IKE WALTON'S PRAYER. Terave, dear Lord, No boundless hoard Of gold and gea Nor jewels fine, nor kine, Nor treasure-heaps of anything— Let but a little hut be mine Where at the hearthstone I may hear The cricket sing, And have the shine Of one glad woman's eyes to make, For my poor sake, Our simple home a place divine — Just the wee cot, the cricket's chirr, Love and the smiling face of her. L pray not for Great riches, nor For vast estates and castle halls— Give me to hear the bare footfalls Of children o'er An oaken floor ; New, rinsed with sunshine or bespread With but the tiny coverlet And pillow for the baby's head ; And, pray Thou, may The door stand open and the day Send ever in a gentle breeze, With fragrance from the locust-trees, And drowsy moan of doves, and blur Of robin-chirps, and drone of bees, With often-hushes of the stir Of intermingling sounds, and then The good wife and the smile of her Filling the silences again— The cricket's call And the wee cot Dear Lord of all Deny me not ! | pray not that Men tremble at My power of place And lordly sway— Lonly pray for simple grace To look my neighbor in the face Full honestly from day to day— Vield me his horny palm to hold, And I'll not pray For gold ; The tanned face garlanded with mirth, It hath the kingliest smile on earth— The swart brow, diamonded with sweat Hath never need of coronet. And so I reach, Dear Lord, to ‘Thee, And do beseech Thou givest me The wee cot and the cricket's chirr, Love and the glad, sweet face of her. James Whitcomb Riley.

IN THE STILLY NIGHT, Oft in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chains have bound me, Mosquitoes wing their Aight Down through the gloom around me. They go a-whinging past my ears Just as the dream-gods woo me; Whereat contentment disappears ‘And shivers travel through me. Thus in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chains have bound me, Mosquitoes come to light Upon and buzz around me. 1 And then I toss and make ‘A many a swipe to smash them, And fail and lie awake ‘And hear them singing, dash them! 1 feel like one whose hope is gone, And wonder how in thunder They got between the sash and screen, 1r squeezed in through or under. Thus oft in stilly nights “They come, their outhts bringing, And mingled with their bites Is their infernal singing. —Chicago Times-Herald. No well-regulated household should be with- out Dr. J. G.
