IVIISCELIIAN 

A§i't-ctiiig Enntiiatentf

In one of our W'e.~tr-rii towns, a clorgynian
was one morning told by his wife, that. a lit-
tle boy, the son of a neiglibor, was verysick
ncarto death, and asked if he would not go
in and see him.

“ I It-fit‘{lly know what to do," said the good
man. “I fear my visit would not be r. cll
received.”

“ I:}iit,” rejoined tho wife, 5‘ when you
were sick. a short time since, the mother of
the little I34)‘ sent in kindly every day to in-
quire how you were, and I think they will
expect you to come and are tlicir son."

This was a eiitiicic-ut iii-Iuccmcut, and he
was soon on his way to the dwelling of sur-
row. The mother was hanging in anguisli
over her precious and bcriutiful child, who
was tossing from side to side in the delirium
of a brain fever. The miiiisicr, after watch-
ing him a few nioincnts, turned to the lady
and said-—

“ This poor little child ‘should be kept per-
f('CIl_V (piiel madam; he should not be exci-
ted iii any manner.”

“ Sir,” said she, “will you offer a pray-
el. 27}

At first he hesitated, fearing the effect up-
on thc child ; but, on second thought, knelt
at the bedside, and uttered :1 few petitions in
His name who said “ Suffer little children
to come unto Me." The moment he coin-
iucuced speaking, the little sufl”erer, who till
now seemed uncon.-cious of his presence,
C(;‘JtSG(I his moans, lay still upon the boil, and
fixiiig his dark eyes upon him, listened in-
tently to every word. The minister rose
from his knees, said it few words to the modi-
er,-and uent liomc, leaving the child in a
perfectly irarquil state. 'I‘he. next iiiorniug
the first intr-llif_r_ence which greeted him was
that little Frank lino’ died during the night. ‘

1~Ie ‘rind become extremely interested, and
the apparent «fleet of the voice of prayer
upon the dying boy, had surprised him. He
went again to visit. the family, attended the
funeral, and at lcngilt learned from the moth?
cr, the following facts:

She had two children. Frank was the el-
dost, and the second was a dalightel‘ of five
years-.' A few months before, little Alice had
gone to spend the night with some compan-
ions in the neighborhood, whose parents
were Christians, and were training their chil-
dren to follow their steps. As they were
about retiring to rest, llt8SG little ones said
to their visitor, who did not know the Lord’s
_P ray ei'—--

*‘ Come, Alice, kneel down with us, and
say,‘ Our Father,’ before we go to bed.”

Alice, being a bright little girl, soon com-
mitted to memory the precious form of pray-
er which has gone up from so many lips
since the Savior first uttered it. The next
morning, full of animation, and delighted

with her new acquisition, she returned home
and the moment her brother Frank appear-
ed trom schooI,.<.Iie begun to tell him allabout
her visit, and beg him to learn Our Father,
and say it with her.

From this time,“ the mother said, kneeling
together, they had daily repeated the Lord’s

Prayer, with great earnestness and delight, .

and had also learned other prayers, in which
lhPylSCén1e(I much interested.
-A few days before he ivasy-taken sick,
Franlc had come to her with a book in his
:'v.ud._ and. said-

‘_‘ Oh, mother, brre is a beautiful-praycr——
will you let me read it to you P”

It was the reinembrance of this which in-
duced her tomake the request that the minis-
ter would pray by the bed of her suffering
boy, and this was the secret of the calming
influence which that prayi-r excited. Ilc
continiied thus tranquil a long time, but at
length his distress returned, and the hour of
death drew near. About uiirlniglii, suflercd
and agoiiized, he begged of his mother to
send for the good minister to pray again.-
I-Ic must have somebody to pzziy. The pa-
rents disliked to call him at that hour of the
night, and knew not what to do. At last
the mother went up stairs. and, taking the
little sleeping Alice froin her bed, brought
her to her. lirotl'ier’s ‘bedside, and told her
ix-"lint: Franl: wanted. Iiiiiuediatcly She
knelt down, and slowly and solemnly re-
pirated the prayer which they both so much
loved, and then, iinasked, said—- —

" Now Frauliy lays him dovu to sleep,
I pray the [lord his soul to keep;
If"'he should die‘ before he wake,

1 pi':iy_tI1o Lord his soul to take.”

The first words soothed the sutfcrer, and
with [be last his spirit flcd. Witnesscd earth
