RELIGION, MORALS AND PHILOSOPHY. Rev. C. C. BROWN, Editor. MY PRAYER; If, when I kneel to pray With eager lips, I say, **'Lord, give me all tte things I desire, Health, wealth, fame, friends, brave heart, religious fire, The power to sway roy fellow men at will, And strength fdr mighty work to banish ill" In snch a prayer a3 this The blessing I must miss. Or if I only dare To raise this fainting prayer : "Thon seest, Lord, that I am poor and weak, And cannot tell what things I ought to seek ; I. therefore, do Cdt ask at all, but si ill I trnst thy bounty all my wants to fill,'* My lips shall thus grow dumb, The blessing shall not come. And if I ?jwiy fall, And thus in faith I call : ^Through Christ, O Lord, I pray thee give to me Not what I would, but what seems best to Thee, Of life} of health, of service, and of strength ; Until te my full joy I come at length ;' ' v If j prayer shall tuen avail ; The blessing shall not fail. -Richardson. Mr. Bingle^ Old Coat. 'Splendid !' said Mrs. Bingle, pul li og the collat up and skirt down, and setting " the pocket saps, as farmer Bingle tried on bis ne* overcoat "Beal silk-vel? vet collar.' ^Yes, and snch a piece of cloth ? Forty-five dollars for the whole thing.' 'Forty-five dollars*!' echoed Sam and Jim, admiringly. 'Yes. . Seventeen for the tailorin' and tri m m i D'S a?d twenty-eight for the cloth. It'll do me till Fin gray.' 'What you gora' to do with- the oid one. paT asked Jim: .It's a good coat y?fc;' said Mrs. Bin? gle. 'Sam'Il be grown into it by two years more.' .First-rate coat Bat-I was think in* some of givin' it io Parson Graves. You see, it'll go on Ory account for the year, and 1 won't haft* so much to pay on his salary.' Mrs. Bingie oeasnr?cf rf!th ber eye how much Sam woulf ' hare to grow i>efbre fitting well into ?he roomy coat, and decided it might be' ?tr Jeasfr three years is th?course of which' 'ftirie, added to the seven daring which if ?neigh t have been doing doty on Sundays sad great occasions, it might begin to look old fashioned, and Sam might cbj?ct- io wear? ing it, that young gentlc&an having already begun to develop' ar taste for j ( clothing which came reasonably near j I fitting him. So it was agreed that Parson Graves should have' tho old overcoat. Accordingly, on the next Saturday, when tba farmer with his wife was about to drive into the country'sown, he -asked at the last auraient : 'Now, where's that coat ?' .Bless ?ie V cried Mrs. Bingle; Pvc " been so bnsy ever the butter aad eggs, if I didn't forget aboutit! Sally, Sally/ she ran ?iotie ?ouse calling to die girl who helped in the kitchen, 'run up to the spare chamber and tabs' t?t?.t overcoat that hangs there, and ES Lie' of 'them papers that lies on the shelf, and wrrap it np weil and bring it to me'.' .Sally brottghtit, and the "inge B?ct Sk lay in Mrs Biag?e'slap as she rode. 'It is a good ?coat,'' ehe observed7, Ifalf regretfully, soootking with her finger a corner of the cloth which peeped" through a hole in the paper, and begau ?revolving in heroaind the possibility ot barn's :grcw%ig into it in two years. 'Sam won^t^be likely to.get any ready 'bought coat half as good as this.' 'Like as not he won't,* agreed* thur Tanner, *bnt never mind. It's Siore blessed to give than to receive, you, knew/* The Bingle household awoke the? next morning with the impression ?b?fc \ I something of an event was impending j s in the family, which impression became, .j s with fail wakefulness, defined into' thc remembrance that the new overcoat? was to be wore for the first time on tba* day. There was, however, no undig? nified haste nor trifling in the matter. The morning chores were done, aborn? ing prayer-cOndvcted with its time-hon? ored lengthiness, and then the farmer leisurely shaved himself as usual, air ono of the windows of the great kitchen; before saying. In as indiff?rant a voice as he could command : 'Jim, ron up stairs and get my over? coat.' Jim went, tat delayed until his mother had pnt thc last touches to thc bow m her bonnet-strings, a process which was almost invariably interrup? ted by ber hnsband with remarks' that j they would be late for church, before he was heard shouting : 'I can't Sod it.' 'Where are you ?ookin' Y 'tn the closet io your room.' 'It's in the closet in thc spare cnam- j ber.* called hii father. j Another long delay, and their* Jim j came down without it. 'I tell yon its on one of them pegs in oar closet,' said Mrs. Bingle, -FH go myself. It's dark, and he can't see, but it's there, for I put it there my? self. 'No' said Mr. Bingle, calling after her, 'it's in the spare chamber closet. I put it there.' She was heard stepping briskly from one room to the other, then back, and then back again. Theo down thc stairs, where she stood before them in sileDce, on bet face blank consternation, on her arm-the did overcoat ! .When did you hang it there Y 'I don't know-the day after it came I guess. The old erne always hung there, so I took it down and hung thc new one there.' Mrs. Bingle sank into a chair. It's gone I 'Gone to Parson Graves !' The boys stared, open-mouthed, unable at first fully to take in the calamity. .But you can get :* pgain,' at length Jim said, hopefully. 'Of course!* said Sam. 'You can tel! Parson Graves it was all a mistake, and it was the old coat you meant for him, and of course he'll change back.' But the farmer shook bis bead rue? fully. 'No, that won't do It's done, and it can't be uadone,' he said with a groan. 'Don't one of you never let on about its bein' a mistake.' The family and the old coat were late at church, thus missing the sight j of the entrance of the new coat, but it lay over the arm of the little sofa in the pulpit. Aud farmer Bingle never j could recall a word of that service j through which he sat trying io bring I himself into some friendly recognition of the fact i hat he had presented his j minister with a fot?v five dvHir over u coat, which He could not hope to Bave counted at anything near its full value j on his yearly assessment, for who ever heard of a country parson having such a coat ? . 'Don't bc look fine though !" ejacu? lated Sam, as Mr. Graves came down the aisle.* 'And don't Mrs. Graves look set up V said J ?iii. , 'Euough to make any woman, to hang on to a piece of cloth like that/ said. Mrs. 'Single. Mr. Bingle was unhitching his horses j as Mr. Graves cau?c out of the church ? door, and did not at first raise His eyes ! as he listened to the remarks passing around. 'Bless me ! What a fine lookin' fel? low our parson is, anyhow! Where on earth did he get that coat ?' 'Must have had a fortune left him.' Mr. BiDgle could not help feeling that the coat had been well bestowed, as its wearer came to meet him with outstretched hands, arid a few quiet, though very earnest words of acknowl? edgment of his gift. The coat had fit? ted the farmer, but there WLS something more than the mere filling out of good cloth in the minister's dignified bearing, and in the scholarly face which appear? ed above it, something which stirred up a feeling in many members of the con? gregation that this servant of the Lord had not hitherto been clothed in a fash? ion worthy of his high office. 'That's a shabby old hat to wear with it/ said one of the village store-keepers". .I'll see about that before Sunday comes 'round/ As Mr. Bingle felt the grasp of his pastor's hand, he began almost to be glad he had given the coat; and then, as the fact of bis having given it was whispered about, to feel ashamed of re? ceiving so much credit for an act which he never would have thought of per? forming. For an honest, and really warm iiature lay under the crust of parsimonious selfishness which had bar? iened aver his heart, as it bas, alas ! Dvfer so many, which might overflow in iceds of kindness to bless those who bave givon not grudgiogly, but their whole selves to thc Master's service. .I feel like aliar; yes Idol' said Vir. Bingle to his wife, with an energy silica startled her as they node home. To have that man shakiu' me by tho land, and ts.ilan' about my generosity, tod his wifefs eyes beatnik' up at me, ind me nor. able to right out and tell em I'm a gaudgm/ light fisted old [ tell you what!'-he gave his horses ?ucb a vigorous cut with the whip that fun abd Sam., on a back backless seat >f the bod sleigh, nearly weat over >ackwards io the snow, 'I've got to get iven with myself somehow, but I dou't [?now just how, yet.' It Was astonishing what a commotion armer ?iugle's* gift created in the par sh. Not oue ?ye had failed to mark ho justice dona by Mr. Graves' goodly igure to thc goodly garment, and with ,u awakening pride at the possession of uch a fine looking pastor came a desire o see him thoroughly well equipped. ?Vilich desire found expression in such . visitation at i he parsonage as had tcver before been dreamed of Cheap joods and cast-offs were ignored in the 'encreras supply of winter comforts rhich each giver made sure should be u keeping with tue new overcoat, and he wives ?ind mothers had seen to it hat Mrs. Graves and the children hould look fit to walk beside that tailor uake up piece of c?ofch. Mr. Bingie had smiled with a light D his eyes which ?ame up from some fhere under that broken crust, at the et of furs which, his wife carried to Irs. Graves that night. But in the arly gray of thc winter morning, he, fith Sam's help unloaded in the back ard of the parsonage, a firkin of butter, he same of lard, and six. barrels of his ?est apples, packed for market. *A good forty-five dollar's worth if 'd carted it half a mile farther/ he aid to his wife, with a face which hone as he sat dovra to breakfast. 'And not a soul heard us/ said Sam, ubbing his hands in great glee. Wish I could see 5em when they find uti' '!Now Fm even/ said the farmer.
