A MAN’S PRAYER Teach me that 60 minutes make an hour, 16 ounces one pound and 100 cents one dollar. Help me so to live that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and unhaunted the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Grant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square, and that in earning it, I may do unto others as I would have done unto me. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of un holy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own. Guide me so that each night when I look across the table at my wife who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing to conceal. Keep me young*enough to laugh with little children, and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. And when comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers, the tread of soft footsteps and the crunching of wheels in, the yard^— make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple, “Here Lies a Man.”—Exchange.
