I'rn glad I am a llttle girl,.
And have the afternoons for play,
For if I was a busy ben
I &pose I'd have to work all day.
,And if I was an owl I'd 1•e
Afraid tc keep awake all eight;
And if T was ail elephant
How could I learn to be polite'
•And if I was the Jersey calf
I might forget my name and ruse;
,And if I was a little dog

My•s tltesl When I begin to coot t

There are so many reasons why
I'm glad I'm a little girl.

QUEER SCOTCH PRAYERS.
Some of Tlleln Were Not Without
Point and Humor.
PREACHER GEO1IDIE's 1NVCCATION.
No country in the word has produc-
ed such a plentiful crop of curious
prayers as Scotland, where extempore
"prayer is the rale among the Presby-
terian clergy. Doubtless a great
inaany of the prayers which appeared
fin the papers fathered upon the cierev
sof the Lead of Cakes pro apocryphal,
I,bu,t these quoted in this article are
-undeniably authentic.
Preacher Geordie, an eccentric itin-
.t9r€ltlt monster, who was fatuous all
'bluer Sootland at the beginning of the
preseut century for his nowhy, homely
sermons, was also noted for his ur-
iigissal prayers. ou one occasion he
•emeatationsily ascended the pulpit of a
toouutry . church with his fiddle—his
inseparable companion —'• under his
arm. Ile thea very devoutly set abour
aiding the precentor by means of the
instrument in rising the tune. Ob-
serving some little tittering among the
songregatiou—for the vigilance of his
suspicion was extreme — he took
occasiou in his prayer, where, es lie
often said, he found htu►self..least
straitened, to express himself iii ,hose
or the like terute : ''Good Lord, 'thy
people—Thine own peculiar, Chesson
people t,f old—were wout to praise
Thee with tuber and with harp, with
rackbut and with psaltety ; and 'thy
douce and loyal servants were seen
