PARAPHRASE OF THE LORD'S
PRAYER.
By b. s. elltkwood.
I.
Our Father ! whose abod- is high,
Beyond the loftiest Heaven's height;
Who sendeth forth thy pure commands
From house sublime, not made with hands;
Whom burning setaphim, with fear
Hallow, nor approach too hear;
May 'all that on this earthly frame,
Or breathe or move, adore tuv name.
u.
Thy kingdom come ! from sea to sea,
Let dutcou nations kneel to thfe;
Thee lord and king, let all confess,
WTho feel Tiir power to harm or bless :
And whilst obedient love inspiies,
In better wot Ids, celestial choirs,
So may each heart, beueaih the sun,
Excfaim, U Loud! tht will be done!"

From tiiee the hungry seek their meat ;
No creatures doth tht care forget ;
With them, Teat giver of all good i
W e cry, "each day, for needful food :
Oh likewise deijrn our souls to feed
With living water, heavenly bread ;
And grant th.it ceaseless blessings may
Cheer and sustain us, day by day.
IV.
IVIitaken, heedlrss, prone to wronjr,
With slip'ry fet, with passions strong,
Too oft, alas I we go astra',
From duty's straight and narrow way :
These wanderin?. Oh reclaim and give
Thy ffrace, to aid us well to live ;
And as for others faults we feel,
To us so let tiiv justice deal.
V.
From all the thousand secret snares,
That jninplp with life's jys and cares ;
Tlir ofi temptations, that allure,
LVn when ne. seem the most seeure ;
O saveu?! thou! whose mighty ana
Alone can Intfle every harm ;
Ant! cause that, free from sin and ill,
We, all thv pleasure may fulfil I

Subject to THEE this wide world lies,
With I1 the orbs that deck the skies;
Nor will thy peerless reien be o'er.
When they shll roll, and shine, no more ;
Thy vast dominion, . Lord ! shall be
Unbounded as Eternity :
Kingdom, and poarer, and glory, then,
O God ! be ever thine ! A men .'

MONTPELIER, Jan. 6.
A Catamount or Cat on the Greene
Mountains. An animal of the Cat spe
cies, of enormous sire and strength, was
killed on Saturday, Dec. 29, in Roxbury,
about fifteen miles from this place. 'It
had been pursued by five gentlemen of
that town, under the expectation of over
taking a bear. , The party, armed with
three muskets, five balls, "broken pieces
of chain, and some buck shot, accompa
nied with three faithful dogs, pursued the
track about six miles, when they overtook
the dogs at the foot of a tree, upon a limb
of which, about forty feet from the
ground, sat a most frightful and ferocious
animal, with the name and nature of
which, not one in the party was acquain
ted. A short consultation was held two
armed themselves with clubs, while the
remainder handled the musket, firmly re
solved on victory or death ! Five
shots were fired, expending the balls, and
five links of chain, with no other effect
than to wound and irritate the highmin
ded and terrific enemy. As a last re
sort, while the animal was waving her
tail, darting vengeance from her fiery eye
balls, and threatening destruction from
her extended jaws, one of the party loa
ded very heavily with powder and buck
shot, and lodged the fatal contents in the j
very " mouth of the enemy." She in- 1
stantly ran down the tree about twenty
feet, leaped fo the ground,' and retreated
with strides some fifteen or twenty feet
at a jump, abiut seventy rods, where she
fought tfie dogs with her fore paws until
overtaken by the men. Unable any
further to retreat, a second discharge of
a musket in her mouth, settled the con
test and gave to the intrepid hunters a
" glorious victory"
The animal (frozen) was brought to
this place in perfect shape It it a fe
male, and the largest we believe, ever kil
led in this part of the country. It mea
sures seven feet in length, thiee feet in
height, and weighs one hundred and eigh
teen lbs. It is no doubt a real Cata
mount The victors draw a ounty of twenty
dollars from the county. We understand
that after exhibiting the animal a short
time for public gratification, it is their in
tention to present it to the museum of
Hanover N. II.

Capt. of schr. , while at one ot
the West India Islands, received the fol
lowing order, among others, from his
owner : I want you to gt me loo mon
keys for a particular purpose Dont fail."
In consequence of-the woid being mis
spelled, and the t not being crossed, the
captain put himself to a great expense
and considerably prolonged his voyage to
accomplish the order in the sense he gave
it. Where have you been so long ?"
said the anxious owner, on his return.
" Looking for your monkeys," said the
enraged captain, and with all my pains,
I have bten able to get butWx7y out of
the 100." " Sixty monkeys exclaim
ed the owner, " why I only want tico."
Here is your order for them, sir," replied
the captain, coolly pulling out the letter.

A Broad Hint. The following adver
tisement of a merchant lately appeared in
the Norwalk, (Conn.) Gazette.
" To the dull of Apprehension.
Whereas, you do not seem fully to under
stand the import of long sentences. I
will treat you to a couple of proverbs,
short but sweet, and easy to be understood:
' Lawyers houses are built with fools'
money.'
A word to the wise is sufficient.'

When Napoleon returned frofn Water
loo to Paris, he was waited upon in his
palace by a little boy, for whom he had
a great partiality. The boy took him
some "coffee. The emperor! sat with his
hands over his eyes. " Take some,,
said the little valet ; 44 it will comfort you."
" Did vou not come from Gonessee ?"
No, sire: from Pierre Fite." 44 Your
parents have some few acres of land and
a cottaoe there, have they not ?" " Yes,
sire' ' " It is indeed a happy life .'" eja
culated the emperor, and again covered
his eyes and face with his hands.
