A MISAPPLIED PETITION.

Not long since the choir in one of the fashionable churches of the South rendered a long and difficult anthem—one with many frills and furbelows. The good minister sat patiently through it, but when the anthem was finished he arose and, to the amusement of both congregation and choir, began his prayer in deeply-earnest tones, saying, "O Lord, we thank Thee that we are still alive!"—Lippincott's.
