The Lord's Prayer.
We lav before our readers, the Lord
Prayer, beautifully paraphrase,! into a
acrostic, by Thomas Sturt.i-vant, Jr . a sol
dier in the 26th regiment United States In
fantry.
Our Lord and King, who reign’st enthrone
on high,
Father of light! mysterious Deity!
Who art the groat l AVI, the la-t. the first,
Art righteous, holy, merciful and just.
In realms of glory, scene- where angels sin;
Heaven is the dwelling of God our King,
Hallowed thy name, which doth all name
transcend.
Be thou adored, our great Almighty Friend
Thy glory shines beyou 1 creation’s space,
Named in the book of justice ami of grace
Thy kingdom towers beyond thy starry skies
Kingdom Satanic falls, but thine shall rise.
Come let thine empire, O thou Holy one,
Thy great and everlasting will be done !
Will God make known his will, his powe
display ?
Be it the work of mortals to obey.
Done is the great, the wondrous work of love
On Calvary’% cross b* died, but reigns above
Earth bears the record in thy holy word,
As Heaven adores thy love, let earth. O Lord
It shines transcendent in th’eternal skies,
Is praised in Heaven —for man the Saviou
dies.
In songs immortal angel* land his name,
Heaven shouts with joy, and saints his Iov<
proclaim.
Give us, O Lord, our food, nor cease to givi
Us that food on which our souls may live !
This be our boon to-day, and days to come,
Day without end in our eternal home :
Our needy souls supply from day to day,
Daily assist and aid us when we pray.
Bread though we ask, yet, Lord thy bless
ings lend,
And make us grateful when thy gifts descend
Forgive our sins, which in destruction placf
Us the vile rebels of a rebel race,
Our follies, fruits and trespasses forgive,
Debts which we ne’er can pay, or thou re
ceive;
as we, u i.orn, our neigUDors faults o erlook
We beg tbou'dst blot ours from thy memory’:
book.
Forgive our enemies, extend tby grace
Our souls to saift, e’en Adam’s guilty race.
Debtors to thee in gratitude and love,
And in that duty paid by saints above.
Lead us from sin. and in thy Mercy raise
Us from the tempter and his hellish ways,
Not in our own, but in his name who bled,
Into thine oar we pour our every need.
Temptation’s fatal charms help us to shun
But may we conquer through thy conquer
ing Son 1
Deliver us from all which can annoy
Us in this world, and may our souls destroy
From all calamities which men betide,
Evil and death. O turn our feet, aside ;
For we are mortal worms, and cleave to clay
Thine ’tis to rule, and mortals to obey.
Is not thy mercy. Lord, forever free?
Th% whole creation knows no God but thee
Kingdom and empire in thy presence falL
The King eternal reigns the King of all.
Power is with thee—to thee be glory given
And be thy name adored by earth and Heaven
The praise of saints and angels is thy own:
Glory to thee, the everlasting One,
Forever be thy triune name adored ;
Amen ! Hosanna ! blessed be the Lord !

Tri-weekly True Democrat.
The publishers of the True Democrat
propose to issue a ••tri-weekly edition” of their
paper, in addition to the weekly, and com
mence its publication about the first day
Of June next, or sooner, if 1,000 subscri
bers be obtained.
The great battle of the age is to be fought
in November next, and if is necessary ttiat
every man in the community should be kept
informed of the movement of the enemy. Tile
very existence of the South is at stake, and
it becomes everj' Southron to be up and doing.
Intending to be firm and decided, yet calm
and prudent, it will be our aim to defend the
rights of the South without bluster or bravado.
The times demand increased activity on the
part of democrats, and that full and speedy
information should be spread before the pub
lic. This is the first enterprise of the kind
in the State—is demanded by the exigencies
of the times, and we confidently look to the
Democracy for its support.
Terms.— l ive dollars a year. For the
campaign, say until August 15th, “one dol

ment expected on the “issue of the first num
ber.” The size of the tri-weekly will be 25
by 38 inches, containing 28 columns.
