A Patriotic Girl.

A bright and patriotic America girl who was recently in Oxford, England, attended an afternoon tea while there, and soon found herself, her country, its institutions and customs objects of great interest. The conversation was animated and prolonged well into the evening, and the young American took a conspicuous part therein. Physically exhausted thereby, the maiden knelt for her customary devotions at her bedside that night in a mood somewhat less attentive than usual, so that, as she confesses confidentially to her friends, she discovered herself saying: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in America.”—New York Tribune.
