- PRAYER. During the sttings OF the
W4rfcn AsIoc.ation, which assembled in
tbs town on the tenth instant, quite Il mnlti-
trde Of that ancien; ana p;ous people, the Bap
fists, visited this place, for the purpose Of con-
grcgatiug and communicating, and informing
each Other of the success of their respective
churches.
The asscmbllgc was composed Of all ranks
and classes Of society, from the venerable
doctor Of dlymity, down 10 the humble and
contrtc African; and whilst the aged matron,
grown grey IN the service Of the Lord, ascend
cd her pr ,isc1 TO the throne Of the Most Ugh,
the o' ely Rchccca, ard the timid Mary, join
ed in the prayer, or chauEtcd songs of adora-
tioa at the altar Of the everlasting God
These holy offerings we're not confined 10 the
tahcrGatic Of the Rcdccmer; but at the dawn
Of day, and amid tho shades Of evening, in the
retired dwellings, of the unostcntious citizen,
there were found little groups Of the pious and
yirtuous, offering up the outpourinss of gratc-
inl and fcrycnt hearts, to the GIvER OF ALI
Coon, and mp!or;ng HEN to descend his
blessings md mcrcics upon the fallen race Of
man.
Being called out upon business, at rather an
early hour on Tuesday morning, on our way to
the place wither our steps were directed, We
passed the residence Of an humble citizen, who
'labors for his daily bread, and who with a
young and interesting family, dcvotes himself
to the service Of his God. II was scarcely
Daylight, but the CLEANS Of taper-ight,
glimmercd through the apartment, and she'd
ding its slvory rays upon the window discoy-
cred the vrtuous group engaged in solemn
prayer. a few friends from the ncighboring
state, had associated with them, and whilst
thus engaged in their early devotions, tho
group presented a spectacle equally imposing
and instructive, and calculated to awaken
the sympathies Of the most obdurato behold
er.
A young female, neatly attircd, was bending
at the shrine of the Saviour, and whilst her
pious aspirations ascendcd to the Most High,
the spontaneous though silent prayers Of the
group were mingled with hers, and asccnded
TO the same pure fount Of Justice and Mercy
Although, we do not attach ourselves 70 any
particular denomination, and do not very Of
ten obtrudc upon the meditatons Of the pious,
yet, TO Us there is nothing more sublime, and
| imposing, than that Of multitude, or little
group, when engaged in the -fervency Of hal
lowed devotioE. Sccp.ics may laugh, the
infdel may snecr, and the freo-ihnkcr may
declaim, yet all cannot destroy the sublimity
Of pure and undefiled religion; ard although
we may not practice its precepts, still there is
nothing SO interesting and fascinating, as the
holy aspirations Of 4 pious and n lovely wo-
man!

of the falseloods and vilany Of Strang;-he
would have spurned the man from his pres

the common pimp and pandor to sensuulty
and the depravcd tastes OF the credulous and
ignorant multitude. But ur. cd on by thirst
for the accumulation of the treasures Of the

honest livelihood by an honorable practice at

obscene catch-penny work, with the hope OF
gaining something to Gil his pockets. The
cmolumcnt derived from the sale Of the book,

there is every reason to believe. that instead

.Naral .asyIums.- the authority of the acts
Of Congress of 1898 and 1911, the Government
purchased, in June last, site ON the Schuylkil
river, Philadelphia, for the purpose of erect
ing thereon I" a permanent Asylum for disabled and
decrepid navy officers, seamen, and Marines" and
the corner stone Of the editice was laid on Monday
last with the usual ceremonies, in the presence of
the Commissioners of the Navy, and many other
officers and citizens A full account of the pro-
ceedings will be found under the Philadelphia head.
From an interesting report made to Congress du-
ring the last session, by the Commissioners OF the
Navy Hospital Fund. (which we shall publish at
large hereafter, learn that the Government has,
in execution Of the acts above mentioned, also
purchased since 1929 sites for hospitals, near the
Navy Yards at Boston, New York, and Norfolk
The Commissioners state, in their report, that
Z" they have employed MIR. Strickland, very skill
full and experienced architect, to make the neces
sary contracts for materials, and superntened the
building of permanent Asylum for disabled and
decrepd Navy officers, seamen, and marnes," at
Philadelphia; and Mr. Haviland, another skikui
and experienced architect, 70 make the contracts
for, and to superintend the building of, a hospital
near Norfolk, Virginia Both the asylum and the
hospital, they hope, will be completed within the
next year, in manner suited to the interesting
nature Of the works themselves, and to the obliga
tons due to those out Of whose funds the cost Of
their erection is to be betrayed. They pro.
pose, also, to proceed with the hospitals at
Charestown and Brooklyn, as soon as the funds
under their control will permit and if the recon-
mendatons which they have suggested, to pay to
the fund what is really due to It. be adopted by
Congress, they do not doubt that they will be able
to complete all the hospitals mentioned, in the
course Of the next two years." Thus, there is g
fair prospect that our veteran tars, who have been
disabled, or grown gray " in the service Of the
State will soon be provided with retreats where
they may enjoy the repose and ctrhforts provid-
ed for them by the Kindness of their country.
We could have wished that it had been compat-
Bile with the views of the Government to have pla-
ced one of these Asyums Oil the beautiful and
appropriate site, embracing eighty acres, on the
Anacostia, above the Navy Yard of this City.

Cerehony.-It is remarked by some writer that
6 excess of ceremony shows want of good breed
ing.'' This is true.-There is nothing 50 trouble
some as overdone politeness; it is worse than an
overdone beef-stcak. A truly well bred man makes
every person about him feel at ease he does not
throw civilities about him with shovel, nor toss
compliments in bundle, as he would hay with
pitchfork. There is no evil under the sun more
intolerable than ultra poteness.
