pRAYERS AFTER A FUNERAL.

We extract the following from New York
paper. 1t Is letter from bereaved father,
whose feelings and the feelings Of his family
had been deeply wounded by prayer, that
was offered at conference BY person in
Troy, named Robbins, on an evening after
the funeral Of his son.
On the 25lh day Of May last, by the dis.
pcnsation of Divine Providence, one of my
children, son Of about 10 years of age, was
suddenly taken away by the hand of Death.
lie was buried the next day and in the same
evening, prayer or conference meeting was
held by certain members of the first Pfesby.
terian Church in this city, DIR. Amatus Rob.
bins, Of said church, was present, and made a
prayer, in which he used the following or
similar language -
30 God see individuals in this honse
that have been under strong convictions and
have greved away the Holy Spirit, and are
given up Of God. For Such, Oh God, we do
not pray. But there a7e impenitent sinners
in this house, that are still within the reach
of mercy. Save them, Oh God save them
from going down to hel--Do not in thine an.
ger send them as suddenly down TO HE'LL
as hon didsf the young man yesterday Thou
knowest. oh God, that he was vile sinner"
Need say how my feelings were wounded?
Can describe the anguish which it carried
TO the feelings Of my wife, the mother of my
deceased son? 1t was enough to tear asun'
der the fibres Of our hearts--it filed that cup
Of afllictoA which we had been called upon
so suddenly TO partake OF, to overlooking.
Where is the parent who would not be panied
beyond the power Of utteyance, at the recital
Of such language, relating to bis own child,
and uttered with such cold hyena feroci,y be-
fare public audience; and all this ere the
lifeess form Of his child had become cold, or
the peaceful sod Of earth had rested upon his
head.
called upon DR.. r. and inquired of him
whether the "young man" alluded to was my
son? To which he answered in the ailirma.
tive. asked him if he had ever been ae.
quainted with my son, or his character? He
replied that be never knew him, even by sight,
and was not acquainted with his character.
1t is true that do not agree with DR. r. on
religious principles but differ from him no
wider than he does from me. For his opin-
ions and those ofthe denomination to which
he belongs have due respect
In conclusion, il is proper to remark, that
the denomination TO which DR. X. belongs. so
far ns have heard, do not sanction his Ian
guage in this case on the contrary, several
OF his brethren in religious matters have ex
pressed to me their decided disapprobstion Of

II rs impossible to speak Of such prayers in
terms oi adequate reprobation. They are an
outrage to humanity; and the man, who Is
capable OF offering them, is but monster.

madness OF innaticism, can excuse express
sions not less irreverent than brutal

Go. have enabled the proprietors to reduce the
price very much TO Druggists and also the retail
price to 3S cents for the small, and 75 cents for

years past, they have proved to be one Of the
most valuable remedies ever yet discovered for

Thousands have experienced the happy effects
OF this Healing Batsam, and many Of the highest

most extraordinary and unexpected cures have
been performed by the use Of this medicine in
cases OF long standing, in which other medicine
had produced no favorable effects, and where
the most skilful Physicians had given them up
as hopeless. II is not pretended that they are
an iniaibe cure in all cases, hut of such as are

been forced to erase from the catalogue

honor TO Il better cause. There are,
however, some few that still remain the

ed an "cG'cjal' or semi-qGiciM bulletin,
signed by the Surveyor of this port,

queer document, the Surveyor declares
that g the subscriber, that is. tho Sur

encc his "OFFlCiAL ASSOCI-
ATES," as to what course they should
pursue in political matters. This, we
admit, is very pompous, but it by no
means answers the allegations contained
in our last paper 1t is presumed that
the public are to understand the Survey
or, when speaking of his official assoc
ciatcs," as having reference to the Col
lcctor, his Deputy, the Naval Officer,
Weigher and Guagcr, and the permanent
Inspectors. How is this, Mr. Surveyor,
are we night or not' BE that as it may,
however, we assert, and arc prepared to
prove the fact, that an improper influence
has been brought to bear upon some indi-
'idua'S IN reference to the approaching
election, and that that influence cmanated

qualification to copy the following extract
of letter recently received at Provi-

torious officer be hailed with pleasure
by every friend of our Navy.
"By this days mail, Com. Creighton
has received from Washington the pro-
cccdings Of the Court Martial for his tri-
al. The result is IA full and honorable
acquIltal of that very csimablc officer. on
all the charges and specifications, except
that charging him with having twice re-
ccived pay for the month Of July, 1929.
The sentence says:-
" But the Court ndverting to the man
ncr in which the time for entering his
name upon the books Of the irieatc Ilud-
son was asccrtaincd, and also the fact
that any error in such entry, or in the IL
mount charged or received by him must
necessarily be discovered upon the first
examination of his occounts by the ac-
counting officers, do not believe that
Commodore Creighton was guilty of any
intention to deceive or impose upon the
accounting officers of the Navy Depart
mcnt ofthc United States, and notwith-
standing the irreguarIty Of the proceed

ncctcd with them. The Court sentence
