Measures for Exciting Attention. In
a pleasant country village, not far from
this city, we had the privilege of attend
ing Sabbath-evening prayer meeting
We had the presence and aid of venera-
bic and much respected clergyman, one
of those whose communications make up
the appendix to DR. Spragues Lectures on
Revivals. The meeting was held in the
school-room ofthe Academy, and large
number of the boarding scholars and other
young people were present. After sever
al prayers and other exercises, the worthy
father took his seat on the raised platform,
and requested the principal of the school to
send one of the little boys with Bible, to
read single verse for him. A lad soon
stood by the side ofthe minister
