PRAYER.

MA El6.
20, when the morning shineth,
Go, when the moon is bright,
Go, when the eve leclincth,
Go. in the hush of night;
Go, with pure mind and feeling,
Fling earthly thought away,
And, i'll thy chamber kncelins,
Do thou i'll secret pray.
Remember all who love thee,
All who arc loved by thee,
Fray for those who hate thee.
If any such there be;
Then for thyself in meekncss,
A blessing llumbly claim,
And link with each petition,
Thy great Redecmcr's name.
Or, if It's Ger denied thee
In solitude to pray,
Should holy thoughts come DER thee,
When friends are round thy way,
Zen then the silent breathing
Ofthy spirit raised above,
Will reach His throne of glory.
Who S Mercy, Truth, and Love.
Oh. not joy or blessing,
With this can we compare,
The power that He hath given us
10 pour our souls in prayer.
Wlene'cr thou pin'st in sadness,
Before his ioo,s,ool fall,
Aud remember in thy siadness,
His Grace, who gave thee all.

beneficial change has taken place in the attnos-

beaefit of such state Of things should be inlme-

many leaving the city. We care happy 70 say,
however, that the disease now yields readily 10
medicine, ifearly administered, and proper at
tention is bestowed on the patient. .t.
We hold out no encouragement OF an entire
tire abatement of the fever, at the present time,
for we candidly confess that we believe such
course would be delufive. We are now in the
very worst period of its prevalence. IN former

when taken in proper time, that result fatally.
Sunday last was q npost gloomy day-ltis be-
