In Sroudsburg, on The 18th inst, Simpson,
youngest son of William and Hannah Haflock,
aged months and days.
1.-The morning flow'rs display iheir sweets,
And gay their siken leaves unfold;
As careless of The noonlide heats,
AS fearless of ihe evening cold.
Nipt by The winds untimely blast,
Parch'd by The Suns director ray,
The momenlary glories waste,
The shorl-lir'd beauties die away.
So blooms the human face divine,
When youth its path of beauty shows:
Fairer than Spring the the colors shine,
And sweeer than the yirgn-rose
Or worn by slowly-rolling years,
Or broke By sickness in day,
The fading glory disappears
Dwlndles, decays, aud dies away.
Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With luslre brighter far shall shine,
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
Let sickness blast, let !.lealh devour,
II Heavn must rrcompeuse our pains:
Perish the grass, and fade the fow'r,
II firm The woil Of God remains.

UNITED STATES BANK. -Informa-
ton has hcer received in this city,
that the long pending contest be-
tween the Bank of the United States,
her assignees, Messrs. James Dun
das and others, and the late Judge
Hitchcock, of Mobile, involving up
wards of half a million of dollars, has
been decided by the Chancellor of
Alabama, in favor of the Bank and
her Assignees.
The claim of Judge Hitchcock a
rose out of a loan made to him by the
Bank of the United States, and for
which he gave mortgage on his ex
tensive property in Mobile. He sub
sequently set up the defence of usu-
ry to the suits instituted by the Bank.
And he during his life and his repre-
sentatives since his death, have on
that and other grounds, assumed by
them, contested the cause with great
pertinacity. The opinion Of the Chan
cellor in all the points is in favor of
the plaintiffs.
This decision is particularly inter
estingto Philadelphians, as the assets,
the title to which is thus established,
were includedin the assignmentmade

LOUISIANA ELECTIoN-An election
for four members Of Congress, took
place ID this state on the ID inst, and
has probably resulted in the choice of
Loco Focos in all the Districts. 1t
is stated that the vote was by no
means full one. None Of the Wing
strongholds give any thing like a full
vote. The Locofocos have won by
protesting to be better Wings than
the Wings themselves The great
question on which the election APP
pears to have turned, was the protec-
ton of the sugar interest and the mem
bers are pledged to do more for the
protection of that interest than the
Wings could do. Verify Locofoco-
ism is all things to all men. The four
probably successful candidates are
Messrs. .Slidell, Labranche, Dawson
and Bossier. The New Orleans Bee
of the Sth says = FREEDMAN
"We do not know certainly that
the state hasgone against the Wings;
but arguing against the very worst
aspect Of the case, we see no cause
for dismay at the result But we do
see abundant cause for new and
thorough reorganization of our par
ty. And it is necessary for us to 90
to work at once to prepare for next
July. A more important canvass is
before us than any that has taken
place since the state was admitted
into the Union. The election of
members of the convention to re-mod-
e! the Constitution will take place
next July, and the first gun in the
Presidential campaign, that is to de-
eide the fate of our principles, will
be fired in this city"

For the T. lie crap h.
PR AY Z r.

Prayer is desire, request or petition
for some favor. Prayer is always made 10
one who is supposed TO be able TO grant the
thing asked. Ii presupposes superior.
We never ask favor of a person unless We
believe he has il 10 his power 10 grantlt. IL
pre-supposes also, that the person TO whom
we pray is ignorant of our wants; or if not
ignorant of them, at least unwilling 10 sat
isfy them, and needs TO have his sympath-
les enlisted in our favor. For these reasons
we supplicate favors, we present our case
in every favorable point Of view. And we
expect if he is benevolent person TO whom
we pray, that he will relieve US Immediately,
without being long and earnestly Emporium
ed, especially if it is not going to dlscom
mode him in the least, or BE- any inconven-
fence or disadvantage to any one else, but
on The contrary conducive TO their best in
teresis. Now let US examine briefly the
consistency Of praying TO the God of Chlist-
ians.
All christians profess to believe that God
is absolutely immulable. Many passages
of Scripture might be quoted on which they
found this and other parts of their belief.
But it is not necessary 10 quote them here,
as the character shall give 10 God will be
subscribed 10 by all Christians. He is all
wise Almighty. Perfectly just and invar-
iably True Omnipresent. Another char
acteristic Of God is his goodness SO prom.
uent is this attribute o! his character, il is
said that be is Love, the very quintessence
of goodness and benevolence. These are
some OF the attributes Of God, universally
acknowledged by christians.
Prayer is generally commenced by asking
the presence Of God. He is entrealed 10
come and be in the midst of them and yeri-
fy his promise, That where Two or three
are gathered in his name there would be be-
The natural inference from such an invoca
lion is, that they were praying 10 being
!. who is not present with them at the Time
, their exercises commence. And anothe
just inference is that they were praying TO
being whose word is not 10 be relied on, TO
they entreat him TO come and fulfil hi
promise that he would be with them when
/. ever they meet in his name. Or, if II doe
2 not make him faithless 10 his promise,
