THE FIRST RAYER IN CON-
GRESS.

The subloined extract oil characteristic
letter from John Adams, describing scene
in the first Congress, in Philadelphia, in Sept.
1774. shows very clearly on what Power the
mighty men of old rested their cause. Mr.
A. thus writes TO friend al tie time.
when the Congress met MIR Gushing
madea motion that il should be opened with
PRAYER. 1t was opposed by MIR Jay. of New

some Ansbaptists. some Presby'erlans, and

Adams arose, and said, 'that he was no big

ger, in Philadelphia, but had heard that Mr.
Duche( Dushay they pronounced it. observed
that character, and therefore he moved that
Mr. Duche, an Episcopal clergyman, might
be desired to read prayers before the Con-
gress, tomorrow morning. The motion was
seconded, and passed in the affirmative Mr.
Randolph, our President waited on Mr. Du-
che, and received for answer, that if his health
would permit, he certainly would. Accor-
dinghy, next morning, he appeared with his
Clerk, and in his pontifcals, and read sever
al PRAYERS in the established form, and then
read the Psater for the seventh day oil Sep

THE GOOD WIFE.

How much of this worlds happiness and
nroenerit, is contained in the compass OF
these two short words! Her influence in
immense The power of a wife, for good OF
evil is altogether irresistible. Home must
be the seat of happiness, or it must be for
ever unknown A good wife is to man
wisdom, and courage, and strength, and
hope, and endurance; bad one is confu-
sion. weakness, discontinue, and despair.
No condition is hopeless when the wife
possesses firmness, decision, energy and
economy. There is no outward prosperi-
II which can counteract Incidence, folly
and extravaganza at home. No spirit can
long resist bad domestic influence. Man
is strong, but his heart is not adamant-
He delights in enterprise and action but
10 sustain him, he needs tranquil mind
and whole heart. He expends his whole
moral force in the conflicts of the world
His feelings are Iacerated to the utmost
point of endurance by perpetual collisions
and disappointment. To recover his equa-
nimity and composure, home must be to
him place of repose, of peace, Of cheer
fitness, of comfort and his soul renews
its strength, and again goes forth with
fresh vigor to encounter the labor and
troubles of the world. But if at home he
finds no rest, and there is met with bad
temper, sullenness, or gloom, or is assall-
ed by discomfort, complaint, and reproach-
es, the heart breaks, the spirits are crush
ed, hope vanishes, and the man sinks into
total despair.
