Kossvrn's PRAYER-The following prayer
was offered by Kossuth, kneoling at the grave
of the Magyar heroes, who were slain in the
battle OF Rapoyna. When We remember that
he was surrounded by a large multitude, who
stood in breahless silence, and deep grief, It's
eloouence starles us, and its profound solem'
nity and wonderful pahOs touch the lowest
dep,hs of feeling. What wonder that soul
in which such thoughts are born, and tongue
so apt in wondrous uttcrancc, should sway the
people with an influence absolute Thee Is
in this prayer wildncss majesty, hlgh
poetry, an earnestncss that we never met with
before in similar combinations:

heroic brethren; above my head the sky is
blue and below my feet the earth Is dyed red
with the holy blood cf the children OF our an.

fall here that flowers may spring up from The
blood so that these hulls of departed beings
may not mouldcr unadorned. God of our

procuring 4 supply Of water for the CITY Of Al

600 gallons may be daily obtained, while the
quantity deemed necessary for the present

1t Is proposed TO dam the creek some eight
miles from the city, and there build two prn-
cpaI reservoirs, capable Of containing 4sO,
600 900 gallons. From this point it is con
tempIated to convey the water througha brick

last poinI, some 22G feet above the water, the
distribution in iron pipes commences. The
entire cxrense Of building reservoirs, ,conduits,

Lcndon Tines says; 1t must be admitted
that its tone is unobjectonablc, nay, even

acting not as free agents, but as the victims ot
