the prayer of millions ascends TO thy Heaven,
praising The unsearchable power of thine On

blue, and under my feet the earth is dfed red

fall here that flowers may spring up from the
blood, so that these bulls of departed beings
may not moulder unadorned God of our ia

soul OF brave nations thunder TO break the
iron hand OF tyranny as it forges its chains
As free man kneel on these fresh graves,

Progress ofthe Cholera.-The cholera had
entirely disappeared from Louisville. KY last
Thursday, and the Journal says -
1--WE have good authority for stating that
it viii moi again make its appearance. unless
we shall have continued rains during the sum
mer months, which is hardly probable
The cholera is abatng at Lexington, Ky,
also. From Friday week to Tuesday eve-
ming last, 90 deaths. The Observer, of We'd
nesday, says:
eve have heard of but a single new case
OF cholera in the city to-day, and nearly allof
the old cases are doing well. The total num-
Der of deaths in the city up 10 this time, OF
cholera, is 167.
eve hear still OF good deal of sickness
in the country, but not many deaths. The
small town of Athens has been severely Attic
ted with cholera within the last few day."
At Maysville, KY, from Saturday week
noon to Tuesday noon, 16 deaths occurred,
making in all 80 since the first appearance OF
cholera in that city. The Eagle says There
is very evident decrease in the sickness, and
confidence is considerably restorel.'
Several cases of cholera had occurred on
Raven creek, Harrison county, KY. and near
Centreville, Bourbon county. A MIR. Stapp,
in Scott county, had lost four negroes.
i he InleTHefitS DIT NASHVILLE 1 et1H., IOI the
four days ending on the evening of the 18th,
were 90, of which were cholera.
At Lebanon, Tenn, up TO Sunday evening
week, there had been Is deaths of cholera,
and several cases were under treatment.
AT Nashville, Tenn there has been 3,100
Cholera cases, with 422 deaths, from January
let 10 July 4th So states letter from thence.
Al Columbus, Ohio, for the days prece-
ding the Goth, there had been no new cases of
cholera but in the Penitentiary there were
three deaths from old cases. The Statesman
says :" Gov. Ford has made some pardons,
but moi without due consideration and mature
judgment He came in no panic.'
The st. Louis Republican mentions The sim
gular fact that though since the prevalence Of
cholera in that city, there has averaged 70
person in the Jail, there has not been single
death, though few have been slightly al
tackled. 1t attributes it to regular habits and
diet, and no liquor. The Louisville Journal
mentions the same singularity in the Jail of
that city, and the like was the case in 1882.
At Wilmington, Del, up to four O'Clock on
Saturday afternoon there had been only five
cases of cholera reported in that city for the
entire week. There were in the Aims house
twenty-five cases-making the whole number
reported twenty seveE--out Of which mum.
Der there were Ten deaths.

4 Good OHe-The Hartford Comm Ga
zette, tells the following good one, which we'll
hits off the practice of running ourselves down
that others may be induced 10 compliment -
Very few, as in the case OF the pious Mr.. H.,
that would like to be taken at their word.
In a village not dozen miles from Hart
ford, the members of a religious society were
in the habit of holding prayer meetings in the
church, in which they made kind of con-
fession, commonly called, "tellIng ones ex
perience" A very pious member of the flock,
Mr. H., sometimes invited Mr.. P, who was
rot member, to attend the " experience NICE
tings" AT one of these. MIR. H., In relating
his experience, state that he was great sim
ner-that he had sinned daily, and with his
eyes open-wilfulIy and knowingly slnned-
that goodness dwelt not in his heart-that he
was absolutely depraved-and that nothing
but the boundless mercy and infinite goodness
of Jehovah, manifested through the atoning
blood of the redeemer, could save him from
eternal perdltion. Mr.. P. who had acciden-
tally been placed upon the " anxious seat y
was called upon after his neighbor H. ended,
| to relate his s. experience" He arose and
with great gravity, said he had very little to
say of himself; butt brethren would remem-
Der, that he had lived for twenty five years
the next door neighbor 10 Mr.. H., that he
knew him well, and it gave him great pleas
ure (because he could do so with entire sin
cerity) to confirm the truth of all brother H
had confessed of himself'' When MIR. F sa
down under the smile of the whole congrega
ton, the worthy parson not excepteds MIR. II
went up to him and said, You are rasca
and a liar, and I'll lick you when out
church,
