astic and sympathsing meeting took place at the

an Grafton on the Imprisonment of the Pride
Germany, and its best living Poet, hinkel and

PRAYER FOR SABBATH SeHooLs.--A concert Of
PRAYER for Sabbath Schools is to be held in churches
of different denominations in this City on Monday
These meetings are appointed at the instance OF
those who arc engaged in the work OF Sabbath
School instruction. From careful investigation,
it appears that of the 10000 children and youth
in this City, between the ages of four and sixteen,
less than $4,000 are even nominally connected
with Sabbath Schools, and not more than $4,000
are regular attendants The startling develop
ments made not long since by the Chief of Pc
lice, show that not only is the religious and moral
training of thousands of these children utterly
neglected but that multitude of them are sys-
tematically trained from childhood to the practice
of vice, and are continually exposed to the lntiu-
ence Of the most corrupting examples.
