Of the evening, gaiesy began to flag, and some

who sometimes deals in jewelry, and is well

THEODORE Parker ON PRAYER.-A CORES
pondent Of the New York Times, in describing
one of this gentleman's sermons, says:
The preacher 3 satirical comments on pray
or, a. an attempt on the part Of man to change
the purposes Of God, were old and stale He
spoke OF some of the prayers of the Old Test
ament as canals Of devotion, used for drawing
off the waters Of Heaven with q view to turn
ingthe mills Of Solomon ; and said that we con-
tnued to use old forms which have lost their
significance, just as men sometimes keep
up their umbrellas after the shower is over.
He thought there was less formal prayer in
New England than ever, but much moro true
prayer. The noisy and extravagant prayer
sometimes heard at camp meetings he des-
cribed as kind of religious sentimentalisrn,
which could only be compared to oveI read
ing and moonshine. Prayers for rain, or dry
weather. or recovery Of friend from illasss
he considered foolish; though Why these bless
ings should not be prayed for az we'll a. daily
Bread" he didn't explain. ~

walking match which took place at Francoui' 3
Hippodrome, on Saturday night last 1.
"Eleven young men entered the ring. but
after the first round at least ten of them in.
creased the walk to tzot. OF course they
were ruled out of the race. On the fifth round
six continued the walk and run, but the judges
allowed them to 90 on, having made up their
minds to award the prizes to no one who did
not perform the feat fairly. On the ninth
tenth, eleventh and twelfth rounds there were
three men in the ring, two Of whom at the
close came in on fast run.
"A you0g man named Alexander Maxield,
who entered the List as &c Novice B." from the
commencement to the end of the race kept on
regular steady walk. He was the only per-
son who paid attention to the rules, and was
declared the victor on the twelfth round He
made the distance, one mile and quarter. In
ten minutes nine seconds So
