SrcrErte PRAYER. The following in.
cidentrclates Of Washington, illustrates
the value put upon the privilege OF Sc
crct prayer by the "Father of his coun-
try," In the most dark and dItressing
season Of the American revolution, the
eommander.in. chief Of our armies was
observed TO retire each day to grove in
the vicinity ofthe camp. II was Of the
Valley Forge. A series OF dsastere
had dlsheartened the army, and the sky
was overcast with deep cloud, aud dis
tress and anxiety prevaded the nation.--
Tho army was in want of the comforts
and almost Of the Indispensable neces-
saries ofllfe, aud disanectIon was spread
ing In the camp. Curiosity prompted
an individual TO follow the commander.
in-chief, and to observe him. The Iath.
er OF his country was seen on his knees
supplcatlng the God Of hosts In secre,
prayer. With an anxious aud burdenct
mind u mind conscious OF lis need o.
heavenly support and devotion, he wcn'
and rolled these mighty burdens upon
the arm o: Jehovah. Who can tell how
much the liberty Of this nation Is owing
! 20 the answer 20 the prayers Of Wash
ington at tho Valley Forge I Or rath
er who can doubt that that spot wher,
he plead with God was place as close

INCIDENT ON qnR kAiLsoAp,--A cor.
respondent Of the Port Huron CONNER
cial communicates the following 10 thai
journal: -
At the time and place OF meeting
The train Of cars. ollentimes amusing
incidents occur. Imust record one OF
the most ludicrous. and a, the same
time awkward affairs. In passing by
tho Ingersoll station. there was grea.
crowd OF people who had escorted a
couple who had been joined in the
bonds Of wcdlock. All were smiling
as tho morning sun. The baggage
had been checked for Detroit, where
they we're destined rs theis bridal trip.
The couple was seated ia the cars.
which only tarry o few moments.
when the bridegroom. Mt her sugges-
ton, stepped out to get some cakes.--
While making change. the whistle blew
and both trains started. He jumped
on and passed out. and after very
leisurely stoing away the cakes in his
pocket. he started forward TO hunt his
bride. He looked all through the
train without finding her. and then
accosted the conductor rs follows in
great excitement; al say captain
some Of the passengers are left"
Cant help il, sir" replied the con-
ductor.
but" says the bridegroom. IL
was married this morning, and my
wife was aboard and | don't see how
she got out" The conductor seeing
what fx he was in. and where the
mistske war, asked him where he was
going. to which he replied that be was
going to Detroit. m
"Well them" says the conductor,
"you ARE The one who go. out. You
are now going towards the Niagara
Falls" 't =
"Great God. is that so?' "well
stop the cars immediately" says the
bridegroom.
"Can'i do it," says the conductor.
1--WE never stop for anything"
"Bnt." says the man, al am just
married this morning. and here am !
am going one way and my wife the 9TH
er. Was ever man IN such fix.
and the captain won't stop the cars
al know il is a bad fix to be in"
said the conductor. "but | can't help
it. l know how you feel. / have been
married myself, but I must obey or
ders."
BY this time n crowd In the cars
had collected around the unfortunate
man, all Of whom knew the whole af-
fair. A lantern jawed specimen of o
Yankee near, hearing it all, put in q
word or two:
"Look here old fellow you have
got to grin and bear il. Iwish ! could
help }, ou as you have raised all my
