WHAT shall one feel in the presence oi
this blessed prayerl 1t is the Lords pray.
err. 1t has been the prayer of his universal
Church! 1t was this that our mother
taught us. 1t was the sacred sentences Of
this prayer thas first opened our infant lips
with the language ofdevotion. It is dear to
our memory il is full of the mists and bud
ding desires of childhood; it is perfumed
with parents love !; it is full of suggestions
of home, brother, and sister. and mother-
1t was the evening prayer. When the sun
had gone down, when shadows stretched
themselves forth more widely, when the
evening star hung silent over the horizon,
when evening insects were full of chirpings,
and the belated bat flung himself noiselessy
about for his food then, in the hush of the
day, bended before mothers knees, with
little hands innocently put together, and
held in hers, with stammering repetition, we
echo with our .child's voice, the soft low
voice of mother, as she uttered with love and
awe this divinest p! aver.
1t is, therefore, rs sacred as use, as love, rs
memory, as devotion, as the hope of heaven.
and the love of goodness can make it, No
using will wear it away it is like the atmos-
phere. Stones crumble under continual foot
steps, the hardest wood will wear under the
softest hands that do ply it for years, but one
may rush through the air forever, and it can
not be chafed or worn. 1t has recovering
.orce like fabled spiritual natures. when
wounded, with instant power to heal ITSELF
And like that ethereal sunlit atmosphere in
this divine prayer, that remains fresh in ev.

trite, no frequency can wear it out, no repe-
titions can tire the soul of it. 1t begins life
with us, it goes through life dearer at every
period, and when age begins to shiver and
trenble among our decayed boughs. this is
that which, like the damsel sought out for
David, lies in our bosom, and lends us
warmth, and breathes another life into our
decaying life a.!

The Progress of Infidelity.

IT Is most earnestly to be dcplored that so
few who are born in this land. and love
American traditions, are aware of the rapid
hatred of Christianity and its concomitants.
which inspires the vast number who are
yearly increasing our poulation from the
continent of Europe. We do not speak of
the convicts and paupers that are smuggled
into our ports from Genoa, Hamburg and
Trieste; but of the tens of thousands of Ger
mans who from year to year come from
provinces Of Europe completely pantheized,
and with whom freedom is considered sy-
nonymous with the downfall of the Kingdom
of the Redeemer. We called attention some
months ago to the fact, that large numbers
of Germans who have come of late years, to
this country are disciples of the anarchist
school Of Heine, according to whose creed
there can be no true freedom until Christi
anity is bloodily abolished. i. e., until n per.
secution by inide!s OF Christians is nstilu.
ted, with ends similar to those of Diocletian
or Sapo-. We showed that elections had
been made to turn upon the single point
whether prar ers should be offered to God
in our Legislatures; whether the Lords day
should be kept, and religious oaths be main
tanned. One of the most influential German
papers in this city, published simultaneously,
articles warning the better class of Germans,
Of whom there are so many in our city, en-
couraging these excuses. Our remarks were
republished in various parts of the United
States, and we trusted that a good result
might be produced. Since then, however.
another anniversary has required of the
i,-da rf -
ed our hearts with shame to learn how the
natal day Of this enemy of God, of his Sa.
vior and Of his country, has been celebrat
The German language constitutes a barrier
which prevents the most of our people from
Imagining what takes place behind the
screen OF that unknown tongue. The Ten.
TONIC dialcc. ensures the existence of the anti
christian legions, whose large numbers are re-
inforced continually from abroad, as a vas
secret society to which none can have aeces,
who do not go through an arduous and
pains-taking apprenticeship Of study, whiel
in the end leaves them when Initiated, onl,
among the first class of novices. Yet,it
