We knelt down together on the rich car
pet, instead Of the cold earth, and prayed
as fervently as prayed before in the log
cabin; but in what different strain! In-
stead of the almost despairing supplication,
and enrcaty Of forlorn hearts, crushed to
the earth with sorrow, thanksgiving, praises
and gratitude now rose spontaneously from
our tongues and hearts. o, the heart of

Washing Windows.-A correspondent
Of the american Agriculturist gives the
following improved mode Of washing win

to us, may he valuable TO many for our
readers:
/ have great aversion to securing
knives, and never touch brick-dust if can
help it; but if their brightness depends on
me, prefer to rub them three times day
rather than once, for it is less labor, and
they last longer.
The incest article for washing windows
is deer-skin, as no particles come off to adj
here to the glass and make it look ns If
washed with feathers. There is no need OF
anything larger than handbasin for
washing windows. The great splashing
some people make in the exercise of their
art is entirely useless, and is, moreover,
deleterious. When the water is permitted
to run down in great quantities over the
glass, it dissolves the putty and soon loosens
the panes from their setting, and also stains
the glass. Two pieces of wash-leatller. and
bowl of suds ARE all that are necessary.
Wipe the glass first with the wet cloth or
leather, and after it has become dry, with
the clean cloth, and it will look clear. and
