THE EFFECTS OF PRAYER,

During revival Of Religion with which,
? New England village was come years
since blessed, lady, the wife Of captain
Of a merchant ves el, was hopefully sub
jet Of divine grace. There was nothing
particularly marked in the case of Mrs
W., except nm unusual solicitude, tha,
others should fee to the ark Of safety, the
strong tower in which she had fouNl re-
fuge. .rs ..-....... .....
Her anxiety for her husband, then at
sea, was inttasei her concern for him
seemed at dmes to predominant over eve.
ry thing else. lie Was not only her dear
est earthly friend, but he was peculiarly
exposed to temptation, aud to sudden
death without preparation. He was shut
put from the means Of grace, and beyond
the Influence Of intercourse with pious
friends. She could hope for no commu.
nica,ion with him before his return, and
two months Of his absence still were IN
anticipation. Such deep solici,ude led
10 frequent and iinportunate prayer on his
behalf; Cor praYer was her only hope.
Weeks and mc2ths clsr.e'i; at last
intelligence came to her aching heart,
that the weasel had arrived in New York.
"sll WE'LL" Now, what q tumult Of excl.
ting emotions filed her breast joy that
Der husband was alive, Was we'll, and
would soon return to the bosom al his
family, hope that the Spirits influence
would reach his heart, convince him oi
sin, and make him new man and fea.
that he might regret the change in her,
and become estrnnged because she had
left MI to follow Christ.
Tho conflict was short. for her fond
husband followed quickly in the wake IL
the letter, and rushed 10 the arms VI his
wife with Sll the ardor Of warm hearted
sailor. Thank God. you arc safe, my
dear husband" said she. Imagine If you
can. her delight when he replied, Thank
God, I ana sate, not only for the present
tune, but ! hope for all eternity. You
will not love less because ] am a better

Captain W. MAS evidently the result
Of the influences Of the Holy Spirit with
no other human instrumen .ality than the
prayers Of his wife, and those her friends
who knew her ardent dcsi.cs for such a
hlcssipg.
Captain w had always been a strict.
