THE VALUE OF PRAYER.-Prayer is a
heaven to the shiprecked man, an anchor to
them that are sinking in the waves, staff
to the limbs that totter, mine Of jewels 10
the poor, al healer Of diseases, and guardian
Of health. Prayer at once secures the con-
tinuance of our blessings, and dissipates the
cloud Of our caalni,ies. 0 blessed prayer
thou art the unwearied conquorer of human
woes, the firm foundation Of human happi-
ness the sources of ever enduring JOY, the
mother OF philosophy. The man who can
pray truly, though languisl,ing in extrem-
est indigence, is richer than all beside
whilst tie wretch who never bowed the knee,
though proudly seated us monarch Of all
nations, is of all men the most destitute.

SHADOWS OF AN AWFUL WINTER
The following eloquent extract is taken
from a discourse lately delivered by the
i.ev. r: A Chapin to his congregation in
New York:
at is not the ruined merchant, merely
1T is not the spectacle Of deprecated pro-
pcrtv and lost credit, and the manifold dis
comforts Of usual bankrup,cy--that most
make us shuddcr and sad. Around the
gloomy shadow there is still darker rim.
Away down below the platform Of fnan-
cial transactions there looms sea Of facts
--thcsc facts Of workingmen and working
women, looking up among the stopped
! machinery Of the factories. and the silence
Of the ship-yards, and all the desoations of
suspended labor, looking up to the shadows
OF IN awful winter over'astine them. Men
and hrethcrn, what shall we do for those
whose hard earned dollars are not mere
y honor and credit, but bread and blood

that, as soon they would be brought in, the

A DREAFUL SpEcrAcLE.-It will be re-
mernbered that Russian line fbattle ship
Lefort, lately capszed at noonday in the
bay of Finland. carrying down twelve hun
dred persons of whom nearly four hundred
were females. ~ diver late y descended 10
the wreck. and referring to this writer in
the London Times, from St. Petersburg
says:
Such persons as were on deck at the time
were OF course at once washed away. but
the divers found no less than l 100 corpses
in the cabins between decks, and in the
hold Of The vessel, all clinging to some por.
ton Of the timbers Of the ship, or to each
other. The horror Of this fearful sight ap.
pears to have been aggravated by the cir
cumstance that the bodies were already far
gone in decomposition, and with Il few ex-
ceplions, the eyes were wide open and glar-
ing. Tie effect of this dreadful spectacle on
tho divers was such that one OF them was
totally unable for many days to recount the
ghastly scenes he had witnessed down in
that hive Of putrefying corpses, and on his
persistent refusal to repeat his visit there
was sent home.
