The Union Prayer Meetings bel at the
First Presbyterian Church, Columbus, are
of deep interest. In noticing a recent
meeting the Journal says:
During the exercises of The meeting
Hon. T. H. Ford, Ex-Lieut. Governor,
made brief but exceedingly appropriate
and effective address. He remarked, in
substance, that for long years the world
had beer his master; for it be had lived
to it be had given his strength and heart
But now be bad chosen another and better
master, the Lord Jesus Christ He spoke
with humility Of his unworthiness, and as
cribed bis hope of salvation wholly to the
grace of God. He said that when first be
Welded his heart to Christ, be felt inclined
to keep the matter to himself aBd the cir
Gle of his most intimate friends. But soon
bis conversion was published in the papers
and he then felt that he had notice served
upon him, that not only Gods eye, but
the eyes of the world were upon him: that
it would be his duty in all bis ways to ex-
emplify the power and blessedness Of the
religion of the gospel. He was determin-
ed henceforth to bear testimony for Christ
and live for his glory,
Mr.. FoFd's manner was earnest, but sab.
dued and humble; and the tears of hun
dreds attested the sympathy Of their hearts
with the sentiments Of thespeaker.

The Pyramid Of BayOnsts.

The officers, as well as the sub-oficefs Of
the Russian hOrse-guards, are subjected to
the most rigorous discipline, are required
te execute on horseback all the manoeu.
yres Of theatrical equestrian.
One day an officer Of the lancer guard
was going through this exercise before the
Grand Duke. He had performed all bis
eVolutions in the most satisfactory way, un.
Ill, when at full gallOp, be was suddenly
ordered 10 tun-his horse proved resliVe,
and refused to obey either bride or spur.
The command was repeated in thun-
dering voice, and the officer renewed bis
efforts to make the hOrse obey it, but with
out effect, for the fiery animal continued
to prance about in defiance Of his rider,
who was nevertheless an excellent and ex.
perieueed horseman.
The rage of the Grand Duke had vent
ed itself 10 furious Impressions, and all
trembled for the consequences. Halt he
exclaimed, and ordered pyramid oftwelve
muskets with fixed bayonets to be erected.
The order was instantly obeyed.
The officer who had by this time sub.
dued the restlveness Of bis horse, was or
dered to leap the pyramid and the spir-
tied animal bore bis rider safely over it.
Without an interval of delay, the officer
was commanded to repeat the fearful leap,
and to the Amusement of all present. the
noble horse and rider stood in safety on
the other side Of the pyramid.
The Grand Duke, exaspersted at find,
ing himselfthus thwarted in his barberous
purpose, repeated the order third time
A General. who happened, to be present,
now stepped forward and interceded for
the pardon Of the officer, observed that the
horse was now exhausted, and that the en-.
forcenent ofthe order would be to doom
both Che horse and the rider TO terrible
death.
This humble remonstrance was not only
disregarded, but was punished with the
immediate arrest Of the General who had
thus presumed to rebel.
The word OF command was given and
the rider fof the third time cleared the
glittering bayonets.
Rendered furious by these repeated dis.
appointments, the Grand Duke for the
fourth time exclaimed, to the left about.
Forward Tho command was obeyed,
and for the fourth time, the horse leaped
the pyramid, and then, with his rider,
dropped down exhausted.
The officer extricated himself from the
saddle ard rose unhurt, but the horse had
both his fore legs broken.
A dead silence prevailed as he advan-
ced to the Grand Duke, and laying bis
sword at his feet thanked him in a
fdtering voice for the honor he had enjoy
ed in the Emporor's service.
Il take your sword said the Grant
Duke, gloomily, and are you not aware Of
what may be the consequences Of this un-
dutiful conduct towards me?'
The officer was sent to the guard house.
He subsequently disappeared; and no
trace of him could be discovered.
The scene took place at st Petersburg,
and the facts are proved by the evidence
Of eye. witnesses.
