HELPLESS CONDITION OF LOLA Mon
TEA letterfrom New ork thus speaks
ol q celebrated female
Lola Montez Is stopping at Astoria with
q kind friend, but alas in what c3ndi-
ton OF body and mind She is not ex-
actly an imbcciIe, and yet what term viii
more clearly express her mental helpless
ness? Physically she Is an invalid OF
melancholy description. \ female friend
OF mine saw her a day or two ago, and it
was enough to make ones heart bleed to
note her picturesque Innings Of the Won
derfuIly changed woman. Lola was Gus
toned in half night and half morning
robe, and she sat in a pretty garden, her
hollow cheeks, sunkcn eyes, and cadaver-
Gus complexion forming u remarkable
contrast to the gay flowers. She was un-
able to utter an Ineligible word, except
spasmodically, and after repeated efforts.
Her mouth was frothing ike that Of one
in partial convulsions, and she was uncon-
consciously wiping it as little boys do, by
drawing it across the sleeve Of her dress.
In fact, she had the strange, wild appear
ance and behavior Of a quiet idiot, and IS
evidently lost to all further interest in
the world around her, and Its affairs And
so ends her oventful history What 4

''FatIler Never Prays.',

Mr.. T. is a wealthy man, and with
his wife and young family resides in one
Of our great cities. Mrs l.. few
years since became the subject Of divine
grace, and IS a humble and devoted follow
er Of her Saviour.
For long time her husbands heart 70.
mainej untouched. Morning and evening
the pious mother gathered herhttle house,
mold about her, and the incense acceptable
TO God, the sacrifice Of Christian hearts at
the family altar went up daily to his raer-
cy-seat. But the husband and father of
the family was never one of the happy
group. Like the man in the parable. he
would not come when bidden, but went to
his merchandise in the busy city.
How many Christian mothers among US
every day assemble their loved ones about
the family altar to ask for the divine Jles-
sing, and pardon for sins, and to give
| thanks. when he who should be the head
OF the family, even as Christ is the head
! OF the church, turns his back upon these
sacred duties
One morning when Mrs L was
gathering her little flock about her for
! prayers, Willie, the youngest, boy three
years old, steadily resisted the call, and
started to 60 down stairs with very man
ly strut, ''Come to prayers, Willie" said
the mother, gently "No, ma'am, don't
want to say my prayers. I am a gentle
man. Gentlemen never say their PRAYERS
[ am going to be gentleman, and SO I am
not going to say my prayers any more"
but gentlemen do say their prayers,
| Willie said the mother; "they pray to
Z +al~ =,
! Willie to be a good boy, that God may
love him; and you cannot be good boy if
you don't pray"
'Iather never prays, answered the lit
tie fellow; ''tather is a good boy, and faith
er never prays."
"Oh, little Willie, don't say So" said
the fearful mother; you do not know about
that; father does not meet with US night
and morning, but | trust he prays"
The little boy yielded, and the thought
full mother pondered the saying in her
heart, "Father never prays."
That evening, after the little ones had
prayed to the Lord, and laid them down to
sleep, Mr. la and his wife sat quietly
together, and the gentle wife told her
husband the story Of little Willie, and his
argument, 'Father never prays."
The strong man bowed his head, while
tears dropped upon his book. "a little
child shall lead them" The father was
conquered He acknowledged his sinful
example and the two knelt down togeth-
er and offered up their .trst united sacri-
t ice Of praise and prayer. From that
time Mr. L. was never absent from
the family altar. However pressed with
bushes, he made time to serve God. 1t
IS now most happy, pious family. We
pray that Gods blessing may ever rest
} upon them.
May it never be said Of any husband
p and father who reads this true account,
, Father never prays." Children are
: great observers, and ponder things in
their li,tle hearts. What a fearful re-
a sponsibiitv for father to bring up a
e young family with no love or lear of God
e in his own heart. Rather let all stand
F. forth in Gods service, knowing that theil
e prayers and their labors are not in vain
+ with the Lord.

PHILos0PIIY OF RAIN.-Io understand
the philosophy Of this beautiful and often
sublime phenomenon, so often witnessed
since the creation, and essential to the
very existence OF animals, derived from
observations must be remembered:
!. Were the atmosphere, everywhere at
all times. at uniform temperature, We
should never have rain, OF hail, OF snow.
The water absorbed by It in evaporation
from the eaa and the carth's surface,
would descend in an imperceptibie yupor,
OF cease 10 be absorbed by the ar when
once fully saturated.
:. The absorbing power Of The atmos-
phere, and consequently It's capabIlity to
retain the humidity, Is proportionately
greater in cold than warm air.
>. The air near the surface Of the earth
IS warmer than 1t Is in the region Of the
clouds. The higher we ascend from the
earth the colder do we find The atmos-
uhere. Hence the perpetual snow on the
yerv hirh mountains IN the hottest eli
mates. Now, when by continual eyapO-
ration the air IS heavily saturated with
yapor. though it be invisible and the SKY
cIoudIezs. IL its temperature be suddenly
reduced by cold currents Of air rushing
from above, or from 4 higher TO lower
latitude. its capacity TO retain moisture Is
diminished, clouds are formed, and the
result is rain. Air coudenses as it cools
and, like a sponge filed with water anc
| compressed, pours out the water which 1t:
diminished capacity cannot hold.
