No COMPLIMENT IN PRAYER.-We
have heard some prayers which were de-
signed to affect the hearer, rather than
to reach heaven The following charac-
teristic anecdote of John Randolph is q
keen rebuke Of the practice:
In one Of his spells of repentance and
sickness, he was visited by minister,
who, at his request, prayed for and with
him The minister began in this wise:
Lord, our friend is sick. Thou know
est how generous he was to the poor;
and what eminent services he has render.
ed to the country, and how he is among
the honored and great men of the
earth"
"Stop, STOP" said the impatient Ran
dolph, "no more of such stuff, else the
Lord will damn US both"

Not long since, a popular clergyman
said that any man who offered patent
medicine for sale, prefxing "Rev." to his
name, might as we'll write after it the
word "knave" This is rather strong
language, yet there is certainly a fraud in
the attempt to impose upon the ignorant
by making the title of minister of
the gospel bolster up the pretensions ola
onack The fact that q man belongs to
one profession is at least prtma tacte
evidence that he has no special skill in
another

Judge Greenwood, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, has enclosed to the Secretary of the
Interior letter from Mr.. Robinson, Super
intendent of Indians. giving information OF
the murder of the Rev. Morris Brangnier,
"a missionary to the Crow Indians, by par
ty Of Oncpapa Sioux. They excuse the atroc.
ity upon the pretense that Gen. Harney had
given them the authority to kill any white
n man whom they should find settled in their
country; but the murder was committed in
the Crow country, and not in that of the ST.
oux. Moreover, Gen. Harney's talk with
them in 1856 referred to the apprehension OF
United States deserters, and not to the xiii
