A Good Prayer.

On the morning of Fast day, September
26, the editor of the Chicago Post suggested
to clergymen of that city the following
PRAYER for the occasion to the Throne oil
Grace: ...
I'VE pray Thee to incline the hearts of
all quartermasters and Government COM
tractors to the way of Righteousness and
honesty. Open their eyes to their trans
gressions, and convince them that they are
great rascals. Show unto them the way of
truth, and set before their eyes the light of
the revised statutes. especially that section
which relates to the crime of larcenyss
Convict them of their iniquities, and, if
possible, sentence them to the Penitentiary.
CAS- for the generals 10 command of our
troops, we pray Thee to convince them that
good Judge of Otard and Bourbon sn't
always the best qualified to plan or to exc
cute a campaign. Give them more know
ledge and less cOnceit Teach them that
the parable of the sOwer was not promul-
gated with reference to military operations,
and that who so scattereth his soldiers
abroad, all over the State OF Missouri and
elsewhere, shall find that his labors will not
yield very abundantly in the harvest. And,
finally, open Thou their eyes to the fact that
the practice of setting traps for rebel armies,
baited with handful of men, while it may
be in accordance with trapper tactics in the
Rocky Mountains, does not always work
satisfactorily in other parts of the country"
The closing sentences in the above un-
mistakably refer to Fremont, and condemn
his practice OF batting Price, the rebe
General in Missouri, upon such a hook as
Lexington. ra r

The Great Eastern.

A passenger by the Persia relates the
following incidents connected with the dis
aster to the Great Eastern. On the 10th,
about eleven o'clock in the morning, the
Great Eastern was met two hundred and
twelve miles from Queenstown. She was
rolling very badly, and on approaching
nearer it was noticed that she had lost both
her paddle wheels, her boats, with the ex.
ception of two, and her rudder head. She
was steering for home with the aid of her
rudder chains.
Large ropes were stretched from bulwark
to bulwark for the passengers to cling to,
and the rolling was so fearful that one mo-
ment the great ship revealed the whole of
her decks at most distressing angle, and
the next the bilge was plainly visible. On
discovering the plight OF the vessel Captain
Judkins hOisted signal" Do you require
aid ?"-which was only replied to by large
board being displayed on the paddle box
but the characters thereon being so small
the writing could not be deciphered. The
Great Eastern still kept on her course,
working with her screw, and for twenty
minutes the Persia followed her in order to
get an answer to her signal. The passen-
gers of the Great Eastern were scattered
over the decks (there were reported to be
about four hundred on board of her,) all OF
whom seemed strainiDg anxiously forward
to catch view of the Persia. The ladies
waved their hankerchiefs, the men their
hats, and, Notwithstanding the extraordi-
nary roll of the vessel, the utmost enthu-
siasm seemed to be manifested by her pas-
sengers.
Up to this time, no answer had been given
to the signal of the Persia, and as she
dipped her ensign and turned her Roadway,
another board written on was elevated from
the paddle box of the Great Eastern, with
no better result. Even with the aid of the
glasses of the officers the characters could
not be distinguished. During this time the
Great Eastern had not sackened her pace,
and when the Persia got some distance from
her she hoisted the signal "Come within
hail ;" but as Captain Judkins justly said
he had followed her for half an hour, asked
her if she required aid, and receiving no
reply in the usual manner, he could lose no
further time by again putting back. 1t
was matter of wonder on board of the
Persia why this signal had not been given
before, as ample time afforded. After the
Persia left Liverpool on Saturday she met
with rough weather along the channel the
wind was blowing hard from the westward
and it is supposed that the Great Eastern
must have experienced tremendous gale to
have met with the disasters taat had over
taken her.

The Lengthening Shadows.

The shadows are lengthening eastward
now-the summer day will soon be gone.
And looking about on this beautiful world
l think of a poem by Bryant, in which be
tells US how, gazing on the sky and noun
tains, in June, he wished that when his time
should come the green turf of summer might
be broken to make bis grave. He could
not bear, be tells US, the idea of being borne
to lis resting place through sleety winds,
and covered with icy clods. Of course,
poets give US fanciful views, gained by look.
ing at one side of picture and DeQuincy
somewhere states the opposite opinion, that
death seems sadder in summer, because
there is feeling that in quitting this
world our friend is losing more. 1t
will not matter much, friendly reader,
to you and me, what kind of weather
there may be on the day Of our respective
funerals, though one would wish for pleas
ant, sunshiny time. And let US humby
trust that, when we go, we may find ad-
mission to place so beautiful that we shall
not miss the green fields and trees, the roses
and hOneysuckles OF June.
You may think, perhaps, of another rea~
son besides Bryants for preferring to die in
the summer time. You remember the
quaint old Scotch lady, dying on night of
rain and hurricane, who said, lin entire sim
plicity and nothing of irreverence), to the
circle of relations about her bed, Z" Eh, what
a fearfu' night for me to be fleein' through
the air!" And perhaps it is natural to
think it would be pleasant for the departing
spirit, passing away from human ken and
comfort, to mount upward, angel guided,
through the soft sunset air of June toward
the country where suns never set, and where
all the days are summer days. But all this
is no better than a wayward fancy it is
founded on forgetlulness of the nature of
the immaterial soul, to think that there
need be any heightened journey, or any
flight through skies, either stormy or calm.
You have not had the advantage, I dare
say, of being taught in your childhood the
catechism which is drilled into all children
in Scotland, and which sketches out with
admirable clearness and precision the ele-
ments of Christian belief. If you had you
would have been taught to repeat words
which put away all uncertainty as to the
immediate stale of departed spirits: "The
souls of believers are at their death made
perfect in holiness, and do Immediately pass
into glory" Yes, Immediately, there is to
the departed spirit no middle space at all
between earth and heaven.
The old lady need not have looked with
any apprehension to going out from the
warm chamber into the stormy winter
night, and flying far away, Not that but
millions of miles may intervene, not that
but the two worlds may be parted by still,
breathless ocean, fathomless abyss OF cold,
dead space, yet swift as ever light went,
flies the just mans spirit across the pro
found. One moment the sick room, the
scaffold, the stake; the next, the paradisal
glory. One moment the sob of parting

THE SIGN OF Poor MAN.-Tbe West
ern Virginia correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, who is up among the
mountains, speaks as follows OF the people !:
They are deplorabIy ignorant, without
the pleasant simplicity Of ordinary rus
ITCHY, and they are poor. Their little farms
are pastures and meadows, with patches of
corn, wheat and potatoes not much larger
than ten-pin alley. They export few
cattle, and considerable quantities of bees
wax and honey. Strange to say, the ex
panding enterprise of hooped skirts has not
yet affected their female vanity. Calico,
even, is rare. How can woman be happy
without calico :? and the women about
Cross Lanes and its neighborhood perspire
under cross>barred linsey woolsey, unassist-
ed by that voluptuous swell OF the skirts
which impart SO much grace to female ap-
parel. Every family is thronged with its
litter of tow heads, and, by the way, a
chatty little woman on the hill yonder, en-
lightened me by stating the curious physio
logical fact, that towhead young 'uns is
a sign Of poor man." l should think so
considering the number to the yard in these
