To correct this, in all cases in which persons
applying are not receiving aid, either public or
private, the third paragraph Of the application
signed by the proposed beneficiary, which de-
clares the inability in the second line, should
be changed by striking out the words am"

In Connection with the foundaring al
sea of the Evening Star, on her way from
New York to New Orleans, there are
soms interesting facts to be told. The
vessel is said 10 have bgen utterly un-
| seaworthy so mnch so that Sc was mol
insured-perhaps not insurable. This is
damaging circumstance for the Com
pany owning her, and permitting her 10
go TO sea full of passengers.
Among her passengers were more than
hundred unfortunate women of the fash
persuasion, who were on their way to
spend the winter in the employment of
PROGRESSES from New Orleans. They
included representatives. from nearly all
the FIRST class houses of that kind in New
York. They all went down. Many Of
them were respectfully connected. A
city banker, on learning that his way
ward daughter was among t@s lost. clap.
ped his hands in sorrowful gratitude, and
exclaimed THANK God, my daughter,
the pride of my heart is beyond this
worlds shame.i,
Also, included in this flock Of frail
fair ones, were two highly accomplished
young ladies, one the daughter Of min
ister of The gospel in Western Pennsyl.
vania. aud the other the daughter of
clergyman of this city. The families of
several New York merchants we're also
Represented among these beautiful fe-
male ruins. Indeed. am told that there
was hardly one Of these fallen women
who could not point TO highly respectable
connections in this and other cities
Charity must now be thrown over them;
but how sad the thought that a single
burial case should have taken down into
'.that deep which nothing disembogues,"
so much of sin and wickedness, as the
Evening Star contained. Few single in
terments have included a hundred har.
lots, an opetatic troupe, and a circus
troupe. Il is only fair to state that this
line Of steamers has enjoyed the dubious
reputation of being the only one which
would engage its births for the lranspor-
ia;fon of such rough characters as CON-
posed this unfOrlupale cargo of iniquily.

Prayer.


To the Editor Of the Press
1 love to hear fervent prayer Everybody
does. Such prayer is effectual. But if not
fervent it is not effectual. Now, what is the
character of prayers at our religious confer
ences? Are they fervent? Sometimes, but
not always. Often, indeed, they are other
wise-long and prosy, and almost unendura-
BILE. So far from edifying, they annoy and
vex. In fact, I think they are the occasion, If
not the cause, of no little sin. Not blessing
do they draw from heaven, while many a
curse, if not spoken, is felt. They are literal
bores-perhaps it were not improper to say,
they are nuisances. which should be speedily
and effectually abated. If one lacks the gift
he should not volunteer prayer. If called
upon, let him respond, and in part make up in
brevity what is wanting in unctioA. Other
wise he imposes upon an audience.
These hints, if not calculated for any par
ticular meridian, may yet answer for whatever
attitude. Whoever has the gift will generally
seem short in prayer if long. Whoever lacks
the gift will seem long if short. Let him,
then, be shorter, and all the people viii say

Capital Punishment in Belgium.

A strong effort has lately been made in Bel
GUM to induce the government to abolish the
penalty OF death. For many years past the
feeling in that country in relation to this
question has been undergoing change. The
public sentiment has been so averse to cap
ital executions that they have been but rarely
inflicted. Associations have been formed, and
meetings held in which this great social prob
lem has been freely discussed, and the press
has pronounced with one voice against the
scaffold. It would seem, however, that the
sentiment in the Legislative Chambers is less
liberal and advanced than that which prevails
50 universally among the people. A move
ment to abolish the death penalty introduced
into the Chambers on the initiative of NJ,
Bara, the Minister of Justice, was defeated in
the Senate by a vote of 33 to Is. ll,tr rlat .
