The Italian papers have said very little con-
ceraing the recent terrible revolutionary out
break at Palermo, in Sicily, and even the Eng

gathered from their foreign correspondence
fewer details than they usually furnish in re-
gard to occurrences of so bloody and rcvolu-
tionary character.

EJACuLAroRY PRAYER.-The word eiaculatery
comes from a Latin word which means arrows
As the arrow darts from the bow towards the
sky, 70 tjaculatory prayer is the prayer which
darts up from the heart to God. 1t can be shot
up from the depths of the spirit at any time,
or in any place, slot up in silence. and yet &C.
cure the object sought. You have notable
example of this 10 the case OF the prophet Ne.
hemiah 10 the presence OF King Artsxerxes,
he prayed to the God of heaven. The prayer
was mental, but it was hearty ii was orally
unexpressed, but it was effectual. The Hear
er of prayer heard and answered He at once
communicated with the mind Of the king,
turned it in the direction the prophet desired,
and the testimony OF Nehemiah was hls testi-
mony to the power OF eIlculatory prayer 50
it pleased the king to send me. Adopt the
practice OF eiaculatory prayer. All aloOg the
course oi the day, and iu the midst Z. your
business, shoot the winged arrow OF prayer up
TO heaven. 1t will bring down blessings.

IMPORTANT TO BosDHoLDERs THE following
letter was addressed by Thaddeus Stevens to
John Guyer, Esq, OF Lancaster, in arswer to
note from him inquirng what effect the snc-
cess OF the Presidents policy would have upon
our National securities.
Dear Sir--ln answer 10 your inquiry; "what
effect the success OF the Presidents views will
have on the National Securities,n ! am Of the
opinion that its effect would be very injurious.
Ihe President contends tha, the body OF men
acting as II Congres0, has no Constitutional
powers, ard can do no valid acts in the absence
OF the Excluded States. The Congresses that
authorized the war debt and laid the internal
duties to pay it, were composed of precisely
the same number of Representatives, from the
same States as the present. If it should be
decided that those Congresses had no Consti-
tutional existence, then the 20's, lO-l0's,
1905, and the legal tender greeubacks will
have been issued without authority, and will
be worthless.
Whether they would even be redeemed would
depend on what the President would consider
a Constitutional Congress after the admission
OF the rebel representatives, when the condi.
ton OF the debts Of DO h the beligerents would
be considered. Yours truly,
THADDXUs STEVENS

k-----, the Quaker President of Penn
sylvanii railroad during the panic and confu-
sion last fall, called upon the " Bank
with which the road kept large regular ac-
count, and asked for an extension OF part of
lis paper falling due in few days The bank
President declined rather abruptly
'Mr. k-your paper must be paid at ma
tnrity, we cannot renew it,
Very yell, our Z iaker friend replied and
left tine bank
But he did not let the matter drop here. On
leaving the bank he went to the depot and
telegraphed to all the agents and conductors
on the road to reject the bills on the W
bank. In few hours the trains began to ar
rive, iull of the panic bringing the news OF the
W bank along the line. Stockholders
and depostors aocAed to the bank, quaking
with panic, inquiring thus whats the ms,-
ter 7 ls the bank broke p
iittle inquiry on the part OF the officers
showed that the trouble originated in the re-
lection OF the bills by the railroad agents. The
President seized his hat, and rushed down TO
the Quaker's Office, and CANE bursting in with
this inquiry:
'Mr. 4 have you directed the refusal
OF our currency by your agentsr
Yes was the quiet reply.
why is ths2 1t win ruin usp
'Well, friend L., supposed the Bank
was going to fail as it could not renew little
paper for us this morning.
1t is needless TO say that Mr.. L. renew
ed all the Quaker's paper, and enlarged his
line OF discount, while the magic wires carriou

SERMON IN SToNE.-The Princess Eliza
beth, daughter of Charles L., lies buried in
Newport Church, in the Isle Of Wight. mar
BILE monument, erected by the gracious Queen
Victoria, records in atouching way the manner
Of her death She languished in Garisbrool
Castle, during the unhappy Commonwealth
wars, prisoner alone, and separate from all
the companions other youth, until death set
her free She was found dead one day with
b er head leaning on her Bible, and the Bible
open at the words-"Come unto me all We that
labor asd are heav" laden, and will give Won
rest" The monument in Newport Church re-
cords this fact. 1t consists OF female figure
reclining her head on marble book, with the
text already quoted engraven on the book.
Think, reader, what a sermon in stcne that
monument prearhesl Think what a standing
memorial it affords ofthe utter inability of rank
and high birth to confer certain happinessl
Think what tes imony ii bears to the lesson
before you this day--the mighty lesson that
there is no true rest for any one excepting in
Christi Happy will it be for your soul il that
lesson is never torgottenl
