Ot1nl unIc4JEQ,
The Week of Prayer.

The Union Prayer Meeting held in
Marble Hall. yesterday morning, was
better attended than on Monday, vet
protesting Christians in the city, and
that this is the annual week of prayer,
the attendance was very small. The
general absence of our business men,
who are Christians, was and is a sub
ject.of great regret. 1t is a great mis-
take for business men to think that
their business interests would suffer
by turning aside for an hour to
recognize Gods blessings past, and
by prayer seek his gracious favor and
the general and special interests of
our Zion. There are few less prof.
table transactions than that of cheat
ing God" We believe that no bet
ter investment could be made by our
business men than to shut up their
places of business from the hours of
II A. NJ. to II NJ. during the remain
der of this week of prayer, and with
their employees attend the morn
ing prayer meetings. God delights to
honor those who honor Him. A
general waking up of the
lay element OF the churches
is greatly to be desired. 1t is to be
feared that there is a growing dispo-
sition on the part of great majority
of the followers (O of Christ, to fol-
low and worship him by proxy, i. e.,
leav ng all these matters to be at
tended to by the Pastors. There was
once a pious old Christian woman
whose husband was nominally mem
Der of the church, who, to his good
wife's weekly invitation to accom-
pany her to the prayer meeting.
would reply always: Nay, wife, |
have not time; do you go and pray
for thee and me-" This continued
for many years, until one evening the
brethren were astonished to see the
delinquent Christian at prayer meet
ing, and were not little admon-
ished by statement he made con-
corning a strange dream he had the
night before. Said he, " La my dream
thought wife and | died, and went
together to the New Jerusalem At
the gate we were met bv the Saviour,
who took wife by the hand. and ad-
hitting her, said: Well done, good
and faithful servant, enter into the
joys of thy Lord but, when | essayed
to go in, also, the King stopped me
saying: As thy good wife was lett to
pray for herself and thee, so shall she
go into Heaven for herself and thee
Doubtless you have not time to praise
me in Heaven, since thou hadst 10
time to serve me on earth Who

expressly for the Evansville House and
tue purchase of such goods as we 90 not

ments TO our trade, both as regards prices

OUT AGAIN.-The frail fair ones
were out again, yesterday, founcing
their silks and fne linens about on
the streets. The affair of Sunday
last, which was a disgrace to any city,
New York or Nashville not excepted,
it appeared had not yet been settled.
The social evil" in Evansville, has
put on a bold front. of late, and is
creating a great deal of comment.
What all the talk will result in, is
hard to guess.

A FLOOD FEARED.-The telegraph
brings the intelligence that the late
rains proved to be general, and at
the present stage of the water, and
the rate of its rising-about three feet
in the twenty-four hours ending at
six o'clock last evening-with the
water yet to come down the river,
fears are entertained that there will
be another great overflow Il would
be we'll for farmers on the low lands
along the river to hear this fact in
mind, and to govern themselves ac-
cordingly. A little preparation at the
right time may possibly save from loss
a great deal of property.

NEW METRoPoLITAN-There was
but slim attendance at the theatre,
last night probably owing to the in
clement Weather. Those who did at
tend were most assuredly well pleased.
Miss Fannie B. Price as Madeline, in
the drama Founding of Paris" gave
additional evidence of her talent as
an actress. Mr.. Golden, as Bertrand,
played his part we'll, as he most gen
orally does in any piece. The stock "
played better last night than usual.
The theatre will be closed tonight,
for the rehearsal Of the great sensa-
ton, " Under the Gaslight, which
will be presented on Thursday night,
with new scenery. 1t will, no doubt,
have a big run. Let the house be
crowded. Go early and secure seats.

vice and profted by it. Petty litiga-
