Praying fer a Husband.

A young lady in Norristown heard that
.if she would 60 out and pray three con-
secutive nights, the Lord would tell her
who she would marry. Now it happened
that her father had young man in his
employ who had considerable wit and
good humor about him. One evening he
was out in an, apple tree after fruit, when
he heard some one praying something
like this:
20, Lord, who may | marry2'
The idea popped into Doyles head
Chat being the young mans name) that
he would have little sport at her ex-
pense. SO he spoke in changed voice
and said, Doyle"
!" No, Lord, not Doyle" cried the as
tonished young lady.
"Yes, Doyle, or no one, again sound
ed from the tree top in sober, hollow
voice.
She aross and entered the house, re-
solved to try again the next evening.
Of course Doyle aid not wish to spoil
the fun, and so next evening found him
seated in the tree top. He did not have
to wait long before the young husband
seeker came and commenced praying in
the same way that she did on the pre-
ceding evening, and received the same
answer. The next evening also found
her under the tree pleading to know her
future husbands name, and again she
heard the answer:
Doyle, or no one" t
She arose, feeling satisfied that she
must marry Doyle. The next morning
she met him and asked why he did not
put on better clothes2
He said that he was not able.
swell" said she, father is rich, and
he will let you have the money"
He took that for pretty good hint
and bought new suit of clothes. In a
short time he offered his hand and heart
and was accepted.
After her marriage he told her how
her prayers were answered.
If any of the fair readers of this story
should think of praying for husband
do not get under tres. or, if you do, be
sure and examine it closely and see il
there is any one to answer to it.

that was mortal. She prayed her
relatives not to mourn for her, as He
who said, "Sufler little children to
come unto me-" waited near by to
bear her soul TO "an house not made
with hands" Little Cora was the
of all who knew her-loved
%all-every one loved her.
"She anne the child OF many a prayer,
Like precious, peerless gem,
And she glowed a while Ike a ruby rare,
In a regal diadcm;

him IN his misery. But, thank God,
their villainous schemes have been
~thwarted, and n sufficient number Of
black men, united with the white
voters Of the State, have told them
the fimsy veil which covered the
enormiiy Of their proposed crimes,
has been rent Asunder. and their
hideousness exposed In all its de-

The figures indicate that the So
called Constitution has been defeated
by at least $4,000 majority, aud that
