earnestly besought the Devine Giver Of

having concluded, the congregation was
dismissed, and then came the Scram-
Bile for umbrellas. One lady who had no
umbrella with her commenced to gather
the skirts of her gown over her head be-

We need not enter upon the pres

showers, accompanied by thunder
and lightning, occur only (or princi-
pally) in tropical regions; or in tenn
perate countries in warm seasons.
The fact that they do will not be
disputed. These showers afford the
opportunity for the discharge of the

Whatever the explanation may be,
the fact remains that in places where

therefore conclude, in the language
Of the proposition already laid down,

The First Prayer in1Congress'

In Watcher's Military Journal, un-

a note containing the Identical ''frst
prayer in Congress made by the Rev
Jacob Duche, a gentleman of great ell
oquence. Here it is-an historical
curiosity.
go, Lord, our Heavenly Father,
high and mighty King of kings, and
Lord of lords, who dost from Thy
throne behold all the jewellers of the
earth, and reignest with power SUI
preme and uncontrolled over all the
Kingdoms, Empires, aud Govern
ments ]! look down in mercy, we be-
seech Thee, on these American States
who have fled to Thee from the
rod of the oppressor. and thrown
themselves on Thy gracious protec-
ton desiring to be henceforth Deepen
dent only on Thee. TO Thee they
have appealed for the righteousness
of their cause; to Thee do they now
look up for that countenance and sup
port which Thou alone canst give.
Take them, therefore, Heavenly
Father, under Thy nurturing care.
Give them wisdom in council and val
or in the field. Defeat the malicious
designs of our adversaries; convince
them of the unrighteousness of their
cause, and if they still persist in SAN
culinary purposes, oh let the voice
of Thine own unerriug justice, sound
ing in their hearts, constrain them
to drop the weapons of war from
their unnerved hands in the day of
battle. Be Thou present, Q, God
of wisdom, and direct the counsels of
this honorable assembly. Enable
them to settle things on the best and
surest foundation, that the scenes of
blood may be speedily closed and Or
der harmony, and peace may be efec-
tually restored, and truth and justice,
religion and piety prevail and flourish
amongst Thy people. Preserve the
health of their bodies and the vigor
Of their minds; shower down upon
them and the millions they here rep
resent such temporal blessings as
Thou seest expedient for them in
this world, and crown them with ev-
erlasting glory in the world to come.
All this we ask, in the name, and
through the merits of Jesus Christ,
Thy Son, our Saviour. Amen!"

A Great Salt Mountain.

In the Pahranagat district, in the
southeastern part of the State of Ne
ada--distant from Austin estimated
at 100 miles-is remarkable noun
tain of salt, about 20 miles south
of the mines. 1t is reported to be
about five miles in length, and 600
feet in height. The body of salt is
Of unknown depth. It is chemically
pure and crystalline, and does not
deliquesce on exposure to the atmos-
phere. Like rock, it requires blast
ing from the mine and is as transpa-
rent as glass. This would afford
an abundant supply to the world,
could it be cheaply mined and tran
sported; but it now stands in the
wilderness, an object for the admira-
ton of the curious, and the inspec-
ton of the scientific. It is believed
that there is but one other place on
the globe tn which it exists in such
a state Of purity, in workable guam
titles and that is Cracow, Poland.
This is but another evidence Of
the state Of purity in which the force
of nature has left her deposits in this
interesting portion of the continent.
