Prayer--An Incident.

For fourteen years father and
mother prayed for a wayward
boy. During this period they
many times fixed a date inside of
which they expected his conver-
SION. One after another of these
times passed by, until fourteen
years had gone. The father was
going out one morning when the
good wife laid her hand upon his
arm and said, ''Father, have you
forgotten prayers?'' "No," was
the husky reply, 81 haven't for
gotten; but it's no use, God does
not hear u.s." The wife's eyes
were full of tears "Well, let
us pray that God Will make us
more earnest, and then, perhaps,
he will answer our prayer" He
went out to the barn, and then
his wife's words, his overburdened
heart and the habit of years led
him to fall upon his knees and
pray for more earnestness, and
to again beseech God to convert
his boy. His boy heard the
prayer, and wishing to get away,
so that he might not hear more,
went to the house. Going past
his mothers room he heard her
voice raised in prayer for more
earnestness. He paused, and
then went in and kneeling down
by her and putting his arms
around her neck, said, ':Mother.
God knows you are in earnest,
and he has answered your pray
ers." ."-Christian AdvOcate.

Earnest Faith.

A sea captain related at a pray
er meeting in Boston a short time
ago a thrilling incident in his own
experience. "a few years ago."
said he, ~ was sailing by the is
land of Cuba, when the cry ran
through tee ship, Man overboardr
1t was impossible to put up the
helm of the ship, but l instantly
seized a rope and threw it over
the ships stern, crying out to the
man to seize it as for his life.
The sailor caught the rope just as
the ship was passing. l immedi-
ately took anotherrope, and max
ing slip moose of it, attached it
to the other, and slid it down to
the struggling sailor, and direct
ed him to pass it over his shoul-
ders and under his arms, and he
would be drawn on board. He
was rescued; but he had grasped
thatrope with such firmness, with
such death-g grip, that it took
hours before his hold relaxed, and
his hand could be separated from
it. With such eagerness, indeed,
he had clutched the object that
was to save him, that the strands
Of the rope became embedded in
the flesh ofhis hands2"
And so it seems as if God had
let down from heaven a rope to
every sinner on the earth, that
every strand was a precious prom
ise, and that we ought to be so
intensely eager to secure these
promises, as to lay hold ON them
as if for our lives, and suffer nei-
ther the powers of earth nor hell
to shake our confidence or disturb
our hope'-Christian Treasury.

Oyster Pie.

Take a deep pan and line it
with pie crust, or puff paste put
it in the oven to bake when
done, fill the pan with oysters
that have been washed nicely ;
put in pepper, salt, and half cup
of butter: dredge -four over them
and cover with paste rolled
thick; when the top crust is done
the pie is ready for the table.

Domestic Hints.

Stale bread and biscuit can
be made to taste almost as fresh
as new, by dipping in warm wa
ter and heating for a short time
in an oven.
If loaf of cake has become
rather too stale for the table,
moisten it a little, and then heat
it through in the oven.
In preparing starch, either
boiled or cold, add a little fine
salt. 1t imparts a brilliancy to
the linen, and prevents the flat
iron from sticking while ironing.
Woolen articles should be
washed in very hot suds and
then rinsed in hot water. Cold
or lukewarm water cause them
to shrink.
New iron ware should be grad
ually heated at first, OF other
wise it is apt to crack.
All cooking utensils of brass
should be cleaned with salt and
vinegar, before using.
Knives and forks of steel should
be wrapped in strong brown pa
per, as cloths injure them when
they lie in them a long time.
A careful saving of all bits of
cloth and asserting of white and
colored pieces to be sold for a
few cents pound, is an econo-
my which all housekeepers should
attend to.
An unwholesome odor can be
removed from a room by burn
ing sugar or ground coffee.
An effectual method of remov-
ing onion scents from the breath
is to eat little fresh parsley, or
orris root.
To remove lime which gathers
In tea kettles, fill the kettle with
water,put in one fourth of a pound
OF Spanish whiting, and boil I'M
till the lime is removed.

TEACH Us TO WAIT.
BY PHGBE CARY.

Why are we so impatient Of delay,
Longing forever for the time to be?
For thus we live tomorrow in to-day.
Yea, sad to-morrows we may never see.
We are too hasty: are NOT reconciled
To let kind nature do her work alone;
We plant our seed, and like foolish child
We dig it up TO see if it has grown.
The good that is to be we eovet now.
We cannot wait for the appointed hour:
Before the fruit is ripe, weshake the bough,
Andseize the but that folds away the flower.
When midnight darkness reigns we do not see
That the sad night is mother Of the morn;
We cannot think our own sharp agony,
May be the birth-pang Of a joy unborn.
Into the dust we see our idols cast.
And cry, that death has triumphed, life Is
void.
We do not trust the promise, that the last
OF all our enemies shall be destroyed,
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints,
And heart and flesh grow weary at the last
Our feet would walk the city of the saints.
Even before the silent gate is passed.
Teach US to wait until thou shalt appear
Toknow that all thy ways and times are
just;
Thou seest that we do believe. and fear.
Lord, make us also to believe and trust:

To Clean Lamp Chimneys.

Most people in cleaning lamp
chimneys, either use a brush
made of bristles twisted into
wires, or a rag on the point Of
scissors. Both of these are bad
for without great care, the wire,
or scissors will scratch the glass
as diamond does, which, under
the expansive power of heat, soon
breaks, as all scratched glass will
If you want a neat little thing
that costs nothing, and will save
halfyour glass, tie piece Of soft
sponge the size of your chimney

fo Scrofulous affections and
HzzzxA disorders which were az
z5zSps121ISSszz| gravated by the scrofil-
-41..-sR4=- lous contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers In almost every sec
ton of the country, that the public scarcely need
to be informed of its virtues or uses.
ScrofnlOus poison is one of the most destruc-
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfet tenant of the organism undermines the con-
stitution and invites the attack of enfeebng IA
tai diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
OCCASION rapidly develop into one or other OF its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
yitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by erupnons
on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part Of
the body. Hence the occasional use Of a bottle
of this SdrsapdriUa is advisable, even when no
active symptoms of disease appear. Persons af-
1icted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief and at length, cure, by the
use Of this S4RS4PIRILL4: st. ARfho-
ay's Fire, Rose or Erysipefds, letter, Sott
flRcun. ScutU ffeuU, htHGtcofut, SOFc Eyes
Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms

cealed forms, as Dyspepsia, DTopsy, Heart
Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and
the various UlcerouS affections OF the muscular
and nervous systems
Syphilis or Teneredl and Mercttr'idI Dis
eases are cured by it, though long time Is re-
quired for subduing these obstinate maladies by
any medicine. But long-contnued use OF THIS
medicine will cure the complaint. Leneorrhea
or Whites, Uterine UicerdtioRs, and Female
Diseases, are commonly soon relieved and ult-
mately cured by its purifying and mvigoratng
effect. Minute directions for each case are found
in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumoftsm

NEW YoRK, August /
The correspondent of The Tribune
writes (by cable) from Saarbrucken,
Thursday, that company Of infantry
and a squadron Of Ulaners entered
the town that morning. About so of
the infantry have gone ont to recon-
noiter.
The report that 30 or 40 Prussian in
fantry from Saarlouis had discounted
squadron of cavalry and 3 companies of
infantry is confirmed. Owners of the
mill near Ludeiner, where the skirmish
took place, came into town this morn
ing, with intelligence that 6 pieces of
French artillery had appeared on top of
the neighboring hill This is the first
artillery that has been seen.
Prince Frederick Charles is expected
Mt Crenzenach.
From the top of the hill behind Saar-
brucken, where our pickets are, we hear
the French bands playing, and they
shoot at any of us who walk along the
Forbaeh road half mile out of town.
One has to look out.
If the shooting of the last few days is
any indication of the general character
of French and Prussian shooting, we
tABttt ~ hCoA tbut tht Lithtn, Will
plenty of time to arm, will make very
fair shooting at surprisingly great dis
tance. But in sharp shooting they are
very wild. The Prussians, on the other
hand, will not run and attempt shooting
at long range, unsuited to their arms.
AT 500 yards they are steady and certain
marksmen.
The artillery firing of the French to-
day was very good.
The same correspondent, writing
Friday. says large French forces are
said to be getting Immediately behind the
hills; but reporters say they have moth
ing 10 lear, as appearances confirm the
report that they are half starved and
woebegone.
Some infantry entered Prussian terri
tory this morning, to dig up potatoes.
They were driven off without any pota-
toes, and with the loss of 2 men. Pota-
to digging is attempted at intervals all
along the frontier.
The common belief now as to the plan
of the campaign is that the French army
will form at a point from Saarbrucken
southwark, one division TO advance on
Strasburg another ON Nancy, and third
to march on Metz.
The French can hardly have been ac-
quainted with the weakness of our forces
