PRAYER.

There is a theory embraced by some per-
sons that is both foolish and dangerous. 1t
is, that it is useless to ask God for anything
that we may desire, because the purposes of
God are all fixed and Interchangeable. This
theory is inconsistent, and no man can put it
fully into practice. To carry it out in full
would require US to fold our arms and do
nothing. The sick man should use no means
that he might recover from his sickness; the
farmer should cease to plant and cultivate.
1t is the purpose Of God to feed all his crea-
lures therefore, in strict accordance with the
theory that it is of no use to pray,it is useless
for any one to plant any kind of seed, or
gather into their storehouses the, products Of
the soil. Any one can see what the practical
results of such theory would be if put into
operation. t..
The purposes of God are fixed and un.
changeable; but it is a part of his purpose
that his intelligent creatures be co.workers
with him. The means must be used, or God
will not bestow the blessing. The farmer
must work as if everything depended upon
his effort. Just so with regard to prayer ;
we must pray as if every blessing was. bes-
towed upon US on account of our asking. If
God does not grant us blessings because we
pray for them, it is strictly true that he does
not grant them if we do not ask for them.

POSTAGE STAMPs-How PREPARED.-As

POSTAGE STAMPs-How PREPARED-As
soon as they emerge from the hydraulic press,
postage stamps are gummed. The paste is
made from clear starch, or rather its dextrine,
which is acted upon chemically and then
boiled, forming clear, smooth, slightly sweet
mixture. Each sheet of stamps is taken sep
arately, placed upon fiat board, and its
edges covered with light metal Frame Then
the paste is smeared on with large white
wash brush, and the sheet is laid between two
wire racks and placed on a pile with others to
dry. Great care is taken in the manufacture
of this paste, which is perfectly harmless
This gratifying fact has been conclusively
proved by an analysis recently made by an
eminent chemist After the cumming, anoth-
er pressing in the hydraulic press follows.
Then more counting-in fact, stamps are
counted no less than thirteen times during
their processes of manufacture. The sheets
are then cut in half, each portion containing
one hundred stamps, this being done by girls
with ordinary hand shears. Next follows the
perforation, which is performed by machine
ry. The perforations are first made in a per-
pendicular line, and afterward in horizontal
line Another pressing follows-this time to
get rid of the raised edges on the back of the
stamps made by the dies, and this ends the
manufacture. A separate apartment is devo-
ted to packing and sending off the stamps to
the different post Offices. It will be seen by
this account that any absurd rumors concern
ing the poisonous or unclean properties of
postage stamps, are utterly without founda-
ton.

A New IDEA IN BUILD1Na.-Wire net
ting for plastering is being rapidly introduced
to take the place of laths. 1t takes less labor
to place on the walls, is more continuous, and
will not burn. Coarse netting, with one-inch
mesh, and made of strong wire, is found to
answer best. For ornamental cornice work it
is especially valuable, for it can be bent into
any desired form. Secured to iron studding
in brick building our greatest danger on &C.
count of fire would be removed. A still fur
ther application of this plan is to make round
bags Of wire resembling barrels, and to coat
them inside and out with cement. When it
hardens they resemble stone barrels. Filled
with sand and sunk in rows and masses, they
make excellent building material for break
waters. Another extension of the idea has
been tried with success in England. 1t con-
ssts in making iron framed buildings, cover
ing them with wire netting, and spreading
concrete on both sides. 1t is claimed that
house-walls, floors, roofs, doors, partitions
and all-has been built. that is strong, firm,
and absolutely incombustible. Various ap.
plications Of the use of wire netting, and plas-
ter or cement, readily suggest themselves, and
the matter is worthy of the attention Of me-
chanics and builders.

MANY Cows, No M1LK.-With seven mil
lions Of cattle roaming over the plains, l have
not seen a glass of milk in Texas. There is
no more wholesome drink, in hot climate,
than buttermlk, but I have failed to get a
glass, either for love or money, although 1
have been prepared to offer either. The
"cream" tea and coffee is New York con-
densed slop, made of chalk and whitewash,
and the Old Boy only knows what. 1t is put
on the table hot, for fearsom miserably thirs-
ty sinner will make way with quart or two
under the impression that it is genuine milk
an impression, however, that is not apt to last
longer than the first swallow. This is pref
ty record for State with seven millions of
cattle. 1t is found to be easier to buy New
York condensed slop than to bring up the
COWS and milk them. Easeis the chief object
of life in Texas. The calves run with the
COWS and get all the milk, and nobody is at
any trouble. The Texans never kill the calves.
They are no lovers Of veal. The calf runs
with the mother tillsit is year old, when
another calf runs with her, and all get fat to-
gether. When the Texan needs money he
drives in lot of cattle and sells them-Letter

THE MISERIES OF PERDITION.

The place in which God will punish the
wicked is often so spoken Of in the Bible as to
make the impression on the mind of the mat
tentive reader that the suffering will be of a
corporal character. Perdtion is described as
lake that burns with fire and birthstone.
This language is, we suppose, fgurative.
The miseries of the wicked in eternity will
mainly be that all those evil habits sinful
lusts and passions, which they contracted
on earth, will exist in all their accumulated
and accumulating power, and there will
be nothing by which they can be graft
fled. Here on earth men grow wicked, but
the lusts of the flesh seldom become painful,
from the fact that they can be appeased. In
the other world, it will be far different There
will be lust in all its power, and no object by
which it can be satisfied. The wicked man
will continue to be living, thinking exis-
tence, continually craving things which are
hopelessly out of his reach. The drunkard
will crave the Intoxicating draught, and the
miser the gold; but there will be neither
strong drink nor gold in that dreadful place.

A WILD HUNTRESS.

The Wheeling Register Of the 29th ultimo,
tells the following story on the authority OF
Julius Messenger, of Windridge, Green coun-
ty, Pa, for whose veracity it vouches:
A man living near Windridge, Green coun'
ty, Pa, had born to him five children, four
girls and one boy. His name is Daniel Lew.
is. When quite young the boy and second
daughter, named Lucinda Lewis, developed
quite fondness for hunting, and were out
nearly all the time, roaming the woods IN
search of game: They seemed to delight IN
nothing so much as the free life of hunter,
and would be gone from home for weeks at a
time After some four or five years the boy
quit, and entered on the more industrious pur-
suits oflife, but the girl continued in the chase.
Drawing herself more and more from human
intercourse and restraint, she has become a
wild woman, fleeing from the approach OF her
kind with the speed of a deer:
During the early years of her solitary life
she used to approach her fathers house and
entice the dogs to follow her, teaching almost
any breed of dogs to become good hunters.
In the hope of bringing her back to her home
and to civilization, her brother followed her
and shot the dog she had taken away, using
every inducement to get her to 60 back with
him. But all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was twelve
years ofage, she has lived this wild life, Sleep
ing in the centres of straw stacks during the
night, and hiding in them during the sum-
mer the wild and cultivated fruits she intends
for winters store of provisions. She is now
thirty years old, and is as wild as the untamed
denizens of the forest.
Mr. Messenger says he at one time, while
out hunting, met her in the woods. Her long
black hair covering her face and eyes, was
matted with burs and leaves, and her black
flashing eyes made her startling picture.
She remained nerfectly still until he got with.
