GENERAL MARKETS.

We give as follows a summary of the

that there as fixed, pre-established order
of things with which nothing can interfere,
still, prayer itself, and the answer to it,
will be, upon this superstition part of this
fixed order itself. If we look abroad into
the universe of God, we meet everywhere
with the existence of general laws. Those
general laws were part of the arrangements
made for the government of the world from
| the beginning-even from everlasting.
Looking at those general laws, see that
| they are not mere mechanical contrivances.
| see the physical is made subordinate to
! the moral, and that these general laws have
a marked moral character, indicating most
| clearly that something besides the mechan-
ical regularity ofthe world has entered into
the mind of its creator.
Now, We may get some idea from this Of
| the way in which God answers prayer.
There are spiritual purposes to be realized
in the government of God as well as moral
ones. 1t is intended that man should be
holy as well as moral. 1t is the will of
| God that he should not only be Just and
| upright and faithful in the sight of man,
| but that he should also be devout, loving,
| obedient TO Him. And when | see how
| those general laws of a moral nature are
made to serve the moral purposes of Gods
moral government, 1 have little difficulty
in seeing how spiritual laws of a general
character are made to serve the spiritual
purposes of the Divine government. When
| enter within the precincts of law, and
walk in harmony with Gods will
about truth, honesty and integrity,
| | know there is no peradventure
about the results of that established law;
it is all fixed-immutably fixed-in the pre-
ordained constitution of the world. So al
so when l enter within the precincts OF
other and more spiritual laws-whenI bow
| NV knee to the God and Father of our
| Lord Jesus, etc.-when to the source of my
intelligence render back my intelligent
homage-when to Him in whom L live and
move, and have my being, l express my
| filial dependence and my devout thanks
| giving-when to Him against whom have
| revOlted, acknowledge my sins, and seek
| His pardon-when do this am walking in
harmony with spiritual law. have come
within the verge of Divine agency.
stand within the precincts of Gods own
fixed will, and because He has already an
ticipated the prayer of His faithful people
| may rely on the answer TO prayer as q
consequence of the natural course Of events
This solution is more general and com.
prehensive than any Of the former, and ha:
obtained the sanction of the highest name:
in science and theology. 1t furnishes {
conclusive reply to the oft repeated Deisti
cal objections to which 1 have elsewhere
adverted.
If God change not, and governs all thing.
by fixed laws, why pray al all, since you
prayer cannot alter the established course
of things? In view of the principles al
ready enunciated, it is sufficient to reply

CHARITY HOSPITAL sTUDENTs---A NEW
RULE.

In accordance with a previously de-
clared purpose, the board Of administra-
tors OF the Charity Hospital has estab-
llshed a rule Of competitive examination
for applicants for admission as resident
students OF the Charity Hospital. The prac-
tlce OF admitting young students of medi-
cine into the wards Of the hospital to
learn something Of tie practice of medi-
cine and surgery is no doubt an excellent
one, resulting in benefit both to the in
stltu:ion and the young gentlemen. Yet
the propriety Of demanding some sort of
an investigation into the merits of the
young gentlemen is so obvious that we
wonder it has not before been resorted to.
Even free services and talent may be
closely scanned and the best selected,
when there is such an abundance Offering
as to prodace competition. Our Charity
Hospital IS IN very many respects one of
the best managed institutions in the State,
and We believe the new regulation will
add to its already high reputation.

| The members Of the board Of control OF
the Louisiana Agricultural and Mechan-

Governors Office, for the purpose of Or
ganization, this evening. We learn from
Superintendent Brown that it is intended
to begin work under the law at once.
The building On the corner Of Common
and Baronne streets has been offered bv
the State for the temporary location,
where it IS expected beginning will be
made. Under the law such location must
be TEN porary, as the permanent site is to
be IN one CT the country parishes. As our
readers are aware, the REPUBLICAN urged
the propiiety Of separating the institution
by leaving the mechanical school in the
city and taking the agricultural into the
country. But the funds will hardly Justify
such division; the expense of keeping up
two establishments would be much greater
than one, even with the dual functions in
posed upon it by law. It will be the duty
Of the beard CT control, which, by the
way, we regard very excellent one, to

may be established by it.
