TUJ cJL

81 have prayed for thee "
Words the Lord Jesus.
l was reading of poor girl who taught
her young brother many a lesson, and heard
him many prayer. When he grew older
he grew wild, and went far away from home !;
and she who had prayed with him feared
he had given up praying. She loved him
well, and prayed for him every day. If he
had forgotten to pray for himself, she would
not forget to pray for him.
Reading this story, said to myself, in low
and thoughtful tone-when I haze for.
gotten to pray for myself, Jesus Christ, whO
Vas crucifed, has not forgotten to pray
for me.
But for His prayer who died for my sins,
my cries would have no answer of salvation.
He loved me, and became my Advocate with
the Father. I have received Him as my
Priest, and now my person and petitions are
accepted through His person, and Office, and
satisfaction whom the Father heareth always.
In His exaltation, now that He has come
into His kingdom, He is doing for me won
derful prieStly work.
His prayer-the offering up of His desire,
His appearing before God in my behalf
shall not end. Of His kingdom and of His
priesthood there shall be no end. He shall
continue forever my Surety, my Representa-
tive in the everlasting covenant, the An
swerer of all claims and charges against me.
He ever liveth to make intercession, and so
He saves me to the uttermOst.
There is no fault in Him, nor deficiency in
His intercession, nor need nor room for an.
other mediator. My perfect and peerless
One, He only, He alone can appear before
God in my behalf, to plead His own merits
aud render me acceptable; and assuredly my
history is written in the alternative of being
accepted in the Beloved, or of being unbe-
lieving, unpardoned, and rejected in my sin
1 am required to make no apology for cal
ling Him mine, since He has given Himself
to me in His glory and in His love. God
most high is the God of every one who is
near to Him by faith. When we believe, the
distance is gone. In Christ we become al
lied to all above, and God permits every one
who believeth, "to address Him by those
near personal pronOuns that so astonish us
by their boldness in the prayers of the Old
Testament saints, 0 God, my God, early will
1 seek Thee-O my soul, thou hast said unto
the Lord, thou art my Lord"

Special Providences.
BY ONE WHO is BLIND.
WERE THEY NOT SENT a?

WERE THEY NOT SENT
| went out alone in large city, particu
larly desiring to meet two persons residing
miles away, in different directions, and in
tending to search for one of them. l had
hardly gone more than square, when the
latter was at my side, and he had left me but
few moments when the other addressed me,
neither having any knowledge of my desire,
and each coming to me at the very best time
and place. And these were the only two
friends whom l met that day, having no use
for any other. Were they not sent by Him,
"Whose never-failing Providence ordereth
all things both in heaven and earth;" and
why should l fear to travel alone thousand
miles in the dark, as l often do, if He will
thus go with me mot only giving sight
to the blind, " and putting away all hurtful
things" but bringing to me those whom /
need Just when and where l need them.
Is this not better far than eyes and riches?

PASSING UNDER THE RoD.-It was the
custom of the Jews to select the tenth Of
their sheep after this manner: The lambs
were separated from the dams, and enclosed
in sheepcote, with only one narrow way
out; the dams were at the entrance. On
opening the gate, the lambs fastened to join
the dams and man placed at the entrance,
with rod dipped in paint, touched every
tenth lamb, and SO marked it with his rod,
saying, "Let this be holy" Hence saith
the Lord by the prophet, 81 will cause you
to pass under the rod" Ezek. Xxx: 81.

Conversion of an Infdel.

An interesting account of an infdels con-
version was recently given in the daily pray
er meeting in Chicago, Illinois. 1t is said
that the man, while on his way to take the
cars for the East, heard little Irish boy,
who was sitting on the door step singing:
"Therell be no more sorrow there,
There II be no more sorrow there"
"Where?" inquired the skeptic, whose
mind was more impressed by the words
"Where is it there'll be no more sorrow?'
The boy answered:

eyes, but where do all these ugly limbs
come from ?" said l.
"Just where all ugly things come from, I"
said he. I" am pretty much like you men.
Find out where my limbs come from, and
you will find where all human sins come
from"
"I'll take you at your word, sir"
So took out my knife and peeled off all
the bark. But the limbs and the knots were
left.
"You must 60 deeper than that, sir"
So began to split and take off layers of
wood after layer. But all the knots were
there.
"Deeper still" said the dry stick.
Then l split it all off and separated it, the
heart was laid bare; it looked like small
rod about six feet long, and perhaps an inch
through at the large ends. All and was
not surprised to see that every limb and knot
and gnarl started in the heart Every one
was there, and every one grew out of the
heart. The germ or the starting. g.point of
each one was the centre-of the heart.

" In heaven above,
Where all is love.
There'll be no more sorrow there

The infdel hastened on to take his seat in
the cars but the simple words of that hymn
or chorus had found lodgment in his mind.
He could not drive them from his thoughts.
They were fixed. A world where there is
no sorrow This was the great idea that
filed his minds5 He dwelt upon it-revolved
it over in his thoughts. 1t was the message
by the Spirit that led him to the Saviour,
who delivers the lost and ruined from Sin
here, and raises them to that world of JOY
where sin and sorrow are unknown.

there he is. right in front of the win

And there comes his mate right after

quickly they have found a place to sui Z
them. No French fiat. with neighbers
near enough to jostle; but cosy
little tenement all to themselves.
Here they will begin housekeeping.
Wise, are they not, to quit home, and
not to experiment on living with a
mother ,in-lawg Soon the branches,
now SO naked and dead.looking will
be covered with green leaves, afford
ing to their new home delightful shade
and protection; and perhaps they will
say to themselves, as others folks. com
placently, Doesn't look much as it did
when we came here to live, does
it!
They will have some fresh eggs; but
they will not eat them for breakfast.
They will apply such slow heat to
them, that after fortnight. instead OF
being cooked, they will have turned
into little blue-biids, that will be peck
ing at the shell and wanting to come
out; and out they will come! Then
for few weeks they will be carefully
watched, and tenderly fed from the
beaks OF the old birds; when they will
be feathered out and strong enough to
fly.
In the autumn they will go south
to spend the winter, whence-barring
all accidents-they will return in
spring, as the old birds have come
back now. They will sing just as
sweetly, and that, too, without ever
having had the bother of taking music
lessons.
In few years old and young will all
be dead, for they are shoIt-lived. But
others will have been hatched to them,
with the same instincts, coming, as
these do now, to welcome the return
ing spring with the sane delicate blue,
deepening in the same beautiful way
as they open their wings in flight.
And So goes on, in the established or
der of nature, the unvarying round of
life, and death and music, and beauty,
and parental and connubial and filial
love; with the eternal tinge of sadness
that death is an unavoidable chapter

Registration closes to-day all over the
State. Judging from what our ex-
changes report, there will be large reg
istered vote, larger by several thousand
than in 1874. In this parish the addi-
tons foot up over seven hundred. The
ensures from death, removal, &C., will,
we imagine, not amount to so many.
There will be doubtless vote polled OF
nearly 5000.

Democratic Rarhecues.

The past week has been q week of
unusual activity among the Democrats.
As we went to press last week q
rousing Democratic meeting was in
progress at Logtown. Eighty.seven
freedmen Joined the club, and thirty
next day. A meeting in the Island ION
the same day, resulted, in the accession
of over sixty freedmed to the Demo-
cratic club. Following this came bar
becue in the Colony, where over sixty
freedmen enrolled their names as DEM
ocrats. Saturday night, at Trenton,
nearly all the freedmen not Democrats
came up and joined the club. Yester-
day there was a barbecue at Hopewell,
in Caldwell, and large number OF
freedmen came over repentant OF their
past course.
1t is good feature in all these meet
ings -(aud some we have not men,
toned -that the negroes come volun-
tarily and exhibit the greatest enthu-
siasm. They declare thcy want a
change aud that they intend to try the
Democrats once. We feel assured they
will not be deceived In their choice of a
road to prosperity.
Tomorrow there will be Democrat
&c barbecue near Trenton and on Tues
day another in the Island. At the lat
ter, Gen. Nichols, Gov. McEnery and
the entire party Of State canvassers are
expected to be present.
Old Ouachita is thoroughly aroused !;
In fact,are there SO many meetings and
such a number of speakers at work that
we have found it utterly impractlcable
to keep up with the current of events.
This labor would require a daily paper
and more force than we can command.
The laborers will have their reward,
however, in a consciousness of a grave
duty fully discharged.
