NEW YORK, May 3l.-William Cullen

He also walked about the room and took

Al? :lj this evening Mr.. Bryant was
sleeping quietly, his pulse being better than
at any time heretofore during his illness.
He was awake short time previous, and
took nourishment and showed an increasing
sensibility to the sounds and movements
about him. Many Of his accustomed habits
OF attitudes and gestures are coming back
to him. and are regarded as very favorable
signs. Some days may claspe before 40
decided change appears rs to warrant Il

Mr.. c. S. Cunright, an insurance agent,
who resides at Mapitowoc, met with o seri
Gus accident yesterday. Mr.. Klgore, on
his trip North from this place to Bailey's
Harbor yesterday morning, found Mr..
Canright this side of Jacksonport, lying
against stump, insensible. Mr.. K. picked
Mr.. c. up, and brought him back to Mr..
Michael Mahany's place-about 10 miles
from this place-and enga yed Mr.. MahanY
to bring the injured gentlemen to this vii
lage. At about $50 p. m. Mr.. NJ. arrived
at the drug store in this village with Mr..
Canright, whereupon Mr.. C's bruises were
dressed. Upon examination, it was found
that not only the left side Of Mr.. C's face
was badly bruised, but that the bridge of
his nose was broken, and probably other
injuries inflicted. Up to this writing
(Tbursday p. m. Mr.. Canright has not
been in his right mind since the accident
appened-though somewhat rational when
first taken to the drug store, he was soon
again la5oring under deranged mind. As
yet nothing is definite as to how the acct
dent happened, but it is supposed that his
horse ran away, throwing him form his
blackboard against the stump where he was
found, by Mr.. kiJgore. Mr. Canright was
on lis way from Bailey's Harbor to this
place when the accident happened. His
horse was brought to this village, but the !
blackboard was left on the waysde-we
presume in demolished ondition.-Stuy-

THE WESTERN RURAL.-The Western
Rural, of Chicago, is rapidly growing in
popularity and influence, for the enterpris-
ing and aggressive spirit it manifests Its
several departments are full of interest and
admirable adapted to all the interests of the
Farm and the Fireside. 1t advocates equal
rights to all classes, and strongly opposes
the entertainments of capital and the grind
ing monopolies which tend to get foothold
in our land. The summary of general news
and market reports is excellent in fact,
The Western Rural has assumed the Want
age ground as being the foremost of it's
kind IN this country. We are not surprised
that its circulation and influence are rapidly
extending.

There is probably only one church in the
United States that has q thoroughly ap-
pointed kitchen in the basement. 1t is
the Rev. DR.. Stephen II. Tyng's Church of
the Holy Trinity, New York. Mrs. Me-
Goun is the presiding genius of this clean
and well-appointed anomaly in church
auxilaries. Every Sunday afternoon, IN
der the auspices of the Andrew and Phil
ip Society, she ladies out savory hot coffee
and tea and stewed oysters, and serves
great dishes of hot meat aud bread for
hundreds of hungry men. Every Tuesday
afternoon, at the cost Of the Mary and
Martha Society, women are as beautifully
fed. The heart is often more effectually
reached through the stomach than through
any other avenue of the body and Dr.
Tying, Jr., who is a practical man as we'll as
an able preacher, knows this as we'll as any
one. Hence hls great success IL his ministry.
There is probably no other Protestant
church of any name in the land tina. carries
on so many beneYolences at the same time
as this Church of the Holy Trinity. The
care of the sick, the aged, the poor and
other helpless classes is properly the work
of the Church, and DR.. Tying and his flock

FAITH IN PRAYER.

If we ore to obtain the blessing liz answer
to prayer, that prayer must be offered by a
6eljeUtRg church. Oh, that we did believe
in Gods promise. The Lord says, Il will
be inquired of, to do it for them" but un-
believing inquiries are only a mockery of
God. How few really believe in prayer, |
was reading the other day that the Chinese
converts Of the Inland Mission have shown
feature of piety which is not very COM
mon. When they learned that God would
hear prayer, they wanted to &c always pray.
ing, because they said, "If it be so. that the
great God hears prayer, let US ask for
great deal" We do not wonder, therefore,
that they have received answers to their
believing prayers so remarkable that the
missionary scarcely cares to narrate them,
least to unbelievers they should seem to be
as idle tales. Indeed, his fears are not at
all unreas onable, for in other cases the
written lives of praying men have been
wretched!y mistrusted. Huntington's "Bank
of Faith" has been called bank of non
sense, yet believe him to have been
thoroughly honest recorder OF facts, and
quite incapable of lie. When they read
the story of Sammy Hck, and bis turning
the wind by PRAYER, most persons are dub
ious; but why? Bread was needed for a
religious meeting, and no -four eauld be had,
for the mill could not go without wind
HEX took his bag of coan to the miller and
babe him grind it. 'But there is no wind,
Sammy" said the miller. ''Never mind,
there will be if you only put the corn into
the hopper 1t was put in, the wind
ground the wheat, and then ceased. "Ah"
people say, chat is a Methodist story"
Yes, it is. ard there are many others Of the
same kind; and some Of US have had them
happen to ourselves. Answers to prayer
do not now appear to us to be contrary to
the laws Of nature; it seems to US to be the
greatest of all the laws of nature that the
Lord raust keep his promises and hear his
peoples prayers. Gravitation and other
laws may be suspended, but this cannot be.
mo, and so your prayers are not heardr.
You must have faith, for if faith be absent
you lack the very backbone and soul of
prayer. Oh, for mighty faith! If we once
behold church filed with real active faith.
exercised in believing prayer to the living
God, the God of Israel, we shall see the
churches multiplied with men as with
