THE PEOPLES PRAYERS.

Under this head the Baltimore Er,Hiay N,r..
Democratic paper. says "the earnest prayers ofthe
hopeful millions should recall President GARFIELD,
even IL his soul has entered the valley of the
shadow Of death. More sincerely. no man. suf-
ierings have been mourned. aud more dcvoutly.
no mans recovery has been begged. From every
home in America sincere petitions have been offer.
cd up to the throne Of grace; every church has
lifted up its besesehing voice to God. anI every
individual. with morning. evening aud midday
impulse, has asked heaven TO be merciful To- the
wounded man aud stricken country.
Each day of dull suspense. with it, many aud
varied reports, its strained and startling Iunors,
10 borne with patience. for IL Is counted one en-
couraging step toward his cure. The further No
get from that terrible second of July the more
eheerfally We lay the aatterins JUNCTION to our
souls that the Presidents vigorous frame. brave
heart, cheerful disposition aud temperate habits
will pull him through. And rs the hours roll On
and he still battles the grim destroyer. We are
buoyed up aud feel like applauding our champion
in the grim and horrible struggle.
III seems 10 u that the honest and universal
love aud grief displayed toward President Garfield
should strengthen and help the sufferer. should aid
him " resist death, and should revive him with q
sense Of supreme qualification. Never did a eoun-
try hang so fondy and devotsiiy upon one mans
life. Lincoln killed and died quickly. The
fierce shock was felt and the nation plunged in
sorrow. But we were used to violent deaths then.
Bereavements were so general and violence 20
common that the public was somewhat hardened.
The multitude was demoraiiEei, but 1, was like an
army that had lost trusted leader, and there was
more confusion and less sentiment than how
Like great family the country leans over Pre.i-
dent Garfeld's bed as IL the father Of the family
was stricken unto death. There u no dread or
thought Of political confusion or business disaster
or Of national integrity. All is anxiety for the
man, grief for the father and husband, and SYN
Pathy for the distressed ones about him. We
have no mi'gisinss over the financial or CONNER
ciai effects Of his death. We simply revolt a, the
monstrous crime Of which he Is the victim and
mourn for his loss as for that Of the head Of our
national family"
