decided upon the same field that witnessed
the final overthrow OF the mamelukes by
Napoleon Bonaparte, who on that occasion
encouraged his soldiers with the now well
known apostrophe, "From the summit OF
yonder pyramids forty centuries are watch
ing you" The battle, though fought against
overwhelming odds, was not doubtful for a
moment. The mamelukes dashed them
selves against che serted squares of
French infantry, flung their dis
charged pistols in the. faces OF the
grenadiers, and tried to wrench away
the bayonets with their bare hands, while
even the wounded dragged themselves along
the ground to hack with their short swords

efforts were in vain. The rolling Gre Of the
french thinned their ranks, and at length
the whole Egyptian army gave way. The

PRAYING FOR THE SICK.

If, as some maintain, Mr.. George Barne!
goes too far in his literal Interpretation of the
Bible, may not the Church, the Orthodox
Church, fail to 60 far enough, for want Of
faith in this matter of praying for the sick ?
We certainly live, move and have our being
in God. All our springs are in him. He is
thy life, and the length of thy days, as we al
admit.
If we hold to the Bible, we must admit that
sickness is caused by disobedience and neglect
of our duties. "For this co,tse," says Paul
''many are sick and weak, and many are
dead.' Malaria did not have much to dc
with that kind of sickness, and sanitary regu
lations would not have prevented it.
Jesus said to the man, "ThOu art made
whole; sin no more lest a worse thing come
unto thee.'
What are we to infer from Moses Ell
thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice OF
the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is
right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his
commandments, and keep all his statutes,
will put none of these diseases upon you which
I have put upon the Egyptians, for am the
Lord that healeth thee.'' EX. Is: g.
We have our doubts whether medicine would
have done any more good in such a case than
in the case of good King Hezekiah, whose
life the Lord, who not only forgives sin, but
heals diseases (Ps. 1903 3) in answer to prayer
added some fifteen years.
1t is true the king died, but it is also true
that effectual, fervent prayer did much good
"But where God has appointed means, we
are not to look for Miracles True. But
are we to scout prayer for the sick under the
plea that medicine must be used i? We are
all trained up to hold that prayer is one of the
mightiest of instrumentalities.
Christ used means, he anointed blind eyes
with clay, the best thing to put out an eye,
or prevent vision, as if to teach that the
efficacy was in him, not in the medicine.
One of the signs of believers was ''they shall
lay their hands on the sick, and they shall
recover" If this part of Mark is not genuine,
what shall we do with James. SIS any sick
among you? Let me call for the elders of the
church and let them pray over him." ETC.,
"and the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up.''
May not want of faith hold back many pray
ers for it is written, "He that beleveth on
me, the works that 1 do shall he do, and great
er works shall he do, because 1 go unto the
Father.' Because all applicants arenot helped,
are we, therefore, not to pray for the sick ?
Paul himself was refused. See 2Cor. 12:7--l1.

GODS FAITHFULNESS.

1t is near six thousand years, according to
the best chronology, since God placed man up
on this globe. During all that long period
God has never, in single instance, failed to
be as good as his word. He has fulfilled all
his promises and executed all his threatnings.
He has, in no single instance, forsakelf the
righteous man, and he has so ordered his prov
idence that the way of the transgressor has
ever been hard. No creature, no matter what
may be it's nature, no matter whether it be in
heaven or hell, or on earth, can say, with even
the semblance of truth, that God has been, at
any time, unfaithful.

God is manifestly doing great things for oul
country. The fields are covered with rich
harvest of golden grain. There are signs that
there will be bread for the eater and seed fol
the sower. Shall we wax fat and Jeshurun like
wax fat and kick? Of this there is great dan
ger. There are few things that the human
family are so little able to bear as sudden pros
perity. They forget that God is the author of
all good. They wax proud and utter great

pendent upon God for everything. Thepresent
prospect should fill our hearts with gratitude,
and it should clothe us in the garments OF

LUCKY TEXAs.-"TeXas has escaped the
floods that desolated the Mississippi Valley,
and the late frost that has caused SO much
damage in the Northern and Western States, -
was the remark made bYa gentleman in a
crowd feE-days ago.
ssThat's a fact" responded a heavy tax
payer, s'but we have the Legislature, and
we may have to suffer from several sessions.
Let US not whistle until we are out Of the
woods" Which reminds us of what an old
New Orleans creole said, when mention was
made of the fact that there was no yellow
fever in New Orleans while Butler was in
command of that city. He said: '!Of course
we ave no yellow fevaire when re General
Butlaire was in New Orleans. 1t is impossee-
BILE to have ze yellow fevaire and ze General
Butlaire u same year. LIE BON Dieu will not
celia, be gar ImpOsseeble." Just so, many
people think>as long as the Legislature is in
session the BON Dieu will protect them from
such minor Affections as flood, pestilence and
famine.-Aastin 7sras) Sftings.
An IRISH ECHo.-An English paper tells of
humorous incident that is said to have hap
pened once upon time near Glasgow. 1t
seems that a nobleman was anxious to dis
cover whether or not there was an echo at any
point upon his estate. He sent one of his men
to search for the echo, and was much pleased
when the man returned with the information
that there was fine echo up among the hills
The nobleman invited party Of friends to
come and listen to the marvellous discovery
The man who had found the echo accompan-
led the party as it's guide Reaching the place,
he shouted: Hullo!" "Hulo !" came back
Immediately from the hillside. "How are
you 20 said one Of the company. 'How are
you ?" came back. In this way the company
enjoyed itself until some one shouted: "Will
you have shilling? % What was the surprise
of the party when the Echo answered "Thank
you, sir; will, sir" The fellow, who had
been stationed at distance to supply the
echo, simply submitted to too great temp
tatiOn.
