A Prayer Which will Bear
Repetition.

Characteristic prayer offered by Elder
Littlejolin i'll 1910: "Oh, Lord, there is
great wicBedness III our young and ris-
Ing towns. Therefore, 0 Lord, we crave
Thy blessing. Now, Milwaukee,, just
sprung up, is bad Chicago, another
mushrooms, is worse. Yet do thou, Lord,
bless and improve them. Then there is
Michigan City, place Of sand and
whiskey, and LapOrte, OF mud and
wickedness and, indeed, they need thy
blessing. And there is South Bend, aud
also Niles, which thiuk themselves
righteous. Lord, they needItTy bltssing.
And here is Mishawaka, which boasts
itself something, but has nothing but
self-iightpOusuess Good Lord, open
its eyes, that it may receive thy bless
ing. Then We have Eikhart, aud Bris-
foil and Mottville-Iittle things, but
wicked. Do, Lord, bless them" Then,
pausing tor breath, and raising his
voice to its highest pitch And lastly,
then, dear good Lord, even bless Con-
stantine, where Gov. Barry sells whisky
at three cents glass Amen.

special Virtues OF Celery.


In celery there must be sumo spseial
virtue, it we only knew what it is.
Nothing is made in vain, and the pow
erful smell and extraordinary taste Of
celery are limitations from nature that
~ has some special mission. Mr.. Ward,
OF PeFliston towers, Ross, writes that
rheumatism becomes impossible ificele-
~ is freely used as an artile of diet.
Unfortunately, he says cooked celery,
for it is the article in its raw state to
which we are all accustomed. "Cut the
celery" he says, Into inch dice. Boil
in water until soft. No water must be
poured away unless drank by the ilval-
id. Then take new milk, very slightly
thicken it with flour, and flavor it with
nutmeg; warm with the celery in the
saucepan /; serve with DIAMONDS of
toasted bread around the dish, and eat
with potatoes. Permit me to- say" he
adds, that cold or damp never pro-
duces rheumatism, but simply develops
ii. The acid blood is the primary cause,
and the sustaining power of the evil
While the blood is alkaline there can BE-
no rheumatism, ana equally no gaubt.
Let me tearlessly say that rheumatism
is impossible ON such diet, aud yet Ouf
