The apparent recovery Of General
Grant j. acreditnd to the answer OF
prayer. This seems 10 IA ~ border
i2g,9BIhf hAffepEi2Hy dHWsi4ng VIZ Nihr the IA
tai sickness of President Garfield, that
the "alIDighty would not dare let
Garfield die, for there are thirty thou
sand Methodist ministers praying foi
his recovery. True, "the prayer oi
the righteous ayaileth much but
the DCastiuS conduct over the iuiivid
uai power Of their prayer seems 30 re-
diculous that many earnest believing
| Christians are di,gust"d while tie
skcptical revel in mockery over the
subject. Ia the ease OF Grant, il j.
evident that he was not attacked by Il
malignant cancer and that the
doctors had diagnosed the case wrong

tunity to advertise themselves by
sending ont false bulletins. Let H.
then not pray for miracles in these
latter days when there is no necessity
for them, but let US pray for little
more Intelligence and honesty in the
men whose words have the respect
and whose opinions huvo the conf

example, are in Il state Of chronic he
wilderment over the puzzle of this
question. They see some OF THEN
mates making ten-strilse among the
men AT picnic. How does she do IT,
they cry. She il not half as pretty as
Ellen Jones or Mary Alcott, and there
theY sit in the corner. She is not as
sweet and amiable as this one, as sen
siblc ana true As that, and yet were
she honey and the men bees, no more
lively swarming would he witnessed
There is no use trying TO find out the
secret; she has the occult quality OF
magnetism, and that is all that can be
said. No, young ladies, you are sim
ply on the wrong scent. Very likely,
the open secret lies in no charm OF
beauty or intelligence, but in quick
and electric vivacity OF spirits that
