PRAYER

almighty and Everlasting God, the
Father of our spirits, the former of our bod
les, the giver of every good and perfect gift,
Thou who canst see the end from the be-
ginning, who know est what is best for us
Thy children, and hast appointed the holy
rite of marriage to be sacredly observed in
all generations. Regard now, we beseech
Thee, Thy servant, our Chief Magistrate.
Endue him plenteously with Thy grace,
and fill him with wisdom to walk in Thine
ordinances. Be very nigh to him in the
midst of many cares and grave responsible
ties Day by day may Thy law direct and
Thy strength uphold him. And be Thou
forever his sun and his shield. And be
graciously pleased to look down upon this,
Thy daughter, even as Thou didst favor
the chosen Rebecca and many noble women
that have adorned the world. May she be
indeed precious boon of God TO her hus-
band, to cheer and help him continually;
woman gifted with the beauty of the Lord,
and shedding the sweet influence of a
Christian life upon the nation, in whose
sight she is to dwell. Wilt Thou approve
what we, Thy servants, come now to do in
Thy namely Thine authority and under
the laws of the land in which we live. And
graciously assist them, this man and this
woman, who are here to be united in the
bonds of holy wedlock according to the in
situations of Thy word. Mercifully be
pleased, almighty God, to vouchsafe to each
of them Thy grace that they may well and
truly weigh the unfailing vows which they
are now about to make to each other in the
presence of this company and before Thee,
and that they may be enabled hereafter at
all times so to live together as to rejoice in
the solemnization of this union with joy un-
speakable and full of glory, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen"

There is no doubt of the fact, and no in
telligent and we'll informed man, no matter
whether he belong to a labor organization
or not, can deny it truthfully, that the
strikes, riots and boycotts now and for some
time past prevalent in this country, are not
caused by too hard-worked and ill-paid
labor, for never was labor SO easy nor SO
well paid as now. and never was the pur-
chasable value of wages greater than it is
at present. If designing men, who live on
the assessments of laborers, and demagogues
who hope to be advanced by their votes,
would let them alone, their condition would
be improved considerably, and they would
have good cause to be better satisfied than
they are.-Aler. Gasette.

DIR. TAYLOR FINDS PoIsoN.--Dr. William
Fl. Taylor, State chemist, announced to-day
that he had completed the analysis Of tie
contents of the stomach of George Howard
(eolored), and had discovered arsenic
Howard died under very mysterious circum-
stances some weeks ago, and suspicion was
directed towards his wife and her para
mour. The finding of arsenic in the
stomach of the dead man, coupled with the
fact that his wife's paramour had, just
previous to Towards death, attempted to
purchase strychnine for the purpose, as he
said, of killing dog, and other circum-
stances points strongly to murder at the
hands of the wife of the deceased and her
paramount, who are now in the Gloucester
county Jail awaiting trial.
The arsenic found in the stomach is
supposed to be some "Rough on Rats" a
deadly poison, sold promiscuously through
out the State without proper precaution.-

twain shall be one flesh. 1t was constitu-

4 LETTER FROM FLORIDA.

A61at0T NelcS:-
 DEAR SR,-I send you short item to let you know what cold weather we have had here. A dispatch came from Washington, last week Friday, saying that Saturday and Sunday would be the coldest ever known in Florida. It proved true. We have had five days of severe weather already-the water froze into ice one-quarter of an inch thick. I think it must be 8 northern Dakota cold wave that came here t. spend few days in the Sunny South. I hope it will not stay here long. This weather will damage most all the young orange trees and this years crops.
 I saw in your last paper that you have had an open winter so far, although 1t w.s quite cold last Thanksgiving, the day left Canaan for Boston to get m daughter, Mary l.. Mundry, and come on the Stonington line to New York. Then we took the Savannah line to th, Way Cross railroad to Florida. We had [ very heavy gale at sea-14 vessels were wrecked near Savannah-but we arrive cd all safe.
 I found the old city much improved since last spring. They are now bull . ing large hotel of coquena shells. th' employs now 100 men. The city WI soon be illuminated with gas lights. The large gas house is almost comple . ed.
 will close by saying that I have no seen one alligator peep its nose out 0 the water since this cold weather cam on. My best regards to all friends.
