No Cheap Collins.

FROM the chicago Herald
The coffin business is poor at pres
ent, according to a report read before
the National Burial DISSATISFACTION,
which has Just held a convention in
this city. There have been compare
lively few deaths duringt the past year,
and for that reason the demand for
burial caskets has been lighter than
usual. 1t need not. be supposed,
however, that the cofiin-makers are
looking particularly glum on that &C
count. Neither are they lookingfor-
ward to the possible advent of the
cholera with feelings of increased
cheerfulness. The coffin-maker does
not dread a temporary period OF
dullness in his business, nor does
he welcome a season of unusual &C
tivity. In fact a rush rather dis
concerts him. 1t cheapens the prices
and overworks him. He is sure OF
his trade in any event. Mortality
may be low for awhile, or epidemics
may rage, but it all amounts to the
same thing in the end. Sooner OF
later everybody on top of the earth
goes under it, and the majority use
collins.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER %.
In the Midst of Our Prayers.

N
Can You Yer keep your mind ten
minutes on one supplication? Few
Of us can. While You are praying
your store comes in, your kitchen
comes in, your losses and gains come
in. The minister spreads his hands
for prayer and you put your head on
the back of the pew in front, and
travel round the world in 3 minutes.
4 brother rises in PRAYER meetingt to
lead in s~upplication. After he has
begun the door slams, and you peep
through your fingers to see who has
come in. You say to yourself, What
finely expressed prayer!' or What
a laundering specimen! But how
long he keeps on! When would he
stop! He prays for the worlds con-
version. wonder how much he gives
toward it? There, | don't believe |
turned the gas down in the parlor,
Wonder if Bridget has gone home
yet! Wonder if they have thought
to take that cake out of the oven?
Oh, what a fool | was to put my
name on the back of that note. Ought
to have sold those goods for cash,
and not credit and so you 60 on
tumbling over one thing after anoth-
er until the gentleman closes his
prayer with Ameni and you lift up
your head, saying, There, | haven't
prayed one bit; | am not Chris
tian.' Yes, you are, il you have re-
sisted the tendency. Christ knows
how much you have resisted, and
how thoroughly we are d~isordered
of sin, and He will pick out the one
earnest petition,from the rubbish and
answer it. To the very depth of His
nature He sympathizes with the in
trinity of our prayers.

Dir. Allison on Cholera.

DR.. Allison, in a conversation with
a reporter of the LEDGER, said this
morning that in 1850 while on the
plains he had the cholera and that
it was not near so dangerous when
taken in its incipiency as many
thought. He says that in 1851 there
were several cases near Mexico and
was quite prevalent in Rocheport,
and other points in Missou-
ri. DR.. Allison says if the people
will keep cool and clean and avoid
fresh meats that there are many
other diseases much more fatal. He
does not think there is as..much dan
ger from the disease this fall as there
may be next year unless it is stamp
ed out this winter.
