' With a siinultanecus movement the citiegre:-

to unite with their pastor in that prayer which
immedithely precedes. thb Sermon:2a i6trricin
in which it 'was ej.e
ert the utmost power 9t eidclifece,
"fervent pleading withti;e Almighty.
Parzon Anderson commenced; his deep
base voice resounded through his almost iya
cant church like the subdued pekils of distant
thunder. In long accusto et] and well tueRE-
ured terms he described th ;
.liigh and,hulk ob
ject of their, adoration; expressed the , most up-
. .
pounded gratitude for,the priyilegentagain
offering up-their.heares devotions—imploring
the +di, rine blessing open ehrirliuna thioughout
the.world, but especially. upon, Ahose
for the rulers of "our' beloved and rti ghly en
lightened Jand"—Aesi red that the gospel news
of salvation might he, spread among the
`chives of this free and noble countret--and
most earnestly be - sought the,Lord Co visit with
mercy and retributive justice the haunts of
poverty, degradation, and vice,, with which
°yr citivs abound
„.Mere tho Reverend gentletuan paused from
pure necessity) his 'voice, in• the excitement
of the hour, had forgotten its solemn and le
triiimate bass, and ,ascended step by step, as
if, during the prayer,, the Almighty ear bad
receded farther and farther from the mouth of
the pleader—he had at length terminated a
beaut:fully rounded sentence in a sharp shrill
scream. Here, as we remarked, he painted,
Whaled one long, full breath, and, a
cambric of sputless,purity, removed the per
siAration-froni his brow; and he proceeded:—
"We bless thy name, Q, Lord, that, amid
the numerous bounties of thy Providence, we
are not forgotten; tipoli this• day, especially,
we'opep our hearts to feel for" the - sufferings
of the poor, the sick, and the forsaken—iM:
cline us to seek them in their own homes, to. I
relieve their distress, to'console the mourner;
to clothe the naked, to feed- the hungry, to
smile upon the objects , of thy compassion, 0,
Lord, and to share wally talk, them the' lux;
twist which this day - afords."'
At this period of the servioe,- a bonnet in
the front pew was slightly elevated,' and 4.
pair of -bloat eyes peeped cautiously rcaind to

"Every Mire' echoes the divine, 'hastily ,
rising from his seat and - catching '

A quiet and intelligent smile sat upon the
features of the son, and when the disconcerted
father had resumed his arni-chair at the foot
ed' the table, Laurens slowly clasped his hands
slightly raised his handsome face and with a
subdued emphasp repeated the words of the
morning prayers 4 lneline us to Seek them in•
their horses—lo feed the hungry—and to
equally share with them the luxuries which this
day affords." , •
"1 do not often pray as you understand it,"
continued their reprobate son, "but I some

7 —lbelieve only in that which followed by im

prayed for the hungry—l have fed them. •
'The parson felt the justice of the act, and
smothering his vexation beneath a look of ex
treme gravity, reptied; t
"The poor minister is one to 'whom, it is
commanded to (give."
' 4• But. the servant of the Lord ceases to mer
itisuch gifts when the table is lade with sil- 1

bestowing a deliberate glance up n the well
appointed dinner set. " Say

With a fiery scowl;the father seized the,
