Thou hast graciously promised to hear the prayers of those who in an humble spirit, and with true faith such as tho Secessionists can bring into exercise call ed upon Thee, be pleased we beseech Thee, farorably to look upon and bless the Union men of this Commonwealth, and sustain them in tbeir praise worthy efforts to perpetaale this government, and under it the institutions of our holy reli gion. Possess their minds with the spir it of true patriotism, enlightened wi-dotn, ond of preserving hostility towards thoe traitors, political gambler., and eelfiih demagogues, who are seeking to build up a miserable Southern Coufederacy, and under it to inaugurate a new reading of the Ten Cocimaudnents, so as to teach that the chief end of -man is the Negro! In these days of trouble and pcrplcxttyr give the common people grace to preceive the right faith, which Thou knewest, leads from the camps of Southern mad caps and Northern fanatics, and enable them steadfastly to walk thertin! So strengthen the common masses, 0, Lord, and so direct them, that they being hindered neither by the fear of fire-eat ers, nor by the lovo of corrupt men in power, nor by an over-charge of'.mean whiskey, nor by any other Democratic passion, but being mindful of Thy con Ptant superintendence, of the awful msjjs ty of Thy righteousness, of Thy hatred of a. corrupt Democracy, and its profligate leader, rud of tho riet account they must hereafter give to Thee, they may iu counsel, word and deed, aim supremely at the fulfillment of their duty, which is to talk, vote, and pray agaiust the wick ed leaders of Abolitionism, and the equal ly ungodly advocates of Secessionist. Grant that those of tbe professed Minis ter, who are mixed up with modern De mocrary, and have become o hardened in tin, a openly to advocate the vile do lusion, may speedily abaudon their un ministerial habit, or go over to the cause of tbe Devil, that their portions may atjw;tb up ;rted bands, and closed eyes, tbe least be unequivocal, and that tbey may thereby, advance the welfare of the coun try! Aud grant that these fire-eaters to tue deceased "Sic transit gloria mun may soon run their race, that the course!); of this world may be t-o peaceably order ed, by Thy superintendence, that Thy Church, and Thy whole people, irrespec tive of sects, may joyfully serve Theo, in all Godly quietnes-i, through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen!

But it is not more ridiculous than some things wo have seen connected with attempts to raise the wind, and so it is voted to "ap pear." Hannah, an aunt of ours, lived out of town. "Did I never tell you what a time I had at our church last winter ?" said she to me one evening. "No I What of it?" "Now, ain't that strange ! Thought I had told everybody about it. to be sure. La, well, 'twill be news to you, then l You know Nora Tborndalo, Judge Thbrn dnle's darter. She came over to our house, and said our congregation were going to have a fair in the villago meet- in' house 1" "Du tell !" preach ?" scz T. "Who's going to said she, mighty smiling, we ain't goin' to have preacbin . A few young persons of the congregation, who seem to take a deeper interest in the church's welfare than the members them selves, desire to purchased few indispen sable articles for the meetin' bouse : and we thought if all the ohureh .would pre sent us cakes and pies, and meats and such things, we would appoint a night to sell them in the vestry of tbe church, and take the proceeds to' buy the necessary things. I he plan is well reooived, espe cially by the young. Yo know the mon ey is to be spent for charitable purposes, and on that account everything given us will sell for double its value." "Well, I wouldn't have believed that there -was so much wisdom left in the world to have cunjured up that," sez I. " 'Tis even so," said Nora, "and what will you give ? You live on a farm and farmers produce lots of things that would be acceptable." "Well, I will give two roast turkeys, and six roa-t chickens," sez I, thinking that that would bo as much as anjbody could expect those bard limes. "Urn I Well, what else ? 'tis for tbo churoh you give it, you know. Church members should not be less anxious for its interests than those who arc not," You see I was a churoh member, and she wasn't. "Well, I will give a jar of prcacb jam," sez I. "That will help along some. A few bushels of apples, or a roast pig, would be acceptable." She was so ravenous, I began to be sorry I'd offered ber anything. How somever, I promised the pig and apples. "Of course you will give us cheese, and pies, and cakes, and milk, and cream, and then I think you will have done your part at giving. By the way, we are to have a historical tableaux, and Mrs.AiDo Bruce wanted you to take the part of the Witch of Eudor. All you will have to do will be to dress to represent that lady, and stand perfectly still behind a curtain; and people will pay something to see you. You will act the part I know you will." Wal, I's old and ignorant, and didn't know what I was about, so I consented. I sent them tbe pig and the turkeys, and the chickens and apples, and all tbe rest of the things wanted, up to the meetin' house the day before the fair. The next day my husband tackled up hi old horse and chaise to carry mo to the fair. Our old chaise, somehow or oth er, don't look very well. There are holes in tho top and sides, .and some of the t-pokes of the wheels are gone The wheels squeak powerfully, too. Wal, we hadn't but jut got into town, when it seemed as if all tbe boys out of jail came hollerin' and hoottin' after us. "Hurrah for tbe Witch of Endor 1 Her majety approacheth ! Make way for her majenty I" "Do ask tbem unsightly oritters to be civil," sez I to my husband "my pa tienee is gone entirely." At that he elumbered out of tbe chaise, and after 'cm lik-er-to-split, tight as he could leg it. And O 1 ho dropped the reins on the ground, and tho old horse took a notion to go, and he went. You see he knew tbo way to tho ohurcb,. and bo went. Husband he oamo hollerinl "whoa I whoa 1" just as I was ridin' up to the meetin' house. The meetin' bouso yard was full of folks laughin' and starin' as if thoy hand'tgot no respoctablo in urn. I got out of the chaise and made my way through the crowd, and they wouldn't make room, and I elbowed them right s.iiartly. I'm desput thin of flesh, and when I hit urn, they'd give back as if they'd teen Btuok with a daggor. Paid twenty cents to go into the church; the table inside did look beautiful. No ra explained the fixins to me. There were grab boxes that contained a hun dred things worth one cent, and one thing worth ten; you paid five cents a grab, aud if you grabbed right, you would get your money's worth. And there was a ring cake; it was divided into fifteen slieoa ; i you paid a dollar a slice, aud one Blioe. ! contained a ring worth a dollar. So he tbat got the right slice got a ring. And there were guess cakes, and ever so mauy such kind of things, two numerous to mention. i Wal, they drost me up to represent the j Witch of Endor. I novor was very hand- ! some, and they rigged me up at such a rate that I muot have looked awful. I stood behind a curtain, and people paid niuo-penco to come in and Bee me. Some went off mad; children generally scared. Some went off laugbin' as if they'd split. I evidentlv nrodneod a nowerfol i:nnrns. r .. , sion on all that saw me. People at last began to come and see me faster than they could bo accommodated. I could hoar them talking around the tables a bout tbe Witch of Endor's pig, and tur keys, and caked; and I began to feol at length dreadfully as if I was making a fool of myself. I stood there feelin' des putly, and had just made up a face to cry ovor my unfortunato condition, when, all of a sudden, down came tho curtain, and there I stood right out before them all. They set up such a huurring as I never hoard before or since. I elbowed my way through 'um likeVildfiro, made for the gettin' out place, and started for home. Wal, I went homo with all my Witch of Endor rigging on. When husband came to tbe door to let me in, he was so frightened that he set the dog on me. The dog oamo towards me, growled, and run as if he'd break bis nook, and I havn't seen him from that day to this. I at last convinced my husband that I was bis be loved wife. When L explained it all to him, the way he growled was a cau tion. Wal, they raised three hundred dollars at that abominable fair. With it they bought an ornamented chandelier, and also a silk velvet cushion, and hired car penters to mako gingerbread work all o ver tbat air meetin' house, I'm just of Mrs. Deacon Ware's opin ion about churoh fairs, I am that thoy are just the wiokedest things that ortho doxy ever tolerated. She says tbey are killin' to religion, and I think bo, too. She Bays that the older oburoh members think I was desputly put upon at the fair, and I deolaro I don't believe but what I was.- Chicago Record. Our readers will remember bow indig nant the Democratic journals, were, at tho attempt as thoy said, of John M. But ler and his friends, to cheat William E. Lehman of his election to Congress in the First District, in Philadelphia. Even Packer deprived Mr. Butler, the duly cer tified member elect to Congress from the Distnot, of the usual certificates issued by him, whilst he held that of the Return Judges, and declared Mr. Lehman duly olected. The matter was under investi gation in Philadelphia last woek; the votes were recounted, and it is found that Mr. Butler's majority in tho whole District is 126, thereby returning him. Whatever oheating was perpetrated in the 'first in stance, was done by the opposite parties who were fighting among themsolves. This result is gratifying. Determined to Rebel, Anyhow. At tbe conclusion of bis speech in the Senate, on Friday last, Mr. Hunter of Virginia was asked by Mr. Baker of Or egon whether, if a constitutional majority of both Houces of Congress should pass amendments to tbo Constitution such as would meet the views of Southern Sena tors, he (Mr. Hunter) would support the Government, tho Constitution, and tho laws, until the people could decide upon' accepting or rejecting such amendments ? Mr. Hunter replied : "That is a ques tion I cannot answer. I am not author ized to answer for Virginia." On being reminded by Mr. Baker that he had not been asked about Virginia, but about his owu readinoss to support the Government and tho laws, Mr. Hunter declined to re ply, saying, "If tbo gentleman i not sat isfied, I cannot satsify him." This evasion on the part of tbe Virginia Senator strikingly illustrates the spirit that now governs the slaveholders. They are determined on rebellion, and no con cessions, not even amendments to tbe Con stitution dictated by themselves, will sat isfy them. What is tho use of talking a bout compromises with such traitors ? Counterfeit Fives on the Belvidere Bank.

When Mississippi repudiated her bonds jasued in the great inflation of 1835-6, the British bond hold ers appealed to their government, and tbe subject become a matter of diplomatic controversy between England and tbo United States. England wanted to coerce Mississippi, but as that State could not bo touched without attacking the Union, which was not responsible for the bad faith of tho recalcitrant Mississippians, the a3gis of tho Federal power protected them from tho consequences of their crime.
