Just now, liowevci— up to lia* time ot the late stoim—Ave liave had a succession of sunsets often without a single defined cloud in the .sky, as if till se meteors had been bidden to withdraw for a season, in order to ('xhiliit to our eyes some of the phe- nometia presented hythe most heau- tiiul climates of the old world.” “ S oldier , A re Y ou H ungry ?” — About eighteen niontlis ago, a reg iment pa-ssed through this city en route to Washington, tmd having oc casion to halt for a while in one of the streets of the city, one ot’the sol diers was u]iproache(i hy a litiL’ fel- luvv, who impiireii ot him, “ Soldier, are you hungry ?” The soldier re- I lying in the affirmative, the little fellow\invited him to home near by, and set hef>re him a bountiful repast.

Many years ago. my dear father, on his dying bed, ch-irged me, as the eldest of the laruily he was soon to leave, to aid my nmihcr in the care of th(-> yonng<-r children. Young as I was, such a charge, given at such a time, could not hut make a dee)) i tiprcvSsion. It. led me to loel more than a hitter’s sulicitu !e in the wel- f.ire of those who had thus been, in a meiisure, intrusted to my care. For one brother, several years younger than myself, 1 fell the tend- crest regaal. When I was first led to trust in Christ as my Stivior, con- veusion of this dear brother was an object ardently longed and jirayed , for. But years jiassed on, and be had grown to manhood, but gave no evidence of true ]iiety ; and 'when a direct appeal was made to his con- sciene.e, he seemed to rest upon his mornlity as all that he needed. lie left at length the home circle, to seek lor himself “ a name and fam e ” in the Far W est. W ith characteristic energy, he engaged in Im.dnc-ss, and his success was all we could liavo asked. Ills dntie.s led him all along the frontier, from the Miss -uri Iliver to the Iloeky Mmmt- ains, back and forth again and again. My anxiety for him was redoubled. Wlmt his surroundings were I too well knew. Far from early associa tions and Christian influences, his lot east among many who “ feared not God nor reganled man,” wdiat Wonder if my' fiith faltered and al most died. Still, I m-ade him the subject of many an agonizing prayer —for many mouths praying and hoping, yet, alas! hardly believing, A ble.ssed coinmnni in .season had been granted to our tdiurch, and in eomjiany' w'itli God’s dear children, 1 sat at the table of our common Sa- vioi, Cbii.sl c-ime vciy near to u.s, and my heart gathered together its far- ulf loved ones, and presented them for the Master’s blessing ere we should leave the feast. But there w.is one, my dear brother, for wliorn my agony wa.s intense. I prayed with the le. ling th a tm v petitions could n -t be denied. 1 felt that I must have an answer to my prayers; ami vvhen I left the table, it was witii s me measure of assurance that 1 liad not asked in vain. On my way iiouie rny liusliaiid handed me a l-'tter, with the remark, “ 1 forgot to give it (o yon yester- d-iy.” I recognized the w.iting at once as my b:other’s, and alter reach ing hmue, sat down to read it. W h it were my emotions as I read tin long-vvi.shed-for intelligence of his conversion. Ye.s, the wanderer had found Christ. God’s Spirit bad striven with him in that distant land and he Ind given up all trust in his own goodness, and acccqited the riglitconsne.ss of Christ. The pray ers ot a sainted lather, of a devoted mother, and my o\vn pcHir }>etitions were not answered. My taithless heart received a lesson which 1 am still prone to forget, Bitice then, when I have been ready to desjiair of the conversion of one and another in whom 1 have felt a deep interest, and for whom 1 have long and earnestly prayed, the mem ory of this signal answer, given when scarce the petition had gone up Irom my heart, has encouraged me to con tinue my prayers, in the hope that again God would soon and surely hear. (3h, if we rightly appreciated -the privilege and the ]iower of prayer, how much would our usefulness be increa.sed—‘how different our lives. We should no longer pray without expectii g an answer, nor be surprised when the answer comes.— [Messen- ger. ■ » »i— The S cliieswigHoIsteiu Question. The death of’King Frederick V II., of Denntark, which occurred on Nov. 15, 1S6B. has brought on a crisis m ibo Behleswig-Holstein question, Tiie two duchies of Sddeswig and Holstein have never been integral parts of Denmark, but they wereih- dgpendeut duchies, whose dukes hap- pen'eB to be a t the same time kings of Denmark. In Deainafk proper, the crown of the montuchy was tmusipissible tp females; in the two the Salic law prevaii>led| ao” cording to wliich die crown can only descend to lu-iis male. In couse- qiK’nce of this difference of the law of succession, the conueclion of the two duchi s with Den-naik had to cease \;ith the deadi (*f King Fred erick; ihe PviiiCe of Augusteuburg being the Inwlul hucc*‘ssur in the two duchies, and another relative in Denmark. In order, however, to secure the iiitegrity of the Danish m-.inarchy, conference of the great )i'iwers of Eurcjie, held at L'lndon in 1852, and in which Erigband, France, Bussia. Austria, Pm ssiaand Eweetlen took jiart, undertook to change the law of succession both in DentivArk prop<*r a n t in the duchies, designating Prince Christian, the father of the Piincess of Wales and of the new king of Greece, as enti tled to succession for the whole mon archy. On the death of King Fred erick, the Prince of Augustenbnrg claimed the succession in the two duchies, on the ground that the con ference of London was not authorized to dispose of bis rights and the priv ileges of the jieopleof the two duch ies—that neither the Diets of the duchies uur the federal Diet of Ger many had given their consent to the protocol of 18.5’2, and that it was therefore utterly invalid. The claims of the prince were a t once recognized hy a mimher i.f the German jirinces, and sustained by the German people generally. The duchy of Holstein is exclu sively irihahited by Germans, and is a jiart of the German Confederacy, In Schleswig about 146,500 inhahit- ant.s are sjieaking German, 33,000 Frie.sian, 13.5,000 Danish, and 8.5,000 Danish and Ge;man. Schles wig does not belong to the German confederacy, but hy virtue of treaties is connected with Holstein. The twoduebies (togetlver with the duehy of Laiienburg) have a population of 1,004,473 souls, while Denmark proper has 1,600,551. ---- [Tribune Aliuamtc. T h e R ig h t Sort o f K e ligion .

We want a religion that bears not only on the sinlulness cf sin, but on the rascality ol and stealing; a re ligion that banishes small measures from the counters, small baskets from the stalls, pebbles Irom the cot ton hags, clay from pa|>er, sand from sugar, chickory from coffee, beet juice from vinegar, alum from bread, lard from butter, strychnine from wine, and water from milk cans.
