The Rev. Z. I*. Wilds, well-known city

j of tlio late eminent Judge Wil ls, of the

as follows:
“”8 E. TAth St., Nr.w YorJ:, lb 10,1382.

PRAYER.
Prayer in its truest, deepest and
most interior sense is the opening of
the doors of the soul to let the King
of G lory come in.
Prayer is the key to the everlasting
doors of heaven, that opens them that
the Divine Love and Truth may pour
into our souls.
The prayer that does this, is unself
ish, asks nothing for ones self, that it
is not willing to accord to all.
The prayer that does this is humble
and contrite, and does not dictate to
God, but always adds, “nevertheless
not my will but thine bo done.”
Voluble words that go forth for the
admiration ol the world are not pray
ers; they arc mere declamations or reci
tations.
Long harangues to God are vain
! babblings, that close the Gates of
! Heaven. They dishonor God, and
j give the honor to the babler.
Formal prayers are toying with holy
! things. They take the name of God
! in vain.
j We do not condemn public prayer
i when it is the true utterance of a soul
I devotedly in love with the Lord to
| whom it is offered.
j The prayer of such a man as J. W.
• Fletcher opens the doors of Heaven
j until a Hood of glory pours in upon his
1 hearers, Not that one man’s prayer
' of itself opens the doors ot other men’s
! souls, but it is infectious, and causes
; the hearers to join Him in the prayer
and thus open their souls to the King
of Gloryu
A true prayer does not dictate; a
true prayer does not demand, but car
ries up its complaint to the Lord as the
great physician and leaves him to pre
| scribe the remedy. Wh is he that
I sends lor a physician and tell him what
! remedy to use? The physician is pre
sumed to know best.
How much more so is it with the
Great, Physician who probes the very
sources of all diseases of soul and body.
The infidel says, it God knows all
things and is constantly laboring to
restore all things why pray at all?
If man was a mere piece of machinery
like a clock that only has to be kept
running, this would boa rational ques
tion.
Man is designed to be of a rational
mind and of free volition. Every prov
idence of God is to keep him in free
dom and rationality'. It is therefore
necessary that there should be a free
conspiration of the soul of man with
the Spirit of God.
The aspirations of men are the con
tinued prayers of men. Some open
the doors of Heaven and some open the
doors of hell.
The aspirations of men that look to
the good of mankind open the doors of
Heaven. Tlio aspirations of men that
look only to the good ot self open the
doors of hell.
The one stores up treasures in Heav
en; the other stores up treasures on
earth.
The treasures of the first endure to
all eternity; the treasures of the other
endure through a short life on earth.
Are prayers answered? Always,
but seldom 'in the exact manner expect
ed. This we know from much experi
ence. The request made may not be
granted, hut that which is better for us
is granted instead. This is clearly
tine of all true prayer from a believing
soul. By believing soul we mean one
who believes in a Divine ruler of the
Universe, an allwise creator. He that
calls nature God must trust to chance
and his own cunning and sagacity.
Verily such a one has the cohorts of
hell to help him to attain his ends.
But oh! what a harvest of death and
destruction is reaped in the end. They
that sow to the wind reap the whirl
wind. He that loves God and desires
the salvation of all rnon goes up to God
in the attitude of prayer, and receives
an inspiration of prayer that will be
answered to the fullest extent, perhaps
not to the letter but to tlio spirit. If
the devout prayer of inspiration goes
out for the salvation of all men, it will
not alone save them, hut it sends out a
ray of love and light that besieges
every heart. Through snail prayers
the strongholds of Satan are constantly
beseiged, and as the number of men
who breath such prayers increase, the
power of hell decrease. One stroke of
the ax does not cut down the tree.
But man has a mightier weapon at
his hand to war against sin. It is
obedience to God. Why stand idle
and beat the breast and stamp the feet
and cry to God. “Not every one that
sayeth unto me, Lord, Lord, slrill enter
the kingdom of Heaven; hot lie that
iloeth the will of my Father which is
in Heaven.”
'Bile constant endeavor toon the will
of God is a consiaut silent prayer, it
is a constant looking to (Lid. It sets
a constant watch uvi-i- the cuuiiiici; ii
sounds the depths of Satan; it takes
all the conceit out of the old Adam of
our nature; it humiliates us, and makes
us give all tlie glory to God. It puri
ties our spoken prayeis and shortens
them wonderfully.
It is not the beautiful and rhetorical
prayer that opens Heaven for man
and builds him a mansion in Heaven,
but it is the silent prayer of a good
life.
But to lead this life, we need the
daily bread of Heaven, the flow of the
Divine Spirit into our souls. For this
we should let no day' pass without go
ing up to God in secret prayer, and
thus open the everlasting doors ol
Heaven, that the King of Glory may
come in.
A Beautiful Monument.
and liu most beautiful monument in the
world, save that of (jiteen Louisa, wife
of Frederick William IV., in Charlot
tenburg, near Berlin, is that of Princess
Charlotte, daughter of the Prince of
Wales, afterward King George IV.,
and wife of Prince Leopold, late King
of Belgium. It stands in St. George’s
Chapel, Windsor, England.
Her sudden death and that of her in
fant son, who was the heir to the throne
of England, at Claremont, near Win
sor, in 1810, caused deep and univer
sal sorrow throughout the kingdom.
She lived a sad life until her mar
riage, when, emancipated from the
heartless bondage of her parents, and
the tyranny of her domestics, she real
ly entered upon the true enjoyment of
life. But death destroyed the hopes of
sympathizing kingdom.
She not only stood high in rank, but
higher in the Christian graces, and a
mourning and grateful nation erected
this splendid monument to her memory'.
The monument is of white marble,
and attests the skill of the artists,
Matthew Wyatt. The vault is found
in Urswick Chapel, at the eastern end
of the building. The cenotaph con
sists of two parts, the front, or lower
one, representing mortality, and the
higher one, back of the former, repre
senting the resurrection to life and
glory.
The body of the princess is carved
above the sarcophagus, covered with a
white robe, her right hand falling gent
ly over the edge of the sarcophagus.
It is so finely executed that the out
lines of her figure, and even her coun
tenance, are admirably preserved.
At each of the four corners a female
figure with head covered has fallen
upon her face in passionate grief. In
the background the princess is repre
sented as ascending in joyous aspect
from the tomb, between two winged
angels, one of them supporting her
child.
A canopy of curved gilt-work encir
cles it above, on which are intertwined
the arms of England and Saxe-Coburg,
to which Leopold belonged. On the
window back of the monument six of
the apostles are painted, and a rich
purple-and-orange light streams down
through the invisible side windows
upon the rising figures, giving them a
most beautiful celestial glow, and rep
resenting to the spectator a strange
contrast with the dim and shadowy
figures in front.
It gives one a vivid idea of tlie dif
ference between the earthly and hea
venly, and unfolds to his enraptured
vision the glories of immortality. The

A Story of the Sullivan Family,
Portsmouth correspondent of the Washing
ton Star.
When that sturdy Irishwoman to
whom the Sullivan family may well
look back with pride, was crossing the
Atlantic on her way to the new coun
try and was asked, “Why do you come
to America?” she answered, “To raise
Governors for them,” little dreaming
that she would live to see one of her
sons Governor of New Hampshire and
another Governor of Massachusetts,
though I am sorry to say the third did
not do much honor to his family, and
was known as “Devil Jim.” The
story goes that soon after John Sulli
van rose to he Governor of w Hamp
shire he desired to give a grand dinner
to a number of distinguished guests.
A member of his family at the time
was his mother, and, fearing she would
not bo quite equal to the occasion, he
concluded it would be best to arrange
for her non-appearance at the dinner
table. Approaching the matter as
gently as possible he soon succeeded
in making the quick-witted old lady
understand the drift of his diplomatic
talk, and in convincing himself that
be bad miscalculated the pride of tlio
mother of the Sullivans. Rising, in
all the majesty of lier Irish wrath,
“John Sullivan,” exclaimed the old
lady, “I have hoed potatoes in the field
with the Governor of New Hampshire

at my breast, the Governor of Massa
chusetts hy my side, and the devil tug
ging at my skirts, hut never yet have
l allowed one of my sons to ho asham
ed of me; order the chaise and send
me home.” Remonstrances were of
no avail, and home went John Sulli
van’s mother in all the majesty cf her
ligliteous indignation.
Is This Your Likeness?
One of tlie subtlest forms of selfish
ness is that which comes from self-ab
sorption in work. The greater tlio
work, the more ready conscience is to
palliate or even to justify altogether
this selfishness. Just now the world
of ctities is howling over Carlyle’s
careless unconcern for his sensitive,
sometimes sick, and often suffering
wife. It does not relieve him from
just condemnation that iiis sin is a
common one; but if none hut a sinless
critic could throw the first stone, Car
lyle would not get much hurt.
When they are first married the hus
band is everything to tlio wife. House
keeping cares are small, or none at all;
there is little society; the days are long
and lonely; the wife counts the hours
and even the minutes for her husband’s
return; and everything is ready for his
coming, as though he were all the
world contained, as, indeed, he is to
her. But this cannot continue long.
Children come and divide atten
tion, care and love. Society interposes
its claims. The church demands time
and thought. There are calls to re
turn, and meetings to attend, and
dresses to make, and baby to care for;
and the husband has to take a second
place. Now, though it is never easy
ior an idol to step offfroinliis pedestal,
or put another alongside himself, the
husband, who has a moderate share of
common sense, will not expect the wile
and mother to become so absorbed in
other duties that her husband recedes
steadily from the first place to the
third, ami fourth, and finally goes out
of sight altogether. Bho no longer
watches for his coming; she is surpris
ed when he appears, and half disap
pointed too, that he is home so soon,
for this bit of household work is not
quite done, or that last stitch is not yet
taken, and she is really more anxious
to finish the seam than to sec lier hus
band. The little things that make
home hajipy are forgotten because of
the supposed larger duties due to socie
ty or the church; and the wife by' her
self-absorption in a busy, hustling life
outside does more to make her hus
band pagan than to make pagans
Christian, because the one she touches
very nearly and the other she influences
only afar off. We call (his life of sell
absorption on a subtle form of selfish
ness, because social ambition makes so
cial care a delight and social duty a
pleasure; and what the good woman
imagines to he a self-denial is really an
enjoyment, if not a passion. We have
known women who were never weary
of inveighing against society who
would die of ennui if they were taken
out of it.
But this subtle form of selfishness is
far oftener seen in the husband than in
the wife. He gives himself up to his
business, and gives only a fringe and
fragment of thought to the woman
whom lie idolized for a month, or even,
with rare fidelity of masculine affection,
for a twelve month. When lie comes
home he leaves his mind in the count
ing-room and only brings his body to
the supper-table. He is generally ab
stracted, and often positively cross. His
wife has received so many rebuff’s from
him that, if she be sensitive, she learns
to study him furtively before she ven
tures to address him, even in the quiet
of the evening fireside; and if she ho
not sensitive she answers hack, and
each sharp battle of words separates
them farther and farther from each oth
er. The best men arc most easily'sub
ject to this unconscious form of subtle
selfishness. The higher the thoughts
and the larger the work, the greater the
danger and easier the self-excuse. The
minister who is devoted to the interests
of his church, who is full of tenderness
in the pulpit, and of rcspoctful consid
eration in soe’ety, appears not unfre
quently at home unaccommodating,
thoughtless of others, easily irritated,
in a word, selfish. He may he wholly
unconscious of selfishness. In one
sense ho is not selfish, for his thoughts
are not on self, hut on his serurtm, his
church, or his perplexed parishoner.
But lie puts his work first and forgets
Paul’s declaration that lie who fails to
provide fur his own family is worso
than an infidel. And to provide for
one’s own family is to provide not
merely food and clothing, but consid
eration and love.

.Meeting at a court one day, Roches

ted Barrow, the witty divine. “Doc

which Barrow rejoined, “My lord, I
am yours to the ground.” Rochester
followed with, “Doctor, I am yours to

lord, I am yours to Rie atipodes.”
Rochester, scorning to he foiled by a
musty divinity, as lie termed Barrow,
replied, “Doctor, I am yours to the

turning on his heels, quietly observed,
“There, my lord, I leave yon!”
