Grayer for the Million. We cannot give the author of this prayer for the million,” but it is beautiful. God of the mountain, God of the storm ; God of the flowers, God of the worm ; Hear us and bless us: Forgive us, redress us ; Breathe on our spirits Thy love and Thy healing. Teach us content with tin’ fatherly dealing; Teach us to love thee. To love another—brother his brother, And make us all free. Free from the shackles of ancient tradition, And show us ’tis manly, ’tis God-iike to labor. God of the darkness, God of the sun; God of the beautiful, God of each one ; Clothe us and feed u«, Illume us and lead us. Show us that avarice holds us in thrall That the lan 1 is all Thine, and Thou givest to all. Scatter our blindness, Help us to do right ail the day and the night— To love mercy and kindness. Aid us to conquer mistakes of the past; Show us our future to cheer us and arm us. The upper, the better, the mansions Thou hast, And God of the grave that the grave can not harm us. W ■ St. Louis M. E. Conference on Stimu lants. The following is the report of the Com mittee of said Conference on Temperance and Narcotic stimulants*. Wc affirm in the language of our Discip line that “Drunkeness, Luying or selling spirituous liquors, or drinking them, unless in cases of extreme necessity,” is inconsis tent with a profession of religion, and is the source of untold injury to society. We refer with satisfaction to the success of Temperance legislation in the State of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, as a well direc ted assault on the liquor traffic; and we advise the members of ourchnrch to heart ily co-operate withall friends of temper ance that like legislation may be secured in the State of Missouri. But we are con vinced that entire prohibition should he the watohword of all Christian mtn. The min isters of the Conference are urged to preach on temperance and to aid this reform in every way consistent with their profession. We do not doubt that all narcotics and stimulants, such as tobacco, opium, coffee and tea, and in different degrees hurtful to health, and may be properly classified as needless self-indulgence, from which all denying Christians may we'l abstain, follow ing the example of many great names in the church. We offer the following resolution : Resolved, That we favor a call for a State Temperance Convention and recommend our preachers and members to do all in their power to forward such movement. Wm. Sellkiib, Ch’tnu. Benj. St. James Eby. Sec’y. Let the order of Good Tempiars be a calm, sweet realm. Hers be the green pas tures and still waters; hers the ways of ple isantneas and the paths of peace. The garden she tills is the human heart, and the seeds which she scatters will bear their fruit in Heaven. Here is not the pomp of science, the splendor of genius, the glitter of wealth; with her pale finger she points to annals of the past, and they all become as chaff upon the bosom of the wind, yet she stops not here. Speaks she now in tones as solemn as u midnight bell, of the nothingness of human greatness. Listen again, and ye shall bear the clarion voke proclaiming aloud that human virtue never dies. Appears sire now with the shadows of death upon one hand and the history of the world upon the other, to teach how painful is human ambition and h?w sense- Icss the love of self! Ix>ok again and ye shall behold her de scending upon her angel pinions of love and charity, to gather the entire human family beneath their ample folds. Comes she now in the shape of a hoary philosopher, worn and bent with yeats. Lo! she comes again in the shape of a ministering angel, with smiles of sympathy and tears of mty, to the abode of want and the hou.-e of death. Os Offenses.--I never knew anyone more forward to take offense than such as were most apt to give it; nor any more hardly brought to bear with the fai’ingsOf others, than such a< stood in the greatest need to have both God and man bear with no small things amiss in themselves, *.*._ In vouth you must lay in a stock of knowledge which nun curry you through life, whatever your nfter-pur «uits may be, with usefulness and hon or. But recollect this is not to lx? done without exertion, without the fivqu< t.t sacrifice of momentary pleas ure and gratification. Self-denial is a virtue of the highest quabty, and he who has it not, and do< s not strive to acquire it. will never excel in any thing. (V»hjX* are*.

I thank you for the opportunity of ex pressing my opinion of the great value of the New American and Annual Cijclopeedia. I own the work and have it with me here, and am in the habit of consulting it every day to my very great advantage. It is most admirable. J. L. MOTLEY, U. S. Min. to the Court of St. James.

BISHOP SIMPSON. Boston, Oct, 25, 1869. I own Appletons’s Cyclopaedia and vse it constantly. It should be in every library, public and private—! would say in every bouse, within reach of every family. The young should use it. J CHARLES SUMNER. New York, Oct. 25, 1869. I use the New American Cyclopaedia every day, genertlly many times a day. I think it the best work of the kind In existence.
