Norwalk, Tuesday, Nov. 12, 1861. TEE EPFECTUAL PRAYER. It was a glorious eve. The moon with all The glittering host of stars, was shining on The earth, as calm and sweet, and beautiful, As if no aching heart,or throbbing brow NO sin or sorrow, pain or death, dwelt here; Each mount and grove, each vale and silver stream, Bathcd in a flood of mellow light, made earth Sccmlikc a fairy land. The sweetness of The scene, alas! served not to sooth that poor Inebriatc’s heart, who threaded sad and lone The then deserted street—it only mocked His woe. Remorse was gnawing at his heart, And agony dwelt there. In keen despair, He leaned against a column—pressed his hand Upon his brow, as if to drive away . The bitter thoughts that ranklcd there—but vain Was the attempt : he could not cease to think— A fortune squandered, ruined name, a sad And broken-hearted wife, and Slightcd pledge Of love, which God had given him, rose up In dread array before his mental gaze, And made his brain run wild. 0! ye who ne’er Ilavc felt temptation’s blighting, withering power, Or never listened to the tempter’s voice, Thank God i but never scorn the fallen one, You cannot know the struggles of his heart, Nor in what form the wily tempter came ; If you‘d been tempted thus, perhaps you might Have fallen too. For hours, long bitter hours, Thatpoor inebriate, his heart all torn And bleeding with conflicting passions, and A dread to seek his home, made wretched by His hand. At length he started on. and soon He entered—sullen and morose, his dark Unfurnished room. He spoke not, for he dared Not look upon his wife and darling child, The victim of his appetite. Softly The mother spoke, “My darling child, ’tis time That you retire." That little one on whose Fair brow, four rolling years had left their trace, Knclt by her mother’s knee. as was her wont, And gazing wistfully into her face. She slowly warbled forth, in tones as sweet As wild-wood birds, her nightly version, And when her little, ruby, smiling lips Had softly said “Amen,” she cried “Mama, May I not offer up one other prayer i" ' “Yes, pray, my own sweet pet,” the mother said; The little angel raised her tiny hands To Heaven, and closed her sunny eyes and prayed, “My Heavenly Father spare, oh spare my dear Papa.” An angel caught that prayer, and here It with electric speed up to the throne Of God. ’Twas heard in Heaven. ’Twas heard on That 1:11.: lSad mother raised her streaming eyes To Heaven, and slowly said “Amen.” “Amen," Burst from the father‘s lips, and his hard heart Became a heart of flesh. He pressed his wife And tender child unto his breast, and said, While tears streamed from his eyes, "My child You‘ve saved your father from a drunkard’s grave, With God’s assistance, I will quafi‘ no more The intoxicating bowl.” That night an altar rose Within that lowly room, whose incense reached The Almighty Throne of God. LETTA. ———-—.¢«>’ CHARLES DICKENS ON HORSES.—I ob- ject totbe personal appearance of the horse. I protest against the convention- al idea of beauty as attached to that an- imal. I think his nose too long, his fore- head too low, and his legs (except in the case of the cart horse,) ridiculously thin by comparison with the size of the body. Again, considering how big an animal he is, I object to the coutemptible delic a- cacy of his constitution Is he not the Sickliest creature in creation? does any child Catch cold as easily as a. horse ?— Docs he not sprain his fetlock, for all his appearance of superior strength, as easily as I sprained my ankle? Furthermore, to take him from another point of view, what a helpless wretch he is? No fine lady requires more constant waiting on than a horse. Other animals can make their own toilette ; he must have a groom. You will tell me that this is be- cause we want to make his coat artificial- ly glossy. Glossy 1 Come home with me and see my cat—my clever cat, who can groom herself l Look at your own dog ! see how the intelligent creature curry-combs himself with his own honest teeth l Then again what a fool thehorse is—what a poor nervous fool l He will start at a piece of white paper in the road as if it were alion. His one idea, when he hears a noise he is not accustom- ed to, is to run away from it. What do you say to these two common instances of the sense and courage Of this absurdly overpraised animal ? I might multiply them to two hundred, if I chose to exert my mind and waste my breath, which I can never do. I prefer coming at once to my last charge against the horse, which is the most serious of all because it affects his moral character. I accuse Iim boldly, in his capacity of servant to nan, of slyness and treachery. I brand Jim publicly, no matter how mild he may .ook about the eyes, or how sleek he nay be about the coat, as a systematic )etrayei‘,whenever he can get the chance, )f the confidence reposed in him. -—-—#~«o» UNCONSCIOUS INFLUENCE—The very 100(11ng of the nursery is significant,and he petulance, the passion, the gentle- ness and the tranquility indicated by it, ire all reproduced in the child. His soul is a purely receptive nature, and that, for a considerable period, without :hoice or selection. A little further on, he begins voluntarily to copy everything ie secs. Voice, manner, gait, everything which the eye sees, the mimic instinct lelights to act over. And thus we have vhole generations of future men receiving 'rom us their very beginnings, and the .eepest impulses of their life and immor- ;a1ity. They watch us every moment, [1 the family, before the hearth, and at the table ; and when we are meaning no good or evil, when we are conscious of xertiug no influence over them, they re drawing from us impressions and molds of habit, which, if wrong , no leavenly discipline can wholly remove ; r, if right, no bad associations utterly issipate. Now, it may be doubted, I hink, whether, in all the aetiveinfluence f our lives, we do as much to shape the estiny of our fellowmen, as we do in the ingle article of unconscious influence ver children.-—Buslmel. .<.>. ._____— pg.- “Wood is the thing after all,” as he man with a wooden leg said, when be mad dog hit him. —————‘<< .>,.___— We can give this advice to the la- ies; that their dresses would wear longer if w cut them shorter. ,of exchange papers every ; which to select enough for one, especially “ 'SgleZtions for ‘a Newspaper. Most people think the selection of suit- able matter for a newspaper is the easiest part of the business. How great an er- ror. It is by all means the most diffi cult. To look over and over hundreds Week, from when the question is, not what shall but what shall not be selected, is no easy task. If every person who reads a news- paper could have edited it, we would hear less complaints. Not unfrequently it is the case that an editor looks over all his exchange papers for something inter- esting, and can absolutely find nothing. Every paper is dryer than a contribution box ; and yet something must be had— his paper must come out with something in it, and he does the best He can. To an editor who has the least care about what he selects. the writing that he has to do is the easiest part of the la- bor. Every subscriber thinks the paper printed for his own benefit, and if there is nothing in it that suits him it must be stopped-—it is gbod for nothing. Just so many subscribers as an editor may have, so many tastes he has to consult. One wants something smart, another something sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and frolic, and another wonders that a man of sense will put such stuff in his paper. Something argumentative and the editor is a dull fool. And so be- tween them all you see the poor fellow gets roughly handled. And yet to nine- ty-niuc out of a hundred, those things do occur. They never reflect that what does not please this may please the next man, but they insist that if the paper I does not suit him it is good for nothing. Canada. Weekly Sentinel. A.-. 3%“ Gen. Hunter, the successor of Gen. Fremont, is about sixty years of age. He graduated at West Point in 1822, the twenty-fifth in rank in a class numbering forty, and was appointed Sec- ond Lieutenant of Infantry. Having ris- en to a First Lieutenantcy, he was, in 1836, made Captain Of Cavalry but shortly after resigned. In 1842 he re- joined the army as Paymaster, in which position, with the rank of Major, the present administration found him. He accompanied Mr. Lincoln from Spring- field on his tour to Washington, as far as Buffalo, where, owing to the pressure of the crowd he suffered a dislocation of the collar bone. Shortly after he was made Colonel of the Third Cavalry and then Brigadier-General. He com- manded a leading division at the battle of Bull Run, but was wounded so early in the day that he reached Washington, travelling in an ambulance, almost as soon as Mr. Russell. He saw no service in the Mexican war, nor in any of our Indian wars. .‘.>... 1?

BISHOP TIMON PRONOUNCES AGAINST Low NECKED DRESSES—Bishop Timon publishes in the Buffalo Sentinel of Saturday a letter addressed “to the honored and pious Chris tian women of the Diocese” upon a subject which he has long refrained to touch,though pressed apparently by Divine impulse, low necked dresses. He discourses at much length upon the modesty of dress, quoting largely from the scriptures on the score of morality, and from the writings of Catherine Beecher, Dr. Ellis and others, as respects health, and proceeds to say: “But whatever may be the sentiment of the learned and the wise, on the danger of low-necked dresses to the health; and what- ever may be our Wishes for the temporal hap- piness of the Christian women in our dio- cese; and whatever our zeal for the sacred mission,which women have to cultivate from earliest youth, and form, as only a mother can, the Christian life and spirit, in their sons and daughters; yet we dare not press upon them, in the relations of society those rules of prudence, when they or their child- ren prefer to wear fashionable low-necked dresses in fashionable circles. But we most earnestly cxhort all ladies, the very young as well as those of more mature age, not to appear in church, 1101‘ aSSISt at Catholic sa- cred functions, nor present themselves for the reception of the sacraments, without having the neck, shoulders, and breast mod- estly covered. And we request all pastors of souls, and all religious ladies engaged in teaching, to use every possible exertion and influence to see that this adVIce be accepted in the Spirit of charity, and of zeal for that which best pleases God, with which it is of- fered.” —————-—--O<<.>-o————— ' ’WThe tax-paying voters of Newport voted Tuesday to authorize the city council to expend not exceeding $75,000 to purchase a right of way for a railroad to the Massa- chusetts line, provided the Old Colony Rail- I‘oad Company will, within three years,build the road and have it in running order.

Two women may be placed in pre- cisely the same circumstances socially, the one will diffuse happiness, the other destroy it ; the one will give a perfect charm to life, tlip other make it almost a curse ; and simply by a diversity of tem- perament producing different results. An ill-tempered, quarrclromc woman is a nuisance on earth. An ill-tempered man is bad enough, but the perpetual “niggle” of a seiii'~tcnipei'etl woman is in- sufferable ; there is a meanness about her irritabilitywhich mengenerally do not p05- sess. A man may swear and behave liken brute—such conduct is as common as daisies in summer, but unless he be some- thing below the level of a bully—and that is low enough—he won’t keep up an incessant small shot charge of hint and innuendo, and pettish rejoinder—for that is the style Of these nettles of the human race, these vegetable blistering plas- ters of humanity—cross grained women. Such women, without having anything of positive vice in their composition, do an immensity of harm ; there is sorrow and trial enough in the world without ill-tem- per addiug to the burden ; a cheerful heart, and a. cheering word of comfort it is woman’s prerogative to bestow, and if Sile‘ fails to exert her pier-og'ative she loses, and deserves to lose, that supremacy over man she is born and des- tined to hold—Tail’s Magazine. .-.-.,_._.. DON’T LIKE INSURA‘NCE. A Califo:- nian has been put through an “adjust- ment.” Yes, verily, he has been ”aver- aged” in the style of one~sidcd sharp practitioners, who figured up amounts ac- cording to order. Finding himself, lucky fellow, not a debtor to the company, as well as a loser of the insured “subject,” he gives vent to his feelings. The spirit constrained him to Speak as follows ; “Insurance is a nice thing—a beautiful system. scl. She got knocked into ‘smithereens.’ Had her repaired under the eye Of the agent. On settlement, they treated me to a treatise on ‘flotsom,’ ‘general aver- age,’ ‘navigatiou,’ and several other sci. enccs. A broker rendered a beautiful document all figured over, and ruled in red ink, and was settled. They first charged me with what I had paid for repairs, then charged it back to the vessel then charged the vessel the difference between what she then was, and formerly was not; then deducted what she ought to have been, charged me back the insurance I had paid, and having, by some error made out a small balance in my favor, they gave that to the broker for making out the papers. Not being a scientific mathematician. I took the doc- ument home, and figured all day on it, and the result stood thus: I had been al- lowod the privilege of repairing my own vessel, at my cost; to pay two notes not half due, and put $75 in Broker Jenes’ pocket for the connection of all the mys- teries of Daboll, simmered down in red ink, and tied up very tastily with green ribbon. It is a very pretty thing—I have it yet; and if I am sentenced to sel- itary confinement in Sing Sing, I want the privilege of taking the document with me.
