PRACTICAL PIETY.
A petition to a local borough council has, I think, some good points in it. It should be premised that there had been floods, and loss therefrom, and the prayer is this :—": — " That, as your honorable body have not yet been able to devise any means of lessening the evil (and were it to be done by any ordinary means we feel confident your collective wisdom would have discovered the way), you employ Sir John Coode to report upon the subject. That until the evil is remedied you will instruct all clergymen and ministers to
pray for only such a small quantity of r*in as your honorable body feel competent to manage."
