A Wife's Prayer. -If there is anything that comes nearer to the imploration of Naomi than the subjoined, we have not seen it:
"Lord! bless and preserve that dear person whom thou hast chosen to be my husband; let his life be long and blessed, comfortable and holy; and let me also become a great blessing and comfort unto him, a sharer in all his sorrows, a meet helper in all the accidents and changes in the world; make me amiable forever in his eyes, and forever dear to him.— Untie his heart to me in dearest love and holiness, and mine to him in all sweetness, charity and compliance. Keep me from all ungentleness, all discontentedness and unreasonableness of passion and humor; and make me humble and obedient, useful and observant, that we may delight in each other according to thy blessed word, and both of us may rejoice in Thee, having our portion in the love and service of God forever. Amen."
