I n that realm where hear t is, there is the realm of God's answering of prayers; and there he hears us p ray for others, and others pray for as. Arid t h e prayers a re no t instantly answered. T h e answers art* reserved,, because, the multitudes of things asked for have to bo wrought out, and not because Ood. i s indifferent, or wishes t o tantalize H i s creatures.

There is no such, trifling with ua by tho Divine Being as tha t . Bnt if my child asks me for a tubi'ose, though I plant a bulb immediately, and comply with- his request at the earliest possible moment, months necessarily elapse before ho gets the flower. And tho reason why our prayers are not answered a t once, is not because God would: tantalize us, bnt because things for which w e risk are so large, and require snch a development, that there is of necessity a space between asking nnd the get t ing.—From Iieeefier's Sermnnx.

The following sketch of Gen. ThomasA. Davies whichwe take from the New York Herald, will b e found irlteresting to mahyof * oar readers :
, "Gen. Thomas A. Davies, who Has jus t , been made, by the President and senate, a Brigadier General, is a native of St. Lawrence county, in this State. , He entered the military .A&ffirleuiy at "West Point in 1825, and graduated with honor in 1829. He was attached to the Regiment then commanded by Col. 2ktchary Taylor, afterwards oar President. I t was then stationed at Prairie du Chfen, in Illinois where taent. Davies immediately repaired and he remained there with Gen. Taylor two years. He enjoyed in a high degree the confidence of that difltin-guishedomcer, and it was a favorite remark of hisjthat if he wanted anything promptly done and well done he called on Lieut. Davis to do it. In 1831 Lient Davies was ordered back ti West Point to assume there an important military command. In 1832 he resigned from the.jo.rjny. and.engaged in commercial business in this city, as a clerk in the house of Goodhue & Co, Mr, Da-viescontinned in the active discharge of mercantile affairs for abont thirteen years, when he retired from business, and has since continued a resident of this city in private life.
"Although a firm and consistent democrat, and warmly attached to the principles and policy of that party, as was his father, Judge Davies, of St. Lawrence county, and ever yielding and earnest support to its candidates, yet on the publication, of the first message of Jefferson Davis to his rebel Con gross, at Montgomery, Mr. Davies avowed his determination to stand by the Union, and act only with those who would rally to its defence. -When the attadk Was made on our flag a t Fort Sumter, he, in common with our whole pupulation, rallied to vindicate its honor, to avenge the insult offered to it, aud to sustain the Government, the Constitution and the Union. He immediately tendered his services to the Commander-in-Chief, and soon after was elected and appointed Colonel'of the. Sixteenth Eeg'r mont N. Y. V. This regiment was mainly composed of sons of St. Lawrence, frieBds of Col. Davies, or sons of his friends., n e joined the regiment at Albany on the 1st of May, and brought it np to a splendid suite of dicipline, when ho loft jthero with it for the Potomac, about tho close of Juno tot. On the 1st Jnly ho was placed in cornrnatld..... of a brigndo, consisting of tho Sixtieth, Eighteenth, Thirty-first. and Thtety^ecppd regiments N . Y. V.
