SABbATH.kEEPlNG.
1t is in vain to talk about keeping the Sab
bath, when no efforts are made to bring the
youth and others who neglect public wor:
ship, to church OF that day. Every church
ought to be full, and would be full, ifprofes.
sing Christians did their duty. What is to
prevent them from keeping this matter con-
stantly in mind, and asking each other
through the week 10 90 to church, and then
on the Sabbath going to their house and ac-
companying them there, and showing them
the way TO their seats in the house Of God?
How many protesting Christians never
think Of taking an impeni.snt acquaintance
to church. No doubt many Of the young
men to be seen standing at the corners and
stroling through the streets, or floating a.
7ay on the Sabbath to places ofamusement,
might be led to church, ifthe children of
light were as wise as the children of this
world. How little is there done in the spi.
rit ofthat command, 60 out into the high.
ways and hedges and compel them to come
in, that my house may be full! On the con.
trary, is there not repelling influence of.
ten felt by the stranger when he wanders in.
to aplace of pubic worship; generally the
backs of the audience are to him, and he
meets no one who is ready to open his pew
door and invite him to seat. He feels q.
dashed, and determines that he will not q.
gain trespass On that congregation or ap.
peal to the politeness of its members for a
seat. 1.-THE churches felt an interest on this
subject, corresponding with its importance,
we should see very different state sfthings

But our Lord did not limit his proof Oft

On one occasion, he released an individ.

On another occasion, he met the king of

victim to the grave; and he arrested his
march, and reclaimed the prey. And, on a
third time, he brought Lazarus forth from
the grave, who had been dead four days.
On that occasion, he had Intentionally delay

Cheerfulness is the best promoter OF
health. Repinings and secretmurmurs OF
heart give imperceptiblc strokes to those
delicate fibres of which the vital parts arc
composed, and wear out the machine eansen'
sibly; not to mention those violent !ernlenfs
which stir up the blood, and those mo-
tions which they raise in the animal spirits.
Cheerfulness bear the same friendly regard
t~ the mind as to the body; it banishes all
anxious care and discomfort, soothes and
composes the passions, and keeps the soul
in perpetual calm, keeps up kind ofday-
LIGHT in the mind, and fills it with steady
and perpetual serenity. We seldom meet
with great degree ofhcalth which is not
attended with certain cheetuness, but
very often see cheerfulness where there is no
great degree ofhealth.-Addison.
AMERICAN ENERGY.-A merchant from
New. York was at the London Coffee House
in Ludgate Hill, when the news Of the
great fire which lately occurred in that city
arrived. His premises were totally consul
med, and he found himself as in moment,
n ruined man. His plan was instantly form.
ed. In fifteen minutes rom the time ms
eyes had rested on the paper, a chaise and
four was at the door, in which! he hurried &c
Dover. Arriving in the night he hired 2
steam boat for IS guineas, which soon land
ed him at Calais. Thence he hastened
with all possible expedition to Lyons. He
reached that city eight hours before tho
news of the fire, and employed his time in
purchasing silk goods to such an extent
and on such terms as to secure profit o'
at least f25,00O the destruction being
principally of French silks, and to SO large
an amount as to require more than all the
existing stock at Lyons to make it itgood.

man. suffering woman, here bends under her
dires, aflliction. The measure of her cup,s
in truth full, whose husband is drunkard.
Who shall protect her, when he is her insult
or, her representative shall delight her
when she shrinks from the sight ofhis face,
and trembles at the sound of his voice.
The heart is indeed dark that ne has madc
desolate. There in the dull hour OF md
night her gricls arc known only to herself
her bruised heart bleeds IN secret. There
while the cruel author o.! her distress Is
drowned in distant rcvclry, she holds her
solitary vigil, waiting: yet drcadng his return
that will wiring from her by his unklndness,
tears even more scalding than those shed
over his transgression. To fling deeper
gloom across the present, memory turns
and broods upon the past. Like the recollec-
ton to the sunstricken pilgrim, ofother days,
come over her as if only to mock the parcli'
ed and weary spirit-shc recalls the ardent
lover, whose graccs Won her from the home
of her nfancy-the enraptured father, who
bent with such delight over newborn chill
drcn, and asks if this can really be he?
sunkcn being, who has nothing for her but
the sot's disgusting brutality--nothing for
these abascd and trembling children, but the
sot's disgusting example? Can we wonder
that amidst these agonizing moments, the
tender cords ofviolated affection should burst
asunder? that the scorned and deserted wife
should confess, there is no killing like that
which destroys the heart, that though it
would have been hard for her to kiss the
last time the cold lips of her dead husband
and lay his body forever in the dust it is har-
der to behold him so debasing in life, that
even death would be greeted in mercy.
Had he died in the light of his goodness,
bequeathing to his family the Inheritance Of
an untarnished name, the examples of virtues
that should blossom for his sons, and daugh.
tiers from the tomb-though she would have
wept bitterly indeed, the tears of grief would
not also have been the tears of shame. But
to behold him fallen from the station he once
adorned, from clninence to ignominy-at
homo turning his dwelling to darkness, and
his holy cndcarments to mockery-abroad,
thrust from the companionship ofthe worthy,
Il sclf.branded outlaw-this is the woe that
the wife feels, and is more painful than death,
that she mourns over as worse than widow
hood!

THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.

We receive letters from various parts of the county that the remarks which have recently appeared in paper respecting the partisan course of the School Commissioner meet with general appreciation among all parties. We know that vast many ofthe Jackson party approve of them. One Jacksonan writes" Go on and strip the Commissioner of the disguise of self ishness which he has assumed. Though last year, al the eleventh hour, he came nd joined our stand ard, we all believed that his only object his $l250 oGice." Ano, ,her Jacksonman wri,es-"1 l am glad to friend Beers ge, gentle castigaon- 'tis than he deserves for his shuf1ng, evasve course for two three years past. Though last year profted by his treachery, despsed the traor.' And still another-' Give it to Beers much you please-he deserves it all, and receives commisse ration from the Jackson party In 1883, when we had the power, thought seriously of removing him from his office; but he appeared so humble before the lee eisature that we took compassion upon his poverty and kept him in another year. The next year your party had the power, and he had nothing to fear. In 1885, imagining, every one else did, that revoIu ton about to take place, he was determined not be left in a minority, and came round just in time to save his bacon." We have number of other letters of similar import, but these suffice for this week.
 Prescription of 1835.-The Legislature of 1885, it is well known, was the most proscriptive of any which was ever held m this State. The last Hartford Re- view gives the number foficers which were removed in the different counties, amounting in all 10 SIX HUNDRED AND NlNETY-TWO. Thus, in Hart ford county there l27 Justices and Il Judges of Probate and County Court removed-In New-H Haven, 78 Justices, 6 Judges-ln New-London 58 Justices, 3 Judges-In Fairfield 50 Justices, 6 Judges-In Wind- ham 50 Justices, Judges-In Holland p Justices, 8 Judges-In Middlesex 49 Justices, 8 Judges-And in Licheld 58 Justices and Judges, besides the remoraI o the Sherf in direct violation Of the spirit of the Constitution, and without the shadow of a charge or accusation made against him except that he would not become subservient to the wishes of Perry Smith, C. B. Phelps, and the chain of lawyers which enc rcle this county, and in whose folds they imagine the pso- pie are Gully encirced. Freemen of Li,chfeh Coun- "! are you prepared 10 submit such high-handed ourages upon the rights and privileges of your ellow citizens? Is such Albert SedgsDick, because he will not bow to the behests of Perry Smith & Co.,,
 be sacrificed upon the altar oC party magniy with- redress? Is be- Eorsooh, because he is poor man,
 to be stripped of his ofce 10 give place the rapa- cious ambition of rich naHOb?

 Horrible Plot to Entr0p c Fem0te.- Under ttis head, the Boston Times relates 1he fol- lowing occurrence :-
 "An orphan young lady residing in or near Barnet, Vt., was hespt by Gen. C--n, Formerly candidate for Congress, an office which he did not obtain on account of his gEOss libertinism) with the most insulting proposals These she indignantly rejected, and came to reside with an aunt in Boston. Gen. C-n Went to New York. A young man nam ed McClintock, with whom the young lady had been acquaipted in Vermont. called On her in Boston, and invited her to take ride with him to Worcester on the rail road. To this she consented. On their arrival there, he informed her that he must go to Hartford ; but she strenuously resisted going for some time, then Rnding him determined, and fear ing to return to the city alone, and being without money, she concluded to accompany him. On arriving at Hartford. he informed her that he should take the stage the next morning for Boston; but he deceived her. and took her on board the New Haven stage.
 There he imposed On her again, by pretend ing to take the Providence, when in fact he took the New-York boat. On arriving at New-York she was hastily placed in car riage, when to her astonishment and horror, she found herself in company with Gen. C-n. "Now I've got you." said the monster. She was whirled away to house objectionable fame, and every effort made by C--n to tempt her into the path of dis honor and ruio but she resisted all his efforts and declared she would part with her virtue only with her life. C-n, finding he had gone too far for his own safety, placed her again under charge of McClntock, who start ed with her for Boston. After leaving New Haven, some suspicious were started, and sev- eral gentlemen pursued and overlook them at Hartford. On making known their errand, she jvyfully threw herself on their protection, and has been returned to her friends. Her inhuman kidnapper was suffered to escape, and, as well as his dia5olical employer, still goes unwhipt ofjustice.

PENSACOLA, Feb. 20.

T
 We learn that a Court of Inquiry ordered by Gen. CLfNcH, at the instance of Col. PA RlsH at Fort King, have unanimously acquit- ted Col. P. of all improper conduct in the unhappy occurrence which caused the death ofLieut. Ward. We have examined the pro- ceedngs and testimony of the Court, and are satisfied that the shooting of Lieut.. Ward was melancholy, painful necessity, imposed on Col. P. not only by the rules of military dis cpline. but by still higher principle-the principle of self-preservation. He ordered Lieut.. Ward to be arrested. Lieut.. w. resis- ted the order-used offensive language to Col. Parish, and armed with three pistols, one of them cooked and presented. stood out in open defiance, and declared that he would shoot down the first man who attempted to execute the order. Much of the testimony goes to show that Lieut.. w. was in the act of pre- senting his pistol at Col. Parish when the lat ter shot him. We are informed that much excitement against Col. Parish exists about Tallahassee. but there can be no doubt that, so soon as the facts are made known, the ex- c'tement will give way to unqualified appro- bation of his conduct. In the bereavement winch the family of Mr. Ward has suffered, all must sympathize. and none, we feel assur- ed. from knowledge of Col. Parish, will 1 sympathize with them more deeply than he. The deceased was brother of George Ward l Esq. of Tallahassee.

 Ihe County Meeting.-We would invite tke a,ten. ton of our friends in different parts of the county to the above notice calling County Convention to be held m this village. This call is made in accordance with recommendation of the late State Convention.
 It IS o importance that the electors should be aroused to just sense of their duly Many matters of great interest will doubt be presented to the considera- ton of the meeting; and we presume that all who a,- tend will be highly grat6ed and cheered in their on- ward path of patriotism. The question whether the Commissioner of the School Fund should not be eect- ed 6y te PEOPLE, as also the Comptroller of public accounts, the Sherffs, and other County Off, cers, instead ofhodng their appointments at the will of the Legislature and the County Judges may :hen be discussed and passed upon. It no good reason that because these offices have heretofore been held in the hands of the legislature, that the people should have choice in them. Reform should be the motto inscribed upon every whig banner and upon cry patriots heart.
 There are duties which every individual owes to his country as well as to himself: and among them are those ofhecomng acquainted with the merits and qua li6calions of public appointed to rule over him. We trust we do no, urge in vain when we en- join upon the people of every town in the county 10 come forward upon the day appointed for the County Meeting and show that they possess too indomtable spirit to be down by rude blast of adversi,y Such the feelings of the Wings of '76-Such should be the spirit which anmaes their descend ants of 1886.
