THE GRUMRLERA.


 Pending OE.-There is no use of grum- bling about hard winter in prospect. No such thing. Don't let us borrow trouble. The winter is going to be an easy winter remarkable easy winter-a splendid easy wintcr--for those who are not over head and cars in speculation. Talk about folks living through such terrible hard winter Pshaw We will wager any thing that some rogues will live through it who have lived too long already, and what is more, that the end of it will find more mouths to be filled than its commencement, and more to 6ll them withal. People are not going to be idle, lie down, curl up and die. They have been screwed up long enough, and rather beyond the sticking point. The day of long bills and longer faces is passing away, notwithstanding the croakings ofa few Stand-al-the-corner- --of-the-stTcets-s wi.h- nds-iR-y yoHr- r-brOeches-nen. Be- fore spring, butter wifi go begging at-nine- pence PuuUu HOuT dt s0Von OE elght dollars, and then pay an enormous profit Groceries of ali kinds, beef and pork, will go off at mere nominal price. Indeed many ofthe porkers have already entered into a combination not to be stuck this fall # their owners demand more than five cemts pound. And if our beef dealers don't knock under present pricess their cattle have concluded not to knock under to them. that's, all. . vq
 Sellers have had their turn in feeding on clover. and the buyers will have ,heirs--ai least so says the old prophecies at the foot of AscutRey. High prices and scarcity of money cannot go hand in hand much longer. It is forced and unnatural fellowship, and the connection must be dissolved. People appear to be stsnding without knowing it, upon high, hollow India rubber ball, con- cealed within which are all kinds of speca- latsrs, sticking needles through it for the purpose of making honest people on the outside start and jump up and down. and fall back four feet at every two they rise: Their needles will soon let alf the wind out of the ball, and it will Aaften down, not much to the amusement of those wiihins who must bear the superincnmbent weight, Denend upon it, nlardn. they wili have their tnrn in laughing at the wrong side Oe .hojv IDoushs-so if yOu want your butter eaten just fetch it on, at ninepence | pound, before it gets lOwer.-C Claremons E1gEs.

A WORD TO ALL.

(FTOn the Esse1 Sabbath-schOOI Report. )
 No matter where we stand, whether in church or state-no matter what par:icu- lar relations we sustainin society-no mat ter whether our rank be high or low--one .''hy IS cer'aan; we have something to do n tns work. Our children will be edu- cated' live do not educate them ourselves. others will educate them for us. five do not train them up under our hands. for hap- pIness and usefulness, the enemies of reii- g'on will train them up for for us-for mis- cry and destruction. If we do not see to It that our children be religiotsly educated ri we do not see to it that. they are early taught to reverence the holy Sabbath, to reverence the pure word of God, and to 'mO'be its purifying spirit-if we do not see to It that their minds, at an early age Oe 'mooed with just such principles. and directed by just such influences, as it is the very nature and end of Sabbath school in- struction 10 set home upon the hear,-what will, what must inevitably be the result? What, in future, is to become of our reli- g'ous institutions our privileges, our laws, our t'oerties-what the next generation will be--what is%to be the tone of public senei- ment-who will sway the minds of the peo- pie, who are soon to stand in our places. and give laws~to our land-depends very much, as this audience scarcely need be told. on the interest we now feel for the yonng-on tlle kind and amount of labor we bestow on those institutions which are now making our children what thcy will be when we are gone.
 It has been thought and said by some that Sabbath schools are not important-- that this is q small cause---that the value and benefits of those institutions have been overraied. But what intelligent Chris tian cannot see that this is agreat mistake [, Sabba.h-schools are vastlg importaas.--- This is not small cause. Tho institu- ti"n has not been ovcrrated, at least by us, as our past experience has abundantiy pro- we'd, and as our future experience will still more clearly demonstrate, if we fully s0s- tain our Sabbalh-school cause as we ought to do, either as patriots, philanthropists, or Christians. Our children and youth, let it be repeated, must be religiously educa- ted or sho next generation will be gen. eration of Sabbath-breakers aud infdels. For the religious education of our children we cannot depend on our primsry or clas- sical schools. But on our Sabbath-schools, properly directed, and fully sustained, we may and must depend, in connection with kindred influences, for the moral training. which can alone prepare the young to Do blessings to our country and the world in coming time.
