Sabbath, engaged in instructing their
congregations on religious subjects. /
have also seen several accounts Of
Meeting Houses being struck by light
ming on the Sabbath, while ministers and
people were assembled for religious in
struction and devotion. Also accounts
Of houses being burnt on that day, from
fire having been kindled in stoves or
firepIaces, and thence communicating to
the buildings themselves. Now We log
ical reasoners, just carry out your pro-
found arguments and deductions, and
see whether you can find child of six
years Of age, and Of common sense, that
cannot, when the question is clearly STAT
ed to them, explode the whole in FIVE
minutes. According to my present views,
we are so constituted, that we need
variety Of food for the mind, as well as
for the body. A relaxation from physic-
al labors, seems to inyigorate the ami
NAL department, and prepare it the bet
ter for further Iabors. We are social
beings, and partake ofeach others good
or bad influences. We are moral and
intellectual beings, and if one is better
prepared to impart right instruction,
than others, and will give such instruc-
ton regardless of the obloquy, or frowns
Of the immoral, il is beneficial to people
to convene and listen to these teachings.
An exchange of views, an investigation
of the fundamental principles of religion,
is profitable to all who do not close their
ears to all that is necessary to our own
good, and that Of others. From such,
and from other sources, the mind may
be fed from time to time, so as to keep
it in healthy state. We need res
pite from time to time from manual labor,
and time more fully to feed the mind.
Ifthis is not supplied with wholesome
food, the moral man sickens and dies,
and community groans from having its
remains in their midst | am therefore
in favor Of true Sabbath, but not of
such silly arguments, as are often pre-
scented for IT, Voice of Freedom.

fine sand-paper or emery. ,
The oftener carpets are shaken, the
longer they last, as the PARTICLES of sand
which collect upon them, grind the
threads. Sweeping them also wears
them.
Dry wood will produce, on moderate
estimate, twice as much heat as the same
amount ofgreen wood; and saves much
trouble in kindling fires on cold morn
ings. To suppose that green wood will
; actually cause more heat in burning
than dry. is as absurd as to suppose 6
vessel Of hot water will freeze sooner
than cold one.-Atb. Cult.
