EC0N0Mf.--The amount Of money deposited
IN the Savings Bank Of Great Britain Is over
&2l0uU,0 600 sterling, more than one hundred
millions n dollars This is an enormous amount
OF money, ami Is the savings Of many who have
labored hard, and By pursuing q habit Of strict
economy they have succeeded IN maintaining
themselves handsomely and Laid up a compe-
tency tor old age The question then arises
what IS true economy; In the exercise Of econ
omy it i essential To have good Judgment cor
rect notion Of matters and things Every indi-
yIdual has IN the course of life time to purchase

The General Conference Of Seventh
Day Bapllsts recently issued an address to
The friends Of equal rights and religious
freedom, IN which they strongly deprecate
the attempts now being made TO lcglslate
tor the compulsory observance Of the first
day, as contrary to rhe spirit and intent Of
the Constitution. After quoting largely
from the writings Of Washington, the pro-
csedings Of Congress, anl Judicial decis-
,ons, they say
Ii the Constitution may be infringed
npoa TO put down the observers of the
seventh day, no one can say how long i,
viii be before other minor denominations
nay be put down too. Already attempts
are making 70 exact a confession OF faith,
Unknown to the Constitution, as qualitl-
cation for a legal oath. If the religious
sanctiiication Of the lst day oil the week
may be enforced by statutory requirements,
