From the EaS toni Sen tinsl
A Sabbath Convention,

Has recently been held in Northumberland, the
proceedings Of which we find in the Columbia
Democrat.
Among other proceedings had, we find Me.
mortal addressed to the Senate and House Of Rep.
resenlatives, Of this State, in which the right Of
petition is discussed at some length. They claim
that 1t is not enough that petition, cOuched in
respective terms, should be read aud referred, or
laid on the table. That the right Of petition i'm
plies corresponding right to expect, that where
wrong exist, they should be redressed, in all
matters, affecting their persons, their interest ,and
their conscience.
They represent that if the agents Of the Public
Works require the Collectors and those who have
charge of the locks, and the Officers and Subord.
mates on our other public works, TO perform their
ordinary duties on the Lords day, they will thus
exclude all those, who wish conscienliously to
observe the Sabbath from public employment
That an odiouS monop oily is thus established, and
the emolumenls of public employment are made
the reward of disregard of the laws of God and
of the Commonwealth
The memorial is well prepared, and deserves
consideration at the hands Of our Legislative au.
thorites. This question in all its importance,
has heretofore been presented to our Legislatures,
by large and respectable bodies Of men, and to
US it seems strange that people so highly moral
in feeling, should for so long a time berepresen-
ted in their State Legislature by body of men,
who have never yet, when it was presented to
them, deigned to give the subject enything like
respectful consideration Strange, indeed is it,
that people protesting 10 be governed by moral
and christian principle, should have so long con.
tinued in open violation Of one of the most direct
and explicit injunctons ofthe Bible, "Thou shalt
not do any work" &c. This command we sup
pose was directed to individuals, but it is equally
applicable to governments. Governments are
composed of individuals, and if individuals have
not a right to do any work on the Sabbath, they
cannot delegate it to others.
We believe that the Delaware Division OF the
Pennsylvania Canal, is the only portion of the
State improvements upon which labor is entirely
suspended on the Lords day, and it is certainly
matter Of graduation, to every lover of good or.
der and sound morals to know, that it pays lar.
ger percentage upon its cost than any other branch
Of our State works.

with whom he ended his days, after SER
vice of more than forty years.
This veteran soldier of the wars of Geo.
H., forms perfect study in the picture. -
His tall, attenuated form, and soldierly
bearing, and with folded arms and cooked
hat in hand, respectfully he has approach
ed the bridal group, giving touching in
terest to the whole scene. He is in a scar
let coat, and is booted and spurred, having
just dismounled, and relinquished the fa-
vorite charger of his chief to groom.
Through the large folding-doors of the
church is seen the old-lashioned coach of
the bride, drawn by six horses also the
fine English charger bequeathed to Wash
ington by Braddock, after the fatal field of
Monongahela.
From the account of the marriage, ham
ded down from those who were present at
its celebration, ii appears that the bride
and her ladies occupied the coach, while
the provincial colonel rode his splendid
charger, attended by brilliant corIege of
the gay and the gallant of the land. Such
was Washington's marriage, in 1850

At that moment poor Maxey ventured
to look down; and the snake had unwound
himself; the last coil had fallen, and the
reptile was making for the milk

ed from his chair, and fell senseless into
the arms of one ofhis servants.
In another instant, need it be added, we
were all dispersed; the snake was killed,
and our poor friend carried more dead
than alive to his room.
That scene can never forget; it dwells
on my memory still, strengthened by the
fate of poor Maxey, who from that hour
pined in hopeless imbecility, and sunk
into an early grave.

W'ashingtOn's Marriage In l75:

We learn that Mr.. ]. B. Stearns, dis
tinguished artist of New York, and lately
from Europe, has been for some days since
at Arlington House in that vicinity, enga-
ged in making very beautiful and successful
copies from the original pictures of Col.
and Mrs. Washington, the one the date of
l772, by Peale, and the other of 1859, by
Woolaston, with view to the painting of
large picture of Washington's marriage
found in the Gusts collection, and private
memories Of the life and character of Wash
ington.
The scene is laid in the ancient parish
church of st. Peter, county of New Kent,
a colony of Virginia time, 9th of January
1859.
In the foreground, and near the altar,
appears the Rev. DR.. Mossom, the ofGici-
aling clergyman, in full canonicals /; he is
about to present the marriage ring. The
bridegroom is in suit of blue and silver
lined with red silk, embroidered waistcoat,
small clothes, gold shoe and knee. buckles,

A Gentle Whisper in the Husbands Ear

altogether wrong, and will always keep you on

times, study each others graces and good qualities

in the spirit of meekness and love. The cause
Of all this pickering, and sparrlng, and jarring,
and splitting, and ttcitching and htchtng, is want
oflove, Love covereth multitude ofblemlshes.
Let the heart be filled with love, and the little
faults which now appear mountains, will be swal'
lowed up, or become as mole-hillS. A husband
who is always complaining, and growing, and
swapping, and snarling, is enough TO crush heart

SCRAPS. This world is fishing pond
full of slippery eels and suckers. Some
men are wise and some are otherwise. In
nothing consists the true dignity of man
more than in seli-government. 1t takes

| that turneth one sinner from the error of
his ways, shall shine as the stars forever.
The climax of human indifera nee has ar
rived when a woman don't care how she
looks. The shortest and surest way TO
live with honor in the world is TO be really
what we appear to be. Beauty eventual
ly deserts its possessor, but virtue and
talents accompany him even to the grave.
Men are like bugles, the more brass they
contain the further you can hear them.
Ladies are like violets, the more modest
and retiring they appear the better you
love them. So long as we are among men
let us cherish humanity,a land so live that no
man may be either in fear or in danger of
US. One reason why the world is not
reformed or revolutionized,is because every
man would have others take start, never
thinking of himself. Wise man are instruc-
ted by reason men Of less understanding
by experience; the most Ignorant bynec
ity, and the best by nature.

lis a holy hour. Bright clouds have ca',their
glory for while on earth,but have vanished like
the gentle dew before the rising sun. And yet
their lovlncss was like the things above too pure,
too soft too beautiful to fade. They have seemed
sometimes TO float around our earth in all their

the withoriDg touch which Sin has brought; and

Fearful Encounter With q Snake
SCENE IN THE EAST INDIES

We had been playing all the evening al
whist Our stake had been gold mohur
points, and twenty on the rubber. Maxey
who is always luckey, had won five success
siye bumpers, which lent a we'll satisfied
smile to his countenance, and made US the
losers, looking any thing but pleased, when
he suddenly changed countenance, e,and hes.
itated to play; this the more surprised us,
since he was one that seldom pondered, be-
ing so perfectly master of the game that
he deemed long consideration superhu-
Gus.
"Play away Maxey what are you about
impatienly demanded Churchill, ,one of the
most impetuous youths that ever wore the
uniform of the body guard,
Hush," replied Maxey, In tone
which went through US, at the same time
turning deadly pale.
"Are you unwel !" said another, about
to start up, for he believed our friend had
suddenly been takenill.
"For the love of peace sit quiet" rejoin.
ed the other,in tone donoting extreme fear
or pain, and he laid down his cards. If
you value my life move not.
What can he mean?-has he taken leave
of his sensesl' demanded Churchill ap-
pealing to himself.
Don't start, don't move, tell your in
sort Of whisper | never can forget, Ut.
tered Maxey-'If you make another sud,
den motion am dead man.
We exchanged looks. He continued,
remain quiet, and all may yet be right.
| have Cobra Capella around my leg
Our first impulse was to draw back our
chairs, but an appealing look from the VIC
tim induced US to remain, although well a
ware that should the reptile transfer but one
fold, and attach himselfto any of the party
that individual might already be counted as
dead man, so fatal is the bite of the dead
ly monster,
Poor Maxey was dressed as many old
residents still dress in India-namely in
breeches and silk stockings: he therefore
the more plainly felt every movement of the
snake. His countenance seemed livid
hue, the words seemed to come out of his
mouth without the feature of altering
its position, so rigid was his look, so
fearful was he lest the slightest movement
should alarm the serpent, and hasten the
fatal bite. We were in agony little less
than his own during the scene.
'He is coiling round murmured Maxey.
Il feel him cold-cold to my limb; and
now he tightens for the love of heaven
call for some milk u dare NOT speak loud!
let it be placed on the ground near me, let
some be split on the noor.'
Churchill cautiously gave he order, and
a servant slipped out ofthe room.

hand. By everything sacred do not so a.
