TIE NiTl1NAL FAST.

The proposed National Fast on the third Of
August, in conucxion with the circumstances
inducing the recommendation BY the President
Of the United States is, saws tie Daily News,
4 fruitful subject for reflection. To such as
can enter into the mysterious laws OF Gods
providence, it IS q matter Of solemn and i'm
pressive import. Gods laws are not as mans
laws. They never change. They are never
liable 10 imI,ElcctiJa. They need no amend
ment or alteration t. suit different countries or
different ages They are " the same yesterday,
to-day, and forever" They arc just and good
and designed for no especial class The rich
and the poor, the proud and the humble, the
learned and the unlearned, the mighty and the
weak, arc all and alike omenabIe fer their yio-
lation. There is no way Of escape for trans
gressors. There is no system Of Baiimcnt by
which the rich can purchase pardon or enlarge
ment. The instruments in heavy burdens, and
10 II he oppressed 90 free, the execution Of the
judgments OF God are never brDcI. Wealth,
power, inilucncc-no worldly distinction can
obtain the smallest grant Of favor, alleviate
single pang, or purchase ausht that is denied
the poorest and ncancst The same laws
which were given to Moses upon tables Of stone
amid the thundcrs Of Mount Sinai, arc those by
which The world is ever TO be governed, tried,
and Judged and nations as woll as individuals
arc responsible TO God for every violation Of
those laws. So also every violation Of natures
laws, which are part Of Gods, brings on its
own penalty. 1t may not come at once, but
come it win sooner or later. II has been re-
marked BY an eminent writer that cxccsscs IN
youth are drafts upon maturcr age, payable in
ten, fifteen, twenty, or thirty years, with com
pOEDd interest. a declaration more pregnant
with the truth was never made. 1t is 50 too
with Gods moral law, every violation is sure
Of punishment
We have abundant reason as people TO feel
inundated in the sight OF God, for eve are
prone T. DO evil, and that continually" We
have been yain-gloTious Of our prosperity, and
have claimed for ourselves the houors due to
the God Of battles. Strong in what we have
regarded as our own might, we have forgotten
God, and it may be, have prosecuted the weak,
For our sins the judgments Of God arc upon u.s.
aud it becomes us to humble ourselves before
Him, that Ills righteous anger may be turned
away, that lis people be not utterly destroyed
The proclamation Of the President appointing
day oi fasting and prayer, has been warmly re-
sponded to, and it is to be hoped it may be kept
throughout the length oud breadth Of the Union
u q manner acceptable u the Supreme Ruler

4 Famiiy Poisoned By an Unnatural
SOMA most revolving and unnatural at
tempt to poison a family OF nine persons
was made in this city yesterday. 1t ap-
pears that Captain Sammons. with his fam.
lily, consisting ofclght or nine persons, was
poisoned by arsenic being put into their
Tea. A woman who was employed as
scamstress in the family, MIR. Hanson, an
engineer, aud three others are dangerously
Ill. Capt Sammons is very sick, but will!
recover.
James Summons, his son, has been ar.
rested on suspicion. He was known to
have purchased the poison last evening"
Young Samnous has Of late led a some
what dissipased life, and il is thought that
his object OF poisoning his father mother,
and whole family, was 10 come into POS
session Of their property, suPposing, doubt
lessly, that their deaths would be attrbut-
ed to the prevailing epidemic.
Capt Sammons is connected with the
Louisville nail line. and has been residing
with his family in this city for about
two weeks.

ADVANTAGES OF LIFE ISsURAScE.-F. A. Hin
ton, well known barber and hair-dresser Of
Philadelphia, who died suddenly last week, had,
according 10 the City Heaa, about year ago,
effected an insurance on his life in the Penn
Company to the amount Of $1,000, which is thus
secured 10 lis widow He had also taken out
policy OF $1,000 in the Pennsy Ivania Company,
by which still more ample provision Is made for
his family. Such cases Illustrate the beneficial
operation of Life Insurance Companies, in
which every man Of narrow circumstances, who
is yet able to spare a small sum from his an
nual earnings, may secure family against want
and suffering at his dccease.
