docile and playful as kitten. Another is one

the show, in charge Of the elephants. This en-
terprise, the greatest probably since the days o.
the Flood, has been conducted and brought to Q
successful issue by Messrs. Stebbins, June, and
George Nutter. The elephants were hunted and
caught in their native jungles by Messrs. June
and Nutter, accompanied by one hundred and
sixty of the natives. Their capture was effected
by driving two hundred and fifty of them into
q kraul or rude pen, constructed in the jungle,
out of which they succeeded in securing thir-
teen-two having died on the passage and an
other being stolen from the drove. The Re-
gatta has made her passage home, thirteen
thousand miles, stopping at the Cape of Good
Hope and the Island of st. Helena, in one hun
dred and twelve days. The elephant hunters
we're three months and four days in the jungles
before they effected their object.

The SABBATH Day is the poor mans day, and
Christian, Turk, Jew, Gentle, and Mprmon-
all are deeply Interested in its strict observance.
We know not where the following is from, and
we do not care if it has somewhat the air of a
sermon, for it is good, and philosophical, and
true, and on the side of the laborer. But let
us state one thing that is worthy the most seri-
GUS reflection: The fewer hours in the week all
laborasg men ,eork, The higher aoH be The tcdges q
labor. Cannot all our readers believe this We
would argue it for them if we thought it neces-
sary.
THE SABBATH A FRIEND. To Education.
Compare countries with and without the Sab
bath. Its ministrations powerfully quicken and
invigorate the human intellect, while a vast
amount Of knowledge is communicated.
2. To Government. Where are the honored
Sabbath and despotism co-existent? 1t shows
the nature of human rights-adapts laws to
| actual wants and circumstances of men-creates
conscience that sustains laws and qualities
men to make, as well as obey, laws.
| 3. To Health. By promoting cleanliness
by furnishing needful rest for body and mind
by promoting cheerfulness and elasticity Of
spirits through its power to produce peaceful
conscience-by its subduing influence over the
hateful passions of men. !.
4. To Good Morals. By keeping in sight the
character of Colby unfolding the claims Of
her holy law-by creating distaste for unlaw-
full pleasures-by creating public sentiment
that frowns upon immorality-and, through
that sentiment, causing wise and effectual laws
for the suppression of vice and crime.
s. To Piety. By causing right view of God
to prevail-by constantly pouring on mans
mind those great elements of piety, the divine
truths of Revolutionary thus generating all
right affections toward God and manly shad-
owing forth and pointing men to the Sabbath
of heaven, the rest that remaineth for the peo-
pie of God.
Therefore the Sabbath is the friend of the
nation--the family--every mans friend, and
never fails to repay true and devoted friendship
for it with the most precious blessings for time
| and eternity. -L
