THE SABBATH.

To-morrow's sun will usher in day, which
for more than eighteen centuries, has been hail
ed with reverence and Joy by every people up
on whom the blessed light of the Gospel of the
world has fallen 1t will usher in Sabbath day.
And on that day the various actors in the busy
scenes Of life going on around us, will cease
their daily labors; The tradesman will close
his door and stop his daily traffic; the hardy
mechanic will lay aside his work laborers, law
yers, doctors, all will temporarily interrupt their
business and seek strength and renewed vigor
in the "rest of the seventh day."
Such will be the case, if we believe in Chris
tianity and respect its sacred institutions. And
who is it, that does not feel melancholy pleas
ure steal over him, in the weekly recurrence of
the Sabbath-day! who that does not feel himself
better man, from paying all proper respectto
that holy day? who, that in memory is not car
ried back to the Sabbaths of his childhood? The
tolling of the church bell, with its half sadden-
ing sound, carries us back to the Sabbaths of our
youth and our manhood-to the Sabbaths that
came with their healing peace, when troubles
and Affections were upon us, and when health's
and fortunes smiles cheered us and lumined
our pathway.
Green, in our memory, are the Sabbath-days
that have come and gone. We have not the
PoWeI W IoTSeb tucm anu tuelr oSSOClauOuS, ii
we would.
From the busy scenes around us here, in the
far off country of Oregon-from the hot pursuit
after the riches of the world, its honors and its
pleasures cannot we appropriate one day out of
seven, and forgetting all things else, dedicate
that day to solemn thought and reflection? Re-
ligon has reared its numerous temples in our
midst. Churches of almost every denomination
have grown with the growth of our city, and
strengthened with its strength. Their bells
summon US to church every Sabbath morning,
and we should obey them. Some of us-most
of us-have families,-the long and dreary space
of thousands of miles is between us. And the
summons we disobey, calls to the house of God
our wives and our children, whose devoutest
prayer is for the far-off husband and father
We should not be negectfu of the last promise
to our mothers, to remember our Creator in
the days of our youth" exacted from us as she
shed her last tear at our departure. We cannot
forget that on tomorrow she will be kneelng
at the footstool of God, atd offering up prayer
for the safety of her absent child.
Upon whose mind does not these recollec-
tions rush; and who is not admonished by them
to remember to " keep holy the Sabbath"
[Oregonian.

most intense and painful interest. had to look
man straight in the eye, elicit the soul Of his
thoughts, admonish him, in stream of earnest
remonstrance, of all his wrong doing, and listen
to his feeble apologies. Much was said on the
one side and the other-more than calls for rep
etition. Possibly both derived instruction from
what then took place. lfthe reader seeks NOR

plate himself in looking g-glass. He will there
see that friend upon whom admonition can new

responsive to his own.

THE APPROACH OF SPRING.

Written an LdWyefS OUtce.
Whereas, on certain boughs and sprays,
Now divers birds are heard to sing,
And sundry flowers their heads upraise--
Hail to the coming on of spring!
The songs of those said birds arouse
The memory of our youthful hours,
As green as those said sprays and boughs,
AS fresh and sweet as those said flowers.
The birds aforesaid-happy pairs
Love mid the aforesaid boughs enshrines
In freehold nests; themselves, their heirs,
Administrators and assigns.
Oh, busiest term of Cupid's court,
Where tender plaintiff actions bring
Season of frolic and of sport,
Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring!

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-The Toronto North A.
merican informs us that Cooksville, a village l6
miles west of that place, was almost totally de-
stroyed by fire on Saturday last. So complete
was the destruction that the houses and their
contents, fences, wooden paveuents, and every
thing consumable, within the reach of the flames,
were entirely destroyed; even the embankment
of the old mil-dam, being partly of timber, took
fire, so dry was everything around, and gave
free scope to the water to flow from the dam.
The number of houses destroyed is thirty-four.
The fire ragged for upwards oftwo hours, when
at length storm, similar to the one experience
ed in Toronto, visited the scene of destruction,
the rain falling at tremendous rate qucnched
the flames.

All hope of harmony seemed at an end, and ear
nest men were almost ready to sink down in
despair, and Franklin, as he looked at the paint
ed picture of the sun behind the Presidents
chair, often declared that he knew not whether
it was rising or setting sun. Nor did the sun
light of Gods blessing rise and shine upon their
tolls until the spirit of mutual forbearance and
concession invoked by earnest prayers, came
down and settled on those minds that knew
no harmony while passion agitated and divided
them.

An expedition to explore the South Pacific
left England on the 18th of May The inten-
ton is to explore all the islands between Aus
tralia and Valparaiso, and particularly the Fejee
Islands. Although Capt. Cook and several 9TH
er navigators have touched at these groups, and
marked their position on their charts, yet very
little is known respecting them further than
that many Of them are surrounded with coral
reefs, the land exceedingly fertile and the eli
mate salubrious and also that the natives are ad-
dicted to cannibalism. The expedition consists
of frigate and steam tender, and has on board
n number of scientific gentlemen.

Egypt could have made in a hundred years du-

WINE DRINKING IN FRANcE.-Mr Park Good
win, one of the editors of the New York Epe-
ming Post, who is now travelling in Europe, is
writing letters on the political and social condi-
tion of France, that are interesting. In refer
ence to the wine drinking of the French people
and its effect upon public morals, we quote the
following paragraph -
81 have been now seven weeks in France, and
during the whole Of that time have seen but six
drunken men, three of whom were soldiers, Ghe
lowest class of the people,) one an old benefi-
ciary OF the lnvalides, and the other two | am
sorry to say appeared to be Americans. Yet
the natives Of France Of every age and sex,
drink their light wines at all times day or night.
1t is used by them on nearly all the occasions
that we use use tea, coffee, soda water, spruce
beer and other slops. AT the same time more
sober people, than the great body of French,
does not exist. In England you may see among
the rich men, many who 60 about with great
Bardolph noses, and cheeks like the sun rising
thro' mist (evidence of thousand punished gal
Ions Of strong port,) and among the poor men,,
many who are swollen and stupid with bitter
ale; in our own country too, there are memora-
bic wrecks achieved by the universal love Of
brandy and water; but in France, amidst innu-
merable other excesses, you find few drunkards
Now are not these quite suggestive facts, and
do they not hint to our reformers, whose mo-
tives are doubtless laudable, that there is bet
ter way-the homeopathic way it might be ma
med, of attaining their essential purpose? For
myself, am certain, after my European expert
ence that to repeal our high duties on these light
French wines, or encourage the production and
refinement of our own wines, would have n
thousand fold better moral effect than any direct
attempt to legislate men out Of the indulgence
of their appetites.
An excellent kind of these palatable and
wholesome drinks can be had here for twenty
or thirty cents per bottle, while the ordinary kind
is much cheaper The use of them supersedes
the use of all other kinds of stimulus, and tho
they excite the nervous system into gentle and
kindly glow, they seldom tempt to excess
There is not enough of the intoxicating princi-
pal in any quantity that man can reasonably
drink to produce gross intoxcation. / have
seen on more than one occasion, whole bottle
taken with breakfast, without the least apparent
arrangement of the drinkers ordinary manner
and department. A single dose of brandy, such
as some among us take, imbibed under the same
circumstances, would damage ones intellect for
the day.

ciated by either says; advertising is the great
lever of success with the merchant" He gives
illustrations by hundreds of cases, in which firms
Of moderate business, and comparatively un-
known, have resolved to expend $500, $1,000,
or $4,000, and in some cases as high as $4,000
year in advertising. Their business at once
rushed up to point of prosperity never known
to them before, and in a few years the proprie-
tors retired on prncely fortunes. "This is all
natural enough-all reasonable enough" says
Mr.. Palmer "The newspapers give the public,
far and near, every day information. A mer-
chant can make himself known, and the nature

so impressed with the importance of good air,
that, being very popular in the town of Derby,
once on a market day he mounted a tub, and
thus addressed the listening crowd:
aye men of Derby, fellow citizens attend to
me! know you are ingenious and industrious
mechanics. BY your exertions you procure for
yourselves and families the necessaries of life /;
but if you lose your health, that power of use
to them must cease. This truth all of you
know; but fear some of you do not under
stand how health is to be maintained in vigor-
this then depends upon your breathing an un-
communicating air; for the purity of the air be-
comes destroyed where many are collected to-
gether; the affluvium of the body corrupts it.
Keep open then the windows of your work.

dows of your bedrooms. Inattention to this
advice will bring diseases on yourselves, and
engender among you typhus fever, which is on
ly another name for putrid fever, which will car
ry off your wives and children. Let me again
repeat my serious advice, at least once day.
Remember what say; speak now without
fee, and can have no other interest but your
good in this my advice.

Mr.. Macauly, the romantic historian, has been
arraigned before the public again, for inaccura-
cies of statement in the History of England.
The accuser, in this case, is William +. Aytoun,
ESQ.,, the editor of Blackwood's Magazine, in
the appendix to his late book, "Lays of the
Scotch Cavaliers" The errors complained of
relate to the wars of the Covenanters in Scot
land, which Macauly narrates with feeling of
strong animosity against the government, and
particularly against the celebrated Claverhouse,
Lord Dundee. Mr.. Aytoun defends Claver-
house with zeal, and accuses Macauly of parti-
zan feeling and gross error in his facts.

Why isit, said little girl, to'her play
mate, "that every body seems TO love
NOM better than me-" II do not know,
except it is because l love every body"
That was it, and in vain we seek for
good feeling from others if we have none
for them. A woman talking about the
trouble of unpleasant neighbors, was
slyly rebuked by one who said that she
had never found bad neighbor, she
made them good to her, by being first
good to them. So of good manners;-

who are careful not to be uncivil to them.
Words, however, arc not all that consti-
tute an offence; they may be used in the
most cautious manner, and when charg-
ed with i'll breeding the offender may in
deed affirm that the language used con-
tained nothing contrary to the rules of
good manners. This may be strictly
true, and yet the manner of saying the
words may be quite disrespectful, and
hurt the feelings as much as words could
have done. George Washington speaks
in his maxims of good conduct, of a re-
spectfM demeanor, towards our associ.
ates, and to let every one have due
share Of respect Intimacy is very apt
to produce indifference in this respect,
but that friend who is treated as if he
deserved respect, will always longer re-
tain your esteem than the one TO whom
you have been less careful. Il.
