SATURDAY NIGHr.-W What blessed arrangement
this Saturday night again is! How it comes IN,
after another six days work is done, and "winds
up whole week of toll, not only with e night Of
sleep" but reflection that day of rest is to ring
in our ears and disturb our not half rested bones
and sinewsl On any other night one goes to bed
with the comfortless wish that he was "arbed and
asleep and up and dressed in the morning. 1t
may be wicked, but who, as goes to bed of a Sat-
urday night, after long and dreary week of I'M
RENTED labor, does not comfort himself with the
thought that tomorrow morning in his own, and
that he can "lay OFF, and " think of nothing
like the poor fenowwho enjoyed his Sundays SO
highly in going to church and cooking up his legs
and thinking Of notlag.n For oursef we must
make clean breast of it, and confess in all honesty
that we go to bed on Saturday nights with this
feeling. And further, we must confess that the
half consciousness that comes to at the usual
time of getting up" that It is Sunday morning,
and that we can turn over and 20 to sleep again,
is one of the most blissful sensations that is voch
safed to tired mortals. 1t is luxury which they
who work hard can only know, and it almost pays
for all the toll which produces ii. We don't know
but we ought TO get up as early on Sunday morn
ings as usual but we much inclined to regard
the Divine setting apart Of the day, as day Of
rest in its literal sense SO far to indulge in
extra nap on the occasion. Certainly, we accept
it as such, with most thankful heart to the Oliver
Of all Good.--Nashnd Telegraph

SEDAsropooL-A correspondent Of the New
York Herald states that, from conversation with
General Scott, he believes IL to be the opinion Of
that great soldier that Sebastopo will not be taken.
From other sources Of information we have formed
the opinion that in case of failure Of the allies
to carry that place, the army Of the Crimea will be
inundated, as a safe retreat appears to be impos-
sible.
