ACCUSED OF SABBATH BREAKING
The London Punch is rather sarcastic in
its treatment of those who labor so perse-
veringly to secure proper observance of
the Sabbath. He appears to think that
the popular idea on this subject predispo-
ses that Nature is an ungodly institution,
and that the powers which govern her op-
erations have no respect for "the Lord s
day." Hear him:
"But it is equally clear that the flowers
of the field, the woods, and groves, if they
are to be seen on Sunday, must also ope-
rate to the allurement of mankind from
their homes on the day of rest The So
ciety for the Promotion of the Due OBJ
servance of the Lords Day, therefore pro-
poses to purchase an unlimited quantity of
drugget, to lay down on Sundays over the
carpet of the meadows, the hills and dales;
and as much black Grape as may be need
full to be made into wells for the trees and
other beauties of nature They say that
if the horse chesnut trees in Bushy Park
were thus yelled on Sunday, it would pre-
vent much of the desecration of that day,
which they now cause by being out in
bloom.
According to the Albany Knicker6ocker,
many pious people use the day to promote
melancholy, while the bigots generally i'm

IMPORTANT to Miners, Trarelers, 6,


There is no malady of deeper Importance
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life and his sole object should be TO mti--
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
tering. Human nature at best is but frail all
are liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of Il private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it,
trightful as are its rayages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose respectabiity and education
enables him to warrant a SAFE speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this neeessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state

HEARTs.-Let us never, my editor, ac-

Most people have hearts, in their way
quirements of our time make us suspicious
of each other. Mere style and courtesy
pass so current for feeling, that we become
apt to question the existence of feeling
There are so many counterfeits, that we

OI course no Iaull Was iOuHo'
GETTING Manufacturing the last
summer, little incident transpired in one
of the mining towns which afforded some
fun, and furnished food for considerable
gossip thereafter. It occurred in the
church on one of those quiet afternoons
when all the world seems ready to drop
asleep; when the flies buzz lazily on the
window-p -panes, and the dog lies on the
door-stone.
The afternoon service had ended, and
the congregation were arranging them
selves for the benediction, when, to the
great astonishment and the manifest in
terest of the worshippers, the good parson
descended from the pulpit to the desk be-
low, and said in calm clear voice:
"Those wishing to be united in the
holy bands Of matrimony now come for
ward"
Still no one stirred. The silence be-
came almost audible, and painful sense
of the awkwardness of the position was
gradually spreading among those present,
when young gentleman who had occu-
pied vacant seat in the broad aisle du-
ring the service, slowly arose, and delib-
erately walked to the foot of the altar
He was good looking and well dressed, but
no one present seemed to know him, and
no female accompanied his travels When
he arrived within a respectable distance of
the clergyman, he paused, and with a rev.
erent bow, stepped to one side of the aisle,
but neither said anything nor seemed at
all disconnected at the idea of being mar
ried alone. The clergyman looked anx-
iously around for the bride, who he sup
posed was yet to arrive and at length re-
marked to the young gentleman in an un-
der tone:
The lady, sir, is dilatory.'
Very, sir
Had we better nor defer the cere-
mony?'
I think not, do you suppose she will be
here soon ?
Me, sir ? said the astonished shepherd,
how could I know of your lady's move
ments? That is a'matter belonging to
yourself.
A very few moments more were suffered
to elapse in this unpleasant state of expec-
fancy, when the clergyman renewed his
interrogations
Did the lady promise to attend at the
present hour sir?
What lady,?
"Why, the lady that you are waiting
here for
I did not hear her say anything about
it, was the satisfactory response.
Then, sir, may / ask you why you are
here, and for what purpose you triAe in
the sanctuary of the Most High 2 said
the somewhat enraeed clerical.
q came, sir, simply because you invi-
ted all those wishing to be united in the
holy bonds Of matrimony to step forward,
and [ happened to entertain such wish.
| am very sorry to have misunderstood
you, sir, | wish you a very good day.
The benediction was uttered with
solemnity OF tone very little in accordance
with the twitching of the facial nerves
and when, after the church was closed,
the story got wind among the congrega-
ton, more than one girl regretted that her
wishes had not been as boldly expressed as
was the young gentleman s. who had really
wished to be f" united in the holy bonds Of
matrimony"
