SABBATH PUBLIC WORSHIP.

day as when it was first given to mon -
"Thou shall keep my sabbaths and rcver.
encc my sanctuary"
2. This neglect puts ono in direct con-
trariety of character and habit to all the
wise and good men mentioned in the Bible,
from Patriarch to Apostle.
3. And it puts him out of the company
and fellowship of the great body of tho
wise and good from the Apostolic days to
ours.
4. 1t throws him out of the reach of in
fiucnccs emincntly suited to stimulate his
intellect. and excite and crafty thirst for
knowledge, and thus make him q ayiscr
man.
S. And influences for making him Jet-
ter man, Christian and religious man, are
lost by this neglect, which influences are
among the most precious and effective that
can be found in our world influences ap-
pointed by Infinite Wisdom, and most de-
voutIy acknowledged as good by all Chris
tian people.
6. This neglect of public worship strikes
IL fatal blow at the Sabbath itself, which
must inevitably sink, uns,,staincd by this
powerful agency in promoting due reverence
for it.
Z. This neglect is painful to all who are
sincerely desirous of seeing God glorificd
in his own institutions, and the best tempo
raj and spiritual good Of men promoted.
8. And said neglect gives countenance
and comfort to all persons wishing to cast
OFF religious restraint ard live reckless OF
all laws, human and divine.
0. Neglect Of public worship shows a
light estimation and leads to disregard OF
one OF the most efficient Of all agencies Of
cnlightcning the public conscience, of i'm
parting the most important of NIL knowl-
cdge--the knowledge of God and divine
things-of sustaining the general interests
of education, law and order among men,
rcpressing crime, and advancing virtue.
Certainly, then, most heavy response
bility is assumed by all persons who indulge
themselves in the neglect of the public
worship of God.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE SCRIPTURES

1t is reported that the New York Billie
Society is meditating the plaE of publishing
the Bible in newspaper form for more gene.
raj circulation. This plan, though novel in
our day, was partially adopted in past times,
sy the printers Of some of the English pa
pars. When newspapers were first estab-
llshed, they were quite destitute of adver-
tlsements, and nothing was more common
than for papers to be issued with a blank
page. The first newspapers printed in
America had only three pages of reading
matter, as there was not foreign or domes-
tic news enough to fill out all the columns.
In England, after awhile, new method
was adopted to fill up the space not re-
quIred for the current news, by publishing
selections from the sacred Scriptures, and
many an old newspaper is now cxtant with
whole page copied from the Bible. Chap
tiers from the New Testament, were placed
at the head Of the column, and the space
below was filled out with psalm of the
required length. In the period which this,
to us, novel proceeding was resorted to, in
order to fill out the newspaper, the Bible
was not so common or so cheap as at pres
ent, and doubtless much good resulted
from the practice. What would some of
the subscribers to our popular journals say
if their favorite sheet was to appear with
seven or eight columns selected from the
Scripture? Doubtless in some quarters,
even in our day, extracts from the Bible
would be news indeed "-Boston Tran
scripk.

LIABILITIES TO DEATH BY LIGHTNING

+. Merriam, The philosopher Of Brooklyn
Heights" writes to the Now York Journal
Of Commerce, as follows:
in some years, more persons are killed
by lightning than in others. The year $40
had the tewest, and ls45 the most, in any
one year in term Of thirteen years.
In the month Of July, 1854, we recorded
thlr.y-ninc deaths by lightning and thunder
storms, within the field of our research, OH
twenty-seven of the thirty.one days of that
month.
Our record in the last fourteen years gives
an aggregate Of seven hundred and fifty
deaths by lightning on the land, one only
OF whom WAS killed in building furnished
with lightning conductors, and that one in
the summer of 1856, at Little Prairie, Wis
consln. In relation to this death, we have
had considerable correspondence with the
person who put up the conductor. There
were three buildings burnt by lightning
which were furnished with conductors, last
year-ono was barn in Wcstchcster coun-
ty, another dwelling house in Richmond,
Va, and the other the house of Mr. Van
Rensselaer,, in st. Lawrence county, New
York.
Our records continue to witness that in
no case has there been loss of life by light
ming in STEAMBOATS,, railroad cars, iron ships,
iron buildings, vessels furnished with metal
lie conductors, or building furnished with
lightning rods, with the exception of the
house at Little Prairie, Wisconsin, named
above. Mute testimony, but conclusive,
that metals are not dangerous, and that
lightning conductors afford protection to
life.

DOMESTIC PIETY.

If there be one curse more bitter than an
other to man, it is to he the offspring of an
irregular home; Of home where the voice
OF praise and prayer ascend not to God, and
where the Ties cf human affection arc not
purified and elevated by the refining influ-
encc Of religious feeling; Of a home to
which, if the cares or sorrows of life shall
bring religion to the heart in after days,
that heart cannot turn without bitterness
of feeling, without anguish and ycxation
OF spirit. If there he curse to any coun-
try where the truths of religion are known,
the deepest and Lttcrcst curse which can
be inflicted on it is multitude of homes
like the one which have supposed. Such
homes send forth their sons unchecked in
evil thoughts, unllallowed in their habits.
and untaught in love of God: the name
and cross Of Jesus Christ stamped on their
forehead, but not written in their hearts ::
and they send them forth to prey upon the
land, and to become its curse and destruc-
ton. But on the other hand, there is a
blessing to the religious home which no
tongue can describe. The home wtere in
early years the heart is trained to love of
God, and to take pleasure in his worship
and service, interviewer with the existence
of many holy affections which die not with
the circumstances that gave them birth
which last long, though they may be for n
season forgotten and neglected, and which
shall exercise at least some check upon the
evil Of the human heart, and often, may,
commonly, recall it to hear again the word
of God, and turn to the paths of holiness
and peace. How great, low unspeakable,
is the happiness Of n land where homes
like this are common.-Rev. II. j. Rose.

NEWSPAPER BYLAWS.

A cotemporary lays down the following
pithy code Of newspaper bylaws. They
are the best we have seen drawn up:
I. Be brief. This is the ago Of telegraph
and stenography.
2. BE pointed. Don't write all around q
subject without hitting it.
8. State facts, but don't stop to moralize
It's drowsy subject. Let the reader dc
his own dreaming.
4. Eschew prefaces. Plunge at once into
your subject, like a swimmer in cold water
s. If you have written sentence that
you think particularly fine, draw your per
through it. A pet child is always the worst
in the family.
8. Condense. Make sure that you really
have an idea, and then record it in the short
est possible terms. We want thoughts il
their quintessence.
2. When your article is completed, strik.
out nine-tenths of the adjeetives, The En-
glish is strong language, but won't bea
much inducing"
8. Avoid all flown language. The plain
est Angio.saxon wares are the best. Neve
use stills when legs will do as we'll.
Q. Make your sentences short. Ever
period is a milestone, at which the resde
may stop andrest himself
10. Write legibiy. Don't let your man
uscipts look like the tracks of spide
half drowned in ink. We shan't mistak
anybody for a genius,> though he write a
crabbedly - Napoleon. y" ~,

Study V -Munkind-In order to love
mankind, expect but little from them; in
order to view their thoughts without bitter-
ness' we must accustom ourselves to pardon
them, and to perceive that indulgence is a
justice which frail humanity has right to
demand from wisdom. Now, nothing
tends more to dispose lis to indulgence, to
close our hearts against hatred, to open
them to the principles Of humane and
soft morality, than profound knowledge
of the human heart. Accordingly the
wiscst men have always been the most i'll
dulgent.-

Use IMnutes.-It is asked, says Chan
ming, how can the laboring man find time
for self-culture answer that an earnest
purpose finds time. Selling on spare mo.
ments, it turns fragments into golden &C
count. a man who follows his calling with
industry and spirit, and uses his earnings
economically, will always find some portion
of the day at his command. And it is as.
tonishing how fruitful of improvement a
short season becomes, when eagerly seized
and faithfully used. It has often been Oh.
served that those who have the most tine
at their disposal, profit by 1t the least. A
single hour in the day given to some inter.
esting subject, brings unexpected accumula.

C""rfesy.-No man is gentleman, who
without provocation, would treat with in
cIvllity the humblest Of his species. 1t is
Il vulg"rity for which no accomplishment
or dress can ever atone. Show me the
man who desires to make every one happy

Il To"chiny Mcidcnt-The saddcst story
that we ever read was that of little child
IN Switzerland, let boy, just as yours
is, reader, whom his mother, one bright
morning, rugged out i'll a beautiful jacket all
shining with gilt and buttons, and gay rs q
mothers love could make it, and then per-
n'tted him to go out to play. He had
scarcely stepped from the door Of the Swiss
Cottage, when an enormous eagle scooped
him FROM the earth and bore him to his nest.
high up among the mountains and yet with
in sight Of the house Of which. he lad beer,
the Joy. There he was killed and deyoured,
the cyiic bcng at a point which was liter
ally inaccessible to man, SO that no relief
could be afforded. In tearing the Child to
pieces, tic eagle SO placed his gay jacket
in the nest that it became fixture there,
and whenever the wind blew it would flut
ter, aud the sun would shine upon its lovely
trimmings and ornaments. For years it
was visible from the low lands, long after
the eagle had abandoned the nest. What
a sight it must lave been to the parents of

A WARNING.

A few weeks since, in the course of con-
versation with an eminent broker, who has
been forty years acquainted with the lead.
ing moneyed men of the country, we asked
if lie ever knew a schemer, who acquired
money or position by fraud, 10 continue
successful through life, and leave fortune
at death. We walked together about three
minutes in silence, when lie replied: "Not
one! have seen men," lie said, "bccome
rich as if by magic, and afterwards reach
a high position in public estimation, not
only for honor and enterprise, but even for
piety, when some small circumstance, of no
apparent Importance, has led to investiga-
tions, which resulted in disgrace and ruin"
On Saturday we again conversed with
him upon the same subject, and he stated
that since our last interview he had extend
ed his inquiries among large circle of
acquaintance, and with one solitary ex-
ception, and that doubtful, their expert
ence was to the same effect as bis own
He gave brief outline of several small
and big schemers, and their tools, their
rlse and fall. Suicide, murder, arson, and
perjury, he said, we're common crimes with
many of those who made "haste to be
rich" regardless of the means; and, he
added. there are not few men, who may
be seen on Change every day, ignorantly
striving for their destruction. It is not, he
said, so much the love Of gold that leads
many business men astray, as the desire to
be thought sharp or successful. He con.
cIuded that fortunes acquired without hon.
