GEN. CAss ON SUNDAY ScnooLs.-The
venerable patriot and statesman. Gener.
al Cass, having been invited to address
the Michigan State Sunday School Con-
vention. thus writes :-It "; il afford me
pleasure to accept your invitation. lap
prcciate the importance of our Sunday
Schools, and consider their institution
among the most valuable and eficien.
means Of religious improvement that
have come in our day to encourage the
noble efforts which are making to amel-
iorate the moral condition of the world.
And no rejecting man can look abroad
on the dangerous and delusive vagaries
which. under the name of religion, take
possession day by day Of the hearts and
minds Of men, leading to individual aud
social depravity. without being deeply
impressed with the importance Of zeal
Gus and concentrated exertions to check
this great and threatening evil. And
it can best be effectually checked by
training the youthful minds in the knowl-
edge Of God and the truths of His reve-
lation. Standing on this vantage ground
the battle may be fought and won. And
l for one, believe the contest to be one of
the most momentous which society has
ever been engaged in, and the Sunday
School tuition of the youth an assured
means. under God. OF eventual success.
So believing, my prayers and best wish
es are always With YOU.

THE MARRIED LAWS SHAKES.

THE MARRIED LADY's SHARES. 1--WE
were decidedly amused the other day,
at a singular case of "shakes" which
happened in private family. A young
gentleman arrived but a few days since
from the East, and went to visit here, q
family whom he had been intimate with
East. Having formerly known the lady
of the house as buxom, rosy lass, he
was surprised to find hor pale, attenu.
ated being. Like most Eastern folks,
believing that the fever and ague was a
common complaint here, he at once con-
cluded she was victim of the "shakes. -
and so expressed himself.
There" says he. "you have got the
shakes. l know. 1t is too bad. You'll
never get over it. 1t always makes a
person thin and pale as DEATH"
So he continued, condoling with the
lady on her having caught the shakes,
when her husband who was by and had
heard it all, beckoned the young man
into an adjoining room. where there was
