Sabbath Observance.

1t is pretty certain that unless we keep
the Sunday holy, we shall soon cease, in any
real sense, to keep it all. We are one of
the busiest nations, on the earth the demands
on our time and strength have grown, year
by year more severe; business or ambition
becomes more and more absorbing. Well
nigh all our other holidays are gone from
practical life, with much hurt both to soul
and body. Great temptations are often even
now held out by hardly-pushed employers to
induce their men to work through the Sun
day. So great, so evidently mischievous is
the wear and tear of life, that the law has
had to step in between avarice and its VIC
tim ; to violate even the aIl-powerful maxims
of the free trade, and to interfere, by con-
troll of hours and various res rictions, in the
"labor market" The spirit of money-get-
ting chafes and strains at the checks i'm
posed by law and public opinion. 1t is not
hard to see what must follow if those re-
straints are discredited and disregarded in
high places. Ii the working classes will
not be content with the Sunday rest, which
is theirs because the day is held to be holy,
they will soon lose it as holidays also. They
will, ere long, be just as much expected to
work on Sundays as on weekdays, and just
as much forced. Every nerve is strained in
the race of competition ;-every week is
scarce long enough to put the weeks work
in. Sunday has hitherto been held by all
but universal consent amongst us as dies
don but this consent is based on religious
obligation. Remove that obligation, and
Sunday will soon be added to our already
too heavy days of labor. The day will be
given only to God or Mammou. 1t is to
be remembered, too. that our reverence for
Sunday is the last token surviving amongst
our masses of respect for positive and GER
moral precept of God and his church. Ought
not those who wish to revive the church
system in its tulness, to preserve with care
this yet living fragment of it? The English
idea of flfty-two Sundays, and next to moth
ing else. True; but ought we not rather to
try to restore the neglected holy days, than
than to secularize those which are still OBJ
served? The English idea of Sunday is,
perhaps, more straightlaced and Puritanical
than has prevailed in Chrstendom in other
times and places ; but if we impair it let us
beware lest we impair also those sentiments
on which the observance of all holy seasons
rests, and break the framework which might
have helped us to construct a more perfect
system,

LADIES SHOULD READ NEwspApERs.-Tt is
one great mistake in female education to
keep young ladys time and attention devo-
ted to only the fashionable literature of the
day. If you would qualify her for CONVEX
sation, you must give her something to talk
about, give her education with this actual
world and its transpiring events. Urge her
to read newspapers and become familiar with
the present character and Improvement of
our race. History is Of some Importance :;
but the past world is dead, and we have
nothing to do with it. Our thought and our
concerns should be for the present world, to
know what it is and improve the condition of
it. Let her have an intelligent opinion, and
be able to sustain an intelligent conversation
concerning the mental, moral, political and
religious improvements of our times Let
the gded ANNALS and poems on the centre
table be kept part of the time covered
with l weekly and daily journals Let the
famly-men, women and children--read the
newspapers.

Perseverance and Faith.

swallow in the spring
Came to our granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make nest, and there did bring
Wet earth, and straw and leaves.
Day after day she toiled
With patient heart; but, ere her work was crowne
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought.
But not cast down, forth from the place she few;
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought,
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand, or chance aglin laid waste,
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again and last night hearing calls,
looked, and 10 +! three little swallows slept
Within the earth-made walls.
What truth is here, man +!
Hath Hope been smitten in its early dawn,
Hath cloud o'ercast thy purpose, trust, or plan,
Have FAITH, and struggle on!

comely face hath Nature, but no heart,
None ARE you sad she smiles. Isyour grief past
And gadness come? Her skies are overcast.
In your chameleon moods she hath no part.
Praise her-your warmest words will meier mpart
A flush the more to her full oveliness-
Flout her, and she will offer you no less,
Flowers, fruitage, and the afluence of her art.
Die, she will send her merrest birds to sing
Outside your window, and upon your brow
Sheds showers of sunbeams, in bright overflow;
Go down into your grave-no cloud will fling
Its shade, in sorrow that your tale is told
She is copely mother, but stone-cod.

Waves her dew-bespangled wing,

Till April starts and calls around
The sleeping fragrance from the ground,
And lightly DER the living scene
Scatters his freshest, tenderest green"

See, the sunlight bright and golden
Battles the distant woodland trees,
And the emerald foliage rustles
Lightly in the morning breeze.
From the wales the dewy zephyrs,
Laden with rich perfume,
Scatter wide their incense treasures,
From the fields of gorgeous bloom.
Down the glen the merry minstrels,
Trill their spirit stirring lays,
Sweeter than the pealing anthems
OF mans less melodious praise.
Murmuring brook and playing fountain
Have a music of their own,
And their soft tones fall re freshing,
On the spirit sad and lone
Incense fields, and flowery meadows,
Breathe freshness on the air
And earth's many voices viii sper-
"There is beauty everywhre! !"

How to Bear Little Troubles.

There is kind of narrowness into which,
in our everyday experiences, we are apt to
fall, and against which we should most care
fully guard. When a man who is in perfect
health has wound inflicted upon him,-a
wound in his foot, cut in his finger, pain
in his hand-he is almost always sure to feel,
even though it be only a small part that is
suffering, and the suffering itself be unworthy
of thename, that the perfect soundness of all
the rest of his body counts nothing; and a
little annoyance is magn6ed into universal
pain. Only IL single point may be hurt, and
yet he feels himself clothed with uneasiness,
or with garment Of torture. So God may
send ten thousand mercies upon us, but if
there happen to he only one discomfort among
them, one little worry, or fret, or Kicker, all
the mercies and all the comforts arc forgotten
and count as nothing! One little trouble is
enorgh to set them all aside! There may
be an innumerable train of mercies which, if
they were stopped one by one, and questioned
would seem like angels bearing Gods gifts
in their hands But we forget them ALL in
the remembrance of the most trivial incon-
venieuce! A man may go about all day
long-dscontented, fretting, out of humor-
who, at evening, on asking himself the ques-
ton, "What has allied me to-day?' may be
filled with shame on being unable to tell
The annoyance is so small and slight that he
cannot recognize it; yet, its power over him
is almost incredible, He is equally ashamed
with the cause and the result.
We may fall into such a state merely
through indifference, and remain there simply
because we have fallen int it, and make no
effort to get out. When a man starts wrong
early in the morning, unless he is careful to
set himself right before he has gone far; he
will hardly be able to straighten out his
crookedness until noon or afternoon--if hap
ly then; for a man is like large ship-he
cannot turn round in a small space, and mus
make his sweep in a large curve. If we
wake up with heavenly mind we are apt to
carry it with us through the day; but if we
wake up with fretful, peevish disconnected
disposition, we are apt to carry that all the
next day too! have comforted myself, and
risen out of this state of mind, by saying te
myself, "Well, you are in trouble; some
thing has come upon you which is painful
but will you let it clasp its arms around you
and shut you in its embrace from the sight
and touch of all the many other things thai
are accounted joys? 1t is well to remember
that there is a way of overcoming preseu
troubles by remembrance ofpresent mercies
The Apostle Paul knew this, and so exhortet
us to look unto Jesus, who, for the JOY
that was set before him, endured the cross
despising the shame" All that Christ hat
to bear, he bore patiently,-he carried hi
sorrow about with him as very little thing
Why? Because of the " Joy set before him!
o, let us apply the exhortation faithfully tc
ourselves; and when we are worried, ant
tempted to give way to vexation, let us seel
relief in the thought Of the blessedness tina
is set before us to be an inheritance forever

IMPROVE THE BETTER PART.-We live in a
mechanical age-an age of wonderful discover
les and industrial progress but in the pur-
suit of those arts which minister only to the
qualification of the bodily comforts man may
be too eager, whilst he neglects the pure
streams Of intellectual and spiritual knowl-
edge that would refresh and cheer the weary
desert of life. We know thanks to the glori-
GUS energy of the
"Teeming, wonder working Press"
that the people are daily progressing in
knowledge that intellect and intelligence
are diffusing widely abroad, and that . taste
for art and love of the beautiful have sprung
up in the cottage, as well as in the hall--in
the humble home of labor, as well as in the
regal dwellings of wealth and luxury. And
we would have the mechanics and laborcrs
who produce the worlds wealth, secure to
themselves the blessings which this progress
in material, moral and intellectual develop.
ment should bestow, which it is intended to
bestow, and which if properly sought and APP.
piled it will bestow, upon every human be-
ing. We would have them more alive to
the promptings of the immortal spirit within
urging them forward to laudable objects Of
ambition. We would counsel all to inyesti.
gate patiently and conscientiously the gifts
and menta powers with which we are persua-
ded, a bounteous Providence has more or less
endowed every one Of us. These powers will
expand by nurture and cultivation, into beau
ty and vitality; and on the other hand they
may be obscured or totally hidden, by neg,
lect and disuse.
