MISCELLANY.
Relations of the Sabbath.

In an admirable discourse by President
Hopkins on 1.-The importance of the Sab
bath to the purity and perpetuity Of free
institutions" he says:
The Sabbath is not, as many seem to
suppose, an institution slightly connected
with the other arrangements OF God. 1t
may seem so at first. but trace its conn"c
tions, and You will find it inSeparably blcn
ding with the arrangements Of God for the
elevation and wellbeng of rnan. Its law
Of rest is instampped upon the physical or
ganzation Of all beings capable Of labor,
whether of body or mind, and in its sim
plisity and variety of adaptation, like the
air, and the light, and the water, it bears
the evident impress of the hand Of Cod
How simple, and vet while it meets the
wants of the exhausted animal, how evident
ly was il "made for man" in all conditions,
and in all his relations.
How perfectly is it adapted to the labor
ing man in his toll, to the young man in
his temptation, to the business man in his
perplexities, to the scholar in his exhaus-
ting process Of thought, and to the state
men as bearing the bur,hens Of public life
How is it adapted to families consecrating
home, and giving opportunity for family
instruction how to communities, as the in
dividuals composing them are related at
once to each other and to God, and as need
ing opportunity both for private and public
devotion How does it blend the social
and the religious nature of man, and fit him
for Social heaven! How is it related to
the Bible, as book Of inquiring study, and
to time for to study! How does it connect
man with the past, by constantly remind
ing him of that great event which it com
memorates how with the future, by its
glimpses and foretastes ofthat heaven which
it typifies. Kept as Gods command. it
would improve the individual man physi-
,cally, intellectually, morally. In his social
relations it would secure purity and har-
mopy; in his civil relations security and
freedom. 1t would unite man to man, and
!, all men :e'eod. Surely, whatever he may
a1ifefa, be who fights against the Sabbath,
: btsthe best interests of his race, and
81 ,th9st God himself

TIE HYESA SroRY-The C}caveland
Plaindealrr, Il few days since. published an
account of the escape of a hyena, in Paul
ding county. The last number Of that pa
per furnishes following corrections:
"A few errors occurred in our notice Of
the escape Of the hyena, in Paulding coun-
ty, the other evening. In the first place, we
are reliably informed that Pofienburg wasn't
killed by the monster no injured indeed, at
all, because the monster didn't get out of
his cage, an'l could not, therefore. have done
it. We were also misinformcd about the
monsters being in Paulding at all. He
| isn't there now. never was there, and it is
firmly believed never will he again. Mr..
Gaming isn't wintcring his collection Of
living wild animals in Paulding this winter,
and IN fact never has wnterel them there
during any previous winter. We may say,
indeed that we caD't swear at this time that
Mr.. Gaming has any living wild animals any
where. With the exception of these few
slight errors, our account of the escape Of
the hyena was strictly correct. As slight
testimonial Of our esteem for the man who
gave us the item in the first place, we here
by solennly promise to write his dying
speech when he is hanged, as he eventually
will be, beyond the slightest doubt. :.

And many heart been broken; 20,
For want of gentle hand set forth,
Or word in kindness spoken.
Then. oh! with brothc,lv regard,

So from each tone of love his heart
New hopes new strength shall borrow.
Nor tnrn-with cold aud scornful eye
From him who hath oircndcd;
But let the hnrShncSs of repruof
With kinIcst tones be blended.
The s"c,ls Of good are everywhere,
And in the guilclcss bosom,
Sunni by the qnckcning rays of love.
Put forth their tender blossom
While many a soul hath been
