The FIRST SABBATB-Last Sunday

THE FIRST SABBATH-Last Sunday
our streets were silent aud still in con-
sequence of the law for the better obser-
vance of the Christian Sabbath going
into effect. Our citizens observed it as
we'll as if they had complied with the
commandment. ''slx days thou shall Ia
bor', making tie Sabbath as day of
rest--a perfect God-send to the weary"
The ''sonnd of the ehu. ch gong bell"
was followed by the lone pilgrim thro'
this vale of tears, vending his way with
measured steps to the house of prayer
To outward appearances last Sunday
wasnot different from a New England
Sabbath. We ale told, however, that
some few individuals of the baser SOFT.
not having the fear of the law before
their eyes, did come in by the back way
and MUNICH the indigestibles and moisten
thealimentary passages with villanous
compounds. The same did gas most in
discreetly on matters and things that
should not profane the holy Sabbath.
We are fearful these fellows will die
without the benefit of clergy.

fine opening to miners in search of good
