The Marysville Democrat, in an article, " Soc- /
city in the Mines" makes the following alusion !
to the vice of gambling, and the manner of sup
pressing it:
Every decent and respectable man in the
mines ought at once to do his utmost toward set
ting this leaven in the community to work. Par
ticularly ought such state Of public opinion to
be aroused as would drive out that monster vice
of all vices in this country, gambling. This vice
has been the great curse of the gold seeking
classes. 1t has destroyed its thousands. 1t has
turned youthful heads prematurely gray with
sorrow and disappointment 1t has robbed in
single night the hard-workiug, but momentarlly
infatuated, miner of the accumulation of months
or years of honest toll in the mud and rain and
snow, or in the weariSome caverns under ground.
1t has taken the gold which was to feed and sue
cor the innocent and the he pless. 1t has given
to the vilest of the vile and the lowest of the low
the comparatively little, but really great, sum
which was to redeem the mortgaged homestead
and preserve the sacred roof tree over the heads
Of the trusting, hopeful ones at home. Ithas dug
the grave of the once happy, and enterprisng
and industrious, and sent darkly down the tide
of ruin the young, the gay and the thoughtless'
WXTER-There is nothing lovable in winter,
with its rude blasts, pitle5s cold and drepchng
showers To those who are well and comforta-
bly, housed, with bright fire to sit by, and all
the accompaniments Of q pleasant home, The rag
ing storm without may sound only as pleasant
music winter has 20 terrors for them. But, how
MANY are there who, even as we write. may be
exposed to all the ineimency Of The Implying
elements who have neither home nor shelter,
and are without friends All how hard and
dreary is their lot for perhaps, to them has come
winter of the heart, as well as the freezing
colds aud drenchiug rains which mark acupgcu-
ial season. We never hear the rain dropping on
our roof but we think of the unhappy uusheltcrcd
ones who may be exposed TO its sweeping show
ors, and even imagine we can hear their signs
bourne on the passing breezc-6oRora H@ala.
TEE DAY OF REST The Sabbath Is ihe Oldest
institution for man. 1t was founded by God
himself and our physiological construction is eT-
identity peculiarly adapted to It's observahce.-
We are so formed that seasons Of rest are abeO-
lutely required for tbe invigoration and healthy
condition of the human frame. Whether this law
Of nature is inherently placed Ia the mind Of
man, or whether il has descended in the course
of long lost traditions to the various races now
upon the globe, it is impossible to say but that
customs exist, and have ever existed among
them, analogous to our Sabbath, requiring a rest
or secession from labor one day in seven !. as inn
possible 10 deny. Physiological authorities are
decided and emphatic in maintaining the abso-
iute necessity Of devotng al least one seventh Of
the time to rest for al men and for all domestic
tabornP administration any observance of this
law Of nature the constitution is gradually I'M
darmined and disease or decay supcrveDes.-C0-

TIE WRoyGs on THE PooR.--Who Is there now,
as in times Of old to sing Of the wrongs Of the
poor of the heavy burdens under which they Ia
boF of The miseries tley endure? All what
need have we. in this fast world Of ours, Of heed
ing tales Of bitter woe, of heggard wretohedncss,
and heartburning wrong ? 'Iis none Of out bus
ilcss, says the cold, selfish world, and they are
forgotten How little do tie deYOiCts Of u a1E-
Ieck what happens to the poor The gllded
halls Of luxury have more claims on their attcn-
lion than the miserable novels where poverty
holds undisputed sway.-SoAora DeHocfut.

ls very atmosphere is rebI6e to The habitual
desponder its every day history gives the fat
test contradiction to his baleful uugures and his
repeated discouraging assertions. Let us look at
the facts. 1t is true that we are not in the Whirl
Of excitement now, that characterized 1S49 and
1850 but we have greater steadiness, greater
evidences of permanent prosperity, more set
tied and established public opinion. Men do not
make vast fortunes now, then, in a single day
neither are they ruined in Il single hour, as fre-
quently happened at that time, Our business
firms do not embark in wild spocuatons with the
same recklessness they did until 1854 neither
do we hear OF the wreck and crash of house af-
fer house, falling in regular progression like Il
row Of bricks. Business is not conducted now In
the same loose and eXtrayagaut style that char
acterzed the earlier years Of our history, but
has settled down into a regular system, a WELL
defined and universally received plan, akin to
that which obtains in those countries with which
we have commercial intercoursc.-EQA F1antts- I
