WoMAN'S RULING IDEA.

The Washington States, with view 10 show
that the possession Of style is innate in wo-
man, describes the following scene;
On The last snnshiny day passing in the vi
cinity of newly erected building, we saw a
little beggar girl sitting on pile Of sand. An
old scrap Of sunbonnet partly shaded her hand
some features, and her round shoulders reveal
ed themselves through rag of frock, the ma
terial of which bad bpen a bright gngham: but
lis glow had long passed away. She wore no
stockings, and the bottom Of her dress, which,
through the combined influence of time and
picking up chips, had become irnged, hardly
reached to her knees. Her basket Of chips lay
en- the dirt, BY her side, while, with a flushed
face and excited effort, she was endeavorIng 10
insert part Of an old barrel hoop in the hem Of
her little petlicoat. She worked and tolled;
the hem was very ragged, and the hoop very
wide, and all fail of spliDters. Al last succeed
ing in getting 50 much Of it in as to produce
the 'uecrssary bulge and, taking her basket,
she walked off, swaying her uewly-eXranded
dress from side 10 side, with at least three feet
Of The hoop trailing behind. As she swung a.
way there was such an expression OF sincere
qualification on her face, that, ln spite Of her
ridiculous appearance, we could not help sym
paihzIng with her, and we knew that she was
quite as we'll satisfied as most women are IL
wearing mouse-colored MORE antique, with
poinl-lace nounces, over a patent adjustable
busie expansion skirl'-the latest, and Of course
the most nlexible, of fashionable guises.-
We thought the little beggar girl was not the
only one that felt her design apparent, aad
made vanity virtue and a sentiment.

THE DAY or DAYS. /.

The institution Of the Sabbath, whether re-
garded of human policy or divine ordinance,
IS one OF the most beautiful aud blessed Inheri-
tanceS OF man. IL has divinity IN its adap-
tatIon to the material necessities OF our race
as day OF rest, in which 10 refresh and rrcrs-
ate the wearied energies of the body-but the
higher divinity lies IN the divorce 1t brings 10
the spirit from the pursuit and care OF temporal
and cofFuPtlng things, leading it 10 a ciraFer
aud nearer contemplation oil God, lis relation
TO the lnnlatel lal and lis destiny beyond this
heeting life. lis periodical frequency grasPs the
soul IN firm bonds, aud hemning it around with
associations in union with its acknowledged sa-
creGness, has done more to discipline the mind,
and purify the heart OF society, than all the
problems Of proud and shifting philosophy.
Like the sublime lesson of Christ, the Sab
bath contains the proioundrSt proofs of IFS origin
in the wisdom and goodness OF God in It's COM
mon acceptance by enlightened men, and the
iulness of satisfaction it gives to their souls and
bodily lorgings. Between nations and races
who do not observe the Sabbath, there is drawn
line, on the opposite borders Of which, alike,
rests the evidence Of lis beauty and benefcence.
On the Sabbath side are civilization, intelIi-
gence, industry, art, science, peace and pros
peTity-lnan elevated truly and nobly in the
image OF God. Ga the other side are barbar-
ism. ignorance, superstition, war and misery
man degrading the image OF God.
The Sabbath is not arbitrary nor convention
al, The more inteIIigently it is observed, the
more necessary, harmonious and beautiful it ap-
pears; and It's temporal economy however great,
becomes secondary and Insignificant contTasted
with its spiritual good. Let any man, let any
philosopher contemplate the oblieration of the
Sabbath, and see what a picture society must
soon present. Philosophy tried the experiment
once with one oi The most intellectual and phil
osoPhlcaI of nations, and the result of the trial
tau ght the world that man cut loose from The
Sabbath Is cut loose from God. Atheism itself,
denying God, has euIogized the institution of
the Sabbath as the fruit OF supreme wsdom.-
As members of Christian community, we have
all witnessed and felt the elevatIng influence Of
this Day OF days, and can need no special argu-
ment 10 commend its reYerent observance.

On the home voyage Of one Of our Liverpool

carpenter OF the vessel, one of natures noble

Of some twelve summers. was one Of the first

bGraI service, and attached to his feet grind
stone Tor the purpose of sinking him, commit
trd il TO the embrace Of old ocean. The poor boy,
overcome with grief al the loss OF his natural
protector, sprang overheard, and before he could
be rescued, was beyond the reach Of human
aid
On the day following tie burial, large
shark was noticed IN the wake Of the ship and
aNA was almost calm, the sailors asked permla-
si5H 10 catch il, which was readily granted by
tho captain. Having procured hook and at
tactied a chain aHd line, and bated it with pork,
they cast il overheard, and soon had the excl
