SHALL THERE BE REST FROM POLL TICS
ON SUNDAY.

The New York Ezpress, an opposition pa
per, speaking of the late convention held at
Columbus by lot of political clergymen, fam
atics and negroes, says:
From Ohio we have tap of the election
drum, preparatory to the coming presidential
election. Certain priests, constituting them
selves hierarchy, have assembled there in
state convention and, forgetting the Scriptur-
al iajunction-.Render unto Caesar the things
! that are Caesars, and to God the things that
are Gods" are preparing over again the Ere
mont clap-trap of 1854. The experiment made
then, and the failure of it, have had no effect
on them, it seems, and they never can learn, it
would appear, that politics is not the business
of the priesthood.
In 1854 hundreds and hundreds of people
staid away from the churches on Sunday in or
der to have rest from politics on that day
Many of these hundreds openly said, that if ON
the Sabbath they must have politics, they pre-
ferred the politics of the bar-room to the poll
tics of the pulpit Hence in many places the
churches were comparatively deserted, while
the bar-rooms were crowded.
Now in 1860, if the Sabbath is thus to be
dcsscrated, or the men who provided and
paid to serve God, not only on the Sabbath but
on the other days,-thus continue to desecrate
that Sabbath, and to prostitute their holy call
ing, it is quite clear the day Of rest will not
10 wholly given to them for political haranguls
but that others not consscrated will harangue
on that day too, in imitation or refutation.
A great effort is now making among good
men for the better observance of the Sabbath,
and we call their attention to these incipient
efforts of the priest Sabbath breakers.

NEVER DO TOO MUCH AT A TIME.

Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, in lecture re-
Gently delivered in England, gave the follow
ing history of his literary habits: Many per-
sons, seeing me so much engaged in active life,
and as much about the world as If had never
been student, have said to me, "When do ye u
get time to write all your books? How on earth
do you contrive to do SO much?" l shall sur
prise you by the answer l make The answer
is this contrive to do so much by never do
ing too much at timel A man, to get through
work WELL must not overwork himself; or, if
he do too much to-day, the reaction of fatigue
will come, and he will be obliged to do toolit-
tie tomorrow. Now, since began really and
earnestly to study, which was rot till i had left
college, and was actually in the world, I may
perhaps say that have gone through as large
course of general reading as most men of any
time have travelled much and have seen
much I have mixed much in politics, and the
various business of life and in addition to all
this, have published somewhere about sixty
volumes, some upon subjects requiring much
research. And what time, do you think, as q
general rule, have devoted to udy-to read
ing and writing? Not more than three hours
day; and when Parliament is sitting, not al
ways that. But then, during those hours, I
have given my attention to what I was about.

STRUCK By RATTLEsNAKE-Awe week or
SO since, a young child three or four years of
age, daughter of DR.. j. H. Wayt, of Char
lotte, N. c. while playing about the yard at
tached to Mrs. Jedds residence, in Henry
county, was struck in the foot by rattlesnake
Owing to the presence of mind of young lady
(Miss G. Recd) the child's life was saved. She
set to work to draw the poison from the wound BY
applying her mouthto tie bite and smoking out
the virus, which she persevered in until she
was satisfied that the poison had been eradica-
ted. Andthe child, with the exception of a
swelling of the foot and leg, was well in few
days. ~ sasv1i -.

RESIST THE BEGINNINGs.-TheA Arabs have
fable of a miller, who was one day startled
by camePs nose thrust in the windows of the
room where he was sleeping at is very cold
outside" said the camel; az only want to get
my nose in.' The nose was let in, then the
neck, and finally the whole body Presently
the miller began to be extremely inconve-
nienced at tie ungainly companion he had OBJ
tanned, in room certainly not large enough for
both. off you are inconyenienced, you may
leave" said the camel; Gas for myself, shall
stay where am" The moral of the fable
concerns all. When temptation comes, we
must not yield to it. We must not allow SO
much as its nose to come in. Everything like
sin is to be turned away from. He who yields
even the smallest degree will soon be entirely
overcome; and the last state of that man is
worse than the first.

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-The following wait,
afoat on the "sea of reading" we clip from an
exchange:
"Men seldom think of the great event of
death, until the shadows fall across their own
path, hiding forever from their eyes the traces
of loved ones whose living smiles was the sun
light of their existence. Death is the great
antagonist of life, and the cold thought of the
tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not
want to go through the dark valley, although
its passage may lead to paradise; and, with
Charles Lamb, we do not want to lie down in
the muddy grave, even with kings and princes
for our bsdfellows. But the fat of nature is
memorable. There is no appeal from the great
law which dooms US to dust. We flourish and
we fade as the leaves of the forest, and the
flower that blooms and withers in day, has
not Trailer hold upon life than the mightiest
monarch that ever shook the earth with his
footsteps. Generations of men appear and van
ish as the grass, and the countless multitude
which throngs the world to-day, will tomorrow
disappear as the footsteps on the shore"

PERSONAL ASSIMILATION.

1t is noticeable fact that people who live
long together grow to look alike We are such
initiative and deceptive creatures that uncon-
sciously, in spite of ourselves, we imbibe the
spirit and assume the Characteristic of those
with whom we come much in contact.
You may even dislike man nevertheless,
if you are much in his company you win Soon
be found copying the very gestures aud tones of
the voice which you hate. Where sympathy
exist between persons, this assimilation is all
the more facile and thorough.
We not only initiate habits and receive opin<
ions, and eat of the same dishes, both material
and spiritual with our daily associates; but
there is an interpenetrating personality which
flows from each to each, particles of John that
are absorbed by Peter, who is re-absorbed,in in
return by his companion, and all these ipfuen.
ces working upon the impressible spirit, and
thence outward into the face and form, write in
the expression a history of mans friendships,
and report to us whether he has walked with
saint sinners, and loved beautiful or ugly
souls
The marriage relation, which max es, or should
make, one flesh and one spirit Of two united
lovers, favors most this assimilation. Even
where dissatisfaction and difference exist the
power to mutually mould and influence charac-
ter remains. -
Be sure that day after day you shall grow to
De IKE tne vile you nave CHOSEN; and you Wo-
man, assuming the yoke, know for certainty
that you become not the partner of this mans
house and home only, but that his nobleness
or his mcanness, his greatness or his grovelDg,
his high toned character or his eoarseness, you
likewise shall share and partake. -,
GAS the husbands, the wife is, thourt welded to q
clown,
And the grossness of his nature, shall have weight
/ ~ to drag theo dowa!" 4 E Ta
What therefore behooves US is, to choose our
companions, and above all, in marrying, to con-
suit higher interests than social position and
money. 9
Poets have ceased to sing after fiafriage; Il
is because they have united themselves with
consorts devoid of interior beauty and song.
Women of rare and delicate qualities often
grow uninteresting aud commonplace in the
welded state, having found unfit companions.
"All that's fine within them growing
Coarse to sympathize with clay.
And SO the pure face of the young man who
who has gentle sisters, is seen to fade and
change, and grow moody, and sensual after he
has learned to smoke and to take to the society
of loafers.- OEiUe Branch.

THE BATTLE OF YORKTOWN, OCTOBER 19,
17s1.-Seventy-eish at years ago, Oct. 10, was
fought the last battle of the Revolution, for
although the treaty of peace was not formally
executed till late the next year, no further mil
itary efforts were made by England to reduce
the colonies. No day in England's history
was ever more n:ortifying to English pride than
that on which Lord CORVALLIS surrendered his
sword to General Washington. Lord CORVALLIS
came to this country in 1776, as Lieut.. General,
and with two brief visits home remained here
till after his surrender, when he returned to
England and was arrested for his defeat.
Had he been cordially supported by Sir Hen
ry Clinton the result of the Southern campaign
of 1881 might have been very different and
the war protraeted indefinitely, and perhaps ia
tally for our cause, from mere exhaustion

OLD BELLS IN OHIo.-In the Court House
in Lancaster, in this State, there hangs a bell.
and "thereby hangs tale" By the Spanish
inscription On its side, it appears that it was
cast early in the fifteenth century-ws forgot
the precise date,
the sounds which now summon to dull disputes
of law, and perhaps of equity, the people of
the new world, not knowing when they first
rung, often called the nuns at morning and
e.ening to 1natin and vcspers. ssea-s
The story, as tradition hath it, runs some
thing after this fashion:
"Many years ago, when the banditti who in
tested some parts of Spain, were so fierce and
powerful, this Convent was sacked by them,
and the bell being among the booty, was trans
ferred to pirate ship. The ringing and the
swing, which had hitherto spoken in clear mu-
sical tones across the hill and valley only to de-
votion and prayer, was now changed to the
'clashing clangor' which struck upon the ears
of wild and desperate men, and surged sadly
over the tumultuous sea. 80
How often it summoned the lawless crew to
deeds of pillage and murder may not be said.
The piratical vessel in its turn fell into the
hands of pursuing justice, and was brought
captive to Baltimore. A gentleman there con-
tracted to build Court House in the town of
Lancaster, purchasing the bell when the ship
was sold, forwarded 1t to that village, and for
years its notes have been echoed by hills as
beautiful as the most romantic bell could desire,
though its use can no longer be deemed practi-
cable" 5s.f
In Tifin there is also bell which once
swung from the turret of castle on the Rhine,
so that almost within speaking distance of each
other, these bells toll forth the memory of the.
past and it would not be difficult to imagine
that upon still nights and lovely summer morn
ings, they hold converse together over their
singular histories-Cin. Times

A SNAKE FOR BEDFELLow.-With the
above caption the Virginia Herald, printed at
Fredericksburg, tells the following strange tale:
"About two weeks ago, Mr.. John Elder of
this town, had an under-sack for a bed filled
with straw at Kenmore by negro man. 1t
was brought home and placed under feather
bed which was slept on by daughter of Mr.
Elders. The young lady complained on num-
Der of occasions of having her slumbers dis
turbed by distinct thumps from underneath, but
examination revealed nothing. On Tuesday
morning while Miss Elder was sitting down
stairs, facing the steps which led to her room
she was startled by a curious noise, and look
ing up, discovered moceasin snake descend
ing, blowing and kissing in style peculiar to
the reptile. An examination of the upstairs
premises was made at once, when small hole
was discovered in the undersacking, and on rip
ping the bed open the full length skin of a
snake was found at the hole, which his snake
ship had shed before he resolved on strike for
his freedom. The lady had occupied rather
unenviable quarters for the last fortnight.

SAD AND MELANCHOLY DEATH.-It is our
painful duty to announce the death of Mrs
Mary Miller, the venerable mother of our es-
teemed townsman, Judge Eli Al 1lcr, which oc-
CURED on Wednesday evening, at the Judges
residence on Gambler street, under the follow
ing painful circumstances: It appears that
ed by a stove, she opened the stove door,
when the fire was communicated to her dress,
and in a moment she was wrapped in flames
Being very old, and helpless as child, she
could render hsrsclfno assistance whatever; but
the girl, hearing some noise fastened to the
spot, and as soon as possible threw bucket of
water upon the old lady, putting outth flames,
and then ran into DR.. Russelps, to communi-
cate the distressing news to Mrs. Judge Miller,
who had left her own house but moment be-
fore. As soon as possible DIR. Humphrey was
called in who did all in his power to alleviate
the suferings of the old lady, but she fingered
in great pain, until about IL clock, when, she
closed her eyes in death. Her body, neck,
face, and one of her hands, were very much
burned. t.'l4 '7s 90
The deceased was born near Hagerstown, in
the State of Maryland, in 1851, and was conse-l
quently in the 98th year of her age at the time
of her death. She was woman of strong con-
and of great physical endurance, hav-
ing passed through many exciting scenes, and
being an eyewitness to many remarkable events
in the history of our country. The mortal re- {
mains of the deceased were deposited IN the Gem
etery on Friday last, attended to their last rest
ing place by many friends and citizens.-Mt
