} A SABBATH IN GRAND HAVEN.

Mr.. EDITOR: Providentially detain-
ed in your village over the Sabbath, / at
once determined to spend the day in the
only rational manner as dictated by my
own sense Of propriety and the custom
Of our forefathers. Grand Haven | have
long been taught TO consider as place
OF business, as the abiding place of many,
and the resort, temporarily, of others
bent upon the accumulation of property,
at all hazards, and that the Sabbath even
did not at all times mark the usual cessa-
ton Of labor as practiced in primitive
times, between Saturday eve and Mon
day morn; and that the village bell at
the hour Of service on the Sabbath, often
failed 10 call TO the house of worship the
great mass of its citizens. Indeed, that
religion and the observance Of the rules
and ceremonies connected Herewith, was
the secondary, and mammon the primary
subject of attention with many of those
occupying the first position in the none
tary and commercial relations of society.
But if this state of society ever did ex-
ist in your village, q very remarkable
change for the better must have taken
place, for a more quiet community, and
one upon which more really Eastern, Pu-
ritanical Sabbath seemed to have dawn
ed and passed away, than that which
awoke the quiet slumberers Of your vii
lace on the last Lords day, il has not
been my fortune 10 witness for many q
month. AT half past ten, / found my.
self comfortably seated in the upper room
Of the union school.house and fully pre-
pared for the enjoyment Of the hour, il
listening to the hymns Of praise about &

VESSELS ON THE Outstanding on
the dock this morning We noticed two
vessels on the South bar, at the mouth of
the river. The brig Portland and the
schooner Minnesota. The brig had on
board full load of lumber, and is report
ed to be much injured, full of water, and
it is a matter of doubt whether she can
be saved. The schooner will probably be
got of without material damage.

the coloncls intention, he took on himself
the discretion Of making the necessary cor

to put the horse to the Gig.

ROCHESTER, ENGLAND,

CALCULATING INTERESTING Detroit Advertiser
gives a new method of computing interest on any
number of dollars, at six per cent, which appears
simple:
Separate the right hand figure by q pOint, and
the figure on the left hand of this separating point
will be interest in cents for six days-the figure on
the right Of the point, decimals of a cent. Multi.
ply the whole amount by five to find the interest
for thirty days, and this sum by two for sixty days
three for ninety days, &c. For any number Of
days less than six, take the fractional part of the
interest for six Care must be taken to separate
the right hand figures of the dollars. whether there
be cents or mills in the given sum or not"
This is all very we'll, but a simpler and shorter
way is to multiply any given number of dollars by
the number of days of interest desired, separat
ing the light hand figure, and dividing by six the
result is the true interest Of such sum for such
number of days, at six per cent. This rule is sc
simple and so true. according to all business usagt
that every banker. broker, merchant or clerk
should post it up for reference and use. There be
ing no such thing as a fraction in it, there i
scarcely any liability to error or >mistake. BY nj
other arithmetical process can the desired informa
ton be obtained with so few 6gures.-Pha Ledger

A PoLiricAt JoKE.-Tbe Alexandria Sentinel
tells the following story about Col. Benton's refus.
ing to recognize the House of Representatives as q
legal body after the 18th Of March
ut was Sunday morRing, aud the 4th of March
Of the short session. Col. Benton held that as ,he
Sd Of March was the end Of the period for which
the Representatives had been elected, the House
had expired OF midnight of Saturday. BY a sort
Of legal fiction, however, it claimed not only to be
living on Sunday morning, bnt was calling up it's
absent members and it SO happened that just as
Col. Benlon, after a good nights sleep and hearty
breakfast, reached the door Of the Hall bis name
was called by the Clerk. Immediately his indig.
nation was great You shan't call my name,
Sir. This is no House, Sir.-And am no men,
Der, Sir. III sue you, if you call my name in there
Sir"
In addition to this Col. Benton told them it was
a mob-that he was "a member of no such body
The present speaker, Orr, was in the Chair at the
time, and he promptly replied "As the gentleman
denies being a member of this House, the Scar
geant-at-Arms will please remove him from the
Hail." The remark created q roar of laughter,
and Old Bullion in a towering rage, stalked out Of
the Capitol.
