No Sabbath.

In prize essay on the Sabbath, written
by aJnurneyman printer in Scotland, there
occurs the following passage =
Yoke fellow think how the abstraction
of the Sabbath would hopelesslv enslave
the working classes, with whom we are
identified. Think Of labor thus roinq on
in one monotonous and continuous and
eternal cycie-limbs forever on the rack.
the fingers forever playing, the eyebalIs
forever strainlng, the brow forever sweat
ing, the feet forever Flooding, and the
brain forever throb5ing the shoulder forey.
err dropping, the limbs forever aching, and
the restless mind forever scheming. Think
OF tue beauty it would eface; of the merry,
beartedness 1t would extinguish; of the
giant strength it would tame; of the re-
sources of nature it would exhaust: of the
aspiration 1t would crush of the sickness
1t would breed; Of the projects it would
wreck ; OF grOans it would extort: of the
victims 1t would immediate; Of the cherries
grave 1t would prematurely dig. See them

fortunes OF Sing Sing Prison.

The tortures Of Sing Sing prison exceed
by far the punishment inflicted In the Ne
apolitan dungeons, if the details of the
" shuwerlHg" of one Desperate there re-
Gently, are true. 1t was Tom Kelly, apot
ed ruftian, who suffered. lit is said he took
advantage Of the keepers negligence, es-
capped, was recaptured, and the keerer.
actuated by revenge, punished him beyond
measure. Kelly was placed naked in a
bath, his feet, hands, and heads being firm
ly piniOncd. The water was allowed 70
srickle down his face and warm BODY for n
few minutes before the bath fell upon his
head. At length it fell. Tom bore it well +;
not shiver in his legs, not a muscular
movement OF the hands or fingers, not a
single cry of distress, although he was
actually being drowned for about five min
utes. You bear it well, ;" said one of the
keepers, after the first five minutes had
elapsed, and time had been given him to
recuperate. It's awful" was the reply
OF Iom, but l cannot ask for Mercy
Down came the water again, and tor full
1--WE minutes longer the gurgIing sounds of
strangulated man were audible, and,
when he was exhausted, the cord was let
up and the water stopped. A few minutes
vi release was granted, aad down came the
water again, and the scene was more terri
bic ihan the worst execution. At length
congestion of the brain was threatened. and
a " bliss " from the physician brought the
third scene to close. He had been fifteen
minutes under the shower, and had twenty.
five minutes of the same to endure; and for
the next forty days the same sort of pun
ishment will be melted out to him unless he
dies under the hands of the keeper. 1t is
described as an awful spectacle to witness
this man under the bath. Every muscle
contracted and became corded, sometimes
the hands would become convulsed and ey
cry nerve strained, when there would follow
a relaxation. After Kelly had been show
cred and taken to his cell, the keeper
turned around, and with malignant smile
exclaimed, ''We'll subdue him." Outsi-
ders, from that single expressive sentence,
may guess at the rule in Sing Sing.

question of the admission Of Missouri into
the Union.
The sixth was collision between the
Legislature Of Georgia and the Federal
Government in regard 10 certain lands Civ
en- by the latter to the Greek Indians
