No Sabbath.
dearest friend

In Prize Essay on the Sabbath, writ
ten by journeyman printer in Scotland,
there occurs the following striking passage
"Yoke-fellows think how the abstraction
of the Sabbath would hcpelessly enslave the
working classes, with whom we are identi-
fed Think of the labor thus going on in
one monotonous, and continuous, and eternal
cycle limbs forever on the rack, the fingers
forever playing, the eyeballs forever strain-
ing, the brow forever sweating, the feet for
ever rlodding, the brain forever thrl bbing,
the shoulders forever dropping, the loins for
ever aching, and the restless mind forever
scheming! Think of the beauty it would
etface, OF the merry y-heartedness it would ex-
tinguish, of the giant strength it would tame
of the resources Of nature it would exhaust,
of the aspirations it would crush, of the sick
ness it would breed, Of the projects it would
wreck. Of the groans it would extort, of the
lives it would immolate, of the cheerless
graves it would prematurely dig See them
toiling and moiling, sweating and fretting.
grinding and heWing, weaving and spinning
sowing and gathering, moving and reaping,
raising and building, digging and planting,
unloading and storing, striving and strug-
gling-in the garden and in the field, in the
granary and in the barn, in the factory and
in the mill, in the warehouse and in the shop,
on the mountain and in the ditch, on the
roadside and in the wood, in the city and in
the country, on the sea and on the shore, on
the earth in days Of brightness and of gloom.
What a sad picture would the world present
if we had no Sabbath" !"

A Com(ot(ical Panic.

In the year l7l2, Winston predicted that
a comet would appear on Wednesday, Octo-
Der IA, at FIVE minutes after O'Clock, A. M,
and that the world would be destroyed by
fire on the Friday following. His reputation
was high, and the comet appeared. A num-
ber ofpersons got into boats aud barges on
the Thames, thinking the water the safest
place South sea and Indian stocks fell.-
The captain of Dutch ship threw all bis
powder into the river, that the ship might
not be endangered At noon, after the con-
ct had appeared, it is said that more than
one hundred clergymen were ferried over to
Lambeth, to request that proper prayers
might be prepared, there being none in the
Church service People believed that the
day of judgement was at hand, and some ac-
ted on this belief, more as if some temporary
evil was to be expected. There was pro-
digious run on the Bank F.! and Sir Gilbert
Heathcots, at that time the head director, is.
sued orders to all the fire officers in London,
requireing them to keep good look,out, and
have particular eye upon the Bank of Eng4
land .

A New Implement of War.

MIR Vim. McCord, of Sing Sing, has devo-
ted the last two or thee years to the Invention
and perfecting Of gun to discharge success
siye volleys without the necessity of inter
mission for reloading or adjusting the parts.
or for allowing the implement to cool. This,
result be claims to have most successfully ac-
compIished and number of military and
scientific men who have witnessed its perfor.
maacs, bear testimony TO the amazingly de-
structive powers of the new weapon.
The piece is discharged by the turning of
crank; the loaded, with percussion caps
attached, passing into the barrels from a
hopper, so that the only labor of loading, is
to shovel the balls, like grain, into the hop.
per. It can be kept in aetien from hour to
hour, or from day to day, like any other piece
of machinery, and for ought we see, might
be propelled by steam. The sample which
has been constructed is certified to fire two
hundred and forty balls weighing forty to
the pound) per minute but the inventor is
constructing larger pelces, and expects to be
able to discharge cannon balls of ample size,
through with less rapidity. There is con-
trivance which, it is said, effectually prevents
the barrels from heating. VI

A Scene Worth Considering.

Years ago, the Office of the old Gazette was
in Hanover Square, nsar the corner of Pearl
street, New York. 1t was place of resort
for news and conversation, especially in the
evening. The evening Of February Is, 1916
was cold, and at late hour only Alderman
Sebra and another gentleman wers left with
father Lang, the genius of ths place. The
Office was about being closed, when pilot
rushed in, and stood for a moment SO entire
ly exhausted as to be unable to speak fol
some time.
"He has great news!" exclaimed Mr.
Lang.
Presently the pilot, grsping for breath,
whispered ;ntelligibly =" Peace peace {"
The gentlemen lost their breath as fast as
the pilot gained his. Directly the pilot was
able to say
"An English slOop is below, with news Of
treaty Of peace "
They say that Mr.. Lang exclaimed in
greater words than he eyer used before and
all hands rushed into Hanover Square e4-
claiming Peace PEAcE!"
The windows few up-for families lived
there then. No sooner were the inmates
sure of the sweet sound of peace, than the
windows began to glow with brilliant illu.
min ations. The cry of Peace PEACE D
spread through the city at the top of all vol
ces. No one stopped to inquire about q free
trade and sailors rights. ~ No one inquired
whether even the national honor had been
preserved. The matters by which politicians
had irritated the nation into war, had lost al
their Importance. It was enough that thu
ruinous war was over. An old man or
Broadway, attracted by the noise to his door
was seen to pull down placard, "To Let,
which had been long posted up. Never wa'
there such joy in the city. A few evening"
after, there was general illumination, anC
although the snow was foot deep and soak
ed with rain, yet the streets were crowded
with men and women, eager to see and par
take of everything which had in it the sigh
or taste Of peace.
