escaped, though one had been shot and car

thousand francs reward was offered for the
apprehension and conviction of the ruffians

Sundays and the Ministers.

Some attention should be given to one of
the mos: oppressed and Sabath-ridden of all
elasses-ministers of the Gospel. 1t seems
Ikea perpetual sarcasm to hear these ever
worked men thanking God for this day of
rest. Rest? Why, half the ministers sat
rp half the night Of Saturday to prepare
their two sermons; they rose on Sunday with
throbbing temples; they wrought in their
studies till the bells toll; they offciate in
the most exhausting services for an hour and
a halt. They rest one or two hours, and
then return, for another exhausting service
OF like duration; and at evening, being now
strung up to the highest nervous tension,
conduct an evening prayer-meeting, or per-
haps preach third time. Then the man
lies awake all night, sleeps few hours ON
Monday msrning, and On Monday afternoon
or Tuesday wakes up In the purgatory of
ministers Blue Monday. This is charming
ly entitled day Of rest! And like to if ia
the service of many man and woman. over
tasked an brain and nerve all the week, and
then' on the day of rest, working harder than
any other day of the seven, The fac, ia,
that church labors are SO arranged that the
overworked are taxed still more, and the 10
dolent do nothing at all. They rest who
should work and they work who should
rest. There is vast amount of pulpi, des-
ecration of the Sabbath, and Sunday-school
violation of Gods laws of rest, and of church
disregard of Christian observance.-H w.

A COurting Incident.

The Boston Traveller, in mentioning the
death of the late Abel Sparks, of that city,
tells this incident of his courtship. 1t seems
that Mr. Sparks was raised in Vermont, and
was a fine, intelligent looking young man,
self-educated, and gentleman by nature
For one year he was employed by wealthy
Quaker near Boston, as hired man on the
farm, and he fell in love with the only daugh-
ter of his employer. She returned his love
but the father refused to sanction their init
macy-in short, resolutely opposed it-and
the daughter dare not disobey-that is to
say, she dare not disobey openly. She met
her lover 'by moonlight while she pretended
never to see hiul-and she pined and wasted
in spite of herself. She was really in love-
state OF 'sighs and tears which women Of
tener reach in imagination than in reality
The time passed on and the rose on Mary's
damask check passed off, She let no con-
cealment, like worm in the bud,' prey on
that damask cheek, however; but when her
father asked her why she pined, she always
tcld him. The old gentleman was a widow
er, and loved his girl dearly. Had it been a
widowed mother who had Mary in charge, a
womans pride never would have given way
but the honest old Quaker saw that his
daughters heart was really set upon the
match, and he surprised her one day by
breaking out-'Mary, rather than nope to
death, thee had better marry as soon as thee
chooses, and who thee p.eases.'
And then what did Mary? Wait till the
birds of the air had told her swain of the
change, or until her father had time to alter
his mind again Not bit of it. She clap
ped her neat plain bonnet on her head, walk
ed directly into the street, and then as di
rectly to the house of a widow lady where
) her lover was then boarding. She walked
, into the house without knocking knock
, ing was not then fashionable-ands she fount
the family just sitting down to dinner. Som'
, little commotion was exhibited at so unex
| pected an apparition as the heiress in tn
widows cottage, but she needed it not. Abe
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1862-07-04

looked up inquiringly. She walked directly
to him and took both his hands in hers -
ABEL said she, father says l may marry
thee" " and then she could restrain her feel
ings no longer, but shed tears Of joy. 1t is
unnecessary to say that Abel's appetite for
dinner was rather poor that day. Itwas full
a year after this incident before the marriage
took place; but the wealthy Quaker never
had cause to regret the choice Of his daugh-
ter. Abel Sparks made his mark in Boston,
and long before his father-in-law died he was
the wealthiest man of the two, and possess
ed an honorable name.

priest, thrust his hand into the very depths
Of his breeches pockets, as if in search of a
coin. The priest, observing his movements,
advanced as usual, while Jonathan, holding
forth greasy looking roll of paper. COM
menced deliberately unfolding it. The old
priest now anticipated liberal donation.--
Jonathan unrolled the piece of dirty paper,
and produced junk Of tri-twisted tobacco.
lie then drew forth grimmy clay pipe,
which he coolly proceeded to fill. When
this was done, he stepped forward and light
ed his pipe by the old priests candle, and
making an awkward inclination of the head,
