In all new places we shall find quite ,
crude state of morals, and the progress,
OF the war seems to have a tendency te
undermine the public morals generally
hence i! becomes the bounden duty Of
every good man to use his efforts in eyery
shape and manner to improve the the NOR
ais Of his neighborhood. Marysville is a
new place; as matter of course the
Sabbath is not very much respected, and
we need not be surprised to find that stores
and shops and drinking saloons should
stare at you from the streets on Sunday
as on week days. Four years ago. to
hear of murder filled the public mind
with horror. Now we hear of sanguina.
ry battles and loss of life every day with
out emotion. The finer feelings of man
become bluntsd, and to make tnoneyseems
to have become the all engrossing theme.
1t Is therefore the moral duty of every
man, who is not at least an immoral man.
to show his regard for the Sabbath day
to abstain from that which would at other
times be only innocent amusement, if he
shall see that thereby he can at all pro-
mote the welfare of his neighbors. A
1ulet village on the Sabbath day is beau.
lful sight to see; but the noise and hum
rom open shops and saloons is very up-
pleasant indeed to the man who loves to
