SABBATH OBSERVANCE.-Ihe nations
of the earth which now most respect
the Sabbath. and most discourage Ia
Dor, pastimes and mere amusements,
during its sacred hours, are the freest,
the happiest, the most prosperous, and
the farthest advanced in the progress
of art, manufacture and invention !;
and that city, or town, or village, or
community, of any Sabbath respecting
nation, which best keeps the Sabbath
as day of rest for body and mind,
is the most noted for all that is order
ly, law abiding and substantial; and
that family, Of any Sabbath loving
community, which best observes it by
quiet, by religious worship, and the
performance of Bible duties, is the
most substantial and respected and re-
liable in that community, while any
individual member of Sabbath keep
ing family who most spends the hours
of that sacred day in meditation, in
worship, and the prayerfuI reading of
the scriptures, will uniformly be found
to follow a blameless life; to possess
the respect and confidence of the
whole community; and all men vii
| know where to look for him, however
| evil may be the times-to wit, on the
side of justice and right, and liberty
and law, and sterling principle.
| No man can be so blinded as not tt
know that the Sabbath is least re
spected where there is most of all tina
is vulgar and profane, and abandoned
and that those who care the least 70
it are literally thieves and murderers
drunkards, prize fighters, horse racers
and the utterly depraved of all class
es; and that these, the wicked, d
not live half their days." As
means, then, of longevity, Of world
prosperity, of individual elevation o
!, character, every citizen will not onl

and encourage others to do the sam

FANCY HENS.-The hen-fanciers

FANCY HENs.-The hen-fanciers
are, L dare say, very worthy people
lar be 1t from me to pluck feather
irom the tail of any of their brood.
But to my obscure sense, an egg is al
ways very much of an egg, whatever
fowl may have the laying of it. Nor
can | detect much difference between
"broiler" of the Chittagong, or any
other heather family, and the "broil-
er" Bridget may dress, and lay before
me at June breakfast, from the cack-
ing company that have always laid
and scratched about the dunghills of
our Christian country. Nay, | take a
rather pleasant entertainment in fan
cylng my cheerful and cackling barn
door brood are lineally descended
from those veterans of the British
rooSt, who, under the name of Chan.
tlcleer have for so many centuries
lifted up their welcome to the NOR
nng. They are family associates
which are a source of pride; what if
my gallant fellow in white, yonder
with golden legs and blood red comb
curveting with wings down spread
and giving a coquettish look to the de
mure teathered people of his harem
comes in a direct lineage from the
alert old Chanticleer of the HOUSE
that Jack built?
| ms is the cock that crowed in the morn,
That walked the priest all shaven and shOrn,
mat married the man all battered and torn, &c
Can we say as much, or fancy a
much for an awkward, frizzled crea
ture of Shanghai name, as stupid a
the celestials with their hair tied in
cue ?-Hours at Home.

The Mystery Of Lincoln's Assas-
Sinatinn.

The Boston Advertiser in com
menting upon the discovery of John
ID. Surrat in Italy says:
"The community is to be congratu-
lated that this man, so long hidden in
obscurity, has been proved to be still
IN existence, and that there is vet a
possibility that he may be caught and
brought back to the country which
holds his life SO precious. While
there is life there is hope; and if
ever American hands again hold con-
troll OF the life Of John Surratt, we
trust that the case may be more skill
fully managed than at the trial of his
fellow-assassins. He stands as the
only known representative of a con-
splracy which, though it was formed
and eliminated within the last two
years, though six or seven of its men,
bers have been arraigned and con-
victed, though the most acute legal
minds have been employed to sift it
to the bottom, is to-day wrapped in
as dense and unfathomable mystery
as covers any similar plot in the dim
ness of the middle ages. The extent
Of the general ignorance may we'll be
gagged by the fact that of the two
well known gentlemen who were put
in charge Of the case by the govern
ment, and studied it long and closely
one still declares that Jefferson Davis
was the chief conspirator, while the
other stakes his reputation on the
shocking and incredible accusation
that the present president Of the
United States was an accomplice il
the plot. All the facts in the case are
known to John Surratt, and to nc
other man who can be named; anC
with his person in our possession the
nation could well afford to offer hin
his life, his liberty, or any other price
which might be sufficient to secure it
to obtain from his lips the information
which will shed the light of day upoI
the most difficult as well as the mos
interesting criminal mystery of GU
time. Hitherto the policy Of thos
entrusted with the matter has beer
to disdain all information in elucida
ton of the problem from those VIII
alone were able TO give it,-and Mrs
Surratt and the rest lie in the endles
silence Of the grave, while our record
are defaced by the testimony Of facil
perjurers like Montgomery and Conc
yer. While John Surratt survive
f there is yet chance to repair the ev
which, if he dies with his lips sealeC
may be irretrievable.

VERMONT CENTRAL RoAD.-The an
nual meeting of the first mortgage
bond holders of this road was held
In Boston Wednesday. The report
OF the Trustees was read, showing
that the earnings of the year were ST..
657, 427, an Increase of $243, AL
The net earnings cover all claims and
leave over 100000 as sinking fund.
The earnings of the last five mounths
amounted to about 100000; of the
earnings, $525,OOO was from passen-
gers, and sl,08O,156 from freight
The expenditures were $1,362, 1889, OF
which 8f50,OOO was for repairs OF
road bed and superStructure, 1885,
900 for engines and tenders, $4,000
for cars, $4,000 for fuel, &c.
The amount of stock on hand is
s42o, 900, an increase of $254,OOO il
the year.
Coy. Smith Of Vermont made some
remarks, stating that all the rolling
stock of the road was crowded witt
business, and that the engines were
run night and day, with two sets O
hands. The through business is toe
great to be done, and with more STOCK
the earnings might have reached So,
100000 in this year. Gov. Smitl
thought the road could be most advan
tageously run as a corporation, anC
the present harmonious state of al
fairs offered an excellent time to maxi
the change. The charter was singu
larly liberal, and should be taken ad
vantage of.
This question was discussed and re
ferred to a committee to report o.
next year.
1t was stated that the new bond
would be ready for delivery about tn
| 18th.

HE MONKEY AND THE DRUNKARD.
MIR. Pollard states that in his drink
ing days he was the companion of
man in Arundel county, Maryland, who
had a monkey that he had valued at
thousand dollars.
We always took him out on chest
nut parties, and when he could not
shake them off, he would 90 to the We
ry ends of the limbs and knock them
off with his fist. One day we stop
ped at tavern and drank freely.-
About half a glass was left and Jack
drank it up. Soon he was merry, hop
ped and danced and set us in a roar
OF laughter. Jack was drunk. We
all agreed, six of US, that we would
come to the tavern next day and get
Jack drunk again and have sport all
day. | called at my friends house
next morning and we went out for
Jack. Instead of being as usual on
the box, he was not TO be seen. We
looked inside, and there he was, all
crouched up i'll heap.
Come out here y said his master.
Jack came out on three legs; his
forepaw on his head. Jack had the
headache. [ knew what was the mat
ter with him; he felt just as | did
many a morning. Jack was sick and
couldn't 90. Sowe waited three days
We then went, and while drinking, a
glass was prepared for Jack. But
where was he? Skulking behind the
chairs.
"Come here, Jack, and drink" sale
his master, holding out the glass tc
him.
i Jack retreated, and as the door
was open, slipped out and in moment
was at the top of the house. HI:
master went out to call him down, bu
he would not come. He got a large
whip and shook it at him. Jack sa
on the ridge pole and refused to obey
) His master got gun and pointed i
at him. A monkey is much afraid of
a gun. Jack slipped over the bacl
side of the house when he saw his pre-
: dicament, at once whipped upon tn,
chimney and got down in one of tn
hues, holding on by his torepaws.-
The master was beaten.
