THE SABBATH. morning a gentle
man was going to church. He was happy,
cheerful Christian, who had very great re-
spect for the Sabbath. He was very sin
gular man, and would sometimes do and say
what children are apt to call very funny
things" As he was going along he met
stranger driving heavily loaded wagon
through the town. When this gentleman
got right opposite to the wagon, he stopped,
turned round, and, lifting up both hands,
as if in horror, he exclaimed, as he gazed
under the wagon. ''There, there, you are
going over it You haze gone right over
ut J" The driver was frightened. He drew
up his reins in an instant, and cried "Whoa!
whoa p and brought his horses to stand.
Then he looked down under the wheels, ex-
pecting to see the mangled remains of some
innocent child, or, atleast, some poor dog or
pig that had been ground to jelly. But
he saw nothing. So, gazing all about, he
looked up to the gentleman who had SO
strangely arrested his attention, and anxi-
ously asked, pray, sir. vhat hare I gone
over ?" cover the fourth commandment"
was the quick reply. Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy"
