r.,st day the offender would be stoned to DEATH In
the new dispensation the Church had Ten set apart
another day OF resl-Sunday. Under the old law
the Sabbath (the seventh day OF the week. was tn G
day kept holy, but the new day was that on whc h
Christ arose from the dead. The observance OF
Sunday under the new dlspensaton was not SO
strictly insisted upon as the observance OF the Sab
bath was under the old, for the new law was more
OF freedom than servitude. Still the real spirit OF
the Institution OF the day should not be forgotten,
TOR IL was day marked by the Church to be kept
holy by Christians. The Church ordained that on
that day Christians should give up their
usual pursuits--fhat Is, their worldly ayo-
cations and devote 1t to prasing and gort
fying the holy name Of God. The mandate
OF the Church in regard 10 the observance OF sun
day was inspired by God-the voice OF GOD Himself.
There were other ooselvances besides mass that q
Catholic should not forget He should not tnlnk
that, after he had escaped committing mortal SIN
by attending mass on sunday, he mad 1uihiied
Gods command He should devote himself TO prayer
er and works OF good ana plous reading. lie should
also attend vcsDeIs-the evening song OF praise the
Church offers her public capacity TO God-and the
benedicion Of the hoiy sacrament. Moreover O
Catholic was obliged 10 study the end or his sal
yation, for no one knew his duties too well. lie
should attend tue sermons on Sunday and II was
an open question whether IL was not sin or per-
son to neglect to attend them for great length OF
tme Parents should also see TO 1t that their chill
dren attended the religious Instructions on the Sab
bath, for sunday was day when God showered
down His graces most bOuntifully--a day when His
heart was open TO all and II Christians observed 1t.
as 1t W as intended 1t should be observed, IL would
indeed be to all q day OF rest.

SUNDAY, Sept. 8, 1869.
The dulness ana quiet Of the summer have given
place to great activity In Wall street AFFAIRS and the
fall campaign opens with unusual briskness The chief
movements Of the past week were In the Gold ROOM
where a bull combination OF reputed large capital
and possessing und0ubted boldness have taken the
market by storm and precpttated a contest seldom
equaled in monetary affairs for the enormous char
acter OF the transactions involved. IL seems that
few weeks snce when gold was going down 80 rap
idly before the reports OF heavy cotton and wheat
crops this season. and had touched l3l, the clique
were secretly purchasing the gold which the "bears''
were SO literally selling. They did not show their
hands, however, until Thursday last, when
the whole amount offered for sale by
the government at the Sub-Treasury in this
city was taken in one lot ana so greedIly bid for
that the price oered was not only higher than other
bids, but in advance Of the then market price, The
street at once comprehended the situation, and the
"bearsn were thrown into CONSERVATION by q
thenceforward steady rise Of the price to l37s the
extreme figure touched on Saturday. The pluckler
"bearsn were not afraid of the movement and were
heavy sellers giving the ''bulls all they would take

extravagant character OF the speculation which
is going on in the Gold Room. In other Words the
spectators on the two days mentioned bought and
sold four times gold than there Is in the whole
United States and twenty times more than there is
In all the banks Of this city. The contest was still In
progress up to the close Of daylight on Saturday
evening, when the price had fallen Off TO 137s but

nent market was heavy and Irregular, although the
tone at the close was much lrmer than during the
middle OF the week, when the arrangement
OF values was FIRST brought about by
the movement In gold. The feeling was quite
general that active money was at hand, ana holders
were induced TO part with their bonds. The bank

foreign account at length checked the declining
tendency The following closing prices on Satur-

during the week, as commodore Vanderbilt and the
chief officials Of Hudson River and New York Cen

on Saturday went home prepared for an ecrateisse-
