The Sabbath.

The Christian Union, Qlenry Ward
Beechcr's paper answers in its leader
some queries on "The Sabbath Ques-
ton" We quote one paragraph:
The Sabbath is not primarily day OF
worship. 1t is 4 day of rest 1t was so
under the Jewish law. 1t is. or should
be so still. And of :cst-days we have
all too few in America. We need more
holidays, not fewer; we work too much,
not too little. We need occasionally
and one day in seven is not too often
to lay aside our work, and to cast off our
care. The stable-kee1ers will tell you
that they would rather close their doors
on Sunday than not. But man has high
needs. All the week our life gravitates.
1t pulls us downwards despite ourselves.
We live in masquerade. Our true char
acters are hidden. We know each other
only in our earthly relationships as rich
or poor, as scholars or unlearned. as mer-
chants, artisans, authors, editors, law
ycrs, doctors. We need occasionally TO
Law off our conventional disguises, to
know each other as men, AS the sons OF
God. rs we shall know each other on the
Judgment uaN. we neeu W So"oi"S'

to stop long enough to take observations,
reckon up our leg, and make as it were a
new departure. We need 20 get out OF
the dust, and racket, and confusion OF
this lower lite, up into the clear oxygen
of higher, purer atmosphere. We need
to stand at the gate of heaven, AID get
glimpse of the eternal world, OF the
heavenly host, aud of Him who stands
in the midst OF them, and who is the H.
spiration of their songs. We need this
day of rest and gladuess; it is the best
and most sacred legacy our fathers have
left W, and he who seeks to take it from
America is Americas worst foe. 1t is
not burden, not q bondage; its sancti'
ty rests not on law; it is day of liber

Thomas CARLYLE.

Although the writings OF Carlyle are
distinguished by n strange distortion Of
the English tongue, his conversation is
remarkably simple and straightforward (;
he talks right TO the point. His hatred
of affectation and sham is openly express
ed, careless whom he may offend. | re-
member, on one occasion, at Mrs. Basil
Montague's, whca some lady, famous for
her "musliu theology" was bewailing
the wjckedness OF the Jews in not receiv-
ing our Saviour, she ended her diatribc
against them by expressing her regret
that he had not appeared in our own
times. GLOW delighted" said she, eve
should all he to throw our doors open to
him, and listen to his divine precepts
Don't YOU think so, Mr.. Carlyle"
The sturdy philosopher, thus appealed
to, said in his broad Scotch, "No, mad
am, don't. think, that had he come
very fasLionably dressed, with plenty OF
money, and preaching doctrines palata
bic to the higher orders, might have had
the honor Of receiving from you card Of
invitation, OH the back of which would
be written, TO MEET oUB SAyIoUR;' but
if he had come uttering his sublime pre-
cepts, and denouncing the Pharisecs, and
associating with the Publicans and lower
orders, as he did, ye would have treated
him much the same as the Jews did, ant
have cried out, Take him TO Newgatc
and hang him ="
1t must be confessed that there is verl
little .cheerfuness and hope in Carlyle
philosophy. Leigh Hunt gives a striking
instance of this. One night, when com
ing ont with Carlyle from n friend.
house, where Hunt had been dilating up
on the cheertulness and glory of Nature
while Carlyle had been taking the dys
peptic view of existence, the genial poet
pointing to the starry heavens, said, i
his buoyant and delighted manner, Wha
do you think, my dear trie1d, of that ::
Carlyle looked up, and said with sigl
dts n very sad sight indeed; let's g
home" Leigh Hunt was so taken abac
at this novel view of the glories of crea
ton that lie uttered not another wor
till he bade him good-by at his dOol
which was but a stones throw from hi
own house.
On another occasion, when Ernes
Jones, a well known Chartist leader, wa
haranguing, in his violent manner, agaiEs
the established authorities, Carlyle shoe
his head, and told him, that, chad tn
Chartist leaders been living in the day
of Christ, he would have sent the unclea
spirits into then, instead of into til
swine Of the Gergesenes, and so W
should have happily got rid Of them
This deligaLe allusion to the suicide
the pigs SO astouisbed the respectabl
representative of the numerous family
the Joneses that he said nothing MOI
about chartsm that night.

Sleeping Beauty.

She lay upon bed of thyme,
Within n dim, outrageous nook,
Amid wild rose and cglantine,
Beside the music of a brook.
The branches met above her bead,
And screened her from the glowing sky,
While blithc birds twittered round her be-
Aud sang pleasant lullaby
It was strangely witching place,
Such freshness fingered in the air,
And seemingly the eltin race
Had held is rightly revels there.
A rustic fountains tinkle low
Fell softly on the listeners ear,
And bright fish darted to and fro,
And sported in the waters clear.
This was her haunt; her loosencd hair
In golden wealth around her lay:
Her eyes were closed, but on her fair
And tempting lips smile did play.
Then approached with steatby tread;
Bent o'el her torm-soOn all was DER,
My dreams dispelled, away went,
For ! could swear | heard her snore!

The SoHG OF BIRDp.--It ia very still.
The dew lies heavy on all things. In tho
east the light is coming very fast and
twilight every moment gains new radi-
ancc. Not a sound gives warning Of
any coming song. Far of one hears tho
hoarse hawk of goose, or the bark Gf a
dog disturbed by some EARLY traveller
Then oBe hears n single note-call, as if
the chorister were calling attention and
giving out the pitch. 1t is answered in
an cnqulring way by another bird, as
much as to say, eve are all ready, shall
we begin = Then one launches out, bRt
has not uttered two syllables before a
score Of birds strike in, and then, from
the fields, the forest hedges, from or.
chards and gardens, from the ground,
the fences aud the air, there comes such
a Babel Of sweet sounds, running into
each other, clashing, OVERLAPPING and
sgrging together that one cannot distiu-
guish any single songester note, but only
wild mingling of hundreds of birds, an
singing Mt the top Of their power, as if
fred by an ecstacy Of gladness. This
great gush O! song lasts from twenty
inmates to half an hour, and then ccaces
rs simultaneously as began. The birds
seem then to occupy themselves with
their toilet and breakfast. After which,
but in fariess general way, they sing
of and on for an hour or two. Then
they scatter and pursue the-regular busi-
ness Of the day, singing but little until
toward evening, unless the day be cloud

How MANY WILL You NEED ?-If
there is any defect more striking than
another in the American character, it is
bashfulneSs. Young America, IN partic-
ular, is painfully affected by it. An in
cident is mentioned by correspondent,
who was desired by his aunt to go 10
neighbor Shaw's and see if he had any
straw suitable for filling beds. "Mr.
Shaw" says our informant, "was blessed
with a goodly number Of Misses Shaw,
and | therefore felt little timid at en-
counterng them. To make the matter
worse, | arrived just as the family were
seated for dinner. Stopping at the door
way, hat in hand, | stammered out, 'Mr.
Straw, can you spare enough Shaw TO fill
a couple of beds?" 'Well,' said the old
gentleman, glancing around at his large
family, and enjoying my mistake, Il don't
know but l can how many will you
need?' Before l could recover, those
hateful Shaw girls burst into a chorus OF
laughter, and took hasty leave

There's visitor comes to me daily,
As gentle as evenings low sigh;
More richly, more daintily laden,
It's burden of love, by and by"
cannot tell whittier it comcth,
never could answer the why,
Yet fancy some good angel sendeth
This token of hope by and by"
Tho life should be rugged and dreary,
My feet often bleed by the way;
My spirit with wrongs should be laden,
Darkness fills halfof my day.
Yet frowning dispair shall not tarry,
This same little str niger, my guest
Way down in my hcnrt-chambcr nestled,
Is warbling its carol ofrcst
Sing on, then, dear seraph, and teach me
This cheering, this hope stirring lay;
May be through the thick clouds of morning
I'll catch the bright beams OF day.
I'll worship the sweet, golden future,
Forgetting the thOrns of the past,
Reaching out to the joys of the morrow,
In prospect enjoying the rest.

AMOS TAPPEN AKLRMAN, the new ap-
pointed Attorney General of the United
States, is native of New Hampshire, bu,
has been resident of the State of Geor-
gia for almost quarter Of q century-a
period so long as to divest him entirely
of the character of n "carpet Dagger, iden-
tifying him with the South, as complete
Southern man, in every proper sense OF
the term. He graduated at Dartmouth
College in l843, studied the profession
of law, and was then compelled, about
1916, by consumptive tendency in his
constitution, 10 seek residence in the
South. He chose, for the sake of health,
location for his future home in the pine
region of northern Georgia, and settled
ct Eberton, in Elbert County, Of that
State, where he has resided ever since,
pursuing the practice of law and the
studies congenial to a mind OF more than
ordinary culture and scholarly tastes.
During his earlier residence in the South
he seems TO have mixed little i'll politics,
alth Jugh staunch Wing in his political
opinions. He had been strong Aboll,
tlonist-among the earliest TO take bold
ground as such. At the South, as we
gather, his views upon the subject under
went mod tication TO this degree-~that he
acquired, by very thoughtful study, OF
the problem which slavery presented to
him there, firm conviction that the ne
gro must be either kept Il slave or made
a citizen-dened all rights or given all
rights-and that freedom without equalt
tv for the colored race was utterly I'M
practicable. These views prepared HIM,
when the issue between slavery and the
Union had been fought out, to become
an immediate and urgent advocate OF
the extension OF suffrage to the emanci
pated blacks. lie was among the tlrst
iu the South to commit himself, upon
that issue, to the support OF the Kepub
lican party and its policy of reconstruc'
tion. He was electen as representative
of Republican policy to the Constitution
al Convention in Georgia, and took a
prominent par: in the abors of that body.
In 1868, Mr. Akerman was nominated
upon the Republican electoral ticket IN
Georgia, on which occasion he published
letter, setting forth the views that LED
him to support Genera! Grant. This let
tel attracted marked notice throughout
the country and was accounted among
the ablest and most cOgent eXposltlons
of the issues before the people. Inc a.
tention of General Grant was undouoted
lp drawn to the writer OF the letter al
that time, and an acquaintance has since
been cultivated. 1t is not, therefore, a'
a stranger, that lie is now called INTO TN
