Our NIuscOyite Cousins.

There are good and sufficient reasons for
the suspicion prevailing in Europe, that
the visit of the Prince Imperial of Russia
to the United States is one of diplomacy
The Cars for two generations back, while
holding half-drawn sword in their inter
course with other governments, have lost
no opportunity of displaying their good
Will to our country. Apparently our anti
podes in political and social ideas, with
little in common in race or religion, with
no recognized historic ties or community of
material interests, it seems inexplicable
that a hearty friendship should exist be-
tween powers and people so dissiinilar.
During the progress and after the conclu-
sion of the Crimean war the French and
English journals complained bitterly, al
most threateningly, of the openly expressed
sympathy of the Americ ms for the Russian
side of the quarrel, disfavor which they
had opportunity to retaliate, with interest,
not long after, when we ourselves were
passing through the fiery ordeal. All will
how hopefully we looked to the
massive strength of the Great Bear of the
North In the event of a collision with the
forces of the plotting, treacherous Napo-
leon and his surly, growing British allies.
Since those times our ENJOYS and visitors
at the Russian Court have received royal
attentions and fayors bestowed nowhere
else; and in return cur Western Giant

Farmers Look Ont!

The following item, which we extract
from the Appleton Crescent of December 8,
speaks for itself:
1.-The latest new scheme for swipdIiur
farmers on the tapis. The article now
offered is wrought iron pillow point.
fitting into hollow square, the economy
of which is wonderful. Those that here
been bitten find that wrought iron points
cost more apiece than entire shares of
cast iron. As these pillow point swindlers

The Sabbath.

The following testimonies and experien-
ccs, not Of the clergy, but of statesmen,
philosophers, and men Of wide reputation
in legal, medical, literary and commercial
life, bearing on a subject attracting consid-
cradle attention at the present time, may
not be uninteresting to our readers:
of Sunday had not been observed as a
day Of rest during the last three centuries,
| have not the smallest doubt that we
should have been at this moment a poorer
and less civilized people than we are
Lori Nacauldy.
There is no religion without worship, or
no worship without the Sabbath. "-Cout
NoRtatea,bert.
"The more faithfully l apply myself to
the duties of the Lords day, the more hap
Ply and successful is my business during
the week. Sir Matthc,o Ha1e.
A corruption of morals usually follows
a proclamation of the Sabbath "-Btack-
stone.
The Sabbath as political institution
Its claim to DIVINE authority. --Idam
| Smith
Sunday is a day of account, and a can
did account every seventh day is the best
preparation for the great day of account -
lord Kames.
q can truly declare that to me the Sab
bath has been invaluable. - lillian
WiiboJorce
Give the world half of Sunday, and
you will find religion has no strong hold of
! the other -.Su Walter Scott.
"Where there is no Christian Sabbath
there is no Christian morality; and with
out this, free institutions cannot long be
sustained. '-JuStice Mclean.
The longer live the more highly do
estimate the Christian Sabbath, and the
more grateful do | feel toward those who
impress its Importance on the community"
--Daniel Hcbster
In general order issued November Is,
1862, President Lincoln commanded that
" Sunday labor in the army and navy be
reduced to the measure of strict necessity.
The Discipline and character of the nation
al forces should not suffer, nor the cause
they defend be imperiled, by the profana-
ton of the day or name of the Most High"
Attorney General Bates, of the Cabinet
wrote: 1.-The religious character of an in
stltution so ancient, so sacred, so lawful
and so necessary to the peace, the comfort
and the responsibility of society, ought
alone to pe sufficient for its protection:
but that failing, surely the laws of the
land made for its account ought to be as
strictly enforced, as the laws for the pro-
lection of person and property. If the
Sunday laws be neglected or 'despised the
laws of person and property will soon share
their fate, and be equally disregarded."

TIE kenosha Union tells of clandes-
tine visit made by a young man to his
sweetheart, by pulling off his boots, leaving
them outside, and entering through the
window: that "the old man" mi ht not

at having outwitted the old folks, spent a
pleasant evening in drawing bright pictures
of the future The young man retreated

amazement his boots were gone. The

How TO VarniSh.

When applying varnish do it quickly,
have the material cut or reduced with
spirits of turpentine until it flows nicely
and without a gummy feeling. Do not
brush after the varnish begins to set, but
thoroughly before. A heavy or very light
coat will not prove best, a medium coat
should be the rule. After little practice
all of the furniture of the house, and the
buggies, carriages, etc, about the prem
lses may be kept looking like new, with
little expense, and without employing a
practice painter.

Old Times.
BY VIM. WINTER.

Rosy hours of youth and fancyl
Happy hours of Long Ago
An, the playful, pictured memories
Let US catch them AS they flow.
Galaxies of blue-eyed Marys,
With julia or Jane
Or troup of little L8uras
Laugh and blush and romp again.
Moonlight meetings evening ram bleS.
When the night was still around.
And a sweet voice, softly murwuring,
Or kiss, the only sound
These remember. and remember
How the kind stars shone above,
Keeping, in their softened splendor,
Watch and wsrd upon our love.
Youth is diamond dawning-
Bold It. breaks to gorgeous day;
Heavenly lights of power and beauty
tIance and CLEAN along its way.
Far within the mighty future
There be solemn voices heard
Shaped to many q stately anthem,
Floats the music of a word.
But that music in the present,
Softly droops. with sad delay,
Till its echo in the spirit
Faints and falls and dies away.
Green be then the tender memory
Of the Past-forever sped;
That our youth may be immortal
Though its days and dreams are dead.
