GoyE 1IoaIE.-L. &. Gibbons left here
last Saturday on the cars bound East for
Hermon, St. Lawrence county, New York !,
where his parents reside. Mr.. Gibbons
has been a citizen Of Auburn for many years,
and was formerly connected with the butch
ering and meat market establishment Of
Bishop & Co. Wilhelm that business years
ago, he was thrown from the wagon of a
runaway team and terribly wounded, which
confined him for long months and left him
a cripple and lamed in one foot and ankle for
lie. Lew left many warm friends in
Auburn and surrounding country who, with
us, wish him safe passage and pleasant
and prosperous life wherever he may be.

RlNK WoUYDs.-We visited the skating
rink, Thursday evening, and saw the prac-
titioners going it on four wheels. As good
soldiers are known by their wounds, ard
good worlmen by their chips, it may be pos
sible that good "rinkero' are known by their
spots TIE Goor is covered wish whiting TO
Aeepthe skates from slipping, and we motto
ed that several of the skatists had spotted
themselves on the knees, and various other
places by coming in contct with this whit
ng on the Goor This is the funny part and
the one HAT picks up the most spots attracts
the greatest attention and creates the most
delight.

surround you on every side; the children

The Pail Mall Gazette has the following
curious paragraph:
statement reaches MS from Ireland that
acts of Parliament relating to railways,
harbors, steam companies, drainage works,
town improvements, and other matters in
Ireland, having received the fiat of the
Lord Lieutenant, are in future to pass into
law without investigation or discussion in
London, and with q mere formal assent at
the hands of Parliament, interference on
| the part of Scotch or English members
being expressly prevented. This conces-
! sion, to which Mr.. Heron, NJ. p. for Tip
perary, ia said to have been mainly instru-
mental in inclining the Government, is
based professedly on considerations of
economy and local convenience. Great
Importance is, however, attached to it by
the Irish Nationalist party, who see in the
impending transfer to the Irish side of the
Channel of control over private acts of
Parliament the REIMBURSEMENT by the Inn
perial Legislature, at no distant date, of
control over public acts of Parliament in

Lent.

The season of lenten penAnc0 ~ upon "o,
season wherein men are expected to make
some special acts of tho virtues Of abnega-
ton and temperance, which ought, indeed
to be habitual with them, and some pre-
paration for the solemn occasion of the
Easter Communion. The fasts and alb
stinence Of lent, though distasteful to the
spirit of self-indulgencea and eDjoymen are
not intended to limit the actual require
ments of nature. Properly observed, the
regulations of the season, SO far from d.
mjnishing bodily vigor, or impairing
health, are eminently calculated to improve
both. They are very little more than
system for promoting the most perfect
health and strength.
There can be no doubt that the people,
especially in this country, eat great deal
too much for their own welfare. This GUS
tom is engendered and encouraged by the
variety of viands provided as we'll as by
the frequency with which recourse is had
to them. One full meal q day is as much
as any good medical authority will recon-
mend for those who are not engaged in
active bodily labor, yet most persons not so
occupied are tempted by stimulated ap-
petite to eat quite heartily two or three
times daily. Even after that, perhaps an
oyster supper OF some cake and wine will
be added to the already ample supply just
before going to bed. Headaches, bilious
ness, dyspepsia, and a general sense of dis
comfort follow. 1t is in vain that you tell
people to eat less. Prudence has but little
weight with them in such o case, and they
submit only to the injunctions of a positive
law. They must not eat at all but twice,
and one of those times must be a light re-
past. They who obey these regulations
carefully feel like new men in few
days, unless they have already been in
the habit of conforming their habits to
these precepts of wisdom.
But though the Church may have, in
some degree, contemplated the promotion
of health in instituting this prolonged fast,
this is by no means its principal object.
The virtues of modification and self-denial
are necessary to salvation. Men must be
taught to deny themselves of things unlaw-
full and there is no way SO eficacious for
acquiring this as by learning to deny them
selves in things not unlawful. There are
crosses which men must bear patiently if
they will be Christians; in order to become
expert in bearing these, let them practise
with others of lighter character.
1t is we'll to undergo penance and morti-
fcation in expiation, not of ain itself, but
of that degree of punishment which is still
reserved uponRan imperfect repentance. At
any rate, without going at-on into the
causes or reasons for such an observance,
all Christians are bound to fast and do
penance by two considerations; first our
divine Saviour himself and His disciples
set the example of this holy practice, and
secondly the Church has commanded its
adoption. They who are obedient will
profit by their obedience.
