The Sabbath.


| Dry as our former article was, we
venture on another, hoping that the
subject. II not the articles may become
interesting as we progress.
The Obligations to observe the Holy
Sabbath are two-fold. namely. moral
and legal; either of which is of suffi-
cient authority to excite respect from
every good citizen of our Christian
land. Moral obligations are those grow
ing out of the wants and relations Of
our higher spiritual nature, and deter
mine q moral obliquity in their violation
in proportion to the Importance of the
want. and the dignity of the relation.
The development in US. of our animal
nature is perhaps promoted more by
cur contact with things Of an earthly,
sensual nature, in secular employments,
than from any other cause Not that
secular pursuits are necessarily de-
grading, we have the best proof from
the highest authority to the contrary.

ness? he shall stand before king,; he
shall not stand before mean men But

ployments those which are hallowed;

FThe best time for painting the
exterior of buildings is late in the au-
tumn or during the winter. Paint then
applied will endure twice as long as
when applied in early summer, or in
hot weather. In the former it dries
slowly and becomes hard, ike glazed
surface, not easily affected afterwsrd
by the weather, or worn off by the
beating of storms. But 10 very hot
weather the oil in the paint soaks into
the wood at once, as into a sponge,
leaving the lead nearly dry, and nearly
ready to crumbIe off This last diff
Guilty, however, might be guarded
against, though at an increased expense,
by first going over the surface with raw
oil. By painting in cold weather. one
annoyance might certainly be escsped,.

Melinda's Trail.
BY,JoNES.

Whereby hangs tale, sir? Marry, sir.
-OthellO.
Mistress, you must tell us another tale.
-Ttoelth Night.
She walks upon the Avenue,
This female friend of mine,
With figure that is exquisite,
And face that is divine,
And dresses in the latest style,
That develops much behind.
The hair upon her philo.
Is heaped up like a stack,
The pannier ON her n. W. side -
Looks like camel's back.
Her trailSupOn the dirty street
K>eomet in its track.
This trail fslmade of satin
Or silk, as may be SEEM.
And cost her verGH9t father
No end of backs called green,
And for the sweeping of theNStreet
lsrather high machine.
The fashion comes from Europe,
Where It's called a carriage dress;
But Melinda has no carriage
Her little soul to bless,
So the filthy bricks andasphalt
GetR satiny caress.
Now as Melinda sweeps along
The sunny Avenue
She looks so pure and innocent
In every line and hue,
She seems an angel in disguise
Dropped from the very blue.
But when this lovely creature seeks
At home her nights repOSe,
And d0nS her carriage garment, lord
What facts she can disclose
In the horrible condition
Of her hidden underclOthes.
Her Balbriggans, that's Irish now
For a better style of hose,
IIayedust and dirt and Odor too,
Enough 10 turn ones nose,
While her petticoats, &c,

She gets II on the avenue
And holds it ut retail;
But what Il tale she can unfold
In unfolding of her trail.
'T'is said on one occasion she
Turned out many Il quid,
Some very dirty paper and
An old tobacco lid,
A defunct frog and something worse
That in the folds were hid.
Now if yOH meet Melinda sweet
In all her glittering show,
And feel soft emotion where
The heart thrObs come and go,
The cure is to remember well
Her fearful fix below.

My heart in tie aiIrS
Grows tender as winter d. lear,
And alone, stand by the window
Looking ont on the fall of the yesiAH
For ceased have the sleeting and raining
And Low in the stiffness, know
By the vagrant Ilakes that are falling
That all the night long it will snow.
And 10, as it falls in the valley,
In the deep still wood, and the sea,
So alike it comes down in the darkness,
OF the life that God gave unto me;
For the clouds of that life have been rain
ing
And the fall of the year running low,
And so, the long winter is coming
| With its wearisome burden of snow.
And think of my poor little darling,
Inher little grave under the leaves,
Only dress'd in a shrOud of Swiss mus
lin,
Cut low at the neck and the sleeves;
For she died when tile manifold lilies,
And wOodbines, and asphodels blow,
And the meek little facein the coffin
Was as pure and as white as the snow.
And now | remember, while thinking,
How year ago she and stood
Talking here by the window together
OF tile Robins and Babes in the wood;
And she kiss'd me, and ask'd, eff the
brides
And God lOv'd all the little folks so?'
But, alas, did think that my birdie
Would sleep tonight under the snow?
But she needs not the care of the brides,
Though the robins may gather and
sing,
And grasses come up, and the roses
Blow full in the beautiful spring;
For | ween she's the May-queen of
angels.
In the land of no longing and woe,
Where all the year long it is summer,
With no weary burden of snow.

1t would be difficult to describe the ma
ture and extent of the feeling produced
on the other side OF the river by the an
nouncement Of the suspension OF the Hoboken
Savings Bank. In no part OF the country are
there many OF the poorer class of people-widows,
servants, !aborers and struggling mechanics -nter-
ested in a savings bank as in Hoboken. There
is much consolation, however, in the fact that
there are prospects OF serious losses to be sus-
tanned by those suffering creatures In con
formity with the request OF the directors
hundreds of depositors came to the bank yes
terday to hand in their pass books Tor examlna-
ton. More than one half OF the entire number of
source OF the other depositors at present is to
SURRENDER THEIR BOOKS
procuring an acknowledgment thereon, in order
that the public may speedily be relieved OF their
anxiety. When the mournful procession OF yester-
day-a train OF ragged and afflicted working girls,
aged widows and trembling paupers, vending their
way to the gloomy portals OF the instltution-is
considered, 1t is not difficult to imagine how the
hearts of the directors were moved, and tacit
understanding was arrived at by which the drec-

From o statement made by Mr.. Warren, who with
numerous experts, Is now overhaulng the ac-

there are only few men in the present Board who
inspire universal confidence. In the meantime the

sensational canards have been set afOat in rela-
ton to the suspension, whose sole effect will be to
