Where 10 Spend sabbath nars.

In his Journal of Health, DR.. Hall
evinces himself equally as well quail
fed, in some cases at least, TO prescribe
for the cure of morals as for maladies
Hear him:
"Many man has confessed under
the gallows, that his downward pro-
gress began with misspent Sabbaths.
Upon investigation, it will be often
found, that the first steps taken were
in what many call "innocent recrea-
TONS" taking a drive, wandering in
fields, loiterings by the river side, or
visiting nelghbors.
At home, or at church, are the places
for spending the hours of the sacred
day; especially is it the way of safety
for yOungpeople-safety from the grog-
shop, the engine house, and the cham
bers of her whose ways go down to
death: and how much Of bodily dis
ease are traceable directly to these
three places, to say nothing of moral
COrruptions, any city physician. of
even moderate practice, has daily cog

TWEED'S ESCAPE.


The New York Times, noticing the
escape of Boss Tweed, says:
"In all probability Tweed was spir-
tied away very soon after he left Lud-
low-street Jail. The necessary arrange
meuts had doubtless been made before
hand, and all that Durham and Ha-
gan had to do was 20 keep out of the
way until after dark, and thus give the
odd man the benefit of long start
ahead. The day was, Of course, care
fully choseu-five steamers sailed for
Europe, aud Tweed might have been
safely Struggled on board almost any
one Of them, under cover OF a simple
disguise. The German steamer sailed,
we believe at two i'm the afternoun-a
convenient hour. rN eed was proba-
bly, well out on the Atlantic, comfort
ably tucked up in his berth, long be-
fore Durham went TO the police station
with his cock-and-bull story. Any~
body who supposes that he will ever
be seen in New York again must have
a degree of confidence in the resources
of justice which may be very charm
ing, but which can not be the fruit of
much experience or observation in
this city,

a Touching Incident.

A little boy had died. His body was
laid out in darkened room, waiting
to be laid in the cold grave. His af-
flicted mother and bereaved little sister
went in to look at the sweet face of the
precious little sleeper, for his face was
beautiful even in death. AS they
stood gazing on the face of one so be-
loved and cherished, the little girl
asked to shake his hand. The mother
at first did not think it best, but the
child repeated the request, and seemed
very anxious about it; she took the
cold, bloodless hand of her sleeping
boy and placed 1t in the hands of his
weeping little sister.
The dear child looked at it mo-
ment, caressed it fondly, and then
looked up to her mother through tears
and love, and said:
my mother, this hand neverstruck
me-"
What could have been more touch
ing and lovely?
