SATURDAY NIGHT.-Among the
multitude of suggestions for spending
Sunday in profitable way, beg leave
to say that Saturday night has close
connection with it.
Saturday night is one of the resting
places in the journey of life, when it
becomes every man to settle his ac-
counts.
1. Settle 1cith the lcOrld. The busi-
ness of single week is easily review
edits mistakes may be easily recti-
fed, its experience turned to good ac-
count. The man of business should
sometime on Saturday look over his
books, examine his outstanding debts,
and see that all is straight and safe.
This is all the more important if his ac-
counts are numerous. Great watchful-
ness is required, if he would escape en-
barrassment and trouble. He who
knows exactly how he stands every
Saturday night, will not be likely to
live very poor man; or if he does, he
will hardly ever be found in debt or in
want.
3. Settle Uith conscience. Let him re-
view his words and his iSactions, his mo-
tives and feelings during the past
Weeh. II duy tuluS 10 oOCh W 10 WiOhs
or defective, land who is he that sim
meth not?) let the remembrance Of it be
carried into the next week, that rep
etition of it may be avoided. Let him
in prayer not only seek forgiveness for
what has been amiss through the past,
but grace to do better the coming week.
3. Settle tUith the Lords Treasury. Ev-
cry man owes constant returns of graft
itude to the Giver of all good. Is it not
meet to finish the settlement of Satur-
day night by reviewing all the mer
cies of the week, and setting apart a
portion of its profits to serve some
cause that will promote the glory of
Him who gave himself for us?
How much better, happier might life
be with downright honest settlement
every Saturday night! How much
brighter would Sunday morning be;
how much more profitable the whole
day.

of July celebration in this city. The musi
has been written by Professor Knoeller, o

SONG OF 1876.
Waken, voice of the LBnd's Devotion
Spirit of freedom, waken all
Ring, ye shores, to the Song OF Ocean,
Rivers, answer, and mountains, call
The golden day has come;
Let every tongue be dumb
That sounded its malice or murmured its fears
She hath won her story;
She wears her glory;
We crown her the Land of Hundred Years
Out of darkness and toll and danger
Into the light of Victorys day.
Help to the weak and Home to the stranger
Freedom to all, she hath held her way,
Now Europe's orphans rest
Upon her mother-breast.
The voices of nations are heard in the cheers
That shall cast upon her
New love and honor,
And crown her the Queen of Hundred Years
North and South, we are met as brothers;
East and West, we are welded as one!
Right of each shall secure our mothers
Child of each is her faithful son
We give thee heart and hand,
Our glorious native land,
For battle has tried thee, and time endears;
We viii write thy story,
And keep thy glory
As pure as of old for Thousand Years
The following by Mr.. William Cullen Bry
ant, written'at the request of the same com
mittee, was originally intended to be recited
but will be sung on the morning of the Fourti
of July at the Academy of Music. The &C
compartment is to be by Professor II. Mo
senthal, of the Mendelsssohn Club:
CENTENNIAL HYMN.
Through storm and calm the years have LED
Our nation on from stage to stage,
A ccnturys space, until we tread
The threshold of another age.
We see where DER our pathway swept
A torrent stream of blood and fire;
And thank the guardian power who kept
Our sacred league of States entire.
Oh checkered train of years, farewell,
With all thy strifes and hopes and fears;
But with us let thy memories dwell,
To warn and teach thy coming years.
And thou, the new-beginning age,
Warned by the past, and not in vain,
Write on a fairer, whittier page
The record of thy happier reign.

THE SABBATH.-While there is
growing disregard OF the Sabbath in
our own land, and much public viola
tion of it, ageinst which Christian peo-
pie and the Christian press do not fail
to protest, there comes cheering news
from across the Pacific. Japan has
heretofore recognized six resting days
in each month. Now, by Government
proclamation, these are abolished and
the Sabbath appointed in their place.
This does not mean that the day is to
be regarded as holy to the Lord, but
that it is merely day Of rest.

EXALTED TO GIVE.-When the Jew.
ish rulers, who had sworn the life O1
Jesus away before the teibunal of the
Roman governor, heard first of his res
direction they demonstrated with the
witnesses, 'Ye intend TO bring this
mans blood upon usn The resurrec
tion of Jesus had no other meaning tO
them than vengeance. They reasoned,
If he whom we slew is exalted, woe
unto us' But to these very men the
apostles:preached pardon. They pro.
claimed that Jesus is exalted tor the
purpose of showing mercy TO his mur-
derers. He is exalted To give, and he
gives even unto them. He gives to all,
and upbraideth not. Now that he is
exalted, and his enemies are in his
power, instead of taking vengeance he
gives remission of sins.
The water is exalted into the heavens
in order that he may give rain upon
the earth-it is exalted to give. 1t is
drawn up as by resurrection, and
arises rure into the heavens, that it
may be in capacity to lend refresh
ing showers to the thirsty ground. In
the same way He who came as the
rain ON the mown grass was exalted
that He might give-that He might
give Himself as the living water to
His own.

We have heard many good words for
the excellent management OF the affairs OF
the M. X. d T. railway, by Hon. VIM.
Bond, since his appointment IS Receiver.
We understand the financial affairs Of the
road are in most satisfactory shape, and
that its earnings are most encouraging to
all concerned. In this work he is ably
assisted by Major Garner, General Super
intendent, and by Col. Jaynes, treasurer
of the road. Mr.. Bond has ma de many
changes In the management OF lis affairs,
none of which have exhibited better
judgment, In our opinion, than his decis.
ion tie remove the Land Office Department
from eOsho Falls to Emporia. COnsid-
erln2 our central location and our rail-
road facilities this change will certainly
prove beneficial to the interest OF the
business in the land department. The
order for the removal, which comes
through Mr.. Bond, has already
been Issued. 1t was the uni
versal desire or the Directors to
have the Office come here on account OF
the advantages named above. or course,
our fellOw-citizen, Hon. II. e. Cross, who
is n member OF the Board, was active for
the Interests Of our city. He was backed
strongly in his efforts by Ben Mcdonald
Of TT. scott, and q. II. Pratt, Esq, OF
Humboldt, also members Of the Board Of
Directors. Capt. A. M. Somers, the new
Commissioner, was also friendly to our
claims. liz this nnection we may say
that the Captain has been appointed as
the new Land Commissioner, and we are
OF opinion that the authorities OF the
road have done wise thing in selecting
him. On account Of his long connection
with the office. AS secretary, he is well
posted in every duty devolving upon the
Commissioner, and is In every way pecu-
liarly qualified for their discharge.
Rooms III the NEWS block have been
secured, for the office. The main Office
will be in the corner room now occupied
by the land Office OF IL. Z. Norton. -Four
rooms on the second floor will also be oc-
cupied.

This city and county have treated the
railroads in business way, having paid
the interest on the bonds promptly,
without any attempt to repudiate, and we
are glad the company now makes some
return by locating Its general land office
in our city.
