The Princess Anne Herald which ia printed in
proximity TO some of the finest oyster beds on
the Peninsula says Of the oyster business for the
present season: From many who are engaged
in the oyster business in different parts Of the
country we. learn that this branch OF industry
has been very unprof tablo to the majority OF
those engaged owing in part to the very mild
weather, and In part to the over large number
pursuing this business. A greater number Of
oysters have been caught this season than
usual; the markets have been glutted, Consequent
figures to the seller. A great many contracted
debts last summer anticipating good season
they have been disappointed, and the result H.,
financial embarrassment to some, and labor
thrown away to others. We hope yet before
the season ia over, that the business may prove
more profitable than we at present have any
good reason to believe it to be,

Editors Intclllsencrr:
This doctrine Of giving to God one day
out Of seven may be all right enough as
far MS it goes, but it is not altogether &C
cordinS to the New Testament, and is per-
haps the reason why many make pious
show on Sundays and commit all kinds Of
indiscretion through the week. In the New
Testament we arc told that we are sancti-
fed by the blood OF Christ, and that by
him we should offer the sacrifice OF praise
to God continually that ia the fruit Of our
lips, giving thanks to his name. And we
arc commanded to abide in him and in his
love, and in his word, and never to re-
turn, and not even to look back to the
old order Of things.
By Acontinuous faith in Christ We en-
ioy continuous spiritual Sabbath or
rest, OF which the Sabbath was type, and
take possession OF the promised land or
state Of blessedness, and eat Of the fruits
thereof, such as love, joy, peace, temper
ance, &C., and fight the good fight Of faith
to overcome our enemies, the old man,
the flesh, the world aud the bad spirit;
and we preach and teach only the glad
tidings Of the great gift and love OF God
in Christ, and, the Sabbath comes OF itself.
For even the old man loves to rest not
only ON the seventh day, but rather on
six and do nothing on the seventh.
