How TO OBSERVE SUSDAY.-The question Of
the proper observance OF Sunday has been
much disputed one, and is one OF much inter
est. A certain amount Of religious services
should of course form part OF each Sundays
life; should indeed be its central idea, bnt 1t
should not infringe upon the demands OF over
worked nature for rest But what is rest
Clearly what would be rest to one would not
be to another. What would increase vitality
and strength to the day laborer would make
the weary student, book k-keeper or editor more
weary. The work OF the six week days, what
ever 1t is, should be put entirely out Of sight
from Saturday until Monday. Mental labor
reading. writing or other employment that re-
quires mental effort. Physical laborers must
cease physical labor, and can obtain the desIred
rest IN mental improvement. Those whose
week days are spent within the four walls OF a
store or an office, should be in the open air,
in the broad fields, where they can breath
natures purest aerial draughts, as much as
possible. Those who labor out OF doors Will
find their greatest rest and enjoyment on Sun
day in their homes. The business man and
the banker should cease all thought OF bis
business, take a complete respite from all
thoughts OF shop" and Sunday for all classes
should be made as widely different from other
days in the week as possible. II should be
made enjoyable, especially for the children,
that they may grow up with the love OF the
day, instead of an aversion for 1t, as is too
common even IN the best OF Christian families.
The observance of the day in each household
should he made study, that the most profit
able and rest-siung enjoyments TO suit each
case may be found, and then let the observ-
ance Of the day. once settled, be lived up to as
strictly as a business transaction. The day
should have ITS distinctive features; religious
culture; freedom from toll FOR servant as well
as master; rest IN its true sense, and enjoy
msnt Of the higher order, which reaxes be
nervous system, and is one OF natures grestest
restoratives. all have their place, and none OF
them should be nsglectsd.-PittsbuB Tele-

They say dark hours the darker seem
Just ere 1t breaks above,
And Hope, as from frightful dream,
Awakes beside her love -
And like the lone acacia tree,
The prairie fire consumes,
Tho blighted, still her soul can be
Distilled in sweet perfumes.
But II the darkest is not yet.
From which the morning wakes.
What throes Of anguish may not fret
This bosom ere it breaks
The lights and shades, In daily turn,
Check DER me like a plaid
Bright beams of hope, that cease to burn
In doubtful darkness sad.
Persistent Hope, sweet child OF heaven.
Immortal spirit fair
