which arose concerning the preparing of

mcrly the Committee on tho Narrative Of
the State of Religion made most admira-
biz reports. The committee used 10 take
seats at table, and when the statistical
reports were read they took notes and pro-
pounded questions, and the result was
much more satisfactory than can possibly
be obtained by the use OF blanks These
blanks only seek to report success. Yer
bal reports would draw out the want o: 1t
and elicit sympathy and counsel. Again,
the use Of these blanks would result in
flooding the committee with information.
They would suffer from plethora Of in
formation instead Of want Of 1t.

Judge him as an author, preacher, a
member of society; but those only who
lived with him in the intimacy of every
day life at home, can tell what he was as

ages in his private letters, veil must be
thrown; but it will not be lifting it too
far to say, that if in the highest, closest Of
earthly relationships, love that never

and thirty years-a love which never

The BASIS OF THE CIVIL SABBATH
These are some of the grounds upon
which it rests:
First-Every human being, by the ne
cessity of his nature, needs a rest of one
entire day in seven, added to his nightly
rest. in sleep, for the restoration Of
strength exhausted by the labors and
cares of six successive days. "His very
heart and flesh cry out for it." The free
citizen has the same natural right to be
protected by law from the disturbance
on his weekly rest day as in his nightly
sleep.
Seeond-The State needs the rest day
for the protection and pormotin of good
morals, good order, the public peace and
public decency. "The Sabbath law, con-
sidered as police regulation, rest on the
foundations which upheld laws prohibit
ing gambling, lotteries, polygamy, disor-
derly houses, the sale of intoxicating liq-
uors on election days, and the like. The
State Furnishes all these offences, Sabbath
breaking included, not as sins against
God, but as injuries on Society,"-(Su-
preme Court of New York.
Third-No citizen should be required
by law to worship God, even on Sunday,
for the sake of public morals. But the
law ought to restrain him from disturb
ing those who choose to devote their rest
day to religious worship, for this amounts
to other ends, namely, the welware of the
whole people. Considered as an educa-
tional agency, the Sabbath stands side
by side with our schools of learning; and
both ought, for the same reason, 10 be
protected from molestation.
Fourth-Our citizens have a natural
right to undisturbed worship on the day
set apart for rest by the usage of the
American people from the settlement of
the country. This right cannot be Sc
cured amidst the noise and stir of ordi
nary labor and public amusement. Be-
sides, those who carry on their business
on Sunday virtually compel their neigh
bors in the same business to do the same.
In the active competitions of life, "the
liberty of rest for each man depends on
the law of rest for all"

that she had first attired herself in clean
underclothing, over which she wore
fine night dress. Then, after carefully
dressing herself as noted, she had got
into the bed and arranged the bed-cloth-
ing; the coverlct had been neatly turned
over to her waist and tucked in on all
sides of the bed, while underneath her
head and about her neck she had folded
quilt to prevent the blood from flowing
upon her night clothes or soiling the
clothing. Everything ready, she
placed the pistol to her right temple and
fired. Her husband rushed to the spot,
but before he could secure a physician
