The Sabbath was made for man. Got
made it for men in ii certain spiritual state
because they needed it. The need. there
fore, is deeply hidden In human nature. He
who can dispense with it must he holy and
spiritual indeed. AND he who, still unholy
and nnspiritual, would yet dispense with It,
is a man that would fain be wiser than his
maker.-F. ". Robertson.

What Chandler Saw.
Baltimore Gazette.

Senator Zachariah Chandler,
whose position enabled him to
see everything that was going
on in the rear, described in his
recent speech against JEFF Davis
in the Senate some of the tragic
events which passed under his
observation during that exasper-
ating period. He said:
'G remained here, sir, during
the whole of that terrible rebel
lion. / saw our brave soldiers
by thousands might almost
say by millions-as they passed
on to the theatre Of war. | saw
their shattered ranks returning.
/ saw steamboat after steamboat
and railroad train after railroad
train bringing back the wounded.
[ was with my friend pointing
to General Burnside) when he
commanded the army Of the Po-
tomac, and saw piles of legs and
arms that would make humanity
shudder. / saw the widows and
orphans made by this war"
1t is generally believed, Mr..
Chandler, that you also saw
very long line of army suffers
and quartermasters and a few
disabled contractors, and that if
General Burnside had remained
longer in command of the army
you would have seen piles Of legs
and arms which would have made
Ossa look like a wart. 1t is also
currently believed, Mr.. Chandler,
that during the most exciting
of the war you also
saw snakes and things.

Lending Money.

The Missouri Legislature has
a bill to regulate the lending OF
money in that State, and a citi-
zen of Lexington, Missouri,
writes concerning the billas fol-
lows:
"Ifa man is far seeing enough
to borrow money at 10, or even
20 per cent, and make it prof.
table, is he not entitled to the
reward CT his sagac typ Pre-
cisely the same idea was advan-
ced yesterday by one of our
most enterprising farmers in a
conversation with me. He said
that justsafter the war he had a
large crop of corn which, from its
situation and other circumstan-
ces, was virtually worthless to
him unless lie could buy cattle
to feed it to. Few men then
had the nerve to venture in any
thing, least of all to lend money.
But he got money at Is per
cent. and, as he said, 81 made
more money out of that Is per
cent. money than [ have ever
made on 10 per cent. money"
Tie went on to say that he could
see no reason why money should
not be worth what it would
bring, and why the Legislatures
should attempt to deprive men
of their just rights in borrowing
and loaning money"
The principal business Of our
.
banks is with the farmers. +
have taken the pains to talk to
a good many of them on this
subject, and without exception
they not only declare them
selves opposed to the proposed
legislation, but also say that
they "think the price of money |
will regulate ITSELF" and that "a
mans money is worth what it
will bring" These sensible and
liberal views being held by the
farmers, the custom is for whom
are the legislators passing usu-
ry laws? .

Hot and Cold.

A good story is told of Rev.
HadleoProctor, who once preach
ed in Rutland, Vermont. One
cold day, when the church was
but half warmed, brother Proc
tor had for his text a very warm
verse. Just before the benedic-
ton he leaned forward and said
to one of the deacons in front Of
the pulpit, in tones loud enough
to be heard by all: Brother
Griggs, do see that this house is
better warmed this afternoon.
It's no kind Of use for me to
warn sinners iof the danger of
hell when the very idea of hell is
a comfort to them"

A Dangerous Playthipg.

The Sacramento (Cal. Rec
ord-Union says: An uptown
store keeper has been the pro-
prietor of a young skunk, a di-
minutivc affair, as gentle and
playful as a kitten first begin
ming to frisk about, it having
been brought to him from the
country by a ranchman who was
hauling wood for him. Forsev-
eral days it was the pet Of the
establishment, not being consid-
cred dangerous, owing to its
youth. 1t took kindly to any
and everybody who had a kind
word or a little dclieacy TO offer
it, and its owner was greatly
pleased with his acquisition.
Matters were in this fix until a
large Newfoundland dog, pos
sesscd of an extreme antipathy
to cats, happened to enter the
store ard catch a sight of the
new pet. Taking it for kitten,
he dashed in pursuit. They
raced for a few yards, but sud-
denly the skuak sprung upon
his owners lap, faced the dog
and whisped his tail toward him.
The dog did not stay on the order
of going, butfan out with his
tail between bis legs; the skunk
was dashed down and killed;fhe
grocer had to burn his clothes,
and the store has not got over
the fumigation yet. Is

Mason was an unsuccessful
grocer in L;ttleridge, Mich.
lie had been a Methodist, but
bankruptcy in business led him
to carelessness aoout religion,
although he vas exceedingly
superstitious. He wrote out a
formal offer, the purport of
which was that he was to be
given twenty years of wealth
and then his soul was to go in
to the devils possession. This
document he suspended over a
fire. round which he performed
incantations of his own inven-
ton. Although several weeks
have elapsed he has not gained
wealth, nor received any inti-
nation that the bargain has been
closed.

This is the way that the spe-
cial correspondent the Dallas
Herald expiates ON the members
of the Texas Legislature: There
is an unusual number. of un-
quenchable, ncver-let-up wind
mills who look upon the legisla-
tive hall as if it was.ar stump in
some vast wilderness where these
embryo Patrick Heniys may
roar without disturbing the oc-
cupants of the jungle. With
unpardonable gaiety they mount
the legislative forum and gyrate
with as much assurance as if the
State had erected buildings at
an expense of thousands for their
purpose, and was proud of the
privilege of expending a per di-
em that these cross-road and
fence-corner orators may expose
themselves ridiculously to the
gaze of intelligent Texans.

BORRLOBOOLA CHA.

A stranger preached last Sunday
And crowds of people came,
To hear two-hours' sermon
With barbarsus sounding name,
Twas all about some heathen
Thousands Of miles afar,
Who lived in a land Of darkness,
Called "Boriioboola Cha"
So well their wants he pictured
That when the plate was passed
Each listener felt bis pocket,
And goodly sums were cast;
For all must lend a shoulder
To push the rolling car
That carried fe and comfort
To "Dorrioboola Gha.'
That night their wants and sorrows
Lay heavy on my SOU,
And in deep meditation
took my morning stroll,
Til someihir G caught my mantle
With eager grasp and wild,
And, looking down with wonder,
! saw little child.
A pale and puny creature
In dirt and rags forlorn,
What could she want [ questioned,
Impatient to be gone.
With trembling voice she answered.:
I've live just down the street,
, And mamma she's a-dyih' 4e
And we've nothing left to eat"
Down in a wretched bas,men',
With mold upeu the walls,
Thro' whose half-buried windows
Gods sunshine never falls;
Where cold, and want, and hunger
Crouched ear her as she lay,
I found fellow or, azure
Ga$pihg her life away.
A chair, broken table.
A bed of dirty straw,
A hearth all dark and freless-
But these scarcely saw,
For the mournrul sight before me,
The sad and sick'ning show
Oh, mover had pictured
A scene so full of woe.
The famished and the naked,
The babes that pine for bread,
The squalid group that huddled -
81 Around the dying bed;
All this distress and sorrow
Should be in lands afar;
Was suddenly transplanted
To "Borrioboola Cha
All no the poor and wre!ch-d ..e
Were close beside the door,
AMI had passed them needless
A Thousand times before.
Alas for the cold and hungry
That met me every day,
While all my tears were given
To the suffering far away.
There's work enough for Christians
In distant lands we know
Our Lord commands His servants
Through all the world to go.
Not only to the hedthen-
This was His charge to them:
"Go, preach the word. beginning
First at Jerusalem"
0, Christian, God has promised
Whoe'er to thee has given
A cup of pure cold water
Shall find reward in heaven.
Would you secure the blessing.
You need not seek it far;
Go. find in yonder hovcl
A "Borrioboola Cha"
