THE IDEAL SABBATH.

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at
home when the head of the household
farmer or mechanic, merchant or law
yer, capitalist or operative-enjoys his
weekly rest among those for whom his
six days of labor have been spent.
Whether the Sabbattic institution was
or was not created by the fourth COM
mandment, there seems to be in those
words, Thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy
maid-servant, glimpse of the restful
enjoyment which the day of rest, in the
primitive conception of it. would bring
to the families that keep it.
The day of rest, being rest and not
revelry or dissipation, and being there
fore a day of home enjoyment, brings
with it opportunity for sober thought
and conference. A Sabbath-keeping
people will become thoughtful people,
and such tboughtfulness is manliness.
All men, and especially the busy mil
lions IN an advanced civilization like
our own, need for the mind sake, not
les than for the sake of wearied nerves
and muscles, the seventh-day intermis-
sion of their ordinary work. A true
Sabbath is something far more restful
than day of noisy jollty. In its calm
air the mind rests by thought, not
thoughtlessness-by quiet musing, by
conscious or unconscious retrospection;
perhaps by considsideration of what
might have been, perhaps by think
ing what may yet be, perhaps by aspi-
ration and resolve toward something in
the future that shall be better than
what has been in the past. The home
in which Sunday is day of rest and
home enjoyment is hallowed by the Sab
baths which it hallows. In the Sab
bath-keeping village life is less frivolous,
and at the same time industry is more
productive, for the weekly rest. A Sab
bath-keepiDg nation is greater in peace
and in war for the character which its
tranquil and thoughtful Sabbaths have
impressed upon it.-ReU. DR.. Bacon.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1880-11-15
s'WRECKED."

Few men can hear of the loss of
gallant ship without the touch of sad
ness. Life has been compared to the
great ocean, and men to the ships which
sail thereon. When a bark which has
braved the tempests of strange seas
comes homo with rusted hull and latter
cd sail, men welcome her back Just as
they do one of their own kind who
has journeyed afar and passed through
peril to benefit his race 1t is when we
come upon the wreck of a once noble
ship that men try hardest to remember
how we'll she served her builders. 1t is
when we hear that some gallant bark
is missing, leaving no sign nor track,
that men are awed as they speak her
name.
There is nothing that will touch and
soften the heart like the sight of wrecks
which drift here and there on lifes
ocean-once grand and gifted men
now blown hither and thither, now going
with currents, now hidden from sight
by the mantle of night, or the mystic
rious fog. He who visits an asylum for
the insane which is ever changing its
surface and its shores-one moment the
waters will be calm and pcaceful-the
next there will be the roar of storm and
growl of breakers. Before him will
drift wrecks without number-some
moving slowly out of the fog-some
drifting into it-some skirting the shores
on which stand fearful friends to wave
farewells-others being carried by un-
seen currents afar to sea.
1t is an ocean without harbor or
refuge. Once wreck upon its bosom
and there is no landing. Day and night,
for weeks and months and years, the
dismasted and dismantled hulks weave
in and out of the fog-in and out of
the sunlight-whirl slowly about in the
eddies-catch on the shoals and go driv-
ing further out upon the troubled waters.
Storm an rust and time are silently at
work. and one by one, as the years creep
on. old wrecks sink silently into the sea
and are heard of no more.
When men die we forget that they
we're like those who still live on. We
forget all that was bad in them and re-
member all that was good. We know
that they are dead, and the busy world
closes up the gap and marches along
but when men sail out on life's ocean t.
