Sunday as a Day Of Rest.

HERETOFORE our custom and laws
have assumed and guarded the right of
every man to rest on Sunday. But
times are changing. The customs of
Europe, where most workingmen, and
women, too, have to work the whole or
part OF Sunday, are gaining a foothold
here.
The issue is one that it behooves the
American workingman to face in time,
and with decision, else sooner than he
thinks for, he may have to choose be-
tween his Sabbath and his bread.
But Look beyond the letter of the
commandment. In our days it has
come to be well understood that Just as
man needs the rest of the night, so he
needs the further rest of one day in
seven. AS mere working machine, he
can do more and better work in the
long run by resting one day in each
week than by working seven days.
Under uninterrupted labor he wears out
prematurely, and the Sunday rest is a
matter of mechanical economy.
What the engineers of the New York
Central q Hudson River Railroad said
few years ago, in their petition for
Sunday rest, is true of all classes of
workingmen: "This never ending toll
ruins our health, and prematurely
makes us feel worn out, like old men,
and we are sensible of our inability to
perform our duty as well when we work
to an excess. Give us the Sabbath for
rest after our week of laborious duties,
and we pledge you that the system in
vigorated by season of repose, with a
brain eased and cleared by hours of
relaxation, we can 60 to work with
more energy, more mental and physical
force, and can and will accomplish
more work and do it better, if posi-
BILE, in six days than we can now do in
seven"
But workman is something more
than working, eating and sleeping
machine. He is man, a citizen, a
husband, father, the head of fam
lily. He needs one day in seven, when
he can be his own master, when he can
take off the yoke of labor from his
neck, wipe the sweat from his brow and
the CRIME from his hands; when he can
be free to think, and read, and worship,
free to cultivate his heart and mind,
to enjoy his home and friends, and,
while making the most of this life, pre-
dare for the better life above. Chris
tan Weekly.

Count Them.

Count what? Why, count the mer-
cies which have been quietly falling in
your path through every period of your
history. Down they come every morn
ing and evening, angel messengers from
the Father of lights, to tell you of your
best Friend in Heaven. Have youlived
these years wasting mercies, treading
them beneath your feet, and consuming
them every day, and never yet realized
from whence they cameP If you have,
Heaven pity you! You have murmured
under your Affections; but who has
heard you rejoice over your blessings?
Do you ask what are these mercies?
Ask the sunbeam, the rain-drops, the
star or the Queen of night. What is
life but mercy? What is the propriety
OF stopping to play with a thorn-bush
when you may just as well pluck sweet
flowers and eat pleasant fruitsP Count
mercies before you complain of Attic
tion.-ErchGnge.

There has been altogether too much
cherishing of the idea that good bows

Thank God, we live in an age when the
sunlight of Christianity is no longer
shut out of our homes and churches.
when the gravestones are neither seen
in nor around our churches; when foun.
tains sparkle before them; when flowers
adorn the pulpit, and when iubilant
strains sometimes, though not as often
as we would desire. are heard from the
grand organ; when sometimes the SONGS
of birds are heard among the flowers on
anniversary day; when Windham and
China have given place in the Sunday
school to such hymns as,
lam so glad that our Father in Heaven
Tells of His love in the book He has given;
and when it is not considered worthy of
confession or penitence for one to smile
sometimes in church.
Among the many joys of home and
society that are given to us, religion is
the kang-j0u, and as king should rule
over all joys and subordinate them to
himself.
Nearly all principles in regard to
pleasure may he concentrated into two
sentences: Nothing is true pleasure
that is not pleasant to remember" and
"a good time does not go off with the
having" Since we are beings of men,
DRY, it does not pay to go into any
pleasure that is pleasant only in the
act, since it may come back to us at
future times in memory with bitterness
and suffering. Joseph's brethren had
momentary joy, since "'revenge is
sweet" when they sold their brother
into slavery, and got rid of rival; but
again and again in after years that act
came back to their memories with ut
ter bitterness, to teach them and us
that nothing is true pleasure that is not
pleasant to remember.
On the other hand, Job INDUCED in
the pleasure of doing good-helping
the orphan and the widow; and these
good times did not 60 off with the hav-
ing, for afterward, in his pains and
troubles, he called them back to men,
DRY, and said, 'When the eye saw me,
then it blessed me; when the ear heard
me it gave witness unto me, for 1 was
a father to the fatherless, and made the
widows heart to sing for JOY"
Religion, then, sends two messen-
gers to win the young to its ranks.
Duty comes and says: You ought to
be Christian" and Conscience echoes
the call, and side by side with duty
comes Joy, saying. 'In Christian life
there is fullness of 10y on earth, and
in its right hand pleasures forever

The Gladness OF Religion.

ONE of the elements of Christianity is
the ministry of good cheer-one 'sfruit
of the Spirit is JOY" An eccentric old
lady in describing her conversion, said,
"When was converted, it didn't make
me gloomy; but l moved out of Grum-
BILE Alley into Thanksgiving street, and
| have been living there ever since"
Every Christian can and should live on
Thanksgiving street, in a corner house
with plenty of light, from the time of
his conversion until he moves into his
eternal home on the golden streets. As
far as Joy is concerned, we can even in
this life dwell in the suburbs of the
Celestial City, at "the very gate of
Heaven"
As we read in the book of Acts the
records of the early church, we find fire.
quently the words prisons .'chains,"
but in spite of these we see as frequent
ly the words "joy'' and rejoicing"
They make the Lords Day not only a
day of rest and worship, but also day
of jubilant thanksgiving, instead of the
solemnity which in some periods has
been associated with it. The Lord S
Supper was less solemn than in more
recent centuries, being really a Euchar-
ist-a thanksgiving for the glorious re
suits of Christ's death.
In the Dark Ages, as the church's life
was frozen into formality, its Joy was
at the same time chilled into solemnity.
The ministers were muffled in mourn
ing robes to the chin-strange contrast
to the bright Oriental dress of the Apos-
ties. Their words were also chilled
into writing and bound in mourning
covers of black. Churches came to be
framed in graveyards, and at length the
walls were frescoed and plastered with
tombstones, and dead men were buried
beneath the pull pit as if to preserve I'M
broken solemnity in the lifeless man
who preached above.
A little of this overshadowing of

perhaps other cities, which put on the

Simplicity.

1T is utter forgetfulness of self that

ness does not always show itself with
equal offensiveness; sometimes it ap-

in overbearing assumption; again it is
chiefly manifest in extreme embarrass-
ment of manner; but it is always a loss

Sef-consciousness is not inconsistent

are sincere without being simple.
They do not wish to be taken for other
than what they are; but they are al

never busy thinking about himself; and
seems to have lost that ego about

The "M0rning Calls" in the French
Quarter of New Orleans.

YESTERDAY morning I took a stroll
through some of the narrow streets of
the old French quarter of our city,
where
The jingle Of the fragments bells and the song
of the Ldtanier
Can be heard on every crossing, and in every
passage way,
And the cries of " Clothes pole, madam?' and
Belle colas tout chGud,"
Are followed closely by the organ grinding
out the Heel and Toe"
AS walked through the quaint streets
noticed that many of the houses, once
the scenes of mirth and pleasure in the
old creole days, were in a dilapidated
condition, and that the roofs of some
projected far over the banquette under
the weight of the heavy tile covering.
Many of these old corner buildings are
now occupied by creoles, Spanish and
Italians, who sell fruit of all kinds and
bicre creole, favorite beverage with the
creole children. These people take
great pains in decorating their shop
windows, and always pointto them with
pride. Every evening, Sunday especial
ly, these small shops are crowded with
little children, who come from all parts
of the district to spend their picayunes
for plartneS or for cool glass of dsere
creole.
One shop window particularly attract
ed my attention. In the center there
was a beautiful pyramid of plarines,
made of all colors, with fruit of all kinds
tastefully arranged in front and on eth
.er side of the pyramid, making altogeth-
-er very pretty picture for the children
that crowded around the window every
evening.
AS stood there gazing into the lit
tie shop window, the sweet and solemn
music of the chime of bells suddenly
pealed forth from the towers of the St.
Louis Cathedral, and in minute after
ward old and young,igrave and gay,
could be seen, with beads in hand, hur-

Poisonous Springs In California.

AMONG the many curious things to be
seen in Mendocino County are the poi
son springs near Hopland. They are
situated about two miles north of Hop
land and on the banks of the Russian Riv-
er. Though near travelled route, but few
people know of it's existence. They are
located on small marsh, which is des-
titute of trees, though surrounded by q
heavy underground. On this marsh are
several pool-like springs. The water
itself is not poisonous, but the gas aris-
ing out of one of the seams in the earth is
very poisonous. Scattered about the
springs are the bones of animals that
have fallen victims to its poisonous va
por. Foxes, rabbits and squirrels have
been among the victims. 1t is said that
even the birds flying low down over the
springs are sometimes poisoned and fall
to the ground. A reliable gentleman
relates that he has seen as many as three
foxes lying by the springs at one time.
Nor is it the lower animals only that
have been poisoned, as several Indians
have been killed by it. They attribute
medical virtue to the vapor, and some
times go to these springs to inhale it.
The effect is dizziness; they soon become
overpowered unless they leave and go to
the pure air. 1t is said that the fumes
are stronger in the morning than at any
other time. 1t is related of Scott, the
bear-hunter, that he was hunting in ear
ly days near this spot and did not know
of these springs. One of his best dogs
went to the springs and Scott himself
soon followed. He found his dog in the
throes of death, and, unaware of the
cause, he himself was nearly overpow.

are we'll known in the vicinity. There

A Mans Life Saved by Feather Bed.

A LIVELY fracas occurred recently,
ut Silver Star, between q man named
Frank Rodgers, well known in Butte, and
a teamster, whose name could not be
ascertained. 1t appears that the two
men were engaged in playing poker,
when hot dispute arose about the deal.
Rodgers pulled six-shooter and, holding
it up against the body of the freighter,
told him to "give up that money! The
latter, though not apparently alarmed, re-
luested Rogers not to shoot him down
like a dog, when he was told to 90 and
heel himself and to come back a-shoot-
I'M" The teamster left the house and
Rogers retained his seat, ready for war.
In few moments Rodgers happened to
glance toward the door, which was part
ly open, and was considerably alarmed
to see double-barreled shotgun point
ed at him, the teamster behind it with
fire in his eye. Rodgers made q Jump for
the back door leading into bed room
and was closely followed by his enraged
foe. The room being somewhat dark,
and the bed not having been made up.
the teamster mistook the clothes, which
were lying in a heap, for Rodgers, at
whose supposed body he blazed away
with both barrels. The room was at
once filed with smoke and feathers.

apartment, intending to bring out all
