livery team and Iso had the span o
greys belonging to Mr.. T. J. Wood
AS rule the dissertation of the Sab
bath always brings on some bad result,
and this case was no exception to thu
general rule. The party returned
from their days doings about sever
o'clock in the evening, returning the
teams to their proper owners. Mr.
Hail, who attends to Mr.. Wood!
horses came at six o'clock, as usual
to attend to the team. When be
found they were not in the barn he
returned to his home. When the
team did come Mr.. Frank Wood took
it upon himself to see that the horses
were properly taken care Of. He left
the barn believing everything was ii
proper order. In the night he was
awakened by Mrs. Wood and told
that she believed the horses were
loose. Mr.. Wood listened for about
ten minutes and not hearing any fur
| Their noise about the barn went to
sleep again. In the morning Mr.. Hall
came again and on entering the barn
found one of the horses loose and ap-
parently i'll. On examination it was
found he had eaten about one bushel
of oats and was dangerously sick.
Frank was notified and gave orders for
Mr.. Sweeney TO do his utmost to save
the beast. Notwithstanding all their
efforts the animal died at noon Mon
day, leaving Mr.. Wood 5000 out OF
pocket. We do not charge this loss
directly to the fishing smack and pic
mic, but had those horses remained in
the barn, where they properly be-
longed during this day, that horse
would be alive now. Had the Doud-
vile factory hands been in Doudville
on that fatal Sunday evening, we be-
lieye the factory would still be in ex-
istence to-day, as it is conceded by all
Doudville people who were present
that had the men been there the fac
tory could undoubtedly have been
saved.
Many well meaning people scott at
this view of business matters concern
ing the Sabbath, but mark the pro-
gross of the habitual Sabbath sbreak-
ers, and note if they do not pay very
dear for their sinfulness. Read the
following verses:
Proverbs 1st. Chapter, verses q to 27
inclusive.
How long, We simple ones. will ye
love simplicity? and the scorners de-
light in their scorning, and fools hate
knowledge? Turn you at my reproof;
behold, [ will pour out my spirit unto
you, | will make known my words IN
to you. Because [ have called and We
refused; [ have stretched out my hand
and no man regarded; But We have
set at nought all my counsel and
would none of my reproof: 1 also will
laugh at your calamity; [ will mock
when your fear cometh; When your
fear cometh as desolation, and your
destruction cometh as a whirlwind;
when distress and anguish cometh up
on you.
ProOer6s, Cd. Chapter, Uerses l to
9 inclusive
My son. if thou wilt receive my
words, and hide my commandments
with thee; So that thou incline thine
ear unto wisdom, and apply thine
heart to understanding; Yea, if thou
criest after knowledge, and liftest W
thy voice for understanding; IF thou
seekest her as silver and searchest fol-
her as for hid treasures; Then shalt
thou understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge Of God. For
the LORD giveth wisdom; out of his
mouth cometh knowledge and under.
standing. He layeth up sound wis
dom for the righteous; he is a bucklel
to them that walk uprightly. He
keepeth the paths of judgment, anJ
preservetb the way of his saints.
Ezekiel, Goth Chapter, Uerses Il
and IS.
Moreover also I gave them my sab
baths, to be sign between me anc
them, that they ght know that I an
the LORD that sanctify them. But
the house of Israel rebelled against me
in the wilderness; they walked not IL
my statutes, and they despised my
Judgments, which If man do, he
shall even live in them; and my sab
baths they greatly polluted; then
said, would pour out my fury upor
them in the wilderness to consume
them.
