Sundays This may be more correctly
expressed by stating that no Sunday is
included in Lent, there being forty
week days from Ash Wednesday to
Saturday inclusive Immediately pre-
ceding Easter But does the Episcopal
Church from that fact encourage much
cooking on Sundays? No, not when
attended with labor Is cold or warm
food ordinarily the more wholesome /?
Cold food usually. Are many diseases
greatly relieved and sometimes cured
or prevented by its use on two or three
days or even only one day Of the week,
and is this per- Sc adequate cause or adj
ditional and providential reason for
little or no cooking on Sunday, and
are cold meats and cold bread
often-times great help to medicinal
treatment? Yes.
The study Of physiology in connect
ion with religion is essential, owing 10
the intimate union and sympathy be
tween the mind and the body. Why
are many-perhaps the majority-of
Christians at times subjects of hypo-
chondriasis, great depression and par
tial scepticism1 Due to some abnor-
NAL state of the body, the liver in most
cases requiring a remedy.
Why does the Church of England
or the +. Church in the United States
deem it unlawful to make Sunday a
Fast-day? For the reason that it is a
labor to fast, and Sunday-owing to
the commandment with reference to
the Mosaic sabbath-is a day of rest
and not of labor, and is an occasion OF
delight and exultation in that the lovely
and beneGcent Jesus did on the first
day of the week rise from the dead.

II Congress on Wednesday last MIR
Covington succeeded, after considera-
bic opposition, in getting the House
TO pass the bill for the relief Of Mr..
Charles Collins. The bill has been be-
fore the past two Congresses. Mr.. Col
Inns Is the postmaster at Berlin, this
county, and on the night of November
23d, 1877, was robbed of postage
stamps to the amount of $337.56 The
postoffice was entered through a second
story window. The report of tn
special agent of the Postoffice Depart
ment who investigated the case showed
that Mr.. Collins bad taken every pre-
caution to make the office secure, and
that he was entirely blameless. The
bill had previously passed the Senate,
and now only needs the signature OF
the President to become a law. The
opposition encountered by Mr.. Coving-
ton was not on account of the character
of the bill, but arose from the rivalry
of members in trying to get up bills in
which they were interested, and Sir.
Covington was complimented on his
success in carrying the House with him
AGAINST so many older members.

The startling rumor is ahoat that
Brigham Young is not dead but sleep,
eth, and that his galvanized body IS to
be produced at the proper time to
bring back the recalcitrant members OF
the flock and nerve the faithful. Such
trick is not impossible with the Nor
mons, and strange as it may seem, a
vast majority of them would unhesi-
tatingly accept such an imposition as
true. This may be used as an accessory
to the scheme inaugurated in the Nor
mon legislature last week to make a
Stale of Utah, but Gentiles are not so
easily fooled as the faithful.

THIS morning, about o o'clock, Gen
Humphrey Humphreys breathed his
last. Though his advancing years have
weighed heavily on him for many
months, the hand of death fell sooner
than was expected This aged and re,
spccted citizen, whose life has been
spent in active business in our midst.
and whose labors have been continual
y conuec.ed with tie growth and
prosperity Of the town, leaves a host
Of friends to mourn their loss. The
strong mind that built up the largest
business house in this section Of coun-
try, the character that was impregnable
in lis stern uprightness, had for a period
Of half : century exerted a great in1l
ence il this county. The Democratic
party has to dcplore the loss of one OF
lis most faithful and powerful supper
tcrs. His church, to whose interests
he was devoted, can never repair the
departure Of a helper SO strong and
generous in time ofneed. Gen Humph
reys was man to respect and admire
far his forcible character and inle>ibe
integrity. IL had many warm per
sonal friends, but beyond that, the
whole county and hundreds in other
counties knew him with the same re-
spect and admiration. Salisbury Bach

PASSING AWAY.
BY NJ.

Faces that had grown familiar.
Eyes that wore SOULFUL ray,
Voices that were pleasant music
10 our ears, have passed away. -
Hearts, their varied plans deyising-'
Hands engaged in work or play,
Feet that ran on mercy's errands.
Each and all have passed away.
Childhood with its merry laughter
Youth with spirits glad and gay,
Looking for blissful morrow,
In moment pass away.
Men, who in life's bright meridian,
Have been for years staff and stay,
Hear the summons-leave their toiling.
And, though needed, pass away,
Fathers, too, of blessed memory,
With their locks like snowy spray,
Who have labored long and nobly,
Much lamented pass away;
Gentle mothers. truthful, tender,
Prayerful, watching night and day,
These have borrowed "angel plumage,"
And have scared from earth away.
Fellow-pilgrims let's be watchful,
Trim our lamps while it is day;
For the night Of death is hast'ning,
Soon we. too, shall pass away;
Pass, to swell the great procession,
Far beyond hopes cheering ray;
Or. If wisdom be our portion,
To a realm of cloudless day. NIB

Everything at present points to
great victory for the Democracy in
November, and to the utter ami
hilation of Malone and Mahone-
ism with all the tyranny, corruption,
and rascality the name implies. This
will bring redemption toj the State
free us from the danger of Radical rule,
and put it out Of the power of the Bosses
to work much more ill. In every dis
trict in the State there is a great rising
up against Malone, the most trusted Of
his iieutenants are leaving him, as rats
leave sinking ship and before Mo-
vember comes there will only be left
those to whom he has given office, his
candidates and those promised fat places
In the future. The people see the Boss
as he is-his sOphistry has been exposed,
and in all the nakedness Of his rascality
he stands revealed. Let the good work
go on till Bossism will be remembered
