The Siege of SaragOssa.

every convent, every house, holds
out like a citadel, and every one has to
be besieged by itself. The whole is dis
puted foot by foot, from the cellar to the
loft, and it is not until everyone is kill
ed with bayonet thrusts or thrown out
of the window, that we call ourselves
masters of a house. As soon as we have
conquered one there come upon us
from the next house, through holes
made for the purpose, grenades, shells,
and a rain OF musketry. 1t is necessary
to raise barricades and cover ourselves
very speedily till measures are taken for
attacking this fresh fort, and that can
only be done by piercing the walls, for
traversing the streets is impossible; the
whole army would perish in them in q
couple of hours. 1t wa not enough to
make war in the houses, it is carried on
beneath the earth. An art no doubt in

A large quantity of powder is laid
there, fired at a given signal, and the

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at
home when the head of the household
farmer or mechanic, merchant or
lawyer, capitalist or operative-enjoys
a weekly rest among those for whom
six DAYS of labor have been spent.
Whether the Sabbath institution was or
was not created by the Fourth Com
mandment seems to be in these words:
''Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
nor thy m~an-servant, o thy maid
servant" a glimpse of the restful en-
joyment which the Day of Rest, in the
primitive conception Of it, would bring
to the families that keep 1.-THE Day Of
Rest being rest, not revelry or dissipa-
ton, and being, therefore, a day Of
home enjoyment, with its opportunity
for sober thoughts and conference. A
Sabbath-keeping people will.become q
thoughtful people, and such thought
fulness is manliness. All men, and es-
pecially the busy millions in an ad-
vanced civilization like our own, need
for the minds sake, not less than for
the sake of wearicd nerves and muscles,
the seventh daily intermission of their
ordinary work. A true Sabbath is
something far moro restful than a day
OF noisy jollity. In its calm air the
mind rests by thought, not thoughtless-
ness; by quiet musing, by conscious or
unconscious re%trospection; perhaps by
consideration of what might have been,
perhaps by thinking what may yet be,
perhaps by aspiration and resolve
toward something in the future that
shall be better than what has been
in the past. The home in which Sum
day is a Day of Rest and home enjoy
ment is hallowed by the Sabbath which
it hallows. In the Sabbath-keepingg vii
lage life is less frivolous and at the
same time industry is more productive.
