OF Sabbaths' began last evening, the 1Sti.
inst, at sunset and closes at the same hour
t!-is evening. Since time i1nmen,oria' Jews
have devoted this day 10 meditation, contom-
plation and repentance, contiding IN the
bound!ess grace of the heavenly father, that

| Tie idea represented by the Day of Atone
| 1,eEt is one so generally Humanitarian, es
! to oyers;ladow any similar institution ever
established. 1t is the proclamation Of God
as the fountain of love and mercy, between
whom and man stands TO mediator, but to
whom every mortal may rise from the
depth OF earthly passions, and become re-
generated and purified, if he SO wills it. No
sacrifice is demanded, save that Of mans
passions, low desires anu degrading iniqu-
ties. s. Tho .leace of the repentant sinner il

transgressions that effect man solely in re
l;stion to his Creator, while 'sSins between
| man and his brother man the Yomizippur
does not atone, before the wrong has been
repaired"
| Man may arise from his fallen state; no
''original sin = remains attached to him; he
is called upon to cleanse himself by contri-
ton. None so low that Ire need give up
| hope; no heart so dark that it cannot be
| frightened; despair yanishes before this
refulgent promise, and new life is the re-
ward of him who goes into Judgment with
himself and adjusts the account Of life.
There is nothing supernatural, mysterious
OR mystical about this doctrine: it simply
| asserts the necessity for man to regulate
his conduct, to cast reflective glances upon
his life, and the judgment that is rendered
within his own conscience is the judgment
of God. If the voice within tells man that
he is sincerely resolved to will the good, to
do the right and follow justice, energy and
determination enter his breast and forgive
ness is secured. In his own breast he car
res heaven and hell, and the DEGREES that
are recorded On the indclible pages tha.

before us. The older it grows the
better it gets to be. In speaking of
hard times and economy the editors
come right to the point. The sub
ject of evolution occupies considera-
BILE space and is well written. The
usual local, English, American and
Colonial Church news is given. A
correspondent makes many sugges-
tons with regard to the curtailing of
the somewhat lengthy services. AS
the new year is just commencing it
would be good time to carry any
suggestions into effect. The educa-

lected in this number, but the
editors promise to deal fully with

The exhibition of the Harden
hand grenade on Saturday evening
was decidedly the most satisfactory
that has yet taken place. A large
frame had been erected at the juno
ton of Union and Hotel Streets,
which was filled up with kindling
wood dried in an oven. After it
was fired, it was allowed to burn
until the blaze went up some thirty
feet in the air. Mr.. Myers then
with three grenadcs advanced and
put this large fire out just as easy
as a person could put out candle
with an extinguisher. We under
stand that Mr.. Myers is not able to
fill all orders, SO great has been the
demand.

A special from Fort Plain, New
York, of Nov. 25th, says:-Kate
Smulsey, who has now tasted 25s
days, is not materially changed in
the last few weeks. She is but
slightly weaker, the irresistible shak-
ing of her body and arms still con-
tinuing. The appearance of the
flesh is not such as would be expected
of one who has endured such pro-
tracted fast, but is rather bloated
and abnormal in semblance. She
receives the best of care from her
mother, who is continually by her
side. There is no question in this
community as to the veracity Of the
Smulsey family, which is highly
respected. They were very reluc-
tant in allowing the case to reach
public notice and extremely diffident
on being approached with inquiries
concerning the girls condition. Miss
Smulsey is 20 years old.
