What are you going to do with

Winter is upon us with all its fierce

that there are number of destitute
families in our town, several OF

fortunate, we ask you to take this
matter in hand, make tour of the
city and find out those most IN need
and administer to their wants. The

Inc Howard County Court House Goes
Up in Flames.

Fayette, Mo-, Dec. ,.-The court
house building at this place was dis
covered to be on fire at : O'Clock
last night and in thirty minutes it was
completely gutted. The fire caught
under the roof at the north end of
the building, supposedly from flue
which had become detective and had
been smoulderlng there tor several
hours. AS sood as 1t reached the
belfrey at the south end, the fire
escaped from its pent-up quarters
and made rapid headway. Fortu-
nately all the county officers were
IN the building or among the first to
arrive and each directed the work of
his office, and in twenty minutes
every record and all valuable papers
were removed beyond the reach of
the fire. The burned building was
erected in 1858 at cost OF $sI.5oo.
1t was insured for $4,000.
The building showed the ravases
of time and the citizens of Howard
county long looked forward to the
time when 1t should be replaced with
| handsome and more substantial
structure. The present loss, how
ever, comes at very unfortunate
time and will probably result in the
building of a $4,000 court house
instead of the fine one contemplated
were the county out of debt.

The damage to the company will
amount to several thousand dollars.

ing from the former-the civi1-ho
urges the observance of the Sabbath
because the command for that Observ.
ance proceeds from = mind far above
that of the people and more compre-
hensive of their real wants: that such
observance implies an instruction in
religion, in healthy politics. and in
moral laws-an instruction which
tends to elicit and cement the afiec-
tons of the people and to foster and
educe spirit conservative of law and
positively necessary to the stability and
prosperity of a nation. Arguing. sec
0ndly, from the domestic standpoint,
NJ. Proudhon declares the institution
of the Sabbath is necessary to the pres
ervation of the family with all its
servants. domestics, guests or depend
ents of other kinds. He argues that
the public day of weekly rest, properly
observed. will do more to pre-
vent, than all things possible can
do to cure, those prejudices and
ill-feelings which are so often
found in our modern society. OF
course this argument for the preserva-
ton of the family by the proper OBJ
servance of the Sabbath is nothing
new, but it could be drawn, and has
been drawn. with great force by one
who, living in France forty years ago.
could easily learn what we at home
have also learned SO recently---that the
disregard of the Sabbath and the
loosening Of family ties. always go
hand in hand. Coming to the consid-
Grafton of the question of Sabbath OBJ
servance from moral viewpoint. NJ.
PrOudhon seems to draw distinction
between religion and morals. and to
urge the observance of the Sabbath as
question of morals. The rest of col
lectedness and self-possession, and not
of laziness and frivolity, is, he urges,
favorable to morals and makes the
day one of tender memories, earnest
dedication and lofty aspirations which
may lead to an earnest and
pure religious sentiment, and
which certainly are not ac-
qnired in noisy assemblies or in idle
lettering. The arguments from the
hygienic standpoint are forcible. In
the hands of competent man they
could not well be otherwise. Rest is
necessary, but it is comparatively, if
not entirely. useless without periodici-
ty, unvarying and regular-six days
for work and one for rest, that and
neither five nor seven, nor ten to one
of rest because, under the great
doctrine of crises, it IS incOntestably
shown that. by any deviation from
this arrangement, the man is killed by
inertia or fatigue. So strong are the
convictions of this French deist and
Socialist upon this point that, rather
than believe that Moses made the
scriptural apportionment by chance,
he would believe in a special revela-
ton. We repeat the hope with which
We began-that it may be found prac-
ticable to circulate this work of NJ
Proudhon's, both in French and in En-
glIsh. among our American wage
earnerS-InteriOr.
