The Jews were required not only
to abstain from labor on the Sabbath
day. Not only were they to observe
it as day of rest, but it was to be "a
holy convocation." "And the Lord
spake unto Moses saying, speak unto
the children of Israel and say unto
them concerning the feasts of the
Lord which ye shall proclaim to be
holy convocatiOns, even these are my
feasts." Six days shall work be done !;
but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of rest-a holy convocation: We shall
do no work therein. The plain teach
ing of this scripture is, we take it, to
the effect that the Sabbath, as ordain.
ed by God, was not only a day OF rest,
but day of holy rest. AS we read
the numerous promises of blessing to
those who should observe the Sab
bath day, our convocation that the
day was designed as a day of holy
rest is strengthened. If thou turn
away thy foot from the Sabbath (says
the great prophet, Isaiah.) from do
ing thy pleasure on my holy day and
call the Sabbath delight, the holy of
the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor
him not, doing thine own ways nor
finding thine own pleasure, nor speak
ing thine own words then shalt thou
delight thyself in the Lord and /
will cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth and feed thee with
the heritage of Jacob. thy father for
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Could language be palmer Could
prophecy have indicated the divine
will more forcibly? The people we're
not to do their own pleasure, they
were not to follow their own ways,
nor were even to speak their own
words in this holy day, but they were
to delight themselves in the Lord.
And then notice the grand and glori-
Gus promises of reward. which were
to be bestowed upon the Obedient OBJ
servers of the Sabbath day. God not
only bestows untold blessings upon
those who observe his day according
to his divine command. but he
hreathes the most dreadful threats
upon those who violate it. But If We
will not hearken unto me (says the
prophet, Jeremiah,) to hallow the
Sabbath day, and not to bear a bur-
den, even entering in at the gates of
Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then
will l kindle FIRE in the gates thereof
and it shall deYour the palaces of
Jerusalem, and it shall not be quench.
ed. Not only were there promises of
rewards for obedience and threaten
ings for disobedience, but the actual
penalty imposed for disObedience was
no less than death. Ye shall keep
the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy
unto you. Everyone that defileth it
shall surely be put to death. In the
fifteenth chapter of the book of num-
hers We have an instance recorded by
thesacred writer wherethe death PEN
atty was inflicted upon an unfortu-
nate man for violating the Sabbath.
"And while the children of Israel
were in the wilderness they found a
man that gathered sticks upon the
Sabbath day, and the Lord said unto
Moses, the man shall be surely put
to death, and all the congregation
brought him without the camp, and
stoned him with stones and he died
as the Lord commanded Moses"
All this, says one, happened under

SNAKES IN TROUBLE.
How an Old Farmer Cleaned Out an army

Mr.. Wills. Weller, residing about two
miles south of Middleburgh, at the foot Oh
Shade Mountain, while engaged in cieai
ing piece of new ground on his farm on
Thursday Of last week, was terribly an
noyed by the number OF black.snakes on
the patch. Some he killed, but q grea'
many escaped his "brush fork" and near

by thick growth of underbrush. no
concluded to investigate matters a ittie'
and it did not take him long to satisfy
himself that he had struck a colony OF the
reptiles which had taken harbor under tno
pile of dry brush.
He noticed a particularly large one
basking in the sun few yards from 'h'

the fence with which to despatch 1t, putin
doing so he broke one of the stakes on ene

of the stake evidently aroused the sleep.

volley of snakes starting from under INC
thick underbrush into the brush pile. ms
stood rivited to the spot with astonlsn'
ment, and looking up saw no less IMAM
twenty snakes of all sizes sticking their
heads out of the brush pile. Rememoer-
ing that he had used a bundle OF long
straw for seat on his "stone boat" ne
hastened In oat H. and setting 1t on fires
cast 1t over the brush.
In an instant the whole pile was one
blaze, and he then witnessed scene
which he says no one would ever care 10
behold again. The heat was so intense
that none of the reptiles could possibly
escape, and they rolled out of 1t black,
blinded and scorched, biting at every
thing they touched, and in most Instances
died with their fangs fastened In their
own charred bodies-evidently preferring
suicide to death in the flames. some
darted from the outside into the fre,
madly striking at the flames, until their
bright black coats had been turned into
an ashen gray by the heat. In fifteen
minutes smouldering stump was all that
was left of the brush pile. He was about
to leave the spot, when he ventured 70
look into the stump, which was hollow,
! where, covered by thin layer OF ashes,
lay no less than bucketful of snakes, re-
sembling huge sausages in a large crock,
roasted just hard enough to cause the
flesh to drop of. rs
