SUNDAY N HERE.

Without designing to enter into u
homiiy, the DEsEREr NEWS makes
mention, and with unfcigned gratlh'
cation, that we are at tho end OF an.
other week. One more Sabbath will
hive come and gone before this paper
makes another visit to It's readers. And
u few suggestions M TO how the day
should be received aud observed-as To
what words, thoughts and actisns
should prevail and what be eschewod
cannot DO amiss, especially In view
OF the frame OF mind which many OF
our people permit themselves TO be-
come possessed OF during tho ak days
devoted to business pursuits.
Sunday is not only n period OF rest, but
ntime for reflection, for devoutness, for
thanks and praise. The FIRST rays OF
the god Of day that burst through the
shadows OF tho. east and overspread
the sleeping earth with their mellow
tinge, should DO with us n symbol Of
that charity which covereth all things
and should reach unto all mankind,
and which while perhaps forgotten or
not thought Of during the hurry and
hustle and Observation-Disclosures OF the
week, should at least find recognition
and practice during the time set apart
for repose. Can our thoughts,
upon arising In the morning, be more
profltably turued than TO the record
which the past six days have male Tor
us aud attached indolibly to our mortal
career? Can we do better than single
out the words and actions regarding
neighbors, frleuds or II may he enc.
mics, ia which unc)nsciously or
designodly we have done them aud
ourselves wrong, nnh then consider
how we may hes, undo such wrong and
place ourselves properly before our
common parenl9 IL II too much 10
cay that u happy Sunday should begin
Ia this way? 1t Is advising
nothing that IL not good fol
you aud for yours, and IN
the quietude Of the early morn Of
the day Of reposo, unassailei with tn,
words Of thcughtless or the wiles o.
designing men, whoever does what II
herein suggested and thon proceeds
maniully to carry 1, out, win find tina
he win add Joy to his soul, and promote

GIVE US A CHANGE.


N the NEWS were oin politics" we
could have any amount OF fun with
those Of our Contemporaries who are
tearing their hair over this, that and
the other newspaper article or adver'
tl.emont, pamphlet, speech, conversa-
tion or "inGuence," put firth or
invoked by the different political
PARTIES in this part Of the world to
secure votes on the Sth Of next MONTH
with some Of our own correspondents,
too, - those who express their
wonder that we "don't say
something" 4 about the respective
pamphlets, speeches, etc. above
referred to-we could have entered
into n merry argument almost every
day during the month past. For, toa
person not entirely given over to
partisanship, It IL as plain as daylight
that the whole question Of criticism or
appreciation depends solely upon the
point Of view; and though one calls
certain methods OF an opponent unfair,
Legitimate and even contemplate,
similar methods employed by himself
or his friends are deemed by him
perfectly honest, judicious and regular
This could be pointed out 80 easily
from the abundance Of evidence al
hand that, rs stated above, 1t could be
made an amusing-nay, even an ex'
hilarating occupation.
But the NEWS, as 1t has repeatedly
declased, ia not In politics, save Ms a
neutral, independent Journal that VIII
not shut lts eyes to wrongdoins In any
party, nor depart from straight
course TO promote tina advancement OF
the principles or the candidates OF
either. Hence II denies itself the
pleasure which contemporaries and cor
respondents 10 frequently offer II, iesi
10 some sensitive observer 1t might
seem to lean little TO one side or
the other. with this much OF ex-
PLANTATION may we not now venture
to tako step further?
II 10, we should be- tempted to say
that some OF the proceedings, as well
az some OF the comments, that have
been conspicuous during this cam
paign are such as cannot be defended
by either party or be approved by
honorable men anywhere. Neither
side can claim monopoly Of decency,
and, we regret to say, every extrava.
gance OF statement or injustice Of In
depreciation on the part Of ono side
has been met by similar weapons
coupled with even greater recklessncss,
on the part Of the other. Party feeling
has been permitted 10 run alto
gother too high; and the Flip
pant and disrespeotful use OF honoreC
names, by organs and orators on boil
sides OF the controversy, has been sucl
as TO give pain TO the calmer and bette
balanced class OF the community. W.
believe the resort TO such tactics haI
weakened the cause OF those who EN-
ployed them. No one who exercise
thought and reason has been inhaled b,
them, and no one should be. A wei
come change, during the remaining
ten days Of the campaign, would DO
recurrence to the dignined, gentle
manly, argumentstive discussion o
the issues for which the various candi
dates stand.
