"Martha's" already weary with much

Martna's" already weary with much
serving, is not conducive to keeping
the day holy, give the fire. m to
uplift the thoughts in communion
with the Maker.
Attendance in the sanctuary and
the Sunday school are privileges
which should be enjoyed by every
one, and are helps and incentives
toward keeping holy the day, privi-
leges il made use Of, that will go far
in training the young and moulding
their minds for due regard for the
sacredness of the Sabbath. 1t is
every parents duty to see that their
children attend Sunday school and
attend it with them. But this is not
all by any means. How are the re-
naming hours of the day spent?
Children are quick observers, and
will soon discover the inconsistencie
of precept and practice in the con-
duct of the parents.
If our motive Is pure our example
will bear fruit after its kind-if it be
not, the results will be equally mani
fest.
"Six days shalt thou labor and do
all thy work" The shop is closed,
the plow rests idle in the field, nor
do we tackle the weeks wash, but
you and know of people who habi-
tually leave little jobs to be attended
to on Sunday. And the day is spent
in 'tinkering," as they call it, not
work, but just odd jobs that had bet
ter been done before-while the chill
dren run wild-and this in homes, too,
where they have every facility of at
tending church and Sunday school.
These are ''stay at homes" who, by
word or demeancr, hint at no semb-
lance of keeping the Sabbath day
holy. They could, but they don't
want to, and the children grow up
under this Indifferent rule, and of
course they won't want to do any
thing different the fruit of the ex-
ample.) But, on the other hand, can
a confirmed "stay at home" one
who by reason of Affections or the
stress of adverse circumstances, is
hindered the privileges of church
and Sabbath school, keep the Sab
bath day holy? Yes, if we are right
ly attuned in spirit, think we can.
With cleanliness of person and clean
surroundings, with reading suitable
for the Lords day, and a genuine
wish to make the day holy unto our
selves, it can be done even in the
wilderness.
"The heavens declare the glory of
God, and the armament showeth His
handiworks."
And how blessed 1t is to have one
day in seven to spend in admiration
and contemplation of the creations
of his hand and to have communion
of spirit with God the Father, as the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
If we are prepared with this feeling
we can make the Sabbath "holy
day." but II we are not, it will be
nothing more than mere holiday,
which to many it more often is.
And repeat it, how few among US
are wholly guiltless of desecration of
the Sabbath day.

of the important litigation in the
Columbia County Courts and ha:
during the past three years hele
the responsible position as County

the corporations and the wealthy
moneyed men who constitute only a
small portion of the citizens and not
heed the wishes Of all other classes?
1t is Our duty to pass laws not for
one particular class of men, but in
the interests of the whole people.
Unequal taxation and other dis
ordinations have greatly depre-
ciated the value of the farm land
and real estate in general in this
Commonwealth. There is a class
of tax payers that these burdens fall
heavily upon-more heavily than
any other in the State, l mean the
farmers and real estate owners. Ac-
cording to the Constitution of the
State, All taxes shall be uniform
on the same class of subjects. The
burdens of taxation should be equal
lied on all classes of persons and all
classes of property. The rich and
the poor should be taxed according
to the valuation of their property.
The capital of the farmer and the
real estate owner is taxed four or
five times as much as the capital OF
corporations. This is certainly an
unwarrantable and unjust discrim-
ination oppressive to real estate,
and contrary to the spirit Of the
Constitution and natural equity. 1t
should seem if any distinction were
made it would be in favor of that
form Of capital that is most FRO
ductive in favor Of the hard work
ing laboring classes of this Common
wealth. The farm lands and real
estate i'll general are suffering to-
day from the onerous burdens OF
taxation, and the cry for its reliet
comes TO us from a class in the COM
munity whose appeals should be
carefully considered-the owners o.
houes and the tillers of the soil
The irregularity is too great agains
the majority of the taxpayers in this
Commonwealth - the farmers ant
laborers-and change must come
sooner or later"
Mr.. Fritz offered the first amend
nent ever made in the House o
Representatives to increase the ap
preparation to the public schools
from the least sum fixed by th'
Constitution, so that the corpora
tions should pay a portion of th
public school expenses. In speecl
at that time he said among othe
things, 81 think the State fund will
admit of this change, if not W.
should cut down the expenses some
where else and not forget the on
million children of this state.
Mr.. Fritz also made large mum
ber of speeches in the House agains

increase of salaries.
