Tho Sntibnth lor the Laboring Classes. It may be thought that the "Sunday ques tion" should bo canvassed only In the pulpit. It Is, Indeed, a question for th pulpit, lor the Church Is concerned. Bat it is likewise a question for tho press, lor tho world is con cerned. In urging the claims of tho Sabbath, it should be remembered that there were, by God's direct appointment, three great para disaical institutions, and that tho Sabbath was ono of them. The first in ordo' is labor. The second is rest on the holy Sabbath. The third js matrimony. Tneso are the three essential conditions of human existence. If a min will not work, neither shall he eat. If a man tio not rest in the midst of his labors, he will soon rest a together from his labors; and if he neither marry nor are given in marriage, the race will be come extinct. No sano man will argue that all things wou'd go on prosperously if the wheels of human industry should stop; nor can we get many out of a mad-house who would defend tho abolition of marriage. IIow, then, is it, that so miay deny, it not in words, yet in practice, the obligations of that other in stitution of lleaven which lies between tho two, deknded, it would seeetn, by both, be cause more sacred than they ? How can men fall down and worship without any hypocrisy two of the divinities of Paradise, and refino even ordinary respect to the most God-lika ol the three ? Before man fell, and sin entered our fair earth; beforo tho brothers Cain and ahel quarrelled about religion, and a brother's Mood cried to heaven for vongeauco from between tho very horns of tho altar anterior to all this, in an atmosphere of perfect holi ness, while God was yet spending " tho cool of tho day" in Paradise, walking as friend wltb friond in company with its earthly lord before the serpent stung our mother was the fcabbath an institution of earth. And as it was before all religions which have so long blessed or cursed mankind, so shall it remain . after all religions but the ono that is true ehall have been swept away. Type of what is indestructible, whatsoever ebe of earth may be lost in ths lapse of agej,, tho Sabbath shall remain forever. The first idea of a Sabbath, is that of rest. Just as certa'.n as the huge wheels and mas sive bars of a machine will wear and tear each other into destruction, if not repaired byj the mechanic and lubricated by oil, will man, with all bis exquisite proportions, wear down to premature death, if not refreshed with sufficient and periodic rest. AboTe all men living the working man should be jealous of tho Sabbath. The rich may spend half the summer in travel, at tho springs, or by the sea-eido. But the laborer la ever at the wheel, and such is the scantiness of reward for his toil and the greediness of many masters who employ him, that if God did not legislate for him, and in spite of himself and bis task-mas-tors command him to rest ono day in seven, be would not live halt his days, but would die, at once 6lave, drudge, and suicldj. The Sabbath is the workingman's jubilee. It is his great day of equality. Six days men seek their level as before each other. On the Sab bath they are equal or unequal as before God I Yea, the veriest menial chained to the wheel, may, on that day, raise his head in the pride of an august ancestry and noble destiny, and tell his cruel captors, "I am nobler than you all. lie only is a freeman whom the truth makes free, and all besides are slaves." We have often been struck with the advan tages of the Sabbath to the working classes, not only physically, but morally and intellec tually. It is for the interest of the rich and the independent that those who do their work should be good citizens. They 'are the thews and smews of humanity. They have minds as well as hands. Divine Providence has often honored them as a class. Benjamin Fbank lin was a unit in their sum. And we generally find that when God has got some great work to accomplibh--whcn lie wants a man to arrest the lightuing flash, or to be an apostle ol the Cross, Tie chooses from among the con- it would seem, that genius is not the heritage grcgation of the poor to show to Ills creatures, of riches, or the birth-right of princes, but His own peculiar gift.' The Sabbath is the workingman's "learned leisure." It is his "grove" and his "porch." The Church is his great academy of sciences above all, of the science of eternal life. The pulpit is his stronghold and defense, and when we consider that in this land there are ten thousand preachers of every grade, and color, and name, plying their strength, and bringing forth the results of the reading and study of the week nay, of their whole lives every Sabbath day when we consider this, we are overwhelmed with a scuso of the condition to which our country would be degraded with out such appliances, and rejoice and give thanks that one day in seven the doors of the templeof Mammon are shut and the gates of the housesof God are open. Looked at In its bearings on the national life, our Sabbath most be more than mere ces sation from ordinary occupation. There must be contemplation as well as rost We cannot, we should not permit our Christian Sabbath to be superseded by the saturnalia of TUB DAILY KVENiNG TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, the Continental Sunday. The idea that leisure can have any other purpose than amusement and dissipation that man can exhibit any tokens ol reverence for a Being higher than himself must not be let die out of the public mind. Philadelphia must not bf come, like Taris, the capital ol suicide. We must learn to rest ourselves. We must clothe us with the stability and power ofreposs, and then Impart a certain concentration, coolness and compactness to our Intellectual and prac tical energy, and preserve to us such a health ful, natural tone of feeling, that simple plea sures shall retain their power to trratlfy tho heart and fill up the mcasuro of our desire. If our pen were as the flaming sword which turned every way to guard the Tree of Life, we would make It flash the brightest and cut the'deepest In tho defense of our holy Sabbath. 1 he Freuch Atheists presumed to alter the laws cf heaven, and decreed that France should have a Sabbath onco in ten days. As well might they have commanded the sum mer to smile upon the earth once in ten thou sand years as easily could Canute make the tUe fto back as could any man or monarch alter with impunity the regulations of tho Almighty. France tried two experiments as vniquo as awful. She tried to do without a God, and to do wichout IIis Sabbath. She coul J do neither. Franco must have a God, though she does not worship nim, and she must have a Sabbath, though she degrade bersel'' In desecrating it t-ball we have a day of test? Man and worn n tho very beasts of the Held tho very earth itself tho Church, tho nation ail vo' ces melt In1 o tho all-mighty yea! We f'aall have a Sabbath. It is like some lovely, but lonely island, cut off from tho great conti nent of Time, around which swells and roars the ever restless "sea of troubles," and from which man may behold the "better land," "where there is no sea," and where "there &hall be no night," and whore "the weary are at rest." G'oinplantcr and our state Legislature. It would seem that our worthy representa tives at IlairiHCurg are i'uOV'ring from a mild attack of CoBXPLANriii; upon the brain. Last week the descendant of "the big Indian" at one fell swoop demanded the whole of Oil City and its vicinity, upon the ground that the Legislature had given it to him in token o their appreciation of his service rendered at some previous period, the particulars of which are not minutely described. Bat ono fact is evident; the heirs of Cotinpi.antkb are anxious to "strike ile," and they consider Oil City a good opening. We aro not prepared to say what are the merits of the scheme, but we imagine that there Is "a cnake" of most mag nificent proportions concealed m it some where. We suspect that some white men are engaged in the project, and that "the red man" Is simply the catspaw intended to draw the chesnuts out of the fire for the benefit of others. The resolution introduced into the Senate to appropriate five hundred dollars to erect a monument over the old chiefs grave, Bounds very much like a grim joke. The aborigines ask for bread, and the Legislature proffer them a stone ; they demand oil for their lamps, and receive an ornamented grave. It is very likely that Cornplanteb's services deserve some requital, but we cannot con ceive now a sculptured tomostone will ex actly Indicate our appreciation of his deeds, If It can be thown that he did us a great benefit, and never received a proper remune ration, let bim be paid for the benefit of his heirs, but let the discussion of the matter close, and things of weighter importance oc cupy tho time and attention ol the body. If any just claim exists, such as is spoken of in the resolution, it is to our shame that it has remained unpaid for over half a century ; but if it is a peculation in prospect, the best mode of oisposing of it is to kill it quick, an J go to work at the business which citizens elected and sent our representatives to Ilarrisburg to transact. . A New Census. A resolution Introduced Into Congress yesterday contemplates the taking of a census during the present year. It is a matter of deep interest to many to know bow our population stands as compaied with what it was in 1800, before we were visited by tho curse of war. The taking of the census at the present time would no doubt assist the various departments in making up iheir estimates, and might, in certain contin gencies, be found to be a measure of economy. The new attempt at reconstruction Is a deli cate one, and all concerned in it should move with caution, and be in possession of all the light and knowledge that can possibly be obtained. A new census would be of vast Information in many cases where doubt and uncertainty prevail. OFFICE OF THE UOAL 1SXCIIANGE OF Peiladeli-bia. ho. 20.r)i Walnut, stre -t.
