THE SABBATH QUESTION.
The Sabbath a Moral Law.
To the Sdiior of the Evening Telegraph:
The next historical notice of the lav la In Exodui,
xrl, li "Tne children of Israel came onto the wll
dernost of "in, which ii between felim and Slnal."
Thl wm before the Riving, of the law at Sinai; lor
we learn In Number xixill, that there were lour
removals ot the camp, tIi., Dophkah, Alnsh, Be
pbldlm, and Binal, before they came to the Mount
It wm here in the wlldornesa of Sin, they murmured
for broad and the manna waa Riven. Just one
mon'h panned from tlilr departure from Ramesos
see Kntnbor xxxlii, 8), on the 15th dar of the first
month, and on the 15th day of the second month
they came into the wilderness of sin (Exodui xvl, IV
And, "In the third month, when the cbllaren of
Isrse! bad rone forth out of the land of Egypt, the
aame day they came auto the wilderness of Sinai."
Exodus xx, 1. The same day, that is, the fifteenth
day. At the very least, therefore, the ram of manna
took place a month before the thunders of Sinai
were beard. Ot this bread trom heaven the people
gathered an homer lor each perse n each day, except
on the sixth day they rath red two homers for each
person. The rulers reported this matter to Moses,
"And be said unto them, this Is that which the Lord
bath said, to-morrow Is the rest of tho Holy Sabbath
unto the Lord ; bake that which ye will bake to-day.
and seethe that ye will seethe." Exodus xvl, 23, 23.
"A nd Hoses said, Eat that to-day, for to-day Is a Sab
bath onto the Lord; to-day ye snail not find it in tho
field. Six days ye shall gathor it; but on tho seventh
day, which Is the Sabbath, In it there shall be none."
On this remark
1, In tholr bondage condition for two hundred and
ten years, It Is notconee.'vablo that the people could
enjoy tho.r Sabbath rest and keep up tne regular
system of worship and instruction which belong
properly to "the Sabbath which was made tor man ;"
those sweet rests and Joyous songs of praise, and
heavenly instrnotion br tholr Elders dor t hoy had
Elr.ers even in Egypt. Exodus ill, 10. "Go and
gather tho Elders of Israel torothcr;" and xll, 21;
and xvil, 6, etc), Tbe oppression which doomod a 1
their male children te death, likewise tho oppression
which dooms man to work in a printing offloe or
on a railroad car seventeen hours per day for seven
days in the week, mutt have well nigh crushed out
all knowledge of the holy day, as it cut off the poor
people from all opportunity to worship their God
and to receive instruction from their Eidors.
2. This miracle of the manna is manifestly do
signed, as it is admirably adapted, to teach the peo
ple the blosscdness ox tbe Sabbath day. It teaches
(1), That they have a right, a franchise trom the
(iod of heaven, to cease from labor one day In seven.
Mo Egyptian taskmaster (no printer or railroad
company) may stand over thorn to enforoe labor on
the Sabbath. No dire necessity any longer to toil
all day at the brick-kiln, the prlntiug-oilloe, or the
can. Total abstinence from toll is required. "Bake
that which ye will bake to-day." Evidently the
Hebrew in the wilderness was a fro'jr man than tbe
bakers are to-day in Philadelphia. Freedom trom
labor, and liberty to worship God unmolested, have
made so little progress in 8757 years! Such is tho
despotism of Mammon 1 (2) That the people are
not to sit in idleness, or run wild in excess of plays
nd sports, "see, lor that the Lord hath given yon
tbe Sabbath." "Abide ye every man in his place;
lot do man go out of his placo on the seventh day.
So the people rested on the seventh day." They
kept the day ''holy unto the Lord." The only sonse,
as we have seen, in which time can be kept holy, is
the performance of holy exorcises of God's worship.
"It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day."
8. This transaction, a a whole, is not the enact
ment of a new statute, but the resuscitation of an old
one. Our statute book exhibits an analogous case.
The act of 1705 was cal ed up and re-enacted in 1794,
and again in 1846. If we had only the l x nun scrijpta,
tbe cases would have been more alike. Tbey are,
however, alike in anotaor respect, vis , some ap
pendages are added, as we shall boo in anotber place.
' Now, we insist that this has not the torm and
appearance of a new law. "This is that which the
Lobd bath i aid, To morrow is the rest of the holy
Sabbath unto tbe Lord." If a colporteur take, his
station near some dopot, where the crowd Is hurry
ing off to worship God in the country, and should
raise bis voioe and say, This is the Sabbath to be
kept boly nnto the Lord, and bore are little books
suitable for the Lord's day," would ho be considered
in tbe light ot a legislator enacting a new statute?
Thus our Lord himself speaks: "A new command
ment give I nnto you, That ye love one another :"
but John I, Epis. Ii. 7, speaking ot the very same law
of love, says; "I write no new commandment unto
yon, but an o'd commandment, which ye had trom
the beginning." Bore is no inconsistency : "lie
that loveth not bis brother, abidoth in death."
4. We must remember this transaction ooourred a
whole month before this same Sabbatio law, but
with more detail, was enacted again at Sinai. So our
Legislature act continually. A large amount of
their acts contain, and are an enactment of some
principle or the Decalogue. They can decree no
penal enaotment but they borrow tholr principle
trom some one or more of the Ten Commandments
Ihkophilbs.

A few weeks ago a Mr. Leonard Dufour,
residing in London, gave a party on tbe occasion

hysterical manner and make tor an ante-room

she fell lifeless into the arms ot her daughter.
Her death is attributed to disease of the heart.
Marcello (Duchess of Colonnal has lately
executed a bust ot tbe Einprens Eugenie, oi derail

ia reported, "even exceeds in purity of outline

MATTERS OVEE THE RIVER,
TnK Watkr Wouks Qukbtioht. Tho
purchase of the Water Works by the city la tbe
all-Bbftorblng; topic, and public sentiment is
being extensively canvassed. Next Thursday
evening the Ci'V Councils will meet to receive
the report oi Mr. Berkenblne. who has been em-
I plovt d to ascertain the value of the machinery.
ana to give snr.n cauer intormanon as may mail
to a jtift valuation of tbe property. The Original
cost of the machinery, iron pipe, and all other
articles necessary to a gopply of water can
scarcely be a correct basis upon which to decide
its present valuation. Hinco the work have
been in operation, real estate, machinery, iron
pipe, and all other implements have 'nearly
doubled in value, especially iron pipe, which is
perhaps three times more costly. Bo that' as it
may, there seems to be a general desire to place
tbe works in the ownertfliip of tbe city tor
various reasons.
Tbe growth of the city demands a larger sup
fily of water than heretofore lurni?hed lor pub
ic and private use. While (bo domestic wants
arc but poorly supplied, the fire Department li
rendered danprorouHlv inefficient. Our costly
steam entrlnes are really no additional safeguards
apuinst the destruction of property without a bet
ter supplv ot water; and the annual appropria
tions made to tbe different companies must, in a
measure, be thrown away, unless the city furnish
all the necessary facilities to enable the depart
ment to meet puDitc expectation, wo nave an
active ana energetic Dreuien i organization,
second to none, and none are more chagrined
than they wben their best efforts are rendered
futile at a tire. Nor Is it likely, should the
Water Works be retained by its present owners,
that they will make tho necessary outlay to im
prove and enlarge tne works to the extent de
manded by our rapidly increasing Donulatlon.
If vested in the city, every voter would have a
voice to enforce such imorovempnts as would
satisfy the needs of the city; anl tho taxpayers
could thus exact supplies, and make their pub
lic servants adopt such measures for purification
as wouia meet ineir epprooatton.
A Pleasing Change. Travellers oa the
West Jersey railroads cannot but notice the
pleasing change effected by the tine improve
ments projrressina: throughout that whole sec

w lib many, who are clearing dubu land, and fell

were suncred to rcacn an enormous growth, tor

to market, W bile making a recent trip to Salem.
we noticed many "boys in blue" wielding the
axe and gruDoing-noe, clearing ana preparing
acres lor spring cultivation, while carpenters
were framing houses, and farmers were ditching
and tiling tne low lands, immense piles ot
