How calm, how peaceful, bow serene
The opening day—blest Sabbath morn !
Kind Heaven is smiling o'er the scene
As sweetly as when Christ was born.
The same bright sun is in the sky
That shone o'er ancient Bethlehem's

The same kind Father rules on high,
And sheds his loving smiles again.
Man's work is clone, we're free from care ;
This is the morn by Heaven blest;
Let grateful hearts ascend in prayer
Upon this holy day of rest.
The birds have joined their matin song,
The trees on high their anthems raise,
The rocks and hills the strains prolong—
All Nature hymns her grateful praise.
" The Sabbath day "—emllem divine
Of that sweet rest in yonder sky,
Where ransomed spirits sing and shine,
And with the glittering angels vie.
Rest, free from all earth's sighs and tears ;
Rest, in that spirit-world above;
Rest, through the flight of endless years;
Rest, in a Heavenly Father's love.

A LABORER IN LUCK.
AN EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY
A number of sears ago, it will be re
membered, Boston, New York, Philadel
phia and Baltimore were successively,
visited by a band of English burglars
and rubbers, who secured their plunder
in every instance without being detect
ed. heavy losses were experienced by
the jewelry establishments of Boston and
New York, and a number of silk houses
suffered to a considerable extent in Phila
delphia, but the robbers were never de•
tested and no possible clue could be had
of their whereabouts, or of the manner
of their disposal of the stolen property.
In the year 1556, these house-breakers
and robbers were detected in the robbery
of the Fells Point Savings Bank of this
city, in the following manner: Shortly
after two o'clock, a. in., while the night
watch was making his round, he discov
ered a dim light through one of the
windows of the Savings Bank. and de
termined to find the cause—he having
never before observed a light in the
back office of the Bank. Making his
way cautiously to the back of the build
ing he clambered to the.bars of the win
dow, and on endeavoring to look in
found that a black clod had• -been•-•eare
fully tacked across the glass in order to
obstruct the light, and destroy, at least,
that chance of detection of the robbery
going on within. Cautiously leaving the
window, the officer retraced his steps
and secured assistance, surrounded the
building and arrested the burglars, who
by this time had blown open the vaults,
and collected the funds of the Institution
preparatory to a departure. They were
three Englishmen—the minor portion
of a band of " cracksmen," who came to
America in 1849, to "seek a fortune."
They were taken to the Station House
and locked ap. The next day they were
sent to the jail to answer the charge
before the criminal court.
On summing up the cash of the de
posits in the vaults of the Bank, it was
ascertained that one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars was missing ; and the
supposition was that the amount had
been carried off by accomplices, before
the arrest of the burglars. The three
men arrested were confined in the city
jail, but for some reason unknown to
the public, were never brought to trial;
and though repeated inquiries have been
made respecting their whereabouts, no
one has been able to give a correct an
swer of what became of them. This is
certain—that they never were heard of
by the public after they entered the
jail. The missing funds of the Bank
never "turned up"—and there the mat
ter has rested ever since. The Bank
has continued to prosper, and to day
ranks as the " Third .Yational Bank uj
Baltimore."
In the year 1865, the City Councils of
this city passed an ordinance for the
widening of Holliday street, from Fay
ette to Second ; and as soon as the neces
sary provisions for the work was accom
plished, it was carried into effect; the
old houses having been removed at an
expense of no trifling value to / . /e and
money. In the Fall of 1866 - , the old
German Reformed Church, known by
all Baltimoreans as Ileiner's Church,
was razeed to the around. There could
not be found a citizen, (save those- who
profited by it,) who but regretted the
loss of the " old town clock" of Heiner's
Church. Workmen were engaged for
weeks in the removal of the structure,
among them an old citizen who had been
unfortunate in commercial matters, and
was forced to accept work, even that of
a day laborer. He worked very freely
for two or three days after the razecing
commenced, and then left suddenly, no
one knowing his reasons, or what had
become of him, until a month ago, when
it was ascertained that he had come
across treasure amounting in the aggre
gate to over a hundred thousand dollars,
in the rafters of the old church. The
treasure was in gold, and so carefully
was the old man's good fortune guarded,
that it required three days in which to
remove it. The treasure was supposed
to be the identical money missing by the
Savings Bank, when it was broken into
by the English cracksmen, over ten
years before.
The old laborer now rides about in
his double-team, and essays to play the
gentleman to his very best ability. It is
a question of some importance how this
amount Gf treasure could have been ;

The Death Warrant of Christ.
The following article we find in an old
magazine, purporting to be translated
from the Courier des Etats (This :
" Chance has put into our bands the
most imposing and interesting judicial
docum !nt to all Christians, that has ever
been recorded in human annals : that is,
the identical Death Warrant of our
Lord Jesus Christ. We transcribe the
document from a copy of the translation :
SENTENCE rendered by Pontius
Plate, acting Governor of Lower
Galilee, that JESUS of .Nazareth
shall suffer death on the Cross:
" In the year seventeen of the empire
of Tibernius Cmsar, and the 25th day of
March, the city of Holy Jerusalem ; Anna
and Caiphas being priests, sacriffcators
of the People of God, Pontius Pilate of
Lower Galilee, sitting on the presidential
chair of the prwtory, condemns Jesus of
Nazareth to die on the cross between
two thieves—the great and notorious
evidence of the people saying:
1. He is a seducer.
2. He is seditious,
3. He is an enemy of the law.
4. He calls himself, falsely, the Son
of God.
5. He calls himself the King of Israel.
6. Ho entered into the temple follow
ed by a multitude and bearing palm
branches in their hands.
Order the first centurion, Quillus
Cornelius to lead Him to the place of
execution.
Forbid any person whomsoever, either
poor or rich, to oppose the death of
Jesus
The witnesses that signed the death of
Jesus are :-1. Daniel Robani, a Phari
see; 2. Johannus Horobable ; 3. Raph
del Robani; 4. Capet, a citizen.
Jesus shall go out of the city by the
gate Strenuous."
The above sentence is engraved on a
copper-plate, ou one side are written
these words : " A similar plate is sent
to each tribe." It was found in an an
tique vase of white marble, while exca
vating in the city of Aqailla, in the
kingdom of Naples, in the year 1525,
and was discovered by the Commissariat
of Arts attached to the French armies.
At the expedition, of Naples, it was
found enclosed in a - Vox of.ebony in the
sacristy of Chartem. The vase is in the
!Chapel of Caserta. The French trans
! lation was made by the members of the
Commission of Arts The original is in
the Hebrew language. The Chartem
requested earnestly that the plate might
not be taken away from them. The re
quest was granted as a reward for the
army. M. Dorton, one of the savans,
caused a plate to be made of the same
model, on which he had engraved the
above sentence ; at the sale of his anti
quities, it was bought by Lord Howard
for 5,880 franc 2.
Night Work.
Afany of the most brutal murders and
greatest crimes committed in the city of
Now York, are perpetrated by persons
under twenty-five years of age. This
shows a very early corruption of morals,
and asau eminent jurist once said,is easily
traceable to the habit of being from home
after dark. Lord Shaftesbury stated
that in nearly all the cases of great crimes
which came before the courts the evidence
showed that the mor.il character became
vitiated between the ages of &gilt and
sixteen. Thee two terrible facts put
together should make every city parent,
especially, tremble; and if it should lead
to the adoption of the following sugges
tions, it will save many a heart from go
ing down in sorrow to the grave, or from
an embittered old age.
Da nut allow yourehildren to form the
habit of "going home" to spend the night
with their companions—no, nut one in a
year.
Keep e•em off the streets after sun
down, unless you are with them.
Do all that is possible to have a loving,
cheerful, and happy fireside, as a means of
weaning them from the street. Much
can be done in this direction by provid
ing amusements, and having the children
occupied in something interestiug,proftta
ble or new.
I Keep the birthdays; let them •be
occasions of harmeless festivities ; arrarwe
that all the holidays, too, shall be observed
appropriately.
Let the father and mother remember
that the exhibition before their children
of a loving, affectionate, and quiet deport
..!,
went towards one another in the home
i circle is a powerful bond of union in a
family ; the very sight of it wakes affec
t tionate sympathies in the hearts of child-
I ren, and cherishes the same delightful
I feelings in themselves, and soon the
housebecomes the home of love and
!quiet delight. Within half a mile of us
ithere are quite a number of families of
this sort, some of them among the
wealthiest in the city, but it is sngular
. to observe that in almost every case it is
in consequence of the mother's all-pervad
ing influence—mothers who are quiet,
gentle, lady-like, but firm in the right
always. Many 'homes are made distaste
ful to children by incessant restrictions
and criticisms, by innumerable rules and
: regulations. A household is better regu
lated by an affectionate pliancy than by
an inflexible rig idity; yielding in non
' essentials, but firm as a rock in all ques
tions of right and wrong. The night
work from eight to sixteen determines
the life character of millions.—Hall s
