THE QABELLI33 •
'Twas but a word, a careless word,
• As thistle-down It seemed as light;
. !It paused a moment in the air, ,
Then onward winged, its flight..
Another lie caught up the lord,
And breathed It with a hearty Sneer;
It gathered weight as of It sped,
That carelera word, In Its career.
Then rumor caught the Dying word,
And busyrutalp gate It weight,
*!:i Until that little word became
A vehicle of angry hate.
And then that word was Winged with Lire,
It mission was a thing of pain;
For soon It tell like lava thopk,
Upon a w1141,1y-tortured
Awl then another pari of illo
With burning, scakling team was blurred
A load of care was heavier made, ' ,
Its added Avelg4t, that careless
Imord.
That careless word, oh! how It sccirched
A fainting, bleeding, quivering heartt
'T was likt; a hungry tire, that 'watched
"Through every tender, vital
Ilow wildly thisobbetti that aching heart
.Deep agony its fountains stlrre 1;
It calmed . ; but 'Mier Ashes mark

THE OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY DUB,
a: t Om;
The question has been much agi
tatek whether or not them 'shall be
any modification of the laws regu
lating the observance of the Sabbath
during the Centennial Exhibttion.
Modifications have been proposed,
not only in Philadelphia, but in the
grea4keighboring cities.
The Centennial Exhibition is NA
voN4t. in its character. It will exert
an influence, unrestricted by local
limits ! '" as broad - as the land, and
reaching far beyond the oceans.
That influence should be beneficial ,
and Unexceptional. The American .
people: have a deep interest in the
issue of this question. From it will
flow grave results. Our fathers, who
laid the foundation of our LIBEItTir,
and reared the' noble fabrics of our
Munielpal, State and National Gov
ernments, enacted these laws. They
based ;them upon the Divine com
mand.; Those pure and patriotic men
feared.l3iod and honored Him. They
believed that Itightousness exalteth
a nation." Do you need an illustra
tion-of it? Head the Proclamation
issued. by order of the Continental
Congress, John Hancock President,
in thie , city, March 18th, 1776.
Under these laws we have grown
in greatness and power. They have
bestoied lasting blessings upon the
human race.
In this year of national joy, with
the inn' strions examples of the pure
and patriotic before us, reaping the
fruitsHpf their virtue, let us rot
m(110 or relax these laws, but main
tai em in their - integrity.
unday, as a Put it ical institution,
, I,lt
is o inestimable value. Many of the
mos =distinguished men attest it.
kordMacatilay said that " if Sunday
had nit been observed as a day of
rest d r nring the last three centuries,
I have - not the smallest doubt that
we shOuld have been at this moment
a poorer and less civilized class than
we are; l ' Blackstone said, ", A cor
ruptionof morals usually follows the
profanation of the Sabbath.'
Said the late Attorney-General
Bates "The religious character of
an institution so ancient, So sacred,
so laNtful, and so necessary to the
peace,:;the comfort and respectability
of society, ought alone - to be suffi
cient for its protection ; but, that
Eiilinf4•surely the laws, made for its
account, ought to be as strictly en-.
forcedlas the laws for the protection
of per Son and property. If the Sun
day laws be neglected or despised,
the laWs of person and property will
soon. Share their fate, and be equally
disregarded."
There exists no necessity for the
modification of the Sunday laws in
any or our cities. There is no neces
sity fur keeping open any depart
ment the Centennial Exhibition
on ! Suhday. The Exhibition will con
tinue si.x months. That period of
time Will afford the amplest opportu
nity to all classes,who may desire to
visit it. Let. the original design of
the Centennial Commission be car
ried chit.
Let` the Exhibition be closed on
the Sabbath. Let there be no co►n
promise. The sentiment of the na
tion ia . ,against it. Let there be one
day each week of quietness and rest,
one day in seven in which the ai& r i
sacra;` lames accursed hunger
after :gold—may be banished from
. the btisbm of the active, enterprising
American.
Lep us maintain the . faith 9f our
fathers, and our example, like theirs,
will not be lost for good upon those
who come after us.—Pennsylvania

HOSPITALITY.

The !most, obtuse must see in this

HEAP LIVING.
A suggestive
‘ account has just been
published by: r German woman in
this country .the work done by,
certain women in Berlin in reducing
the price of - living in that city. In
1866 Mrs. Lena Morgenstern, with
two or three other ladies of wealth
and influence, finding that the cost
of provisions was enormons, estab
lished several Folks-Kiiectien, or
people's kitchens—restaurants where
meals could be had at the retail cost
of the materials alone. 111'1.873 these
women determined to brinff . their
charity into their own homes by''' form
ing a libusekeepers' .AssoCiation,
whose object should be the reduction
of the cost of living, the promotion
of plain and economical habits, and
the , improveinent of the condition of
servants. In 1874 there were 250
members. Co-operative laundries,
bakeries, intelligence-otllces, and
stores for groceries, meats and pro
visions were opened, all- under the :
svpervision of women. At the present
time the membership embraces 6,000
families, and issues'a weekly paper of
a high order, containing its price lists,
etc. The central bureau imports its
supplies direct from China, France,
Java, the United States etc., and is
thus enableil to supply the co-opera -,
tive trade throughout Europe. Coal
is also purchased wholesale by the
association, - and sold in accurately
measured ears,, an inprovement on,
our own system which every house
holder in New York or Philadelphia
will appreciate. The whole of ‘ this
vast business enterprise is managed
—and accurately managed—by Word
men. Their last annual statistical

In an elegant mansion near the

two ladies of the, olden aristocracy
—Mrs. Freeman and , her sister, Miss

romance clings which makes her in

and paying his respects to her imtne

the evening before and refused tosee
him,•and they never met again. What
regrets were felt the world has neverknown, but many an aniry
imprjlsn
has wrecked the happiness of men
and women beyond reparation. , ,
In his Reading SundayNeths,'
Alfred Sanderson says there is a very
little -truth in this romance. the
facts as he tells them are these:
When the late ex-President
nri BU-
..
chanan was a . youngd almost brief
less lawyer at Lancaster ;' he became
engaged to a young and 'gifted lady
of that placte. Either from some fan
cied cause Of neglect, upon the part
of her suitor, or of opposition on the
part of her relatiyen, to the match,
she collimated suieide. The,ex-Pres

vows, never married, and ] was never
,engaged to any other lady.
