And so she came tearin' along that night—
The oldest craft on the line,
With a nigger squat on her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed, rosin and pine.

And burnt a hole in the night,
And quick as a flash she turned and made

ÜBEVITIES.
MONTROSE, PI., WEDNESDAY FEB. 1,- 1871.
MISS W ARMEN.
"My last hope rests in von, May."
"In me, father?"
May Warren made answer in a tone of
surprise, raising her sad, anxious eyes to
her father's face. rt
As if her gaze discomposed him. Mr.
Warren turned his head, and his glance
wandered restlessly around the apartment.
He was an old man, with a tall, spare fig
ure, thin, gray-hair, and was sitting in an
arm-chair, by a table covered with papers,
while his pretty daughter May sat beside
him on an ottoman. She repeated her
'words :
"In me, father ?"
"Yes," he replied, starting from a mo
ment's abstraction. "Do
y ou remember
Col. Leighton, my dear ?"
"Col. Leighton ? An old man with a
heavy beard, partly gray, and pleasant
blue eves. lle dined with us a few weeks
ago. 'Yes, I remember him, father."
"Not so very old, May, not so old as I
am, and one of the finest men living. He
is wealthy,—very wealthy, too."
He me e t his daughter's questioning ga z e
fully now, as if he had wished her to read
something in his face. She kept her dark
eves fixed searchingly upon his counte
nance; the ebb and flow of the soft color
upon her cheeks betraying the quick pul
sations of her heart.
"What do you mean, father ?" she a.%1,-
ea, at leutth.
" I saw him last night. lle offered to
help me-.—save me, if—"
"If what, father ?"
" If I would give ton to him."
The words came hurriedly from Mr.
Warren's lips, as if he feard that if he de
liberated he should not lie able to utter
them at As they fell cn his daugh
ter's ear she started to her feet, pushing
her hair hack from her pale face, in a be
wildered sort of way, as if she w<re half
stunned.
" Marry me. father ? Col. Leighton ?'
she cried in a low vrdee.
Mr. Warren took her hand, and drew
her down to her seat again.
May, Col. I:•ighton kill be a good hus
band to you. 1 have known him from
boyhood, and understand perfectly welt
his character and principles. lie loves
you, will be kind to von, and strive in ev
ery way to make you happy. And more

memb:l- the matter is left in yonr own
choice. lint you k n ow what my own wish
is, what the alternative will be if you do
not accept the o i ffer."
She knew onlF to well. Folly she rra- !
liz,4 now how absolutely neressarr the
luxuries to which her father had been ar
castorned were to him. Absolute loss of
possession did not seem the most dreadful
thing in the world to her. bat • She knew
what a wreck it would make of him. in
her youth and strength the future would
still be bright and full of hope to her

with merry azure ey , s, and tossing, sunny
hair, sprang up in strong contrast

The old - man sank back with a groan.

those bitter words and that despairing at
titude. White and tearless she sat at his
feet, the agony of her heart written on her
face. The wild, desperate thought that
the sacrifice was possible occurred to her.
o " Father, dear father"'
Ile raised his head whitened with the
frosts of sixty winters, and looked at her
with a gleam of hope in his sunken eves
She crept into his arms as she had done
when a child, and laid her soft cheek
against his wrinkled brow.
" You know that I love von, father,"
she said.
" I can never remember von but as
kind, tender, and forbearing with me.
Your heart has been my home all my life.
I will work, beg, suffer fur you—l will
die for you—oh, how willingly, if need be!
But that—oh, father, you do not know
what it is that Von ask!"
He did not speak, but a moan broke
uncontrollably from his lips as he rested
his head upon her shoulder. The strug
gle in her heart sent dark shadowy waves
across her face. Could she—could she.
" Father," she whispered hurriedly,
"let me go, now. I will see you again—
answer you to-morrow." And she left
him.
lie could not see her face in the. g.,411-
ering darkness, only a glimpse of some
thing white, but be felt the quivering of
her lips as she bent to kiss him, : and
reached out his arms to embrace her, but
she was gone.
" Heaven pity me !" The words came
like a wail from her lips. She was alone
in the chamber, flung prostrate upon a
low conch, with her face hid in the cush
ions. The sound of the rustling foliage
of the garden, and the chirping of the
birds, came in through the open window
with the damp evening breeze, and the
pale light of the rising moon filled the
room with its soft radiance, but she was
unconscious of eyerythihg hilt misery.
The.house was so quiet that the sound of

VOLUME .XX-VIII';'iNIiMUERA'
The Sabbath.
'no following testimonies an I experi
ences, not of the clergy, but of statesmen,
philosophers, and men of wide reputation
in legal, medical, literary and commercial
life, bearing on a snbject attracting con
siderable attention at the - present time,
may not be uninteresting to one readers:
"If Sunday had not been observed as a
day of rest diiring the last three centuries.
I have not the smallest doubt that we
should have been at this moment a poor
er and less civilized people than we urn."
[Lord Macaulay.]
" There is ho religion without worship,
or no worship without the Sabbath."
[Count Mon talem bert.]
"The. more faithfully I apply myself to
the duties of the Lord's day, the more
happy and successful is.my busidess dur
ing the week." .[Sir Matthew Hale.]:;
" A corruption morals usually fol
lows a profanation" of the Sabbath."
[Blackstone.]
" The Sabbath as 3 politi4iinstitution
is of, inestimable value, iiidepetidently,Of
its claim to divine authority."; [Adam
Smith.]
"Sunday is a day of account, and a
candid account every seVenth day is the
best preparation fol. the great day of 'ac
count." [Lord Karnes.]
"I can truly declare that to rue the
Sabbath has been invaluable." [William
Wilberforce.]
" Give the world half of Sunday, and
you will find religion has. no strong hold
of the other." [Sir Walter Scotti •
" Where there is no Christian Sabbath
there is no Christian morality ; and with
out this, free institutions cannot long Le
sustained," [Justice McLean.]
" The longer I live the more highly do
I estimate the Christain Sabbath, and the
more grateful do I feel toward those who
impress its importance on the communi
ty." [Daniel Webster.]
In a general order, issued November
111, 1862, President Lincoln commanded
that "Sunday labor in the arrrhyand navy
be reduced to the measure of strict neces
sity. The discipline and character of the
national forces should not suffer, nor the
cause they defend be imperiled, by the
profanation of the day or name of the
Most nigh."
Attorney-General Bates, of the Cabinyt,
wore: "The religions character of an in
stitution so ancient, so' sacred, s-) lawful
and so necessary to the peace, the corn
fort and the respectability of society,
ought alone to be sufficient for its protec
' tion ; but, that failing, surely the laws of
the land made for its account ought to
• be as strictly enforced, as the laws tur the
protection of person and property. If
the Sunday laws be neglected or despised
tht laws of person and property will soon
share their hite and be equally disregard
ed."
" The Sabbath must be. observed as a
day of rest. This Ido not state as an
opinion, but knowing that it has its
foundation upon a law in man's nature
as fixed as that he must take food or die."
[Dr. Willard Parker, of New York City.]
"As a day of rest, I view the Sabbath
as a day of compensation for the inade
quate restorative power of the body under
continued labor and excitement. O , ne -
day iu seven, by the bounty of Ps vi
deuce, is thrown in as a day of compensa
tion to perfect by its repose the animal
system." [John Richard Farre, M. D.. of
r .
London, England.] ,
--
Ia Presse, one of the great secular
journals of Paris, has said, "England owes
" much of her energy and character to
" the religious keeping of Sunday. Why
" cannot Fiance follow Lei., as the Sub
" bath was made for all men, and we need
"sits blessing?
The present Lem] Chancellor of Eng
lam.] stated at a public ineeting,, "I am
"glad to say that,our Sunday in 'London '
"is not yet like a continental, Sunday.',
"Looking at the question from the lowest
"point of view, it is the eSPccial duty and
"interest of working men to discourage
"all attempt to interfere with the seventh I
" day as a day of rest; for, once let the
" Parisian system COW into vogue in this
"country, under which the sLiforlds of!
" public buildings were as crowded with
" workmen as on any other day, and they I
" would have to work seven days for the
"pay new received for six."
"So• far as my observation extends,
those who are in the habit of avoiding
worldly cares on the Sabbath are those
most remarkable for the liiq.fect perfor
mauccof their duties durm,g the week.
I have a firm belief that such persons are
able to do more work, and do it iu a het,
ter manner, in six days, than if they
worked the whole wen!' [AIM C. War
ren, M. D., Professor in the Medical Col
lege of Ilarvard University.]
"A very prefOuud and wonderful re
form has just been begun in Paris. The
principal shops—including those Of neav-
Iy all the linens . drapers, hosiers, sill
mercers, and venders of ready made ap
parel—will henceforth be closed on Sun
days. The merchants. havd taken this
step of their own accord, and the einplev
ees appeal to the good will of the public
to aid them in making the measure gnu-.
eral." New York Times, Jund 8, 18681
" I have long been of the opinion . that
it is M the interest 'of the railroad• and
steamboat companies to suspend opera
i tions on the Sabbath, as. it demoralizes
the men and makes
,them reckless, and so.
