The sunset smile had left the sky,
The moon rose calm and fair,
As low a little maiden knelt
To breathe her nightly pray'er,
In simple words and few
"Dear Lord, - please send usblessed dreams
And let them all come true !"
0, I have stood in temples grand;
Where, in the rainbowed gloom,
Rose pompous prayers from priestly lips,
Through clouds of dense perfume,
But never one has seemed to me
So guileness; pure and new—
"Dear Lord, please send us blessed dreams
' And let them all come true!"
Ah, little maiden, kneeling there,
Beneath the sunset skies,
What need Irase - we - ofother - prayer ---
Than yours, so sweet and wise;
Henceforth I breathe no studied plea,

RELIGIOUS EQUALITY.
Action of the Legislgtare of the , State of
—Pennsylva-nia.
Below will be found the action ,of the
Legislature of Pennsylvania on the peti
tion of the Seventh-day Baptists, tiir the
passage of suca au act as will relieve thorn
from the unjust effects of the law of April'
22d,-1104. The proceeding of the House
of Representatives, ou the evening of A
pril 3d, 1873, on this question, as they
come to us in the Harrisburg Daily Tele
graph, are as follows : •
Agreeably to order, the House resumed
the consideratiou of bills on the public
calendar.
An act to exempt persons who religi
ously observe the seventh day of the week
as the Sabbath from thepeualties 'of the
act of April '22, 1794.
Mr. Reynolds, of Bedford, addressed
the House in support of the bill, contend.
ing that the act 01794, is in direct con
flict with the spirit of true religious lib
erty and the national and State constitu
tion. He referrcd to .people- whose con
victions are that the seventh and not the
first day of the Week is the true Sabbath
to 'be observed by Christiansreferring
to the SeVenDay Baptists. He contended
that no possible wrung could be done to
the community by the passage of the bill,
whilst it would recognize the right of con,
science, and be consistent with the funda
mental laN of the land.
Mr. Brown followed,. saying that the
people who delighted ti worship God on
the seventh day of„,,the week are denied
the right which the Constitution clearly'
confers upon all citizens. He corrobora
ted all that was so well said by the gen
tlemen from Bedford, [Reynolds.] He
referred to the promptness with which
these people went to the front during the
rebellion, and shared in the sacrifices on
the battle-field. All he claimed ibr them
is the unmolested enjoyment of religious
liberty—to worship God as they believed
to be right.
Mr. Williams referred towthe Seventh
day`aptists residing in his county ; said
they are an excellent people who petition
for what they believe to be their right of
conscience, and he would gladly vote for
the bill.
Mr. llahon made a few remarks ex
pressing the opinion that the" bill is im
perfect, yet he would vote for it.
Mr. Lane expressed the belief that the
recognition of any other than the first day
of the week would be dangerous, and tend
to vice and crime. It is a necessity to ob
serve one day of the week as the Sabbath,
and he would oppose the bill.
Mr. Lawson contended that the gentle
man from Erie and from Bedfbrd.stood on
untenable grounds ; that the Saviour rest
ed on the first and notOn the seventh day
of the week, and that adhering to the sev
enth would be going back to the old llo
saii2 law.
Mr: Elliott (Speaker) pronounced it
the most iniquitous bill of the present ses
sion, and wanted it voted down.

The above action is too vital to pass un
noticed, for it strikes at the foundation on
which the superstructure of the American
government rests. Religions tyrany in

of its choicest spirits from their homes, a

from the pursuit of the relentless oppress

itheidfilially a national compact was form
ed, the corner stone of which had inscrib•
ed upon it, Religious liberty for all. Eve
ry beating pube of this new-born child a
mong the nations was quickened and made
strong by the inspirations of the spirit of
libertyand-equality,--But - this
lone had not possession of this country,
for slavery and oppression were here, and
by their artful management, subsidized
the government, and so obtained its un
natural support. But thank Heaven, sla
very is dead, though in its death it nearly
cost the nation its life. And yet the strife
is not ended, for although the slave is free,
and by law enjoys the rights of , •
any. political equality, religious tyrany
still lives and is fostered by law, notwith
standing the clear and righteous utteran
ces of the, organic law of the nation ; and
this tyrany finds support in the action of
an overwhelming majority of the House
of Representatives of the great Common
wealth
of Pennsylvania, April 3d, 1873,
And yet in that dignified and powerful
body are found twenty-seven Representa-
Ltives-who-have-eyes-and
hero imn, Let their names be enshrined in
your loving hearts, friends of freedom, and
teach your children to utter Them with rev
erence and affection.' These men ,are
- strangers; to use ut—we-tlris-day-inscrilie
th6r names upon the pillar of fame, and
write them upon the sacred roll where. rum
recordedthe names of those who; loving
the right, have dared to do
.it !
Of the fifty-six who hate placed them
selves upon - the side of Oppression and in
justice, we will say but little, for with some
of them at least we doubt not that want
of light whe m
as tir isfortune, and their '
want of light was a misfortune to those'
upon whom they have laid the heavy hand
of oppression. For some of them we know
- not - whit - apology - tormake, - fbethosewhonr
they wrong are a part of their constituen
cy ; and how they can, under such circum
stances, be without guilt, either from prej
udice or neglect, we cannot see. A man
who excepts-the-responsibilities of-office,
should seek to possess himself of the requi
site qualifications for the honorable dis
eharge of the trust committed to him. It
is a public calamity for a man to except
office and then fail of meeting his respon
sibilities, either for want ofiutelligence or
candOr.
That some of these men acted from im
perfect knowledge is clear. Mr. Lane
said, "The recognition of anv other .than
the first day of the week would be danger
ous, and tend to vice and crime," and this
in the face of the fact that Seventh-day
people form communities that rank with
the very best,in his State. There are none
more virtuous and law-abiding ; and his
imputation is a slander, having its origin
in ignorance or piejudice, or in something ,
else equally, discreditable to him as a leg
islator. Itr. Lane should infot in himself
concerning these persons wilorn he thus
wrongs, ooth in his speech and legislative
acts.
Mr. Lawson said "that the Saviour rest
ed on the . first and not on the seventh day
of the week." We do DOG know Mr. Law 7
son ' but do not doubt that he is a fair
mitided gentleman, nor do we doubt but
he is a man of fair attainments; but one
thing we do know, and that is, that in this
case; he talked of a matter of which he
was not informed. The scriptures fur
nish us all of the information we have
concerning the doings of Christ, and it is
certain from these that He did not keep
the first day but did keep the Seventh day.
This is a simple' qnestion of fact and not
of inference, and whoever has studied care
fully the.four gospels, knows that they do
not contain one word about the - Saviour's
keeping the first day. We would not
wrong. Mr. Lawson, and to provP our sin
cerity; we offer him the use
. of our col
umns in which to justify his assertion.—
And further, if he can quote one passage
which says Christ kept the first day of the
week and not the seventh, we will as pub
licly confess our error as, we have made
the above statement.
"Mr. Elliot (Speaker) pronounced this
the most inquitous bill of the present ses
sion, and wanted it voted down." Just
why it was the most iniquitous/bill of the
session, the Speaker did not say, so far as
the report shows, but it is pertinent to in
quire, wherein'the iniquity of the bill con
sists. . It certainly was an imperfect one,
because it fell far below the standard of
right as it regards the wants of those in
whose interest it was framed, but evident
ly this was not its fault in the mind of the
Speaker. He evidently would grind under
his heel these Seventhday persons. The
inquity pf the bill consisted in this, that.
to some extent, it respected the civil and
religious rights of this excellent people,
whose in consists ill this, that they, as be
lievers in the Divine authenticity of the
Scriptures, practice their evident teaching
concerning the day of weekly rest. This
they do at a sacrifice, at the best ; but the
State of Pennsylvania; as if from motives
of spite, adds to their otherwise heavy
burden, that of unjustly discriminating
legislation. A man who in that State,
obeys the fourth commandment, is regard
ed as a vile person, and must be stigmatiz
ed and punished as if he were a nuisance
to be abated.

—A correspondent of the Sunday Dawn,
published at Philadelphia, comments on
the above action of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature, in the following truthful
,and
orcible-inaLnerr---
"Another important measure involving
the right of religious liberty, was killed
—that exempting Sabbatharians from the
pains and penalties of a seminon observ
ance of the first day of the week. The
measure was brilliantly and eloquently
presented by Mr. Reynolds, of Bedford,
argued forcibly by Mr. Brown of Erie,
. _
opposed by Mr. Lane 4 and others. The
same spirit that drove Roger Williams
from Massachusetts to Rhode Island, the
Puritans from England, "thumb-screwed"
and "hooted" Covenanters in Scotland,

it that crucified Christ, prevailed. The
bill fell." .
A New Swindle.
tempt to defraud the Government has just
been brought to light in N. York. For
ingenuity of conception and completeness
of detail it has rarely been surpassed.
A youn - g — raw scarcely twenty - years - of
age,
teller
_of a down-town bank, wrote to
de--Treasury - departnieut,at "Whshiugt,, ,
inclosing a $5OO bill, quite worn in ap
pearance, which be wished exchanged for
new money' The money he desired sent
to his, address in that city. The letter - and
bill were referred to the proper clerks in
the office without suspicion of wrong. Up
on examination it was found that it was
a trifle shorter than it should be. This
led to closer investigation, which revealed
the fact that it was constructed of slips
- ent — frnixi — the - g - ennine - bills - ofthe -- samede=
nomination, pasted logetlaer with wonder
ful exactness and care. . Thee strips, to
the number of fifteen ' were pasted to a
strip of tissue paper almost invisible, so
thin wasits texture. T The first was cut
from the left end of a genuine note, the
second from another bill to join, the third
to join that, &c. Fifteen bills of the same
issue must have been manipulated in or
der to obtain the requsite number of strips.
So small was the portion taken from each
bill that its absence could be easily con
cealed from any but a critical eye, by
joining the edges of the major and remain
ing parts. • The rectangular pieces were
fitted 'to their respective
, positions in the
manufactured note, were joined with such
exactness that the engraved lines and prin
ted words were complete and unbroken.
betectives were. stationed at the desig
nated place, and when the young man
called for his answer from Washington he
Was arrested on a charge of attempting to
defraud the Government. He was astound
ed' at the arrest and made a full confession
of guilt. Hitherto, he had worn an un
blemished reputation, and had many and
influential friends. It was satisfactorily
shown that it vas his first deviation anal
the path of rectitude, and as his penitence
was as sincere as his grief, his friends ask
ed for mercy. General Spinner was pre
sented with a petition signed by influen
tial men of that city, who begged to re
frain from a prosecution of the offender.—
The culprit himself wrote a letter to Gen.
Spinner, concealing none of the facts and
imploring forgiveness. In view of these
circumstances, and the fact that he was
the only support of a widowed and aged
mother, and a sister of great respectability,
the prosecution was withdrawn.
For the same reason the name of the un
fortunate youth is suppressed from-publi
cation.
Here it may be stated that the pieces
taken from the $5OO bills do
,uot impair
their value, as under a rule established by
Secretary Boutwell, any bill from which
less than one-half bad been taken will be
redeemed.at the Treasury Department at
the full valise of the original bill.
The Pirnos.
On the Gila river, in Arizona there is
a community of Indians called Pintos,
who are supposed to have inhabited that
region for matkv hundred years. They
have a little reservation t'wenty-five miles
long by four miles in width, upon which
they . have some ten oi; twelve villages, and
number about 3,000 souls, including a
tribe called the Coeo Maricopas, who took
refuge with Pintos about sixty years ago
and have since affiliated with them.. The
Pimos are biave warriors, and in conjunc
tion with their allies, the Coco Mexico
pas, have successfully fought the fierce
Apaches for many years. - They cultivate
fields of wheat, corn and cotton ; they
spin cotton and weave blankets. The wo
men are modest and pleasing; it is said
there is not an uncbase woman in the M
inos tribe.
Since the first white man 'crossed the
plains, the Pimos have been faithful and
:devoted friends of the whole race. Emi
grants, weary and worn after their tedi
ous journey across the continent•, have al
ways found kindness, protection, and a
generous hospitality in the Pintos villages
Not a singe act of treachery has been
charged against them, but froth • the first
to the last they have been true and faith
ful friends of the white man. And now
a swarm of worthless white'sQuatters have
settled around them, are encroaching up
on their reservaation, and returning for
their kindness and good faith, illtreat
ment, robbery and outrage. If the Pintos
are not fully protected from the thievish
designs of these wretches, our government
will deserve, and will doubtless receive,
the censure and scorn of the whole civil
ized world.

N,vw York Shop Girls.
It is estimated that there are 125,000
females earning a livelihood in New York
city and its vicinity by their daily labor,
aside from those engaged in domestic pur
suits, The ages of one-fifth of this - num
ber range within the years .of childhood.
In nearly every occupation which the
wants of humanity sustain women are en
gaged. More than 400 employments are
recorded in which they are largely repre-'
sented. There are between Wand 500
establishments in New York city, employ
ing upwards of 1,800 milliners. There
are between 10,000 and 12,000 women
employed in making artificial flowers
and curling and dressing ornamental fea
thers. Two-thirds of this number are un
der fifteen years of age, and in some fac
tories none but young girls are received
to learn on account. of he length of time
'required to obtain proficiency.
In the largest and most wealthy dry
goods. houses the sewing machinery in the
millinery department is run by steam,
which simplifies the labor. At these es
tablishments the girls' wages average from
$7 to $1 . 2 per week. For covering para
sols and umbrellas the girls receive from
Bto 24 cents. Many old ladies reduced
in circumstances and in some instances
from affluence—widows of bankers—work
at making caps from sunrise till midnight
for 25 cents a day.
There are 9,000 tailoresses doing custom
work, and of these 7,400 are vest-makers..
The first-class workers in this department
of men's garments receive better prices
than those in other branches of tailoring.
Some "slop, shops" pay 20 cents for mak
ing
a vest and 15 cents for pantaloons.
Several thousand women and girls work
in the various book-binding estab:ihments
of the city, and it is thought that at least
half of the girls working thus are wider
fifteen yearsofage. Many of the employees
are persons of refinement and education,
and those in the larger establishments are
su ire undd by ele rating influence. Young
girls employed at the American Bibl
society earn from $5 lo $7 per week for
binding and folding
Many thousand woman are at work in
the tobacco factories, princpally in "stem
ming" the weed and 'packing it for mar
ket. Thep also make cigars and color
the bladders for holding snuff, fill, paCk,
cap, label, varnisb,auel wrap them. The
workers, while handling the snuff anti to
bacco are as fully under its influence, as
the most inveterate smoker or chewer.—
Necessarily a)arge quantity of the fine
dust is'inhaled, which causes great oppres
sion at. the stomach, induces diseases of
thehingS, and otherwise seriously injures
the health. .
No system of education was ever so false
and dangerous as that which inculcates
the idea that labor is a badge of dishonor,
or that the laboring man is not the peer
of the most exAted in the land. The
workshop is the bat and surest road' to
usefulness and to fortune. It lies direct
ly in the path of honor and distinction
and wealth. It is the best theatre now
offered for most perfect development of
the ,genius and of talent. There is no
place where the man of education, can
demonstrate his capacity for usefulness
better than in the mach;ne shop and a
midst the steam and machinery of our
great munufactories. ,It is, above all oth
ers, the place for the young man who re
ally wants to work and win his way to
wealth and to an honored and honerable
position among his fellow-men.—Ex.

"The man in the moon" is an express
ion which from time immorial has been
applied to spots on the - moon visible to the
naked eve, but which a telescope shows to
be the shadow , ' of lunar mountains. One
ancient superstition is that a man who
stole a bundle of sticks on Sunday was
confined in the moon, and we see his fig
ure. Another supposes Cain to have
been the °Tender, who was eternally pla
ced iu the moon as a:punishment for his
crime. This would really be very, appro
priate retreat for murderers.
The story is told of a woman. who free
ly used her tongue to the scandal of oth
ers, and made confession to the priest of
what she had done. He gave her a ripe
thistle top, and told her to go out in va
rious directions and scatter the seeds one
by one.
and
at the penance, she
obeyed, and then returned and told her
confessor. To her amazement - he bade
her go back and gather thes'atttered seeds;
and when she objected that it would be
impossible, he replied that it would still
be more difficult to gather upend destroy
all evil reports which she had circulated
about others.; Any thoughtless; careless
child can scatter a handful of thistle seed
before the wind in a moment, but the
strongest and wisest man cannot gather
them again. •
