What a delightful theme! There is
nothing that haa such an effect on the
human heart a* the remembrance of
early associations. How power’ul i' is.
Who does not love to steal away from
the busy cares of life, and peruse Mem*
2 oo or - v8 book ? Do you not agree
with me, dear reader, when 1 say we
gather the -richest treasures for the fu
ture, while meditating on the sad chan
ges of the past! You may ask why
allow our thoughts to turn backward
-instead of looking to the future? Our
thought«, as they review the past, ani
mate us to improve life better in the
future. As we go back to childhoods
happy days, and call up the bright
scenes and pleasures of our youthful
sport: how natural for us to inquire,
why were the former days better than
these? Gut in this we do not inquire
wisely. We all desire to be remem
bered ; then, should we not make our.
selves worthy of remembrance! There
are a great many that deserve to be
remembered. I will only meotion a few.
Gen, George Washington, Dr. Franklin,
Sir Isaac Newton, Socrates, and our
noble Stonewall Jackson. AH admire
such ryoblo men. But I fain would
wend my way to a beautiful garden j as
we enter its lovely enclosure we can al.
most imagine that we are in an ideal
world, instead of a part of this sinful
earth. Above, the thrilling songs of
birds; below us, the gentle murmur of

from 8ociety; it is wrong: we should
not mdblge too much in waiting life's
golden hours; but should turn a deaf
ear to her syren voice. While we ap
prove of recalling the past, let us also
remember that this is not our abiding
homo, and thot if we would be prepared
for another state of being.
“We most be op and doing
With a heart for an, tate,
Still achieving, still pursuing.
Learn to labor and to wait.”
If we would be remembered by those
we love, when time and distance shall
seperate us from friends, we must striv
to endear ourselves to them by being
amiable, kind and warm-hearted, white
with them. Gentle reader, there is
little song so congenial with our feet ngs
that I think we should repeat it. It
called
*X1S SWEET TO BE REHEAIBERED.
“It is sweet to be remembered,
Even when life’s sh, is bright »
It adds Dew fragrance to the flower,
New radiance to the light;
And birda ’mong leaf, branches
Sing with p sweeter tone ;
Hope’s altar fire it ki' dleth
To know we are not alone.”
“It is aweet to be remembered
When skies are dark with gloom,
And tiied and trusted friendships
Are buried in the tomb.
It makes onr hearts grow lighter
When softly ’mid onr tears;
Will the, keep our memory sacred
Through the weary, toilsome years.
“.It is sweet to be remembered
Hj the loved ones far away;
And the kindly woids they send us
Shed a cheering, gentle ray.
Oh, are we still remembered ?
Say we softly ’mid our tears ;
Through the weary, toilsome years.
It is sweet to be remembered
When the dying hour is near,
For the prayers of our beloved
Make our weak faith more clear,
And to dentil’s dark, shadowy angel
A lovely smile is given
Ab! ’tis blessed to bo remembered
By that better Friend in heaven."

After a hard week’s toil had been
concluded, I roee%n the morning of
the sevafath day, grarpartially rested
from the pfeced^f^week’s labor, re*
keep the sabbath holy for it is the
Lord’s day.
The question, why should we not
labor on the sabbath ? is often perti
nent and pressing—when we reflect
for a moment the shortness and un
certainty of life—and the thousand
and one things to be accomplished.
A great many trifles .presented
themselves, not precisely in the daily
routine of bosiness, yet by having
them attended to on that day the reg
ular bnsines would be considerably
advanced by this apparent time sav*
ing way ot employing the sabbath or
port of it. Why, then, this com
mandment, Thou sbalt not labor on
the sabbath day, thy man servant
nor thy maid servant &c? Is the
Lord of the sabbath to be benefited
by your resting on the sabbath and
remembering to keep it holy ? Cer
tainly not. Why, then, the command
ment ? Is it because the Most High
is exbalted or benefited by the con
templation of his wotks or by the
praises of the limited intelligence of
man; or by addressing petitions and
suplications to that Father who
knotveth all onr wants and necessi
ties, our weakness, vanity, and wick
edness ? This, to say the least of it,
is a very unsatisfactory reason.
Should we not rather look into the
character of man's physical and men
tal condition for the true solution of
J, diligence
and energy are inculcated by the same
authority, but man cannot labor wit fa-
out rest, the drain, produced by. the
day’s toil, upon t>.e system, is not al
ways fully repaired by sleep and rest
through the night, and without this
supply, of material exhausted during
the day. the body is soon emaciated,
the energy fails, and the spirit faints.
The seventh day, then, was wisely
set apart for this purpose, that the
physical powers should be thorough
ly recuperated and the balance be
tween the exhaustion and supply of
the system should be fully restored.
Taking this view of the subject, that
man, who fails to avail himself of
this rest and relaxation, is sinning
against his nature and interest, and
under the physiological laws his be
ing cannot escape the punishment
appointed for a violated law of na
ture, which ia a law of Gid. There
are no exceptions or exemption^ un
der this law,’the learned professions
as well as the daily laborers, are sub
ject to its authority. And in fact, if
it is more absolute and imperative
upon the part of one vocation than
another, it is against the learned
professions that it is most urgent.
For who can estimate the exhaustion
of the nervous system, when we re
flect that every effort in thought and
and reason produces a change in the
relations of the globules of brain and

true that this consumption of brain
is readily repaired through the influ
ence of tlip.circulation, when that
fuhetion is in a moral state; but bf

the appointment of the sabbath ot rest.

They accused Christ of violating the
law of Moses because be healed the

would pull the ox out of the ditch on
that day, but refused to defend them
selves against an attack of the enemy.
But let us look farther back into the
history of the world for the setting
apart of the seventh day as a season
of rest.
The work of creation was finished,
the-genial rays of the sun fell gently
upon the new born earth, on the
morning of the seventh day, the
Great Author of the universe had in
spected the work aud pronounced it
very good.” From ocean to ocean
the continents smiled in the green
tender foliage of recent existence, and
in its beauty and perfection justified
the assertion of its being very good.
The gently flowing tide and waves of
the ocean, sang “Te Deiuns” to the
Great Author of all things. For, as
yet, the calm had not been broken,
save by the gambols and sports of
the fr< licsome monsters of the briny
deep. The tides and waves ebbed and
flowed gently, for the “strife of ele
ments” had not yet fashed it into ‘‘ra
ging billows mountain high.” It was
the first day after the great work was
accomplished, and the Lord hallow
ed and sanctified it, as a day of rest

bubytO-di’qpp ter kick of exercise. In
doors be bad' Iiis books for company|
outside there were hie farm laborers to
be directed, and a hundred plans of im
provement to be arranged and matured.
Nature, whom he loved) opened for him
a page of Wonderful illuminations. Hie
lands stretched along a river valley un
surpassed in quiet beauty; full of still
places where, shut in by the thick foliage
of the wood from all iuharmonious sights
and sounds, one might sit, as it were
between two heavens^tlje j)qe reaching
for and blue above, and the other mir
rored in the smooth stream below.
It was in these years of self-contained
and actfnl restfulness—to use. a seeming
paradox—that Britton gathered strength
for a very different after-life.: But it is
not of that after-life—striking its roots
deeply into the foundations of society,
and overarching so many burdened arid
sorrowial ones with its beneficent
shadow—that my short,story has to do.
Adjoining the Elms was the summer
residence of the Gibsons, a family of
little education or native Refinement,
who. having been suddenly made rich
by speculation, devoted their best efforts
to the task of maintaining an appearance
becoming their wealth. .Season by sea
son Britton dreaded the opening of the
house. The very presence of his neigh
bors, with the train of company, their
showy dress and boisterous mirth,
seemed to hurt the simplicity of biv own
home. Mrs. Gibson, confusing her ser
vants with ' contradictory orders, or
scolding them for real or fancied remiss,
ness, little suspected that the tone in
which she exercised her brief authority
was itself a proof of her unfitness for the
circle to which she aspired.
The familiar friendship of the master
of the Elms was a good upon which her
heart was set, and she plied poor Gey
accordingly with her most transparent
blandishments—he groaning iu spirit
meanwhile, at her inability to see how
utterly they were wasted.
Going, one day, to speak to Mr. Gib-
sou on some business, Guy, as he came
near the house, beard a voice singing.
He could not distinguish the word*, but
the melody seemed fami.iar. He thought
he must have heard it long ago, and as
he listened the perplexed memory
Bbaped itself into a vision of his mother,
rocking back and forth in the summer
twilight, and singing him to sleep. His
eyes grew moist with the .rush of tender
recollections, and still the sweet, thrill
ing voice sang on. Who could it-be?
Impossible 1 And while he wondered
the song ceased, and a face appeared for
a moment at the window. He had just
time to take it in at a glance—the delir
cate, high-bred features, informed
throughout with a sad thoughtfulness;
the large blue eyes half veiled by their
dark laslics; the brown hair pushed back
iu wavy masses; the clear skin, its fair
ness heightened by the effect of the
monrning dress below.
The girl who answered Guy's ring
showed him into the parlor, where Mr.
and Mrs. Gibson sat over their lunch.

see you ! Just to think,” with a re
proachful smile, “that you haven’t been
