How a Denctm Broke the Sab bath. A carious iac'.deat of Sabbath break ing occurred iu the parish ol' Hampton, Conn., in the good old time. A certain jolly farmer, who lived sev eral miles from tho meeting bouse, was attocisbtd to observe one Sunday morn ing bis near neighbor, a pious deacon, bard at work iu bis hay-held, with his sons ana bis "hired man.” liut tbe truth was soon divined ; the deacon, who took no daily paper auil owned no almanac, —was, iu sk"r p , not a literary man—bad mistaken the day of the week, and bis well-ordered lamily had ad >pted his error. 1 am sorry to add that, being more of a wag than a saint, our tariu.r dec lined to euigbteD tbe iuuocent Sabbath breaker, but drovo on, chuckling, to ward tbe sauctuaty. The deacou locked after bint, and, pausing in the utidst of the broad swell he was cutting, exclaimed : “Es there aih’t neighbor Doolittle and all the chil dren, di catted up and goin’ visitin’ {Sat urday uiormn’in the midst if hayiu’ time. That beats all.” Tbe next moruitg the deacon and the deacon’s wile, bis sons and daugnters, his hired man, the hired girl, and the “bouud boy,” all arrayed in their tsuu day beat, set cut for meeting, in go and order—the eldest son on Uoisclack, with (be oldest daughter mounted be. biud on a pi liou ; the deacon, with the rest of tbe family, in tbe big farm nag u drawn by a pair of stout roans, who j' gged soberly along with their meekest Sunday look on. The family delusion extend-, and cveD to the yellow dog, who trotted iu the rear of tbe decorous turnout, without secular frisk, or baik, or gaotb 1. Ou the way to lUe village the deacon was sut prise j aud shucked to see scvci al of bis fellow-townsmen at wotk iu their fields. He invariably stopped to reprove them, but the j >ke of his owq bunday work nad -plead through the neighborhood; aud was so much relished that no one cared to undeceive him. Each Grant's excuse for hi* impiety was the necessity ot getting iu his bay before a shower, which he pretended was imminent, though the sky was cloudless. Expos tulations and replies were sometning af er this sort: “Why, Uuclo Zebulon ! this here is a fine day, with uo appearance of rain.” J Jes' so, Licacuu’, hut the wiud’s tit le uusttddy, and 1 believe iu takiu’ time by the forelock.” "But, Uucie, it is the Lord’s lime.” “Yes, Lieaeou j but I iuteud to send a load ot tLis here hay to Parson Mostly, aud that’ll make it ail square, 1 guess.” ‘■Why, neighborliarlow, where uuder the oano'-y do you fii*d signs of rain to-, day ?” ••In the corns, Deacon. When they begin to sloot i look oat for a damp spel; and it always comes, soon or late.” “\Vhy, Ephratui Petlingill; I atn beat! You borst-ihociug on Sunday !” •‘Why, you kuow Deacon, . ruarciful man is marctful to bis Least. ” Alter each specious response the dea con shook his head mournfully, aud drove on. lie reached the village, drove up to the mcetieg*house steps, where he and his htted m*u Lauded out the womeu-folks and children, his son and dtughter had already dismounted at the horse-blook; and together they mar veled much at me closed meeting.h< use doors and the vacant wagon-shed There they waited, more and more amazed till several loungers from ths village sure gathered arouLd them, laughing and quizzing, till a terrible small boy called out, “What are you doth’ here Mouday morniu 1 Did you sleep over Sunday, or did yon forget to pat your beans iuto the oven (Saturday night?” VOL.

Coiitrnrta to ■>« Paid In Con- I'edei'ute ilioatey. Since the close of the war many diffi enltica have arisen in tbe Southern Stales from the want of an established ru e in regard to the responsibilities in curred under contracts made during tbe progress of the rebellion which stipula ted either for the payment of dollars, which were mutually understood to mean dollars of Confederate money, or so many dollars iu that currency. By tka courts of some of tho States, ours among tho rest, it has been held that suob con tracts were void. These super-loyal judges will now learn that they have been hasty in their decisions. The im portant points involved in the quostious uri-ing in the settlement of these con- tracts were difinitely settled on the Ist instant by the opinion of the Supremo C iutt of tf|e United States in tbe oaso of Thornton vs Smith & Hartley, from Mo: tgouaery, Ala., wnioh was delivered by (Jutes Justioj Chase, and is r-p.o --duc.ni cutire in this iiiorni 'g’s Umon and American Tlie principles of tfaia decision aro old iu English law, and tho pres.'ut application of them ree gnizes that the authority maintained by milita ry power, which was pat amount iu tha Confederate Sia'es for more than four years, was tbe actual government of the region it occupied. The court stat.-d the following points, and gave au affirm ative answer to each: 1. Can a contract for the payment of Confederate money, made during the late rebellion, between parties residing within the so-called Confederate States, bo enforced at all in the eourta of tho United Slates ? 2. Can evidence be received to prove that a promise expre.sed to be for the payment of dollars was in fact for tbe payment of any other tbau lawful dol iais of (he United Stt ea? 3 Does the eiideuce on the record establish the fact that the note for ten thouaaud dollars was to bo paid, by agreement of the parties, iu Confederate uoes? ‘•I bo principle has fc retofore been enunc ated that none of the stipnlatiooe ot coUracis mado to aid 'K 0 rebellion, can be enforced in tbo courts of this country, but tho Supreme Court now holds uni inasmuch as au ordiuary bur. iucss traosaot’on did not iuvulve any act of hostility to ihe government, it must be judged by its merits; ana that, a* the paitua living within the Confeder ate hues wore compelled to use tbe our reucy in general circulation in their mid t, business traDsaoiious arising from aud baa-, and ou this uccussiiy, deserve le gal recognition and protection.
