Tin 1 t.a anti the anlibmli. The report of the work done by the New York Sabbath Committee dur ing the lust two years-tlie seven teenth and eighteenth of its existence usa corporate body—has just been issued, it states that “While recog nizing the religious uses and obliga tions of the Sabbath, the Committee view it ehietly'us u civil institution, and seek to defend against encroach ment the light of nil to enjoy Its rest,” Whether the first day of the week shall be used by each man to bring him nearer to his God, or, if that be granted, how it shall lie used for this purpose, is a question for each mini to decide for himself. The law as suredly has no right to meddle in this more than in any other religious ob servance or belief. It cannit force the atheist or the Jew to worship in a Christian church; but it certainly can forbid any trading, amusement, or disturbance which would hinder the majority who choose so to wor ship. So far the Committee Hud the law and the Church in unison. Bin as for the question of what is the proper observapoe of the day from a religious point of view, that is a matter in which the Church is divid ed against itself, and very probably may require one or two generations finally to agree upon. The Puritan and Scotcn-Irish element in this country has been so powerful as largely’ to influence the habits of the whole Christian community, even of those who widely differed with them in creed. It was the Presbyterian Sabbath that the majority of us knew in our youth, with most of the re strictions and obligations imposed by Moses and all of those added by Covenanting divines. It is this Sab bath which is still so dear and neces sary to many godly people, who look upon any laxity in its ascetic restraint as u direct assault of Satan upon the great Christian bulwark. It is only within the last thirty years that a protest has been made by an equally large body of the Christian Church against this ascetic restriction. It is not, they contend, the Jewish Sab bath, gloomy and harsh, that, we re ceived from the Apostles, but Sunday, the Lord’s day, a day of rest and happiness and joyful devotion. Now, neither fhis Committee nor any other public body has any right to manipulate the law so as to force either ofthese opinions or practices upon the public. Each man can go back to the practice of the Fathers and compare Justin and Origen and Etisebjus at his leisure, and decide whether ho will observe the bare sol emn Scotch Sabbath or the tranquil bright Lord's Day of other churches. But the only fact which can lie legal ly recognized is the justice, the inex orable necessity, both with regard to individuals and the community, of the observance of one day in seven for rest, and the still higher advan tage which results from settingaside that day as sacred to our religions needs, whatever they may lie. As u mere matter of expediency it is as ob ligatory on the State to enforce this rule as to limit, the hours of daily la bor, or the age ut which children shall be employed, or any other point bearing on the actual material well being of a nation. It is startling to consider to how large a majority of the citizens of t his county the idea of a ruling Power is suggested only by the public observ ance of Sunday. To this great ma jority, who do not .go to church, who never open the sacred book which tells of Him, the weekly absolute ces sation of trade, and the reverent pub lic acknowledgment that there is a God to be worshiped, is a steady and powerful, though silent sermon. The mere habit of turning on one day from hard work to ihe clean house, the bettor dinner, the good clothes, do much to remind a man that, he is a man, and not a beast of burden. The mere free from the encroach ments of trade, or the temptations of crime and liquor, the day can be made, the more powerful of necessity will be its direct moral force. This the law can do. It remains for Chris thins to make it not only a day of rest for the laborer, bin of elevating rest, to open the way for him, as far as possible, to Nature, with her eter nal teachings, mid to religion. The law by recognizing the sacredness of the day, acknowledges the inexora ble necessity in every ; man’s nature to look up from time to time to seek the (lower higher than himself and it is upon Ibis necessity of human nature, rather than upon Mosaic or Puritan or any church rules, that t.he Sabbath will And its impregnable basis and security. —A'. Y. Tribune. ■• ♦ * A miilcl Eiiffll-li Farm. A few days ago Mr. Meehi, the owner and manager of a model farm in England took his friends to sec it, and perhaps some of his ideas would interest our agricultural readers, Mr. Mecbl bought his farm of 175 acres, 32 years ago, for $5 an acre, it being cold, heavy clay' land, not drained, and fenced in small Helds. He took off all the fences and hedges, thoroughly drained it, and cultivated it, with a steam plow, ploughing it to the depth of 18 Inches. He does not believe in pasturing; and cultivates every acre, putting tiZ acres in wheat, la in barley, C in oats, 19j in peas for the London market, about lz in roots and 30 in grass. Me keep* ‘zz cattle, about 200 sheep and fi work horses, all of which are kept up and fed tbo year around. He raises 48 bushels or wheat to the acre, sometimes in suc cessive years on the same soil, but pursuesan irregular rotation. After reckoning out the interest on the in vestment, he has a net income from the-tarm of $2,250, or 15 per cent, net on the investment. Mr. Mechi is a retired merchant of great wealth, who has devoted the best years of his life to the solving of scientific problems in agriculture. Together with Messrs. Lawes & Gil bert he has elevated English agri culture above that of all other na tions. Yet in mere net profits per acre, Mr. Moore, of Augusta, Ga.,lms excelled him, Mr. Moore has been a farmer about the same length of time. He has never raised a pound of cotton or corn, and his sole crop has been that one, which nearly all the farm laborers of the South try to kill every day, but which they claim “won't grow,’’ viz. : grass.
