THE SABBATB. I
The Sabbath is indeed a day of rest
to our wearied souls. It is l_ike,bulm to
Chflsllall hearts—-and to their souls it is’
as dew sent to refresh the dying plant.
How holy and pure every thing appears
on a Sabbath moruintr. The plants seem
N to spring up with renewed vigor-—the
music of the birds seems sweater, and
the babbling brook, the murmuring riv-
ulet, andall nature appears to hail the
Sabbath with joy. And then-the sweet
chime of the Church bells is heard, so
their music floats softly on the ‘air, bid-
ding all to come and hear those precious
truths of the Word of God. When God
had created the world, He rested on the
Sabbath day, and hallowed‘ it. o It was
-made for us to keep holy, and we ‘are
cmnmanded not to profane theiday that
God has made so sacred. 'I‘o»-me, the
air of the Sabbath seems purer than that
of any other day. And how delightful,
to meet in the holy place, that all Chris-
tians Iove! But many, go there for u
very different purpose, than to listen to
the Word of God ; they go to gratify a‘
taste for dress, and to discuss‘ the latest
fashions. How much better to go with
alwish to love Christ, and be an humble
follower of His cross ! 'l‘he Sabbath
was given for usvto learn to love and
prepare for that eternal rest, where rich
and poor shall be nnited,,snd_thous|nds
of angels sing sweet, melodious -Ill‘:
around the throne of liodin Heaven."

could have a great many more comforts.
' -than we are blessed with at present.”
»’ .9! We have every thing that we could
,wish, for to make us contented, and I’m

what we can well afford” Mrs. Dana re-
plied. ‘ '
" Yes, we have‘ enough to" eat, and
‘ clothes to wear, but we can't buy lots of
good furniture, and have apiano, like
Squire Bolton. Darn it, I want to be

' " Well,"I k::W thtffn; bute :l’tIe:, who
could be contented with such a wife as
he‘ has? She's either crazy half the
time. or else—-—” ' .
“ Hush !” cried Mrs. Dana, with a re-
proachful look ' " remember if she have
faults. so have, we all.'’ ,
" But'w‘hat_ I meant, Nelly, is, thatif

1 " And» yet you want to leave a wife
youhthiuk so hig‘hlly]of,l"' Mrs. Dana said,
wit a reproac u oo . ' V
" But don't you see that it is for your
comfort and benefit in the end. You
know, Nelly, that nothing in the world
"would induce me to quit you, unless it
was the hope of making a fortune in a
short time; I wouldn't be gone longer
than a year, and if I liked the country,
and I thought you would be contented
there. Pd send for you.” V .
The young wife strove hard to retain
her composure, as she asked : ‘
“And what will you do with the farm
while ‘gone ?” ' M
" I will get my youngest brother to
come and IIVC here and carry iton. You
shall he left in charge, Nelly, with pow-
er so do as you please." .,
“ Give tne a week to think of it,” the
wife replied; at the end of that time, I’ll
make up my mind whether to consent to
your going or not.”
Mr. Dana was too well pleased to ob-
tain even this concessiott, to argue any
' furtherthat day, and after bidding. his
wife read the accounts in the nevvspapey
containing the latest news from Califor-
nia, he started off to his work. _ .
Mt’. Dana owned a farm of about one
huifdréd acres near tltetown of Windsor,
Vermont. He Was, a ‘young man, and
ti person of considerable energy, and had
d'u‘r'mg his nifnortty, saved a small sum
' of money, which he had safely deposited
in the savings bank, until such time as
hesliould want to use it.
After’he became of age, he had added
‘to his capital, and when he, thought
that he should ' Iike,Jane Perkins for
awife, and proposed to her, and was ac-
cepted, he bought the farm which we
and was doing as
was as any young further in the neigh-
borhood. '
He had been married two years when
the gold fever of 1848 and ’49 broke out,‘-
sweeping off thousands of our most in-
dustrious mechanics and farmers. and
leaving manya hcarthstone desolate and
many a wife‘ to month an absent. hus-
band.
‘How few have returned with their an-
ticipations , fulfilled? Thousands who
left the New England States, expecting
to win a competency in a short time,
have been too glad to work their pas-
sage back in some slow sailing tub,while
others,.too proud to return empty-hand-
ed, have toiled on, barely gaining a live-
lihood, and now rest. from their cares
and troubles, by the banks of some river,
with nothing but a rude board" to mark
their grave. '
After Mr. Dunn left his wife, she wash-
ed her dishes and put them away, and
then sat down to read the glowing ac-
counts of the gold discoveries. The more
she read, the more fascinating did she
become, until she at last came to the
conclusion that if she was a man she
should be tempted to go and try the luck.
Twice during the lotenoon did she pe-
ruse the paper, and each time her reso-
lution of not consenting to her husband's
departure grew weaker, until she finally
made up her mind, if he asked her con-
sent again, she would give it.
Mrs. Dana was a woman of consider-
able mind Every since she was a child
she had been ‘obliged to labor, and by her
contact with the world she had acquired
a knowledge of business, which did not,
however, impair or detract, from the nat-
ural modesty of a good.womau’s heart or
mind.
.A pveek had not passed before the hus-
baudlugaiu alluded to the subject upper-
most'in his mind. A company was about
tole ve Windsor, and many of the young
meu,in the town were enrolling their
nam§s.. Mr. Dana thought it was a
-good chance for. him,,as he would have
acquaintances to lend him a helping
hauulin case he was taken sick. His
wife thought the same thing, and de-
ligltled her husband by giving her con-
sen:.to his going. , ,.

They wrote to engage steerage berths.-
and received an answer that the steamer
would sail on such a day; and that they
must be proniptl_v~ on‘ the spot. This
news caused the‘ party to hurry their ar

were to start. Mr. Dana requested his
wife to accompany him to a lawyer's.

, His wife thought at the time that
there ntightlbe a failure in his schemes ;
_but"_she was hopeful, and would not say
a,nf:thing_ to dash hisibright anticipations.
A The day of putting, came, and with it
tears and mournful looks; but it wa‘,s not

the loneliness of her condition,

He would liie in his tent, and wish

found that he was the master of a capi-

frightful, to contemplate. - ‘

and secured a passage for home.
It was a cold blustering day in the
middle,of winter when Mr. Dana reach-
ed Windsor. He pnlled his cap over
his eyes to prevent being recognized, and
then started on foot_ for his home. He
had heard from his wife but once he
had left, and he hardly dared to hope
that she was well. He quickened his
pace, and came’ in sight of the house in
which he had spent so many happy
hours. lie glanced over his farm, and
cared for. The stone walls were in good
order, the horns looked neat and well-
repaired, and just as he was thinking
that his wife and brother had done re-
markably well, the train on which he
had ridden from Boston whizzed past.

in an anguish at the sight. His beauti-

it was all owing to his‘ wild goose chase
for a fortune. His wife could not be ex-
pected to know how-to attend to such
things, and he had no doubt but what
the railroad company had swindled her.
He approached the house and knocked
timidly at the-door. It was opened, and
there stood his wife, as handsame as ev-
er, but she looked at him with surprise.
He had forgotten that he had not shaved
since he left her. 3
