Sleep, Baby‘Sleep 1
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Thyfatber watches his sheep :
Thy mother is shaking the dream-land tree,
And down comes a little dream on thee.
Sleep, baby, sleep !
Sleep, baby, sleep !
The large stars are the sheep;
The little stars are the lambs, I guess ;
The gentle moon is the shepherdess.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Sleep, baby, sleep I
Our Saviour loves His sheep ;
He is the Lamb of God on high,

main iiAi.r.. .
The sensation of the week is the disappear-
ance of Oakey Hall, which, so far, is unex-
plained. He was missed; first, Friday, and
it was ascertained that he had not been either
at his home or his office for some days.
Search was made for him, but so far in vain.
Hall is, or was, the most singular man in
America. A, splendid lawyer, he preferred
the plaudits of a dinner table of roystercrs to
any triupmh that could be achieved at the bar.
An astute politician, he might have had any-
thing in the gift of his patty, and was elected
mayor of the city, at or Iillingothcr less im-
portant places, but his love of good fellow-
' ship came in and ‘wrecked him there. Either
from good nature or because he needed the
money, he-allowed the Tweed gang to get,
control of him, and he shared the odium of
the Ring. He was tried for complicity in
the great steal but acquitted, though it killed
him as a politician, andresumed the practice
of law. His bohemianism overcame him
again, and he got a craze for the stage. He
believed he had in him the elements of a
great actor, and in spite of the advice of his
friends wrote a play, and took himself the
principal character in it. It was a flat failure,
and at the end of three weeks he was .for‘ced
to go back to the law. And now he has dis-
appeared, and no one knows where he is.
Some say that the return of Sweeny, would
put him in an awkward position, others say
that and English actress has control of him,
others that lie is a defaulter, and darelnot
abide. an investigation, others that he has
gone crazyan'd is wandering, andothers that
he has ended the drama behind which the
public don’t understand which will come
out in afew days. Oakey Hall will probably
turn up in Europe, and will make himself the
center of a circle there as he was here. He
has not committed suicide for,he enjoyed life
too much. His life has been afailure here,
' and instead of'attempting to amend it, he has
thrown off 'all restraints, and will live as he
pleases somewhere else. This will be the
true sequel to the Hall mystery.
LIFE lNSURANCE.
The life insurance companies are in a state
of mind for the legislature is investigating
them. It is shown that some of the compa-
nies pay their presidents such salaries as $37,
500 per year; medical examiners from $10,000
to $15,000, and the legal advisers (if the
companies have an equally soft thing of it,
the public is exercised about it, and it is not
to be wondered at, especially as the officers
vote themselves these salaries. On the other
hand it should be borne in mind.that a man
capable of keeping proper care of such enor-
mous interests, is worth about all that can be
paid him. The public don’t care so much
about the salaries as they do about the other
work some of the officers have done. For
instance, one president was paid $330,000 for
wrecking another company. The investiga-
tion shows that it has been a regular thing for
two companies to combine, and send out men
to weaken. one of them, that a majority of its
policies iiiiglil. be bought up forlittle or noth-
Ing. Those who refused to be so swindled being
re-insurcd in the surviving company. It was
a very neat, speculation if a company can be
so discredited that its policies could be bought
up at ten cents on the dollar of their value.
The searching inquiry now being made is a
good thing. The shysters in the business
will be made' known, the weak companies
will be weeded out, and those entitled to
confidence will be made all the stronger and
better.
l‘OLl’l‘ICAL.
Leaving out the disappointed democracy
who expected places under Tilden, and the
almost as objectionable republicans who make
politics a business, there is but 0ndr party in
New York, and that is a Hayes party. Never
was there a President so universally popular.
That portion of the democracy who are not
place-hunters, believe that Hayes intends to
settle affairs and that's what they want. The
republicans believe that he means to do it,
and yet maintain the principles of the repub-
lican party, and they are. enthusiastic in ap-
proval. However satisfying this is to good
men, it is wormwood to the professionals.
For if the pot don’t boil the scum stays at
the bottom. If there is no dirt for them to
do of what use are they? Only administra-
tions low enough to require their services can
pay for them, and if they are not paid they
idie. President Hayes has the city in his
hand. His stern adherence to his promises
for civil service reform—His wise selection
of a cabinet, his refusal to be made a tool of
by professional politicians, and last his wis-
dom in sending a non-partisan commission to
investigate the condition of amairs in the
South, before deciding, stamp him as not
only a statesman. but one who honestly de-
siresjto do that which will be the best for the
country. -

The straits that young men of fortune ar
put to for amusement is shoWn in an afiair
that happened in one of the clubs the other
day. One young man made a remark con-
cerning a wish-bone in a turkey. and another
said there Was no such thing in the bird.
Dispute ran high on this important point,and
it was the topic of discussion for days ; finally
a wager was made of a supper for twenty,
and—the wish-bone was found. But it did
not end here. The betters carved each a
turkey,and one criticised the others‘ perform-
ance. Immediately another wager was made
as to their respective skill with the carving-
knifc, and the wager of another dinner was
made to decide it. Committees were ap-
pointed, specifications were made as to the
points to be decided. And sothe two young
gentleman made a carvmg match. It is a
pity that the time was not recorded for the
benefit of the ages. Another club was agita-
ted two days as to the size of an actress’ foot;
and for a time it drove out of their minds all
‘ interest in horses and other women. The
only comfort I get in these things is that’
while they are finding wish-bones and carving
turkeys on wagers they are doing nothing
worse.
Till] PENITEXT ’I‘IIAM P.
The police magistrates have been taken ill
and New York is laughing at them. One
morning a man was discovered bya policeman
trying to break into a store down town. He
was a Dane and came to this country twenty
years ago. Having been enticed into a gain-
bling house and robbed, he became the un-
willing victim of thieves audited lived a life
of crime for tWelve years. He had just been
pardoned out. of the Ohio Penitentiary,
whither he had been sent five years ago for
robbing the first National Bank of Cincinnati.
He had walked all the way from Columbus,
could get nothing to do, but determined not
to go back to his old life, had shammed rob
bery that he might be sent to Sing Sing,whcre
he could live and be honest. Intense sympa-
thy was excited for this penitential thief.
Suits of clothes were given him, money was
sent to him, and influential parties got him a
r .
place in a paint store. ‘ Hansen was about to
walk out in a blaze Of virtuous glory, when
unfortunately he was recognized and detain-
ed. The matter was investigated and it was
found that the bank in Cincinnati had never
been robbed, that he had never been in the
Ohio penitentiary, and had never committed
any particular crimes. In short he was mere-
ly a very impudent tramp wholiad calculated
. nicely as how to make a raise. The moment
it was discovered that he was not a hardened
villain who had got a spasm of repentance,
all interest in him ceased, and lie was bundled
out with as much readiness as he had been
taken in. But beget away with some excel-
lent clotbcs and money enough to set up a
small bar. - '
BUSINESS
is improving, and, everything wears a better
aspect. The city is filled with buyers, and
the merchants are encouraged. Everybody
expects a very good Spring trade, and men
begin to wear their old-time faces. Goods
are going in quantities Sdutli and South-west.
The North-'wcst is better stocked, and will

A FEW Pl..\1N Worms ON SOME RIGHTS AND
- Dil'l‘iss or AME iich CITIZENS.
Nothing strikes a foreigner on arriving in
America, more forcibly than our observance
.of Sunday. It surprises him that apcople,
so eager and successful in the pursuit of
wealth, should suspend all business for a
whole day in every sevpn,—tliat we, who are
so jealous of our liberties and whomakc our
own laws, should make and obey Sunday
laws stricter than those of most other coun-
ti ies.
The matter is worth looking at carefully
and candidly. On _what ground do our Sun-
day laws rest, what place do they hold among
our free institutions? _
National customs and laws are not arbitra-
ry or accidental enactments, bilt are the natu-
ral result of the character and circumstances
of a people. _
Our Sunday laws grew out of the observ—
ance of the Lord’s Day, which the earliest
colonists brought with them to these shores,
and which was deeplyrootedin their religious
convictions. - -
In all the original states ‘of the Union,
among the Quakers of Pennsylvania and the
Hugucnots of Carolina, the Roman Catholics
of Maryland and the Puritans of Massachu-
setts, laws, protecting and regulating the ob—
servance of the first day of the week, were
among the earliest enacted. As new states
were formed, the example was followed, till
now, in every state of the Union, as well as
.by the Federal government, the weekly rest-
‘day is recognized by law.
The Sunday laws, occasionally modified
to meet the changing conditions of society;
and differing in some details in the different
states, are yet alike in their chief features
from Maine to California. They forbid on
Sunday common labor and traffic, public and
noisy amusements, and wlialever is likely to
disturb the quiet and good order of the day.
They makeSunday a non-legal day, so that
ordinary processes of Courts are not served,
and contracts made on Sunday are void; the
Courts and legislatures do not sit; the public
business is suspended. In brief, Sundayis
taken out of the number of ordinary week
days, and, so far as possible, made free from
secular engagements and disturbances. .- In a
number of the states special provision is
made for Israelites and others who observe
Saturday as their Sabbath. .
These laws do not compel the religious absorb-
ance of Sunday. In America, Church and
State are, separate. The civil law does not
enforce religious duty. It is true that the
great majority of Americans hold the first
day of the week as set apart by God, and t
be kept holy to Him. They know well tha
in its religious observance lie its best use and
benefit; and that when religious regard for it
ceases, no human laws can prevent its becom-
ing, as in many parts of Europe, a day of
dissipation to some, 'of common drudgery to
others. But they have neither wish nor
power to impose by law on others their re
ligious opinions and Observances. The lan—
guage of the statutes and the decisions of the
Courts show the jealous care with which
anything like the enforcement of religion has
been avoided in these Sunday laws. “The
statute prohibiting common labor on the Sab-
ibath,” said the Supreme Court of Ohio,
"could not stand for a moment as the law of
this State. if its sole foundation was the
Christian duty of keeping the day holy, and
its sole motive was to enforce the observance
of the :day." The Supreme Court of New
York, in sustaining one of the Sunday laws,
said: “Thc act complained of here compels
no religious observance, and offences against
it are punishable; not as sins against God, but
as injurious toand having a malignant influ-
ence on society. It rests upon the same
foundation as a multitude of other laws upon
our statute book, such as those against gam-
bling, lotteries, keeping disorderly houses,
polygamy, horse-racing, etc.”
The laws of the State and the requirement
of religion may, in some instances, coincide.
Thus each forbids murder, stealing, incest.
But the law forbids- these, not as offences
against God, but as crimes against man. The
law has to do with the relations of men to
each other, and not with-the relations of men
'to God.
The Sunday laws intended to secure to all,
as far as possible, one dag/s rest in seven.
Every man has the natural right to make the
best of himself. For this end he needs and
has a right to the weekly rest-day. It is nec-
essary to his bodily, mental, and moral well-
being. The nightly rest is‘ ordinarily not
sufficient to repair the energies expended dil-
ring the day. There needs an additional rest
to keep body and mind in full vigor. Expe-
rience proves that in the long run. ainan can-
not do as liiucli by working seven days in the
week as by working six dgys. Unresting toil
weakens the body and cramps the mind. It
tends to make a man a more eating and sleep-
ing and working animal. Beside. a man has
a social nature and has a right to enjoy it.
Biit working seven days in the week leaves
him usually little or no time to enjoy or care
for his family. The weekly rest-day comes
in as the working-man’s friend. It lifts the
load off his back, and wipes the sweat from
his brow. It giv‘cs him leisure to read and.
think, to enjoy his home, to care for his faili—
ily. It makes him for the time his own mas-
ter, and helps him to feel his dignity as a
man, a husband, :1 father. The weekly rest-
day is therefore a natural right, as much as
the right to enjoy property or health or repu-
tation. '
Now it is the object of government to se-
cure to every man his natural rights, so far
as is consistent with the rights of others.
The strong arm of the State alone can protect
the rest-day of the icorhing-man from the greed,
of gain, the emotions of capital, the selfish'
competitions of his fellows. So the law forbids
all labor and traffic on ontylay of the week—
except for necessity or mercy—that all may
stand on the same footing, and the poor and
the rich, the employer and the employed,
alike have the chance to rest. So connected
are the different forms of industry, that the
allowance of one on Sunda would involve
the indulgence of others. f the factory is
closed, so should the small work-shop be. If
the tailor-shop, or the shoe-store is closed,
why not the barber—shops and cigar-stores?
Have the proprietors of these any more right
to follow their business on Sunday than oth-
ers? Have not their employees the same
right to rest that others have? Besides, the
man who carries on his own business Oil Sun-
day virtually compels his neighbors in the
same business to do so. \Vlien all rest one
day in the week, the week’s wages are the
same for the six days’ work as they would
otherwise be for the seven days’ work. “The
liberty of rest for each man depends on the
law of rest for all.”
The Sunday laws protect the right of undis—
turbed worship. Man has a spiritual nature.
He is capable of spiritual cnjoyuicnt and im-
provement. By it he is connected with God.
He is prompted to worship God. This rigllt
the State must regard and protect. \Vhile it
does not compel any to worship nor enforce
religion, it secures from disturbance those
who choose to worship and defends the reli-
gious Observances of the people from wanton
desecration. The great majority of tlic peo-
ple profess Christianity, and keep holy the
Lord’s Day. The law recognizes this fact,
and accordingly protects the observance of
the first day of the 'week. Said the Supreme
Court, of New York, in the opinion already
cited, “The Christian Sabbath, as one of the
institutions of religion,may be protected from
dcsccratiou by such laws as the legislature,
in their wisdom, may deem necessary to se-
cure to the community the privilege of undis-
turbed worship, and t0 the day itself that
outward respect and observance which may
be declned essential to the peace and good
order of society, and to“ preserve religion and
its ordinances from open reviling and con-
tempt, and this not as duty to God, but 'as a
duty to society and to the State.”
The provisions made in sonic of the states
for those who keep Saturday as the Sabbath,
are necessarily limited and exceptional, Inns.
much as the rights of the few must be rc—
stricted by the competing rights of the many.
0n the weekly rest‘rlng/ eel-y largely depends
the stability of our free and popular govern-
ment. For the weekly rest-day is a chief
means of promoting the intelligence and vir-
tue of the people. In buildings of large solid
stones, like the great pyramids, stability may
be secured by the pressure of super-incum-
bent \vcight. In a building of brick the
weight from above in not enough—there is
need of the cement flint shall find each brick
and keep it in Its place. In inonarchical gov-
ernments, men-arc kept in order and institu-
tions are maintained by the strong arm of the
governing power. In proportion sea-govern.-
, of self-government is virtue.
(in abridge their equal restrictions.
ment is free and in the hands of. the people,.
each citizen 'must govern himself. Now in
order to this self-government there must be
intelligence and virtue. So 'important- to a
free government is the intelligence , of the
people that in America all are taxed to supply
free education, and in some statesparents are
compelled to send their children to school.
The State cannot afford to have' its children
grow up ignorant. But side by side with the
free schools, as an educational agency,
stands the weekly' rest-day, with its home
opportunities, its Churches, its Sabbath-
schools. It gives man time to read think,
and something to think about.
Biit intelligence is not enough. Eighty
out of every hundred criminals arrested in
this country can read and write. ' Education
alone increases facilities for crime and even
_implies incentives to it. The main element
Franklin said :
“What can laws do without morals I” Said‘
Washington, “Virtue or morality is a neces-
sary spring of popular government.” And
he adds: “Reason and experience both forbid
us to expect that national morality can prevail
in exclusion of religious principle.” There
is need of the fear of God to educate the pub-
lic conscience. to make men respect others’
rights and reverence law. In aword religion
alone can train men to be citizens of a free
and popular government. But what would
become of the religion of the people without
the weekly rest-day? The great Roman Cath—
olic statesman of F cc, Montalembert, well
puts the argument s: “Witho uta Sabbath,
no worship ; without worship, no religion."
Aiid without religion, no permanent freedom.
On such grounds as these the Sunday laws
have uniformily been sustained by the highest
courts as in harmony with the principles of
our government. They trespass on no just
rights but are their best defence. They do
not restrain one’s personal freedom, except so
far as to secure the rights of others. The
Sunday laws do not interfere with the just
rights of conscience, for they do not compel
any one to do anything against his conscience
nor do they forbid his doing what his, con-
science dictatcs providedhe does not trespass
on others. Those whose religious convictions
do not require the suspension of business on
Sunday, cannot claim exemption from the re-
straints of law which are necessary to pro-
tect the rest and the worship of other. The
Mohammedan or Mormon cannot claim ex-
emption from the statutes of polygamy,
though his conscience may not forbid, but
rather enjoin the marrying of more than one
wife. Liberty of conscience may not inter-'
fere with the public welfare.
The American Sunday laws are not obso-
lete traditions, left as dead letter on the stat-
ute books. They are a vital part of our yss-
tem of free qublicad institutious, which is
the growth of two centuries’ experience in
the problem of adjusting the mutual rights
of members of civil society so as to secure
the largest measure of personal liberty coh-
sistent with the general good. With the
growth of our country in population and
wealth, the observance of Sunday becomes
more and more essential to the well-being of
citizen and of the State. The accumulation
of capital, the consolidation of our industries
into great corporations, the competitions of
trade, the growth of luxury, the question of
labor and wages, the infusion of many hete-
rogeneous elements into the mass of our pop-
ulation, the hasty bestowal of suffrage upon
large numbers of- persons with crude notions
of liberty and untrained to self government
—such considerations as these show how im~
perativc is Ille sanitary, economic and moral
necessity of the weekly rest-day, and of effi-
cient laws to protect it.
But the lawsin this country depend largely
for their "efficiency upon public sentiment. It
well becomes every American citizen, wheth-
cr native 01' foreign-born, and whatever his
religious creed, conscientiously to obey the
Sunday laws himself and to give hearty sup
port to their enforcement. Let the just limi-
tations of these laws be respected. Let them
not be needlessly invoked to abate evils whichr
may be met by other means. On the other
hand, let them not be wantonly violated with
impunity. Let the selfish interests of no in-
dividual or class he permittcd'to trample on
In Germany, watzcrland, and other parts
of Europe, the question of Sunday-rest and
its maintenance by law is engaging earnest
attention. Workingmen are asking :for its
relief from the longenforced necessity of
uninterrupted toil in factories, on railways,
etc. America and Great Britain are appealed
to. for evidence of its material and .moral
economy. Our system of Sunday'legislation
is being studied with care. For the sake of
our fellow men in other lands as well as for
our own sakes should we vigilantly maintain
it. »
Under the healthful influence of the week-
ly rest-day and by the blessing of Him who
laid its foundations in the needs of man and
of Society, may the new century of 'our na-
tion’s life witness the progress of the people,
not only in material prosperity, but in'that
reverence for law and respect for others’
rights which are the basis and the pledge of
true Liberty. ‘

silks and laces alone; nor is the quick brain
which tlirobs under your smooth brow,'and
flashes from your dark eyes, to be fed by re.

The day may come (it comes to all sooner or

your heart must bear its burden as well as

Men gl'0w strangely weak when they doubt
themselves. N ow is the time. You know

you believe in him—-tliat on this trust you
rest for your little ones and yourself. Keep
his heart warm with confidence and approval.
Tell him boldly that witll him at the helm,
your domestic happiness cannot be wrecked.
Keep his thoughts at home. . Don’t let him
look too far out. at sea—fearing storms and
breakers. More than one man has been
saved, helped, rescued, by his wife’s unfailing
faith. ‘ I cannot be less than she thinks'mc,’
he says ; and, new-shod, he begins the battle
once more. Here is your mission, my sister

teasing world from pricking your husband’s

When you and. I are asleep, my love,
Under the cavern stone ;
Who will there be left to weep, my love,
Of all that we have known?
But the lark will sing as clear and free,
As he springs from his nest in the alder-tree,
And the robin carol heart’s desire
Above us in the red-rose brier.
Though your voice is low and weak, my dear,
There is love-light in your eye!
Though the roses fade from your check, my

Love’s roses never die!
But it’s oh for the long and lasting sleep
Where the wild-wood honeysuckles creep!
Under the violets lie,
And let the weary world go by.

FALLAClnsor OEFICE Slimline—T0 illus-
trate the fallacy which exists among many
office-seekers as to the ease in which oflices
can be obtained, an incident will be in point.
A week ago a young man from the land of
steady habits—otherwise Connecticut—might
have been seen, carpet-bag in hand, wendiug
his way down the avenue from the depot. On
being asked by an old acquaintance why he
visited Washington, he replied :——-“Well you
see, I used to know Secretary -——-— ten years
ago ; I was ‘his office-boy; and I have come
to have him get me an ofiice.” “And doyou
think you will succeed i” was the next ques-
tion. “Succeed! of course I’ll succeed. Why
I know Secretary —— well.” The same
young man was yesterday seen wending his
way back to the depot, a disgusted individ-
ual. His friend meeting him again, inquired
how he had succeeded. “Didn’t succeed at
all," was the reply ; “Secretary —— says he
can hold out no hope, and so I’m going home
to work at my trade. He is a sensible young
man, but would have been more so if he had
er.— Washington Sta-r.
WHAT A CRIMINAL Sara—A few weeks
ago, after a man named Marvin had been
tried in Portland and the judge was about to
sentence him to six years imprisorhnent for
forgery-he had been in prison twelve years,
before—he stood up and made this touching
address:
“I have been in crime more or less ever
since I became twenty-one years of age;' I
have had no real home since I was seven
years of age. My father was a dissipated
man although I had a good mother and a
good sister. Had I taken their advice, I
should not have been here today.
These young men and boys here may laugh
as much as they are a mind to; but I can
tell some of them I now see around me that
if they do not change their ways, they will
sooner or later, occupy this place where I
now am. My life has been one of gambling
thieving and forging. It seems to me that
every punishment I got has made me worse.
I feel a sort of revengeful spirit against my
fellow men. I have a good army record and
thing to mention.
I make this statement to warn these young
men in court and within the hearing of my
voice, that unless they stop their downward
course, they are gomg to land where I am
going now. My mother has gone to her
long home, and I have no friends except my
sister, and she spent her last dollar while I
was in prison. (Here Marvin burst into
tears.)
Woman Always the Same.
“Hannah,” pleaded a weak voice, “don’t
swear agin me." '
“Oh, won’t I tho’, you brute," respondeda
shrill female “tongue ; “I’ll learn you better’n
to come a brusin’ about home a’ two in the
mornin’."
"But I didn’t do nothing’.”
“That’s it; you never do nothin’ ; you
sling your time away a-foolin’ about the
streets and wearin’ your pants off on barrels
and goods boxes waitin’ for somethin’ tovturn
up, instead of gettin’ around and turnin’
somethin’ np,while I’m kept at home awash-
in’ and a mendin’ and a nursin’ Tommy, an’
be a teethin’."
“Is poor little Tommy teetliin
“Three :1 comin’ below and two above.”
“Poor little Tommy I”
“Don’t cry, John."
“But I can’t help it, Hannah. Five little
white teeth a comin’, and I won't be there
when they come.” ‘ -
“Won’t be there, John ?”
“No, Hannah ; you’ve had me switched
up for disturbin’ the peace, and that is thirty
days in the ’boose.” - .
“Don’t take on so, John. I’ll go to the
’boose with you and take Tommy along.”
“Say you won’t swear agin me, Hannah.”
“I won’t John.”
“Come to my arms old gal ! I’ll buy you
anew calico dress, and we’ll go to the fire:
works on the Fourth of July. Tommy shall
have a rubber ring and a bottle of sirup, and
you’ll—come to my arms, Hannah.”
Here the husband drew the little woman
over the railing and frantically kissed her ;
while Tommy set up a jubilee of crying ;
and soon after John was discharged “for
want of evidence.”-—-b’t. Joseph (1110.) Ga-
