Sometime during the last .wart with Great lBritain, the lRegiment of Iilauintry was stat.ioned near 13ston. Old Doctor Id (peace to his ashes) was surgeon to. the Reginernt. The Doctor was an old gentleman of very precise and formal manners, who stood a great deal upon his dignity of deportment, and was in his own esti mnuation, one of the literati of the Army. -Nevertheless he was fond of a joke -provided always, it was not perpe trated at his own expense. It is wel I known, in the "old school, that at the commencement of the war,' a number of citizens was appointed olivers in the Army who were more noted for their chivalry than for the corr'ectriess of'- the~ir orthography -- The D~octo'r too'k little pajto'cd6.A eeal his con'ttempt ftir the "ne set."'

It is seldom in our pdwer to prevent our readers with anl article so able and con vineimg as to the physical advantage Of the Sabbath, as is the following. ''he Sabbath, (says the North British Review f romt which we. extract it,) is god's gracious present to a working word laud for wearied minds and bodies it is the grand restorative:" "The Creator has given us a natural restorative-sleep; and a moral restora: tive-Sabbath-keeping; and it is rain to dispense with either. Under the presu're of high excitement, individuals have passed weeks together with little sleep, or none; but when the process is long continued.. the over. driven' powers rebel, and fever, delirium, and death comes on. Nor can this natu. ral amonat he systematically curtailed without corresponding mischief. The Sabbath does not arrive like sleep. The day of rest does not steal over us Ike the hour of slumber. It does not entrance us almost whether we will or not; but, addressing us as intelligent beings, our Creator assures us that we need it, and bids us notice its return, and court its renovatiou. And if, go. ing in the face of the Creator's kindness, we tbrce our selves to work all days alike, it is not long till we pay the for feit. The mental worker -the man of business or the man of letters-finds his ideas coming torbid and slow ; the equipoise of his faculties is upset; be grows moody, fitful, and capricious; and with his n.ental elasticity broken, should any disaster occur, he subsides into habitual melancholy, or in': elft destruction speeds his guilty exit from a gloomy world. And the manual worker,-the artisan, the engineer. toiling on from day to day, and wek to week, the bright intuition of his eye gets. blunted. and, forgetfal tof their cunning, his fingers no longer perform their feats of twinkling'agility, nor by a plastick and tuneful touch mould dead matter, or wield mechanic power; but mingling his lifi's blood in his dai lyI drudgery, his locks are prematurely ,grey, hid genial humor 'sour, and sla ving till he. has .ecome a morose or reek less m anforThg esr for stand indebted t opium or a'lcohol:.-'-e c 'lo au mndustrious population, so 4sqsent tizal is the perio~iic rest, that when the attempt was made in F'rance to abolish .' the weekly Sabbath. it was found nee essary to issue a decree suspending a labor une day in every ten.

W hen a steamer on the Tham es ble w up, a few months ago thue firemen anid stokers laid the blames on their broken Sabbath ; which stupifi- . ed aed embitered them-made themi blunder at their work, and heedless what havoce such hIunders might ereate. And we have been informed that wheni the engines of an extensive steam pack et company, in the south of England. werei getting constantly damaged, the mischir f was instantly repaired by giving the men what the bounty of thlei~r Creator had given them long before, the rest of each seventh day. And what is so essential to industrial etli ciency is no less indispensirle to the laborer's health and longevity." SRead The Bible.
