Now, the greet mass of men i every
community are tollers. Ills ts bene-
dlotlon of Ood upon ihs bumn race,
therefore, that there ehouh be one
day out of seven of absolute kcatlon.
Then there are persons so coupled
during the week that they eaoficarcely
tell the difference between fit days.
They have no tlms for moral>r social
development, and they need me day
In seven—they need a change There
are some persons to whom reding the
Bible sr praying would be at aston-
Inblng change from the buslnss of the
week, but there are others towbom a
good round of laugbier woulcbe more
beneficial than to read pious treatises Caatar they went to Jerusalem to be
Mxxtcrv December 27, 1880.—Our
Christmas feetWwnfHPoaadas* ended'
with Christmas liv'e. Then all devout
Mexicans went to the midnight mass,
and the 25th, which foreigners regard
as the day to be commemorated, was
celebrated by the different foreign
tribes In Mexico according to the cus
toms of their respective countries.
The Posadas were unusually animated
this year. As those who have never
visited Mexico may not comprehend
the word, allow me to give a short
description of these seml-rsllglous
festivals. The Idea la to represent the
nine d^ys* Journey of tbs Virgin Mary
and St. Joaepb, when by order of
on the Bible. That which lakes up
man morally, that which maM a man
blossom In the things fartbeetremoved
ftom bis animalhood, that Isths way
for him to keep Buaday. Above all,
the Sabbath day should bars In It a
gentle excitation of the intdleot, of
moral feeling, for these are theblghest
elements In man, the Imperial reason,
the ali-seelng side of human mture.—
The Sabbath, as to the metlode of
keeping It, must adapt ttsaff to the
wants of humanity—not to tbs habits
of antiquity, not to the theories of
this or that Church, bnt acssrdlng to
the progreas of tba age. There ts no
one Sabbath, bnt the Babba* Is one
day in seven. In which th# nobler and
purer manhood Is to be developed. It
must be different In the eoonWy from
whet It Is In tbs dty, In tba patore of
things; therefore, one mao will be
breaking another men's Sabbath. Tbs
Sabbath Is every men’s day. It Is not
the priest’s day, or the rb arches' day ;
it Is yonr day aad my dar, and every
man baa U^s light to keep It In tbe
manner which be deems moat benefi
cial to himself. In tbe dty, hotels that
hid fair to supersede the family must
feed their crowds. No way has bean
Invented as yet to satisfy customers
with food cooked on Saturday after
noon. Parades, theatres, races sad
•very form of amusement are viola
tions of tba Sabbath day, because they
are Injurions oo the whole to tbe
minds of the common people. They
do not do good, and they do do barm
Tba day aboard b*

tbe route but were forced to seek shel

Posadas are held for nine nights, us
ually In the house of tbe eldest rep
resentative of a family. - A landscape,
representing a lonely road through a
billy country, made of mimic rocks,
trees, most and aand, la arranged on
a litter, wax figures of tbe Virgin on
a mule, St Joseph, staff In band, walk
log beside her, and nn angel guiding
them being placed on It, and this Is
borne by four children. In rich fam
ilia* those who carry the Ikter aje
dressed aa angels, have wings ofgaase,
whits satin dresses and sHppwrs, aad

ral law, and when be doee, that natu
ral law Is of aa binding force as If It
bad been thundered from Bloat. If It
cm be shown that the Bnbbaih day Is
lodleDcosabl* for tbs highest develop-
raenAf humanity you want no other
foundation than ibis that Ood has
made mao ao that oae day lo seven le
IndtHpeossbls for his highest culture ;
that Is eoough, sod If you say one day
In eight, or one day In tee. It would not
mattar ; but I think one day In seven
may be said to b# beneficial aa tbs re
sult of universal human experience,
and the people that keep one dey lo
seven In s certain manner srs better
off than tf they did not, and after that
one point Is setl'.ed, Moses may testify
one way or tbs other. Just as he
please*; we have got God's decree.—
Now, Ood declared that tbe Sabbath
was mads for mao;It la bhssrvaot; mnn
U tbs.master. Now, the Jews held
that the seventh day was tbs Sabbath,
and It was for them; tbe Christians
kept both days, but gradually lo tbs
lapse of nges they have dropped tbe
Jewish Sabbath. I am constantly hav
ing tracts sent to me with the most la
borious texture proof that tbe seventh
day Is the Sabbath, Instead of the first
Suppose It waa f It la tbe most foolish
of all miserable disputes as to which Is
tbe particular day ; ao that we keep
one lo seven ws need not be concerned.
There must be days alternating with
toil to produce moral and social effect
This day then is a day of rent That
which can be aet apart as the best one,
throughout Christendom tbe first
day of the week ; It .Is tbe legal day
and It should be tbs universal day,
because what we want in tbe day in a
day of rest, when there shall be a sur
cease of all accustomed toil and which
shall give to men a day for meditation
and culture; so If men took different
days there could be no cessation of
business. Therefore It is desirable
that all men should observe the same
day. I bad Just as lief go back to the
Jewish Sabbath ; all we want Is that
there shall be one day lo tbe seven,
and If the Jewe outnumbered the
Chrietlane, I would nay let us have
their day. As they do not, but are
vaetly in the minority, X would affec
tionately urge upon them the advan
tage cf adopting oar day. The day,
then, le flret of ell for bodily rent. Well,
you don't eevd it; there are thousands
of men that sleep too much, eat too
much, sit still too much, don’t get tired
enough, that bids tbslr faces behind
fur that the north wind cannot find
them out; they are self-indulgent
sluggards. What kind of rest do they
need f But that Is not the case with
what are called the uafortunate class-
ee, the poor; for poverty le a lean
wife for a man to take, hot It in one of
tbe best ones. Blessed are they that

because the people need the day for

A republic founded oo an latclllgent
“Alas t Mary, tbe mother of tbe Mes

At the meoilon of her name the doors

The dectlns lo the cultivation of cot
ton lo India la a matter which must
naturally tak*> place, since neither the
soil nor tbe climate Is as favorable as
in this and soma other countries, sod
consequently It does not pay to pro
duce It In competition with the United
Btatee, Egypt sod Brasil. Tbs cultl-
ration of cotton Id India on a large
seals was promoted by the British Gov
ernment so as to obtain a supply Inde
pendent of tbs United States, when,
owing to our civil war, tbla country
could not supply tbs raw material re
quired by the British msnu'seturers.
With the return of full crops lo thle
country, tbs British Government has
neglected Its cotton fields lo India, and
tbe 3|enlt It that tbe acreage has de
creased from 11,547,809 in 1875 to 8,876,-
627 In 1878, a decline of 23 per cent, lo
three years, but this Is not tbs worst
of It. Tbe yield per acre has fallen
from 111 pounds to about 95 pounds,
sod the prloe Is 15 per cent, lower, so
that there can be little. If any, profit in
tbs business. It would seem that
without government old the growth of
cotton in India must be abandoned ;
and, as any agricultural product which
has to be subsidised Is not worth Its
cost, In the long run, cotton growing
In India is doomed.

Marriage.
Sorerers at our sex have said that
‘any mao ran succeed lo marrylog any
woman;" sod really, when one look*
around oo tbe sort of sseo some wo
men do condescend to marry, oa# Is
tempted to hsllsvs this, says the 1
tbor of “John Halifax." Persistency,
patience, and courage are such rare
qualities that teey almost deserve to

that any true man, truly loving, should
stop to be loved lo that sort of way-

degradation of all, “till she cao Inquire
Into his income, and make good set
tiements." Of course, exceptions wtl
occur. Boms men will make offers—
especially to conies—before tbs gir

which I once heard expressed, or Im
plied, by so old lady, looking with a
smile at her old husband, sod turning
to a newlyafflanced granddaughter.
