The observance of the Sabbath claims at
all times the attention not only OF the lovers
OF ofreliglon, but of the friends of good order,
and public virtue. We are not disposed to
think that it is falling into neglect, but there
is certainly lamentable apathy among a.
vowed christians in regard to the best mode
OF employing the day, as we'll as visible
PROCLAMATION of it by the irreigious. The a.
buse OF season of rest by deyoting it to
pleasure, and the contempt thrown upon it
by those who spend the first day of the week
IN open sloth or in secret business, merit a
seyerer reproof than can be administered
through the columns OF weekly paper.
We would suggest few hints to those who
profess to regard the Sabbath as holy time,
yet are far from spending it in "the beauty

CHRISTIAN in giving an hour to sleep ON SUM-
uay morning, which he would have spent in
ACTIVE preparation Tor his business, if 1t had
peen the morning of week day. No one
WIN pretend that he has right to make ex-
uaofdlnary exertions, and incur unusual fa-
usne on Saturday, because he can lie in bed
~ long as he pleases the next morning. Yet
I.seems to be the opinion of very many per-
sol's, that they have this right, or what is still
worse, that they are at liberty to indulge
themselves in sleep on Sabbath mornings,
"nether they have, or have not been unusu-
any occupied on the preceding day. The
nhractice IN many religious families, both in
os ose city and country, is, to rise an hour and
o.u o.seh TWO hours later on Sunday than any
,h;N amer morning. We need not stop to argue
h. nus Pelnt with religsus men; the habit has
