Picfg, n0raity. Gc.--Rcligion, to all class
cs of the community, is essential to the COM
fort and happiness of all, but it must be sup
ported from its intrinsic worth-from its in
herent and positive advantages. and not from
speculation or worldly profit. We are con
stantIy at war with those who make religion
trade. On Saturday man was placed at
the Bar to receive sentence for cheating an
other out Of 500, by forging and altering
number on 4 lottery ticket. He was sahc'
tilted looking man; and the Recorder stated,
that several highly respectable residents mao
pctitioned the court in his behalf, insisting
that he was not proper subject tor diS-
graceful punishment inasmnch as ne was
piuus man, steady in his devotions, and con
stantly attending prayer meeting. Inc
court very properly differed with the petl-
TONERS, and considered from that very cause
his punishment should be made the HEAVIER
as an example to those who violated the
laws of God and man, while PROCESSING 70
obey and respect both. The punishment
however, was very light, as our Recorder
"speaks daggers, but uses none" IL is MS
uniform saying, when pronouncing sentence
"we could send you for seven years to thc
state prison, but think that the great enus
of public justice would be answered by con
filming you six months in the penitentary'
and such is the Judgment OF the court"
