RUM Axi) Till: SABBATH.

WlIF.'rllER all men are ogre-crl with us or not as to the t-xteiit and llI5l,i,5tllllit.lt: of the evils pro- duced in otir world by iluni, there can no question in the mind of every intelligent, obser- vant (Ilirlsiiaii man. that by its silt: and use Sab- bath desecration is wry largely promote-l, espe- cially in our larut-. cities

\Vllllsl men of every tIllI('l' pursuit shtit up their stores and iiiaiiufiictorit-s. their ollice or countiiig-liiitise, and ziiistaiii from all secular eniployiiiciit on the I.ortl‘s day, the bar-rnoni. and the saloon, and the low g_vrogg~ei'y are all open iiiililiisliingly for Ilie sale til" strong drinks. and around those (:\lHIL'|‘S, wliore these establish- me-tits .iri- to be fouud—aiid. alas? they are lc;_vion -lllelIlhI‘l'S oi the prrcocioiis niaiihoorl of our city will ever he foninl, with loud talk, prntiiiie just, and obscene rciiiarlt to the aniioyniioe of the quiet passer to the House of God, and to the scandal of our entire r-oirimuiiity.

it may be safely estimated, that in New York alone. ten tliousanil such lriiiiiia, of various grade, may he found in full blast on every Sab- bath, pouring utit ii coiitinueus stream of pollu- tion and death, alluring our youth, the hope of our land, to habits of dissipation and debauchery -winning our manhood with syrcn tongue and ovary blandishment, from the house of prayer, and from the sacred and neglected duties and happiness of home.

God requires that we sasiclify this day, and halilow it to. Him. Our sta-tute laws, based on the great requirements of the decalogue. provide for its observance. From every pulpit in our land. in every school house in our wide doutr-in, around every hearth-stone, the same great truth is taught again, and we have none so ignorant but knows, that the iirst day of the week is the Sabbsth—that all wordly employments or recrea- tions thereon are sinful and unlawful ; and yet, through the seducing inﬂuence of the maildeniug bowl—or -this more despicable love of gain—thou-, sands systematjcaly disregard the injunction and prosscutc sir calling, and tens of thousands

“ The Sabbath was made for man. " An all- vrise and jbenluﬁeent Jehovah, has provided for him this day ol rei-it—rest, not'only .l'roin worldly cars—rest.' that every fpc, lty , may recruited and refreshed,.snd that in‘coser communion with his God, his’ nipy be strengthened for the duties, and the ti'lals' of the coming week. By such suiploymsnto this dsy,it will become to us as a people, a national good, and to every family, a weekly recurring blessing; but the demon of the Rum-shop in spproptiltilttt it to bi own use, and in thus desecratiag and disbonouriug it, has converted the blessing to a curse.

Ten Stairs of our nioo have already been driven to the neccessity of trying this experiment; and so far as it is routed and grounded in the ﬁxed senti-tnents of the great mass of the People. The whole qnestiori of the success ot legal prohi- bition, ss a remedy for drunkenness, just turns upon one point : will the people. the great body of the people, malts tip thr-it minds to adopt it? Such a law, once fully estahlislied on the basis of the popular will, would have the effect of rendering drunkenness infamous, and the liquor traﬁc, ifstill persisted in, contra an _ We can conceive ofuo greater moral change in society, than that which would be effected by placing this calling under the penal sanctions of the law and consequently, under the ban ofa known public oponion. For law, in a free country, is only public opinion stereotyped and published to the world by authority of the poop c.

There would. doubtless, still be drtinkards and liquor selling to some rxtcnt, under any law that could be framed ; precisely as there are thieves and counterfeiting and gambling, despite of all the snathemas of existing laws. No man who understands anything of human nature, expects all crime to be extirpated. or all criminals so be reformed by law. The grand object is to prevent men from committing crimes, and from bscorsirig criminals: and thus to
