party, and all of

them sufi'oiod terriblo agonies, but at the last accounts, it was hoped that all of them would probably rerovor. In making marble cake cochineal is used, and it is supposed that it was adulterated with carbonate of iead or .something else, prouucing tho featful results mentioned. Confectioners and heuse-kcepors cannot bo too careful about what tbey put into their fancy cakes.

ISabbath Desecration—Appalling

NjJMiER of

Saloons—Our Civilisation

Outraged—An Appeal

for a

Remedt.

—The state ot' case exhibited in the first article of this series,- from which it is obvi' ous how small a proportion of our population observe the Christian Sabbath, in the way which God has ordained, has led U3 to enquire, who are responsible for such a deplorable condition of affairs as we find in our midst "We have not attempted to screen_fiither minister, private members or non professors from the blames which attaches to them, nor have we attempted to detail these' excuses, which private members or others, plead in exhonoration or extenuation of .their course. The sin of such as are guilty of Sabbath desecration, be they members of the church or not, is not atoned for by apologies or pretexts, nor is the degenerating tendency of such a state of case arrested by indifference to duty. Our obligation to respect the day grows out of a command from Him whose sovereign right of creation entitles His injunctions to the respect of all His creatures.

Thus far we have advanced. We now advert to the appalling number of saloons tn our city, as ono of the great powers of evil in our ^midst, inciting the flagrant outrages.of the Sabbath which we see among us. (4.) There are open on tho Sab oath day in the city of Terre Haute from 100 to 120 drinking saloons^ To these resorts are crowding men who occupy positions in society, young men and men advanced in life. These are the places which cause the heart of man and wife to bleed. These cause the heart of many a pious parent to languish, because their boy has taken up with saloons,- and the company he meets there, rather than with the Sabbath School or the Church. These cause many a fond daughter or sister to blush with shame** for the disgrace of a father or mother. A3k the score of sisters, mothers and wives of Terre Haute whether these places have not brought, and do not bring sorrow upon their lacerated hearts. With so many receptacles lbr the abandoned and desolate—so .many signs staring us in the face, over the doors of these saloons, upon which should be written—"hero is where the hearts of men are broken'"—-here is wlicre men are prostituted and debauched -here are misery, sorrow and death.'' "Adulterers,

BfiUiath-breaker*, thieves and murderers arc manufactured in

-this

place." What

i3 to bo done to remedy such a case But it is as illustrative of Sabbath desecration that wc advert to this shocking case. Such open flagrant violation of our Christian Sabbath an indignity to our peculiar civilization, is disgrace to our city, and a reproach upon its morality and

the^ power of the Christian Church of Terre Haute, which clamors for'reform. I will not extend these comments further, :but conclude by observing that some steps should be taken to remedy these terrible evils. If those of whatever name or creed, who desire-to see mora

mAed among us, remain qui^a£^lniiit

fereat to these things, the liquor saloon and anti-Sabbatical influence of the city will soon put at defiance the dictates of a decent morality and respectable society.— JThat infiuenctt cUrjstati^i)^itl(flf ibjp an assault upon the State because the State presumes to protect, by legal enactments, the public ^morals of its citizens.— There is law enough, if enforced, to preserve the sanctity of our Christian Sab' bath. When the public"morals of the community are no longer protected, and profanity, drunkenness and debauchery moulds the sentiments of society when our civilization is prostituted by flagrant outrages against the proprieties of our Christian Sabbnth, it ls time that all mori who love order afid good morality, be they in the church or out of it be tbey^Americans or foreigners be tbc£ of-whatever party or religious persuasion, they should awake to a sense of their 'duties.

Mr. Editor:

If you cai. spare the

room in your columns, I would like to ma^e few .critical -remarks upon a setmotj delivered last Sundny night, by. Rev. E. Frank Howe, ujppn the sj»bjectu of amusements.

The Reverend gentleman began by lay' ingdown the principle^ th'at* amusement in some shape is necessary arid proper as a relaxation 'from the cares of^b&biness, and instanced a case in his own oxpetteube, when wearied and fagged 'out byihtehse application to an absorbing occupation, ho sought and found the relief in Some innocent amusemep^.that'was denied hitq from every other source^ even sleep.

or mind, then he is exempt from all further responsibility so far as example goes. If mv, brother—-whe has some of these propensities in excess, and 'exercises no control over them, but a.llows them to run riot, and corrupt body and soul, finds a pretext for s6 doing in my femji&ate using of them—am I to emasculate my nature andtstifle its longings

I will stated a gase^-Smith, having artrived at matdrBT^b, tfeing in'good Health and able to support a wile, and longing for some one to love, cherish and protect selects a suitable oompamon-,and is married to her, deriving much |oy l'rom the union. Jdnes, who does "not retrain this propensity" or desire," marries two Wives5 and thereby^$mes to grief- and the, titate prison. And Brigliajn^ Y^ung^ not fearing that corrective, marries fifty* "wives' or more. Should Smith, before entoi iri'g the' matrimonial state, hesitate and calculate the effect of his example^ on such uxorious individuals as Jones and Saint Brig-

ham?

*1 £&

Mr. Howe would argue that ns I had first led bim into temptation, and given htm the first push toward the gulf of perdition jby allowing him to experience the pleasure of dancing in my house, therefore, on my skirts would lie tho blood of his soul. My answer is, that it may be my duty to counsel and plead with him on the wrongfulness of his course, but that I may not deprive my children of a healthy, rational and graceful amusement because Brown abuses its enjoyment. I will however, give notice that it Brown-'#/-Claret, ghost ever arises,to confront and confound me, that I shall castinjtsterthjiwdefiant

also stated as an axiom, £hat amusepxehts cease to be profitable when they are made the'•ends of existence and not the means for relaxation and recuperation and that when they are indulged in to excess, so as to unfit the mind and body for the regular duties of life they are pernicious. These pretnises, I think no rational person will object to, and tbey certainly cannot be controverted but the Reverened gentle' man in the Elucidation of. his subject took a ground which I think is hardly tenable. Stated briefiyTtfis this: "Every man, and especially every church member, i3 not onljr responsible for the use that he makes of an amusement, but also tor the abuse of it by any weaker brother who may be influenced by his exkmple in selecting' that particular ainusement." I believe I hav6 stated his proposition" correctly though" not verbatim. Now, I aver that our creator has given to every human being certain faculties and propensities, all of .which were intended to be brought into use and exercised, and if a single one of these is suffered to lie dormant or uncultivated the character of the person thus offending against the law of'his being, is incomplete to that uxttsnt. BuC if on'the other hand an individual uses the good gifts of his Creator in moderation and up they .wore intended to be used without, fusing body

Mr. Howe specified dan6iftg as On the amusements that should not be in bulged in, although he admitted that per se, it was an innocent .amusement, and hardly distinguishable from the_ modern calisthenics used pi alnfost every Female College, and in which certain movements of the body are maa^ to music, and the muscles theteby developed and strengthened. NoW' I have a' family of children growing up and, being naturally desirous of improving their physique, and of their acquiring that ease and grace in Company which an acquaintance with the Terppichorean art generally gives, I hire a master, give dancing parties, to which my friends are invited, and attend theirs with my family, always being careful to avoid late hours, and ^taking cold from wearing thin shoes or insufficient clothing after letting warm rooms and emerging into the colder atmosphere of the street. Mr. Howe I think will admit that such a course of conduct would not be improper. Mr. Brown, who visits my house, and there first goes through the intricate mazes of a quadrille, acquires an inordinate fondness for the saltatory art, and being unable to satisfy his desire for its enjoyment at these occasional social reunnions, he frequents the ball room spends his money, wasts his time and acquires habits that ultimately ruin his constitution and morals.
