THE SABBATH DAY. The Sabbath-day, the Sabbath-day,

How softly shines the morn't, Hoy gently from the heathery brae The fresh hill-brecze is borne ! Sweetly the village bell doth toll,

And thus it seems to say, Como rest thee, rest thee, woary soul,

"Qu God's dear Sabiath-day!" Swift as the shifting pictures fit

Unacanted, annoticed by,

To those who in the steam-dor sit -

And pass with rapid eye; So its our life with sweeping haste,

And hath no power to stay; But God mades man His favoured guest

On cach dear Sabbath-day :

And to high converse doth invite

The soul with tranquil eye That numbers voll, and marks aright

The moments as they fly; The soul that will not lawless roam

Nor with blind hurry stray, But with itnolf would be at home

On a peaceful Sabbath-day,

There are who live as in a fair,

The light, the shallow-hearted, Nor ask or whither bound, or where

They stand, or whence they started ; Aimless they live, and thoughtless fing

Their rattling lives away, Nor know to poise the brooding wing

On a sober Babbath-day.

STRAY SKETCHES,

The band plays an elaborate essay on music, composed expressly, for the occasion by Herr Smertzenfuchs who beats time angrily with no result: in the distance the General ridestreund, admires the Green Salamander on the helmets and seeking something to find fault with, says the men's belts are too tight, which is gail to Colonel ruffles, who thinks this forms a specialité in connexion with the smartness of the Smashers. This over, the usual formula are gone through.

THE LATE SUGAR CONVENTION,

After a long debate, the Second Chamber at the Hague has decided by a large majority-47 to 24-to reject the recent Convention between France, England, Belgium, and Holland, according to which France and Holland were to introduce the refining of sugar in bond, Belgium was to redus, its sugar duties, and England syread to roane in bond if it should reimpose a cinty on sugar. The settlement of the dificulty of the French sugar bounties is Protectionists are only too likely to seize the opportunity of the rejection of the Treaty by Holland to keep on the of system. The Dutch, however, can hardly be blamed for rejecting the Treaty. Their owa duty is not so high as that of France. and the bounties they gave to their retiners must consequently have been less, so that they would be naturally unwilling to burden their refiners with the restrictions of refin- ing in bond. A strong party, moreover, has sprung up which is in favour of abolish ing the duty altogether--possibly the best solution of the difficulty even for Holland. although the yearly loss of revenue would be over 400,0001, and that is no small sum for such a State at a time when it is under large engagements for the Atchin war, for converting its coinage, and also for public works. Still the better opinion in Holland appears to be that refining in bond is in- colorable, that no system of duties can be worked without a bounty, and that the beat thing is to get rid of the incubus altogether, Probably this would be the best solution eveu for Franco, which could spare the "money much easier than is commonly sup posed. The refining of sugar le so com plicated a manufacture as to make inter- ference with it in any shape-whether by duties and drawbacks, or by simple duties accompanied by refining in bond-a fruitfal cause of disturbance in trade, while the State itself is apt to lose much tonny which goes into the hands of private portons.
