I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea chest following behind him in a hand-barrow; a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man; his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulders of his soiled blue coat; his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails; and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember .him looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards: ? Fifteen men on the dead man's chest? Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned a...

Not illustrated. 1864 ...heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease/' has expressly said, in Ex. xxxiv. 21, " Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh day thou shalt in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest."' Very diverse from this law is the practice of many. But if man and beast ever need refreshment from rest, is it not during seed-time and the excessive heat and labours of harvest? It is also a solemn question, and may be pertinently pressed, Who hath hardened himself against God, in violating this law, and prospered? But even if apparent success has attended any man in profaning the Sabbath in seedtime or harvest, let him remember, that " the prosperity of fools shall destroy them." 4. It was a resolution of pious men, in the days of Nehemiah, that " if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the Sabbath-day to sell, they would not buy it of them on the Sabbath, or on the holy day." Neh. x. 31. The thirteenth chapter of Nehemiah, from the fifteenth to the twenty-second verse, records the efforts of that resolute and pious man to enforce this solemn purpose. He did not regard it as a merely civil regulation, but says to the nobles of Judah, "What evil thing is this that ye do? Ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath." From these passages it is very evident, that the law of God forbids the opening of markets and shops, and the driving of bargains, on the Lord's day. 5. The Scriptures, with equal explicitness, forbid travel upon the Sabbath-day. The exception is to what is known in the Scriptures as a Sabbathday's journey. Acts i. 12. From very early times, it seems to have been regarded as proper to visit God's prophets at any time that men's distress required, even though ...
