BLUE LAWS OUTDONE. ;

According to Smiths II story, a law was
made in the colony of New York for hang
ing every Popish Priest that should come
voluntary into the province a Though
this law was ten tunes as severe and cruel
as any ever passed in Connecticut, yet no
one ever thinks of casting odium on New
York. In Virginia, the laws Were, il pos
sible more ridicu Gus than any in New Eng
land. Under the administration of Sir
Samuel Argal, the d,ance on goods lm-
ported fiou England was fixed at twenty
five per cent, and the-priee oftobacco three
shlIIings pound. Penalty for transgress-
ing, three gears >iarery.
Absence from Church Sundays and
Holidays was punished by tying The o8en-
de1 neck and heeic8 far one 'rhoie night, or
by one mceps slaUery The second offence
by one month, and the third by one gears
sfaDery'
In this State also in olden times, Free
Thinker or PhilIos osophcr, who hated the
Church service, was forced to attend, or
be tied neck and heels, and his body IN
decorousiy exposed. Again IN the years
lG20-l62l several cargoes of Young wo-
men were sent over from England for wives
for the VirginIans. BY law the price was
fixed at one hundred and t,r'nty pounds ot
tobacco. Manyofthe Virginians not being
able to- find the tobacco, had TO purchase
wives on credit Debts of this description

An old gentleman (who nattended more
to learning his son the methods of accumu.
Iating riches than knowiedge,) lived some
time since in town in one of the eastern
states. BY application and industry, he had
amassed a property of about 90, 900 dollars;
and although not able to read or write, he
never hiled clerk but always had been
in the habit of keeping his own books.
For this purpose he had invented some
new characters; they were formed as nearly
similar to the shape of the article sold as
the nature Of the circumstances would ad-
nit One day customer of his called on
him for the purpose of settl ing his &C.
counts. The book Of hieroglyphics was
handed down. and our merchant commen-
ced with such a time gallon of rum and
such time pound of tea-such time
gallon Of molasses, and such time
cheese" stop there" says the customer
II have never had cheese of you nor any
other man, make my own cheese" You
certainly must have had it said the mer-
chant, cit is down in my book The olher
denied ever buying an article ofthat kind
After "a sufficient numbers of pros and cons,
upon recollection, he informed him, he
believed he had purchased a grindstone a.
bout that time.-Tis the very thing said
the merchant. and must have forgotten to
put the hole in the middle. 4"

beads and some toys besides. When |
returned home | opened the treasure, and
set them down before her. She burst into
tears of ex'acy. "Ihoso my child, are
