The Rev. Albert Barnes, d. D,


This distinguished commentator upon
the scriptures, and eminent divine lately
preached sermon TO the Legislature Of
Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg, in favor Of
the Maine Law. His text was from the
Oath Psalm: "ShalI the throne Of iniquity
have fellowship with thee, which frameth
iniquity by "a law"?
MIR. Barnes laid down the following
principles, as the basis of all sound legis-
lation:
1st. Society has right to protect ITSELF
2nd. Society should not legislate to
protect evil.
Sd. Society should not legislate to reg
ulate evil.
4th. Society has right to take efficient
means TO prevent and remoUe evil.
9th. Society has alright 10 remove a
public evil by destroying private property
if necessary.
In sustaining his positions he quoted
from Kent, Blackstone, and other emf
nent iurists, both in England and this
country. Will not other and lesser lumi-
naries in the church she'd their light on
this great subjectl The course Of Dr.
Barnes on this subject wiiI add to his high
reputation as a scholar and christian, and
what is far more desirable, will accom-.
plish an untold amount of good,

JUVENILE SlMPLICTY.--A friend says the
following story is fact. Two boys Of tender
years, who went by the name Of Tom and JACK
became members Of a district school, u cer-
tain New England town. On making Their
appearance, the teacher called them up before
the assembled seheol, and proceeded 70 make
certain inferrogatories concerning their names
age, &c.
well my fine lad said the teacher to the
first one, what is your nameP
Tom, promptly answered the juvenile.
Toni said the teacher that does not sound
WE'LL Remember always to speak the full
name. You should have said Thomas. Now,
my son, (turning to the other boy, whose e1-
pectaut face suddenly lighted up with the sat
isfaction Of newly cumpFehended idea.) now
wi yoa tell me what your name isi'
"Jack-assl" replied the lad, in tone Of con-
findent decision.
The teacher was taken with sudden fit of
coughing and merely mOtionCd the lad te their

SCENE OF BhEKRUPTUY AND RUN. II be.
came the House to take care, while they
were giving wayt the goodness Of their
hearts, that they did not contribute to the
ruin of the mercantile interests Of their
country"
Lord Frederic Campbell said: che
was sure that neither tie House nor the
public were in a temper sufficiently cool
to discuss it properly. There was a
general 1garmth Of feeling, or an enthusi-
asm about it which ran away with the
understandings of men and disqualified
them from judging soberly concerning
it.n
In opposition to this kind of reasoning
were found two of the greatest names in
theassembly Of which theywere members
whose words are not without significance
even on the question under our consider
alton.
With their loss, said Edmund Burke
(meaning the loss of the slave traders)t
their virtue tUotad be greater. And in this
light he hoped the House would consider
the matter; for, if they were called upor
% do an act of virtuous energy and hero
ism, they ought to think i right 70 submit
totemporary disadvantages for the sake o
truth, justice, humanity, and the prospec
of greater happiness" &.
And Charles James Fox: "With respect
however, to the assertion that clandes-
tine trade in slaves would be worse than
legal one, he could not admit it. Such
a trade, if it existed at all, ought only to
be cIandestine The Legislature must eithe,
abolish il, or plead guilty Of all the wicsed-
ness uphich had been Skown TO attend il. L
could not be regulated, because there could b.
NJ regulation Of robbery and murder"

IMPORTANT ARREsT.-- evening
Watchman Baldwin arrested a young man
named Isaac Mcdonald, for riOtOus and disor-
derly conduct. This morning he was diseov-
cred as being the same person who was charged
some two years ago with killing an Italian
named Lewis Brockell, on the corner Of Fifth
and Plum streets, and who had managed at
that time to elude an arrest. We do not re-
member the circumstances, but we heard the
following related at the Mayors office. A par
ty Of young men went into BrockelPs confec-
tionary store, at the above named locality, and
soon got into quarrel with the proprietor -
One Of the party struck BrOcksll on the head
with pound weight, inflicting an injury Of
which he died. One Of the party named Her
ris, or Harrison, was arrested for the murder,
but was acquitted, and that during bis trial it
was found that Mcdonald was the person who
struck BrOckwel with the weight.
Mcdonald has been in the city, we UNDER
stand, forseveral months past, but no attempt
has been made to arrest him. He was this
morning remanded to the watch-honse to await
the action Of the county prosecutor.

A Bore.


The Mt. Vernon True Whig gives an
account of the execution of the Maine
Law in Utica, Knox county. 1t seems
that the citizens, in town meeting, de-
termined that no more liquors should be
sold in the place for drinking purposes,
and informed the grocery men of the fact
They pledged themselves to sell liquor
no longer, and DR.. Fuller was elected to
keep liquors for medical purposes only,
Soon after one of the grocery keepers
who had pledged not to sell, brought into
town barrel Of spirits to deal out 10 his
friends expecting TO realize handsomely
from the investment owing to monopoly
of the business, but alas, "the spirit Of the
big duger" entered the domain Of the fiery
king, and the hopes of the rumseller,
bound though they were by slaves and
hoops
Melted into cir, into thin air,
And like the baseless fabric of vision,
The rosy glass, the flowing decanters,
The shining dollars, the great barrel itself,
Yea, all that it contained were spilled,
And like an unsubstantial pageant faded,
Left not drop behind.
Seven times did the Temperance men,
one evening, tap that rum barrel, and in
the morning there was such feeling Of
goneneSS about the rumseller, as he had
never before experienced. Served him

Mighty victor mighty lord!
OF all that bow to Allah's name,
Or own the sway Of sinars word,
Or dare their Christian faith proclaim.
OfIall, whatever be their creed,
From Gade's Straits, PropOntis side,
To where the mystic Brahmins bleed
In worship paid to Ganges' tide.
Will not this mighty charm awake
Nor rouse thee from thy damask couch :
Let Glory tell what sceptres shake
Beneath thy sword, what millions crouch;
That, on the plains of Palestine,
When Ceur de Lion trod the field,
An equal fight alone was thine
With him who never learned to yield.
Haste, and essay religions aid,
Shout in his ear, thou Dervise sage,
The becatomb's to MahmOud paid,
OF victims to his pious rage.

or infdels to slaughter given.

And pave his road to Heaven

Be yielded, else, without blow.

The furious Templars raise the battle roar,

Oh, wake thee, Sultan, wake, or rel gn no more
Nay, then, Ills lrue-of all thy spoils,

The wages OF life Of tolls
In wars uncertain, deadly trade,

The mighty Saladin's remains.
