THr TRaLs OF LirE-Life is entirely made
up Of great evils or heavy trials, but the per-
petual recurrence of petty evils and small
trials in the ordinary and appointed exercise
OF the Christian gracss. To bear with the
lailings of those abou, us-with their infirmi-
ties, their bad judgment, their ill-breeding,
their perverse tempers---to endure neglect
when we feel deserved attention, and ingrst-
itude when we expected thanks-to bear
with the company of disagreeable people
whom Providence has perhaps provided or
purposed for the Trial OF our virtue-these
are the best exercises of patience and self
denial and the better because not chosen by
ourselves. To bear with vexation in busi-
ness, with disappointment in our expecta-
tions, with Interruptions of our retirement,
with folly, intrusion, disturbance--in short
whatever opposes our will-contradicts our
humor-this habiiual acquiescence appears
10 be more OF the essence of self-denial than
any little riGors or inflictions of our own im-
posing These constant inevitable but infe-
nor esile, properly improved, furnish good
moral discipline, and might, in the days of
ignorance, have superseded pilgrimage and
penance.

THE NEW STAY Law.

The most material change that has beer
introduced in the law as it stood prior TO the
18th of October, 1857, consists in the tacl'
that one gear is allowed as stay OF execu
ton on all Judgments, without regard 10
amounts, where the debtor is ableto comply
with The usual conditions whereas, hitherto
the time OF the stay has been graduated ac.
cording 10 the amount of the debt. On judg.
menls hereafter obtained, the stay is TO be
computed from the first day OF the term TO
which sui, is brought. A judgment debtor
could always plead bls freehold, but that free
hold consisted of unmcun,Jered real estate.
Now he is allowed to plead his freehold, if
his estate be worth the debt over and above
existing membranes. In this respec! The
law has been modified. Hitherto, on jcda-
menls before aldermen, three, six, or nine
months stay has been allowed and in court,
six, nine, or Twelve months, according TO the
amour. of The Judgment, and the stay was
obtained either py pleading freehold worth
the amount of the Judgment, and free from
membranes, or by entering the security Of
responsible person. Now, the lime is
made uniform, ,hatis, one year, without re-
gard to the sum recovered. But still there
must be security. There is no such thing
as stay without security, and this egresious
ignorance of the law should be at once cor
recled. There are also qualifications and ex.
ceplions IN the act of 18Th of October, 1857,
which 90 far 10 deprive defender. of the
benefit seemingly held on, TO him. If he
has had his stay, or it he has waived it he
cannot demand tho new stay. Indeed this
provision of the reccn, act like many others
to he found in it, promises to be relief only
in name-an empty shadow and feeble
hope. twill hot prevent the bringing of a
single suit, and we venture 10 express the
opinio, that there is no one case in ten, per.
haps not one III fifty, in which the debtor
can comply with it's requirements, in order
TO avail himself of ills so called benefils.-
