We have before. us the February
number of the Yankee Notions, from
which we Gull the following:
A young man, lately married, fears
being drafted, and advocates the pas
sage of law similar to that in force
among the Israelites, as recorded IN
Deuteronomy, oath. chap. 5th' verse
"When man hath taken new
wife. he shall not go out to war, nei.
ther shall he be charged with any
business; but ho shall be free at
home one year, and shall cheer up
his wife which he has taken"

law passed. it would cause greater
rust 70 arms than ever.
