Not only did this solemn declaration announce to the world the principles to which the regning powers agreed to conform in future wars, but it contained clause to which those powers gave i'm mediate effect, and which prov ded that the State, not parties to the Congress of Paris should be ia vited to accede to the dec'ara ion. Under this ii- vitation every independent State in Etlroue viell ed it's assent; at le ,St, instance known to me sof refusal; and the UnitsI States while declin. ing to assent to the proposition which prohibite ed privateering, declared that the three. ee.renminine principles were in entire accordance with their own views of international law.
 No instance is known in history of the adoption oi rules ot pubic law under circumstances of like solemnity, with like unaniruity, and pledginp the faith of nations with sanctity SO peculiar.
 When, therefore, this Confederacy was formed and when neutral powers, while delerring action on It's demand for admission into the family of na tlons, recognized it as bclligerent power, Eug- land and France made informal proposals about the same time that their own rights as neutras should be guarantiedby our acceding, as beliger- ents' to the declaration of principles made by the Congress of Paris.

MoNEY-How TO KEEP IT.-The way to
keep money is to earn it fairly and honestly;
money so obtained is pretty sure to abide by
its possessor. But money that is inherited, or
in any way comes without fair and just
equivalent, is almost as certain to go as it
came. The young man who begins by saving
a few shilings, and is thrifty increases his
store-every coin being representative OF
good solid work, honestly and manfully done
half of his life in affluence and comfort than he
who, in his haste to become rich, obtains mon
ey by dashng speculations or the devious
means which abound in the foggy region ly-
ing between fair dealings and actual fraud.
Among the wisest and most thrifty men Of
wealth, the current proverb is, money goes
as it comes" Let the young make note of this !,
and see that their money comes fairly, that it
may long abide with them.
