Was Paul Ever Mari cd?

DR.. Kitto, in his daily Bible Illus;ra-
tons" in discussing the question whether
Saul was member of the Sanhedrin at
the time of The death Of Stephens, says:
! For, in referring to the affairs of this
tine at a later period, he (PauD says not
only that he exercised his powers by a
commission from the high priest, but also
that, when the followers of Christ were
put to death, he gave his vote against
them. He could only have given his vote
as one Of the Sanhedrim, and it may rea-
sonably be doubted whether the very i'm
portant commission which he subsequently
received, when he went to Damascus,
would have been mkrusted to any one who
was not a membee II that body-his intro
duction into which might be materially
prom oted by the fact that Gamalel, whose
favorite he seems to have been was its
president. Out of this arises an important
consideration that to he parent was a
condition of admission to that assembly,
because those whose hearts were softened
by paternal relations were supposed to be
more humane, more inclined to mercy than
others. Besides, among the Jews it was ac-
counted scarcely reputable fora man to re-
main unmarried, and the father of fami-
! ly. But if so, it would seem that his wife
and child, or children, did not long sur
vive, for otherwise it is scarcely possible
but some allusion to them would be found
in the subsequent narrative, in the Epis-
ties and it. is clear that. if he ever had a
wife, she was not living when he wrote
the First Fpistle to the Corinthians.

S37 900. They promptly raise it among
themselves, and invest it. Was this re-
ceirissq money in the due exercise Of their
trust which they could not pay out? They
kneWsas we'll before they received the mo-
ney as afterward that they could not pay
it out They received it then not in the
exercise of their trust, but they received it
to amgest 1t. It is very clear to my mind,
but for the passage Of chat law, peace would
have found the estate Of James B. Camp
bell just as it was when the war began.
Their case is, then, not one in which idu-
Charles received money in the due exercise
of their trust, but rather case in which
ficuciaries unnecessarily and without com
pulsion, moral or otherwise, received mo-
ney for Tie purpose Of taking advantage
Of the law by paying 10 a deprecated cur
rency, as the proceeds of property soldat
perhaps twenty times its real value.
'This reasoning, and the facts in this
case, bring me to the conclusion that the
commissioner acted right in refusing to
credit the executors by this large sum in
vested by them. I, therefore, overrule
the exception filed BY them to this item OF
his report
Il feel it due to myself to state that
regarded this law at the time of it's pas
sage, and have not changed my opinion
since, as fragrant violation Of the rights
Of persons under disability as we'll as 9th
ers, out [ hope my prejudice against the
wisdom and policy Of the law has not
made me lean against the rights of the ex-
ecutcrs in this case.
"The view which I have taken renders
it unnecessary that I should de.
ciG.e on the consi tutionality of the law
or the other questions raised by the coun
sell"

How Su1names Originated.

A writer in Chambers journal says:
With regard to surnames-which are
simply the stereotvpes Of sobriquets or
nick names, clinging to race instead Of
an individual-we are sure they were chos-
en- for sense, and were fixed upon grown
up men. There became such multitude of
Joans and Johns, as these little Stands Of
ours-for we will confne ourselves to them,
grew thick with people, and when, more
over, there was communication between
one clan and another, as conquerors land
ed and armies spread, it became necessi-
ty to find some means of denoting which
Joan and John was meant.
Out came that original, decisive, salts
factory system of naming after some per-
sonal beauty OR Disagreement, evident to
everybody who have eyes, and therefore,
per force, the first to come to use; man
with crooked legs was Curikshanks, and
one with bunch upon his back was Crump
and man was notable for his Creathead,
or his Tightfoot, his Broadfoot or he was
Strong i tn arm, or it's inverse Arm
strong or he was Pretty, Hanson, Bland,
Blyth Sterne, Strong, Sharp, Short,
Large, Small, Little (Which Of course was
Petty, Hale; a Coward, a Snowman,
Smart, or Quick.
Then to call people by the names of the
countries whence they came, was sensi-
bic way of knowing that apart. The fact of
this plan having been adopted, furnish
es us with curious proof of the cosmopo-
Titan ingredients of which our nation is
composed. We may cell by it that there
journeyed here Finn, a Russ, and a Pole;
that people came who were jeered at
Frank, and French, and Francis, and who
Kissed out Inglis in return that France
gave Us also Norman and LIE Breton,
and men from Lisle, and Lyons, and some
from Gascony called Gascoyne folks sail
ed here also from Canton and from Spain
and there came Moor and a Blackmore
and Blackman, and Redmen and Sara
Gems, which is Sarsons now by wear and
so many people from the the Germany so
closely tied to us, they are represented by
Jarman Altman, Aleman, D'Almaine,
Holland, Fleming, and Dutch
Personal characteristics and birthplaces
did not however, afford Scope enough for
the selection or the endurance of surnames
There were people with no particular dis
tinction that could be pointed out-meck,
souless, average creatures, with no feature
of their own there were people who would
not have stood the branding, if there were
any 70" shem, but would have fought their
way to something else; there were so many
people swarming up from the awakened
towns, or merely changing their abodes
in them it became necessary to indicate
from which portion of them they came -
This gave such names as Street, Hill,
Brook, Green, Bourne, Marsh, Tree and
which, after an hour or two's thinking,
an exhaustive (and very wearying) list Of
these could be made, there would be no
semblance Of an end. They may nearly all
be multiplied by their translation into
French, and Italian, and German, to
say nothing of our own Kettle tongues,
and the old English that drove them all
away.

Printers Ten Commandments.

1. Thou shalt love the Printer (espe-
cially the Ladies) for he loveth you much

2. Thou shalt subscribe for his paper
for he seeketh much to obtain news OF
which you remain ignorant.
3. Thou shalt pay him for his paper
he laboreth hard to give you the news in
due season,
4. If a business man thou shalt adver-
tise, that thus thy profits may enable thee
not only to pay for the paper, but put mon
ey in thy purse.
5. Thou shalt visit him regardless ofthe
Office rules-in derangment of the papers.
6. Thou shalt not touch anything that
would give him trouble--that he may not
hold thee guilty.
7. Thou shalt not read the manuscript
in the hands of the composition he will
not hold thee blameless
g. Thou shalt not read the news before
it is printed-for he will give it to you in
due time.
g. Thou shalt ask him few questions of
things in the ofice-from it thou shalt tell
nothing.
TO- Thou shalt not at any time send
abusive and threatening letters to the ed
itor, nor cowhide him more than five times
a year-nor bring the printer old rotten
wood-nor bring produce that defles the

DEAD VIOLETS.

Let them lie-ah. let them lie
Plucked fiowers-dead tomorrow
Lift the lid quietly
As you'd lift the mystery
Of a buried sorrow.
Let them he-the fragrant things,
All their souls thus giving;
Let no breeze's ambient wings,
And no useless water-springs,
Mock them into living.
They have lived-they live no more /;
Nothing can requite them
For the gentle Life they bore,
Which to up-yield l., full store
1t did so delight them.
Yes. | ween, fower-corses fair
Twas joyful yielding
Like some soul heroic, rare,
That leaps boldly forth in air
For its loved ones shielding
Surely, ye were glad to die
Ia the hand that slew ye;
Glad to leave The open sky,
And the airs that wandered by,
And the bees that knew ye.
Giving up a small earth place,
And day of blooming,
Here to lie in narrow space,
Smiling in this smileless face
With such sweet pertaining.
Dye little violets dead D.!
Confined from ali ,;azes,
We will also smile, aad shed
Out of heart flowers withered
Perfume of sweet praises.
And as ye, for this poo" sake,
Love with Life are buyiog,
So, doubt not, One will make
All our gathered flowers to take
Richer scent through dying.

Concert Hall ere Tom leaves IL. This niracu-

be fully appreciated until seen and heard. No

idea Of Tom. His rolling eyes, his apish ges-
lures, his convulsive motions, his countless pc
culiaTiies and eccentricities, all must be seen
before any one can do complete justice 10 the
marvellous powers of Tom, One of the most re.
markable traits in Blind Tom is his mode of
exercise 10 strengthen his physical power. At
one period he gave specimens on the st ige of
his mode which consisted in bending his head
nearly on a level with the floor, and wheeling
around the stage at rate that alarmed the be-
holder, for, being nearly blind, IL seemed as If
he would dash his brains out at every turn
This he now practises in his room, and it is one
OF his faVorite amusements. 10 Is a dangerous

The boiler bill was then considered. It pro-
vides for an inspector of steam engines and
