William Prnn,s Civil Code.

William Penn, before leaving England to
establish colony in Anne, lea, prepared a
code of laws, for the government of it. On
calling the elders of his colony together at
Upland, now Chester, near Philadelphia, they
resolved themselves into Legislative Assem-
bly,, of which Penn was the Governor, and he
submitted his code for their approval. One
of the laws is so peculiar, and is SO character
istic of its wise and pious author, who was a
man, by the way, of unparalleled industry
and who embraced every means in his power
of promoting it in others, that we transcribe
it for the instruction and benefit of the pres
ent generation. 1t runs thus:
Be 1t enacted-That all children of twelve
years OF age and upward, be taught some
useful trade or skill, to the end that none
| be idle In the Province; but if they be poor
they may become rich, and it they be ricf
and become poor, they need not want.
This law, with fifty-eight others of like i'm.
portance (which might by some perhaps be
called the Pennsylvania Blue Laws,") were
passed by the Assembly during session o.
only three days, when they adjourned, OF
"broke up" and retired to their various trades
and callings. This shows very plainly that
the Legislature of the day, which is the first
that ever sat in Pennsylvania, was not only
careful to pass laws that required industry in
others, but that they deemed it incumbent
on themselves to set an example of diligence
in business in their own proceedings. Wei
would it be if their legislative successors in al
our States and iu the National Capitol, after
the long lapse of more than a century and a
halt, would follow in the steps of their illus.
trious predecessors" and be as prompt and
faithful in the public service. The foregoing
enactment has, at this remote period, become
obsolete, and the practice of instilling into
children at an early age, habits OF dill
gence and industry, has, it is feared, beer
too much neglected and dsregarded, either
for their own good, or for the comfort and ad.
vantage Of their parents; and inasmuch as so
important law has been expunSed from all
our statute book, we venture to recall atten-
tion to it, so that parents and heads of fami
| lies may re-enact it as a part OF their domes-
| tic code for the benefit of their offspring, and
the promotion OF useful industry in general.

Recent Publication y.

Charles Scribner & Co., New York, have re-
printed among their holiday books Fred Maria

peared in the first two numbers of Hours at
Home. 1t Is in small quarto form, very hand
some in all the details Of paper, printing and
binding, and has five well drawn illustrations
by Magrath One of the very prettiest of the
minor gift books of the season. (Received by
Bailey & Noyes.)
Lee & Shepard, of Boston, publish small
square volume, elegantly printed and bound,
entitled Golden Truths. 1t consists of short
selections, in prose and verse, from FeneloD,
bunyan, Jeremy Taylor, Bushnell, Kingsley,
hooertson, Tholuck, Trench, Mrs. Browning ,
whittier, Lowell, Jean Ingelow, and many
others, arranged under the heads ofHThe Inner
Life" "Trials by the Way,""Work for Christi
"The Unfailing Friend" and ''The Heavenly
Home" rhe compiler is Mrs. Means, of
Dorchester; and the book is one of the best of
its kind. (Received by Short s. Loring.)
Charles Scribner g. Co. have also lately
brought out in neat duodec mo, Prayers
from Plymouth Pulpit, a selection from the
pulpit petitions of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
The great number of Mr.. Beecher's admirers
will find the book crowded full of his peculiar
tiles, overrunning with his individuality. The
prayers it contains were phonographically re-
ported, without Mr.. Beecher's knowledge, at the
request of the Rev. John Marsh. who thought
them as worthy Of preservation and as likely
to do good as the sermons Of their author, and
who has induced Mr.. Beecher to consent to
their publication. They are full OF fervor, re-
ligious inspiration, richness of thought and
beauty Of expression. (Received by Bailey &
Noyes.) ~ .r...-..-.. ,. ...4. ..
Sheldon 8 Co., New York, have issued a
Memoir of George ". Bethune. d. D.. prepared
by the Rev. DR.. Van Nest. 1t is very largely
made up from the letters, sermons, and other
writings of the subject of the memoir, the BIZ
ographer keeping himself sedulously out of
sight. He acknowledges the assistance in pre-
pairing the memoir of Mrs. Bethune, Mr.. Geo.
Trott, OF Philadelphia, j. B. Brown, formerly
u. s. Consul at Florence, and several others.
The work seems to have been carefully and
faithfully done; and the volume win doubtless
be well received by the class of readers for
whom it was designed. (Received by Short 8

Too MANY SuNs.-The people of Lee Coun-
ty, Virginia, were recently thrown into great
CONSERVATION by the wonderful spectacle of
three suns rising at once. The more intelli-
gent, however, explained the phenomenon on
scientific principles and so we've not alarmed,
The scene is thus described:
The central orb was encircled by beautiful
rainbow, and surmounted by the fragment o.
another iris, which extended on either hand
above the attendant suns. The spectacle i.
said 10 nave been sublime and splendid be-
yond description, and inspired admiratior
even in the breasts of those who regarded il
as the potent of awful supernatural develop
mentS.

A TERRIBLE SPECTACLE.-The Buffalo
Express, speaking Of the arrival at Buffalo
of the bodies of the persons killed in the An
gola accident, says that there were seven box
es of the remains, each box six feet long and
two feet wide. On BEING opened at the "Sol-
dier's Rest" soul-sickening spectacle was
revealved, the charred relics of mortality pre-
senting themselves in every conceivable form
of disgust and terror. Among this gbastly
heap were plainly distinguishable twenty
three skulls not destroyed, but whether Of
men or women none but God knows. The
sight was horrible one and will doubtless
never be effaced from the memories of the
many who saw it.

As You LIKE 1.-THE Maine Standard is
financial authority of no mean pretensions
Its most notable effort of late Is its attempt
to disclose "why Money is scarce and Trade
Dull" OF course that is an interesting topic,
and we all listen open-mouthed while the or
acle proceeds as follows, in opposition to
Secretary McCulloch's theory that 3money is
in demand at the present tir.e, not so much
to move crops as to hold them-not to bring
them at reasonable prices within the reach
of consumers, but to withhold them from
market until large advance of prices can be
established" ...-,.i -.ts-4 e.....
Win anybody tell us how the carrying" of
three millions of dollars worth of grain, by
the Chicago banks, can make money scarce?
1t may make it scarce with the banks but
that three millions advanced to the grain deal
ers to carry" their load, has only shifted
grain: It has undoubtedly been paid out by
the dealers to the producers, and gone into
general circulation. 1t is undoubtedly injuri-
GUS to the interests of the country to have the
grain products held back for speculative pur-
poses, but it is folly to talk of its making mon
ey scarce. There is just so much money in
the country and the accumulation of large
quantities OF productions, in the hands of
spectators, neither increases nor diminishes
the quantity. ats 7Ios4f .E- ,.-, .rr.t.r,' =
That is to say, the three millions advanced
to the grain dealers have not made money
scarce, because there is just so much money
in the country, and it stands to reason it
can't be scarce; but then on the other hand,
the three millions may have made money
scarce at the banks and it may be difficult to
come at; but then again it hasn't been pack
ed away in the bins, and so it must have gone
into general circulation and finally it is in
furious to the interests OF the country to have
the grain products held back by speculatCrs,
but it is folly to talk of its making money
scarce; the three million loan may diminish
the resources ofthe banks, but if business men
can't get accommodation at the banks per-
haps they can find money "lying around loose
somewhere-there being just SO much in the
country. Na H Ho
ibis delicate mode of weighing the sub
jectis only equalled by the nice balancing
the advantages and detects of shepherds
life by the clown Touchstone, in @As yon
Like IT.: trs 4.ds7q 60 5asa 4i 5c ..ts
Iruiy, IN respect OF itself, 1t IS good life ;
but in respect that it is shepherds life, 1T is
naught. In respect that it is solitary, like it
very well; but in respect that it is private it
is very vile life. Now, in respect it is in the
fields, it pleaseth me well; but in respect it is
not in the court, it is tedious. As it is spare
life, look You, it fits my humor well; but as
there is no more plenty in it, it goes much
against my stomach.
1t is worth while to observe that the pre-
ponderance is given by the Standard to the
rather startling conclusion that money is
scarce because-it is not scarce!

A Cosy Town.

A California paper, ambitious to keep
mn the reputation OF its State for natural
land unnaturaD wonders, gives an idea Of
The depth Of the snow on the Sierra Ne
vada mountains in February and March,
bv describing visit Of merchant, named
Adams, from the valley 10 the mining
town Of Meadow Lake, on the top OF the
mountains: aE.
"He secured pair Of snow shoes, and
took the track Of some parties who had
gone over the day before. After some
hours Of hard travel, he arrived where the
town should be, but not house was yisi
BILE. While be was looking around, man
suddenly came up out Of the snow, like q
norman out OF the sea. Adams asked
was, not knowing, as yet, whether the OBJ
ject before him was man or spirit
"Why," said the fellow, "you are right on
the plaza" Adams asked him il he could
show him where the store Of Adams Il
johnson was. "oh, yes! come along" A
few shoves on pair Of snow shoes soon
brought them TO round hole in the snow,
and Adams was told that that was the hole
which led to the store. There were stairs
made in the snow like spiral stairway
twisting several times around the hole in
making the descent Finally he arrived at
the bottom, and was astonished TO find his
friends there, happy and gay, and ready to
vouch for the country being one Of the
richest ever discovered. From the store
they travelled over town through tunnels.
Every one seemed TO be contented with his
lot. Tho citizens seldom 60 on top Of the
snow, except when there is snow-shoe
race, at which time the whole town turns
out"
This ought to satisfy even the imagina-
tion Of Californian.
