of which was partially OFT.
On the way home. the old man was
overlaken and passed by fast young
man, driving fssl horse and putting on
much airs. Nov, the parsons horse was
usually a quiet stesdy going animal
enough, but he could't stand that sort OF
thing; so he started after him OF the last

The Strong wind that was blowing direct.
" after the psrson, blew The -four all
over him and the horse. Al lasi the fast
young man wss left, and the village reach

checked.
In driving through street to reach his
home, he came in contscI with one OF
his descons, who was naturally surprised
10 see his minister driving s; such pace,
and signsled him 10 step.
why, Parson p said he ""ha'

Stay Law.

In regard to the extension Of the stay law,
it seems that justice requires that those
who claim the benefit Of its continuance
should, as a condition precedent, be re-
quired to pay all the costs Of suits, and
thereby indemnify the creditor for his
fruitless efforts in search Of his own. They
should also be required to give in sche-
dule or inventory Of their property-the
disposal of which should be enjoined with
suitable penalties, and the property re-
coverable and transferable to the creditor
by summary process.
The land or other property bought with
another's money or bond, though legally
the debtors, is not his morally, and he
should be restrained from alternating it
while the creditors hands are tied. In
many cases one-half lat least one-fourth)
could and should be paid up.
This hue and cry about stay law, repu-
diation, &C., has it's origin in utter de-
pravity. These same men, under reversed
circumstances, would be Shylocks with q
vengeance.
1t is dishonesty ab initio. The law offers
