History Of the H06eas Corpus.

| About $50 years ago on an island mcd0w in
the River Thames, still known as Runnymede,
on the 18th OF August, the iron-clad friends OF
| freedom in England met King John and wrested
from him Magma Charta, the great charta Of Eng
| sh Liberty. 1t contained these words mo
man shall be arrested, imprisoned, or deprived
| of his own free household, or of bis liberties or
OF his own free customs, or outlawed and ban
ished, or injured in any manner nor will we
pass sentence upon him, nor send trial upon him
unless by the legal judgment of his peers, by the
land" This is the great germ of our civil lib
erty.
1t was defended in England by many bloody
wars and has been ratified by many acts of Par
lament of England would dare in any way to
restrict the privilege of the habeas corpus. 1t
was engrafted as a fundamental principal in our
Constitution and our forefathers believed it to
be sure guarantee for the rights of future gen
erationS.
About six years before the Federal Constitution
was adopted remarkable prophecy was uttered
under the follwing circumstances In 1880,
Henry Laurence, former President Of the Cont-
MENTAL Congress, was sent as Minister to Holland.
On his way, he was captured and imprisoned
in the Tower of London for fourteen months.
When Lord Shelburne became Premier, Lau-
renee was brought up on habeas corpus and re-
leased. After his release he dined with Lord
Shelburne when the conversation turned
on the separation of the two countries. Lord
Shelburne remarked, 81 am sorry for your peo-
ple." "Why so ?' asked Laurence. ''They
will lose the habeas corpus" was the reply
'Lose the habeas corpus p said Laurence, in as
constituent. "Yes,' said Lord Shelburne
"We purchased it with centuries of wrangling,
many years of fighting, and had it confirmed by
at least fifty acts Of Parliament.
''All this taught the nation its value and it
al,
party will ever dare trample on it. Your people
will pick it up and attempt to use it, but having
cost them nothing, they will not know how to
to appreciate it, At the first great internal feud
that you have the majority will trample upon it,
and so will 60 your liberty"

RATHER OBLlvIoUs.-At revival excitement

Ancient History of the Mule.

The mule seems to have been used by the an
clients in a great variety of ways but what
should have prompted his production must for
ever remain mystery. That they early dis
covered his great usefulness in making long jour-
| neys, climbing mountains, and crossing deserts
of burning sand, when subsistence and water
were scarce, and horses would have persisted is
we'll established. That he could soon recover
from the severe effects of these long and trying
Journeys must also have been of great value in
their eyes. But however much they valued him
for his usefulness, they seem not to have had the
slightest veneration for him, as they had for some
other animals / am led to believe, then, that it
was his great usefulness in crossing the sandy
deserts that led to his production. 1t is proof,
also, that where the ass was at hand there also
was the horse, or the mule could not have been
produced. Any people with sufficient knowledge
to produce thasnuIe would also have had sufficient
knowledge to discover the difference between him
and the horse, and would have given the pre-
ference to the horse in all service except that
have just described. And yet in the early history
of the world, we find of rank, and even
rulers using them on state and similar occasions
and this when it might have been supposed that
the horse, being the nobler animal, would have
made more display.
The Scriptures tell us that Absaom, when be
led the rebel hosts against his father David, rode
himself by the hair of his head. Then, again,
we hear of the mule at the inauguration of King
Solomon. II is but reasonable to suppose that
the horse would have been used on that great
occasion, had be been present. On the other
hand is not reasonable to suppose that the ass,
or anything pertaining to him, was held in high
esteem by nation that believed they were COM
manded by God, through their prophet Moses,
not to work the OK and the ass together. 1t must
be Inferred from this that the ass was not held in
very high esteem, and that the prohibition was
not for the purpose of not degrading the OK, he
being of that family of which the perfect males
were used for sacrafce. The ass, of course, was
never allowed 10 appear on the sacred altar. And
yet He who came to save our fallen race, and
open the gates Of heaven, and fulfil the words of
the prophet rode Il female of this apparently de-
graded race Of animals when He made his tri-
umphal march into the city Of the temple Of the
living God

In seasons when our funds arc low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
d A few supplies keep up the flow
e Of dimes departing rapidly.
But We shall see Il saddcr sight,
When duns pour in from morn till night,
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and duc-bils are arraycd,
Each seal and signature displayed;
The holders VOW they must be paid,
With threats of law and chancery.
fhcG to despair we're almost driven,
There's precious little use of livin'
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that hold it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added ON below,
Lengthening our chin foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly
'Tis so, that scarce have VIC begun
To plead for time upon a dun,
Before there comes another ono,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens-on We brave
Who would cur very bacon save,
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
And pay the Printer checrfully.
An it would yield US pleasure sweet.

Asking of us clear receipt

LIVE WITHIN Your MEANS Limited means sand
gaudy pride cannot walk hand in hand through
life-one must yield to the other or discontent
will follow. If you give ear to the silly voice OF
pride, and over-step your income, momentary
happiness may be yours, luxury may surround
you, gay display enchant you, and friends gath
er admiringy around you, but it cannot last
the truth will come-the bubble is too frail, too
brilliant to buffet life's rough winds, and in a
moment it is gone leaving you to the hand OF
misfortune, and in remorse and poverty you sink
to mourn your sad choice. On the other hand,
if you patiently listen to the modest pleadings OF
prudence and economy, and heed their counsel,
all will be we'll. Remember, the lofty house, and
spacious halls, gaudy display, jeweled and tinsel-
ed robes and fashion and follies, oftener cause
more sorrow and bitter tears and frowns and
burrows than their pleasures are worth. True,
the wealthy have their joys and happiness which
many envy. Their boarded gold and proud
titles have their favorites, but they only last while
they live within their means. But nobility OF
heart is more to be enjoyed. 1t teaches us econo-
my and self-sacrifce to bring our wants to meet
our means. While content dwelt in Eden bow
er it was Paradise, but as soon as vain desires
came whispering through its leafy groves the
happy angel took its fight, and all nature felt
the curse.

COURTESY.

In Athens, ere its sun of fame had set,
Midst pomp and show the gazing crowds were met,
Intent for ever upon something new,
The mimic wonders Of the stage to view,
So where the wide-e ex tended circus spreads.
In gathered ranks its of living heads,
Ranged in close order, rising row on row,
The void arena claims the space below.
The seats were filled, but ere the show began
A stranger entered-'twas aged man.
Awhile lac sought place with aspect mild
The polished Athcnians sat and smiled
Eyed his confusion with sidelong glance,
But kept their seats, nor rose on his advance
o for a burning blush Of deeper hue
To mark the shame of that self-glorious crew
How poor the produce of fair learning's tree
That bears fruit Of sweet humility
The grow tn of arts and sciences how vain
In hearts that feel not for another's pain
Not so the Spartan youth, whose simple school
Instillcd the plain but salutary rule
OF kindness, and whose honest souls preferred
Truth to display, performance to word
These Spartan youths had their appointed place,
Apart from Attica's distinguished race,
And rose with one accord, intent to prove
To honoured age their duty and their love;
Nor did Spartan youth his seat resume
Till the old man found due and fitting room.
Then came the sentence of reproof and praise,
Stamped with the sernness of the ancient days;
For standing full amid the assembled crowd,
The venerable stranger cried aloud ::
''The Athenians learn their duty well, but 10
The Spartaus practice what the Athenians know.
The words were good. and in vrtious cause;
They gladly earned nations glad applause;
Bnt we have surer words Of precept given
In Gods ewn book the words that came from heaven
..Be kind be courteous, be all honour shown"
