The Bankrupt Law as Amended.

The original bankrupt law passed March
2, 1867, provided in the second clause OF
the 33d section, among other matters
therein, that Gin all proceedings in bank
ruptcy, commenced in one year from the
time this act shall 60 into operation, no
discharge shall be granted to any debtor
whose assets do not pay fifty per centum
of the claims against his estate, unless the
and value of his creditors, who have
proven their claims, is filed, etc"
BY an amendment approved July n,
1868, among other things therein contain
ed, it is provided that the above provision
and clause is hereby so amended as to
read as follows: In all proceedings in
bankruptcy commenced after the LIST OF
January, 1869, no discharge shall be grant
ed to debtor whose assets shall not be
equal to fifty per centum Of the claims
against his estate, upon which he shall be
liable as principal debtor, unless by con-
sent, ETC."
The effect of this amendment was to
extend the time to January /, 1869, for
the fling of petitions in voluntary bank
ruptcy and authorizing discharge on the
surrender of the bankrupt's effects,
whether these effects would be fifty per
centum or less, or something or nothing.
On the 14th Of July, 1870, said bank
rupt law was further amended as follows
" That the provisions Of the second clause
Of the 33d section of said act, as amended
by the first section of an act in amendment
thereof, approved July 81, 1868, shall not
apply to those debts, from which the bank
rupt seeks discharge, which were con-
tracted prior to the LIST of January, A. D.
1862"
It thus appears that debtor may now
file his petition to be declared bankrupt
and be discharged from all his debts, ex
cept debts created by fraud or embezzle
ment of the bankrupt, or his defalcation a.
public officer or while acting in any judi
ciary character" which were contracted
prior to January /, 1859, without regard
to the amount Of his assets. He can also
be discharged from all subsequent debts
mot excepted as above) if his assets equa
fifty per cent of such subsequent debts, Of
If majority of his creditors, whose
claims accrued since January 1, 1869. con
sent to such discharge. Quincy, H., Wing

The VALUE OF A MINUTE.-A small
vessel was nearing the Steep Holmes, in
the Bristol Channel. The captain stood
on the deck, his watch in his hand, his eye
fixed on it. fiAt
A terrible tempest had driven them on
ward, and the vessel was scene of de-
vastation. No one dared to ask, "E
there hope!" Silent CONSERVATION filled
every heart, made every face pale. The
wind and the tide drove the shattered
bark fiercely forward Every moment
they were hurried nearer to the sullen
rock which knew no mercy-on which
many ill-fated vessels had foundered, all
the crew perishing.
Still the captain stood motionless'
speechless, his watch in his hand. eve
are LOST" was the conviction of many
around him.
Suddenly his eye glanced across the
sea he stood erect; another moment, ana
he cried, THANK Godl we are saved
the tide has turned in one minute NOR
we should have been on the rocks |" hs
returned his chronometer, by which DC
had then measured the race between time
and tide, to his pocket; and If they never
felt it before assuredly both he and Dis
crew were on that day powerfully taught
the value of q minute.-CAi1dren's Hour.
