by the President in this matter as an indi-

On the 26th Of February, 1850, un 'er the
State constitution of 1884, the Legislature
undertook to clolhe the Circuit Courts OF
this State with authority 10 grant priva 5
charters Of Incorporation by an act pub
lished ss ch. 254 Of the printed acts of that
session OF the General Assembly, and en-
titled "An act TO authorize the formation OF
companies, and regulate private and local
affairs, and retreocl the expenses Of legis-
lation." This act did exIr ly undertake
to do what it is TOW supposed has been
done under the new constitution. 1t pro-
vided that any number of persons, not less
than three, might asso3 3iate themselvesto-
gether for the purp So of pursuing or car
ryiDg on any brauch or branches of manu-
facturtrg, mining, mechanical, chemical, or
other business; for promoting education,
science or art; for erecting ferries or mill
dams; for estlbiishing insurance, fire, saw
ings, navigation, commercial, or agricultur-
al business; or any other pursuit, business,
or occupation, or calling, aOhich may be lao
fully carried on or engaged in, in this
State, for priUGte social, public or munich
pal purposes" The at further expressly
provided that the persons desiring to
be incorporated might file q petition
in the Circuit Court, "where the
company of the principal office of the COM
pany is located or kept" setting forth,
among other things, ''the powers, duties,
liabilities, rights aud privileges" urged, and
If it should appear to the court these provi-
sions were not repugnant to the provisions
OF the act, or TO the Constitution and laws
of the State, and tie United States, the
court was to order the company to be
formed accordingly. If the courts could be
clothed with legislative authority to create
corporations, this act was certainly broad
enough for all practical purposes.
This extraordinary acL," as it was very
appropriately styled by judge Mckinney,
came up for Judicial consideration by our
Supreme Court, and was passed upon in
the State vs.. Armstrong, Sn., 634. II

4 FALSE lDEA.-A mistaken idea is
that entertained by many that riches are
necessary to perfect happiness. 1t Is
scarcely necessary to state fact 50 well un-
dcrst TODD, that many men and women, pos
sessed of great wealth, are exceeding
ly unhappy. \ thousand things occur in
the fluctuations and busy scenes OF life to
bring sorrow and discomfort to the homes
of the rich as well as those of the poor. 1t
is in the homes of people OF moderate
means, as n rule, that happiness is found.
"puL money in thy purse" said the mer-
cenary and selfish lago. In his ostima-
ton lucre was the magic key To happiness,
to position and power-tO all that is desi-
rable on earth. Get riches. 1t is false
that fatal sentiment; delusion and II
snare. Such teachings have been the ruin
of thousands Of young meu Of the highest
promise.
\ good name is to Deferred to great rich
cs. SO runs the proverb, and the history
of the human race is the verilication OF its
truth.
The highest riches do not consist in a
princely income there is greater wealth
than this. 1t consists in good constltu-
tiou, good digestion, good heart, stout
limbs a sound mind, and a clear conscience.
Some one says good bones are better than
gold, tough muscles than silver, and nerves
that flash fire, and carry energy to every
function, are better than houses and lands.
Better than money is good disposition
aud that man is rich who has generous I'M
pulses, noble soul, and who is hopeful
and cheerful, and who has the moral cour'
