Business Laws.

The following brief capitulation of bus
mess law is worth q careful preservation,
as it contains the essence Of large amount
of legal verbiage:
1t is not legally necessary to say on a
note 'sfor value received"
a note on SUNDAY is void.
Contracts made on Sunday cannot be
enforced. rr ha
Anote by a miner is void.
A contract made with a minor is void.
A contract made with a ~lunatic is void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from a
person in a state of intoxication, cannot
be collected.
If a note is lost or stolen, it does release
the maker; he must pay it, if the con-
sideration for which it was given and the
amount can be proven.
An endorser of a note is exempt from
liability if not served with notice of dis
honor within twenty>four hours of its non
payment.
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts
of their agents.
Each individual in a partnership is re-
sponsible for the whole amount of the
debts of the firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
1t is a fraud to conceal a fraud.
The law compels no one to do impossi>
bilities. Ex A So.
An agreement without consideration is
void.
Signatures made with a lead pencil are
good in law.
A receipt for money is not always con-
elusive.
The acts of one partner bind all the
rest.

FANNY FERN ON THE PREVAILING
STYLE.-When l say that the street
dress of the majority of respectable women
of New York to-day is disgusting, L but
fcebly express my emotions. 1 say the
respectable women and yet, save to them
who know them to be such, their appear
ance leaves a wide margin for doubt.
The clown at a circus wears not a more
part colored costume in fact, his has the
advantage of being sufficiently ~''taut," to
use a nautical phrase, not to interfere
with locomotion while theirs-what with
disgusting humps upon their backs, and
big ~rosettes upon their shoulders, and loops
and folds and buttons and clasps and bows
upon their skirts, and striped satin petit
coats, all too short to hide their clumsy
ankles-and more colors and shades of
colors heaped upon n poor little fashion
ridden body than ever was gathered in
one rainbow-and all this worn without
regard to temperature or time. or place
l say this presents a spectacle which is too
disheartening to be comical. One cannot
smile at the young girls who are one day
Heaven help them Ito be wives and
mothers. sa ri

My Home.

ny home, my own dear home, &
1t is a. happy place,
Where smiles of love are frightening
Each dear familiar face,
Where parents arms enfold me
in fond embraces pressed.
Aud daily, nightly blessings
Upon the household rest.
Our morning situations,
How ~gladsomely they sound ,
And kind '.good-nights,' ut evening
Like curtains close us round. 80
The bird seeks not to wander
From its own quiet nest,
But deems it ofall places
The dearest and the best.
Home is my nest, where round me
Soft sheltering wings are spread,
And peace, and joy and gladncss,
With shade and sunlight shed.
Oh. may bring M shadow
Of sorrow, or of care,
To dim the cherry brightness
OF happy faces there

1t IL Well to Have Something to
Think About.

As a rule. there is too little thinking
done by farmers. They think of their
''hard lot"-of the isolated life they lead,
and nurse the belief that every mans Gin

We like the course of the Waltbam Farm.
ers' Club, Mass, which has published the
following topics for thought and discussion
at its meetings during the year. Other
clubs ought to initiate it. 1t will help
men TO concentrate their attention and
observation, and think with a purpose
Here is the programme for discussion in
1872:
The results of farming in 1871, and
what has been learned that will be bene-
fetal to the future.
Has the importation of foreign breeds
of cattle, horses, and other stock been a
benefit to the community?
Trades and ira lie unions: their inhu-
ence on the business of the community.
Would a combination of the farming in
terests be a benefit to their general pro s.
perity?
Woodland and forest trees: their ad
vantages or disadvantages to the farm and
community.
Farm and farmers: what are the indi-
cations of good farming? TEC EaC
Swine and poultry best breeds of each
and the best method of keeping and feed

Fruits and vegetables proper time to

them.
Mich cows: feeding and management

milk.

horses for speed, road, and farm work.

is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. Ut
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and Shiny
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine. no vermifuges, no a~nthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

A WoRD ABOUT Poor READING

A Word ABOUT PRooF READING
Every column of newspaper contains
from ten to twenty thousand distinct
peices of metal, according to the size of
the papera and type. The displacement of
a single one makes an error. Is it any
wonder that errors occur? In large offices
professional proof readers are kept, whose
practiced eyes passing twice over every
line of proof, detect most of the errors, a
boy also kept for the same purpose at the
same time reading the copy aloud. Still
mistakes are frequently occurring after
coming from such hands, and probably no
newspaper or book ever was yet published
without errors hat might be detected by
the merest novice. In book printing it is
estimated that proof reading costs half as
much as composition. In country offices
the editor generally has to be his own
foreman, printer, book-keeper and almost
everything else, and if the same care had
TO be exercised hat is deemed indispen-
sable on the best city sheets, the country
newspaper could not be published at all,
because of the expense.-Prnting Ga

A MAN WITH THREE ARMs.-W M
Jacobs, of Otsego, N. Y, has three vel
developed arms and hands, the member
extraordinary having grown above the
right shoulder blade. It hangs suspended
down the back, and can be raised and
lowered at will. In length it is shorter
than the arms proper, but possesses ex-
~traordinary muscle, which he displays
whenever occasion demands it. No per-
son meeting him would observe any de-
formity, but after being cognizant of his
case would perceive a peculiar fit of his
coat. He states hat he has often been
questioned as to why he does not place
himself on exhibition. His invariable
reply is that he is averse to public cxhibi-
tions. His father being a wealthy farmer,
he had always preferred to remain at
home, and was the most active and profit
able of the farmers help.

made Ii known as q reliable protector against
them. While adapted 20 milder forms OF disease
and to young children, IL Is ut the same time thu
most edectual remedy That can be given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. AS n provision against
sudden attacks of Group, 1t should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as NIL are some
times subject to colds and coughs, al should be
provided with this antidote for them.
