Everyday 4axims.


ssss esrE5. Remember that every person, however
$3.50 low has rights and feelin g. In all con-
ten4ions, let peace be rather your object
than triumph; value triumph only as the
means of peace.
When you meet with neglect, let II
arouse you to exertion; instead OF mortl-
flying your pride, set about 1essening
those excellencies which command atten-
tion and respect.
Ia - If you desire the people to treatyou al
a gentleman, you must conduct yourself
as a gentleman should to them.
Do not attempt to frighten children
and interiors by passion. 1t does more
harm to your own character than it does
good TO them, The same thing is better
done by frmness and persuasion.
Find fault when you must find fault,
in private if possible, and some time
@ after the -offenses rather than at the
time The blamed are less inclined 70
resist when they are blamed without wit
nesses.
4es as@s Keep up the habit of being respected
and do not attempt to be more amusing
and agreeable than Ii consistent with The
preservation of respect
Don't be too severe upon yourself ano
your own feelings; keep on, don faint
be energetic the last.
If you wish to keep yonr mind clea
and body healthyy abStain from all fer

] 7 arffa8 The Rev Henry Ward Beecher, in q
recent lecture, said: 81 don't think it is
inconsistent with the teachings of Chris
+ianity for man to wear just as good
clothes as=he can afford to live in just as
good house as he can afford to build
and to make the house just as beautiful
fazas for his children as he can afford to make
it." This is the true secret of life in its
relations to wealth. and it il TO be hoped
that other speakers and writers of Mr.
Beecher's influence win assist in educat-
ing the people up to that standard, where
they will not feel that every picture or
other work of art placed in house is q
3,ses2 bit of eztrayagance to awaken quains Of
conscience that the money was not used
in some more utilitarian sense

and silver coin tender in payment of
debts, &C., but Congress can pass laws
upon such subjects, and in legislating may
adopt and enact the very principles and
terms OF an unconstitutional State law If
this State had adopted the present bank
rupt law it would have been nnconstitu-
| tlonal, as 1t lmpairs the obligation Of con-
tracts and effects the rights Of the citizens
| OF other States. Congress, however,
could adopt the very language and princi.
pies Of such State law and enact it as
national law, and such action would be
constitutional, as it would constitute a sys-
TEN of bankr uplcy uniform among the
States.
The Act of March 3rd, 1873, does not
profess, by authorization OF ratification
TO make valid the Slat., exemption laws
which are unconstitutional, but adopts the
principles of such laws and to certain ey-
tent makes them part of the general
Bankrupt law. The Act says in express
terms that the exemptions allowed the
bankrupt shall be the amount allowed by
the Constitution and laws OF each State
respectively as eriStiag in the year eighteen
hundred and seventy-one." 1t will be
observed that the Act of March Bird, 1873,
.makesa material change in re-enacting the
Act Of June sth, 1872. by substituting,
the words as er,sting in place Of the
words in force. lie is manifest from
the terms Of the Act Of March 3rd,
1873 that the object of Congress was to do
away with difficulty that arose under the
act Of June Sth, 1872, by some state court
declaring that any exemptions to debtors
IN state constitutions and laws were not IN
force as to antecedent debts, as such part
OF such laws were in conflict with the con-
stitution Of the United States. Congress
! therefore expressly declared that such state
exemptions should be valid against antece-
! dent debts; and co industrial substituted
the words as e.ristiag in place of the
words IN force. and intended that
the exemptions allowed under the bank
rupt law should be the amount de-
signated in the constitution and laws of
the States respectively IN existence in the
year 1871, even if such laws as State 2o,0s,
should be declared to be unconstitutional
by the Courts. AS the power of Congress
over the sspeet of bankruptcies is plenary
and paramount, and asits intelt is SO clearly
manifested by its action, we are of the
opinion that the Act Of March Bird, 1873, is
constitutional and must be administered in
the bankrupt courts according to its lrue
intent and meaning Enthusiastically eX-
pressed in its language.
The exceptions to the report of the as
signee are disallowed, and said report is in
all things confirmed.
