PEARLS BY THE WAYsIDE.-A
Christian traveller tells US that nc
saw the following admonition prln'
ted on a folio sheet in an inn IN
Savho, and it was found, he learn
ed, in every house in the district
understand we'll the force of the
words-a God, amonaeat, all eternity,
a God who sees you; a moment
which flies from you; an eternity
which awaits you; God whom
you serve so i'll o moment OF
which you so little profit; an eter,
nifty which you hazard so rashly."
Christianity is not a theory, or
a speculation, but life; not a phi,
losophy OF life, but life of liv-
ing process. Try it. 1t has been
eighteen hundred yearsin existence
and has one individual left record
of the following: 81 tried it; and
it did not answer. I made the cx.
pertinent faithfully according to
the directions; and the result has
been conviction Of my own Gre
dulity.'' '''

BUSINESS LAW.

The following brief recapitulatior

be enforced.
A note made by 9 minor is voida
BILE.
A contract made with . lunatic il
void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from
o person in a state Of intoxication
cannot be collected.
If note is lost or stolen, it does
not release the maker; he must pay
it if tho consideration for which il
was given can be proven.
An endorser of q note is exempt
from liability if not served with q
notice of dishonor within twenty
four hours from 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
responsible for the whole amount OF
the debts of the firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses no
one. -
1t is fraud to conceal fraud.
The law compels no one to do i'm
possibilities.
An agreement without considera,
ton is void.
Signatures made with lead pencil
arc good in law.
Arcccipt for money is not always
conclusive.
The acts Of one partner bind all
the rest.

CARE OF PLASTs.-Some persons
think they accomplish good work
when they wrap their roses and
tender plants cery careful y III
straight straw, putting on twice as
much as is necessary "to keep then
warm" Plants will keep them
selves warm without any such inju'
dicious treatment. What they
need, and must have, is protection
from the suns rays during Winter
to prevent sudden change, that ter
rible enemy of our tender plants
The system Of wrapping in straw
drawn tightly from top to bottom
is about as bad as to give no pro
lection at all. Plants are not in,
sects, needing a 'chrysalis during
the winter; neither are they to be
smothered up under great banks OF
manure. A little bunch Of ever
green sprigs, such as the red cedar
or arbOr vitae, cut TO suit the size ol
the plauts to be shielded, the ends
s|arpened and pushed into the
soil firmly, on different sides, and
the tops tied together, or an arm
ful at leaves thrown over a hcrba.
cious plant will lie a certain protcc-
tion, just as the huge bank of ma.
nurc will be likely to prove certain
death. Best of all, scatter a few
leaves, and over them place a few
evergreen boughs. Scarcely any
even of the so-called hardy plants
but would be benefited by some
some such sensible protection dur
ing the winter months.

TWEED IN HIS PRISON.

A New York Sun reporter who
visited VIM. M. Tweed in his prls-
on at Blackwell's Island, says:
While standing in the corridor OF
one Of the wings the cell occupied
by Tweed when he arrived in the
place was pointed out by the War
den. While glancing up and down
tie long corrider the reporter saw
a large form emerging from a
cell. Keeper Macdonald was with
the man. The reporter had a full
view of him. 1t was William NJ.
Tweed. He walked quickly along
the balcony and recognized the
reporter. His face was flushed,
and he seemed much feshier than
when he first became an inmate OF
the institution. 1t was evident,
however, that his mental anguish Is
great, and thathe feels his degra-
dation terribly. His hair is very
short and his face smooth: Ills
hair is very short and his face
smooth. He wore brown panta-
looms, vest and short coat, but with
the disguise which would be com
plete in many others, no one who i'
had ever seen him would have fall
ed to recognize the man who once
carried New York in his pocket
He hurried up the staircase to the
hospital. He had been visiting a
sick convict in his cell and admin
istering medicine to him.
Dr. Partridge, who is in charge
of the prison hospital, has never
seen a more faithful orderly in the
place than Tweed. The ex-Boss
arises at six o'clock every morning
and attends to the wants of his
patients. There are seventeen con
victs on the sick list in the hospital
Those vino are able to sit up eat al
the same table with Tweed and the
head orderly. Tweed has a place
at the head of the table and hit
superior officer at the foot. AL
fare alike, and the wealthy orderly
never complains. He is as much
in earnest and as thorough in his
work as he was in other and bright
er days when he was Tammany's
chieftain, and none of the sufferers
in his care are neglected by him.
1t is astonishing, the keepers say,
to see how active he is. When a
convict is carried in with crushed
foot or injured in any way Tweed
loses no time in attending to him.
| He carries little book which con-
tains the names of the patients and
the physicians instructions about
the time when medicine must be
given them or when a bandage or
plaster should be removed and 9TH
applied. Thus "John Smith, two
pills every two hours" is never for
gotten, and Tweed's usefulness Is
apparent to all. Some think he
works so necessarily to kill time,
but he seems to take Wonderful
interest in every one in the hospi-
tai, and frequently in the middle OF
the night arises to attend to the
wants of a poor, suffering wretch.
AS the army of prisoners in the
corridors sat closely together at the
narrow wooden tables eating their
cold roast beef, soup, and bread,
William NJ. Tweed, whose sadden-
ed cogutepance plainly showed his
misery. took his seat at the head OF
the plain table in the hospital, and
tried to look cheerful as he and
hisfcllow suffering convicts ate their
scanty meal.
