BUSINESS LAw.--The following brief
compilation, of business law is worth
careful preservation, as it contains the
essence of large amount of legal YER
biage:
1t is not necessary to say on note
" for value relieved
Contracts made on Sunday cannot be
enforced.
A note by a minor is void.
A contract made with minor is also
void.
A contract made with a lunatic is void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from
person in state of intoxication, cannot
be collected
If note is lost or stolen it does not
release the maker; he must pay it if the
consideration for which it was given and
the amount can be proven.
An inderser of 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 it is so
stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts
Of their agents.
Each individual in partnership is re-
sponsible for the whole amount of debts
of the firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
1t is fraud to conceal fraud.
The law compels no one to do impossi-
bilities.
An agreement without consideration is
void.
Signatures made with lead pencil
are good in law.
A receipt for money is not always con-
elusive.
The acts of one partner bind all the
rest.

Charge 1t.


a simple little sentence is this, to be
6nre, and yet it may be considered as
ons Of the most insidious enemies with
which people have to deal 1t is very
pleasant to have all the little commodi-
ties offered for sale in the market, and it
is hard to deny ones self Of the same
when they can be obtained by saying
"charge it," But this habit of getting
articles, however small the charge may
be. without paying for them, keeps ones
funds in low state most Of the time.
II have no money to-day, but should
like the article very much"
Never mind, says the gentlemanly
clerk, "you are good for it"
Well, will take it, and you may
charge it."
And SO it is that little accounts are
opened at one place and another, till the
young man is surprised at his liabilities
In many instances, if the cash were
required, the purchase would not be
made, even had the person the money by
him; but to some, selling an article
charged does not seem like parting with
an equivalent.
Still, when pay day comes, as always
it does, this delusion vanishes, and a
feeling is experienced of parting with
money and receiving nothing in return.
If there is an actual necessity of max
ing a purchase, and the means are not
at hand, there is a reasonable excuse for
obtaining the same on credit; but when
the article can be dispensed with until
payment can be made, it is much to the
advantage of the purchaser to do SO.

ment OF her church, and was the sole cause
Of her name being dropped from the rolls.

OCCUPATIONS AGAINST her pastor to be unjust
