A BENEFACrOR OF THE PoOR.-There is
a person in Rome, we'll known ameng the
lower orders, named Signnr Cavaiere
Bonanni, who was once a fashionable man
and, being quite wealthy, lived in great
style. All on a sudden tie took into his
head to act up school for poor children,
and for this purpose hunted up the most
wretched little paupers of the city and
neighborbood. These he gathered together
in a grand old hall in palace that be-
longed to him, and he began to teach them
himself. He renounced the world, and
thenceforth devoted his money and energy
to charity. He teaches the poor little
creatures all that is necessary to enable
them to earn respectable livelihood, and
has them afterwards apprenticed, at his
own expense, to trade of their own
selection. On Sunday they Assem- BILE to-

Too MUCH LAw.-The New York Daily
Bulletin informs US that the Maine Legis-
ature has rejected the bill to sell eggs Gy
reight, and in commenting upon the fact
very sensibly remarks, "lt may, or may
not, be a good thing to sell eggs by weight.
What one wonders at, is, that 1T did not
enter the heads of the egg merchants to
settle that point for themselves" The bill
above referred to is one of the ridiculous
instances, constantly occurring, of the per-
petual tendency of Governments to over
legislate. The fact that the Maine Legis
lature resisted the temptation in ttis case,
is highly creditable to that body, and we
chronicle it as shining example of self
restraint, which should be carefully noted by
all the other State Legislatures, and more
especially by that august body of national
law-makers which annually convenes at
Warrington. Legislative tinkering is as
old as history, and it is an evil which does
not seem to abate with the lapse of time.
Governmental anxiety to make unnecessary
laws, and to interfere in matters which In
no way require its attention, has perhaps
always been, and we fear will always con
tinue to be, source of annoyance, and
sometimes of mischief, to the governed
The average legislator goes to the Capitol
| "to make laws" In his honest zeal to do
| something for the good of the country, and
| to carry out the wishes and promote the
| interests of his own constituents, (not al
! ways identical with those OF the whole
community he sometimes fails to discern
| that there are some laws which he ough
| not to make, aud that, in this sense, the
things which he ought to do, are Of les
Importance than the things he should leave
uudone. Hence, the countless crude and
short sighted enactments which crowd the
statute books of every State, essaying to re-
euiate things which need n" regulation
sometimes harmlessly stupid, and a
others hurtful to the interests of the com
munity. In many cases. after years spen
in repeated enactments and amendments
it has been discovered that legislation wa
