"The Sweet By.and.By."

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard the song which is known as "The
Sweet By-and-By." Few of them how
every, know its history. The words of
the song were composed by DR.. Fill
more Bennett, now of Richmond, Hi
nois. They were set to music by
Joseph P. Webster, now dead. The
words were written in about fifteen
minutes. Webster was a respondent
and melancholy man, and the world
seemed always to 60 wrong with him.
One day he came in, and relating some
of his sad experiences wound up by
saying: @Oh2 well, it well be all right
by-and byi' Upon the impulse Of the
moment, DR.. Bennett took up his PEN
Gil and wrote the words of song which
have heen so popular. Webster took
his fiddle, and before the day closed
the tune was arranged, and when he
finished the work he said the song
would live forever. 1t was first print
ed in the Signet Ring. published in
Chicago. and in q short time $4,000
copies of the song were sold. 1t was
afterwards printed IN sheet form, and
in the first six months 10000 copies
were sold, and since then it has had an
average sale of 10000 copes per year.
1t is also published in every hymn book
that comes out, and this privilege costs
$50.

Bits Of Common Law.

Drunkness is no excuse for crime.
The law presumes that every person,
intends to do that which he does.
A parlor gift Of personal property
must be accompanied by possessions.
The attempt to commit felony or
misdemeanor is an indictable offense.
The MORTGAGE and notthe mortgagor
must pay the fees for recording the
mortgage.
A verbal release of debt not found
ed on valuable consideration, will not
bar an action. tas8
Any one who takes possession of o
minors estate without the authority
may be held responsible as o guardian.
Ignorance Of the law is no excuse
for the commission of crime, but ig-
narance of the facts may render civil
contract voidable.
Guardians if practicable must lend
out the money of their wards on good
security and collect the interest an
nually.
A person may have his domicile in
one country or State and his citizen
ship in an other. Citizenship is not
lost or changed by residence abroad so
long as the intention to return exists.
The father is the natural guardian and
custodian of his children; but in case
of separation their custody may be
given to the mother, il the father is
from any cause unable to control or
support them.

Education Collection.

The Executive Committee of Education would
call the attention of our ministers and churches
to the collection for Education appointed by the
Assembly for the first Sabbath of November, or
as soon thereafter as practicable. Many of the
students reported for aid are almost entirely de-
pendent on the Committee. They must have
help or turn aside from their studies. We know
the crops have been cut short by the drought,
and this may lead some to curtail or entirely
omit their contributions to the Lords treasury.
This would be disastrous to our benevolent en-.
terprizes and sin against God. Now Is not
the time to relax our efforts in the Lords cause
As some may not be able to do as much as
formerly. there is all the more need that every
church and every individual Christian should do
something. Let no one say to the Lord, Il
pray thee have me excused"
Many of our students need more than their
regular appropriations. We are anxious to help
them to the extent of their actual necessities

George Alfred writes: Gen. Grant
has been taken is hand by some of his
friends since he came to New York,
and has decided not to go to Albany
to work for Conkling, which would GER
tainly have been a most extraordinary
scene for an ex-president of the United
States. Ever since Grant undertook
to run for president three times, he
has been stepping further and further
off the solid ground. If he had been
nominated, he would unquestionably
have been defeated, and in the state Of
New York there would have been 3d..
