Have the courage to do without
that which you do not need, however
much your eyes may covet it. Have
the courage to show your respect for
honesty, in whatever guise it appears;
and your contempt for dishonest dupli-
city by whOmsoever exhibited. Have
the courage to wear your old clothes
until you can pay for new ones. Have
the courage to obey your Maker at the
risk of being ridiculed by man. Have
the courage to prefer comfort and pro-
priety to fashion in all things Have
the courage to acknowledge your ig-
norance rather than to seek credit for
knowledge under false pretenses. Have
the courage to provide entertainment
for your friends within your means
not beyond.-Philddelphia Call.
The following law and law case are
taken from the records of the New
Haven Colony in 1863 The statute
says: ''WhOsoeyer shall inveigle or
draw the affections of any Made Of
Made servant, either to himself or
others, without first gaining the con-
sent of her parents, shall pay to the
plantation for the first offense forty
shillings. the second FL; for the third
he shall be imprisoned or cOrporeously
punished. Under this law, at the
court held in MAY, 1869, Jacobeth Muir.
tine and Sarah Tuttle were prosecuted
''for setting down on a chesth together,
his arms around her waste, and her
arme upon his shoulder or about his
neck. and continuing in that sinful pos
ture about half an hour, in which time
he kissed her and she kissed him. or
they kissed one another, as We witasss-
testified. "-Hdrtford Post
