The "Blue Laws of Connecticut
is term applied, in derision, to
certain rules and regulations said to
have existed in the early govern
ment of New Haven Plantation.
They were adopted by the settlers as
early as 1889 1912 and imposed the
death penalty for the following Of

Witchcraft, adultery, theft, perjury,
disobedience to parents. They are
declared to have been compiled by
the Rev. Samuel Peters, but we're
generally believed to be apocryphal.
The chapter entitled "Capital
Lawes" in the code of 1850 is an al
most exact rendering of the Mosaic
Laws. The term "blue" was an
erithet applied to the Puritans in
England after the Restoration, and
was given to all those that regarded
with disfavor the RIGHTEOUSNESS of
the times. II was therefore natural
that this term of reproach should
find its way to the colonists on this
side of the Atlantic, and should be |
applied not only to persons but also
to laws, customs and institutions
tinged with the spirit of Puritanism.

Beecher's Apple Tree Panegyric.

Henry Ward Beecher on one
occasion strolled through an or
chard and fell in love with an ap-
pie tree. 1t was just about this
time of year. So impressed was
he with what he saw that on the
following Sunday morning in the
pulpit he said:
IAN apple tree in full bloom1is is
like message sent from earth to
heaven of purity and beauty. We
walk around it reverently and ad
miringly Homely as it ordinarily
is. yet now it speaks of the mu-
nificence of God better than any
other tree. The oak proclaims
strength and rugged simplicity.
The pine is-a solitary, stately fel-
low. Even in forests each tree
seems alone. and has a sad chris
tian-like pride. The elm is a
prince; grace and glory are on its
head. But none OF these speaks
such thoughts of abundance. such
prodigal and munihcent richness.
such lavish. unsparing generosity.
as. this same plain and homely
apple tree. The very glory Of
God seems resting upon it, 1t is
a little inverted hemisphere, like
that above it; and it daily mimics
with bud and bloom the stars that
nightly blossom out in the dark
ness above it. Though its hour
