The Blue Laws.

Many OF our readers VINO nave Oh
ten heard of the Connecticut blue
laws" have probably never had an OPP
portunity of perusing that celebrated
code. The territory now comprised
in the state Of Connecticut was form
erly two colonies, Connecticut and
New Haven. The colony of Connecti-
cut was planted by emgrants from
Massachusetts and Windsor, in 1888
and Hartford and Wethersiield, 1886
&c. The other colony, styled by its
founders the dominion of New Haven,
was founded by emigrants from Eng
land in 1898 The two colonies We're
united in 1868 The statutes copied
below, are said to be from
an ancient volume relating TO the
history OF the American colonies,
were enacted by the people OF
the dominion of New Haven" and
being printed on blue paper came to
be known as blue laws.--
The governor and magistrates con
vened in general assembly, are the SUI
preme power, under God, of this in
dependent dominion.
From the determination of the as.
sembly no appeal shall be made.
The governor is amenable to the

The assembly OF the people shall

whatsoever says there is power and

Happiness.

Happiness goes out from the heart
before il comes in 1t never by any
chance stays at home. You can har-
vest 1t for the common good, but you
cannot store it for your sole individu-
al use. You can lend 1t but you can
not borrow it, you can earn it but
you cannot buy It. sou can spend it
but you cannot accumulate it. A man
must contribute TO the stock of hui
man joys before he can participate in
its profits. To seek happiness with
out giving it is futile quest, and all
our longings for what we have not
learned 10 give to others are as empty
bottles in the wine cellar OF the soul.
Happiness really never was any good
in this world but to give away
