In the latter law, after permitting the debtor to retain enough of his property to keep his family from suffering, we would allow hin to surrender his property to his oTeditors, aind be forever thereafter disehtar ged from their demands.

A Short Ohapter about Money. It arose in the degreoort esire by which -one thing was muro wanted than another. Thu most desired commodity was taken in exchaange.

We notice the motive of "nqtuiring it, ofloner 'vanity than tilly, y thotigti the latter is not excluded. - Bnt-4pt. outs people snek ornaments, but commonly of some lasting material, as the metals- For centuries money was weighed. The Jews, who lind no coin, always weighed-it. This survives' in the nitames o pounds, ounes, livre, nina, all dewived front weight.

'A foreign newspaper, which.devotes much attention attention to the - mo tives and movements of the Empress Carlotta, relates that when she wal on the eve of leaving Europe for Mexiqo, where she expected to rign and whence she did not elpect to return, she paid a visit to her grand-mother, .the old ex-Queen Amelie, widow of Louis-Phillippe. at Clemiont, and dutifully agkqd her ine kiajesty to give her a blessing-whic was done, with a great deal of solemnity, many tears and several pious exclaipations. She bade adieu to her uncles, the Princes of Orleans, but' observing that the Due d' Autnale, to whom the waa most attached, was silent, if not $ad, gently rallied him on his reticence. He angwered, "Well, my fair niece, what shall I say to you? You wish to occupy a throne. You have it. I pray God that you may keep It-hut in our family that is not the custom." It is not, on eithor side of the Orleans bopie. Louis Phillippe died in exile.
