From the (i Path of Life , Firmness of Religious Principle. Frank Edwards, a young married man, em ployed as a machinist in an English manufactory, was converted to Christ. His conversion was gen uine, affecting, both, heart and life. Very delightful was the first experience of that 'young man. A good workman, he enjoyed con stant employment, withwages sufficient to procure the comforts of life. He had a thrifty wife, who was led to Jesus by his 'own influence. TKeir cot tage was the house of prayer. Religion, plenty, health and contentment dwelt with them ; probably there was not another home in England more pleasant than that of this young, pious mechanic. But piety was not an effectual shield to defend • from trouble. It supports—gloriously supports the sufferer—but his path to heaven is appointed to lead through u much tribulation.” As in nature the storm cloud gathers in the horizon, while the sun shines with splendor in the heavens, so in the king dom of grace, while the child of God rejoices in ease and prosperity, and ascends the summit oi Pisgah, he may rest assured that events are in prep aration, which may hurl him down to the vale of Baca—to the place of weeping and lamentation. It was thus with Frank Edwards and his happy fam ily. In the midst of their prosperity, adversity . looked in at their cottage door—poverty sat down at their table. Let us trace the cause of their trouble. One day the machinery of the mill broke, and its operations were stopped.. All of the hands were set to repairing it with the utmost haste. The week was closing, and the work was unfinished. , On Saturday evening the overseer entered, and! said to the men, “ you must work all day to-mor-l row.” i Frank instantly remembered the fourth com-! mandment. He resolved to keep it, because he felt! that his duty to God required him under all cir cumstances, to refrain from labor on the Sabbath day. Offering an inward prayer to God, he respect fully addressed the overseer: “ sir, to-morrow will be Sunday.” • “I know it, but our mill must be repaired.” . “Will you excuse me, sir, from working on the Sabbath ?” ' “ No, Frank, X can’t excuse any one. The com pany will give you double wages, and you must work.” “I am sorry, sir, but I cannot work to-morrow.” “Why not, Mr. Edwards? You know our ne cessities, and we offer you a fair remuneration.” “ Sir, it will be a sin against God, and no neces sity is strong enough—no price is high enough, to induce me to offend my Maker any more. - ’ | ‘f I am not here to argue the morality of the! question, Frank] you must either work to-morrow,! or be discharged.” I “ I cannot hesitate, sir, aunoment; I have resolved! to please God. Cost what earthly price it may, Is will keep his commandments.” I u Then, Mr. Edwards, it you step into the count ing-room, I will pay you what the company owes you, and you will then leave our establishment.” To-say that Frank’s heart did not shrink from this-trial, would be to deny bis humility ; but his faith came to his help. Casting himself upon God, he gathered up his tools, and entered the'counting ro’om. The overseer was extremely unwilling to parti with Frank, for he was a superior workman, and since his conversion, had been the most trusty man in the employment of the company: He therefore addressed him very kindly while handing him his wages: “ Mr. Edwards, had you not better recon sider your resolution? Remember, work is scarce, we fcay you high wages, and it is not often we re quire you to labor on the Sabbath. 5 ' “ Sir,” replied Frank, “my mind is fixed—l will not work on Sundays, if I have to starve to death.” “ Very well, sir,” was the cool answer of the overseer, who, not being a Christian, could not ap preciate the noble heroism of Frank's reply. 5 ' On reaching his humble cottage, the mechanic could not forbear a sigh, ,as the thought flitted across his mind that, possibly, he might soon lose his hoft\e and comforts. Butthat sigh was momen tary ; he*remembered the promise of God, and grew calm, peaceful. Entering his house, he said to his wife,“ Mary, lam discharged!” “ Discharged, Frank ? What has happened ? O, what will become of us! Tell me why you are discharged!” “Be calm, Mary, God will provide ! I left the shop because I would break the sabbath. They wanted me to work to-morrow, and because I re fused, they discharged me.” Mary was silent. She looked doubtful as if not quite sure that her husband was right. Her faith was not quite so strong as Frank's, nor was hci character so decided. In her heart she thought, as thousands of fearful disciples would under similar circumstances, that her husband had gone too far 5 but although she said nothing, Frank read her thoughts; and grieved over her want of faith. £s=»Sweet was the hour of family prayer to Frank evening; sweeter still was the secret devotion of the closet, and he never closed his eyes with more heavenly ’ calmness of spirit, than when he sunk to sleep on that eventful evening. The following week brought Frank's character to severer test. All his friends condemned him; even some members of his family said they thought he had gone beyond the strict requirements of duty. “ It was well,” they said, “to keep the Sabbath, but then, a man like Frank Edwards, ofight to look at the wants of his family, and not strain a gnat, %nd perhaps he compelled to go to the work-house. This was dastardly langpg® for Christians, but there are always too many of this class of irreso lute, sight-walking disciples. Frank met them on all' sides, and found himself without sympathy. A few noble, enlightened Christians, however, admir ed and encouraged- him. Frank held to his purpose with a spirit, worthy of a martyr. The cloud grew darker. Through the influence of his former employers, who were vexed because he left ihem, the other corporations refused to em- an faster iintclluuwr. nloy him. Winter came on with its frosts and florins. His little stock of savings gradually dis ippeared. Poverty stared them in the face ; Frank's watch 1 , Mary's silver 'spoons, their best furniture, went to the auction shop. They had to leave theii pleasant cottage, and ohe little garret held the afflic ed family, and the slender remains of the cottage furniture. 1 Did Frank regret his devotion to God? No, he ejoiced in it. He had obeyed God, he said, and God would take care of him. Light would break jut of darkness; all would yet be well. So spoke his unyielding faith : his fixed heart doubted not. The blacker the cloud, the more piercing grew'the ?ye of his triumphant faith. With his Mary the case was different. Her faith was weak, and pres sing her babes to her bosom, she often wept, and bent before the sweeping storm. The winter passed away, and Frank was still in the fiery furnace, rejpicing, however, amidst the flames. Some friends offered him the means of emigrating to the United States. Here was a light sleam.. He rejoiced in it, and prepared to quit a place which refused him bread because he feared God. Behold him—that martyr mechanic, on board the emigrant ship. Her white sails catch the favoring breeze, and with a souTfull of hope, Frank looked toward this western world. A short, pleasant pas. sage brought them to one of our Atlantic cities. Here he soon found that his faith had not been misplaced. The first week of his arrival saw him not merely employed, but filling the station of fore man in the establishment of some extensive ma chinists, Prosperity now smiled on Frank, and Mary once more rejoiced in the possession of home and comforts. They lived in a style far better and more comforta ble than when in their English cottage. “ Mary," Prank would often ask, pointing to their charming little parlor, “is it not hest to obey God ?” Mary could only reply to this question with smiles and tears; for everything around them said. •Blessed is that man that maketh Lord his trust md respcctcth not the proud; surely, lie shall nol be moved forever.” But Frank’s trials were not over. A similar claim lor Sabbath labor was made upon him in his new sit-j nation. An engine for a railroad or steamboat was! broken, and must be repaired. “You will keep! your men employed through to-morrow, so that the! engine may be finished on Monday morrfing,” said! the chief overseer. “I cannot do it, sir. I cannot break the Lord'd Jay; 1 will work until midnight on Saturday, and begin directly after midnight on Monday morning. God's holy time I will not touch.” “ That won't do, Mr. Edwards, you must work! lyour men through the Sabbath or the .owners will] [dismiss you.” I “Be it so, sir.” replied Frank, “ I crossed the At llantic because I would not work- on the Sabbath ][ will not do it here.” v I Monday came, the work was unfinished. Frank [expected his discharge. While at work a gentleman! enquired for him, “I wish you to go with me to] “to take charge of my establishment, will! you go { “I don’t know,” replied Frank. “If,as I expect.! my present employers dismiss me, I will, go; if] they do not. I have no wish to leave.” 1 “ This is settled. They intend to dismiss you,] and I know the reasofi. I honor you for it. and wish you to enter my establishment.” Here again our mechanic saw the hand of God. His decision had again brought him into trouble, land God had come to his aid. The new situation Iter which he had just engaged was worth much [more than the one he was to leave. God had kept [hi&jpromise. . From the Lancaster Union e 5 in. ' : id 2 in. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MOR tainly more inveterate than rational, in favor ofj limitations as opposed to conditions of this descrip tion, but n review of the cases on which this dis tinction is supposed to exist is dispensed with! because the case before us is the case of a con dition. It may not be amiss,however, to remark that the Vice Chancellor of England, so late m Nov. 1846, without taking notice of the supposed distinction in favor of limitations, held in general terms that “ all limitations in restriction of mar riage were objectionable.” Elizabeth Castle’* case. L. Jurist. Dec. 26, 1846. A condition precedent stands on peculiar ground, and has been sustained upon the technical prin ciple that the estate does mt vest until the con dition is performed. But the decisions on tliif branch of the law are also thrown out of consid eration, because the ca c e upon this record it; ilm' >f a condition subsapient. The estate lias ve-ted. ind is not divested by a disregard of the con lition, if the latter be against the policy ot the -aw. The adjudications on condition requiring the consent of parents, or others standing in their place stand also upon a principle not involved in thi case before us. There may be circumstances tc justify a reasonable restriction of this nature, tr iuard youthful indiscretion against imposition. But wherever no sufficient reason exists foj withholding consent, or the consent itself is re quired for the purpose of restraining the mar riage, the condition is disregarded. 2 Atk. 291. Ambl. 662. A restraint even for six years, with out justifiable reason for it, lias been considered as falling within the prohibition. 10 East. 22. It has been held that a devise over to a secon dary devisee upon the violation of the condition, was a circumstance which would justify the [Courts in sustaining conditions of this kind.— This circumstance cannot relieve a condition in restraint of marriage from the objections founded upon the great principle of public policy involv ed ; and it is rapidly losing its power, ns the light breaks upon the judicial mind. It has been held that a residuary clause—or a devise over without a particular description of the property] to pass by it, will nut enable the courts to eu-l force the forfeiture. A devise over to the heir all law will be equally inoperative. 6 Mass. L69.J A devise which does not create an interest to4ake| effect immediately upon the happening of J-Kecon-J tingency will be equally ineffectual. Ah. The] decisions in which these m-incipleyhave been] .announced may be recorded as/the vigorous! struggles of the common law tn'froe itself from] a doctriuo resting upon no substantial foundation.) But wo are not controlled by the cases on thi* branch of the subject, because we have hero no devise over upon the happening of the forbidden contingency. The devise over presupposes the enjoyment of the' estate by the widow “ during ror /{/}’,” and is'to take effect, not upon her map triage, hut “ after her death." Distinctions,"resting upon theqiiestiou wheth er the legacy is payable out of the real or jierson lu/ estate, are said to exist. But Mr. Justice Keu jnedy, in au able opinionjdelivered in the ease of [MiddleUm v. Rice-(() Peuii. Law Jonr. 231) cite* [from Mr. Jarman’s tijitiou of Powell on Devise* 1(2 vol. 291) the opinion there given that “ cvei l pin regard to reiu estate it seems generally ad-1 r mitted that nnr/ualifitd restrictions on mavringel j- are void.” And the learned judge further rc-l [murks that “ this is the universal opinion entcr-B “ taiued by judicial men on this point.” 6 Penn.l [Law Journal 23-1. I I It may well be doubted whether the English! [decisions, so far as they, in uny respect, counte-B [nance restrictions upon marriage, are applicable [to the exigencies of a newly established nation. [Possessing an extent of uncultivated territory al [inust unlimited, aud relying upon the increase ol [population as the chief element of national [strength, it would seem to be the policy of this [country to discountenance every restraint, upon [that legitimate intercourse which results iu the [reproduction of the human race. Our ancestors Jmay be considered as having brought with them Ithe wholesome doctrines of the common law ■without the embarrassments produced by depar tures from its principles under the constraint ot ■circumstances peculiar to a country already over istocked with inhabitants. A principle which iffenerally governed the common law courts is ■that “ if a portion be given, in consideration that j-‘ the daughter should never marry, such a con “ dition should be rejected as repugnant to the “ original institution of mankind.” Com. R. 719. Aud the doctrine which prevailed in the Ecclesiastical courts was that “ all condition* “ against the liberty of marriage are unlawful a* “ being a restraint on the natural liberty of man kind and an hindrance to the propogation of the •‘Species.” 4 Burns’ Ecc. Law. 159. Marriage is a wise regulation in harmony with nature and religion, and is the only efficient pre ventive of licentiousness. The happiness of the parties and the interests of society require thai it should be free from either coercion or restraint.! Bonds to procure and contracts and conditions t< 8 restrain are alike forbidden. It is the appropri-1 ate regulation of that great instinct of nature I which was designed by the creator to replenish! the Earth. It is upon this authorized union tha 1 all civilized nations depeud for their prosperity [ in peace and their defence in war. [ The principle of reproduction stands next ii.fl importance to its elder born correlative, sell] preservation, and is equally a fundamental kiw of] existence. It is the blessing which teinperedj with mercy the justice of expulsion from Para-| dise. It was impressed upon the human creation] by a beneficicnt Providence to multiply the im-[ ages of himself and thus to promote his own] glory and the happiness of his creatures. Not] man alone, but the whole animal aud vegetable! kingdom, are under an imperious necessity toj obey its mandates. From the lord of the forest! to the monster of the deep—from the subtlety of] the serpent to the innocence of the dove—from] the elastic embrace of the mountain kalmia toj the descending fructification of the lily of the] plain, all nature bows submissively to this pri-| meval law. Even the flowers which perfume] the air with their fragrance and decorate thej forests and fields with their hues, are but '• cur-j tains to the nuptial bed.” J The principles of morality—the policy of the nation—the doctrines of the common law—the law of nature and the law of God unite in con demning as void the condition attempted to. be imposed by this testator upon his widow. Let judgment be entered for the defendant. Messrs. I’urke and Hiester, counsel for Pltff. Mr. McElroy, counsel for Deft. Our Children in Heaven. As the shepherd thought more of the sheep that was lost, than of the ninety and nine that were! safe ; as the woman scarcely realized the value of the nine pieces of silver that remained in bar casket in the anxiety for one that was missing;—so it has ever seemed to the bereaved parent, that the flow ers which Heaven claims in the spring-time of in fancy. arc fairer and sweeter than any that survive the early blight, to blossom and bear fruit in the chilly atmosphere of time. If flowers on earth, exposed to blight, And withering long before their prime, Appear so passing sweet and bright, Amid the dim cold waste of time; How wond’rous, how surpassing fair, How redolent of lifo and love, Must those, whom Heaven had called, appear.

From all parts of the State, says that spiritedj journal, the Mississippian , we have intelligence ofj the most gratifying; character, touching the recep-J tion of the nomination of Cass and Butler. Mr.l George W. L.

In the piney woods, or eastern counties, the same generous spirit prevails. We have before us a letter from a sterling Democrat in Marion County, who says “ never did nomina tions meet with a more hearty response than do the nominations of Cass and Butler in old Marion.” AU is well, so far, in Mississippi—but we must not relax our exertions.

We have had a chance to witness its effects upon some of our friends, which in addition to the high encomiums passed upon by our brethren of the press, not in paid puffs, but in honest candid state ments, from having derived a benefit themselves, maßes us desirous of advising all those who have occasion to resort to a remedy for pulmonaryaffec tions, to avail themselves of it. We have too much confidence in Mr. Fowle, the proprietor, to believe he would thrust this, or any other medicine upon the community, unless he had fullfaith in its efficacy —in confirmation of which the proprietor offers a Imass of testimony from the most, unquestionable sources. Neither would we be understood as say ing that this will always cure consumption after it i 3 seated, although it seldom fails to relieve the worst cases —but at this season of the year almost every body is liable to a cold, which if neglected, will lead to. fatal results—by taking this medicine, we doubt not many lives may be saved. —New Eng land Washingtonian , Boston , Jany. 2,1847.
