The earth is full of sunshine When the heart is full of glee. For the light within our spirit Shines on everything we see ; Then it finds the smallest trifies For its happiness suffice, And pleasure in the smallest thing, As in the things of peace. There is sunshine in the flowers, In the shadowy forest trees There is sunshine in the rippling brook That whispers with the breeze : 1 1 looks on us from every face, The homely aud the fair ; And the happier the spirit feels, The more it seeks its ihare. A lovely thing is sunshine, And gladdens where it falls : But more beautiful the sunny heart, That all things blessing calls That is always seeing something For which to render praise ; A spirit full of thankfulness . In all its works and ways That can pass along earth's pilgrim. And not tluuk of all untrue, To whom earih's hope seems not a shade, (Alas ! they are but few) And the bitter leaves lor others, Extracting but the sweet: For such hearts make their own happiness From every thing they meet. And they who thus unruffled Can g!:dc- down' the str eam of life. With a spirit that elastic springs From all its care and strife, Have a well of joy within them That not slightly will depart, For they bear about their Paradise, A kind and joyous heart. And are not such more happy, And more likely to be right, Than they w Lo would persuade us earth Hath nought for us but night ! For I say and 'tis a doctrine That the many will reccive There is hope lbr every one on earth. If they only will believe ! Slistflhncous. Tho Great Principles cf the Law. FP.OM BLACKSTONE OX " REAL ESTATE." Blacksicne divides Reality into three grand divisions: Lands, Tenements, and Heredita ments. " Land is a cry comprehensive term, includ ing every thing of a permanent, substantial nature. Tenement' literally means anything that may be held ; and, therefore, if a man should catch a fox by the tail, he.'d be a ' tene ment,' as long as he could hold Lir.i, but if he should get away, in the eye of the law he'd prob ably be nothing but a 'tiling in action ;' rather lively action, too, perhaps, especially if the dogs were after him. " ' Hereditaments' are of two kinds corporeal and incorporeal ; corporeal are those visible, tan gible objects ia nature that may be seen and felt, or,' as Glanville has it, they are such as affect the senses ;' therefore' if a horse should throw a man who should light on liis head and be stunned, that, according to the books, is a -uoiporeal hereditament.' 'Incorporeal heredit aments issue out of the land ;' rents and profits come under this head, and so, we suppose would fishing worms ; tho' the prophets that 4 issued out of the laud of Judea along with Saul, would not come within the definition ; but if a man should catch his coat-tail on a nail and create a rent, the nail being annexed to the freehold, and issuing too far out; would probably be in tail male, and the man would be remanded to the Court below' to have his coat mended, as the devil sows tares. Under tho name of ' Land' is comprised everything upon the surface of the earth, and under it ; and water passes under the name of land, though we don't see how a heavy rain ia any point of view, could bcconsidercd as real estate, and a practical difficulty would arise in conveying a spare acre of thunder-shower by inctcs and bounds, though, since Black stone wrptc, conveyance by water is a very com mon occurrence. ; " Trees and growing crops belong to the laud ; and punpkins, being 'attached to the Reality,' go to the heir' till they're pulled op, and then they generally go to' the piga ; bo wheat and barley ' go with the land,' and so docs the rye. unless it is made into whiskey, and then it goes best with a little water; so of the ' standing corn :' though wc don't suppose that if the pro prietor was drunk for three weeks before he sold his place, it would be such a standing corn' as that he would 4 go to the first purchaser,' unless indeed ho went to take a little something. 44 A man has a - fee' in land when it is given to 4 him and his heirs for ever,' but if he hap pens to have no heirs, it goes to the King, who stands graciously ready to nab any valuable corr.er lots, when the proper population does cot turn up. 44 4 Our Bracton' says that the word 4 fee' is derived from the Saxon word feud or fight, be cause all the tenants used to be continually fight ing for their landlords ; and in contemplation of law, were supposed to be crpetually standing out:ielo the gate, armed and equipped and ready for a LrccMS at the shortciS. notice ; these were called 'retainers,' hence our term of Retainers ; so that if John Doe retains A. B., counsellor at law, to defend him, at tho suit of Richard Ike, tb4sid V ' 6UPPSC1 t0 march about town, wi.'j-j band of "music and a battle-axe, ready to touzel, maul, and maltreat the said John Doe, to wit, at the county aforesaid and prcbably take depositions in uniform. 44 4 Estate for life, is a less estate than a fee, and may be ' created by deed;' but you cannot create an estate by deed for more than three lives, unless, perhaps, one of 'em should be a cat's and then it would probably extend to ten or eleven. 44 4 Curtesy' is an cslato for life by the 4 act of the law,' though enrtesies arc sometimes the acts cf the ghls. Curtesy is where a man marries a woir.au 4 seized of an estate or inheritance ;' and if the small-pox or seven years' itch were here ditary in the wife's family, and one of 'em should seize her, this would be a seizen by inheritance;' but first he must have children born alive, oth erwise the law says to him, 4 You ain't in.' 44 Tenant. fordife is entitled to emblements, or 4 away growing crops ;' and if a man should plant a patch of peas and potatoes, and then moe oir, in the eyes of the law, the peas and po tatoes are supposed to follow Lim; and if you looked sharp, you would doubtless see them climbing over the fence after Lim, and calling out to be dug ; the same is true of trees and shrubs, and tliis is what terrified Macbeth, so when he saw 4 Birahara-wood comi'-g to Dunsi- nane ;' for when he saw the' emblements' mov ing, lie was lawyer enough to know that there was a change going on of lauded proprietors that boded hi hi r.o good. 44 The tenant-for-Iife also 'takes' all the catnip and boccsct on his place, becau.-e they belong to lh coil ; but the law would not compel Lim to tak-. thorn, unless he wanted to, and if they woe vie into tea, Spellman thinks he could put in a little milk and sugar. A tenant-fordife is entitled to cut wood, and if the landlord should iutci fe'e and laise a lutiss, he would be com pelled to cut a stick ; but though a tcnant-Jor-life is entitled to cut wood, yet if his son should whittle the fence, or mutilate the parlor chairs, or throw down the axe, and the landlord should j come in, and they should have a regular pitched battle over the fallen furniture, it would clearly be an 4 action on the case,' aud the landlord would recover. 44 V"hen a man owns the soil, ho owns it clear up to the sky and down to the 4 other place ;' but I can't build my house so as to overhang my neighbor's, and if he has a window built so long that the memory of man doesn't run anywhere e'se, you can't stop that window up ; for it is an 4 ancient light,' and therefore, if you should go and look in at the window you would be guil ty of ' obstructing ancient lights,' and lie could tako your head off even wilh the window sill, but no farther, using no more force than was neces sary ; and if an old man should die of consump tion, that would be an 4 obstruction v ancient lights ;' but the law would not undertake to pro vide a remedy, not being an undertaker in such circumstances. How far the principle of anci ent lights extends, is, perhaps, a doubtful ques tion, as most legal questions are ; if you agree to let your neighbor keep his window open, and he so keeps it open for any length cf time, it docs not become an ' ancient light ;' and you may shut the shutters on him at any lime ; but if he opens it against your will, though you should go aud shake your fist against him every day for twenty-one years or thereabouts, it becomes an 4 ancient light' in spite cf you, and he could blov- wads out of it at you every morning, be fore breakfast, if he wanted to, and you'd have no remedy. 44 All real estate tny Lo bought and sold ; for this purpose we have real estate agents, who generally take the property as a part of their commissions ; and when property is conveyed in this way ; tho buyer is f aid to be 4 in my pur chase,' that is, if Lo pays fur it: but there is another way of comiug by property by which a man, in legal phrase, is said to le 4 iu by de scent :' but we don't suppose that if a man should tumble out of a three-story window, into a bas ket cf eels, he'd be 'in by descent' in such a manner as that he could 4 Loll the property' long. 4 Every man's land is called his ' close,' and is eupposcd to-be surrounded by an ideal, invisible boundary or wall, which exists only in the 4cye of the law,' tho law being generally wall eyed and befogged; though nobody can sec it, yet if any person oversteps this boundary, he is guilty of trespass ; and its no excuse for Lim to say he couldn't sec it, for the law says to Lim, 4 it's all in my eye, and this is a 4 trespass qmrc clau. sum f regit ;' and if a man should be chasing a rabbit, and the rabbit should run over this liue, every action of the rabbit thereafter is void ; as no one can take advantage of their own wrong, and the law would not j ermit Lim to move a step farther, though the man could easily catch him ; so if a man wore a wig, and thould sleep at a tavern and put Lis wig in his pantaloons pocket and a thief should come and steal his wig out cf Lis breeches, that would fcs a 4 tres pass quart clausun iYir,' for that he broke his 4 close, and stole his hares. 4 So, as every man's lot is thus fenced in, it is a fine old maxim of the English law, that every luan's house is Lis castle, which, says Magna Charta, 4 the King cannot enter,' therefore, . she went out to see his market gurdner, simply for the purpose of walking about, and looking at the pigs and poultry, the market gardner can slam the front d or in his face, and bet tho dogs on him, and the King couldn't lift tholatch ; for, savs Glanville, 4 where the king is concerned, trtere are no latches, and so, under the eld law the King was absolutely forbidden to enter any house in the kingdom, so that his social inter course was extremely limited: and hence the maxim, 4 Nullum occurit reci,' or the King doesn't Lave any sort of time ; and so every man's house is his castle, he has an undoubted right to for tify it, and may plant cannon in Lis door yard and pile bombs in his front parleir ; but the bombs, not being attached to tho reality, wouldn't go w ith the land, but if they went off the house would probably go with 1dm ; and so a man would have an undoubted right to maintain a regiment of cavalry for the protection cf Lis cas tle ; but the theory of the Englit-b. law is such that the king can't take the castle of Lis mean est subject ; so that if the King should turn out his whole military force, horse foot, and dragoons, and they to take a man's Louse, that man could walk out in the street and wallop the whole of 'em. 44 Such are some of those great principles on which is founded our wholo system of jurispru dence ; and it is a beautiful fictiou of the law, and one tending greatly to the increase of knowl edge, that every one is supposed to know the law ; and therefore, if a Chinese should coico lo this country, he would at once be an able law yer ; and so if any one should say to Lis honor, 4 Judge Beeswax,' he don't know any more law than a Chinaman,' it would be the highest com pliment that could be paid to Lis legal abilities." Knicksrbyelcr. Indian ETcther'a Affecticn. The ensuing incident is related by the Rev. A. Stevens m the National Magaz'ne, in his Edi torial Jottings in the West : A Chief and Lis two w ives were converted, and wish-d to join the Church. He was a truer man, and had 'a warmer heart, than was usual among Lis race. It was necessary that one ff his wive s should be put away ; they themselves, as Christian converts, saw and considered the necessity, but the process of effecting the sepa ration was heart-rending. The elctails of the process eould not be determined in the wretched family, and the missionary was sent for. He found them in the decpest'grief. One of the wives was young and beautiful both in person and character : the other was aged and infirm, but equally este-cmed for her virtues. It was settled that the latter should be retained : the other bowed her Lead and consented ; it was right ; it was the most merciful arrangement. Hut a fearful struggle remained ; the young wife was a mother ; she had an only child, an infant. The chief loved it ; it was, perhaps, to be the i -.heritor of Lis authority and honors ; he eould not part with it. 44 Never," said the missionary, "did I witness a more atrecling scene than now followed. No possible terms could be agreed upon between the contending affection of the two parents. The mother sat on the ground heart broken, he-r tears dropping upon the child that lay in her arms; the chief stood off, agonized and weeping, and the elder wife shrunk away from the scene." The missionary proposed at last, I think, that it should be decided by lot, and the child fell to the chief, but the mother clung to it. The missionary urg' d her to carry it to the arms of the chief, but .'.he could not her sobs were her only reply. He then directed the chief to take it, but the latter, overcome at the grief of its heart-kroken mother, could not step forward to do so. What was to le done ? The agreement was binding. In Indian life the father was the only sure protector of the child ; tho mother's own future marriage and protection would be affected, too, by the result. It was a painful, a heart-rending case, but had no alter native. Tho missionary had to advance to the prostrate woman, and take the chili! Lirnsclf. She reveienced his office : she believed the act necessary ; and with irrepressible tears and sobs, yielded the child ; but no sooner had he taken it from Ler bosom, and placed it in the arms cf the father, than the woman leaped toward it, and wilh outstretched hands, struggled to regain it, crying frantically, "Giveine lay child! Oh, give me my child. Do what ycu will with us, but give me roy child !" I saw the retained wife cf the Chief at the camp ; she lears the highest Christian character, and Ler husband has, I understand, maintained his christian integrity. The broken-LcarUd mo ther has found a refuge in the grave. Too Good to ue Lost. A few days since a good old lady of this city meeting a farmer in our streets on a load of hay, inquired if it was for sale ; on being answered in the affirmative, she asked him to turn Lis team around and drive to her husband's yard some quarter of a mile dis tant. Her request was complied with, and af ter reaching the barn yard, the old lady informed Lim that she only wanted a cent's worlh of hay for her hens nest, and that while he was throw ing it off, she wonld step into the house and get the chango !
