"And it canr? to pass, after these things, that Abraham sat in the door of his tent about the going down of the sun, and behold a man bent with age, coming from 'the way of the wilder ness, leaning on a staff j and Abraham rose and met him; turn in,. I pray thee, and wash thy f eet, and tarry all night, and thou shalt rise yearly in the morning and go on thy way.' And the old man said, 'Nay, for I will abide under this tree.' But Abraham pressed him greatly, and lie turned and went into the tent, and Abraham4' baked unleavened bread and they did eat. And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not God, he said unto him, 'Wherefore dost thou not worskip the most high God, creator of hea ven and earth?' And the man answered and said, 4I do not worship thy God,- neither do I call upon his name: for I have made to myself a God which bideth always in mine house and provi'deth me with all things , And Abraham's i.ecii was kindled against the man, and be arose and fell upon the man, and drove him forth with blows into fche wilderness. And God called un to Abraham, sayiog, 'Abraham where is 'the stranger?' And Abraham answered andeaid, 'Lord, he wculd not worship thee, neither would he call upon thy name, therefore have I driven Liia out from, before my face intp tbe wilder ness And God said, 'Have I borne with him these hundred and ninety and eight years; and nourished bim and clothed him, notwithstand ing his rebellion against me, and couldst not thou, who art thyself a sinner, bear, with him jne sight?' . .

Postage stamps cannot be ned in payment of the duty chargeable on instruments. It is lhe duty of the maker of an inttrutnent U affix and cancel the stamp thereon.- If he neglects to do so, the party for whose use It is made mar stamp it before it is used; butin nocse can it be legally used without a tamp; and if used after the 30thofJunv, 1864, and used without a. stamp, it cannot afterwards be effectually stamped. Any failure upon the part of the maker of an instrument to appropriately stamp it, renders him , liable to a penalty of two hundred dollars. Suits are commenced in many States by other process than-, writ, viz: summons, warrant, iublica tiou, petition, &c., in wbich'case these, as the origi nal proccss,.severaily require stamps. .Writs of ecira facias are subject.to stamp doty as original processes.

The assignment of a mortgage is subject toti same stamp duty as that imposed upon the original instrument; that is to say, for erery sum offivehnn. dred dollars, or any fractional part .thereof, ofthi amount secured by the mortgage, at the time of iu assignment, there most be affixed a stamp or stampi denoting a duty of fifty cents. ' When two or.roore persons join in the execution instrument, the stamps to 'which th instra. roent is liable under the law, maybe ttffixrd an 4 cancelled by one of the patties. In conveyances of real estate, the law provide' that the stamp affined mast answer to the value of the estate on interest conveyed. No stamp is required on .any. warrant of attorne?' accompanying a bond or noli, when such bond or note has affixed thereto the stamp or stamps denot ing the duty required, and whenever nuy bond or note is secured by mortgage, but one stamp duty y required on such papers, such stamp-duty brjng'tl, highest rate required for such instruments, or either of them. In such caee, a note or memorandum ef the valne or denomination of the sump aflixej should be made upon the margin or in the acknowl. edgment of the instrument which is not stamped.
