For a year oi two past, there has been published in this State, by B.S waist, Esq. Attorney al iiaw, in Periodical numbers, a! very valuable Work, entitled THE MAN OF BUSINESS.' The object of the" publication is to communicate a knowledge of the principles of the Law, in easy and familiar language, so that every man of com mon intelligence may, in cases of ordinary oc currence, ascertain what the Law is, without re ference to Counsel. The valuable Forks which it contains are, of themselves, worth the subscrip , tion price the Work, We subjoin a specimen oHwo fronj the publication, and may occasional ly do so hereafter : EXECUTIONS. t j 1. A growing crop is subject to Execu tion but it -must be sold on the premises. A sale made at the Court House, two miles off, was void. 2. The I purchaser of a growing crop, acquires by his purchase, a right ofnn- grat and egress, to gather, and carry it away wneia ripe. 3. when the umcer sells a growing crop, he ought to execute to the purchater a Dill ol sale ; which may be as follows: 8t1TI 01 NoBTH CABOtlKA, ?

Is a Constable bound to work the public Roads? and do military duty?" "2d. Can a Constable recover Execu Hon Cos, when he does not levy the Ex ecution r" Sd. B. was owner of !a cow, and C stood security to S for B : who save K a mortgage on the cow. S obtained Judg ment against a and C ; and B being ,m solvent, C caused D, the Constable, to levy the Execution on the ;cow that was in mortgage to K j but had never been in his possession. I his Execution was levied three days before the mortgage was out. (We suppose this means, three days before the mortgage became abso lute, the condition being forfeited.) D advertised ten days, andithen sold the cow. Neither party attended the sale, nor was there any objection started from any quarter. D had at the same time an ol der judgment in his hands, than S's ; and the proceeds or the sale were sum cient to satisfy both judgments. Is not D bound to satisfy both judgments ? and is B, C or D Under any obligation to 1C for the mortgage! ? Insert the answers in the next u Citizen" after this comes to hand if convenient. Yours with due respect, D. N. B. " answer 1st. A Constable is exempt from working the Public Roads, and also from Military rlnfr. j j , . answer 2d. A Constable is entitled i? ,: .:.u, ...ti to Execution Cpst without actually levy ing the Execution. He may demand his Execution Cost of the Plaintiff even, before he goes to hunt for property. Or, if he has an Execution in his hands, and the Defendant nays the debt before he levies, the Cost is due to the Officer from the Defendant. ; We are aware that the profession are not universally agreed on this point; but we have here stated what we conceive to be the better opinion.

Pure brandy, like any other pure spirit, nas no color. Why is French brandy only exported in oak casks ? Because when exported in chestnut casks, although shipped of a strength a bove proof, it has, when it arrived in Holland or Germany, been found consi derably under proof. Why is spirit of sugar called rum ? Because of its derivation from the last syllable of the Latin word saccharum (sugar.) Why is the spirit "gin" so called ? Because it is flavored with the berries of the juniper : inUtalian, ginebro or gin epro or ginevro ; and the French genevre, corrupted into our word geneva. Why was spirit called aqua vise ? Because the old physicians attributed to it the important property of prolong ing uie. Why does a piece of potash, dissolv ing in spirits of wine, prove it to be adul terated r Because so stronz is the attraction of the basis of potash for oxygen, that it thus discovers and decomposes the small est quantity of water in the spirit. vv hy do the workmen employed in cel lars and distilleries appear habitually in toxicated r Because the vapor of alcohol, copious ly inhaled in their lungs, produces the same effect as if it had been swallowed.

' ' . i ELOQUENCE OF BOURDALOUE. In delivering his sermons Bourdaloue used no action : Bossuet land Massillon used much : the action of the last was particularly admired. It produced an extraordinary effect, when he pronounced his funeral oration upon Lewis the Four teenth. I he church was hung with black, a magnificent mausoleum was raised .over the bier, the edifice was filled with tro phies and other memorials of the mon arch's past glories, daylight was excluded, but innumerable tapers supplied its place, and the' ceremony was attended by the most illustrious persons in the kingdom. Massillon ascended the' pu 1 pit contem plated for some moments the, scene be fore him, then raised his arms,to heaven. looked down on the scene beneath, and, after a short pause, slowly said, in a . solemn and subdued tone, 44 God only is great!" With one impulse, all the au ditory rose from their seats turned to the altar, and slowly and; reverently bowed. Those who read sermons merely for their literary merit, will generally prefer the sermons of Massillon to those of Bour daloue and Bossuer. But those who read sermons for instruction, and whose chief object in the perusal of thenvis-to.be ex cited to virtue or confirmed in her paths, will generally consider Bourdaloue as the first of preachers, and every time they peruse him, will feel new delight. When we recollect before whom Bour daloue preached j that he had for his au iditors the most luxurious court of Eu rope, and a monarch abandoned to am bition and pleasure, we shall ind it im possible not to honor the preacher for the dignified simplicity with which he uni- m m m . i ! ' I lormiy neju up to ins auuience; me seve rity of the Gospel and the scahdal of the cross. Now and then, and ever with a very bad grace, he makes an janmeaning compliment to the monarch.; On these occasions, his genius appears to desert him ; but he never disguises the morality of the Gospel, or withholds its threats. In one of tne sermons which he preached before the monarch, he described with matchless eloquence the horror of an adulterous life, its abomination in the eye of God, its scandal to man, and the pub lic and private evils which attend it; but he managed his discourse with so. much address, that he kept the king from sus pecting that the thunder of the preacher was ultimately to fall upon nun. In ge neral, Bourdaloue spoke in a' level tone ol voice, with his eyes almost; shut, ua this occasion, having wound up the atten- lion oi me monarcn aim uie auuience io . I . l 1 Al -Il the highest pitch, he paused. : The audi ence expectea loineinwg icrnuie, nuu seeraeu m iear mc ikii wuiu.

"No, sir," replied the monarch, !the preacher has done his duty- let us do ours" When the service was con cluded, the monarch walked slowly from the church, and ordered Bourdaloue into his presence. .

Bourdaloue and his friends. He then re proached him with the strong language f the sermon, and asked him what could e his motive for insulting him thus pub- icly before his subjects. Bourdaloue fell on his knees "God is my witness that jit was not my intention to insult your jMajesty ; but I am a Minister of God, and must not disguise his Wuths. What I said in my sermon, is my morning and evening prayer. May God, in his infi- J,,te mercy, grant me to seethe day when lithe greatest ot kinss shall be tne honest.

WjiSHijreToy, May 5th, 1837. At a large and respectable meeting of the Whig voters of the third Congressional District, held at the Court-house in the town of Washinerton, on Thurs day evening, the fourth of May, the undersigned were appointed a committee to inform you that you were nominated, unanimously, as the Whig candi date, to represent this district in the House of Rep resentatives in the next Congress of the United Stales. We take great pleasure in the discharge of this duty, as we have entire confidence in the sound ness of your political views, your devotion to the Constitution of the United States, and confidence in, and attachment to, our republican institutions particularly those peculiar to our section of the coun try, in which we recognise no right of others to in terfere, be their motives what they may. We also look to you with confidence, should you be elected, to relieve, as far as in your power, the present alarming state of the country, which seriously threat ens every class of individuals, and every section of the country, as well as restore to the people (the only rightful owners) the surplus in the Treasury of the united otates, which has been unconstitutionally extorted from them. ; Respectfully, Richaud Hikes, T.

Gentlemen, ' I received your note of yesterday, in forming me of my being nominated, at a respecta ble meeting of our fellow-citizens, as one whom they were desirous should be a candidate, to represent this district in the next Congress. Your letter, gen tlemen, has excited emotions of no ordinary char acter. It has been unsolicited on my part, and I had not the vanity to think of being called to so hon orable a station, when there are so many ' older and abler soldiers' among us. I. cannot disregard the wishes of those whom I so highly respect : P cannot and will not disregard the opinions of those, whose organ you are upon this occasion ; I will not be so ungrateful as to refuse my assistance in advancing and supporting correct principles. I will therefore consent io engage earnestly in the contest before us, relying upon the people of the district to Bustain the cause for which, two y eats since, they so nobly con tended. I know, and I hope all will remember, this nomination is not made to gratify the ambition, or elevate the character of the candidate, but to sustain him, as the instrument of supporting our national honor and prosperity, and for the purpose of allevi ating the present wide-spread distress. There iare many more able to represent you, but none I hope more devotedly attached to the Constitution of the United States and to our republican institutions; and above all none more anxious, that North Caro lina should receive her share of the surplus,' fropa the lands, to which she is justly entitled. I need not add, that I shall feel bound, whether in public life, or in a private station, promptly to resist the slightest interference with the peculiar institutions of the south. I shall not now enter into a detail of all my poli tical opinions ; they have been always freely and fearlessly expressed ; and I have the gratifying as surance of your letter, that they have not been dis approved. In the coming three months, the people of the district shall be satisfactorially acquainted as far as I can gratify them. Accept, Gentlemen, the assurance, that no per sonal exertions shall be spared, to support the cause m which we have engaged, no efforts untried, which shall promote the honor, safety and welfare of our beloved State ; and receive my warmest ac knowledgments for the poute and kind manner m which you have made known the wishes of the meeting. Most respectfully, Your ob L servant, EDWARD STANLY; Messrs. Richard Hives, and others. In the annexed report of a trial at the Norfolk Circuit, in England, we have a remarkable instance of the misapplica tion of the fearful penalty of death. Two boys condemned to death for robbing another of his pies and buns! Croum Court Before Mr. Justice Colt- man.- James Death, aged 15, and Rob ert Brown, 18, were indicted for rob bing John Harris, on the King's highway, of several ounces of 'bull's eyes," some Duns, poric pies, anu uiuer commouuies. Mr. Barker conducted the case. The prosecutor is a lad of the age of $3, and was employed on the 17th. No- vembe'r by his father who is a small eti- lecuoner at lsieham, to carry on a Bas ket of buns, sweets, Sic. from that, village to the town of Fordham for sale. He stayed later than usual at Fordltsm, in consequence of having found a'Tery 1 slack sale," & was turned home heavjr and heavily laden" somewhat late in the evening, f It i chanced that in his way home he had to pass along a dark arid lonely lane, and when he hati got into the midst of it, a voice under the hedge ordered him to stand ncl deliTeW5 He instantly took to his heels, followed by a donkey, on whose back were;. tw persons. Being provided with; a. Igt pair of heels, he was fast getting ihe bet ter of his pursuers, wlwn some of hisp'tes ' fell out, and he stopped to pick thcni upr when his followers came nn with- him. To his surprise he found in them 1 the prisoners, to whom he was well known. Death said they only wanted sixpenny worth of buns, and the boy in astonish ment replied, 44 Why, sure you aint go ing to buy so many ?" Buy I'? rejoined ; Death, "That's a good uh j''upon which he got off his donkey and made asnatclf - at the pies and. buns, filchtn conside rable quantity, which he and Brown ate with the utmost expedition $ the latter; had, in the mean time, stolen a pair of shoes from the basket. The poor boy went on his knees, and entreated the hungry thieves not to eat his1 giest assur ing them, with tears in his eyes, that he dared not meet his father without ''the proper quantity, or the Value of them. They not only turned a deaf ear to his prayers, but Death pulled out a knife" anu tnreatenea mm insiani ueatn unie he gave up the rest of hU'pies,'&c.' He nevertheless kept, possession of them till Brown, seizing him by the'throat, utter ed the same threat, upon which he gave up all, which they put into their pockets and hats, bull's eyes and all, and made off with, leaving him only his empty basket. The prisoners were taken on the following day, and their pockets bore unquestionable marks of, having lately had pastry and sweets in them . r The learned Judges summed up, anrf the jury found the prisoners Guilty, and sentence of death was recorded.
