name of the Holy and Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity"; the Prussian says, "I swear by God, the Almighty and omnis cient." In Servia the legislator says, " I swear by one God and with all that is ac cording to law most sacred and in this
world dearest. So help me God in this and that other world." ' Oaths were not purpos'd more than law To keep the good and just in awe, But to confine the bad and sinful Like mortal cattle in a penfold."
LOVE AND LAW. (After Robert Herrick.) BY JOHN ALBERT MACY.
Л XT' HEN Cupid's cases went astraye, He vowed he'd learne the art to pleade, And to the law-courtes tooke his waye, And learned it well indeede. So when he taught my lips to speake, I told my love most fluentlie — But Silvia ranne in fright to seeke A refuge far from me. She was afraid to heare me wooe, And never hesitate nor stammer; So Cupid saw it wo'd not doe For Love to use fine grammere.
