i do nol excuse them and clear them of all guilt every religious sect and party has its own sins of omission and commission to answer for as well as the puritans rut it will not do for the modern apologists of the puritans to en deavor to poison the sources of history to blacken the characters of reputable historians and to slander a numerous and respectable body of christians for the sole purpose of changing the verdict which history has rendered against the puritans of new england the chief arguments used by these apologists are that the author of the blue laws i.s an unadulterated and inconsciouablc liar and forger forgetting that frost ban croft hildreth hinmau and dozens of other historians all testify to the sub stantinl truth of everything contained in the notorious blue code of peters who did not pretend to qote the laws as con tained in that code 7 - from any book of statutes he acknowledged that they ' were mainly laws of usage and custom i churchman ang 11,1877 mr hin j man who has written a book upon the ' rlue laws says that he has gone over the collection of peters and expresses | surprise that the latter should have been bo correct and the rev a r chapin i i d a man of wonderful learning and | of great piety said that dr peters was : obliged to draw upon his recollection for | his materials while if he had had chap | ter and verse to go by as he himself had j in his controversy with dr boshwell he i would have been a severer historian for ! puritanic misdemeanors than he is al ready churchman aug 11 1877 : when 1 hear men admit tlie blaishncss of i ihe old puritan laws and then denounce ' dr peters lor all that is black in the cat alogue of ciinies charging him with hav ing vilely invented and forged a blue code 1 mn tempted to ask these self confident critics which and how many of the laws compiled by peters are forgeries and which genuine i have already shown thai the laws of a genuine code of old massachusetts were quite as bad as if not worse thai any ofthe rlue laws of the peters code aud from what investi gation 1 have given uu matter i think i can safely guarantee that for every law of peters whicli can be shown to be an error 1 can find another old puritan law which peters overlooked just as bad to put in its place it is a very easy thing for mr j hammond trumbull and the new york christian observer to call dr peters a liar and rogue hut it will in somewhat moi difficult to prove these charges dr samuel peters was born iu hebron conn in 1735 where lie lived until the year 1774 he was a highly esteemed pious and popular clergyman ofthe episcopal church he was driven out of hebron in 1774 by a cruel and blood-thirsty mob whose cruellies and barbarities indicted upon their innocent victims were enough to have : shocked the sensibilities of any man with a spark of goodness in his heart his life was threatened and but for the courage ofhis friends in hebron — who rescued him from the hands of the mob he would have been murdered lie was compelled to leave llie country with his family the ladies of which had also been grossly in sulted by this fanatical mob it was in loudon shortly after this that he wrote his geueral historj of connecticut dr peters returned to this countiy iu 1805 and died in new york in 1826 beloved and respected by all who knew him in i7!m he was elected bishop of vermont but declined to accept the office tin facts stated iu his history were not called in questiou during his lifetime and his great-grandson samuel j mccormick in an article published in the church man 1 of juue 2d 1877 says that the work was well received by the intelligent people of new england 1 have positive proof in letters to dr peters from par ties residing there at the date of its recep tion in the colony and who indorsed it as a true history at the time it was written he also says : 1 have in my possession correspondence to dr peters from 177:2 to 1626 and iu no single in stance can i find au expression that does not breathe of love gratitude and respect tliese letters are not from one class of society alone but range through all classes — from a nobleman to his slaves — and from various countries 1 would now ask could any one except those imbued with the former fanaticisms of their connecticut ancestors apply the epithet of liar and rogue to dr peters the truth is not always palatable and as the new york sun says in its comments on mr trumbull's book : the early laws of connecticut have a specially bad name it seems passing strange that as of ten as tliese very blue laws have been mentioned during the past c_ntury by so many writers and authors of high stand ing we do not find a person having the boldness to refute them upon any grounds of authority until the present time when possibly the greater portion of the documents substantiating the facts have been destroyed and all interest ia the matter has ceased to exist again he says : mr trumbull pub lishes the laws ofthe colony for the years lt 1650 aud 1656 showing t'.u.t no laws were then in technical existence like those published by dr peters but unfortu nately show ing that such laws wen in virtual existence and even quite as blue though doihed in more subtle phraseol ogy dr peters in his history says and did not similar laws still prevail over new england as the common law of the country i would have left them in si lence along with mr mathers pains conscripti and the renowned saint of mr neal to sleep io the end of time no one iml a partial and blind bigot cau pretend to say the projectors of them were men of grace justice or liberty where nothing but murders plunders and persecutions marked their steps the best apology that can be made for them is that human nature i.s everywhere tiie same and that the mitred lord and the canting puritan are equally dangerous : or that both agree in the unchristian doc trine of persecutions and contend only which shall carry them out * • all mr trumbull a efforts cannot wipe out the fanaticism bigotry and canting hypocrisy of the early settlers oi con necticut nor the cruelty ot his own an cestors toward an unoffendiug clergyman ofthe church of england by attempting to stigmatize dr peters as he has iu the work he has recently published the puritan apologists are not content ' with vilifying and defaming without any ! proof whatever the dead dr peters : but they must deliberately aud ungenerously ' call to their aid all the forces of prejudice and hate against the episeopaliaus of new england so that they nfny tie sure ofa temporary triumph the philadelphia presbyterian quoted by p contains this parapraph : the episcopalians of i new england have somehow thought it necessary that lhe puritans should be made responsible for these laws * * one of tlie episcopal journals intimated not long ago that it was in the interest of the episcopal hu reh that the genuiness of tlie lilac laws should be maintained and all : attempts to prove them forgeries resisted j and so all new england episcopacy is | willing to hear all the evidence which can [* be fished from any depth even if it be un clean which tends to the conclusion that there were milne laws " i shall be glad to be furnished by p or the presbyterian with the name niiin j ber and paragraph of an episcopal jour | nal when smh an intimation can be i found i am sure the the episcopal jour j unl referred to would be willing cheer fully to pay a large reward to any one who will discover such au intimation in any article which lias ever appeared ia its columns it is certainly a bad showing for the theory that tlie puritan i'lue laws are j forgeries and caricatures for its sup , porters to be compelled to concede that j the episcopalians of new england who certainly have some piety and love of truth among them arc unanimously con vinced of the genuineness of the blue j laws i wonder what the unitarians roman catliolies baptists and quakers of new england think about this ques tion they were persecuted under these laws much mure than the episcopalians i should like to know what the late jus tice story a massachusetts unitarian meant when he solemnly declared that puritan new england virtually establish ed an inquisition with a full share of its terrors aud violence story's miseel ,(>(', qonted by the churchman episcopa lians are by no means the only believers in the authenticity of ihe blue laws on the contrary it is only recently that any persons have la-en found willing publicly to pronounce ihem spurious ; and the lead ers in this new movement have declared themselves in a disingenous way by de n ing the existence of a code of statutes when even peters himself had admitted ihat tliese laws as a whole had never been enacted in that form the fact is that the puritans having started out with the assumption that the laws of god were in full force all over new england their magistrates and judges at the dictation of the puritan clergy not only had it in their power to interpret the meaning of but also make the law all they had to do was to say that such and such an ac tion was either in accordance with or con trary to the law of god — notwithstan ding this opiniou might at the same time be a strained unnatural and altogether false interpretation the blue laws have become historical they ue believed in by all sorts of learned men and christians their substantial truthfulness can be ' proved out ofthe mouths of the most par tial aud partisan puritan historians and chroniclers however much lie may be willing to overlook the faults aud to excuse the sins ofthe connecticut puritans i do not un del stand how more anon cau conclude ] that the laws of connecticut were indeed ; sometimes rigorous but never

but sugar — only it is done differently just the same as all printing is only types but they set them up different ways well let us begin at the beginning let us start with sugar loaf or lump sugar good white sugar of any sort how are we to make this sugar into candy into many candies we see from lozenges drops stick candy and all kinds to rock candy so unlike all the rest they are all sugar but how very different ! we must start somewhere let us take a teacup half full of boiling water and drop a lump of sugar into it it dissolves putin another lump and another j they dissolve the sugar disappears and the water becomes thick we arc making a syrup we are getting sugar in a liquid stato what was hard and white now has become liquid and transparent a great change truly now keep on adding sugar as jong as the water will dissolve any and when no more will be dissolved put the cup aside in a warm place near the stove jiang a thread in the liquid and look at it every day in a day or two or more 1 can't tell you how soon as that will depend upon the relative amount of sugar aud water you will find little bits of clear sugar sticking to the thread let them alone for several days slill keep ing the cup in a warm place and you will find the bits of sugar becoming larger and of more regular shape why it i.s rock candy ! exactly so this i.s the way in which rock candy is made just as much sugar as it will dissolve i.s put in water usually in a tub anil threads are hung in the syrup and the whole put in a warm place gradually the sugar leaves the water and gathers upon the threads xot in a shapeless mass but all in beautiful crystals more nicely formed than you could possibly make them and as clear and transparent as glass this then is tha way in which rock candy i.s made sugar after it has been dissolved in water is allowed to deposit itself slowly and quietly the regular forms it takes are called crys tals and they are always ofthe same shape whether large or small and are formed with ns much care and beauty is ifthey were diamonds or other precious stones you will ask why they form upon strings crys tals always form upon rough surfaces sooner than upon
