A Law of the Season.

By JIMMY LIND.
IT'S the sweet month Of April. The bright Spring
With rainbow wings and tresses gemmed with dew
Comes on the southern gale. From her air.t throne
Upon violet-tinted cloud, she calls
To all her thousand breszes, birds and flowers,
Her greenwoods and her free, glad waves, and they
Give answer to her summons. Joyous tones
Go up from earth's unnumbersd living lutes.
And the glad face Of teeming nature beams
With smiles and dinpes.
Ys who gaze abroad,
This day. on natures fairy LONELINESS
And listen 10 her music tones and read
These simple lines, Oh pause and ponder vel!
Within your hearts the stern and solemn truth
The moral of my briet out earnest lay,
That We are a se, Of April fools.

An overburdened heart.
Ard we may never think TO wound
Or give our brother pain;
And VI forgiv'n the frs, offence.
We may not err again.
Let no. the needless words we speak
Be treasured in the mind,
But may the dove Of peace find rest,
And in thy heart recllnei
Let not false pride uphold thee still,
But let loves voice be heard
And may it plead in earnest tones
For every unkIsd word.
And o, forget no; that life's yean
Are gliding fast away,
That time will come when earth shall claim
All of it's kindred clay.
And O, forget not, tina; when parted
By deaths approaching doom.
There is no ray OF light to shed
Forgiveness in the tomb.
IT'S sweet unto the soul 10 hear
That charming word forgive;
Il bids the stricken heart to hope,
And for brigh, love to live.
Then let US all obey that rule
Which bids Us love each other;
Which bids mankind in every case,

More Nall Complaints.

We referred, the other day, to the constant
complaints Of our subscribers in the South and
Southwest, at the vexatious delays TO which they
were subjeeted-and the difficulty Of getting the
paper at all, in many instances.
Since that editorial was published, we have
received new budget Of the same character
and subjoin two specimens more as additional
proofs of the causes Of these discontents. Both
are from postmasters. For obvious reasons we
omit the places from whence they came but
have many more Of the same sort, from other
quarters.
While the head, and some Of the members Of
the Post Office Department are touring and
travelling about in New York, Iowa, and Cuba
the mails for the Southwest seem to have caught
the same cratic inclination, and wander about
promiscuously before reaching their proper des
tnation.
Where the sin Of on ission OF commission
lies we know not; but with reference to the
cases alluded to in the two letters above, as wei
as in a multitude of similar ones, the person
whose duty it is to mail our papers is ready tc
take oath that they have been properly directed
and sent, but have been stopped in trdnsitu, II
some unaccountable way. Whether our CO.
temporaries suffer in the same way we have nc
means Of knowing; but this we do know, that

A LOTTERY PRIZE SUIT.-A case has been
occupying the superior court in Savannah, Ca,
for some days, brought in the name of George
w. Wylly against D. Payne g. Co, for the re-
covery Of the capital prize Of $4,000, alleged
to have been drawn in the Georgia State Lot
terry for the benefit of the Independent Fire
Company of Augusta. WILLY was the agent
of d. Payne & Co., and brought suit against
them for the money, which they had refused to
pay. Judge Jackson pronounced his decision
granting the motion for non-suit, on the ground
that the plaintiff could not become the holder of
the ticket consistently with his position.
