The walls being property prepared this
next thing is to consider the pattern Of
the carpet In this also the rule must
be followed, of selecting small patterns
for small rooms, There is economy in
this, as well as taste, because small-pat-
termed carpets are generally found tho
most durable As rule. formal geo
metrical pattern is best for carpet; il
should be something which does not ap-
pear unnatural to tread upon 1t is
mistake to put flowers, trees, or figures
of birds or animals, into a carpet, for we
do not walk on such things; for other
are their purposes and uses Sometimes
a carpet is made to represent picture
or landscape, which is also mistake,
for it offends our notions Of propriety to
see such objects spread on aoor, In
the formal pattern, all these defects are
avoided it is not unusual to walk upon
ornamental pavemcnts or floors, and we
are not displeased at seeing varieties Of
similar ornaments reproduced in a car
pet. Those persons who have seen tho
House of Lords will remember that the
pattern Of the carpet is nothing moro
than small amber-colored star, on
deep blue ground, which, simple as it ap-
pears, harmonizes admirably with the
superb decorations of the spacious edi.
fee.
Another reason why small pattern
should be chosen is, that it suits best
with the furniture of room The fur
niture must of course cover some pors
tions of the carpet, so that if the pattern
be large, there is so much confusion be-
tween what is to be seen and what ia
hidden, that a very disagreeable effect is
produced With a small pattern, on tho
contrary, the concealing of portion by
the furniture does not spoil the effect Of
that which remains uncovered. In gen.
cral suitability the Turkey carpet is tho
best it is adapted for almost any style
of furniture, and no one ever gets tired
of it, owing to the perfect ctnaturalness and
harmony of the pattern. Let it be ro-
membered, that neither on the wall nor
on the floor should there be any ono
strong predominating color which in
lures the effect of everything else in tho
room As a rule, the color of the carpet
should be darker than that of the walls;
very light patterns are most suitable for
bedrooms.

l. Subscribers who do not give express no
ticc to the contrary, arc considered as wishing
to continue their subscription.
H. If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their papers the publisher may continue to
send them till all that is due be paid.
Ill If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible till they
have settled their bills and ordered their pa
pers discontinued
". If subscribers move to other places,
without informing the publisher, and the pa
per is sent to the former direction, they are
held responsible.
v The courts have decided that refusing
to take n paper from the office, or removing
and leaving it uncallcd for, is prima facie evi-
dencc of intentional fraud.
VI 4 Postmaster neglccting to inform
publisher when his paper is not taken from
the office, makes himself liable for his sub
scription price.

The Mighty Tree.-Clay Calhoun,
Webster.

The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, in his letter of the
9TH inst. writes as follows
"Another of the great lights of our
generation is fast passing away TO the
land of shadows. Henry Clay is dying
and thrill must pass through every
heart at the announcement of the fact.
Though his decline has been so gradual
that the public mind should have been
prepared for it, still, like Calhoun, Hen
ry Clay seems to possess so unbounded II
vitality, the spirit seemed so much stron-
ger than the flesh, that the tidings, come
when they might, would give shock
and excite surprise. OF the mighty three
who have so identified themselves with
the history of this country since the war
of 1912 down the present hour, Webster
will soon be the sole survivor But their
works will survive them, and though the
angry storms Of passionate controversy
and party hate ragged and roarcd around
them during their political pilgrimages
yet, when death has set its seal upon
them. their countrymen must award to
all of them the need of high intel

which Mr. Fillmore, though a Wing, has
