SEASONS OF LOVE.
BY GEO. p. MORRIS.

BY GEO. p. MORRIS.
The Spring time of love
Is both happy and gay,
For JOY sprinkles blossoms
And balm in our way;
The sky, earth, and ocean
In beauty repose,
And all the bright future
Is couleur de rose.
The Summer of love
Is the bloom of the heart,
When hill, grove, and valley
Their music impart;
And the pure glow of heaven
Is seen in fond eyes,
AS lakes show the rainbow
That's hung in the skies.
The Autumn of love
Is the season of cheer
Life's mild Indian Summer,
The smile of the year;
Which comes when the golden
Ripe harvest is stored
And yields it's own blessing
Repose and reward.
The Winter of love
Is the beam that we win,
While the storm scowls without,
From the sunshine within.
Loves reign is eternal,
The heart is his throne,
And he has all seasons
OF life for his own.

The Law of Newspapers.

I. Subscribers who do not give express no.
tee to the contrary considered as wish
Ing to continue their subscription.
,. If Subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals., the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearagcs are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the office to which they
directed, they are held responsible, till they
have settled the bill and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers remove to otherplaces with
out informing the publisher, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they held res
ponsible.
.. The Courts have decided that refusing to
take periodicals from the office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.

A New Way Of Paying Subscription.


A correspondent of the Lagrange Whig
gives the following amusing account Of the
way farmer was taught how eheaply he
could take the paper. The lesson is worth
pondering by good many men We ''wot''
[of:
..You have hens at home of COURSE
Well, | will send you my paper one year
for the proceeds of one hen for one season,
merely the proceeds. It seems preposter-
Gus to imagine the products ola single hen
Will pay the subscription; perhaps it won't
but make the offer"
"Done," exclaimed farmer B.
agree to ii" and appealed to me as wit
ness in the affair.
The farmer went away apparently much
elated with his conquest, and the editor
''went his way rejoicing"
Time rolled around, and the world re-
volved on its axis, and the sun moved its
orbit as it formerly did, the farmer receiv-
ing his paper regularly, and regaled him.
self with the information obtained from it.
He not only knew the affairs of his own
county, but became conversant upon the
leading topics of the day, and political and
financial commissions of the times. His
children delighted too, in perusing the con-
tents of their weekly visitor. In short he
said she was surprised at the progress
of himself and family in general informa-
tion."
Sometime in the month of September,
happened up again in the office, when
who should step in but our friend the far
mer.
allow do you do Mr.. B--z" said
the editor extending his hand, and his coun-
tenance lit up with bland smile, "take
chair, sir, be seated; fine weather we
have"
sYes, sir, quite fine indeed,' answered
the farmer shaking the profered paw Of
the editor, and then short silence ensued,
during which our friend B hitched
his chair back and forward, twirled his
thumb abstractly, and spit profusely.-
Starting up quickly he said addressing the
editor, Mr.. c. 81 have brought YOU
the proceeds of that hen.' 1t was anus
ing to see the peculiar expression of the ed
itor as he followed the farmer down to the
wagon. I could scarcely keep my risible
down. When at the wagon the farmer
commenced handing over to the editor the
products of the hen, which, on being coun-
ted amounted TO eight pullets, worth a shil-
ling each, and number of dozen Of eggs,
making in the aggregate at the least cal
culation 81 80, one dollar more than the
price of the paper.
s.No need" said he, "of men not taking
family newspaper, and paying for it too.
| don't miss this from my roost, yet have
paid for years subscription, and dollar
over. All folly sir, there is no man but
can take paper, it's charity sir, charity

''But," resumed the editor, will pay for
what is over the subscription. l did not
institute this as means Of profit, but
rather to convince you. l will pay you

We alluded some time ago to certain proceed
ings on the part Of one jefferson T., Martin, the
Marshal for the Western District of Virginia.
II appears thnt he has had the unbushing effron-
terry TO declare that "no man belonging to thu
Know Nothing party wns fit to be a juror, or q
witness III n court of justice" We ask the peo-
pie of Virginia what they think of such deca-
ration. Martins an appointee of the present
administration, and no doubt supposos he is car
rying out III, wishes of his masters in his course.
Read the following statement of facts from the
Romney lntegcncer-nnd then decide if such
man ought to retain an office, by virtue of which
he stigmatizes honorable Vrginians in such
terms.-R Uhig.
IAN OurRAGEouS PRoCEEDTNG.-We noticed
last week some Of tho doings of Mr.. Jefferson Il.
Martin, l. S. Marshal for the Western District
of Virginia. That gentleman is fast gaining a
notorety, which in the end will consign him to
the shades Of private life,from whence the "band
of the people will never drag him forth. We
have case in hand the truth of which is vouch-
cd for by gentleman of high respectability,
and ono who was formerly resident of this
place. One of Martins deputy Marshals sum-
moned the venerable Maj. Wagener, of Mason,
to serve upon the Jury We will premise the
statement by saying that Maj. Wagener was the
hero of Craney Island, in the war Of 1912. The
Major being i'll limited circumstances, has sis
ter residing in Clarksburg, and Marshal Points.
during his life time, was in the habit of summon
ing the Major that he could visit his sister
without much expense. But to our statement,
Maj Wagener proceeded to Clarksburg-but
Martin refused to have his name called as juror,
though he had been regularly summoned. Mr..
Wilson, the deputy Marshal, demanded Of Mar
tin his reason and was informed that Maj. w.
favored the X Ms. Wilson Immediately resign
ed his Office This Martin has been heard pub
licly to declare that mo man belonging to the
Know Nothing or American party was fit to be
juror, or for witness ina court of JUSTICE
The treatment of Maj. Wagner has been outra-
geous-that he, the old patriot, should be pro-
scribed merely >because he believed that "none
but Americans should be put on guard" If
Judge Brockenbrough, when these facts come to
his knowledge, don't instruct Martin in the law
little BETTER we will be very much mistaken
Federal interference in State politics has become
little too fashionable, and it is time that the
people should put stop toi t."
