as an open one. Since writing that
paragraph tho Baltimore Sun, of Sat-
urday has come to hand, in which pa
per VIC find a report Of decision of
Judge Garey's in the Court of Com
mon Pleas, upon this very point.
"But it is not admitted that the act
did not take effect except "as to tho
appointment of the officers created
thereby and tho promulgation Of rules
, and general orders" until tho lst day
of June, 1868; but to the contrary it
will be found that the most importan.

of q discharge to bankrupt and tho
right to have him punished for II
fraud upon his creditors. AL those
rights and disabilities accrue as wei |
before the lst day of juno as after

matters of tho law. I therefore con
clude that tho act became q law in

there was only a suspension of tho re-

proceedings under the act, so that
''they should not be filed, received, or

Selected Poetry,
PERSIAN LOVESONGa

PERSIAN LOVES0NGa
ny TENEA.
Ambition is the ripencd pear,
And friendship is tho vine
Which even round ruin will
Its clinging tcndrils twine.
But love is like luscious peach
a touch its bloom destroys;
AS beautiful its blushing check,
AS sweet its tasted joys.
But ever in its inmost heart
A poison lies concealed;
And all its sweetness faded away
When Jcalousy's revealed.
And woman often breaks her teeth
Against this heart Of stono,
And, disappointed. finds in Lovo
But bitterness alone.
Oh, then. beware! go not TOO far,
Or jealousy you'll meet;
Just brush the bloom and taste the fruit
If you would find Love sweet.

IMPRovENENTs.-Someth is due in the way
Of acknowledgment TO every citizen who by I'M
proving and tastefully arranging and adorning
his house, 6 lot adds a new pleasantfcature to
the village chosen for his residence. In doing
this he adds to the pleasure and happiness of
the public, while he adds beauty and value to
his own premises. The stimulating and en-
ulating effect upon the neighborhood, is not
lost, and the influence is not unfrequently ap-
parent throughout. We call to mind various
pleasant places about our village, which are
never passed, especially at this season of the
year, without a grateful as well as gracious
feeling. OF the more recent cases of this ma
ture we have in mind that of L. S. Sherman,
Esq. His grading and arrangement OF his
grounds, his buildings and fences, and the beau
tifying with trees, shrubs and flowers, produce
an effect that hardly any one is so stoidas to no.
ticc and not be pleasantly affected by it. The
good taste displayed upon place SO PROM
ncnt, and withal so susceptible OF Improvement
is a contribution of pleasantneSS, and therefore
OF value to the ncighborhood. We may not
all have the means for so complete and thor
ough work as that noticed, but of the number of
those owning lots there are but few that may
not do something in this way. The setting of an
evergreen, either spruce or hemlOck, or an elm,
or even a row of them, costs little or nothing
but the labor the putting out Of vine or fruit
tree, ali go 10 make the world more beautiful, &,
therefore, more happy. This is consideration
iough TO stimulate to the work If, however,
we look at the matter in a more sordid light,
every dollar of outlay or labor expended in
this way, will bring return of a hundred fold.
In this connection perhaps it is well to jog
our council, and assure them of the fact, that
there are Doors in this world, who care little or
nothing that the rest of the world are engaged
in the work of softening and smoothing the
rough ways of life, who will as soon hitch a
horse to tree, as post and sometimes even
choose the tree when the post is the more han
dy, and thus mar or destroy what it has taken
years of care and thought to produce. There
should be an ordinance imposing a fine of 81, !
For this kind of vandalism. Such ordinances
exist in other places, and are found to work
well. Why should they not here?
