OUR BABY.
Did yon ever see our baby!

Did yon ever see our baby!
Little Tot;
With her eyes SO sparkling bright,
And her skin so lily white.
Dips and cheeks of rosy light
Tell you what;
Che 10 lust the sweetest baby
In the lot.
All she is our only darling.
And to me
AL her little ways are witty;
When she sings her little ditty.
Every word is just SIS pretty
As can be;
not aaother in the city
Sweet as she.
You don't think so-you ne'er saw her!
Wish you could
See her with her playthings Gathering,
Hear her little tongue a-cbattering,
Little dancing feet come pattering,
~ Think you would
Hove her just as well as do
II you couldt
Evsry mothers only darling,
Isuppose.
IL as sweet and bright a blossom,
II q treasure to her bosom,
Il as cheering and endearing
As my Rose,
Heavenly Father, spare them to Us
ger Till life's cose.

NEWSPAPER LAWs.--We would call the special
,tteption of Post Masters and subscribers TO the
IxQuIRER to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws:
f. A Postmaster is required to give notice by
.eHer, returning paper does net answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the Office and state the reasons for its not being
taken; and neglect to do so makes the Postnas-
ter TepsoRsi5is to the publishers for the payment.
2, Any person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed to his name or another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
8. If person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearagcs, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
0lleet the whole amount, gisther Il be taken fran
fbe office NOT. There can be no legal diseontin-
uence until the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper 10 DO
stopped at certain time, and the publisher con
tnues to send, the subscriber is bound to pay for
it, u he takes It oHt Of the Post Office. The law
proceeds upon the ground that man must pay
for what he uses.
5 The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post office,
OF removing and having them unealied for is
primG Jooia evidence Of intentional fraud.

at might have been worse" is usually con-
solatory reflection, but it must be allowed that
Mr. JohnsOns eccentricities have put it to a
pretty severe test. 1t turns out, however, that
we might have had President fifty times
more unsatisfactory and unmanageable; Gov.
Swami of Maryland, for instance. We
are sure of this, because the Governor has re-
Gently made q most un-Quakerly speech in the
Quaker City, in which he was good enough to
state what he would do if he were President
of the United States and anybody should
undertake to impeach him; and if we may
credit his own assertion, he would be nightly
dangerous man to meddle with. The Governor
has no hesitation i'll declaring that he would
not stand any such nonsense. Instead
of pusilanimously yielding to the force of
circumstances and the action of the "High
Court Gov. Swami distinctly states that he
would resort to gunpowder. "As Commander
"iu-Chief," says he, with sort of suppressed
ferOcity, as Commander in Chief Of the Army
"and Navy, it would require strong force to
"drive me from my position AS we under
stand the matter, this pugnacious Governor, if
he were in the shoes of Mr.. A. Johnson, so far
from shaking therein, would resist to the death
all attempts to oust him he would garrison the
White House and lay in great stock OF pro-
visions he would remorscly slaughter whoever
came to put him out, and deal death and de-
structon to all his besegers in the most liber-
able and lamentable way. Hence we see
how lucky we are in having A.

doubling Thomas, but man capable of doing
tho most murderous execution with unrelenting
and unlimited ferocity. Ben Wade. it is un-
derstood, the Governor would annihilate with
his own hand Irather than allow that person to
enter tho Presidential Mansion. This cdidce,

mill however, will not be known until the
Controller begins to float his scrip. Possibly
the scheme may be snagged before it passes
into a law; but if so it will not be because of
but in spite of the "Retrenchment Democracy"
One other item is worth notice. The last
section of the bill in covert manner repeals
the laws requiring our tax-bills to be indorsed
by the Legislature. This would throw the whole
matter of raising money by levy into the hands
of our honest and frugal Supervisors, whose
authority to assess, collect, and expend any
amount would be complete. How much TINS
unrestricted power would reduce our burdens
we cannot guess; but, Judging from the past
history of this immaculate Board, we think it
would be better to stay in the frying pan thah
TO leap into the fire.
