Newspaper Law.

Postmasters are required to give advice by
letter when subscriber does not take his pa
per from the Office; and give the reason for
it not being taken. Neglecting to dose, makes
the Postmaster responsible to the publisher
for payment.
"Any person who takes the paper regularly
from the Postof1ice, whether he mas subscrib.
ed Or not, is responsible for the payment Of
the subscription.
"Any one ordering his paper discontin ued
must pay all arrearages Or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made
and collect the whole amount, whether it is
taken from the office or not
''The Courts have decided that refusing to
take newspaper o. periodical from The Post
office, or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is pr;n,a yfacie evidence of Intentional
fraud"

1t is said that corsets were invented by a
butcher for the purpose Of arresting the talk
Of a scolding wife; they are certainly instru
ments of torture worthy of that sangunary
trade, and efficient in lessening respiration
and vociferation. A moments thought will
satisfy any one that this encasing of the chest
by the distortion of the ribs deprives the
person subjected to it of much OF the air re-
quired for the publication Of the blood just as
surely as if the ligature were placed around
the neck, with the additional troubles of a
laboring heart, crowded stomach, torpid
liver, and the general lassitude of muscular
inactivity.

Old Times.

There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
t comes from a cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow white foreheads are there;
A glimmering Cross aad glimmering Grow,
thorny bed and couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayea
A breath of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets scent of buds,
Bird MARBLES and cambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
ring and a sighted vow
Three golden links of q broken band.
A tiny track on the snow white sand,
A tear and sinless brow
There's a tincture of grief in the beautiful,
That sobs on the sluslbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul az it trsmbles along
From a cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn Of day,
tud it mingled with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody floweth from the far away,
And we call it now Old Times.

Father waits to greet US beyond the sea of
death. When the waves break on the shores
of the life eternal, he will come to bear US in
his arms safe to our home.
