We have been asked what we will do
about it, where we send note to sub
scriber who owes more than dollar, and
he pays no attention to it. This is our
plan: If the note is not signed and re-
turned at once, we will stop the paper,
and send the account to justice of the
peace for collection. If the justice make
the money, all right; if the subscriber
beat the constable on execution, we will
then report the case in full, for future
generations.

roof that would cost less than shingle

longer than a shingle roof, will carry off
water better, and is fire proof
Mr. Graham has had much experience
in putting on iron and tin roof, and he is
nearly all the time engaged in the coun-
try at this kind of work, and putting up

A ORIGINAL PoME.

= |
Her eyes were bright,
: Her steps were light,
Her smile was soft and kind;
But Oh, she had
A habit bad
OF kicking out behind.
Her hair of gold
In ripples roll'd-
All, how those ringlets shined
With changing light,
Meath the sunbeams bright,
AS she kicked out behind.
So tightly were
Her garments, rare,
About her form entwined,
She reached in vain
To catch the "tran,"
Till she kicked it out behind
Her Augustus dear,
Though ever near,
To all her faults was blind;
He thought no wrong,
AS they tripped along,
In her kicking out behind.
Out DER the knoll
They took stroll,
To the pond with lilies lined;
That she might reach
sprig for each,
She kicked her train behind.
Alas, alas!
| That slippery grass
Was worse than lemon rind;
There came splash,
He made dash,
AS she kicked out behind
Here the editor slipped into the Office,
and kicked out behind just as the
poet was starting in on another verse.
The poem will never be finished. It's
always the way. True merit is never ap-
preciated-and the poet AYERS that the

fore he can secure his services, for an
