THROUGH A WINDOW.
BY LOUIS CHANDLER NoULroS.

liz more at rest in my chamber,
And look through the window gain,
With eyes that are changed since the old
time,
And the sting Of an exquisite pain.
'Tis not much that see tor picture,
Through houghs that are .sreeu with
spring.
A barn with its roof gray aud messy,
And above il bird on the wing;
Or, lifting my head u thought higher,
Some hills and village know,
Aud over it all the blue heaven,
With a white cloud floating below.
ALI. once the roof was prison,
My mind and the SKY were free,
Ny thou hts with the birds went flying,
Aud my hopes were heaven to mo.
Now come from the limitless distance
Where | followed my youths wild will
Where they press the wine Of delusion
That you drink and are thirsty still;
And know why the bird with the spring
time
To the gnarled old tree comes back
He has tried the south and the summer
lie has felt what the sweet things lack
So come with sad eontentment,
With eyes that are changed see;
The roof means peace, not prison,
Aud heaven smiles down on me.

Printing of Assessors Tax List
OFFICE az rue WEEKLY CLARION,
JACKSON, Miss, March 20, 20.

OFFICE oF rnE WEEKLY CLARION,
JACKSON, Miss, March 20, 70.
Messrs. Haynie & Ward,
Editors Sun, Macon, Miss;
GENTLEMEN III your paper OF
yesterday is an editorial that would
seem To call for a few comments AT
my hands. Waving the untriend-
~ spirit thar seems to have prompt
ed, aud that peryades il, ! am very
willing To concede the point Aon
make that the county press should
do county printing. As 10 The
matter of tar lists, will say that
We have had orders filed tor two
months, FROM different counties,
which We declined to ill, because
Of probable change in the law,
involving the expense OF new
blanks aud donble labor on part of
the Assessor These orders We
have siuce filed and before OBJ
serving Your article, We had for
warded to local printing offices,
several orders lately received with
the suggestion th It ii they could
not do the work promptly, We had
the form in type.
The Revenue law provides that
the Assessors tax lists shall be-
paid Tor out OF the county treasury,
aud II is eminently proper that
county printing Offices should do
the work but why the Clarion
printing establishment should be
excluded from competition with
other offices in Jack ksou, and With
Offices in Memphis, Nash, lille, 81.
Louis and elsewhere, is a business
proposition ! cannot understand. i
have before me the price list ot an.
other Office ia Jackson oferiug ia
print tax lists for precisely the rate
charged by the Clarion, aud Yet ne
complaint has been urged against
that office. A very large propor-
lion of the blanks aud blank boohs ;
used in the public offices ia lhis
State, are furnished by cstablish'
ments in other States, and so lohs
as this is allowable, the Clarion
asks the priv ilege ot being permit
ted to comprte.
1t was not necessary that III.
Sua should remind the Clarion
OF it's obligations to the country
press.n With our press brethren
generally, We have always been
able to sustain pleasant relations,
aud rather than have these rela
tious impaired we. would draw IL
our operations to the limits OF the
First district OF Hiuds county. OuI
brethren are more reasonable, how
ever, and they will not deny to the
Clarion the right to do all worn
that comes to it in legitinna',
way. So tar as tax lists are con
cerned, | will say that we will til
no other orders except from coun
ties where there is no press, or IN
less county printing offices shonlt
request us 10 do the work for ,heu'
| | remain very truly yours,
j. l.. POWER, State Printer
