The reply to which our friend tnkes
| Z "a E AZ 49,
exception was made to TT the particular
case in hand and not the suggestions
case no states. Col Green will remen,-
be-1. that tho query we replied to admit
| ted that the uuerlst had continued 70
receive certain paper and continued 10
| read 1t, and, II seems to us, was seeking
| a way to get out OF the payment OF
| debt that he practically admitted was
| an honest one.
The Timcs- Dispatch Ia discontinued
when the term for which 1t has been
paid expires, and therefore never has any
trouble Of the character under discus
sion. There are many journals OF one
kind and another which do not dlscon-.
tinue at expiration Of term, and 1t Is quite
likely that many. Of them do 1t With tho
Intention of bulldozlng the hfiocent re-
| ceivcr etc. Against such swlndlng con-
Germs the Postottlce Department has pro-
vided remedy BY making It tho duty OF
| tho postmaster 10 notify the publisher that
| the paper remains dead" In the post
| Office. This is done only when the bull
| dozed subscriber has refused to receive
| the paper longer than the term Of his
original subscription. When the sub
scriber thus acts he Is released OF u
legal and moral responsibility. II he acts
otherwise he Is still relieved Of legal,
but not altogether of moral RESPONSE
bility, cases Of forgetfuness being pos
slble exceptions. The law In the case,
however. Is like law pertaining to all 9th
err contracts. Liability ceases at expira-
ton Of term Of contract and new
contract is necessary to renew LIABILITY.
""There's No Pocket in a Stroud. :"
The following poem, which was recent
| ly asked for, has been furnished by
| friend at keysvillo:
| You must leave your many millions.
And the gay and festive crowd,
Though you roll In royal billions
! There's no pocket In shroud.
Whether rich or poor or proud
IaaA whether rich or poor or proud
hfRemembcr that there isn't
Any pocket In a shroud.
You'll have all this world OF glos',
with a record long and loud,
And a place in song and story,
But no pocket In your shroud.
So be lavish OF your riches
Neither vain nor cold nor proud,
And you'll gain the golden inches
In a cllme without cloud!
N. John A. Joyce.
