In the Mayors Court of fredericksburg, the
case of J. B. Sener Us. Wolfe, Wiseman & Co.,
for payment of advertising BILL judgment was
given for the plaintiff. The defendant had con-
tracted for one years advertising in the Ledger.
and wishing to discontinue at the end Of four
months, were adjadgcd to pay the whole am't
of the sum contracted for, and not onc-third
thereof. The reason is that largo deduction
is always made from usual rates to those who
contract to advertise by the year. On with
drawing from the contract, the advertiser must
either pay usual rates for the time he has adj
yertised, or pay the amount of the contraction
the whole year. II would be unjust to allow
him the benefit Of deduction in price on the
faith OF his continuing TO advertise for year,
unless he kept his bargain for whole year. II
he desires to be released from the bargain, hc
must also release the Editor from the deduction
founded upon the bargain and pay the regular
rates.

There comes time when we grow old,
And like sunset down the sea.
Slope gradual, and the. night winds cold
Come whispering sad and chillingly;


And locks are gray


AS winters day;
And ewes of saddcst blue behold
The leaves all weary drift away
Tie lips of faded coral say,
There comes time when we grow old.
There comes a time when JOYOUS hearts,
Which lcaped as leaps the laughing main,
Are dead to all save memory,
A prisoner in his dungeon chainI


And dawn Of day


Has passed away,
The moon hath into darkness rolled,
And by the embers wan and gray,
hear voice in whisper say,
There comes time when we grow old'
There comes time when msnhood's prime
Is shrouded in the midst of years,
And beauty, fading like dream,
Hath passed away in silent tears;


And then how darkl


But oh the spark
That kindled youth to hues OF gold
Still burns with clear and steady ray,
And fond affections, lingering. say.
There comes q time when We grow old:
There comes time when laughing spring
And golden summer cease to be,
And we put on the autumn robe
To tread the last declivityj


But now the slope,


With rosy hope,
Beyond the sunset we behold
Another dawn with fairer light,
While watches whisper through the night,
There is time when we grow old.
