SPRING TIME.
bt am uiiu.
«Tba sold, whit* *bow ho* fbdefl hit
And Hilled now i« the wintry bind ;
When ent it lay, thnt cold, dull mow,
The file, pink primrose now doth blow,
With meekness, blushing in the wood,
The fiat «f her feir sisterhood.
“The rirniet's icy ehsins nr* bnrst;
11* flows in joy end peace at first,
Then bnbbling sport* in marry glee
And sings alond at being free,
And whisper* to that sproutiug grass,
'Come wear* a carpet where I pass.’
“The riolets, tinted like the sky,
them freshly fallen from on high,
And bloom in every shady nook ;
Fair Spring through those blue eyes doth
look
Upon the gladsome, happy earth,
To whieh she bringeth joy and mirth.
“ ’Midst purple clover grass the herds,
'Midst fresh green branches sing the birds,
And now the heart, too, growelh gay,
Throw* off old sorrows day by day,
And praiseth God with gladness rife,
For Spring and flowers and earth and
lifer
The Bankrupt Bill.
The bankrupt bill, which the telegraph
announces was passed on Saturday, and
only awaits the signature of the Presi
dent to become a law, is very long, but
the following will be found to comprise
the important provisions :
Sec. 11. Prescribes the method of
availing of the act.
Any debtor whose debts, provable
under the act, amouut to over three
huudred dollars, may petition the dis
trict Judge of his district, stating his
insolvency, his willingness to surrender
his estate and a schedule under oath ot
his debts and his creditors, with the
nature of the debt in full, and an inven
tory, also under oath, of his assets.
Such petitiou shall be an act of bank
ruptcy, and the petitioner be adjudged
a bankrupt. The Judge shall there
upon issue a warrant, (or the Register,
if there be no opposing party,) directed
to the United States Marshall of said
district, authorizing him to publish the
necessary notices, to wit: 1. That a
warrant in bankruprey has been issued.
2. That all payment of debts to such
debtor are forbidden. 3. That a meet
ing of the creditors to prove debts and
choose assignees, will be held in a court
of bankruptcy, not less than ten, or
more than ninety days after the issuing
of the warrant.
Ssc. 14. Directs that tlie Judge (or if
there is no opposing interest the Regis
ter), shall convey to the assignee or
assignees the entire real and personal
estate of the bankrupt, but from this
assignment are excepted household and
kitchen lurniture, and such other articles ’
as the assignee may indicate, not ex
ceeding five hundred dollars in value,
the wearing apparel of the bankrupt and
his tamily, his uniform and arms,
and other property hereafter ex
empted from attachment or levy by
United States laws.
Sec. 27. Prescribes that all creditors,
who prove their debts, shall share alike,
except that wages to ati amount not
exceeding SSO, for services performed
in the preceding six months shall be
paid in full.
Sec. 28. Prevents the priority ot debts.
Sxc. 29. Allows ihe bankrupt, after
six months from the adjudication of
bankruptcy, or if no debts or assets
within sixty days, to apply for his dis
charge, which the court, after due notice,
shall grant, if the bankrupt has honestly
exhibited his condition
Sec. 30. Prohibits a second bank
ruptev, unless by consent of creditors—
except where the assets amounts to
seventy per cent, of the debts.
Secs. 31 to 39. Concert details pro
nounces against fraud and the like.
Sec. 39. Provides for involuntary
bankruptcy, declaring that an abscond
ing debtor who makes assignments to
defraud, against whom an unsatisfied
execution for over one hundred dollars
stands, who makes an assignment to
give preference to special creditors, or
who has suspended :or fourteen days,
the payment of his commercial paper
shall, on the petition of any creditor, be
adjudged a bankrupt.
