NEWSPAPER LAWS.
We would call the special attention of
Post Masters and our subscribers to the
following synopsis of the Newspaper
laws :
1. A Postmaster is required to give no.
tice by letter*.(returning a paper does not
answer the law,)- when a subscrilier does
not take his pa|>er out of the office, and
the reasons for its not being taken,
and neglect to do so makes the Postmas
ter responsible to the publishers for the
payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper from
the Post-Office, whether directed to his
name or another, or whether he has sub'
acribed or n t, is responsible for the pay.
3. If a person orders his paper discon'
tinued he must pay all arrearages; or the
publisher may continue to send it until
payment is made, ar.d collect the whole
amount, whether it be taken from the of
fice or not. There can be no legal dis
continuance until the payment is made.
4. If subscribers order the paper to be
•topped at a certain time, and the pub'
laher continues to send it, the sub criber
is bound to pay for it if lie takes it out
of the Post-Office. The law proceeds
upou the ground that a man must pay
for what lie uses.
5. The’courts have decided that refu
sing to take newspapers and periodicals
from the Post-office, or removing and
leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.

When Thou art Gone.
TO ELLEN 11. * * *
“ When thou art gone my heart is sad,"
Whatever joys my cup may fill;
The charm is flown that music had,
The brightest skies look dark and chill,
Thou cans’t not tell how much I miss
Thy greeting upon the morning wakes,
And every dream of vernal bliss,
I,ike a bright bubble, suddenly breaks.
And, aV ! not’ess when shadows fall,
Thy words of love, before I sleep,
Thy sweet caress—l miss them all,
And in my loueliness I weep.
When thou art gone, the day to me,
And the deep silence of the night,
Alike roll on, nnd thoughts of thee
Alone can make my moments bright.

REVEREND ANSALEM ANTHONY.
Iliis Venerab’e man lived in the
Eastern part of this county—near
the line of Jackson—from my
earliest recollection, until a few
j years ago, when lie removed to
Meriwether county, to live with
! one of his sons, where be died.
I ha ve no means of ascertaining
, when lie was born, or where ; but
would say that he was born not
f r from the year 1780, ana, I
think, in Georgia—probably in
Wilkes.
lie was a Baptist preacher, but
I don’t know whether he was iden
tified with the Missionary Church,
after the division, or whether he
continued with the old organiza
tion I think he was a kind of
' go-between ; holding to some of the
I doettines of the “old side,’’ and
j to some of the Missionary Church.
: I r o advocated some of the benev
[ olent institutions of the day, such
as the Bilile Society and temper
ance; but co demned Free Ala
somy, and was an uncompromi
sing opponent of this ancient I
order.
1 remember, in 1845, of staying
at his house all night, and enjoying
liis hospitality, which was a liberal
and generous one; and sat up
with him until past midnight ; our
principal conversation being in
denunciation of Masonry. I had
recently read “ Morgan’s disclo
sures,’’ and was in high vein for it.
I afterwards renounced my anti-
Masonry, while my old friend held
out against it until his dying day.
His was a deep seated prejudice,
arising from the want of a proper
knowledge of the institution and
its beautiful moral teachings. lie
never know that Clay and Jack
son, Few and Longstreet, Frank
lin and Washington, and tens of
thousands of the heb* and most
enlightened, both of Church and
State, were its votaries.
I accord to him honesty and
sincerity in his opposition; and
in bis denunciation, be thought he
was doing God service as much as
to denounce the brothel or the
grog-shop.
In the temperance reform in his 1
day, he was zealous and indefat
igable, and was a co worker with
J. S. Wilson, Dr. Alexander, j
Moses Liddell, Hosea Camp, Wm.
Montgomery, and others of the
old fathers, and was as uncom
promising in his opposition to the
“Liquor Question,” as the “straigh- !
test of the sect.' 1
An anecdote will illustrate his
character, and his strong opposi- |
tion to drinking whisky, under any
and all circumstances.
Arriving in our village early
one morning—having tarried the
previous night not far oft —he
called in at the store of one of our
merchants, who had known him
all his life, aud, after the usual
salutations, he complained of feel
ing unwell, and asked for some
water, remarking ttiat be ha#not
bad an opportunity of taking his
mnrntnif dram.
(“ WIIAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE ? ”)
His friend, Mr. S., was greatly
astonished at this, as lie had sup- j
posed he could not be induced tot
take even a “ morning drain,” j
under any circumstances; and his
countenance betrayed to the old /
gentleman that astonishment, who \
at once explained, in his soft, slow ,
and measured words, that “luj
did not mean that stinking, debas* j
ing, poisonous stuff called whisky’,
that runs men mad ; that poisons
their life-blood ; that fills owj;
jails and poorhouses; that breaks
the hearts of women and beggars
children—but he meant that spark
ling, health-giving beverage—the
best temporal gift of God to man
—Water. That his habit for yeaFs
iiad been, upon his first rising of u
morning, to repair to iiis spring
and take large drafts, which aided
digestion, improved the health
and prolonged a man’s life.”
Mr. Anthony was never a great
preacher, in the common accepta
tion of the term. He was net
fluent or animated, but profound
as a theologian His voice was
soft and low, his enunciations sluw
and measured; his ideas always
sensible and Scriptural—and lie
fulfilled his mission as acceptably
and as faithfully as any of bis
Co temporaries ; and in eternity,
his crown will be adorned and
bedecked with ma ny bright jewels
of souls saved through his instru
mentality.
In personal appearance, Mr. An
thony’ was of the “ old Roman
type ’’ —six-feet t wo or three inches
in height —large frame, but no
surplus flesh—calm, dark face,
bespeaking a quiet, benevolent
heart—all, all indicating reverence
for God; charity to man, and uni
versal good-will to his race.
Blessed old man ! Had lhe
world been filled with such, peace
would have had universal reign,
and tho blessedness of millenial
glory would have blessed the
earth a thousand years. W.
HOLE IN THE POCKET.
“ Charles,” said little Mrs Dnn
forth. as they sat beside their cozy
parlor fire, one evening, “ I want
to do a little shopping to-moirovv.
Can’t you let me have some
money ? ”
“ Why yes, my dear, I guess 1
can,” said Mr. Danfofih; slowly
drawing out his pocket-book.—
“ How much do you want ? ”
“ How much can yon spare ? ”
asked Mrs. Daufortb, smiling.
“Well, I think lean do pretty
well for you to-night. Will twen
ty-five dollars answer?”
“ Yes,” replied the lady, so
cheerfully. Upon which Mr. Dan
forth setiled himself easily in his
chair, and began laying the bills
from his purse across Ins knee to
count iLft-rr. Presently he sat up
and counted the bills again, and
then ho looked about him with
a perplexed air.
*• Why, Sallie,” he said, “ I
thought I had more money than I
have. I Bur-ly did have more
when we closed the store to-night.”
“ How much have you now? ” j
asked Mrs Daufortb, with a slight
change in the cheerful accent of
her voice.
“Why, I’ve cnly got twenty- j
five dollars altogether.”
“ And how mich did you think
you had ? ”
“ I thought I had thirty, for I
remember of jetting it in my
pocket-book. Where can that ex
tra five have pone ? ”
“ Perhaps sou spent sonic on !
the way hone?” observed Mrs.
Daufortb.
“ No, that i« not much; only a
trifle. I met Willis and Parker in
Eighth streit, and we dropped
into Brooki’ and took a dish of
oysters.”
“ And a egar or two," suggested
Mrs. Danfoth.
“Oh, of course; but that was
nothing, y»u know ”
“ And » glass of wine to wash
the oyslers down?” suggested
Mrs. lunforth.
“ mil, yes, a glass or two. —
i but that) d dn’t cost five dollars,
! yon kntw.”
Nowi Mrs. Danforth did not
know, jnd she did hav» mmpicions;
I but. Vke ■■ -i -
kept silent, and let Mr. Charles
/go on.
“ Where can the money have
\got hid away ? I’m sure I had
St, and I’ve ransacked every pock
et in vain.”
“Perhaps there is!—perhaps
there is!” —eagerly cried Charles,
/beginning to turn his pockets
wrong side out. “ Yes—just as
I expected. Here is a hole, and
that bill must have sipped out of
my pocket and got here. Look,
Sallie, I shall have to get you to
sew it up.”
Sallie obediently looked, and
could hardly restrain a smile as
she saw Charles, with such an in
nocent face, hold .out the pocket
in which indeed there was a hole,
hot so exceedingly small a one,
that, by no manner of means,
could a five cent scrip have made
its way through, much less a large
bill.
“ I don’t see' how it could get
through such a small hole,” she
could not help saying.
“ But it must, you see, because
there was no other way,” argued
Charles, logically. “ I declare
I’m sorry, tfallie, for I shall have
to cut you off with fifteen dollars
this time. I’m obliged to have
ten to pay a tax bill in the morn
ing. Can’t you get along with
fifteen ? ”
“ I must, I suppose,” said Mrs.
Danforth, with a light sigh.
“ Well, that’s a good girl. Here,
then; I’m sorry to give you so
little; and, if it hadn’t been fir
that unfortunate hole in my pock
et, you should have had more.”
“Yes, I think it must have been
the hole in your pocket,” said Mrs.
Danforth, as she arose to put her
money away. The peculiar em
phasis in her voice caused her
husband to look curiously up to
her; but the calm, sweet face told
him nothing, so he speedily forgot
the tone she had just used.
As Mrs. Danforth, tastefully
dressed for the stiect, passed
through the hall next morning, she
picked up a tiny bit of white pa
per, which looked as though it
might have fallen from her hus
band’s pocket the night before. It
appeared to be a little memoran
dum, or something of that sort,
and, Bmcotliing out its crumbled
folds, Mrs. Danforth read it;

Little Mrs. Dauforth’s pretty
face wore a variety of curious
expressions as site put the little
paper into her purse.
“Ah I ” safd she to herself, “ I
think I have discovered the hole
in Charles’ pocket.”
She drew another little sigh,
and then quietly wont down about
i her shopping, intent on making
fifteen dollars go as far as pos
sible.
Mrs. Danforth said not a word
of her discovery; but she was a
sharp little body, and meant to
follow it up. Charley was a care
less fellow, and left his notes and
memorandums lying around loose,
and whenever she found any of
them, instead of tossing them
into the fire, she carefully saved
them, and laid them away for fu
ture reference. In the space of
three or four months she became
almost alarmed to see what a pile
of these little papers she accu
mulated. The hole was a great
deal larger than she had imagined.
But she said not a word on the
subject.
One night, only a few days be
fore Christmas, Charley returned
from the store with a perplexed
face. After supper was over, and
the children gone to bed, instead
of sitting down to read or chat to
Sallie, as was his wont, ho took
his pencil and expense book, and
began to make calculations.
Mrs. Danforth sat at her work,
quietly observant, but saying I
nothing. After a long while, Char
ley laid aside his paper and pen- j
cil, drew a long sigh of relief, and
broke the silence :
“ Sallie, I declare, 1 believe we
must invent some way to be more
economical.”
“ I try to do as well as I can,
Charley.”
“ I know you do, dear. Ifou're
a good little Sallie, and I don’t
mean to scold. Bat there is an
awful leak in our expenses some
where. I find l havn’t made neat_
[s2 A YKAB, IN ADVANCE.
And wo must try to stop it, you
know.”
“ You think it ia the household
expense, thou? ” said Mra. l)an
forth, dryly.
“Of course; must he, you know;'
for where else could it he ? It is
my own private income; so it
can’t be through the business. I
don’t have an extravagant tailor’s
bill—”
‘‘No; but I am afraid your hole
in your pocket sometimes,” inter
rupted Mrs. Daufurth, mischie
vously.
“Why, what do you mean?”
asked Charles, in real, unfeigned
surprise.
“Oh, only' trifles! —wine, oys
ters, cigars, occasional trips down
the river, tickets to the theatre,
and all that.”
“ But, Sallie, you wouldn’t have
a man give up all his pleasures,
would you ? ’’
“ No; but when he wants econ
omy practiced in his family, I’d
like to have him practice it a littu
himself.’’
“ Well, I’m sure 1 do. What 1
spend for those tilings is a mere
nothing, Sallie—a mere nothing,
I assure you.”
Without replying, Mrs. Daufurth
rose, went to the secretary, and
unlocked her writing desk From
it she took a thick roll of small
papers, and brought them to
Charles.
“There!” said she; "I found
all these just where- you happened
to drop them—on the floor, under
the grate, on the wash stand, any
where and everywhere—and they
tell me that in a little over four
months a “ mere nothing has cost
you four hundred and fifty dollars.
Look for yourself.”
Charles took the papers without
a word, spread them out before
him, ami slowly looked over them,
one by one.
When he had finished he rolled
them up again, stuck the roll in
his pocket, and sat silent for a
while, looking into the lire with a
very peculiar expression on his
countenance.
“Well,” asked Mrs. Danforth.
smiling, “ hive you found the hole
in your pocket? ”
Charles got up from his seat,
deliberately walked over to Satlie’s
chair, and, stooping down, kissed
her pretty mouth.
“ There, Sallie,’’ said hr, “if
you will never say another word
about that, I will get yon ilie
handsomest present I can find.” j
“ And you will uiend the hole |
in your pocket?" asked Sallie,
roguishly. •
“ Yes, I’ll promise that. You
won’t find any more holes, Sallie,
that yon can’t sew up with a nee
dle and thread.”
“ Now, reader, hunt for the
moral, and may heaven speed the
quest.
-
“ Wasted, a Bov to Attend a
Bar Room.”-—The paper dropped
from my hands as I read this adver
tisement. It seemed jjyrthough I
Tuil read, u Wanted, X ooy to go
down to perdition.”
I fancied I saw a bright, earnest
boy going to a bar-room, seeking a
living by that fearful trade of selling
wine and mm. I could imagine how,
one by one, all the goo ! impulses and
desires ho had in the beginning fell
before the evil influences of the dram
shop; how he learned to drink, to
swear and steal ; how bad compan
ions came around him, and helped
him on to ruin.
Ah ! my l*J, or whoever you are
j who may be tempted by such a call,
let me tell you that you may better
work in the field, or at a forge, or
digging ditches, anything honest,
than to degrade yourself by soiling
death to others. No matter how
j hard your work, no matter if it soils
j your hands or clothes, so long ss it
I leaves your heart pure. Beware of
all such “good places” as wilt lead
you into the snares of the evil one.
There are many doors, besides those
of the bar-rooms, which are almost
: the same as gate ways down to the
world of woe. —Morning Light.
