NEWSPAPER LAWS.
We would call the special attention of
Post Masters and our subscribes to the
following synopsis of the Newspaper
laws :
1. A Postmaster is required }o give nO.
tide by letter, (rottiming a paper does not
answer the law.) when a subscriber does
not take his paper out of the office, and
state the reasons for its not lieing 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, whetlrer directed to his
name or another, or whether he Ims suh
scribed or n t, is responsible for the pay.
3. If u person ord* rs his pap r diseoit'
tinned he must pay all arrearages; or the
publisher may continue to send it until
payment is rntole, 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
stopped at a certain time, and the pub
lisher continues to send it, the sub ci ilicr
is bound to pay for it if he takes : t out
of the Post-Office. The law proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that refu
sing to take newsfiapers and periodicals
from the Post-office, or tetnoving and
leaving them uncalled for, is prirna lacia
evidence <>( intentional fraud.

LOVE.
TO MR. 7. Cl. H., OK MARIETTA.
Love, the brightest orb of heaven,
Unmixed with sorrow, pain or grief,
Came to earth, to men was given,
Remained, when fixed, to give relief.
Encouraged by thy knul expressions,
There I find the sweet emotion
In this fond heart, that beats for thee—
All besides is vain commotion.
And may I hope that I shall share
Thy love in every strait below—
Afford relief from toil and care,
Nor any other pleasure know?
Surrendered shall I stand to thee,
If in thy heart I have a place ;
Let me unto thy bosom flee—
Love, mutual love, shall us solace.

Pen and Ink Sketches—No. 3.
REV. IIOSEA CAMP,
Was a Methodist local preacher,
and was bom in South Carolina
about the year 1(74, and-removed
in early life to Georgia, and set
tled on the Mulberry river, near
the present fesideneg of Mr. D. R.
Lyle, in Jackson county, where he
resided for some time, and after
wards removed S or 10 miles fur
ther West, to what is n av known
as his old place, some 13 or 14
miles East of Lawrenceviilc—the
present residence of Win. Jackson
where he resided until 1847.
lie was distinguished for his
qhiet and unobtrusive deportment;
never engaging in controversies
cither of politics or religion, though
firm and decided in both. l r e was
a firm and unwavering Whig in
politics, and a stannch and un
yielding Methodist in religion ; but
being strictly holiest in his prin
ciples himself, accorded the same
honesty io those with whom lie
disagreed or differed. This was a
commendable bait in the eharae
terof our old friend, and let us coni
mend this spirit to the readers of
this sketch, as an illustrious ex
ample, worthy to he followed by
them..
Men generally have too little i
chauity for those with whom they |
differ in politics, ar.d n ore espe- j
eia ly with those who differ with
them in religion.
Tlii* illiberulify and uncharita
bleness among men professing to
be the followers of ouv Saviour,
is, to iny mind, the most unrea- I
suitable and inconsistent spirit
that pervades the human mind. — j
All professing to serve the same
Lord, whose law is charity and
love.; striving for the same heaven, j
and yet falling out and quarrel
ing by tlie way! If heaven be |
pure and holy, the soul must be J
purified from all this base material |
before it can ever enter its blessed
portals.
Such was not the character of.
our old friend. With him his i
neighbor might bo a Democrat
and a patriot —a Presbyterian, or
1 a Baptist, and a Christian.
As a minister, he classed re-
I speetnbly. His sermons were plain,
and yet forcible;. and while the
opening was somewhat tame, gen
erally, his perorations were strik
ing and touching. He was the
i neighbor and compeer of Anthony,
j and, with him, was a co-worker in
j the salvation of sopls. Wherein
• they differed, “ they agreed to
; disagree” without controversy.
Mr. Cnmp was happy in his do
mestic relations ; raising 12 chil
| dren, aud all of them taking hon
orable positions in their commu
nities, and were useful and re
! spected citizens ; following in his
I footsteps, and governed by bis ex
j ample.
In social life he was pleasant.
’ and agreeable in his manners —
soft and gentle, and somewhat
miijthfnl. He was a gopd laugher
—not a “ tmiler," such as we
sometimes see, and such as I al
ways suspect of deceit and tre&ch-
I ery; nor such as was Shakspcarc’s
(“ WHAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE V ”)
| _
lago: ‘‘Smile and smile, and*yet'j
i a villain ” —but his was the ring- 1
j ing, pealing laugh, from an
| honest, cheerful heart, that makes
digestion good, draws nails from '
the coffin—of the “laugh aud grow !
fat” specimen.
Save mo from the smiter ! So !
; obsequious—so happy to see j
i you ’’ —with the “ How arc you,
my brother,” and then strike you
under the fifth rib. After a some
what long experience, and some
observation of men’s character, I
, never knew such a one but —if not
a scoundrel—was a hypocrite.
Another beautiful trait in I.is
character was, he never sprike
evil of his neighbor! lie had not
I the tongue of the hack-Liter, nor
the slime of the slanderer, so prev
j alent in the present day. If it
was my prerogative to speak of !
it, I would say, it is one of the
greatest evils of the age—the j
most damnable and diabolical.
“ Who steals my purse, steals \
trash; ’tis something—nothing; |
’twas mine, ’tis his, and has been
slave to thousands. But he
that filches from me my good name,
robs me of that which riot en
riches him, and makes me poor
indeed.”
Ob, the slanderer ! the detainer
the back biter! “If thou hast
no ether name to be known by,
let us call thee—devil.’’
We commend, especially, this
beautiful trait in Hose.v Camp’s
character to all who may read
these lines, and let them try and
profit by the example.
He removed from Gwinuett, in
1847, to Polk county —having
been a citizen here for 40 years,
and one of the best of the pfd
fathei s.
lie died in 1859 or 1860, ,vr ,1
86 years, exceeding the Psalmist’s
limit of man’s life by 16 years.
“ The days of our years are
three-score and ten; and if, by
reason of strength, they be four
score years,.yet there is strength,
labor, and sorrow, fur it is soon
ctr off, and we fly away.”
The prolongation of this good
man’s life was one of the rewards
vouchsafed from Heaven for his
godly, upright life; and in his ad
vanced age, lie was translated
from earth to heaven, with but
little of the pangs of dissolution.
“ My buried friends can I forgftt,
Or must the grave forever sever ?
They linger in my memory yet,
And in my heart they’ll live forever.
I fain would weep, but what of tears ?
No tears of mine could e'er recall them;
Nor would 1 wish that groveling cares—
Cares like mine, should e’er befall them.
They rest in realms of light and leva ;
They dwell upon the mount of glory ;
They bask in beams of bliss above,
And shout to tell the pleasing story.

THE MYSTERIOUS OR
GANIST.
At a grand cathedral overlooking
the Rhino there appeared a distin
guished organist. The great com
poser who had played the organ so
much had suddenly died, and every
body, from the king to the peasant,
was wondering who could he found
to fill his place, when one blight
Sabbath morning, as the sexton en
tered the church, he saw a stranger
sitting at the crape-shrouded organ.
He was a tall, graceful man, with rt
pate, hut strikingly handsome face,
great, black, inelanchcly eyes, and
hair like the raven’s wing for gloss
and color, sweeping in dark waves
over his shoulders, lie did not seem
to noth-e the sexton, but went on
playing, and such musjo as lie drew
from the instrument, no words of
mine can describe. The astonished
listener declared the organ seetned
to have grown human that it wailed
and sighed and clamored as if its
tortured human heart were throbbing
through its pipes.
When the music at length ceased,
the. sexton hastened'to tne stranger
and asked t
“ Pray, who are you, sit
“Do not ask my name,” he re
plied; “I have heard that you were
in want of an organist, and I have
come here on tiiai.”
“ You’ll he sure to get lie place,”
exclaimed the sexton. “ Why, you
surpass him that’s deal and gone."’
“No, no, you overrate me,” said
the stranger with a smile ; then, as if
disinclined to conversation, he turned
from old Haris, and began to plav
again, and now the music changed
from a sorrowful strain to a grand
old (fran, and the mysterious old or
ganist ;
Looking upward, full of grace,
Playing still from a happy place—
God’s glory smote him in the face,
and his countenance seemed not un
like that of St. Michael, as portrayed
by Guido.
Lost in the melodies which swelled
around him, he sat will his *• far
seeing” eyes fixed on the distant sky,
a glimpse of which he caught through
an open window, when there was a
«tir ab. lit .the church door, find it
royal party came sweeping in.
Among them might be seen a bright
young girl, with a wealth of golden
hair, ens Itko the violet's hue, and
lips like wild cherries This was the
Princess Elizabeth, aud all eyes were
turned towards her as she seated
herself on the velvet cushion appro
printed to the court. '1 he mysterious
organist fixed hi* eyes upon her and
went to playing. No foonor had
the music reached her cars than -lie
started its if a ghost had crossed her
path. The bleed faded liom bet
crimson cheek, Her lips quivered, and
her whole frame grew tremulous.
At last her ayes met those of the
organist in a long, yearning look, and
the melody lost its joyous notes, and
once more wailed and sighed and
clamored.
“By faith,” whispered the King
to his daughter, “ this organist lias a
master hand. Ilark ve, he shall
play at your wedding.”
The pale lips of the prinoes*
parted, but she could not speak —she
was dumb with grief. Like one in ft
painful dream, she saw the pale man
at the organ and heard the melody
which filled the vast edifice Ay,
full well she knew ho it was ami
w hy the instrument seemed breathing
out the agony of a tortured heart
When the services were over and
the royal parry ha I left the cathedral
he stole awav as mysteriously as ho
had come, lie was hot seen again
by the sexton trl! the ve«ner hour,
and then he appeared in the organ
loft and commenced liistask. When
he played, a veiled figure glided in
and knelt near a shrine. There she
remained until the worshippers dis
appeared, when the sexton touched
her cm the shoulder and said :
“ Mmlafho, everybody has gone
but you and me, and I wish to close
the door.”
i “ I sin not ready to go yet,” was
the reply “ leave me—leave me !”
! The sexton drew back into s shady
| niche and watched and listened. The
i mysterious organist still kept his
poet, and his head was bowed upon
j the instrument, and lie could not see
i tbe lone devotes. At length she
i rose from tbe aisle, and moving to
j the organ loft, paused beside tbe or-
I ganist.
i ‘ Bertram !” she murmured,
i Quick as thought the organist
; raised liisbend. There with the light
of the lamp suspended toilie arch
above falling upon her, stood the
Princess, who had graced the royal
I pew that day. The cotirt dress of

robe and a long thick veil which was
now pushed back f.oin the fair girlish
face.
“Why are you here, Her tram? ’
asked the 1 rincess.
“ 1 came to bid you farewell,
and as I dared not venture into
the palace;’ I gained access to the
cathedral by bribing the boll
finger, and having taken the seat
of the dead organist, let uiy music
breathe out the adieu I could not
trust my lips to utter.”
A low in ai Was the only an
swer, and he continued :
“ You arc to be married on the
morrow ? ”
“ Yes,” sobbed the girl. “ <*>h!
Bertram, what a trial it will be to
stand nt. yonder altar and take
up m me the vows which will doom
me to a living death.”
“ Think of me,” rej do <1 the
organist. “ 7 our royal father his
requested me to play at the wed- 1
ding, and t have promised to tie j
here. If I were your equal 1 Could;
he the bridegroom instead of the i.
organist; but a poor musician 1
must give you up.”
“ It is lik • rending my soul and |
body asunder to part with you,’’ |
saiii the girl. “To night 1 may 1
tell you this—tdl you fondly I
love you, but in a lew hours it
will lie a sin! Go, 1 go, Go t bless ;
you.” ‘ ' ' ' * f
trim waved him from her, as if !
she would banish him while she
bail the power to >1 > so; and ho
bow was it with him! He arose ;
to leave her, then came back, '
held her to his heart in a long cm
brace, with a hall smothered fare
well, and left her.
The hext morning dawned in
cloudless splendor. At an early
hour the cathedral was thrown
open and the sexton began to pre
pare for the wedding. Fume: |
colored flowers nodded by the |
way-side flame colored leaves j
came dashing down the trees anil ;
lay in heaps upon the ground;j
and the ripe wheat waved like a
golden sea, and berries dropped ,
in red and purple clusters'over i
the rocks a ong the Rhine.
At length the palace gates were 1
opened and the royal party ap
peared, escorting the Frincess
Elizabeth to the catliedjal, where
the marriage was to Tie solemn
ized'.
It was a bright pageant -fur
brighter than the entwined foliage
and blossoms were the tails ot
plumes which tioated fro n stately
heads and festal robes that
streamed down over the housings
of the supeib steeds. But the
Princess, mounted oil a snowy
palfrey, and clad ill snowwhite
velvet, looked, pale and sad; and
when, on nearing the church, she
heard a gush of organ mils c,
which, though jubilant in sound,
struck on her ear like a funeral
knell— she trembled and would
have fallen to the earth, had not a
page supported her. A few min
utes afterwards she entered the
cathedral. There, with his retinue,
stood the royal bridegroom, who
she had never before seen. —
Bqt her glance roved from him to
the organ loft, where she had ex
pected that mysterious organist.
He was gone l , and she was obliged
to return the graceful bow of tlifc
King, to whom she had been be
trothed from motives of policy.—-
Mechanically aim knelt at his side
oil the nltar at >rte; mechanically
listened to ibe service aud mad •
the fesporwes.
Then her husband drew her to
him in a convulsive t'mbrace, and
w liispercd:
“Elizabeth, my queen, my wife,
look up.”
Trembling in every limb, site
obeyed. Why did those eyes thrill
her so? Why did-that smile bring
a glow on her cheeks ?
All! though the King wore the
royal purple and many a jeweled
order glittered on his breast, he
sftemed the humble person who
had been employed to teach organ
music, and had taught her the lure
of love.
“ Elizabeth,” murmured the
monarch, “ Bertram Hotfinar, the
mysterious organist, and King
Oscar (the Royal Free Mason)
are otic. Forgive iny stratagem.
I wished to marry you, but would
not drag to the altar an unwilling
bride. Your father was in the se
cret.”
While tears of joy rained from
her blue eyes., the new made queen
returned her husband's fond kis
ses, and for once two heart* were
made happy by a royal marriage.
