NEWSPAPER LAWS. We would call the special attention of 'Tost Masters and our subscribers to the following synopsis of the Newspaper Saws : 1. A Postmaster is required to give no. tice by letter, (returning a paper does not -answer the law,) when it atihacriber does mot take his paper out of the office, and ■state the reasons for its not being taken, and neglect to do so makes the Postmas ter responsible to the publishers for in payment. 2. Vuy person who takes a paper from the Post-Office, whether directed to his name or another,"or whether he hn <ub scribed or n t, is responsible for the pay. 3. If a person ord'rs 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 le;*al dis continuance until the payment is made. 4. If subscribers order the pfqioi to be stopped at a certain time, m l the pub lisher continues to send it, the sub crib r is bound to pay for it if be lakes it out of the Post-Office. The law proceeds upon 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 icmoving and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud.

PRICE, Name lari, Vineyard and Nursery, Central Plains, Fluvanna Co., Va. iaar 29-1 y Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, August 9, 1871. [communicated.] Tlie Evening Star. Mr. Editor —ln looking ever an old number of tlie Philadelphia Cas ket, published in 1832—nearly forty years ago—l find a most beautiful poem, addressed to the evening star, by Richard Nisbit, a lunatic in the Pennsylvania Hospital. The fact that a lunatic composed it, makes it the more touching and beautiful. After reading it, the enquiry arises in the tnind, To what cause could one so gifted become so distracted and dethroned in reason as to make it necessary to send him to an insane hospital ? It has been said that the subject or cause of the aberrations of a dis traded mind preys ever upon it, and of that he will discourse more elo quently and touchingly than upon any other subject. Then, most prob ably, “ she that loadeth hapless man astray,” by her wiles and sophistry, her witchery and unfaithfulness, de stroyed his reason, and made him the poor maniac! Oh ! the badness of woman’s heart, when she becomes lost to virtue! She is a jewel, when good; when bad, her influence takes hold on fire of hell! I give you tiie poem to be repub lished ; whicL, probably, was never seen by many of your readers, and is too good to be lost. W. TO THE EVENING STAR. Oh 1 Venus, lovely evening star ! Diffusing precious light afar ; How much superior is thy fame To tier's from whom thou tak'st thy name I Stic leadeih hapless man astray ; Thou lightest wanderers on their way. The mantle of the dark was spread; The tempest wan ’d around my head ; As, wearied, pensive imel alone, Through devious wilds 1 journeyed on, Imploring for some gentle ray To light a wanderer on his way ; When soon, with gladness and surprise, 1 saw thee in the Western skies, Cheering the dismal gloom of night, With grateful, friendly, moderate light, Complete as all the glare of day. To light a wanderer on his way. Oli! thus, should anxious cares infest, Or jarring passions rend the breast, And in dark tempest struggling roll, May reason open on the soul, And, with serene and sober ray, Conduct the wanderer on his way I let others toil for wealth and fame, Or call ambition but a name, Yet follow what delusion yields, Unmindful of yon starry fields ; The idle fancies such display, Mislead the wanderer on his way. To them their pleasures I resign ; The evening star of reason ra : ne ; With this, no other light we need— This best, man’s destined path shall lead To the cold tomb of kindred clay, Where ends the wanderer’s earthly way. JE#* One day a trader chief came to join n missionary chin ch in Africa with his two wives—one old and ugly, the other a hand some young negress. “ That will never do,” cried the minister; “my religion allows a man but one wife. Choose one for the partner of your joys and sorrows, and make suitable pro vision for the other.” They all went away, looking very crest fallen. A week or two afterward the old chief came back, leading the young and pretty one, both looking very happy. “ Me come back," he said ; “ me all ready now.” “ That ia right," said the minis ter; "and, pray, how have you disposed of the other wife ? " “AH right,” he said ; “me cat her up! ” ——— —— - “Such is Fahe.” —After Susan B. Anthony lectured in an Eastern town, the other day, she wanted some re creation and amusement, so she took a walk on Sunday around the grave yard there. While she was enjoying the literature of a tombstone, she heard a lot of little boys saying, “That’s her,” and she thought, “such is fame.” Congratulating herself that even the children of the land knew her, she was accosted by an urchin, who said : “Say, aint you the old woman that walks up the wire at the circus to-roorrow ?" *t*y Silk worms are now raised in California as an article of export. (“WHAT IS IT BUT A MAP OF BUSY LIFE?”) Written for tbe Gwinnett Atlas. Pen and Ink Sketches—No. O. ELDER JAMES HALE. Mr. Hale became a citizen of Gwinnett county as early as 1821. He settled on a lot of land which he drew from the State as a soldier of the war of 1812, which is situ ated in what is now known as Berkshire district, in the South west part of the county. Upon this place was his home from 1821 until May, 1855—the time of his death. He was born in Johnson coun ty, North Carolina, in the year 1178, and came to Georgia when a small boy; first living in Ogle thorpe, then in Clark, and then in Gwinnett. The date of his conversion was at a very early period; and he was licensed to preach in 1811. While in the army of the war of 1812, he preached to his comrades and brothers in arms, whenever opportunity offered—not as chap lain, but as a fellow soldier ; feel ing it to be his duty to preach the Gospel, even by the way-side— on the high-ways and hedges— thereby casting the bread of life upon the waters, hoping that it might be gathered after many days. Very soon after he canto to this county, “ old Caiup Creek ” Church was organized; he being one of the original founders, and was chosen its first pastor, which posi tion he held to the time oi his death—a peiiod of 455 years! During that long time he was faithful in his ministerial duties, and was always acceptable to that church; they never getting tired of him, nor were they willing to exchange him for another. This was a high compliment to the “old man;” and it proves him to have been a faithful, con scientious preacher of righteous ness: doing his duty before God and man to the best of his ability. I know of no similar instance of a preacher serving a church so long a time—over a third of a cen tury; and, during that loin/ time. he had no strife or bickerings, or even unkind bailings, with any of his flock! Men are fond of a change, and. in nothing more than a change us preachers, as a general thing; hence, it is the policy of some de nominations to continue the same minister not longer than a brief peiiod to the same charge. To be able to serve the same people acceptably for 35 years— for they had the right to make their own selection—is one of the highest cnconiuins that could have been paid Mr. Hale. They loved the old man, and he was to them ab a prophet in Israel. During this time he served other church generally four which embraced all the Sabbaths in the year; working faithfully on his farm and for his family during the | week, and as faithfully for his Lord and Master Saturdays and the Sabbath. Among them he served “old Sweet Water” 15 years. I quote from a letter by an old friend and brother of his, which furnishes me some data that as sists me in making up this sketch. “When Mr. Hale commenced exercising in public, it is said of him, that lie could not read a chap ter in the Bible or a hymn in the hymn book; but, eventually, he became a good reader, and was well versed in the Scriptures. lie was ever esteemed and loved by the Primitive Baptists; and his neighlkjrs always spoke highly of him, and had much reverence for him as a man and a Christian.” I have often attended upon his ministry; always to my edifi cation. Not for any high-sound ing word or pointed sentence, nor for any display ot rhetoric or <>lo- qiient declamations —for to none of these did he make any preten sions—but for bis plain, practical, unpretending expositions of the Word, in force and simplicity. His style was of the Primitive Baptist style—peculiar to that church which the fashionable and fastidious of this day would pro bably not admire; yet I liked it j for its unpretendingness and sim I plicity. No pent-up Utica Contracted his powers; ” he preached to his people as he would have talked to i his children. Often, after statiug a proposi tion or scriptural theorem, he would say, “ Some people will not agree with me iu this, but it is the opin ion ol the oldman, anyhow!”— Often in his preaching he would refer to himself as " the old man; ” Sometimes as “ old Hale.” , • Many years ago, 1 attended one of his meetings; it was a “ foot washing ” occasion. 1 had been brought up iu Connection with a church that did not observe this ordinance, and which, probably, diil not consider it an ordinance. * Curiosity, to some extent, prompt ed me to attend this meeting to see the loot-washing; not simply for amusement or to laugh and make sport —for 1 never did this at church, not even whop a boy— bpt I bad never seen yke 1 ike, and wanted to. In witnessing the ceremony and performance, it changed my mind; for, instead of looking foolish, as I had supposed, it was solemn, impressive, and it made a good impression on my mi.:d! However much other churches may object to it—(l don’t know that they do)—there is an illustrious example for it given in the 13th chapter of John. “ When the Saviour, after sup per, laid aside 11 is garments, lie took a towel and girded Himself. Alter that He pdurcth water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and wipe them with the towel wherewith He was gir ded ” Again. “For if I, then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” “ Daddy Hale,” as he was fa miliarly known in his old age— “ Hard-Shell,” as he was called by some, by way of reproach—was one of the most exemplary of the old fathers. There were as few objectionable traits in bis charac ter as any of them. Always quiet and kind in bis intercourse with his neighbors; having no! strife or disagreements with any j one; “earning his bread by the i sweat of his face,” he served God in j his day and generation to the best of his ability, and “ fell on sleep ” J in a green old age, at peace with God and his fellow man, in his 17th year, beloved by all who j knew him, and no doubt saved in Heaven- The grave now covers his ashes, as it does Paul—and, as “Abel, lying in his blood beneath his altar, and Noah, resting where they placed him, in the renovated earth, fresh from its dubtvian bap tism; and Abraham, with his cherished Sarah; and Isaac, with his beloved Rebecca; and Jacob, brought up from Egypt to lie laid beside his Leah; all reposing in death and Hades! “ And among the sleepers are Paul, from the block; Peter, from the cross ; and l’olycrap, from the stake, and Luther, from the rage of Rome and hell! ” And there, too, arc Anthony, and Camp, and Hale; whose virtues still Survive them, like the odors of flowers fresh-fallen— and many dear companions with whom they walked, hand in hand, along the path of life! All these have gone lieloio | [s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. No. 22. j them in the narrow-house of hope. In concluding this brief sketch of Father Ifalc, I feel that it. is very imperfect. I designed to de lineate his character, and commend his honest, straight-forward life, as worthy of imi at ion. His religious faith, I know, is objected to by many who will read this article. Of this, 1 have 1 nothing to say. It is not my busi ness, nor my purpose, to discuss it here. He was an honest man ; honest in his religious faith, and every thing. His long life was a con sistent one. He turned neither to the right nor left, in his duty to God nor his fellow man. Let none say of him that he was an ‘‘old Hard Shell,” and they can have no fellowship! Let none say of Anthony that he was a Missi»n.- ary, and they have no confidence ; nor of Ilosea Camp that he was a Methodist, and expected to save himself by works; nor of John S. Wilson, that lie is a Calvinist, and preaches a partial atonement! A man's religious creed is not ' the criterion by which he should be judged. Ilis walk, his life , is the great test of character. The world is full of error—has been, is now, and wil. be until “the old heaven and the old earth shall have passed away, and the new heaven and new earth sha I be ush ered in! Because we may differ with our fellow-man, ’■« no evidence that he is wrong or that we are right. We all now see “as through a glass, darkly ; ” and the vision is different to many, even from the same stand-point—the Bible. Some are wrong, but who is it ? “ Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again, The Eternal Years of God are hers, While error, wounded, writhes it: pair, And dies amid ner worshippers.” W. A Cat’s Tale. The captain of one of the largest steamboats running on the Poto mac was astonished one day lately, as his boat touched the landing at one of his river side watering places not a great distance from Washington, to hoc all the guests assembled, with their baggage, ready to take passage to the city. In making inquiry ns to the cause of this general exodus he soon discovered that thereby hung a tail. A cat’s. It appears that the fare at the hotel disagreed with the boarders, and not satisfied with complaining, they took French leave. A batch of dough had been prepared for the oven and placed on a table. A playful kitten thought it would be nice to ] run over it, it looked so snowy, ; warm and tempting. Kitty tried i it and soon found her delicate little i feet sinking in the dough. She ! struggled to escape, and, like ! Governor Morton in the stolen treaty business, only struggled to sink deeper, until this youthful eat disappeared entirely, and so, like young Lochinvar, went into the yeast. She never arose again, but the bread did. It closed over this unfortunate specimen, not leaving a hair apparent, (kinky, of course, was not aware that instead of a loaf of bread she had a kitten dumpling, and put the mass into the oven and baked it. When the bread was opened at breakfast next morning, the birds did not be gin to sing, but the boarders did. They fairly howled with wrath.— They knew that there had tieen h family of kittens, and as hash had been served for breakfast before this extraordinary loaf was opened, the conclusion was natural that the other part of the family had gone iuto the hash and gone down their throats. They were first taken with sea sickness, next with home-sickness, and then ensued a general packing up. The fashion able summer resort was left with no inhabitants but toe cook und the barkeeper, aud what remained of the family of kittens. — Cor. New York Wo,ld.
