Some persons iraagino that they can subsoribe for a newspaper and in a whimsical mood cease to take it from the post-office, and there their respon? sibility ends; the reverse is the case, as will be seen by the following: Decision of the Courts.?Any person who takes a paper regularly from the Post Office? whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discon? tinued, be must pay all arrearages, or the publish? er may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or net. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. tttsMtatteflus ^tittle*. j cd From the Cincinnati Times. History of a Waif. During the great flood of 1847, when the Ohio River so far overleaped the bounds of propriety as to come up to Pearl street without any invitation, a great many dwellings located on the river banks were swept away and came float? ing down upon tho pitiless tide. Loss of life not unfrequently attended these disas? ters, as when a family, unconscious of their danger, were asleep in their beds when the waters rose about their house and lilting it from its foundations bore it away amid the darkness and the turbu? lent flood. On the west bank of the Ohio at that time, between Marietta and Pomcroy. stood an humble dwelling occupied by a small farmer and bis wife, together with five children, the youngest an infant girl a little over a year old. The river rose during the night while the family were in bed. The rocking of the house as the surging waters claimed it awoke the in? mates, and through great and hasty ex crtions tho farmer was enabled to get all his family, as he supposed, to a place of safety, though he lost everything else. Standing on a little eminence near by he saw, through the gloom of that dreadful night, his mfbse with all its contents yield itself to the grasping and avaricious flood and float down the rivor, where it was soon lost in darkness. Ho supposed that all were saved, but alas, it was soon dis? covered that their infantgirl was missing. in the confusion and excitemont of the moment the baby was left asleep on its bed, and had been swept away to destruc? tion with tho house. Great was the grief of the parents at tho loss of their young? est born, and although duo efforts were made to learn whether or not she had been rescued, nothing was heard of her, and it was very naturally supposed she was drowned in the river. Such, however, was not her fate. A hundred miles below where his dwelling was swept away, some people oc tho river bank the next morning saw something peculiar floating down on the current. They thought it was tho form of an in? fant. A boat was procured and the ob? ject was indeed found to be an infantgirl, sleoping calmly and profoundly upon a bed. She was taken in charge by a family in the-vicinity, who took such meansaa they knew to ascertain to whom the child be? longed, but thcro was no cluo to guide them, and soon the little waif that had floated down to them came to be consid? ered as their own child. They adopted her the more readily, perhaps on account of being themselves childless an J because of their sympathies being so greatly ex? cited by the peculiar circumstances of the case?an infant floating all that night of terrible storm, amid wrecks of bridges and dwelling* protected from danger by an unseen power, that seemed to direct her to their love and care. It may seem strange to the reader that the parents were not found for the child, or tho where? abouts of the child made known to them, but it must bo remembered that ne wspa? pers were not so numerous or accessible twenty years or so ago, as now, and that people didn't advertise tho lost, as they do now. Besides, all the parties were in humble life, and their circle of acquaint? ance, as well as their means, were very limited. Meanwhile tho waif grew into a beau? tiful girl, and became as dear to her adop? ted parents as though she was their own. She had mourned for "mamma" a little time, but erelong all recollection of her early surroundings were but dim and shadowy, and her new parents and her new homo became all-in-all to her. A few years and the family moved into Illinois, settling on a farm near Chicago. The man prospered there, and was et:abled to give his beautiful Ohio-river founding an education fitting her graces of person, her amiability and her virtues. A short time ago her hand was sought in mar? riage by a worthy young farmer in the vicinity of where sho lived, consent ob? tained and the happy day appointed. One day the family were in Chicago pur? chasing her wedding outfit. At a dry goods store a clerk who was waiting on them observed our heroine intently, and 8cemod singularly affected?so much so as to attract attention. "Excuse me," he said, in some confus? ion, addrossing the young lady, "don't bo offended rt my staring at you, but the truth is you are a perfect picture of n sis? ter of mine at home, and I couldn't help thinking you looked just asanoihersister of mine would have looked, who was swept down the Ohio in a great freshet and lost." The words attracted tho attention of tho young lady's adopted parents. The ?ienablaneo spoken of, and the incident of the freshet taken in conjunction, could hardly have failed to do that. Explana? tions followed, and it was pretty satisfac? torily concluded that the clerk and the young lady were brother and sister, as in? deed, was afterward proved to be the case. Her parents, too, had immigrated to Illi? nois, and lived not far from herown home. The families wore brought together, and what was before believed to be true, was established beyond question, when tha bed on which the child was found was produced, and the garments she wore; for what frugar houso-wife wouldn't recog? nize one of her own beds, and what mother would not remember the gar? ments worn by her favorite baby ? There is little more to tell. Our heroine was married to the husband of her choice last week, and had the satisfaction of having her own as well as her adopted parents at the wedding. We don't con? sider it necessary to give the names of parties, but tho story is a true one, and wo had the facts fjjom one who is thorough? ly conversant with them. Church GorNO.?The question is often asked, why do not more people attend church ? And it is answered in various ways, though very unsatisfactorily. One reason assigned is that they work so hard during the wcok that rest is absolutely necessaiy on Sunday; cr, in other words, they want an excuse for lying in bed. Now surely this is an answer that is un? worthy of a rational being, who has any. sense of accountability to his Maker. No doubt, if a man has been bard at work, or has indulged in excess, he requires sleep to set him right; but as a rule, men do not work too hard, and ought not to indulge in excesses, and, therefore, such an excuse applies only to an exceptional condition. The truth is that it is an er? roneous notion that rest means simply physical repose; the true view of it is change of occupation, whereby not mere? ly rest but recreation is obtained. There is no great physical labor in going to church, and there is the calling of the at I tention to topics which perhaps have not I been present to tho mind during the week, ' but which certainly ought to be dwelt up? on at least once during that time. Now, nothing can better do this than an appeal to the heart and tho understanding by an earnest preacher, who has carefully studi ked his subject and can presont his argu I ments in a forcible manner. This appeal, too, us made in a suitable edifice, with solemn surroundings, and those who lis? ten to it are further encouraged by the example of attention set by the congre? gation, and by that mysterious sympathy which animates largo numbers of persons when assembled together for a common purpose. Tho plea of requiring rest is an untenable one; for in addition to the rea? sons assigned, it is notorious that, if the Sabbath be in spent idleness, it becomes fatiguing and irksome towards evening, so that idlers wish it over; anil those who employ it as they ought derive comfort and pleasure from so doing. A Jersey Heroine.?Tho New York Tribune relates the following thrilling in? cident of the heroism of a Jersey girl: '?Yesterday afternoon a young lady of eighteen, while proceeding along the Morris and Essex railroad track, between Orange and Orange Junction, saw a gen? tleman who wus walking a few puces ahead of her stagger and fall. At the same time she saw the down express for New York approaching. The unfortunate man fell on the lino by which the train , was coining, and his destruction appeared inevitable. Tho courageous girl with all speed ran to the prostrate man, and by great exertion succeeded in rolling him off tho track, not beforo tho locomotive had passed and cut off a portion of her dress. Tho driver brought his engine to a stop immediately, and a doctor descend? ed from the train and found that tho un? conscious man was suffering from an epi? leptic attack. Tho passengers loudly cheered the heroic action. On recover? ing consciousness the gentleman who had so nearly lost his life expressed tho deep? est gratitude. The young lady persistent? ly refused to give her name, when some New York merchants mentioned their desire of presenting her with a testimo? nial. Amid deafening cheering and the waving of pockethandkerchvel's the train pursued its way to New York. No Teacher Like a Mother.?Sad, in? deed is the picture, gloomy the prospect, where the sweet bonds between parent and offspring are rudely snapped by death, passion, or the force of circumstances. Melanchol}' and often perilous, indeed, is that condition of tho child, when the mother is untimely called to her account, ere tho bloom of early infancy has passed from her darling's cheek. Yet more de | plot able, when a parents faults and evil habits, ill-judgod severity or culpable in? dulgence, have corrupted tho understand? ing and alienated the heart of their off? spring. How delightful is it in our after days of honor and successful maturity, to look back on the sunny hours of infancy; to recall a mother's earnest gaze of utter able fondness; a father's caress of tender? ness and love; to dwell by memory's aid on their mutual joy at our progress in strength and knowledge;?the result of their united instructions and entreaties? on the holjT precepts that from their lips were caught, and the eternal truths they impressed upon our remembrance ; and to feel that, whatever wo may possess of life's best gifts, we mainly owe, next to tho Giver of all, to their devoted care. -. ? Two Irishmen stopping at the Island House, Toledo, last week, lit their gas, and, with windows open, sat down to enjoy ti chat. Tho hungriest Toledo mosquitoes soon flocked in and drovo them desperate. The clerk, who was summoned to devise some defence against them, told them to close the windows and put out tho gas. They acted on tho suggestion and placed themselves be? tween the sheets. Just as they began to doze a lightning bug, which had strayed into the room, caught the eye of one of the travelers. He roused his companion with a punch. "Jamie, Jamie, its no use! Here's one of the craturs sarchin for as with a lantern !" -- ? A New Hampshire paper has a fun? ny typographical error. It speaks of a reception given to Ben. Butler, where the band struck up "Hail to the Thief." THE ECLIPSE. As Old Sol, 'tothcr day, Was passing this way, With the gas turned full on his burner, To the earth he thus spoke? For a kind of a joke? ??Little earth, by Jove, you're a 'Turner'!" The earth bristled up, Like a two-year old pup, And ere this we'd been knocked into chips, But Luna, fair Queen, Just stepped in between, And that is what caused th<a eclipse 1 -? Love, Jealousy an 1 Bees. The presence of the green-eyed monster is as frequently perceived in high as in low estate. Pretty young ladies are, it is said, peculiarly liable to the disease. It creeps into their hearts in such insidious disguise that the artless little beauties are not aware of its existence until it crops out in such passionate excesses that it frightens them to contemplate it. No doubt it was precisely in such a way that a young lady on Franklin street, Al? bany, became amenable to its influence. For some time past she has regarded a youth with especial favor. Charlie pos? sesses many attractive qualities. He dress? es in the latest mode, wean an "Alpine," and cultivates a moustache. Yet he is fickle in his disposition, and while his lips were attuned to the harmony of sweet words, and a low passionate recital of love's anguish for the fair Julia's ears, his mind is enumerating the attractions of the pretty little widow around the corner. Now, this widow is no friend of Julia or she of her. For her life she can't see what Charlie admires in her. Indeed, Charlie denies any special interest in the coquett? ish beauty, but he goes to see her none the less. The fact that Julia disapproved it had no effect in changing his practice, and longing with a woman's curiosity to know what it meant, Julia -determined to find it out. She fovgot her self-respect, and became a spy. The prstty Julia be? came an eavesdropper. Seeing Charlie entering the front door of the cozy little cottage wherein the wid? ow abided, she hastened to admit herself into the yard by the rear gate, and peeped in at the window. Just underneath the window, however, was a little square box, on which Julia stood to get a good look into the room. Her worst liears were re? alized On a sola just large enough for two, the pretty widow and Charles sat, with heads inclined, and a low monotone issuing from the lips of either, telling, as plainly as words might have done, of love's confessions. Julia stepped back, the box. turned over, and innumerable angry little* insects issu? ing, proclaimed it a bee-hive. Of course they stung her. Fierce as mimic warriors the angry little demons laid hold of her shapely extremities, popping a sting into her plump little hand, another into her rounded cheek, and even the silken hose were no protection to the exquisitely fash? ioned ankle. She rolled on the ground and crushed ruthlessly in mud and mire her hands, feet and body. The house was alarmed, and the in? mates came rushing out to bjarn the cause of the uproar. Even the impudent Char? lie looked cunningly over the widow's shoulders; but that might be pardoned, had he not asked sympathetically, "If the bees had not stung her ?" Hartshorn and camphor were called into requisition, and Julia, swathed in flannels, and poisoned by the sting of the bees, consigns both Charlie and the widow to- very disagrea ble lives hereafter. Stoop a Little.?Tho following story related by Dr. Franklin in i\ letter to Dr. Mather, has been often told, and ia well worth telling again: "The last time I saw your father," 6ays Dr. Franklin, "was in 1724k In taking my leave ho showed me a short way out of the house, through a narrow passago, which was crossed by a beam overhead. Wo were still talking as I withdrew, he accompanying mo behind, and I turning toward him, he said hastily: 'Stoop! Stoop!' I did. not understand him till 1 lelt my head hit against tho beam. He was a man who never missed an occasion of giving instruction, and upon this he 6aid to me, 'You are young und have the world before you; Stoop a little us you go through it, and you will avoid.many hard thumps!' This advice, thus beat into my hoad. has frequently been of use to mo; and J often think of it when I see pride moitified and misfortune brought upon a people by carrying their heads too high." -^> A Hint to Motuers.?If you allow a child to got into the habit of sleeping with its-head under the bed clothes, and thereby breathing its own breath over and over agnin, that child will assuredly grow pale, weak and ill. .Medical men have cases on record of scrofula appear? ing in children. previously healthy, which could only be accounted for f:-om this hab? it, und which ceased when this habit stop? ped. ? - ? Tho Davenport (Iowa) Democrat tells of a ein^ulur case ol nuperstition : "Chatting with an aged lady, we noticed tho wonderful preservation and beauty of her teoth, and, cou[d not restrain from mentioning it. 'Yea,' said sho, 'I never had a toothache or lost a tooth, becauso J bit tho snake.' On inquiry, sho stated that when children at home, her father had made them bite a rattlesnake, he holding the reptile by the head and tail; each child bit along tho entire longth of tho backbone, not violently, bntjustso as to indent the skin ; and this was con? sidered an infallible recipe against tooth? ache and decay, and which the old lady believes up to the present hour.*' ? A heroic act was lately performed by a young girl in Ohio. As a gentle? man and his wifo were going to the ter? ry, about fivo miles above Be! levue, Ohio, they got into water fiftoen foet deep. Miss Lenora Smith, hearing their cries of distress, hastened to their assistance, and in an old skiff, half full of water, pro? pelled with a stick, succeeded in saving the man, and with his help rescued tho woman, two horses and wagon. ? It is much oasier to think right with? out doing right than to do right without thinking right. Just thoughts may, and often do fail of producing just deeds; but just deeds are sure to begot just thojghts. ?

Noble traits of character sometimes show themselves amidst the first confu? sion and terror of dire disaster. On the occasion of a late accident to a Connecti? cut River train a jammed brakeman, hanging to the knob of a car door, said to the brother brakeman who came to his assistance: "Dick, if any one else is hurt worse than I am, help him first." On the samo day an accident occurred on a Rutland (Vermont) train, and the first words of a severely injured engineer were : "Are any of the passengers hurt V1 ? Freddy is a little one of only seven years' growth, the son of a ministor, who, with his wife, had arrived at a new field of labor. Hearing his mother say to his father that she had been deceived by his saying that tho house was a three story building, when in fact it was only two, he said: "Ma." "Well, Freddy ?" "Pa is right." "How is that, Freddy ?" "The kitchen is one." "Yes." "This floor is two, and that story that pa told us is three!" ? "Mark Twain" says he was present at a recent interview between ex-Secreta? ry Stanton and Secretary Fish, and was subsequently greatly astonished to learn by the Associated Press that it was a very important meeting, hinting that the Ala? bama question was the subject under dis? cussion, when the conversation in fact on? ly had reference to the cure of warts. ? A country girl, after making some purchases at a store in New Albany, In? diana, was asked by tho clerk if ho could do anything more for her.

The Anti-Slavery Standard says: "The only way to save the negro vote to the radical party is to seize the Southern plantations and divide them up among the frecdmen."
