Laity Wrniworth, A NSW POEM BY LONGFELLOW. One hundrel vears ago. and something more. In Queen stree*. Porismorh, at tifr tavern door, Neat as a pin anu blooming a? a rose. Stood Mistress sta vere In her furbelows. Just as her cuckoo clock was striking nine. Above her head, resplendent ot' the sign, The portrait of the tari ol Halifax, I n scarlet coat and periwig of dax. Survered a' leisure a 1 her varied charms. Her cap. her bodice, i er white folded arms, And hair resolved, though he was pas* hts prime, And rather damaged by thc lapse or time, To fall down at her feet, and to declare The passion that h?d driven him to despair. For from his lofty a tatito he had seen Stavera, her husband, dressed in bot'l? green, Drive his new Flying Stagecoach, four-in-hand, Down the long lane and out Into thc land. And knew tiat. he was far upon the way. To Ipswich snd to B-ston on the bay ! Just then the medltatl "-s or the earl Were Interrupted by a little gin. Barefooted, ragged, with neglected hair, Eyes run of laughter, neck and shoulders bare A thin slip of a girl, like a new moon. Sure to be rounded li.to beauty soon; A creature men would worship and adore, Though now in mean habiliments she bore A pall of water dripping through the street. And bathing, as Bhe went, her naked feet. It was* pretty picture, full or grace, The s ender form, the delicate, thin race; The swaying motion, as she harried by; The shining ."?et, ihe laughter lu ser eye, Tha". o'er her race lu linples gleamed and glancec". As in her pail the shifting sunbeams danced, And with uncommon feelings of delight The 1 arl of Balifax rxhetd the sight. Not so Dame stavera: for he heard her say These words, or thought he did, as plain ai day: ?'0 : Martha Hilton ! Fie ! how dare you '?o. About t he town bair dressed and looking so ?" At which the gypsy laughed, and straight re? plied : "No matter how I look; I yet shall ride In my own chariot, ma'am." And on the child The Earl of Halifax benignly smiled. As with her heavy burden she passed on, Looked back, then turned the corner, and was gone. Waat next upon that memorable day Drew his august attention, was a gay And brilliant equipage, tint flashed and spun, The silver harness glittering In the sun. Outriders with red jackets, lithe and lank, Pounding the saddles as they rose and sank, While au alone within tue charlot sat A portly person wi:h three-cornered hat, A ( rlmson velvet coat, h?a 1 h gh in air. Gald-headed cine, and ni ce'y powdered h Hr, And diamond buckles sparkling at bis knee), Dignified? sute.y, florid, much at ease. Onward the pageant swept, and as it passed Fa r Mistress Slavers cont tested low and fast; For this was Governor Wentworth, driving down To L.t'ie Harbor, just beyond the town, Where his great house stool looking out to sea A goidfy place, where lt was good to be. It was a pleasant mansion, an abode Near and yet hidden from the great high road. Sequestered among t.oes. a noble pile, Baronial and colonial in tts style; Ga'.) es and dormer windows everywhere. And stacks and chimneys rising high in air; Pandean pipes, on wh ch all winds that blew Made mourn ul music ihe whole winter through. Within, unwonted splendors met the eye, Panels and flo<-s of oak, and mest ry : r Carved chtmney-piecf s, where on brazen dogs Bevelled and roared the Christmas Are o: lo?s; Doora opening Into darkness unawares. My teilous pss-iages, and flights of 6t?trs; And on the walls, in heavy glided frames, The ancestral Wentworths with old fcc.lpture names. Such was the mansion whfre the great man dwelt, A widower and childless; and he telt The lo ne. in ss, the uncongenial gk om That like a tresence haunted every room; For though not given to weakness, he could feel Tue pain of woun j that ache because they heal. The years ernie and the years went-seven la all And passed in cloud and sunshine o'er the hall; The dawns their splendor through its chamber shed, The sunsets flashed its western windows red. The snow was on ita roof?, the wind, tba rain, Its woodlands were in leaf and bare again: Moons waxed and waned, the lilacs bloomed and died, In ti.e bro'd river flowed and ebbed the tide. Ships weat to sea. and ships came home from sea, And the stow years sailed by and ceased to be. Afld all these ye us had Wartha Huron served In the great house not who ly unobserved: By day, by night, the sliver crescent grew, . Th ugi hidden by clonds, her light still shining through; A maid or all wo k. whether oar;e or fine, A servant who made service seem divine ! Through her each room was fatr to look upon, The mirrors gila ened and the brasses shone, Trie very knocker o i the ourer door. If she but pa^e >, was brlgater thin berore. And now the ceaseless turning rr the mill Of Time, th it never for ai hour stands still, Ground ont the governor'* sixtieth biri dav, And powdered his brown hair with f liver gray.

The question having been raised as to whether tho law author zea the State Auditor, upon the approval of the Governor, to extend the time for the payment of Taxes, after a careful examina? tion of all the aits bearing upon the subject, and being unable to fin I any au'.U rity for such ac? tion, but at the same time knowing that ext a jlons have *been granted In previous years, I sub? mitted the matter to the Atto ney-General .'or a legal opinion. In reply to ih? question alluded to, the Attor? ney-General answen-: "I rave the honor to say thu the only sectlcu ander which lt ls cla'med, so far as I am aware, that the State Auditor, with the approval of the Governor, may extend the tlxefor the collecticn of taxes, is the 147th sec tioj or the Tax Act. That section ls in these words: 'ir any of the duties required to be per? formed lu this act oa t r before a certa n day by any officer here n named cannot, ror w.nt or proper time, be so ptrforme I, the State Auditor, with the approval ot the Governor, cpon proper evidence of the necessity or the same, may extend the time as long as mjy be necessary thereror.' An examination or this s ctio i will, I think, lead to the conclusion thit lt has reference simply and only toan extension of time necessary ror the tax otneers to perform theji duties, and was n t In? tended to, anl does not in ter i.s. authorize an extension of time hr the payment cf taxes. I am aware that a different construction has been acted upon for the pas: three years, but now that the question ls presented to me for the first Hine for my opinion, 1 am obliged to say that I do not tUlnk tali section gives' authority to you, upon th? approval of the Governor, to extend the time for any other purpose than to allow the tax offi? cers to complete their prescribed duties." The law as construed by the Attorney-General, la whose opinion I fully concur, does not allow the exercise of discretionary power to any officer In this matter. I would therefore once more bring to the notice of all the importance or prompt and punctual PAYMENT O? TAXES, as under the de? cision above quoted I ranntt do otherwise than execute the law, as provide l ror in the 97th sec? tion of the Tax Act, passed september 15,1868, which say j that the penalty shall attach upon all taxes and os essments not paid on or before the l?Tii DAY OF JANUARY.
