Attest, I. W. CLARK, Clerk.
The I'ostofricc Department lins just
made an important decision regarding
tin-transmission of newspapers by niiiil,
which is of considerable interest not
only to publishers but to the people
generally. Under the new construc
tion placed upon the luw, no name or
memorandum can be made on a news
paper inside the wrapper on which the
address is written. It is barely per
uissable to mark tin article with pen
or pencil. More than this subjects
thujaper to letter postage, and the
violator of tho law to fine. Neither
must any printed curd, handbill orud
v rtisemeut, written notice, letter or
slip uf any kiu.l whatsoever, be folded
iu the paper. Printed slips posted on
the out side or folded in paper or peri
odicals, soliciting notices, are also
violations of the lav . These facts are
of importance, and should bu borne iu
mind.
Tlio following extract from an ed
itorial iu tho Lorain, O., JVctr ex
plains itself: "A little more than a
year ago, the price 'of the Xeut was
reduced to one dollur and a half by
way of experiment. That expe riment
did not succeed. In fact, since the
price was reduced, the subscriptions
have not paid fi the type-setting und
press-work. , Mr. Uuller, the lute pro
prietor, purposed returning to the old
terms on the first of January, 1872.
We shall defer the change until the
seventh of March. It is a folly for
country papers to uttoinpi to compete
iu price with city weeklies. A paper,
if worth anything, is worth what it
costs to produce if, und, all hough it
may not receive tho support to 'which
it is entitled, enough men of sense und
justice will be found to sustuiu it."
Thus it is that a cntcmporury an
swers that good woman, Mrs. Livei

Where There's a Will Theres a
Way.
I met the young peoplo at a picnic,
and was uot loii in disco vering their
sentiment towurd each other. ' It wns
plaiti Totn Tilby loved Bessie Wellit,
ami it Has impossible to douht tlmt
the leelincr was reciprocated. I took
an interest u the young couple because
I hud been the intimate friend of their
futlicH, when they were young, and
before the business of life led us apart
uu separata roiuls.
Tom Tilby ycre and Sam Wclfit bad
been lu.H friends both at school nnd at
college; fast friends, boon compan
ions, and bure partners in every scrape
us in every stroke of luck. .
Until they took their degrees they
were inseparable. After that of course
their paths were bound to diverge
somewhat. As for mo, I left college
two'or three yeurs before they did, for
my means were slender, and it was
necessary that I should, as soon us
possible, undertake the management
of my father's practice as an attorney,
j ug he WIW grwjng ol J and feeble.
I went up to tho University on a
: special invitation to be present at the
. urtlU2 Rliper civen by Tom ami S?ttttl
when they hud taken their degrees. It
was a great occasion, thut supper! I
can. well remember how the two re
turned thanks for the toast of their
"health and success I" standing up
hand iu-hund and making one speech
between them, Tom beginning a sen
tence, which Sam finished, and theu
beginning another for Tutu to complete,
und so on.
Next dav I was instructed to draw
up their wills, iu which each left
all
ho possessed to the other, if he should
survive ' liiin." The documents were
.1 .. I i ..J ...!
00 .iruwu up, blgucu, lliiu iiuccncii, mm
1 was requested to take ohargeof them.
From that period I saw very little of
: either. Tom in regular course served
bis curacy, and at Inst got his living.
gllm gt jut,, a g,,od practice, and I
went on plodding at my business.which,
though not vast, was sutficietit to keep
me occupied an I to supply -me with
modest competence. 1 heard occusion-
uliy trom both parson una barrister,
but the letters were generally brief and
of a business nature, for I was their
legal adviser whenever they chanced
to need such assistance, which was but
rarely. I wus glad to learn therefore
dear me! how the time must have
slipped away, said I lo myself that
the pretty golden haired girl at the
picnic was the daughter of my worthy
friend Sam Welfit; and that the hand
some manly young fellow who was pay
ing such uttentioii to her was tho son
of the Ilev. T. Tilby, who wus besi
known to me us Tom Tilby.
Of course I lost no time in intro
ducing myself. To niv surprise, the
young people did not seem overwhelm
ed with joy to hear I wus mi old friend
of their fathers. Thty exchanged
looks of surprise nnd consternation.
What could it mean ?
I was not to bo left in ignorance
long. Tom, tearing himself with evi
dent reluctance tiom the si le of uis
charmer, asked me to favor him with a
word in privute. To my surprise, his
first fee, in st wus that I would not men
tion the picnic, and the fact that lies
vie nnd he met there, to either his lath
er or hers. My uiirprisu was chunged
to sorrow when I heard the reason of
bis request. Those confounded wills
were ut the bcttmu of it! The two
friends had begun to sipecteuch oth
er. Tom Tilby thought Sam Weltit
wished him dead that he might have his
monev ; and Sum felt certain that
Tom Tilby would not be grioved to
heur of his decease. Fricnship grew
cooler at last cold and stark.
Why, you ask, did they not make
fresh disposals of their money when
their marriages made the old wills
void? Well, I can't exactly say, hut I
fancy that either they thought it a
point of honor to stand by their old
arrangement, or else they were asham
ed to ask m i to make alterations, when,
after drawing up their marriage settle,
nieuts, etc., I had to redraft their w ills.
Time went on. Suspicion begot in
difference paving the way for hate.
Of course each wus conscious of u
change iu t'e oilier, but did not
observe it iu himself, und so the mu
tual dislike deepened, und the breach
widened imperceptibly. As luck would
have it, jouiig 'loin, who was iiiteinl
ut Lincoln's inn, met iicssie, who bad
come to stay with some Iricnds in
town, und tht'y fell desperately in love
with one another. They w rote to their
parents, like good and obedient chil
dren, informing them of their acquaint
mice, und perhaps revealing uncon
sciously what that acquaintance had
ripened into. That brought i alters
to u crisis. The liev. T. Tilby told his
son that I'.issie wus, no doubt, a de
signing minx ; she was not likely to
be it fig, spring us she did from a this
tle like ffuiii Wellit. He threatened to
cut his son elf with u shilling, if he
heard un more of )iis nonsense, tiud
forbade him to see Jicr tiguiu.
Sam Weli'il was eqi. ally stern. lie
told llcssiu that joiing Tom wus n
mercenary adventurer, and, like his
lather, -probably a rake, uu idler and a
scoundrel. If ho . heard any more, of
icr l.a ing any more to do vil!i the
scamp he should bring her visit to aa
abrupt end.
Naturally, in spite of tlireaU, the
young people did meet, and their love
was luleu-siiiud by the opposition of
tlio pu rente. It was a bud chm, nnd I
told young Tom so. lie implored me
to keep their secret. I consulted
and wlmt is more, I promised to aid
them. That very uijtht, iu my lonely
bachelor chambers, 1 laid my plan
and acted on it. I wrote two letter-one
to Tom Tilby and the other to Sam
Welfit. I asked them, for reasons
alleged, l meet me on the following
Tuesday Tom at twelve and Sum ut
one. Then I dispatched a little note
asking Bessie and young Tom to lunch
with ine at tliree o'clock on the tame
day.
Tho day came the hour came and
the men came! Old Tom Tilby aniv
ed at 12. dressed in deep mourning,
and carrying in his hand toy bliu k
bordered massive bidding him to come
here, to proceed with me to the fune
ral of our old friend Welfit. I asked
him to sit down, and beguu to talk of
old times. Tom bud been on recall
ing the past, his heart was touched.
Tender recollections came in a flood,
the old love revived, and by a quarter
to one the old boy was weeping bitter
ly, and wishing he had been mure just
and true lo dear old Sum.
Presently came a knock at the door.
To m begged me to let him get out of
the way, not to show his emotion to
strangers. I put him iu the next room,
left the door a little open, and ' then
gave order for the admission of my
next visitor. Sum Welfit, of course !
I could see about his tremulous lip, the
moment he entered, that I should have
uu easv task with him. lie spoke soft
ly, luckily, or To in might hnve recog
nized his voice, but, as a preen ut ion,
monopolized all the talking, and spoke
iu a low tone, until I had Sam blub
bering like a child.
"After all, Sum," said 1 raisng my
voice, "you benefit by the death. Tom
Tilby would have been pleased enough
if it was your funeral tusteud of his!"
"No, he would uot," said Sam, with
emphasis ; "and for the money, I won't
touch" and then tinned while us a
sheet, and stared ut the door, from
wlr.ch T in Tilby came rushing, with
tears in his eyes.
"Tom !'
"Sam !"
The tivo shook hands with such per
sistence, I thought they would never
leave on". Dut ut last they turned
round to me, and intended to lecture
me for practical joking.
"His wit was not of the highest or
ing bid times--w 8 it, Sum?" stiid,
Tom Tilby.
"It's improved vastly," uid Sam.
"It's the best joke ho ever wus guilty
of !
"No," said I, "I've better in store "
and with that 1 opened tho door, at
which 1 heard a gentle tap that had
escaped their notice and led in Bessie
and young Tom ! Of course, those
trembling culprits-fell on their knees
when they saw their resptctive purents,
expecting a severe reprimand. Thai
reprimand was in each case, as I need
hardly toy, exchanged for a blessing!
Those old wills have been destroyed,
and I have drawn two new ones, by
which Tom und Bessie inherit all ti e
properties of tluir respective parents.
I am very gbiil I ueiit to that picnic
after all. 'Jew Jlovd.
