No wonder Dundrearv, in one I nost. misanthropic stories, says that it jf those things that no fellow can find t dips its long finger into everything, j ; effect is somewhat different from that follows the movement of the wrters in >1 when they are stirred by an angel, one case, healing follows; in the other, icss and anything but a curative i remains. The Albany Law ,/our considered good authority for the! ious utterances of the old dame, and j lowing it has to sav as to the coming id its added day, should he known by jusiness man in the state: law, it is said, takes no notice of parts i, and as to the 29th of February, it io notice of the whole day. The 28th ;h are eomputed as one day. For ex suppose a note is dated on'the 28th of iry, 1880, payable one day from date, j xily it would be payable "on the 4th of ! March, and so it is in leap year, and not on the 3d. In Indiana the question has recently come before the supreme court, in respect to j service of process in 187 G. the last leap year. The law there requires ten days' previous service for the entry of judgment. In the i case before the court the judgment was pre mature if the 2Ht.li and 29th of February were jto be computed as one day. The court said: 4 It must be regarded as settled in this state 1 that the 28th and 29th days of February in every bissextile year must be eomputed and considered in law as one day.' 44 The question is set at rest by our statute, , i 1 R. S., m. p. 610: s. 3. which provides that [ 4 the aililed day of a leap year and the day im [ mediately proceeding, if they shall occur in j any period so to be computed, shall be reckoned together as one day.' This cmbra ! ees statutes, deeds, verbal or written con- j tracts, and all public or private instrment. Old Year, Rest. Old year! Rest! thy work is done Thou shalt see earth's sin and sorrow Nevermore, beneath the sun: Ere the dawning of the morrow, Other hands shall ring the chime Of the morning march of Time; Old year! Rest! thy work is done. Angel spirits, hasten home! All thy sins have been forgiven; Snow-flakes fail ling from the dome, Are a pure, sweet sign from Heaven. That the gates have opened there To the touch of Faith and l'rayer; Angel spirits hasten home! Stricken mourners! wherefore weep? Love is kin to love supernal; Death is but a little sleep 'Tween two days, and one's eternal. Earth shall bloom again, in token, That no bud is lost or broken; Life and hope shall take new wing. With returning birds, in Spring. Stricken mourners! wherefore weep? Chas. M. Dickinson in llinghaniton lie publican. Personal.
