2. If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their paper, the publisher way continue to
send them until all airesrages are paid, and
subscribers are responsible for all tho uumb^rs
sent.
8 If subscribers neglect or relhso to take
their papers from the office to which they nre
directed, they are held responsible till they
have settled their bills, and ordered their pa-
pers discontinued.
4. 'I'ho courts have decided' that a refusal

PJI THINKING.
M hen thinking, and hoping, and dreaming.
Sad como ihe deep voices of time,
From my circle of life,
Of love, pleasure and strife,
^Ttll longing, and floating, and dreaming,
I sigh for my own native clime.
As musing, and sinking, and rising,
My old "Alma Mater" appears,—
All her former sons fled
With the living or dead,
Some honored, somo sinking, some' rising,
I'm curtained in sorrow artd tears.
Ah! stranger, I'm thinking.—aye, thinking
In mem'ries far deeper than sense,
Of the tomb of my mother^
Darling sister and brothor
Of boyhood, and manhood, I'm thinking,
Inspired with a nameless suspense.

non (about which thete was some difficulty)
ha swore he would ftr* it, if it iteto him to
perdition—whén lo! the penalty of this
rash act, was the loss of an arm and both
eyes. Mercy spared, his life a-few years,
and as he by the aid of his friendly staff
threaded ttie streets of his native village,
dependant, blind, and almost helpless, to tqe

Again J remember a tall manly form; his
brow shaded with rich uut br^wn locks,
which as the breeze swayed to and fro, glis-
tened in the golden sunshine, and seemed
beautiful as those of the ill-fated Absolom.
To the altar lie led a maiden distinguished
for beauty, grace, and ^feminine loveliness
Reared in the lap of luxury, her heart had
known no bitter grief: all strung and tuned
to harmony she only Mived to lovebut
alas! the social nature of her husband led
him where the boon companions of John
Barleycorn were wont to congregate, and
soon, too «oon, 'his steps took hold on death.9
Now his widowed wife and two orphan chil-

the frowns of a God forgetting world, while
he whose strong arm should have been
their shield, fills an unhonored grave—the
victim of the cunning treachery of John

by rdlalir,
[Read in the AshcVille Division before a
jury empanelled to try the case of the far-
famed John Barleycorn.]
I am called to give testimony before the
honorable court of Humanity, relative to
the general character of the notable John
Barlcyoorn, a cosmopolite, and for many
years a resident of the 4State of Buncombe.1
Though fully sensible of my inability to ao«
complish the task in such a manner as to
interest tltjs august body, yet having cho-
,son \Duty' bMbre Pleasure' as the motto of
my life, and knowing that he that cone4al-
eth a matter, ii to some extent a partaker
of the guilt, I here freely and candidly re-
hearse what I know pf the aforesaid John
Barleycorn, confining myself strictly to my
own personal observation.
1 know that like tho wily serpent wliioh
found entrance into the peaceful shades of
Eden, he invades/with malice aforethought,'
the sanctuaries of Home, for through his
seductive influence, I have seen the doating
wife neglected, her domestio felicity blight-
ed, her robust Constitution broken down, bt
daily over extftfon, and nightly toil with the
needle, to earn a meagre support ibr her
helpless children, whoso bread had been
squandered by the father in the aooiety of
John Barleycorn,-
I have seen the che^k of the daughter, as
she stood upon the tiiresbhold'of woman-
hood, mantled by the blush of shame* as
she saw her Utilised, father reel 'neatbe
the potent stroké of John Bavloyoorn.
have seen iha^ sains daughter lé^iro the
boioe of liér youth where she should have
scattered tho flowers of affeotioti, and go
^pth in her Hender teens' lo 'paddle her
bold, andr blushed not to be seen amid the
public thoroughfares inhaHng^the spit it of
John Barleycorn—closer and closer grew
the intimjicy, until the wife of his bosom
and his youthful daughters became'a At**
and a by-word1 on his unhallowed tongue.
Oftqn in the cliilj night time would he with
demoniac vengeance chuso them from room
to room, until driven to the street, they
% would be for ced to seek shelter'ncathe some
neighIwrs friendly roof! One night lást.
Winter he repaired to a fashionable resort
ot his flénd-üke enemy closely as within
th§ coils <d the anaconda, he became ehfd-
ded in his embrace. At a late hour, a faith-
ful servant bore him to his chamber, and:;
laid him dowrt- to rest —- fdial dumber / \
when the morning dawnctiliis heart stricken
family were aroused by the sounds of deep,
heavy snoring--a physioian was hastily
summoned—vainr-^-the"* poisonous
spirit had infixed itself through every part
of his system ; bis1 ear whs deaf to the pite-
ous waitings of #óe which resounded thro'
his home, his eye closed forever upon the
world of beauty,*AUd amid the howlings*of
the wintiy blast, they bore his bloated re-
mains to tho narrow house, in the 'silent
city of the dead.'
Í And now, gentlemen óf the jury, these
"woblé sketches Sire no idle chimeras of the
brain, no limniiig from Fancy's pencil, but
only a few of the real occurrences that I
have mtneseed• and believe me when I. as-
