To gentlemen residing at distance from the
principal cities, the advantages of this pubI-

SEES, suited to the business and practice of this
country, in more cheap and convenient form
than has ever vet been done. For this pur-
pose the proprietor will receive from his agent

tant publication as 1t issues from the press.

For the Wing

Ut Tue WING
| love to sit in some lone bower,
And watch earth's beauties fade away;
| love to see the dropping flower
Fleet by zephyrs borne away.
Ere autumn's sun ilumes the day,
love to seek some favorite stream,
To see earth's foliage borne away,
As silent as the midnight dream.
AT twlight's hour love to climb
Some lofty mountains towering height,
To view the beauties left behind,
And watch, as she comes, the Silly night
love to hear the autumn wind,
AS through my easement lone it steals;
1t has charm to sooth the mind,
A charm, which that alone reveals.
love to view each rising star,
Its nightly walking forth begin,
While Cynthia journeying from afar,
BY her bright subjects ushered in,
Shedding her beams of radiance round,
The works of autumn bids one view;
See the scared leaves bestrew the ground,
See the lone branch on which they grew.
Methinks then through the bamy air,
A noiseless voice comes stealing DER,
To bid me in each object there,
An emblem of my fate explore.
The towering branch, its beauties gone,
Speaks loudly of mans destiny;
His friends are falling one by one,
Like leaflets strewn for sure decay.
1t tells us all our hopes are vain,
When placed on earth's fast fading flowers
Whose every cup contains apain,
A blight for every hope of ours.
1t bids us look beyond this earth,
To seek our pleasures from on high,
Pleasures of heavens celestial birth,
Pleasures never born to die B.

Inc subscriber proposes preparing for publ
cation work with the above title. The SEN
timent expressed in the quoted extract, pre-
ssnts the only motive which has induced him
t, undertake it, Our courts are the exposi-
tors of the law; the constitution has vested
them with authority to consirue and decte
and though they have not power to control
individual opinions, yet, by their construc
tons and their decisions, must we be guided
IN the administration Of justice and in the APP
p'icatien OF law to the business of life. Till
within short time, the decisions of the high
est judicial tribunal of the state have been a
sealed book to majority of the people and
the profession. The publication of BREEsE's
REPORTS, the first work of the kind published
in the state, has removed difficulty which
the profession seriously felt, and has had the
effect not only to elevate the character of our
judges and remove doubts on disputed points.
but also to prevent needless litigation on
questions previously decided. A very casual
perusal of that work will convince the rea-
der that much time, trouble, and expense, and
perhaps more serious consequences might have
been prevented, had the decisions of cases
been regularly published as made. And as
the business of the courts is increasing eve
ny year, both in Importance and the number
of cases, the utility, in fact the necessity of
regular publication of their determinations
becomes more and more apparent
The subscriber has, therefore. thought he
might render the public some service in is
suing the publication above named. In the
attempt,he aspires to nothing more than to give
faithful transcript Of the records of the court,
with some references to previous decisions and
such suggestions from the council in each case
as it may be practicable TO obtain. 1t is the
intention TO make it the first Of a series, to be
continued annually, and issued as soon as
practicable after the expiration of each term.
The future numbers, if the undertaking be
encouraged, will contain, in addition to what
is proposed for the present number, synopsis
of the arguments Of council, brief of author
tiles cited, and such other information as an
attendance on the courts shall enable the
compiler to obtain. S. c. SHERMAN.
