Of the Philadelphia Bar.
1t is the object of this publication, to fur.
nlsh gentlemen of the bar, throughout the
United States, with the most important Brit
ish elementary treatises upon Law, in IA con-
densed form, which will render them far less
Expensive than works of this description
have hitherto been. To gentlemen residing
at distance from the principal cities, the
advantages of this publication will be an
parent. The very low price at which it will
be afforded, and the facility with which i'm
portant works, in the periodical form, can be
transmitted by mail, are the attractions upon
which it will depend for public favour.
The selection of the works to be embraf-
cedn this collection, will be confed to the
gentlemen above named, already widely and
favourably known TO the profession. 1t will
be understood that it forms no part of our
plan to admit original communications, or to
give the work in any degree, the character
of a journal. Distinct in its design, it can
not interfere with any existing periodical,
nor is it intended at any time to depart
from our present plan, which is, to reprint
British elementary treatises, suited to the bu-
slness and practice of this country, in more
cheap and convenient form than has ever
yet been done. For this purpose the pro-
prietor will receive from his agent in Lon
don, at the earliest date, every important
publication as 1t issues from the press.
The series will be commenced with Theo-
bald's "Practical Treaties on the law of prin-
ciPa and Surety, Particularly with relation
to Mercantile Guarantees, Bills of Exchange,
and Bail Bonds, l vol. svo. London, 1882
The price of this work is now $50 IS. The

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
ADril 10Th I332


N the late confagraton of the Treasury build.
Il ing, nearly all the correspondence of the Sc
cretary OF the Treasury, from the establishment OF
the Department to the 3lst March, 1888, was de.
stroyed including, as well the original letters and
communications addressed to the Secretary of the
treasury, as the records of the letters and CON-
munications written by him. With vrew to re-
pair the loss, as far may by practicable, all Of
ncers OF the United States, requested to cause
copies to be prepared, and authenticated by them,
Of any letters excepting those hereinafter alluded
toy which they may at any time have written to,
or received from, the Secretary of the Treasury
and all those who have been in Office and other in.
dividual throughout the United States, and else.
where, are invited to do the same. That this cor
respondence may be arranged into appropriate
books, it is requested that it be copied on folio
foolscap paper, with sufficient margin on all
sides to admit of binding, and that no more than
one letter be contained on leaf. 1t is also re-
quested that the copies be written in a plain and
distinct or engrossing hand. Where the original
letter can be spared, it would be preferred. The
reasonable expense incurred in copying the papers
now requested, not exceeding the rate of ten cents
for every hundred words, will be betrayed by the
department.
The correspondence which has been saved, and
OF which, therefore, no copies are desired, are
the records of the letters written by the Secretary
OF the Treasury to Presidents and Cashiers Of
banks, from the LIST October, 1919, to the Goth Feb.
ruary, 1888; all the correspondence relating Ia
Revolutionary claims under the act of 18th May
1923, and to claims of Virginia officers to half pay
nnder the act of 5th July, 1882; and to appiica.
tions for the benefits of the acts of the I'd March
1881, and 18th July, 1892 for the relief of certain
insolvent debtors of the United States. Cope.
OF some circular letters and instructions, written
10y the S eretary, have also been preserved: and
1t is requested that, before a copy be made Of
any circular letter instruction, written by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, the date and object oil
the circular be first stated to the department and
its wishes on the subject ascertained.

POETRY.
THE SNOWFLAKE.

Now, i'll fall, will it be my lot
To be cast in some lone, and lovely spot,
To melt, and to sink, unseen, or forgot?
And there will my course be ended?'
Twas this, feathery Snowflake said,
AS down thros,h measureless space i,
strayed
Or, as half by daliance, half afraid,
1t seemed in mid air suspended.
'Oh! no, so;d = Earth, 'thou shalt not lie
Neglected ). me on my lap to die,
Thou pure al delicate child of The sky!
For thou wilt be safe in my keeping.
But then must give thee lovelier form
Thou wilt not be part of the wintry storm,
But revive, when the sunbeams are yellow
and warm,
And the flowers fro. my bosom are
peeping!
sAnd then thou shalt have thy choice, to be
Restored in the lily that decks the lea,
In the jessamine-bloom the annemone,
Or aught of thy spotless whitenessi
To melt, and be cast in glittering bead,
With the pearls, that the night scatters
over the mead,
In the emp where the bee and the FREELY
feed,
Regaining thy dazzling brightness
sThcn will drop said the trusting Flake;
But bear in mind, that the choice make
Is not in the flowers, nor the dew TO wake;
Nor the mist that shall pass with the
morning.
For, things of myself, they expire with
thee;
But those that are lent from on high, like
me,
They rise and will live, from the dust be
free,
To the regions above returning
