Her father replied, mo, my child, can.
not The child said, L though YOU
could not; am willing to die; / want to
be with Jesus, then reached her hand
to her father and said, Farewell, father

She then called her little school mates to
the bed, and said, | can 60 with you to

Pale and cold we see thee lying,
In Gods temple once so dear,
And the mourner's bitter signing
Falls unanswered on thine ear.
All thy love, and zeal to lead US
Where immortal fountains shine,
And on living bread to feed US,
In our sorrowing hearts we shrine.
May the conquering faith that cheer'd thee
When thy foot on Jordan prest,
Guide our spirits while we leave thee
In the tomb that Jesus blest.

In ascertaining the nett profit in the
foregoing statement, it will be seen we
have deducted SlO8 for the expense of cul.
tivating the root and extracting the sugar.
This is very liberal allowance, and pro-
badly something like double the amount of
the actual cost: Ofthe expense of cult
yatng the foot, every farmer can make
accurate calculations for himself and with
regard to the cost of manufacturing the su-
gar, it will depend materially upon the
cost Of fuel consumed In the process of
evaporation; and machinery and fixtures
employed In sections of the country
where fuel is scarce, and consequently is
high, il cannot exceed the deduction we
have made, and in places where it is pro-
cured at cheap rates, it will fall much be-
low our estimate.
We have other, statements of. profit.
which together with the process of manu-
featuring, we intend to give hereafter, and
in the mean time would ask our farmers
to throw away one half of the nett profit

"A BRIEF and well digested volume ofthe "A Reports of the Superior Court of this Territory, will be valuable, not only to the Bench and tine Bar, but to every man in the community, who has any thing to do with Courts ofjustice. To Justices of the Peace particularly, 1t would be most useful, as fixing the common principles of statutory, as well as common law, by which they must necessarily be guided, or prejudice the interests of the people. It is not probable that our statute law will be much changed for many years to come, and there IS no method of making the decisions of Courts uniform and consistent, half so available and effectual as publica- tion from time to time of the Reports of the Court of Errors and Appeals.
 OF The work will be published as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers shall bs obtained to warrant against loss-as the Re- porter and printer expects and desires no proft from the work.
 It will be printed on fine paper-of octave size. on clear type, and, including an index, and list leases referred to, will make a book of about three hundred pages. The price to subscribers will be fre dollars per copy. Subscribers can have their copies bound if they choose, before delivery-by paying the price of binding in addition.
