And you, dappled Flora conceal thy gay form;
 You'll die with consumption. out here in the storm;
 The air is more bland round the linden tree
 Your tulips. and roses, are nothing to me.
 The noisy lark, to the green isle has gone;
 l need not his cry at the early dawni
 The robin is far from his summer most,
 The thrush is away to his winter rest: n ask not their songs at the twilight hour. Nor the whippoor l's plant from his dusky bower Away to your homes, then, go happy and free,
 Your songs at their sweetest are nothing to me-
 I'll roam unmolested through darkness and light, The earth shall look sad with my mantle of white
 I'll labor the monarch, the slave, and the free,
 For what is your sceptrc, or homage to me?

 RaI ROad R"les.-Somesime since the conductor on the Boston railroad forcibly elected black man from one Of the cars in which he was forbidden to ride.

The trial took place Boston on Monday, and the court fully sustained the conductor in what he had done. The company had full right to make by. laws for it's government and the conductor, as its agent, had the power to enforce them.

 Advertising Here's good idea on the subject of advertising :-"f dealer has an article of which he ."iOhee to "'aho quick ret"rn, and consequently is willing 10 sell at small profit he is sure to adver- tse ii; but if he intends to make large profit ont of his customers. he is generally sly abou, it. Men and who have their teeth cut, will never deal at store where they do not advertise" Remember that.
