And oh cannot leave thee,
For hope is strong within;
That yet thou wilt forsake the cup,
The poisoned cup Of sin,
And be once more the comfort

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY

DROSPECTUS OF The NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the drec-
ton of Francis J. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is that
as fast as they appear, they become monopoies in
the hands Of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'M
der the plea Of right acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim un-
divided title to those works, and set burdensome
price on them. The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions of the works
of such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be included;
and digests Of equity and law decisions--works
which have been studiously kept out Of the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
IL This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers of l6O pages, printed on fine white paper, and
good new long primer type at dollars per an
mum, payable half yearly.

RUNS DoINGs.--A poor drunken man
who resides in the West part Of Mortified,
came home few days since, completely
soaked with liquor, and took upa favorite
cat he had in the house, carried it out to a
block he had in the yard, took his axe and
cut the poor animal up into pieces. The
monster then went into the house and took
his infant child from the cradle, carried it
out and placed it on the same block and
raised his axe to despatch the child in the
same way he had the cat, when his hand
was arrested by some person who happened
to be near, and the child was rescued.

The Rev. Thomas Spencer, Of England

effects Hartford, New Haven, Worcester, and
other places in New England. The Calen-
der, an Episcopal paper, published at Hart
ford under the canonical control Of the bish-
op of the State of Connecticut, perpetrates
the following sneer at MIR. Spencer:
ssThe Rev. Mr.. Spencer, clergyman Of
the Church Of England, is lecturing on Tenn
perance. We should think he had better be
preaching the Gospel, and administering the
sacraments, to which he has been set apart
by the Holy Ghost"
We should think that the man who could
pen such an article, had no conception of any
virtue Of the Gospel beyond the living and
no appreciation Of any virtue in the sacra-
ment beyond the literal wine.-.NY. Organ.
