OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
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 without priority of claim
on the partof any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities Un-
der the plea of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an 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 writer's as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archbod, 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 Philadelp phia-shall have a
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law. t3fF

From the S. C. Temperance .adUoeaie
A TOPPER Bit

A topper who'd been drunk all night,
Awaked one morning just at light;
And though II was pleasing morn,
He needs must have his usual q. hornn
To clear away the clouded skies,
Which lay before his dropping eyes,
And give his yawning stomach ease,
Which was beginning him to tease.
And to accomplish this design,
He quickly did way define;
A way which he had tried before,
Perhaps thousand times or more;
That was to stop directly in
A bar and get drink Of gin,
SOf brandy, whisky, rum, or wine,
Or any liquid in that line.
So off he started in a pace,
With trembling limbs and bloated face,
To try the sovereign remedy,
Which oft had checked his misery,
But had not travelled far before,
He stepped into little store,
Which was the very place that he
Had sought with such anxiety.
But he did not tarry long,
Before he uttered forth the song,
Of " set me out some bitters quick,
For am at my stomach sick"
The keeper Of the store turned round
And handed him bottle down,
From which, without single stop,
He filled tumbler to the top.
He then around it did enclose
His hand, and raised it to his nose;
But paused awhile to take smell,
And said, Ihope you'll make me well.''
And then with a most horrid frown,
He swallowed all the contents down;
But scarcely gave his mouth smack
Before all came rolling back.
He tried it DER and o'er again,
But all his efforts were in vain,
For he was now so very sick,
He could by no means make it stick"
But every time he belched it up,
He caught it all back in the cup,
And sat it down quite in despair,
And took seat upon chair.
A brother topper then stepped in,
And with a sly and pleasing grin,
He eyed the glass then setting full,
AT which he longed to get "pull,"
Accordingly he raised it up,
fHu cupticu uOWH his IHfOaI Tic cup
And then without "hem' or " cough"
He turned around and started off.
Halloo halloo!" the former cried,
"What do you want !" the next replied.
why, if that drink, (said he, has stuck,
! must exclaim for you good luck.,n
And why do you wish good luck to me''
Replied the second angrily,
8 Oh nothing, only before
Have tried it twenty times or more"
