FOREVER THINE.

In the range English fugitive poetry few pieces are to
met Of deeper pahos tender feeling than the oow
oy Alarc A. Watts II breahes the very soul OF devoted al
iechon
Forever thine, whate'cr this heart betide,
Forever thine whereer our lots be cast
Fate that may rob OF all wealth beside,
Shall leave US love till life itself Dc past
rh. world m.v wrong us--we will brave its bate:
False friends may change, and talser hopes deeneS
rbonob bowed by cankering wen smile at tate,
Since thou art inine beloved and am thine
Forever thne-when circling years have spread
Times snowy blossoms o'er thy placed brow;
When Youths rich glow, its purple light IS hed,
And lilies bloom where roses flourish now
Say, shall love the fading beauty less,
Whose spring tide radiance has been wholly mlhe'
No come what will, thy steadast truth IL bless
In youth, in age, thine own forever thiae
Forever thine, at evenings dewy hour.
When gentle hearts to tenderest thoughts incline;
when balmiest adors from each closing flower
Are breathing round me-tmne, forever thine!
Forever thine amid the boisterous crowd,
When the Jest sparkles with the sparkling wine;
may not name thy gentle name aloud,
But drink to thee in thought-toreYer thine!
would not, sweet, profane thy silyery sound
The depths of love could such rude hearts divine
Let the loud laughter peal the toast go round,
My thoughts, my thoughts are thine, forever thine

notions. His courtshp is said to have been as fol-
lows Having one day mounted his horse, with
only sheep skin for saddle he rode in front OF
the house where Betty Lee lived, and without dis
mounting requested Betty to come TO him: on com
ing, he told her that the Lord had sent him there
to marry her. Betty replied, "The Lords will be

Proposals must be made for each class separately,
and separately for each district, and must state
the price per for classes | and g. and per
pound for other classes; and, in determining the
bids, the Postmaster General will accept the bid
for each class separately which shall seem best for
the interests of the Department.
Each proposal must be accompanied by and re-
fer to sample of the article proposed to be fur
nished; and the quality of such mpe will be taken
into consideration in determining the bids.
Each proposal must be accompanied by sufficient
evidence of the ability of the bidder to comply with
the terms Of his proposal.
The successful bidder will be required to enter
into contrast with two sufficient sureties required
by law.
Failures to furnish the articles promptly when
ordered, furnishing those of inferior quality in
any respect, any attempt to evade the true mean

cause for its forfeiture.

the extensions which would afford the bidder an
opportunity of fixing his price after the bids are

taken IN this city TOR several years, but their cost
has denied them anything like a general circulA-
ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves of the opportunity
OF possessing themselves of the republication OF
Messrs. Little Brown, which be had at less
than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From The Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, long felt
desiderGtuan-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal
lelcd despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court house. The style IN which
the work Is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with It,.
The page is large fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes us as
executed very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more TO
the value of the work. The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octavovolumes for the remark
ably low price of 8 10 per annum. We trust both
editors aud publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
