LINES SUGGESTED ON HEARING a TALE OF
BI.IGHrED LOVE.


BLIGHrED LOVE.
In forest wild and dreary,
Where the winds sigh lone ond weary,
Sat maiden, memory haunted,
By lakclet all enchanted;
Every wave that swept the shore,
Sighed. "He ne'or will love thee more
Eyety breeze that sighed above,
Breathed tale of blghted love;
And the cchoing sigh she gave,
Joined the chorus OF the wave,
'rill mournful strain cume stealing
Soitly-then more wildly pealing,
Till the spirit voices wild
Startled even Sorrows child.
Thus they sung :-"Ah, hapless maiden,
Why art thou with sorrow laden?
Why did'st thou believe the smile
or being born TO guile
Why accept the changciu low
Which go soon was taught 20 ,o0
Better had'st thou sought s'a'e'
Far beneath this ripping wave
Sooncr wander wild ana areas-
Observation-Disclosures here;-
Sooner Weld thy heart to hate
Than be- doomed to such fate"
% Danish thought" the maiden CRIED
"And will be the wild winds bride;
o let ME drink of Lethe's stream,
And let the past be oil dream;
yield me to your magic power,
Though but scared and bligh,ed flower
And vet sigh but once again,
10 meet anu eoltiy piCosAo hohic.
40 meet him not !" the music breathed;
IA serpent round his heart is wreathed
Twill pierce him with its poisoned dart;
Though slow, twill reach his guilty heart;
Then drink of Leihe's cooling stream;
The past will then be all DREAM"
"pll drink-yet, ah"-the maiden cried
III now can never be his bride
The past, dark and dreary waste
Is flown, when of this stream taste;
And vet l pause on Memory's shore,
And sigh for love that is no more!-
WHY should puuse?-for Memory brings
Naught but its darkest deedliest stings
Yet still cling to sorrows past
And will not from my bosom cast
The anguish have borne for thee,
To be again so wildly free"-
"Then fare thee vel, the music sighed.
"Adieu adieu !" the maiden cried;
81 cannot drink of Lethes stream
would not have the past dream !"

WAHHlNoToN, January N, 1ebS.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication Of the english Reports in Law and
Equity in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered :,
will enable the bar generally in this way TO fur-
nish their Libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access 10
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems. or less modi-
fled, daily administered by the courts Of this coun
try. And, however modified these systems NAV
be, it is manifcst that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PusLicATIoN IN ESoLANp, CONSIDERATIONS
OF THE FIRST IMPoRTANcE; for, If the Reports of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
arc in the bands Of the profession the better.
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit Of the enter
prise.
am, with great respect, your obediont servant,
