Il is the miller's daughter.
And she has grown 80 dear, 90 dear,
That would be the jewel
That II tiembles in her ear;
For. hid iu riusleis day and night,
I'd touch her neck SO warm aud white.
And would be the girdle
About her dainty, dainty waist,
And her beart would beat against me,
In sorrow aud in rest;
And should know if it beat right,
I'd clasp it round 10 close aud. tight.
And would be the necklace,
And all day long to fall and rise
Upon her balmy bosom,
With her laughter or her sighs;
And would be SO light. so light.
scarce should be unclasped at night.

The hanghty could meet with pride,

Danger and death might deride;
But thy soft ga1c can't return.
Thy melting eyes, SO 5eaning bright,
Pure heavenly soul revealing
shrink their gase, or veil the sight,
My hearts emotion deep concealins.
The dazzling rays Of Sol, at noon,
Doth not exert so potent sway
The twinkllng stars, nor lucent moon,
Nor golden faucy's rich display.
For all their fascinating glare
Thy beautiful and modest mien;

Too we'll know the gulf between.

The law is strangely administered, owing,
perhaps, to strange freak OF communities III
the hestowal of sutfrages. A case IN point
occurred short time since, IN an adjoining
county, which may be cited as an illustration.
A Judge, meeting justice of the peace, be-
fore whom case had just been tired, re-
marked:
Esquire, / cannot see how you could pos
siby have given judgment against the PLAIN
tiff, in SO plain case?''
Judge" returned the other, 'I'll tell you
how it was: On last election day, treated
that fellow more than twenty times-bought
him new shirt, to make him look decent, and
let him have money to eectioneer on; and,
what do YOU think-the internal rascal went
agin me all day. And now, you see, this is
the fust hitch I've had at him since, and was
bound to put him through to the end OF the
string"
sBut, esquire, you should consider that
there are higher tribunals than justice, s
court, and your decision will most certainly
be reversed; and remember also, public opln-
ion"
LAS to your higher tribunals said the
esquire, IF they don't like my decisions, why
they can just resign; and as for the pubic
opinion, | wouldn't give a tlnker's cuss Tor It,
for expect that too, will go agln me next
election. The office is mine, now, and before
they get me out of it, I'll give some OF them
fe,ers regular fits in the way OF law
The Judge changed the subject by inqulrlng
after the health of the esquire's family.
