Go Scatter Flowers upon the Tomb,
BY +. ". HAWLEY,

BY +. ". HAwLEY,
Go scatter flowers upon the tomb,
Or plant them in Arabian sand,
And dream that they spring and bloom
AS in thy own Luxurious land
But think not in thy widest dream,
Ifhopc hath snappd her golden chain,
That Fortunes iaircst, suaniest gleam,
Can re-unite its links again.
Visit the sltterin, midnight hall,
Where revel laughs with ircnzied g.ce--
Where beauty throws her light Der all,
And claims the hearts idulatry.
Go tread amid the flowers of spring,
And wreathe thy brow with fragrance there
Poor foo, know'st not that d,aih can bring
Tho only opate for dt$par.'

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

IuE LHW UE NEW o1 M f1so'
Ifsubscribers order the discontinuance of
their newspapers, the publisher may continne
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon
tinued.
If subscribers move to other places without
informing hepublisher, and the newspapers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the office, or removing,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence ofintentional fraud.
