Sweet are my dreams Of thee,
Beautiful Stella
Puro as tho stcr-beams
Tha. herald the morn;
Brig than rose, buds,
That glitter when freshly
BedewOd with tie pearl-drOps
Of days early dawn.
Often my thoughts will stray,
Sadly and drearly,
To those dear wal Ks which
Together we've trod
Building air-csstles,
And dreaming of beauties
That outvicd in brightness
The B!9ries Of God !.
Dreams oil Dreams Ill, lOvcl
Forever wc'rc parted
Adcu'to those day dreams
That erst were 20 bright!

A RICH CAsE.-Quite an anus

this place On Monday and Tuesday last. II
seems that a blacksmith, residing some,

said employee had been engaged in selling
tools and other materials belonging TO his
employer. besides being guilty of several.

by The moral code. These are about the
iacts Of The case. as near rs we could as.
certain them. The great difficulty SEEMED
to b" that the plaintiff cUull not iiantil,
