Dickens Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings OF Charles
Dickens so strong a hold upon the hearts Of
parents as the wel-known excellence Of his
portrayal of children and their interests -
These delineations having received the ap-
prova Of readers Of mature age, it seemed a
worthy effort to make the young also partici-
pluts in the enjoyment Of these classic tictions.
With this view, the different child charac-
tiers have been detached from the large mass
Of matter with which they were originally
connected. and presented in the authors own
language, to new class of readers, 10 whom
the little volume will, we donbt not, be as at
lractve as the larger originals have 50 long
proven to the general public.
A series of twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among Others, the follow
ing characters: Little Paul" from Dombey
& Son " Smike," from Nicholas Nickleby ;
" Little Nell" from The Old Curiosity Shop !;
The Child Wife," from David Copperiieid,
&c, &c.
A new edition of the first volume Of this
series, Little Paul" from Dombey & Son,
has inst been issued, illustrated by Darley,
aud aiiractivcy bound. The other volumes
will follow at short intervals.

4 HYMN OF FAITH.

J would not, with these earth-bOund feet,
Aspire to press that road
Where hither- coming angels meet
Those going back to God;
Nor do feel that human span
May measure reach so broad
As thine is: nor that mortal man
Can think the thoughts OF god;
| would not strain these wearied eyes
Thy hidden things 10 zee,
Nor blind them in the light that lies
About infnity:
For never yet the searchings made
OF men have found Thee out;
And who Thy myst'ries nave essayed,
Have only learned to doubt
Yet would find Thee. oh my Lord,
By faith. and with that key
WoLld open wide the sealed gates
or Thine eternity;
Would see Thee. as who climbs, yet low,
Anticipates the view;
Would know Thee, as the flowers know
The ministry of dew;
Would rest upon Thy fatherhood,
While 'round and over me
0utspreads the awful amplitude
OF Thy infnitY.
Ny inmost soul doth draw from Thee
It's sure vitality,
Who holdest in Thy palm the sea
Oi Immortality.
Bapti=e me from that boundless spring
Of holy waters, and
Then lay on me, my Lord and King,
Thy sanctiiying hand.

PAsTURING CATTLE ON THE HIGHWAY
The Philadelphia Times in a recent article
says 1t is popularity supposed that the
fruit and grass growing along public road
are public property, This is not the case
Every person has the right to pass along the
road but has no right to the products grow
ing by the roadside. Whenever the traveller,
or cattle and hogs running at large, diverge
on either side of the limits of the road they
become trespassers. The true office of out
side fences, and of ali fences, is not to keep
out the stock of n neighbor but to keep in
ones own. Much is said of the cruelty of
preventing the poor man from turning his
COW out in the public road but it seems that
in strict equity the right to turn cattle at
large does not exist, and again, it is well
known that the road cow is mostly addicted
to fence breaking and to jumping, and is,
therefore, great nuisance Every person
who turns his stock into the public road, for
the purpose of pasturing them, does so at the
risk of having them impounded by the owner
of the land alongside of which they may be
found

Il port to your Honors that they have dill
gently attended TO the duties imposed upon
them by law, and find that there have been
but few fragrant violations of law.
We visited the Almshouse and found
everything in good order. There are
twenty-three inmates who are well provided
for and as happy and contented as persons
in their position could be.
We have also visited the Jail, and we re
greet to say that it is a disgrace to the
county. 1t is poorly ventilated and is an
utterly unfit place'to conline human beings.
1t appears. however, to be kept us clearly
and managed as humancly by the present
Sheriff as circumstances will admit.
We found confined in the Jail four per-
sons for larceny, four for assault and battery
and two serving out sentence.
