fENHE design Of this work, which has been
i very carefully prepared by Judge L. O.
| Bridewell, of Copiah county, and which will
| supersede the FORM Book here ofore issued
| by the undersigned, is to impart to novices,
| gentlemen not learned in the Jaw above their
| fellows" the routine of business required of
won when they assume the responsible and
then important office of Justice of the Peace.
| Under the present Constitution of Mississip-
pi, the Jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in
Civil Suits is raised to one hundred and fifty
dollars, and in all criminal matters their Ju-
risdictlon is concurrent with that of the Cir
cult Courts in all cases where the punishment
prescribed by the laws does not extend beyond
a fine and Imprisonment in the county jail.
The Office is cerainl Y one of great dignity, and
the main design of this work is to be of some
assistance to the unlearned Justice of the
Peace by placing the law relating to his jurs-
diction before him In compact form, with forms
and preCedents, covering almost, if not every
case, which can come before him. Notes are
| added to many of the forms for the guidance
and information of the Justice, endeavoring
thereby to explain the law and use of the FORM
so that none, however ignorant of the law
generally, can 60 far wrong.
The Law as found in the Code of 1871, and
in the pamphlet Acts since, SO far as it is dis
tinctly appica bic to the Justice of the Peace
the practice in his Court, will be given full, in
| arranged under appropriate heads. The whole
will be carefully and fully indexed. Alto
gether, we hazard nothing in saying that it
will be the most complete Manual for Justices
of the Peace ever published in this. or, per-
haps any other State, and will be useful to
every attorney, every public officer, every
merchant, and indeed every citizen. AS the
work will not be stereotyped, and as the edi-
ton will be limited 10 the probable demand
those who would secure copies, should file their
their orders without delay. The MISSISSIPPI
JUSTICE will make volume of about five hun
dred pages, will be printed on best quality of
paper, and substantially bound. Price, by
mail $500. Address,

with the proper documents made a descent

found. 1t is said several other places were
visited with how much success, we have
no information. There was a general
skedaddle for the hills and mountains and
but few witnesses can probably be found SO
great was the emigration in few hours,
that it may come under the description OF

"Flowers are the alphabet OF Angels"
Who would wish to live Without fl Iwers?
Where would tie poet fly for his imsg1s of
beauty if they were to perish frever Are
they not tie emblems Of loveliness and in
nocence, the loving types of all that is
pleasing and graceful? We compare young
lips TO the rose, and the white brow TO the
radiant lily. The winning eye gathers lis
glow from the violet and sweet voige is
like breeze kissing its way through fow-
ers. We hang delicate blossoms on the
silken riDglets of the young bride, and strew
her path with the fragrant bells when she
leaves the church. We place them around
the marble face of the dead in the narrow
coffin, and they become symbols of our af-
fections, pleasures remembered and hopes
faded, wishes flown and scenes cherished,
the more that they will never return. Sull
we look TO the far off spring in other val
leys, to the eternal summer beyond the
grave where the flowers which have faded
shall again bloom in starry fields where no
rude winter can intrude. They come up
on us in spring like the recollections OF .
dream which hovered above us in sleep,
peoped with shadowy BEAUTIES and pur-
pie delights, fancy y-bordered, sweet fiowersl
that bring before our eyes scenes of child
hood, faces remembered in youth, when
love was a straRger to himself The mossy
banks by the wayside where we 30 often
sat for hours drinking in the beauty of the
primrose with our eyes, the sheltered glen,
darkly green, filled with the perfume of
violets that shone In their intense blue like
another sky spread upon the earth, the
laughter of many voices. the sweet song OF
the maiden, the downcast eye, the spread
ing blush, the kiss ashamed at its own
sound, are all brought back to memory by
flower. RAo.
