THE PRINTER’S LOVE.
We love to see the blooming rose-
In all its beauty drest;
We love to hear our friends disclose,
The emotions of the breast.
We love to sec a ship arrive,
Well laden to cur shore;
We love to see our neighbours thrive,
And love to bless the poor,
We love to sec domestic life,
With nninterrupted joys;
W’e love to see a youthful wife,
Not pleased with trifling toy s.
We love a!! these—yet far above,
All that we ever said,
W'e love—what every Printer tovts,
To hove subserptions paid.
following -beautiful lines were written by
Mr. Adams, who is now the President of the
United States, when a young man, in a travel
lers’ Album, kept at a cottage on the Giant's
Head, a high mountain in Silesia. Mr. Adams
Was the first American, who ever-visited the
mountain. Resides the classic elegance of the
poetry, these lines breathe a spirit of piety and
affection, which forms the best and brightest
ornament, that can adorn tho exalted cliarac-
ter of the chosen ruler of a free people.
r from lands beyond tbc vast Atlantic tide,
.Celestial freedom’s most belov’d abode,
'Wanting, I climb’d the mountain’s craggyside,
And view’d the wondcrous trorlj of Nature’s God.
Where yonder summit piercing to the skies,
Behold* the earth beneath it with disdain.
O’er all the regions round I cast my eyes,
And anxious seek my native home—in vain.
A* to that native home w hich still enfolds
Thoseyonthful friendships to my soul so dear,
Still you, my parents, in its bosom holds,
My fancy flew, I felt the starting tear.
Then hi the rustling of the morning wind,
Me thought I heard a spirit whisper fair ;
“ Pilgrim forbear, still upward raise thy mind,
J.ook to the skies— J thy native home is there!”

ON' MISS ANN BREAD—A Pun.
While toasts their lovely graces spread,
And lops around them flutter ;
I’ll be content with Anne Bread,
And wont have any but-hcr.
We meet the following anecdote in a
British Magazine of 1782;—When Corn
wallis dined with General Washington
for the first time, Rochambeau being ask-
ad for a toast, gave “ The United States.”
Washington gave “ The King of France."
Cornwallis gave “ The King!” but Wash
ington, in putting the toast, added “ of
^England—and confine him there, and I’ll
drink him in a full bumper,” (filling the
glass till it ran over.)
Amendment of the Law.—It is gener
ally known that there are sundry princi
ples of the Common Law requiring alter
ation at the hands of the Legislature; and
We shall make it our business to specify
such as occur to us, from time to time.
The first is—i he preferences given
among the various debts due by deceas
ed persons, on such debts being paid by
their representatives. Judgments a-
jgainst the deceased take the precedene of
all ; bonds or other obligations under
Had come next; and common accounts or
promissory notes are last. And, of these
last, those in which judgment is first re
covered against the executor or adminis
trator, are, legally entitled to payment be
fore those on which no suit has been
brought. The consequence of this sys
tem of preferences Is, that when the es
tate left by the deceased is inadequate
to the discharge of all Iris debis, such as
have priority are p id in full, while the
fest remain wholly unpaid—and this
when the actual existence and validity of
all the debis, both in law and equity, is
indisputable. Now, a payment pro rain
would better correspond with our ideas of
public justice.
The second is, the doctrine of conslruc-
lion by which a tenant of premises is ob
liged to pay rent after the tenement may
have been destroyed by fire ; unless he
shall have taken the precaution to specify
a corresponding exception in his lease.
Ma oy persons, ignorant of this rule,- take
leases, (often for a number of years,)
Without inserting a clause avoiding the
rent in case of fire ; and should fire take
place, even before the first year is over,
they are legally responsible for the rent of
the whole term. We have known a case
of this kind to occur ; and all will admit
that it is one of great hardship, We
would suggest that the present exception
he converted into the rule, and the pres
ent rule be changed into the exception.—
We believe no person ever hires a dwell
ing with the idea of becoming chargeable
Tmh rent after the house shall have been
burnt over his head ; but if such he really
the understanding of the parties at the time
of their agreement, the law as altered in
the manner recommended, would, of
course, offer no. impediment. It is to be
remembered that the law in neither way
controls the act of the landlord, and ten
ant, or conflicts with the arrangement
They have thought proper really to make;
^.hepresent objection is, that the manner in
Which it construes- such arrangement, (as
.above stated) is obviously different from
the common intent, and should be chang
ed as forming, at present, a snare ,for the
unwary.— The N. Y. Sta esman.
Aorth-Carolina Gold.—From a Re
port made to Congress, at its present ses
sion,by the Directer of the 3fint, of its ge
neral transactions during the past year, the
-oilowing facts appear. The coinage ef-
HcteJ within that period, amounts to
g3itr24,342 32. Of the Gold bullion
deposited at the Mint within the last year,
the proportion received from Mexico,
South Amcfica, and the West Indies may
be stated at 76,51)0 dollars ; that from N.
Carolina at 21,00Q.dollars, and that from
Africa at 15,000 dollars leaving about
20,000 dollars derived "from sources not
ascertained. The whole amount received
from N. Carolina, to the present period,
is nearly $110,000. This Grdd lias gen
erally been found to exceed it: fineness the
standard of our gold coins. "

The Gloucester Telegraph mentions
that tfic borer, a species of worm very des
tructive to tiie fishing craft, was taken
from a boat and found to be 12 incites in
length. The hole was as large as the
bowl of a tobacco pipe while tne insect
was not larger than the stem. Its head
was so contrived that it could bore a hole
from one half to an inch in diameter, and
had some resemblance to a screw augur,
playing hut half round, returning and cut
ting each way, the pith passing through
the body of tho worm.
Law Challenge.—Our readers will re-,
member ihc important poijit of law rais
ed during the trial of Lesher, in this city,
lor murder. The question was, whether,
a juror declaring that he was conscien
tiously averse to joining in a verdict which
would take away the life of a fellow crea
ture, and that he would not find such ver
dict, was a sufficient cause of challenge.—
The Court of Oyer and Terminer deci
ded it was sufficient cause, and set the ju
ror aside. The point was reserved upon
a motion fitt a new trial, and fully argued

THE CA
OR
Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment,
EMBELLISHED WITH SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS.
T HF patronage that has already been extend
ed to the Casket, has not only exceeded
our most sanguine expectations, hut, if we mis
take not. is unprecedented in the annals of
monthly literature. This success has induced us
to give the work a more attractive form for the
present year, as well in its literary department,
as well as in its decorations and typographical
arrangements. A new font of type has beeu pro
cured, upon which it is printed ; the size and
number of the pages are to be considerably ex
tended and they are also enlarged, and paper
superior to that formerly used, is employed in its
publication ; meantime, that every department
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve
ment, arrangements having been entered into
with artists, for various decorations and orna
ments. The usual number of copper-plates will
be found, and it is proposed to furnish each num
ber with tico wood engravings, instead of one. as
heretofore. The wood engravings representing
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, wili be accompani
ed by well written descriptions of events and ex
hibitions connected with the picture—each re
flecting upou the other's interest and value.
It is our desire to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to whom periodi-
1 cal literature generally addresses itself; and we
shall feel called upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, while n proper
inducement will be held out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich cur
Casket.
These regulations can be effected without any
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga-
ziue of small paragraphs, that must enter into
all literary works; inasmuch as the size of the
work will be very considerably enhanced—its
contents, thesefore, assumes a more diversified
form, and boasts an increase of solid matter.
The price of the Casket will be $3 50 per an
num. payable within three months after the re
ceipt of the first number—but, if the subscription
is paid in advance, $2 50 will be received as pay
ment in full.
The arrangements which we have made for the
publication of the Casket, warrant us in assuring
its patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, any
work of the kind that has been published ; wh le
its price is scarcely half that of the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to intimate theii wishes by sending us the
subscription in advance—the increasing exi -enses
of the paper, printing, engravings, &c. render it
absolutely necessary for us to be furnished with
the means of meeting expenditures promptly.
