      The Conductors , In refereuce to several inquiries , cannot take upon themselves to assign reasons for either inserting or omittiug poetical communications . These articles are above all things the most difficult to make the subject of any such task . Neither can they be expected tp preserve or return such as are not adopted . They are obliged by such communications , but must receive them on cpnditlon of exercising the most absolute discretion . Olivia ' s lines are rather out of date . The MS . of Mr . J . J .
