The Sleeping Babes.
1 “as sum Mr, and a Sabbath eve,
Anu tlicair;
I saw a sight ihat made im .
And ycl lhai sight was fair;
XV nliin a little rolliu lay
Two Jifi less babes, as sweet as May.
Like waxen dolls, bat infants dress,
Their little bodies were;
A look of placid happiness
I fid on each face appear;
•And in the mUtn, • hurt and wide,
‘i bey lay together sale by side.
\ io.,e bud nearly dosed, I found,
Kunh little hand within,
\m! many a pink was strewed around,
W ill: i prigs oi jessamine ;
A id yet Ido (lowers that round them Ly,
M ere not to me more fair than they.
l imit mother, as a lilly pah-,
“hood by that endin'* head,
\||<l, bending o'er them, told her tale,
And many a It ar she shed ;
A e| oft she eiied. amidst livr pain,
My babe . and [ shall ineei again !'*

‘•Hues the wind howl, father J”

iIEI'CtIUOATIuN OF
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EOIXBIHGH RE HEW,
THE FOREIGN OLARTERLY REVIEW.
THE WESTMINISTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE-
The above Rcriodicals arc reprinted in
New York, m lined lately oil their arrival by
the ifiilish steamers, in a beautiful dear
type, on finewhite pap> r, and are faithful
copies ol the originals^—-Black wood's
NI agazixu being an exact fae-simiie ol the
Edinburgh edition.
The wide-spread fame of these splendid
Rcriodicals renders it needless to say much
lin their praise. As literary organs, they
stand far in advance of any works of a sim
, ilar stamp now published, while the politi
cal complexion of each is marked by a di"-
j oily, candor and forbearance not often found
i in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of tho three’
I great putties in England—\\ liig, Tory*
! aud Radical.—“Blackwood” and llm
: “London Quarterly” are Tory ; the “Ed
inburgh Review,’’ Whig; and the “Wcst-
I minister,” Radical. Tin: “Foreign Qu.ir
! lerly” is purely literary, being devoted
principally to criticism on foieign C’onti
i nental Works.
’ The prices of the Ri:-i*uints are less
; tlian one-tfiird ol those of, he foreign copies,
and while they are equally well got up,
they afford all that advantage to the Jjineei
i ean over the English reader.
