POETRY. [From the London Court Journal.] COME home: The fancy and sentiment of the following composition are alone sufficient to recommend it to poetical readers; and such readers will readily trace the verses to the pen of a lady. B®l they ought to have an additional interest in English eyes, being addressed by an Ameri can a beloved brother who is now stay ing in the metropolis. They may not unfairly be taken as a specimen of the tone and charac ter of the American poetry of the present day . and however feebly such reflections may strike others, to us there is something of pride and joy in the thought of our own language being used thousands of miles away, to produce nuiribers so musical, and to express feelings so characteristic of the human heart in every clime. Come home, Would I could send my spirit o’er the deep, Would I could wing it like a bird to thee, To commune with thy thoughts, to (ill thy sleep With these unwearying words of melody, Brother, come home. Rt Come home, Come to the hearts that love thee, to the eyes TLat beam in brightness but to gladden thine, Come,where fond thoughts, like holiest incense rise, * Where cherish’d memory rears her altar s 3gg. shrine, Brother, come home. Come home. Coipe to the he&rth-stone of thy earlier days, Come to the ark like the o’er wearied dove. Come with the sunlight ofthy heart s warm rays Coine to the fire-side circle of thy love, Brother, come home. Come home, it is not home without thee, the lone seat Is still unclaim’d where thou were wont to be; In every echo of returning feet, In vuj* we list for whut’should herald thee, ~ Brot®r,come home. * * Coine home, We’ve nurs’d for thee the sunny lmdsof spring. Watched every germ the full-blown flower r ets rear; Saw o'er their bloom the yhilly winter fling Its icy garlands, and thou art not here, Brother, cornu home. Come home, Would I could send my spirit o’er the deep, Would I could wing it like a bird to thee— To commune with thy thoughts, to fill thy sleep With these unwearying words of melody, Brother, come home. $ C. 11. W. FAME. To die, and leave behind Naught of surviving fame— Os the divine, creating mind No trace, no single name ; To know no deed, no word, Our memory to restore, But that, when gone, there shall be heard Os us no mention more ! Nay, mock not that thou hear’st me sigh ; My friend ! this is indeed to die. But to live on and on, Among the great, the good, Eternal station to have*won "Mid that high brotherhood ; Deep in the hearts of men Enshrin'd to be; To shine a beacon to the ken Os far posterity : Who would not days for ages give ? Who would not die, seen life to live ? What idle words are theirs, Who bid us bound our powers To passing pleasures, present cares, Jpjlrief as the fleeting hours 1 Spdeein'd not they, 1 ween, great of other days, Whose brows still wear the living green, Whose lamps still brightly blaze ; So deemed not they, who struck the lyre W ith Milton's truths, with Homer's fire. # Iff' No ! from a fount divine, Tb< 'se restless longings come— This hope in honored light to shine Above the cold dark tomb. Oh ! when from life 1 part, Let me not wholly die ; Still with sweet song to charm the heart, Or raise with musings high, Still live in tli6 remember'd line— Oil! might this glorious meed be mine.

From the Preface to her American edition of ‘•Characteristics of Women.’’ Could wc hut, in real life, look into any j heart as Shakspeare lias permitted us to look ! into Juliet’s and Lady Macbeth’s, —could we follow the whole course of feeling in any fem inine inind, —trace correctly the links that i connect certain consequences with remote 1 causes, often rendering what we most condemn, n dread necessity derived from foregone con clusions—could wc, in short, see the whole, and clearly, what we now see only in parts, anil darkly—all that tempted to wrong, all that ! blinded to right, we should not then presume, i from the little known, to infer the unknown ; j to set ourselves up as accusers, judges, cxecu i tioners, all at once : we should have more mer |ry upon each other—as becomes '■good wo- I men.’ Men make it a general accusation against us as a sex, that we are ill-natured, unfair, pit iless, in judging one another. They say that when women get together,£t every word a reputation dies ;” they say that as a savage proyes.bi. heroism by displaying his grim ar ray. the torn scalps 1 1 ids enemies, so fi wo man thinks she proves her v irtue by exhibiting the mangled reputation of her friends ; they say—hut there is fto end to the witty imperti- j nonces, and fag ends of rhymes from Simoni des to Pope, which they fling at us on the sub ject. I have never heard men so eloquently satirical, as when treating with utter scorn the idea that a woman can jiossihly elevate her self in the eves of one of their sex by degra- j ding, or suffering to be degraded, mil of her own; and in their censure they are right—. quite right; but wrong—quite wrong, in att.ri-, huting this, our worst propensity, to ill-nature j and jealousy. Ignorance is the main cuuse; ignorance of ourselves and others ; and i when I have heard any female acquaintance j commenting with a spiteful, or a sprightly lev-; ity, on the delinquencies and mistakes of their I sex, 1 have only said to myself, ‘they know j not what they do.’ Here then, 1 present to! woman a little elementary manual or intro duction to the knowledge of women, in which ■ they may learn to understand better theirown ! nature—to judge more gently aml more truly j of each other.

It is • recorded, in a recent Knglidi paper, that the Sexton and grave digger of the church and town of Dedham, (England) had nearly finished digging a grave ten feet deep when a great quantity of earth from each side of th • grav e suddenly caved in and completely buried him. The accident was discovered by a man who was passing through the church yard, when curiosity led him to go and look at the grave : he then discovered that the earl li had fallen in, and heard a slight groan, and in a few seconds the groan was repeated. lie immediately sus pected it proceeded from under the loose earth and supposing that the grave digger, might have been accidently buried, he called out “Sam, arc you there?” when lie immediately heard another groan, that satisfied his suspi cions were not ill-founded. lie gave the alarm, and in a very short time a considerable number of inhabitants were at the spot, and every exertion was used to clear th l * loose earth out of the grave, but it was nearly twenty minutes before the body of the unfortunate man was extricated and he was found lifeless in his “little kingdom of a forced grave.”— [Transcript. - ♦ Education ok Daioiitf.rs. —Since there is a season when the youthful must cease to he young, and the beautiful to excite admiration, to learn how to g row old gracefully is perhaps, one of the rarest and most valuable arts that can be taught to women. And, it must he confessed that it is a most severe trial for those women to lay down beauty who have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober season of life that education should lay up its resources. However disregarded hitherto they may have been they will be wanted now. When admir ers fall uwav and flatterers become mute, the mind will be driven to retire into itself, and it' it find no entertainment at I tome, it will be uriv en back again upon the world with increasing force. Yet forgetting this, do we not seem to enducate otir daughters exclusively for the tran sient period of youth, when it is to maturer life we ought to advert ? Do we not educate them for a crowd and not for themselves ? for show and not for user—for time ;uul not for eternity ?—[Mrs. More. Universal love is like a glove without fin gers, which fits all hands alike, and none close ly, bnt true affection,is like a glove with, fin gers, which tits one hand only, and sits close to that one. Maloun, physician to the Queen of France, was so fond of drugging, that it was told of him, that once having a most patient patient, who diligently and punctually swallowed all tlie Ptu3s he ordered, he was so delighted in seeing all the phials and pill boxes cleaned out, that he shook him cordially by tlie hand,: exclaiming, “ My dear sir, it really atlords me pleasure to attend you, and you desem to bo ill." i BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. j The Command Night. dence of the New York Star.] The “sea- 1 i son” at flie King’s Theatre nominally commenced about a month since, but in real ity it did not open until Saturday night, when the Grisis, Rubini, Lablache, j and Tainburini appeared. It was “a com mand-night,” a term which explanation on our side of the water, i When the King, (iucen, or other incni j hers of the Royal Family wish to visit any (Theatre, an official announcement of this intention is made to the management. This serves the double purpose of giving managers an opportunity to make any needful preparations for the reception of loyalty, and of making known to the pub- 1 ricthat, on such a night, besides the or dinary spectacle on the stage, they may behold, at the usual prices of admission,; i the “illustrious” person or persons who j are to v isit the theatre for the laudable | purpose of seeing and being seen. 1 know not bow it is, but people in our I theatres are uncommonly loyal. Even when George IV, was most unpopular, j i (on account of his wife) ihe play-goers! i did not hiss him. i On one occasion, when the allied sov-j iereigns were in England, they all accoju-j pained Gemge IV (the Regent) to Drury j Earn: Theatre. The Princess of Wales,! l to vex him, entered an opposite box, about] ten minutes after the monarelis and the Prince had taken their seats with marked | applause. There was a momentary pause —a dead silence—a hush of expectation, j.while the audience were in doubt as to j the mtflincr m which tiie Regent would j treat his wife, whom lie had not seen for| many years. Annoyed, as he must have ! been, by the mal-npropos visit, he was too i 1 much a man of the world to lose his scit-j [possession. He rose and made a low j ; i>ow to the Princess, and the Allied Sov-j i ereigns immediately did the same. Tliisj act of common courtscy secured him the undivided applause of the audience, and the Princess soon quitted the theatre, hav- j ilig “taken nothing by her motion.” The j present King and (Ineeii have rarely j visited the theatre of late. The last time; they were there, the public were edified ! by seeing the Queen pour outur cup of I tea for the King, and cream and sugar to j his taste. The audience, applauded this, as ll it were a virtue, and the newspapers gravely spoke of it, as if it were an ac tion worthy of being gazetted among! “the noble achievements of women.” A 1 command night, when the bespeak is from the Monarch, is really a splendid display. All the beauty, rank and fashion of the metropolis, or at least in it. occupy the boxes, in as full dress as if they were at the Queen's .drawing-room. Their ma jesties sit in the side box next the stage, which box is pushed a little forward to exhibit the tjnge to them, and exhibit them to the audience. Plain chairs of state are placed for them, in this box, (to which a retiring room is attached) and the com pany invariably rise, as a mark of respect, when the royal visitants appear. They usually come in state, with pretty, full suite, and on their alighting at the exclu sive entrance,- reserved for them, the man ager meets them at the door with two wax candles in his hands, in silver candle sticks. This attention is invariably ac knowledged by some friendly words from the royal visitants, and “compliments having passed,” the manager walks back wards (such is the etiquette) through the lobby and up tiie stairs, until at last, the retiring room is reached, lie waits out side the door until they are ready, and then escorts them into the box. Tlie same ceremony takes place on their return j and tlie sum ot si.»oo is enclosed the next j dav for the use of the seal in the theatre, j Thy “command/’ on Saturday, was from! the Duchess ol Kent and Princess Yicto-j ria. They took their seals long before! the curtain rose, when, though the pit and '< gallery were immediately filled, there were ‘ very few people in the boxes. When the -j first act was concluded, the rush into the boxes became great. 1 UK ( Os .NTIIV MAN AMI Ills SADDLE OK \ unison. The Exeter News Letter re lates the following excellent anecdote : “A country man from the uotiiern part of I the State once called upon Gov.

The; Governor loved venison and smiled most 1 gracefully upon Jonathan as lie accepted the present and thanked him for so ac cep!able a mark of his respect.

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE LITERATURE. rpO say that this is a reading age, A desire for instruction, and the means to gratify that desire, on the first are a greed ; on the second, there is diversity both of opinion and practice. We have, newspa pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pdlnphlets of j all sizes, on nearly *ll subjects, winch have severally their classes of readers and support ers. And yet copious as are these means of intellectual supply, more are still needed. In , addition to the reviews of the day and passing ' notices of books, the people in large numbers, i in all parts of our great republic crave the pos- i session of the books themselves, and details,! beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress j of discovery in art and science. But though it tie easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratily them. Expense, dis-j tance from the emporium of literature, engross- j mg occupations which prevent personal appli cation of-even messages to libraries and book sellers, are so many causes to keep people a vvay from the feast of reason and the enjoyment of tile covered literary aliment. It is the ob ject of the publishers of the 1 ibrary to obviate , tiiese difficulties, and to enable every individ- ] ual, at a small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain for iiis own use and that of his favored friends or family, valuable works, com plete., on all the branches of useful and popular literature, and that in a form adapted to tile comfort of the reader. The charm of variety, ns far us it is compati ble with morality and good taste, will be held constantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill tli.- pages of which tlxe current literature of Great Britain, in all its various departments j of biography, history, travels, novels and poe* try, shall be freely put under contribution. — With pcrchiyicc occasional exceptions, it is in tended to give entire the work which shall be j selected for publication. When circumstances authorizeAho measure, recourse will be had to ' the literijjjsjores of Continental Europe, and translations made from French, Italian or Ger j man, as the case may be. Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint, j or at times a translation of entire volumes, the j cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character j of a magazine, un4 consist of sketches of men j and tilings, and notices of novelties in literature and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full and regular supply of the lityrary, month ly and hebdomadal journals of Gnat Britain a:|d Ireland, in addition "to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am ple materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive emrespithdcuce of the publishers are the best guarantee for the j continuance of the enterprize in which they j are about to embark, as w ell as for the abun- | dance of the materials to give it value in the j eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec tion and arrangement are concerned, readers j will it is Imped, have reason to be fully sutisti- j cd, as the editor of the Library is not a strau* | ger to them, but Ims more than once obtained j their favorable suffrages for his past literary j efforts.

P 1 111L architectural beauty of many of the -fi- PUBLIC Bl ILDI NGS of this city is pro verbial. I hev have not only been the pride of the city. Imt excite the attention of all stran gers. Believing that it woulcPbe highly accep table to our numerous patrons, scattered as they are from tlie Lakes to the Pecan, to be present ed with Sri.EN-Din Lustrations, from the hands of first rate artists—we have made ar rangements to bring out a complete series.— They will embrace a correct and well executed view of all tlie PUBLIC EDIFICES, of our city and vicinity, forming in the end a collec tion. that may well be termed the LIONS OF PHILADELPHIA, and which will be present ed to our patrons, without trenching upon tlifc usual variety of our columns. Where it may he expedient we will accompany the engrav ings with such descriptions of size and facts of history, as may be of interest. We shall begin the publication as soon as we get several engravings from the hands of the artists, who are now at work upon them. Oil the appearance of the first view we shall espe cially increase our edition of the Courier, to supply those who may wish to obtain and pre serve these views. The views will also appear regularly in the PHILADELPHIA MIRROR. [D’As a trifling expression of our regard, we shall print the whole series, at their completion, upon fine white paper, in uniform style—form ing a beautiful collection of Views, and present th in to such of our Country brethren, as may oblige us by an insertion of this notice.
