THE BOOK ,
Having a larger circulation than any other
monthly periodical in America.
A COLORED PLATE OF THE LATEST FASHIONS
IN EVERY NUMBER.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
IT was with sincere pleasure that the pub
lisher mentioned last season, the arrange
ment by which THE LADY'S BOOK and
LADIES’ AMERICAN MAGAZINE, were
united, and to be edited by Mrs. Sarah J.
Hale. It is with equal pleasure that lie now
informs the patrons of the work, that he has
made an arrangement with Miss Leslie, au
thor of Pencil Sketches, Mrs. Washington
Potts, &c. &c.. who will be connected with
Mrs. Hale in lending interest to the pages of
the Lady's Book. Her powerful aid will com
mence with the January number, 1338. In
addition to the above every number of the
work next year will contain a plate of su
perbly COLORED FASHIONS.
The subscriber endeavors by extraordinary
exertions to show his gratitude for the very
many favors he has received from his kind
friends, the public. From among the many fe
male writers of America, perhaps no two La
dies could have been selected, whose varied
talents are so well calculated to adorn a work
like the Lady’s Book. When it is also men
tioned that Mrs. Sigourney, the Heinans of
America and Grenville Mellen are con
tributors to the poetical departn. nt, it will be
useless to waste argument in endeavoring to
show what is apparent that the Lady’s Book
will stand unrivalled among the periodicals of
the country.
Each number also contains two pages of
Fashionable music—in many cases original.

Mr BARNEY MAGUIRE’S HISTORY OF
THE CORONATION.
Air —“ The Groves of Blarney.”
Och! .tlie Coronation! what celebration
For emulation can with it compare?
When to Westminster the Royal Spinster,
And the Duke of Leinster, all in order did
repair!
’Twas there you’d see the New Polishmen
Making a skrimmage at half after four,
And the Lords and Ladies, and the Miss O’-
Gradys,
All standing round, before the Abbey door.
Then the Guns alarums, and the King of
Arums
All in his Garters and his Clarence shoes,
Opening the massy’ doers to the bould Ambas
sydors,
The Prince of Potboys, and great Haythcn
Jews ;
'Twould have made you crazy to see Esterhazy
All jexv’ls from jasey to his di'mond boots,
With Alderman Harmer, and that swate char
mer,
The fainale heiress, Miss Anja-ly Coutts.
Then the Queen, Heaven bless her! och' they
did dress her
In her purple garaments, and her goulden
Crown;
Like Venus or Hebe, or the Queen of Shoby,
With six young ladies houlding up her gown.
Sure ’twas grand to see her, also for to lie-ar
The big drums bating, and the trumpets
blow,
And Sir George Smart! Oh, he played a Cou
sarto,
With his four-and-twenty fiddlers all on a
n row!
Then the Lord Archbishop held a goulden dish
up,
For to resave her bounty’ and great wealth*
Saying "Plasc your Glory Queen Vict-ory!
Ye'll give the Clargy lave to dlirink your
health!”
Then liis liivcrance, retrating, discoursed the
mating, i
‘'Boys! here's your Queen, deny it if you can!
And if any bould traitour or inferior craythur
Sneezes at that, I'd like to see the man!”
Tl ten the Nobles kneeling to the Poa ’rs ap
pealing,
“'Heaven send yourMajcsty a glorious reign!”
And Sir Claudius Hunter he did confront her,
All in his scarlet gown and goulden chain.
The great Lord May’r too set in his chair too,
But mighty sarious, looking fit to cry,
For the Earl of Surry, all in his hurry
Throwing the thirtcens, hit him in tlie eye.
Then there was preaching, and good store of
specching,
With Dukes and Marquises on bended knee;
And they did splash her with the real Macas
sliur,
And the Queen said, “-Ah ! then, thank ye
all for me!” .
Then the trumpets braying, and the organ play
ing.
And sweet trombones with their silver tones,
But Lord ftolle was rolling; ’twas mighty con
soling,
To think that his Lordship did not break his
bones.
Then the cannons thunder'd, and the people
wonder'd,
Crying, “• God save Victoria, our Royal
Queen!”
Och! if myself should live to be a hundred,
Sure it's the proudest day that I'll have seen.
And now I've ended, what I pretended,
This narration splendid in sweet poe-thry,
So,yc dear bewitciier, just hand the pitcher,
Faith, it’s myself that’s getting mighty’ dhry!
The Greatest Magnifying Power
that has ever been applied with distinct
ness to the moon, does not much exceed
a thousand times; that is, make the object
iu the moon appear a thousand times larg
er and nearer than the naked eye. But
even a power of a thousand times, repres
ents the objects on the lunar surface at a
distance of two hundred and forty miles,
at which distance no living beings, al
though they were of the size of kraken,
could be perceived. Even although we
could apply a power of ten thousand limes
lunar objects would still appear at about
twenty-five miles distance: and at such a
distance, no animal, even of the size ol
an elephant or whale, could be discerned
Besides, we must remember that we have
only a bird’s eye view of objects in the
moon, and consequently, supposing any
being resembling a man to exist in tbe orb
we could only perceive the diameter o
their heads, as ail aeronaut does when hr
! surveys the crowds beneath him from ar
| elevated balloon. Nay, though it wen
I possible to construct a telescope wit!
I power of one hundred thousand times
which would cause the inoon to appear a:

MISCELL A YI.
SECRETARYSHIP TO AN M. P.—A
LIBERAL OFFER.
From Adventures of Nicholas Nicklebv. No. 5.
Nicholas took a chair, ami Mr. Gregs
bury stared at him fora considerable time,
as if to make certain, before he asked any
further questions, that there were no ob
jections to his outward appeareuce.
“You want to he my Secretary, do
you?” he said at length.
‘‘l wish to be employed in that capacity,”
replied Nicholas.
‘•Well ,” said Mr. Gregs bur} - , “now what j
can you do?”
“I suppose,” replied Nicholas, smiling,
“that I can do what usually fails to the
lot of other secretaries.”
“What's that?” inquired Mr.jGregsbury. i
“What is it?” replied Nicholas.
“Ah! what is it!” retorted the member,
looking shrewdly at him, with his head on
one side.
“A secretary’s duties are rather diffi
cult to define, perhaps,” said Nicholas,
considering; “they include, I presume,
correspondence.”
“Good!” interposed Mr. Gregsburv.
“The arrangements of papers and doc
uments—”
“Very good.”
“Occasionally, perhaps, the writing
from your dictation: and possibly,” said
Nicholas, with a half smile, “the copying
of your speech, lor some public journal,
when you have made one of more than !
usual importance.”
“Certainly!” rejoined Mr. Gregsbury,
“what else?”,
“Really,” said Nicholas, after a mo
ment’s reflection, “I am not able, at this
instant, to recapitulate any other duty of
a secretary, beyond the general one of
making himself as agreeable and useful
to his employer as he can, consistently
with his own respectability, and without
overstepping that line of duties which lie
undertakes to perform, and which the de
signation ofhis office is usually understood
to imply.”
Mr. Gregsbury looked fixedly at Nich
olas for a short time, and then, glancing
warily round the room, said in a suppress
ed voice—
“ That’s all very well Mr. , what is
your name?”
“Nickleby.”
‘ This is all very well, Mr. Nickleby,
and very proper so far as it goes, but it
doesn't go far enough. There are duties,
Mr. Nickleby, which a secretary to a
parlinientary gentleman must never lose
sight of. I should require to be crammed,
sir.”
“I beg your pardon,” interposed Nich
olas, doubtful whether he had heard aright.
“ —To be crammed, sir,” repeated Mr.
Gregsbury.
“May I beg your pardon again, if I in
quire what you mean?” said Nicholas.
“.My meaning, sir, is perfectly plain,”
replied Mr. Gregsbury with a solemn as
pect. “My secretary would have to make
himself master of the foreign policy of
the world, as it is mirrored in the news
papers; to run his eye over all accounts
of public meetings, all leading articles
and accounts of the proceedings of pub
lic bodies; and to make notes of any thing
which it appeared to him might be made
a point of, in any little speech upon the
question of some petition lying on the ta
ble or anything of that kind. Do you un
! derstand?”
“I think I do, sir,” replied Nicholas.
“Then,” said Mr. Gregsbury, “it would
be necessary for him to make himself ac
quainted from day day, with the newspa
per paragraphs on passing events; such
as—“mysterious disappearance and sup
l posed suicide of a post boy”—or any tiling
!of that sort, upon which I might found a
question to the secratary of state for the
I home department. Then lie would have
:to copy the questions, arid as much as I
remembered of the answer, (including a
compliment about my independence and
good sense) and to send the manuscript
i in a frank to the local paper, with perhaps
! half a dozen lines of leader to the effect
1 that I was always to he found in my place
! in parliament, and never shrunk from the
j discharge of my responsible and arduous
j duties, and so forth. You see?”
Nicholas bowed . . , j
“Besides which,” continued Mr. Gregs-
Imry, “I should expect him now and then .
to go through a few figures in the printed j
tables, and to pick out a few results, so i
tliat I might come out pretty well on tim-j
her duty questions, and finance questions,
and so on; and 1 should like him to get up
a few little arguments about the disastrous
effects of a return to cash payments and a
metallic currency, with a touch now and
then about of bullion, and
the Emperor of Russia, and hank notes,
and all that kind of thing, which it is
only necessary to talk fluently about, be
cause no body understands it. Do you
take me?”
“I think I understand,” said Nicholas.
“With regard to such questions as are
not political,” continued Mr. Gregsbury,,
warming, “and which one can’t be expect-
j cd to care a damn about, beyond the nat
; oral care of not allowing inferior people
to be as well off as ourselves, else where
are our privileges? I should wish iny sec
| '■clary to get together a few little flourish
j ing speeches, of a patriotic cast. For.
j instance, if any preposterous bill were
brought forward for giving poor grubbing
| devils of nuthrs a right to their own
prosperity, 1 should like to say, that I for
one, would never consent to opposing an
insurmountable bar to the diffusion of lit
erature among ‘the people,’—you under
stand? that the creatures of the pocket
being man’s, might belong to one man
or one family? but that the creation of the
brain, being God's, ought, as a matter of
course, to belong to the people at large—
and if I was pleasantly disposed, I should !
like to make a joke about posterity, and
say that those who wrote, for posterity,
should be content to be rewarded by the
approbation of posterity; it might take with
the house, and could never do me any
harm, because posterity can't be expected
to know any thing about me or my jokes
either—don’t you sec?
“I sec that, sir,” replied Ncholas.
“You must always bear in mind, in
such cases as this, where our interests are
not affected,” and Mr. Gregsbury, “to put
it very strong about the people, because
it comes out very well at the election time;
and you could be as funny as you like
about authors; because I believe the great
er part of them live in lodgings, hnd are
not voters. This is a hasty outline of the
chief things you’d have to do, except wait
ing in the lobby every night, in case I for
got any tiling, and should want fresh cram
ming; and now and then, during great de
bates, sitting in the front row of the gal
lery, and saving to the people about—“ Yes
see that gentleman with his hand to his
face, and his arm twisted round the pillar
—that’s Mr. Gregsbury— the celebrated
Mr. Gregsbury—’’with any other little
culogium that might strike you at the mo
ment. And for salary, said Mr. Gregsbu
rv, winding up with great rapidity; for he
was out of breath—“and for salary, I
don’t mind saying at once in round num
bers, to prevent any dissatisfaction—
though it's more than I’ve been accustom
ed to give—fifteen shillings a week, and
find yourself. There.”
SCENE FROM TIIE PRIVATE LIFE OF
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT MAKER.
[From Bentley’s Miscellany.]
‘Horrid murder in Westminster this
morning, observed Mr. Bolton. Every
body changed their positions. All eyes
were fixed upon tlie man of paragraphs.
‘A baker murdered his sou by boiling
him in a copper,’ said Mr. Bolton.
‘Good heavens!’ exclaimed every body
in simultaneous horror.
‘Boiled him, gentlemen!’ added Mr.
Bolton, with the most effective emphasis,
‘boiled him.’
‘And the particulars, Mr. B,’ inquired
the hair dresser, ‘the particulars?’
Mr. Bolton took a very long draught of
porter, and some two or three dozen
whiffs of tobacco, doubtless to instil into
tlie commercial capacity of the company
the superiority of a gentleman connected
with the press, and then said, ‘The man
was a baker, gentlemen. (Every one look
ed at the baker present, who stared at
Bolton.) His victim, being his son, also
was necessarily the son of a baker. The
wretched murderer had a wife whom he was
frequently in the habit, while in an intoxi*
cated state, of kicking, pummelling, fling
ing mugs at, knocking down, and half
killing while in bed, by inserting in her
mouth a considerable portion of a sheet or
blanket.’
‘The speaker took another draught, ev
ery body looked at everybody else, and ex
claimed ‘Horrid!’
4 lt appears in evidence, gentlemen,’ con
tinued Mr. Bolton.‘that on the evening of
yesterday, Sawyer tlie baker came home
in a reprehensible state of beer. Mrs. S.
connubially considerate, carried him iu
that condition up stairs into his chamber,
and consigned him to their mutual couch.
In a minute or two she lay sleeping be
side the man whom the morrow’s dawrt
beheld a murderer! (Entire silence inform
ed the reporter that his picture had attained
the awful effect he desited.) The son came
home an hour afterwards, opened the
door, and went up to bed. Scarcely,—
(gentlemen, conceive his feelings of a
larm,) scarcely had he taken off his indes
crihables when shrieks (to his experienced
ear maternal shrieks) scared the silence of
surrounding night. He put his indescrib
bles on again, and ran down stairs. He
opened the door of the parent at bedcham
ber. His father was dancing upon his moth
er. What must have been his feeling!
In the agony of the iniuute he rushed at
his male parent as he was about to plunge
a knife into tne side of his female. The
mother shrieked. The father caught jhe
son [who had wrested the knife from the
paternal grasp'J up in his arms, carried him
down stairs, shoved him into a copper of
boiling water amoung some linen, closed
the lid, and jumped upon the top of it, in
[terms $3 nr advaiokJ
, which position he was found with a fere*
cious countenance by the mother,VbQ ar
rived in the melancholy wash house just
as he had so settled himself — 'Where’s my
boy?’ shrieked the mother. *!n that cop
per boiling,’ coolly replied the
er. Struck by the awful intelligence,tbe
mother rushed from the hoime and alarmed
the neighborhood. The police ententd#
minute afterward. The father
bolted the wash house door, had bollnt
himself. They dragged the lifelese body
of the boiled baker from the cauldron,
and with a promptitude commendable in
men of their station, they immediately car
ried i£o the station house. Subsequently
the halter was apprehended while seated
on the top of a lamp post in Parliament
street, lighting his pipe.’

LiTF.tt.vnT and Scientific Mauimi.
Mrs. Emma Willard, so long and advan
tageously known as principal of the Troy
Female Seminary, was married to Dr. ,C.
C. Yates, of this city. The Albany Duly
describes the ceremony as follows:
The marriage was celebrated in the
chappcl of the institution, privately, with
the exception of relative* and personal
friends, and the pupils of the school.-
These were all present, tastefully dressed
for such an occasion, iu white, sod with
boquets of flowers. Their number was
some hundred and fifty or two hundred,
and a group of greater loveliness and
beauty has seldom been assembled on any
occasion. The spectacle was full of in
terest; and many a bright eye glistened
with tears, as they saw their beloved pre
ceptor transferred into a lady of another
name. Wc can only add our hope (bat
these sweet creatures, after being thor
oughly educated may in due season fol
low in the footsteps of their Ulustriom prt
rlccrssor! As to the happy couple them*
selves, wc give them a wish from Byron —
On roses may their footsteps move—
Their tears be always tears of love,—
Their smiles be smiles of joy.
Tilt: Tomb of Kosciusco. — Mr. Ste
phens, in giving an account ofhis visit to
the cathedral church at Cracow—"allied
in its history with the most memorable
annals of Poland; the witness of the an
cient glory of their kings and their sepul
chre”—after describing the tombs of
Wladislaus Ic Bref, Kasimer the Great,
and the Sigismunds, says:
“On the lower side of the church by
the side of Poniato\vski,the Polish Bayard,
is the tomb of one nobler in my-eyes tfpa
all the kings of Poland or of the world.*—.
It is of red marble, ornamented with the
cap and plume of the peasant of Cracow,
and bears the simple inscription ‘T Kos
ciusco.’ All over the church I had read
elaborate panegyrics upon the tenants oF
the royal sepulchres, and I was struck
with this simple inscription, and remem
bered that the white marble column reared
amid the magnificent scenery of the HfflL*
sou which 1 had often gazed at from- the
deck of a steamboat, and at whoae base I
hnd often stood, bore also in majestic sim
plicity the name of ‘Kosciusko. It wa*
late in the afternoon, and the group df
peasants, two Poles from the interior, and
a party of the citizans of Cracow, among
whom were several ladies, joined me at the
tomb. We could not speak each others
language; we were born& lived thousands
of miles apart, and we were stringers in
our thoughts and feelings, in aR our hope*
and prospects, but we had a bond*oftjhs
pathy at the grave of Kosciusko. . O&i of
the ladies spoke French, and I told them
that, iumy far distant country, the name
of their nation’s idol was hallowed; that
schoolboys had erected a monument to
his memory. They knew that be had
fought by the side of Washington, but
