I fe The Lift-Clock. TRANSLATED FROM TUK GERMAN. There U a Utile myatie cloak. No human eye has seen: That beateth on—that bcateth ou, From morning uut*l e’en ; And when the soul is rapped in sleep, And heareth not a sound, It ticks.afed ticks, theflive long day, And never runneth down. Oh, wondrous is the work of art, Which knells the passing hour. But art ne'er formed, nor mind conceived. The life-clock’s magic power, Not set in gold, nor decked with gems, By pride and wealth possessed ; But rieh or poor, «r high or low, Each bears it in his breast. When life’s deep stream,’mid beds of flowers, All still and Boftly glides, Like the wavelet's step, with a gentle beat, It warns of passing tides. When pauion nerves the warrior’s arm, For deods of hate and wrong. Thongh heeded not the fearful sound, The knell is deep and strong. When eves to eyes are gazing soft, And tender words are spoken. Then fast and wild it rattles on, As if with love ’twere broken. Such is the clock that measures life, Of fl.-sli and spirit blended; And thus’twill run within tbebreas’. Till that strange life is ended. THE DEAD PAST. Dim grows the sky and dark the air, And shadow* settle everywhere, Move where the embers streak th» wall With flames that soon in darkness fall. Tensive I sit, relapsing fast Into tbc dead and sileut Past, The Past returns—tbc dead are here; Was that a whisper in my ear I No, dear one, no 1 I did not sigh, Nor does a tear bedim mine eye ;• ’Twas the officious lights you brought, And sonv.'thing alien to my thought, But even if my tears do flow, I weep for pleasure, not for wo ; I weep because 1 love thee so! $riff splits. « VARIETY, THE SPICE OP LIFE." The most splendid efforts of genius are less the effect of inspiration than they are of profound thinking. Few things are necessary for the wants of this life, but it takes an infinite ■number to satisfy the demand of opfh- •ion. Prosperity is no just scale: adversity ’is the only true balance to weigh a friend. 'When you pay for your coat double iits value, why is it like your wife?— {Because it is very dear. -'AMatch Making Machine.*—A i fashionable mother’with four marriagable daughters. •*;I know every rack on the coast,’ cried tbcflrish pilot, when the ship then bump* .<fd, ‘and that’s one of them,' A Womans bight.—To jilt a lover The reason why a certain frog got into a milk>can, was because the con tents could not be distinguished from his native element. One of our Western villages passed an ordinance forbidding traverns to sell liquor on the Sabbath to any persons ex cept travelers. The next Sunday every nmn in town was seen going around with a valise in one hand and two sad dlebags in the other. Ingenious people, those gin and sugar imbibers. Something for Tailors.—A young lady, recently returned from a boarding school, being asked at the table if she would take some more cabbage, replied: By no means, Madam; gastronimical satiety admonishes me that I have ar rived at the uttimate of culinary degluti- nation consistent with the creed of iEsculapius.’ Gratitude.

Chcrcii Property Bill.—The Church Property bill, which has passed one branch of the New York Legisla ture, confiscates the property now held bv ecclesiastics, upon their death, to the State, and directs the State to grant it to incorporated religious societies, who ■hall have occupied the property. During their life said ecclesiastics are to be recognized by the act as holding the property in trust for the benefit of the congregation or society using the same, From Liquor to Literature.— “ In the Texas market,” says a writer from that State, “ the demand has sud denly changed from liquor to literature. Public libraries and reading-rooms are taking the place of grogshops and bril liant saloons, in this new and prosperous State.” Are we a Sober People ?—The enormous quantity of 47,000,000 gallons of whisky, rum, and brandy, and 35,000,- 000 gallons strong beer, were made in the United States during the last year; being more than three gallons apiece to every man, woman, child, and sucking baby, black and white, in the country.

T O the Citizens of the United States: I most humbly thank you for the immense pat ronage which you have bestowed upou my Pills. I take this opportunity of stating that my ancestors were all American Citizeus, and that I entertain for all that concerns America and the Americans, the most lively sympathies, so much so that I originally compounded these l’ills expressly to suit your climate, habits, constitutions, and manner of iving, intending to. establish mysell among you, which I have now done, by taking pre mises in New York. THOMAS HOLLOWAY, 38, corner Ann aud Nassau Streets, N.Y PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD AND Liver & Bilious Complaints. The Citizens of the Union suffer much from disorders of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely any are free from the influence of these des tructive maladies, hence life wears fast. The fair sex, perhaps the handsomest in the world, up to a certain period when,distros-s iug to say, many lose their teeth and good looks, while yet in the heyday of life. Such sad evils may be effectually remedied by con tinually keeping the blood pure, and the Liv er and stomach in a healthy action,when life will flow smoothly, and resemble plantain a congenial clime, where an eternal spring ap pears to reign. As it regards the preserva tion of the human frame, and the duration of , life, much may be effected, and I say fear an lessly, that health -.;nd life can be prolonged for many years beyond their ordinary limits, if Holloway’s Pills are taken to purify the blood atcording to tho rule 8 laid down for health contained in the directions which ac company each box. a case of weakness and debility, of TEN YEARS STANDING, CURED BY HOL LOWAY ,S PILLS.

Sir,—It is with the most heartfelt plea sure I have to inform yoa that I have been restored to health andstrenght by taking your Pills. For the last ten years, I ouffer ed from a derangement of the Liver and Stomach, and was reduced to snch an extre mity that I gave up my Ship, never expect ing to go to sea anymore, as I had tried eve ry Remedy that was recommended to me, but all to no purpose ; and had given myself to despair, when I was at last recommeu to take yonr Pills. After using them for three months, the result is that I am now in better hes th than I have been for eleven years past, and indeed as well as ever l was in my life, You are quite at liberty to make thie known for the benefit of others.

I N presenting this work to the public, the . publishers believe that they are supplying* a desideratum, the want of which has been long felt by the reading community, and especially,by the people at large. No other work, much less any other single volume, contains the complete and extended view of entire American history which is here pre. seated. The plan and execution of the book are entirely new; the arrangement of the , various European Provinces under their re-' spective national heads, and the subdivision of ;hese into separate Colonies and States— due chronological order bein preserved— will, it is thought, make it of peculiar value as a bookc.f reference, and greatly facilitate a clear and accurate knowledge of general history.

Mr. Smith, that you don’t like Jaycocks, why not ?” ‘ Because, be is always dealing in in nuendoes. No longer than last night, he said I was a d d thief, and what’s more, said he could prove it.’ The Court admitted that such ‘ in nuendoes’ were out of character,and gave a verdict accordingly. A young man in Boston recently wished to obtain a passage to California on board of the ship Queen of the Sea, but there was no vacant berth for him i>i the vessel, and to remove the diffi culty he married one of the young ladies, of whom several had engaged a passage to the land of gold and husbands. Of coarse there was no further reason why he should not sail in the Queen of the Seas. Impertinent Curiosity.—To look at the stitches in a ‘ ready-made’coat. To analyze an eating house pudding. To ask your tailor or shoemaker when he will send home your coat or boots. To ask a man if he belongs to the Nothings.
