POETRY.
JROM THE NEW-IOEK AMERICAN.
TO A COQUETTE.
The flowers that touch that radiant brow
Are purer than the brow they hide,
Although it ditns the mountain’s snow
When gleaming in the sunbeams’ pride.
There treachery lurks within the smiles,
And every motion’s formed with art,
And nature never once beguiles
The love of tinsel in thy heart.
But the. light joys of coquetry,
The flattering whisper’s prized above
The accents of sincerity
And passionate vows of mutual love.
Then cease those flowers to profane
By clustering them o’er such a head,
They do not deck, hut rather stain
The artful charms whence nature’s fled.
The blushing rose will never find
An answering hue on the coquette,
And violets wither, as they wind
Amid thy borrowed locks of jet.
Throw then aside the blooming wreath,
Or soon its charm will pass away ;
Its flowers of spring nwst chill beneath
The frown of winter’s sunless day.

OLD LETTERS.
[ know of nothing more calculated
u. bring back the uenrly-faded dreams
. f youth tho almost obliterated
scenes anti passions of our boyhood
—and to recal the brightest and best
associations of those days—
When tlie young blood ran riot in the veins,
And boyhood made us snnguinf—
nothing that more easily conjures up
the alternate joys nod sorrows of Bia
uin r years—tDo fluctuating visions
i liat have Heated before the restless
imagination in limes gone hv, and
the breathing forms and inanimate ob
jects that wound themselves around
our hearts, aiul became almost ne
cessary to our existence, than the
perusal of old letters. They arc the
memorials of attachment —the re
cords of affection — the speaking
trumpets through which these whom
we esteem hail us from afar. They
seem hallowed by the brother's grasp,
ihc sister’s kiss, the father's blessing
and the mother's love. When we
look on them, the friends whom
dreary seas and distant leagues di
vide from us are again in our pre
sence. We sei thc-ir cordial look,
and hear their gladdening voices
once more. The paper has a tongue
in every character it contains —a
language in its very silentness. They
speak to the souls of men like a voice
from the grave, and arc the links of
that chain which connects with the
hearts and sympathies of the living
an ever-green remembrance of the
dead.

its nobled-minded author- the treas
ured friend of my carlie • nd hap
piest days, the sharer of n- puerile
but innocent joys. 1 think of him as
he then was—the free—the spirited
—the gay—the welcome guest in
every circle where kind feeling had
its weight, or frankness and honesty
its rccompence; and, in an instant,
comes the thought ol what he now
is; and pale and ghastly images of
death are hovering round me. I sec

Henriette had the kindest heart
and the finest eyes of any girl I ever
knew. Her voice stole o’er the mind
like a spirit of Hope. The most sim
ple word became music when she ut
tered it.
'Twas whispi 1 l -.m .’twas sunshine spoken.
And a smilu.e ’.or lingered round her
lip, us if ei airourcd of its ruby haunt.
She was, indeed a joyous hcartt d
creature, and seldom sighed—or it
she did, it was for niv sorrows and
not her own. We wandered home
ward ; 1 scarcely felt her arm within
my own, except at times when the
shadow from suite lofty tree or pass
ino- cloud ale mod her, and then she
drew nearer to my side.—Once, in
deed, her lips came so close to mine
tintt 1 could not choose but press
them. A kiss was not thought so
' great an offence in France as in En
j gland—thus she was not very angry;
| hut 1 remarked that she did not shrink
i from the shadows as before.
We reached her father’s residence,
which was situated at the extremity
!of the village, of II . and I could
not help noticing that Heuriette ap
peared paler than usual, and that her
hatpl trembled as she took a glass of
Burgundy, which I presented to her.
We had hitherto lived as brother
and sister, guilelessly and happily to
gether ; but the kiss of that night
| imd betray and ihe state of mv heart,
i Hb ■ grew not loss kind, but less fa
niiii.il towards me ; and I cannot say
that it grieved me, for in my situa
tion it was a sin to love tier. 1 was
a pour boy, and had neither father
nor mother, nor a single r. ! dive to
whom Ii uuhl ronlide it"’ l ”..y cares.
I had been left almost alone in the
world, and (he wo.ld sc'ui.t t unkind
tome' but no' no' there went some
few hearts that loved me hotter for
my misfortunes; and strove to soothe
n.y wounded spirit wdh sweet words,
and smiles, and ho, cs of liapt'wi
days.

of their parents. lie might have
weaned me from my wayward mcl
ancholly, but chose the wrong means.
A kind word from his lips was all that
; was required; bul that he never gave.
ll happened that M. do P . a
French gentleman, from whom he
had, some years before, received
many frcndly services, during a short
stay in France, arrived with his only
daughter in London, and took up his
residence at the house of Mr. C .
I was then nearly 11 years of age.
M dc P conceived an interest
for me, and offered to take me to
France. My guardian was not sorry
to he quit of me. and instantly accep
ted the offer; yet at parting (nltho’
he had never before shown any af
fection towards me) I think ho was
moved, for he stretched out his hand
to me, and my tears fell upon it, as 1
kissed it. He seemed confused—
perhaps 1 might say, abashed. He
was, doubtless, surprised why I could
grieve at leaving him; but at that
moment all his stern treatment and
unkindness were obliterated from my
mind, and I remembered only the
good that he had done me. In such
f clings the child is richer than the
man. The knowledge of the world
which we obtain in maturer years but
too frequently stilles, if it does not
entirely subdue them ; and in pro
portion as it calls to life the dormant
energies of the understanding, dead

She was of the loveliest disposition
in the world; and, by degrees, her
sweet smile taught me cheerfulness.
We played together—we learnt to

sports, and studies, and tears, were
in communion. As 1 advanced in
years I felt how dangerous her pre

two days when I took the evening
ramble to which I have alluded-
From that thne we were less togeth
er, for she read my feelings —and it
she did not love. I am sure she pitied
me. A few months afterwards the
young Count tie B >mc <in a
visit. He saw and loved Henrietta.
If any living being deserved her, it
was the Count de B , f° r he had
not only inherited the title of no
bility, but also every qualification oi
the head and heart that is calculated
to adorn it ; yet 1 thought—but this
perhaps was vanity —that she receiv -
ed his addresses mom lot her father s
sake than her own.
******
On the morning that she was to
leave the chateau to accompany
her father and the Count to Paris, 1
was confined to my room by indispo
sition. A gentle tap it the door told
me that Henriette was come to bid
me adieu—and forever. 1 trembl 'd
and the pulses of my heart seemed
to pause—she entered — the paleness
of my checks seemed to startle her
—“ J am afrn 1 you are ' i well,
Charles,' --he >-Herod sot y—and
took my hand. — • oicV v'hich
once so enlivened .n , no v almost
broke my heart. I sank baa kin my
chub, ai I covert,, mv weepit g eyes
with my ; and. “ Charlc , (she ad
ded,) I come on a mournful errand —
vve must part —perhaps forever—
and”—she burst into tears; but sud
denly, as if recollecting litres. If, turn
ed away to conceal them; ’hen, as
suming a more composed air, she
continued: “1 know and admiie
your feelings, and were I allowed so
follow my own, l—but it is a sin to
think of it now. No! ’ added she
with more firmness, “vve must part!
Forget that you ever knew Ilenri
eft'. But no! no! I tlo not ask that,
ii.udv of Ivor sometimes —but think
of her as a sister —a sister that has
always loved you, Charles. Seek
among your own countrywomen, one
.. ill make your day s, and weeks,
and years, pass as a dream of faery.
Far well! my father (she was too
kind to say her lover) awaits me.’
She pressed her lips for the last time
against my burning forehead, and
rushed out of the chamber. I sat
for a moment without the power to
speak, or even to think. My sense
of feeling, as well as happiness had
fieti with Henriette.
Struck to the Heart, and motionless with
grief,
An unobservant reckless man, l sate
And heard not—spake nut—thought not of
mj woes.
On a sudden the sound of carriage
wheels aroused me from my stupor
I was too weak to walk, but con
trived to crawl on my hands and
knees to the window, which over
look* 1 the street, uml ku; ported my
fell by clinging to the cornice work
at the side Henriette advanced to
the carriage—one foot was already
on the step—she turned, and as it
involuntarily, looked towards the
window of rr.y apartment —but, on
seeing me, harried tremblingly into
the coach—and our eyes never met
again. M. de P and the Count
de B- followed—the door was
closed—the postilion drove off—and
Henriette was lost to me forever. I
followed the carriage with my eyes,
until it became a speck on the hori
zon, and at length totally disappear
ed.
The few remaining energies which
that moment of trial had called into
play, now forsook me, and 1 sank
down in a state of utter helpless
ness and exhaustion, both es body
and mind.
Henriette,
Ea solo voluptas solamcnquc midi,
was dead to me, and 1 was again in
the world, wretched, friendless, and
alone.
The letter, which 1 received from
her on the day subsequent to her de
parture, is to me alternately a source
of pleasure and pain. In my hap
pier moments it makes me melan
ciiolly—in sorrow it is a comfort. I
have preserved it for many years,
and come w hat will, it shall go down
to the grave with me.

Opera Cloaks—an Anecdote.— About
a year ago a merchant of ibis City
imported a number of very beautiml
silk cloaks for ladies, which were
supposed to be fine articles for cov
ering their pretty bosoms, or for pul
ling round their delicate shoulders.
One morning he called his clerk Joe
to him —“ Joe, you will advertise
those cloaks to-morrow morning."
Joe pulled his pen from behind his
ear, cut a piece of the nib off, and
drew out the advertisement. It was
inserted next day, and next day, and
next day again and again. No buy
ers came, and Joe haj not lung to do
but stand behind the counter, with
short nips sticking behind his ear,
and his hands rummaging in the bot
tom of his breeches pockets trying
to catch a single sixpence which lud
itself among a handful of clear but
tons. Some time after this happened
Joe was again directed to advertise
his cloaks, and again it was done.—
The fair creatures (meaning the la
dies of course) approached—looked
at them tossed them tumbled
them, and turned up their provoking
little noses. They would not buy—
no—not they—they would as soon
take the lover’s leap out of pure
spite Well things went on in this
manner until Signor Garcia and the
Italian company set themselves and, n
among us and began una voce-mg and
poco fa-ing until every ones head
was turned. .
J e rumaged his pockets —picked
oef a couple of shillings —went up
among the gads—was in ertaey and
rapture —and next morning was di
rected to put into the newspapers
another advertisement about the
everlasting cloaks. Joe s head being
full of the opera— the divine opera,
wrote out in fair and legible charac
ters, Opera Cloaks —a bran new im
portation, kc.
Next morning Joe was standing as
usual behind the counter, behold ! a
blued eyed beauty came in—‘ have
vou any opera cl oaks, sweet sir !
Joe down with the opera cloaks, and
blue-eye fitted herself in a trice, and
paid the price without a single grudge.
Another fair lady came in “ yon
have opera cloaks said she. “To
be sure vve have” said Joe. r. way
went another opera cloak, anti J>>e
laid voilent hands on the cash. By
this time many others came in, and
it was—‘ have you any opera cloaks!
“have you any opera cloaks !’ until
the w hole importation was gone, and
Joe had secured the proceeds in ’he
till.
“That was a capital advertise
ment said Joe, and so thought his
employer. Ever since Ihe ‘ ale of
the opera cloaks by this ruse de gu
erre, Joe has made his appearance on
the second seat of the pit on the ope
ra nights, and his employer sets him
down a very acute advertisement
writer, as well as hopefull connois
seur in music.
Dancing.—" I am an old follow”
says Cowper, in one of his letters to
Hurd; “ but l had once my dancing
days as you have now, yet I could
never find that l could learn lr so
much of a woman’s real charactei by
dancing with her, as by conversing
with her at home, when I could ob
serve her behavior at Ihe table, at
the fireside, and in till trying- circum
stances of domestic life—We are
all pleased, but she is the good wo
man that wants no fiddle to sweeten
her.”— S. C. Republican.

THE
MATHEMATICAL DIARY;
/CONTAINING new researches
and improvements in Mathema
tics : with collections oi questions,
proposed and resolved by ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
ber? : conducted by 11 ADRIAN,
LL. I). F. A. P. S. F. A. A. S. kc
and professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Ryan, at tli-
Classic il and Mathematical Book
store, 322 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
work is to excite the genius and in
dustry of those’who have a taste foi
mathematical studies, by affording
them an opportunity of laying their
speculations before the public, in an
advantageous manner; and thus to
spread the knowledge of mathema
tics in a way that is both effectual
and agreeable. It is well known to
mathematicians, that nothing contri
butes more to the devclopement of
mathematical genius, than the efforts
made by the students, to discover
tiie solution of new and interesting
questions ; and accordingly we find
that many attempts have been made
to apply this fact in such a manner
as to render it most beneficial to so-
ciety.
With this view, many periodical
works, embracing mathematical in
quiries, have been published in Great
Britain: as, The Ladies’ Diary,The
Gentlemen’s Diary, The Mathema
tical Companion, Dr. Hutton’s Mis
cellanea Curiosa, Leybourn’s Mathe
matical Repository, kc.
These publications have had great
influence on the state of mathemati
cal science in that country ; and, ac
cording to the opinions of some per
sons well acquainted with the sub
ject, have advanced the knowledge
of mathematics more rapidly and ex
tensively than many other works of
greater magnitude. Indeed, there is
scarcely art, tkk.g that cur. give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, ihan an examination
of the works which we have just
mentioned. •
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1704, and has continued till the pre
sent time. Among its successive
conductors, were the eminent mathe
matician-, Simpson and Dr. Hutton ;
and in the list of its contiibutors are
enrolled the names ol many of the
best mathematicians that L gland
bus ever produced ; it is sufficient to
mention Emerson, Simpson, Lander,
Lawson, Vince, Hutton, Dalby, Ma
jor Henry Watson, Wales, and
Mudge. It contains a great num
ber of useful am. interesting prob
lems in till the branches of mathe
matics.
Leybourn’s Repository is a w’ork
of great merit, Many of its prob
lem , solutions, and researches, are
learned and ingenious. It is sup
ported by ihe labours of the first
mathematicians in England, as Bar
low, Ivory, Professor Wallace of Ed
inburgh, and many others of distin
guished abilities.
Similar works have been long in
us - among the mathematicians ol
Ireland. The Ladies’ Diary and Ihe
Belfast Alma. .. t are publications of
considerable utility in extending the
knowledge of mathematical science
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast.
Institution, a gentleman extremely
wen qualified for the work by his
talents and impartiality.
In this country,also,several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
improving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes, which, it is hoped,
will not operate on the present un
do* diking. These works, as they
sb.ee: ively appeared, were, The
Mathematical Corr, pondent, con
ducted by the late ingenious Mr.
'buwgc Baron , The Analyst, by the
P 1 ■■ of the piesent work; The
Scientific Journal, by Mr. Marrat;
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, by Mr, Nash
\mong the contributors to those
publications, were several ingenious
and learned mathematicians; as.
Gumtnere, the author of two good
elementary treatises, the one on sur
veying, the other on astronomy ; the
very ingenious and much lamented
proiessor Fisher ; and the profound
mathematician, Dr. Bowditch.
In the present work, which will be
published in quarterly numbers, con
tributors of new discoveries or im
provements in mathematics, or of
pi tew roblcms and solutions, shall
Rave their communications publish
ed with accuracy, and ascribed to
their respective authors.
A prize question will be proposed
in each number of the work, and the
choice ot the question will depend
on its elegance, curiosity, or utility,
in improving or extending science.
For the best solution, a prize will be
given of ten copies of tlie number
containing the solution -, and that
number will be designated by the
name of the person who obtains the
prize.
