TO MY SF.GAH-
Vxnil! partner of my solitary hours,
IVhose rising fumes awake my drowsy poVrs ;
'Tis thine to scatter care, disperse the gloom,
And make the mid. igbt hours appear like noon.
For w hen thy snortlike smoke curls round my
head,
What wist I for the living or the dead 1
Scarce alone in thy unfeign'd embrace,
I soon forget the errors of ray race ;
Ilepinenotat the foll.es of the fool.
And half forget my fortune's humbler stool.
Thy fleeting race affords a moral too.
And life’s short span’s a counterpart to you.
For when I see thy lengthen’d ashes grow,
And drop obedient to the Angers throw;
J p»use to think how soon this crumbling earth.
Will fall unmourn’d, shot by the shafts of death l
How soon will years flit by, disease consume,
And leave my ashes in an humbler tomb !
How soon mid toil and pain, and age and care,
fie to the world the nothing that you are.
But happy thou! thou know’st .not toil*or pain,
The spendthrifts griping wants, or risers gain,
Thy age no want or trouble can oppress.
N*»r man’s ingratitude make thy comforts less.
Thou sooth’s thy friend without conflicting ill,

Weathering pne night Sicilia’s shore,
Deep pass’d the signal's sullen roar,
The blazing ruin met our view,
A dismal wreck—a ghastly crew.
Whose frantic hands were rais’d to Heaven,
Whose broken prayers we e madly given;
And when our deck responses sounded,
The air with shrieks was doubly wounded.
What hand can paint— wh it touugue can tell,
Mingling with night the din of hoi’!
The blasMetill wild and wilder flies,
Mountains on vales successive rise.
Dim was the watch tower’s shadows head,
The moon w ith fev’rish influence filled,
Withdrew her misty horns and fl- d,
Like a vanquish’d warrior, pale and dead;
She lay beneath her dusky shield—
And many a choaking last farewell,
Was mutter'd in the stifling wave,
Whilst slowly toll’d the distant knell,
Some sister’s spirits’ passing bell,
And swell’d a shivering horror thro'
The trembling air and ocean too;
The hallowing psalm—the funeral stave
W ere diown'd amid the billowy wave,
The fire and wave contending tore,
The vital air—The sheeted flood.
Mingled its foam with human blood,
And howl’d a dismal anthem round,
The scene of death with ruin crown'd.
To succour the despondin g crew,
We bring our shatter'd vessels to.
And venture forth to sink or save
A gallant band—the blazing wreck,
We gain—O’er her dismantled deck,
Huge watery volumes loudly roar,
And fiercely lash the fatal shore.
All heedless quit the boat save one
Who still is doom’d to wander on,
Darkly bound in fortrtn’s chain,
O’er the wild tempestuous main.
And while the mariners explore
The wreck—a giant surge breaks o'er*
The vessel sinks and 1 alone,
Am left above the watery zone.
Louder still the tempests sings,
Whizzing wild on hurtied wings!
By thenhrill *»in J’s streamiug eye,
Jn the current whirling near
A floating female form I spy—
Tight she grasps the extended oar,
In life’f struggling agony !
Clos'd within my sheltering arms,
Soon her tbbing-spirit warms ;
Soft returns the effusive red,
Faint she lilts her lovely head.
The tempest s«»w her opening eye
And fied—ruch melting harmony,
Her voice, the enchanted waves around,
JW mute to hear the heavenly sound 1

THE CASKET,
OR
Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment,
EMBELLISHED.WITH SPLENDID ENCRAVINGS.
n&tllF patronage that has already been extend-
| ed to the Casket, has not only exceeded
our most sanguine expectations, hut, if we mis
take not, is unprecedented in the annals of
monthly liteiature. This success has induced us
to give the work a more attractive form for the
present year, as well in its literary department,
as well as in its decorations and typographical
arrangements. A new font of tj’pe has beeu pro
cured, upon which it is printed ; toe size and
number of the pages are to be considerably ex
tended and they are also enlarged, and paper
superior to that formerly used, is employed in its
publication; meantime, that every department
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve
ment, arrangements having been entered into
with artists, for various decorations and orna
ments. The usual number of copper-plates will
be found, and it is proposed to furnish each num
ber with two wood engravings, instead of one, as
heretofore. The wood engravings representing
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, will be accompani
ed by well written descriptions of events and ex
hibitions connected with ihe picture—each re
flecting upon the other s interest and value.
It is our desire to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to whom periodi
cal literature generally addresses itself; and we
shall fee! called upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, while a proper
inducement will he held out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich cur
Casket.
These regulations can be effected without any
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga-
zine^ of small paragraphs that must enter into
all literary works; inasmuch as the size of the
work will be very considerably enhanced—.its
contents, thesefore, assumes a more diversified
form, and boasts an increase of solid matter.
The price of the Casket will be $3 60 per an
num, payable within three m mths after the re
ceipt of the first number—hut, if the subscription
is paid in advance, S2 60 will be received as pay
ment in full.
The arrangements which we have made for the
publication of the Casket, warrant us in assuring
its patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, any
work of the kind that has been published ; wh le
its price is scarcely half that of the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to intimate their wishes by sending us the
subscription in advance—the increasing expenses
of the paper, printing, engravings, &c. render it
absolutely necessary for us to he furnished with
the means of meeting expenditures promptly.

It may he well to state, that the Casket for
