THE LOVER TO IDS MISTRESS ON HER
BIRTH DAY.
If any white winged Power above
My joys and griefs survey,
The day when thou wertborn, my love—
He surely blessed that day.
2 laughed (till taught by thee) when told
Of beauty’s magic powers,
That ripened life’s dull ore to gold,
*nd changed its weeds to flpwers.
My mind had lovely shapes portrayed;
But thought I eaith had one
Could make e’en Fancy’s visions fade
Like stars before the sun ?
I gazed and felt upon my lip#
Th’ unfinished accents hang;
One moment’s bliss, one tinrning kiss,
To rapture changed each pang.
But though as swift as lightning’s flash
Those tranced moments flew,
Not all the waves of time shall wash
Their memory from my view.
But duly shall my raptured song,
And gladly shall my eyes,
Still bless this day’s return, as long
As thou shah see it rise.

THE LOST STAR.
BYL. E. L.
A light is gone from yonder sky,
A star has left its sphere;
The Beautiful—and do they die
In yon bright world as here;
fftll that star leave a lonely place,
A darkness on the night ?
Ho ! few will miss its lovely face,
And none think heaven less bright!
What wert thou star of? vanished one!
What mystery was thine?
Thv beauty from the east is gone—
What wast thy sway and sign ?
Wert thou the star of opening youth ?
And i3 it then for thee.
Its frank glad thoughts, its stainless truth,
So early cease 10 be ?
Of hope? and was it to expiess
How soon hope sinks in shade;
Or else of human loveliness,
In sign how it will fade !
How was thy dyinglike the song,
In music to the last.
An echo flung the wi"ds among,
And then forever past ?
Or didsttheu sink as stars whose light
The fdrmoon renders vain?
The rest shine forth the next dark uight,
Thou didst not shine again.
Didst thou fade gradual from the time,
The first great curse was hurl’d,
Till lost in sorrow and in crime,
Star of our early world ?
Forgotten and departed star !
A thousand glories shine,
Round the blue midnight’s regal cor,
Who then remembers thine ?
Save then some mournful bard like me,
Dreams over beauty gone,
And in the fate that waited thee.
Reads what will be his own.

TWO LAWYERS.
An opulent farmer applied about a law
suit to an attorney, who told him that lie
could not undertake it, being already en
gaged on the other side ; at the.same time
he said, he would give him a letter of re
commendation to a nrofessional friend,
which lie did. The farmer out of curios
ity, opened it, and read as follows
Here aretwo fat tvethc-rs fallen out together,
If you’ll fleece one I’ll fleece the other, ,
And make them ng ee like brother and brother.
The farmer carried this epistle to the
person with \vhotn*h.e was at variance.—
Its perusal cured both parties, and ter
minated the dispute.
TWO PHYSICIANS.
A gentleman calling on a friend, found
two physicians with him, he wrote the
following lines on the back of his card ;~
•< Bv one physician might your work be done,
But two are like a double’d barrel gun ;
From one discharge sometimes a bird has flown,
A second barrel always brings it down.”
New Species of Brilliants.—At a ball
in Calcutta, a lady, remaikable for the
splendour of her dress and ornaments, at
tracted the eyes of all the company, on
entering the ball room. Rows of brilliants
which threw around her a light like that of
the fabulous carbuncles of the Arabian
Nights, glittered down her dress, and e-
clipsed all the jewels in the room. When
the other ladies, desirous of examining
her sumptuous ornaments, drew near, and
began to pry into the mystery, it was . dis
covered that the ingenious fair one bad
imprisoned some hundreds of fire flies in
little bags of muslin, the ventus teziles of
Petrouius; and that proud to adorn so
much beauty, they fluttered as she moved,
and gave her the appearsnee of being
decked out wirh jewels of living fire.

ANECDOTE.
I wr.3 one among the corps of Cadets
w ho spent the last Academic vacation in
a visit to Washington City. Soon after
we left New York in the steamboat, there
was a whisper in circulation, that John
Randolph had returned from Europe, and
was our fellow passenger. We were told
told that he was in the cabin below ; but
not many credited the account sufficient
ly to think of going down in order to be
satisfied : for we regarded it as the inven
tion of some willing, who had started the
story with a design to make sport of those
wiio might be credulous enough to believe
it. Besides, it was only a few hours since
some of us had read, in the New York
papers, the cutting reply which he made
in a French theatre. On the assurance
of one of the passengers, however, who
resided r not far from Roanoke, I went
down in order to see so extraordinary a
character—a man whom I believed to
have been censured and ridiculed, rather
on account of his want of affectation, or as
sumed dignity, than for any other reason
unless, perhaps, the ignorance and mean
ness of his caluminators.
It is said that he boasts the blood of
Pocahontas; his figure and complexion
no less than his peculiar acumen of intel
lect, and singular independency of habits
are characteristic marks of the noble In
dian’s nature.
He ts tall, strait and very slender ; his
feature^are effeminate in shape ; but his
eye is all expression—ever varying, accor
ding to the sentiments which successively
occupy his mind.
There was a poor woman on board,
presenting to the passengers a paper
which certified that she was in distress,
and worthy of charity. She addressed
herself to Mr. Randolph ; he read the
writing, and i eturned it, together with a
bank bill, without speaking, or looking at
her. They oddit of this action might have
caused a laugh, had it not been done with
an air of seriousness that commanded re
spect. Many thought it mere eccentrici
ty ; but I had seen him, a moment before
c!< sely scanning that woman’s counte
nance.
One of our passengers was an uncouth,
boisterous Yankee, who went about,
swearing that “ it was all a hoax—John
Randolph could not be on board, because
he was in France only tother day—he’d
b.'t a five dollar bill on’t “ I will bet a
small sun> that he is on boardsaid a
gentleman to him ; I will wager one dol
lar, Sir, on condition that, if you lose, you
pay the money to that poor woman ; and
if I lose, I will pay it to you” “ Done.”
Then several gentlemen were called, who
said they were acquainted with Mr. Ran
dolph, and knew that he was then below
in the cabin. But the fellow would not
admit any testimony ; for, he said, “ ever
so many told him the same before I bet—
I must see the man, and hear him own
himself to be John Randolph of Roan
oke, before I’ll pay,” “ Well, you may
go and satisfy yourself the best way you
can said his opponent, “ for I shall not
introduce you to him.” Away posted
Jonathan to the cabin, and seated himself
beside the person pointed cut: “ I hear
you are just come -from Europe, Sir.”
Mr. Randolph made no reply. “ Tliere’s
a good deal of disturbance in England
about the Corn Laws ; is there not 1”—
“ That is nothing new,” said the senator
darting round a quailing glance that made
the fellow shrink, and begin to feel fur his
money purse.—He was perfectly satisfied
that the gentleman whom he had spoken
to was the identical John Randolph of
Roanoake; for he knew that no other
man living could have looked so like a ra

things which are desolate and wild, things
which are but fragments itt themselves or
of some mightier fragment ! Why has
unseemly decay acharm far surpassing
youthful strength ; why has that rank
weed an attraction superior to the sweet-
scented garden flower! Why is Britain
in her full grown strength, and America
in her youthful vigour, less interesting
than Rome in her weakness, and Assyria
in her desolation! It is the spell of soul
that hangs over them—it is their conexion
with mind, that gives them such mastery
over our feelings. It is the long lines of
lofty names, of bards, sages, and heroes, it
is tha song of genius, and the volume of
wisdom, and the spear of valour. What
is Carthage without the recollection of her
former queen and her gallant Hannibal—
what is the rock of Salamis unassociated
with tha name of Themistocles, the steep
of Leucas without the despairing Sappho,
and the Hellespont without the bridge of
Xerxes, and the shriek of the drowning
Leander! What were Castalia without
the harp of Apollo and the dance of the
Muses, and Olympus without the thun
ders of “cloud compelling” Jove ? It is
the recollection of being, whether real or
fictitious, which gives them all their inter
est. The great and the powerful of old
still linger there.
“Their spirits wrap the dusky mountain,
“ Their spirits hover o’er the fountain;
“ The meanest rill, the mightiest river,
“ Rolls mingling with their fame forever.”

Robert Burns.—It has been observed
by Sir Waiter Scoit, that Burns had none
of that chivalous sense of honor which
places reason on the sword’s point. H
was, moreover, somewhat heretical in his
opinions about the French Revolution.—
Bui Burns was, nevertheless, a brave man
and a good citizen. When the threaten
ed invasion of the French Republicans
menaced our shores, he enrolled himself
a member of a corps of volunteers, estab
lished at Dumfries, and was during the
short remainder of his life, distinguished
for bis zeal in the cause of rational liberty.
Previous to one ol the public meetings of
his regiment, it was hinted to the poet
that something in the shape of a song or
speech would be expected from him—
some effusion on the glory of the Britain
;,nd the patriotic ardour of old Scotland.
Burns said nothing, and as silence is con
sent, it was generally expected that the
poet’s lyre would be strung for the occa
sion. The day at length arrived, and the
room was crowded with the civic soldiers
and their loyal townsmen, After the
cloth was withdrawn, and the customary
toasts pledged in bumpers, the poet was
called upon. He stood up, the company
rising simultaneously with him, and slow
ly lifting his glass, lie said with an arch in
describable smile, “ Gentlemen, may we
never see the French, or the French
see us/” It is impossible to describe
the disappointment which was paint
ed on the countenance ot the expec
tant volunteers. They drupt down
to their seats, to use the words of
our informant like so many old wives
at a field preaching, though they after
wards confessed, that there was as much
good sense and right feeling in the poet’s
toast, as could be found in the most splen
did of his poems.

loves to linger above and around the rums

Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment
EMBELLISHED WITH SPLENDID ENGRAVINGS.
T HF patronage that has already been extend.
cd to the Casket, has not only exceeded
our most sanguine expectations, but, if we mis.
take not, is unprecedented in the annals of
monthly liteiature. This success has induced a,
to give the work a more attractive form for t!.
■present year, as well in its literary deparUneat"
as well as in its decorations and typographical
arrangements. A new font of type has been p ro ,
cured, upon which it is printed; tne size and
number of the pages are to be considerably tJ .
traded and they are also enlarged, and pap^
superior to that formerly used, is employed i n ; t .
publication ; meantime, that every departme-t
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve,
ment, arrangements having been entered i n t c
with artists, for various decorations and orna,
meats. The usual number of copper-plates wia
be found, and it is proposed to furnish each nu®
ber with two wood engravings, instead of one J
heretofore. The wood engravings n-presentinr
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, will be accompat,,
ed by well written descriptions of events and ex
hibitions connected with the picture-each «.
fleeting upon the other's interest and value,
it is our desire to render the Casket interests*
to the yarious classes of readers to whom periodf.
cal literature generally addresses itself; and
shall feel caiie'4 upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, while a proper
inducement will be helu out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich cor
Casket.
These regulations can be effected without any
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga.
zine of small paragraphs that mtist 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 tne Casket will he $3 50 per at.
num, payable within three m-mths after the re
ceipt of the first number—but, if the subscription
is paid in advance, $2 50 will be received as pay.
ment in full.
The arrangements which we havp made for the
publication of the Casket, warrant us in as urinj
it- patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, any.
work of the kind that has been published; whit
its price is scarcely half that of the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to intimate theit wishes by sending us the
subscription in advance—the increasing exi-ensei
of the paper, printing, engravings, kc. render it
absolutely necessary tor us to be furnished with
the means of meeting expenditures promptly.
