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. L. 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.

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. [London Weekly Review.] £This story would have told well e- 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 zor.

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.

Feb 4 78 wlin 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.

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.
