POETRY.
THE THREE CLASSES.
Tli* ranks of men in every state we trace—
The wealthy few, the middling, and the baee;
The rich with scornful look contemn the law,
Laugh at their feelings and deride their woe,
Their country's welfare si ldom merits thought.
(•old. is their idol, stocks, how sold, how bought j
The lowest state (severely pressed for bread
Enviei the highest, end his lottier tread)—
Little of country’s weal can know or care,
Want bis companion, misery his share;
To him tyrannic sway or equal rule
Are naught; whatever haps, he's is still anothers
tool.
But come we to that faithful golden mean,
Where wealth nor poverty our nature wean
From brilliant honor, and our country's good,
But although great the deluge, fierce the flood
That lashe- round our constitution's hold)
Be still the rock on which the champion old
Withstood the world with daring high and bold.
RUBTICUS.
MEMORY.
Come, Memory, come, let me ponder awhile,
Though the dream be too blissful to last;
For oh ! 't4a so sweet a lorn hour to beguile—
To -brighten the wreath of one's woe with a
smile,
Newly culled from the joys that are past.
Those joys they are past, but they leave no re
gret,
In the fair mould ofinnocense cast;
And though the bright sun of their glory is set,
Jn life’s dim horizon their memory yet
Bheds a beam on the days that are pest.
They are gone—they are fled like the wild flash
•flight,
Ere the thunder howls grim through the
waste;
But the traveller still on that pitiless night.
’.Mid ths tempest and storm's irresistible might,
Will remember the gleam that has past.
And 6till in life's wane, ere my care-stricken
heart
Shall return to its long home at last,
Wftl memory ever its pleasure impart,
YkS pointing, as Time's rapid moments depart,
To the joys of the days that are past.

CHOICE OF A WIFE.
t ask not beauty—'tis a gloam,
That tints the morning sky;
I ask not learning — 'tis a stream
That glides unheeded by.
I ask not wit—’tisbut a flash,
That oft blinds Reason’s eyu,
lask not gold—'tis glittering trash.
That causos man to sigh.
I ask good sense— a taste refined—
Candor with prudence blended
A feeling heart—a virtuous mind—
With charity attended—
TO DANDIES.
Ye mincing squinting, smockfaced pretty things
With corsets laced as tight as fiddle strings,
Choked as a toad, and supple as a cat,
About the waist D sharp, the pate B flat,
Ye cringing, super serviceadle slaves,
Ye lizard looking apes, with catfish gills,
Ye scoundrel’s go and pay your Tailors' bills.
Epitaph. —A gentleman on his death
bed, promised a friend of his he would
remember him in his last will if he could
write an epitaph for him consisting of
four lines only, and the word so must be
introduced six times. His friend produ
ce 1 the following lines, which were ap
proved of, and he handsomely remember
ed bun for ingenuity:
So did he live,
So did he die.
So! so! did he so*
Then so let him lie.
Owe of the country correspondents of a
liondon paper wrote to the editor, saying
that “It is with extreme regret he is com
pelled to contradict the report of a mur
der at Barnet.” What a disappointment
to both parties!
A gentleman riding out in the vicinity
of Dublin, saw some old looking build
ings for which he could not imagine a
use; a little girl was passing; “Well, my
dear,” said he, are those houses for a
school?” “O no? Sir, they are a manu
factory.”—“O, for a manufactory; and
what do they make there?”—“Nothing,
bir.”
Good Advice. —The following advice
from Madame Terein, a lady, of great
literary attainments, given to Mar
tnontel, when a young man, with respect
to authorship, should be a perpetual les
son to all writers by profession. “Se
cure yourself,” said she, “a livelihood in
dependent af literary success, and put it
into this lottery only the overplus of your
time; for wo to him who depends only on
his pen! Nothing is more casual. The
man who makes shoes is sure of his wages:
but a man who writes a book, or a trage
dy, is never sure of uny thing.” —Life of
Mormontel.
Lord Sunderland, in the reign of Queen
Anne, when ottered a pension, on being
turn (I out of place, said “That if he was
no longer jiermitted to serve his country,
he was determined not to pillage it.”
A ooil Actor, —A few days ago, a sai
lor, whose upper story had been too hea-
vy ballasted, fell smash tifrough a shop
window at Leith, breaking at least half a
dozen panes. On the following day w hen
the accident was repaired, the shopman
was showing some friends how the thing
happened, but imitatiirg alas! too well
the gyrations of the “toxified” tar, he
went souse through the same window,
with this difference, that he broke two
panes more than were fractured on the
previous day. —London paper.
Conundrum. -Mr. Parke, is his Musical
Memoir, speaking of a Sunday evening
musical party, says the amusement of the
evening was conundrums. “At length
Mr. Sheridan, in his turn, gave the fol
lowing. ‘Why is a pig looking out of a
garret window like a dish of green peas?"
This coming from Sheridan, excited great
attention, every one setting his wits to
work to discover the similitude, when
having wracked their brains to no pur
pose for some time, they at length unan
imously gave it up.—‘What!’ said Sheri
dan, ’can’t any of you tell why a pig
looking out of a garret window is like a
dish of green peas.” ‘No, no,’ being the
reply, he, enjoying the perplexity he had
thrown them into, good humoredly re
joined, ‘Faith, nor 1 neither.’”

THE LADY’S BOOK.
This publilication ha 9 reached its Sixth
number; and the Proprietors are happy to be a
ble to state, that the patronage thus far bestow
ed, has been quite commensurate u.th their ex
pectations.
The design of the work has already been ful
ly stated in the Porspectus, and may be easily
gathered from an inspection of its contents
To furnish a constant supply of useful and ele
gant Literature, selected with a view to the grat
ification and instruction of all classes, but more
particular for the Ladies, has been, and will con
tinue to be, the leading object of the Publishers;
and, from the evidences of success already ob
tained, they have no reason to doubt the entire
accomplishment of the* purpose. Every- acces
sible source from whence materials might be
gathered, has been laid under contribution, with
out regard to expense. The best journals, both
Foreign and American, arc received at the earl
iest dates; and from these, careful selection of
the best articles will continue to be made, in
such a way as will likely combine novelty, varie
ty, utility,and interest.
Original articles, tianslaticns of approved for
cgn productions, are furnished by able hands, Ai
the poetical department is enriched by contribu
tions of Authors of distinguished regulation and
merit. In a word no means are left untried to
m ike the literary character of the work equal
at least to any similar publication.
The Embellishments are ot a very superior or
der. Engravings suited to the character of the
work, executed by tho most skilful artists, are
bound with each number, accompanied by appro
priate descriptions of various subjects.
Particular care has been taken to make the de
partment of Fashions and the Toilet, inviting A
attractive, to which end the ruling style is >. -
plained and illtustrated by copperplate engrav
ings.
Os the mechanical execution, of the work, the
Publisers do not hesitate to speak in terms of
strong commendation. For neatness, accuracy,
and beauty, they believe the Lvov’s Boos will
not suffer in comparison with any work in this
country.

RECOMMENDATORY NOTICES.
The Lady’s Book. —We have receiv
ed the August number ofthis new and attractive
periodical; arid if we ere to judge from the num
ber before us, it seems justly to challenge the
patronage of those who enjoy light raiding of
the more refined description. Many of the nar
ratives are of a most romantic and interesting
character, and cannot fail to fix the attention of
the fail reader, who may follow the heroine in
the “trials of the heart,” or pursue tho devoted
lover through the proofs of his love and heroism,
without becoming languid over the long protrac
tive catastrophe, or the successive appearance
and removal of scruples, delicacies, and difficul
ties. The interest ofthis periodical is much in
creased by dissertations of the female art of
horsemanship, needle work, and dancing, and on
these subjects the young lady may derive many
useful hints to advance her towards gracefulness
and proficiency.
As an additional attraction to this periodical
Mrs. Hemans will probably become a regular
contributor to its poetical department. The
August number contains the first appearance of
a very pathetic poem from her pen, in which the
bold scenery of Son th America and Cordilleras
aro combined in description with the feelings of
an European traveller, on vicwiug that singular
constellation, known as the “Cross of the South”
peculiar only to the southern hemisphere. This
poem combines in a short compass, a full display
of that pathos and touching delicacy of expres
sion, for which this highly gifted poetess has
been so justly distinguished. Another original
poetic article “The Military Tuneral,” is very
superior in style and poetic merit to the common
race of fugitive productions. With the aid of,
such talent, the poetic department of the La
dy’s Book, with the continuance of the taste dis
played in its selected poetry, may confidently
compete for the prize of public favour, with any
of its cotemporaries
The price of this periodical as will bo seen on
reforence to its prospectus, is three dollars year
ly, or at the rate of twenty-five cents each num
ber. For this small sum tho subscriber is remu
nerated with a quantum of reading matter ex
ceeding that to be found in any volume of the
novels of the day—usually selling at one dollar
per volume.— lntelligencer, Flcmingsburg, Ky
We have received the fourth number of the
Lady's Book. The votary of fashion and litera
ture —the epicurian and the Musician, will each

respecting it have been fully realized.— The Set
