[From the Knickerbocker Magazine.] LADIES’ STOCKINGS, A clothes line in yonder garden Goes wandering among the trees, And on it two very long stockings Are kicking the evening breeze; And a lot of fancy dry goods, Whose nature I cannot define, Are wildly and merrily flapping About that same old line. And a very fine young lady, At the parlor window sews ; And I rather conclude ifyou tried it, You’d find that she’d fit into them hose: Sho’s only a half length picturo, Foreshortened below the breast, But the dry goods which dance on the tight ropo Out yonder, just make up the rest. So dreamlike, she seems so gentle, You think her too good lor earth ; And I feel that a holier spirit Is banishing vulgar mirth To Us worldly home—by Jingo! What a flourish that muslin throws, And how uncommonly taper These stockings go off at the toes. O eyes! like the sky when it’s bluest! O hair! like the night without a star! 0 muslin and hose! I can’t help it! Ye still draw my thoughts over “lhar !” The lady alone is substantial, The clothes but a fancy ideal, Yet somehow or other—confound it— I’ve mixed up the sham and tho real. O Love! you’re the same old sixpence With the poet, the muff'or the brick ; You go up with a rush like a rocket, But come down at last like a stick, And let love thoughts be lofty or lowly, Platonic, or flash, I opine, That they all like new dry goods and stockings, Belong to the very same line ! , l’envoy. Be sure that no better a garden Was ever yet wanting in hose; And Meister Karl thinks that a ballad Looks well when it ends with a close! M lister Karl. COMMERCIAL.

D u^*^ Beß l _, of t,le Liver.—When the celebrated Dr. Hush declared drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth which the experience and observation of medical men is eve ry day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of those who Indulge in the use oi spirituous liquors, ma be hus aceounted for. The true cause of conduct, which is taken for mlatuation, isveiy frequently a diseased state of the Liver. n-PJ^P. 11 °f , the system, when deranged, produces a more irightful catalogue of diseases. And if, Instead of applying remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to oiten the case, physicians would prescribe with a view to the original cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of the diseases enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat in a diseased Liver. (See Dr. Gunn’s great works.) .P”[chasers will please be careful to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLB, and take none else.
