MISCELLANEOUS.
Vffiß BLACK GOIDOLA.
The mock trial of the Crooked Shoemaker
hy the Dojge of Venice, only exhibited the rea
dy talent for stratagem and deliberate spirit cf
revenge often found in the lowest order of Ita
lians. The sequel displayed those national
characteristics in a higher and more fatal de
gree.
Count Annihal Fiesco, by whom that mock
trial had been instigated, was secretly suspici
ous of the high-chamberlain’s share in the ca
tastrophe, and severely piqued at the ridicule it
had called upon him. lie baffled the jest in the
most graceful way he could, hy being foremost
in laughter at his personal resemblance to the
grotesque cobbler, and by representing him at
masked balls as his favorite character. On one
of these occasions, as he returned from a mid
night entertainment in the attire of Crispin’s
disciple, a man started from an obscure corner
of St. Mark’s Square, and whispered, “ You
have been dangerously late—we have waited
for you more than an hour.”
Though the speaker wore a laza noon's loose
and squalid apparel, the Count knew the voice
and features of his enemy, the Doge’s cham
berlain. Believing this the beginning of some
intrigue, he was not unwilling to seize what
might retort the jest; and imitating the cobbler’s
voice with his usual perfection of mimicry, he
replied, “ Give me my business, avid let me fin
ish it before day-light.” “ Take this ring,
Raffacllc,” returm d’thechamberlain, ‘‘and make
- haste to the Villa Salviati—if the man you meet
under the gateway says ‘ ) es' give him the
ring, and he will trust you with a letter —if‘iVo,’
return bore to mo, and I shall have other em
ployment for you.”
It was safest lo make no answer. Annihal
took the ring, now well convinced that his ad
versary' held intimate correspondence with the
knavish shoemaker ; and satisfied by the right
of retaliation which this certainty seemed to
give him, he went courageously to the gateway
of the Villa, and said to the man who stood un
der its shadow— ‘ es or No ? —‘ No !’ was his
answer, without lifting his head ; ahd Fiesco,
disappointed bv not seeing the face of the in
triguer’s other agent, returned to St. Mark’s
Place, determining to pursue the adventure, and
trusting to his talents as a mimic to prevent his
own detection.
Martini, the Doge’s chamberlain, stood where
lie had been left, and showed a joyful gesture
when he saw the messenger return. Not a
word was exchanged, except the monosyllable
no, and Martini beckoned the supposed cobbler
to follow him. They went through various ob
scure bv-vvays to the back door of a house
from whence Martini brought a large package,
which he gave to his companion, and taking
another himself, made him a second sign to fol
low. Count Fiesco began to dislike his enter
prize, and to fear it was not connected with or
'dinary gallantry, or that it was another strata
gem to render him ridiculous. But when his
conductor stopped at the garden door of a pal
ace occupied by the French ambassador, his
ideas changed. lie knew how jealously the
Venitian republic viewed any intercourse be
tween its subjects and the agents of a foreign
power, and he therefore knew that an officer of
state in Venice would not hazard a private visit
to an ambassador without some motive more
powerful than a jest. 11 is adversary was a
young and gallant man ; and the probability so
strongly favoured his first suspicion of an in
trigue, that Fiesco once more determined to un
derstand the matter, and convert it, if he could,
into a means of retrieving his own lost credit.
The door was opened, not as he expected, by a
muffled duenna, but by the ambassador himself,
wrapped in a plain coat, with a lantern in his
hand. He looked at his visiters as if he ex
pected a third ; and shutting them within his
garden door, asked if all was concluded.
“ Your excellency’s word is sufficient,” said the
chamberlain ; “ and here is a farther pledge of
my employer’s good faith.” He took from Fi
esco’s shoulders the package they bore, and laid
his own on it. “ But where is the other depo
f sit?” inquired the Frenchman.—“ Can we not
finish the affair to-night ?—Notwithstanding
the convenient indisposition of your Doge, 1
'can defer my audience of leave no longer.”—
Not to-night, Monseigneur, unless but in
a matter of such high importance, we shall
be able to amuse the Senate with excuses
for delaying your last audience till this secret
treaty is settled.”— And,” answered the am
bassador, “ it will be, 1 hope, a preamble
and preparation for public treaties still more ex
pressive of your master’s trust. I give him, on
my own behalf, a guarantee of the friendship
which my sovereign wishes to exist between
our nations.”—“l am only authorized,” said
Martini, in an agitated voice, “to seal this com
pact —you are a French nobleman, and will not
forget its secrecy or its sacredness.” —“ Neith
er,” rejoined the envoy; “nor shall I forget
that I received it irom a noble Venitian, an
officer ot State, and a prime counsellor of the
Doge.”
Martini opened the red box he had brought
without replying. It contained jewels and
some papers which the envoy eyed with a
glance of triumph ; and closing the lid, put his
seal upon it. Fiesco saw the secret glance, and
the feelings of a political! rose within him, min
gled with those of his private enmity. Martini
was concluding a negotiation with the crafty
minister of a rival nation, and had probably
compromised the welfare of Venice for some
■ purpose connected with his own ambition.
Here, indeed, was an unexpected opening to the
revenge which Fiesco’s soul had claimed as a
right till it thirsted for it at a banquet. The
conversation he heard implied some acquies
cence on the Doge’s part, and he felt a sullen
pleasure in finding that the patron who had sn
■ crificed him for a jest was not incapable of sa
crificing his country. —While he hesitated be
tween that vindictive pleasure, and the more
generous impulse which tempted him to throw
off his disguise and arrest Martini, the envoy
cast on him a significant glance, and thecham
herlain directed him to depart, and wait his re
turn in the square of St. Mark.
This was the crisis of Fiesco’s fate. He
stopped an instant on the threshold after the gar
den gate had been closed upon him, and strove
to overhear their farther conversation. But he
only heard the envoy repeat the words he had
before addressed to Martini, and they renewed
the worst passion in the Count’s inmost heart.—
“An officer of state !—prime counsellor of the
Doge!”—these titles might have belonged to
him if the ingenious mischief of his rival had
not supplanted him. He had never been any
thing more than the favorite jester of the court,
and he ioathed the Doge even for loving what
he knew to be only his lowest talent, and for not
discovering the many nobler ones which he felt
in his possession. Thus stung by private pique
and political jealousy, and justified as he believ
ed by both, ho returned to St. Mark’s square ;
not to await Martini’s return, but to lodge an ac
cusation against him of traitorous intercourse
with the minister of France. Then throwing
his cobbler’s coat arid other apparel into the,
canal, lie made haste, muffled in an ordinary
cloak, to his own mansion. On the door in
large let'ers written with red chalk, he saw this
alarming sentence —“Let those who visit for
eigners he ware."
Had he been watched and detected by some
spies of the state inquisition, or was the whole a
farce concerted hy his enemy to annoy him?
Whatever might be the truth he had acted indis
creetly. He might bo proved to have visited
the envoy himself, and the Doge, whether lie was
Martini’s dupe or his accomplice, was sufficient
; ]y powerful to sacrifice him. But Fiesco’s spir
it was too proud and his appetite for vengeance
too keen to be checked by vague apprehension.
, Both were roused, rather than repelled, by the
i mysterious danger which threatened him ; and
boldly effacing the inscription, he entered his
• palace, prepared to await the result.
fn less than an hour Martini returned from
the French minister’s rendezvous, and found the
crooked cobbler waiting for him in the square
of St. Mark. They went together with lung
strides to the chamberlain’s palace, and had no
sooner entered his private cabin rs by a buck
door, than the cobbler spoke : “You are be
trayed. Fiesco has made a worse use of his
likeness to me,n iw, than when he cheated me
of my wife. He has dropped a letter into the
lion’s mouth, and the officials will be here in an
hour. I saw him, and by the blessing of St.
Mark, they will see something on his door too,
; unless he rubs out rm red chalk.”
1 Martini stood sfupified without listening to
; Raffaelle Gobbo’s long explanation of the acci
dent which prevented his own attendance at the
i appointed time. ‘There is no leisure for groans,
: monsignor,’ he added, with a grin, which showed
l how well mischief agreed with his nature,
; though he hated the inventor : —“ let us take the
• chance we have. Give me the deposit you
• talked of, and I will carry it through fife and
: water to the Frenchman’s—ls there be anv thing
, else in the house not safe for the knaves of office
r to find, a torch will do the business better than a
• stiletto.
“ The Doge of Venice cannot appear as a
■ witness before the .supreme council of his gov
• eminent, nor assent to their decision as a judge,
> without acknowledging biinself a party in the
• cause. Perhaps his selection of Martini to fill
> the high office of his chamberlain and public se
i cretarv, has offended some competitor of more
■ eminent birth and enterprising spirit. Such a
i competitor has probably been the writer of an
f anonymous accusation, and the discoverer of
t Martini’s supposed conspiracy with a foreigner.
! Had this discoverer known all the secrets of the
i court he has been so ready to disgrace, lie would
> have remembered the disappearance of the
■ Doge’s daughter. Ippolita’s innocent levity of
• heart led her to the verge of a marriage she se
, cretly repented. On the eve before its com
pletion, her father detected her correspondence
i with his secretary and their plan of flight to
, gether. The gondola was in waiting at the
i steps of his terrace, when the Doge seized his
• daughter, and confessed himself the father of
> her lover. She plunged in despair into the can
i al, and was saved by the desperate efforts ofher
• brother. What was their miserable father’s re
f source? His only daughter’s life was preserved,
but her reason seemed lo have forsaken her.
1 There we’re no witnesses of this dismal scene,
and he resolved to circulate a rumor of her
death, and consign her to the care of her unfor
tunate brother. The gondola was ready, her
ravings were stifled, and Martini conveyed her
to the retirement of his villa. No one doubted
her accidental death, or no one ventured to.con
tradict the tale she and her confidantes had con
i trived to deceive her father. The scarf and
veil were found among the sedges of the canal,
and the scheme she had devised to cover her
i elopement by pretended death served as a refuge,
for her misery. The physicians of the French
embassy had well known skill and integrity, and
i the Doge of Venice submitted to the grievous
i necessity of trusting to them. The ambassador
I agreed to charge himself with the sick princess,
and to seclude her safely in a noble convent, if
her afflicted spirit revived. Had that cruel spy,
who debased himself to watch Manini, under
stood the purport of his conversation, he would
have pitied the anguish of a brother obliged to
■ surrender his sister to a stranger; his sister,
made insane by the criminal reserve of an err
ing father, and the too vivid sense of her own
virtue. Had the messenger of the council en
tered his cabinet, which he defended at the risk
of his life, they would have seen that miserable
father weeping over his only daughter, striving
to recall her recollection, and entreating her tt)
accompany him to the asylum he had prepare?
for her. They would have seen him forced at
last to hide her in the gondola brought by a poor
faithful wretch, and to leave her while she clung
to him in the helplessness ofidiotism. Could he
publish her misfortune to a cruel and misjudging
world? Can he blame the noble courage of a
son and brother willing to sacrifice both his life
and honour to preserve his family’s? Shall he
see it recompensed by a shameful death, or by
tortures and imprisonment, without convincins
the council how deeply the remorse of a father
is felt, though too late, by the Doge of Venice?”
Martini clenched his hands in agony. He put
his ear to another door in the cabinet, listened
eagerly, and grew pale as ashes—“ Not yet !”
he muttered—“ not gone yet !—then there is ho
hope—but 1 can—” and he cast a glance of de
sperate meaning at his own sword, which lay on
the table. Gobbo’s prompt eye caught the in
telligence of his; and putting both his hands
firmly on Martini’s he exclaimed, “No, you
are right ; it is not yet time for you to use it. I
have a shorter and a quicker blade, and it shall
never flinch from the service of a man who hates
my enemy.” Martini answered by a ghastly
took of hesitation and dismay—“ There is no use
now for a torch or stiletto,” he said instinctively
from the deformed dwarf’s grasp—“ a gondola!
—a gondola would save us all.” —Gobbo grin
ned with the glee of a goblin, and sprang out of
the window at the same instant that the door
was burst open by the officers of the skate in
quisitors. They arrested Martini by virtue of
their secret warrant ; and seizing his sword, de
manded admittance into the interior cabinet.
His countenance had recovered its firmness from
the moment of their entrance. Turning re
solutely towards the balcony, he pointed to it,
and with an unfaltering voice, “ Gentlemen, isl
had meditated escape, the way was open, and
the leap easy but there can be no need of flight
where there is no consciousness of crime. I have
committed none, and know of no right you have
to violate my private chambers.—There is the
door—here is my poniard, and the first man who
enters shall know its temper.” He sprang sud
denly from their hold ns he spoke, and placed
his hack against the door with a gesture which
proved his determination; but one of the offici
als, more daring and crafty than his companions,
instantly threw himselfout of the window, and
calling for a ladder, prepared to climb into the
balcony of the next room. The crisis was des
perate. Martini, believing that his own flight
would force these men’s attention from their
other purpose, made an audacious leap after him,
and ran towards the canal. All the officials fol
lowed, forgetting thomysterious cabinet in their
zeal to prevent his escape ; and his plunges into
the labyrinths ofhis wooded garden again drew
them from the banks of the canal. His own es
cape, he knew, Was utterly impossible, and he
prolonged the struggle in the darkness of his
groves till the dashing of an oar informed him
that his point was gained. . Slowly and with
difficulty, he suffered himself to be overcome,
and was carried, covered with wounds, to the
state prison of the republic. His violent re
sistance had given force to the charge exhibited
against him ; and though neither papers nor any
suspicious articles could be found in his cabinet
when rigorously searched, the correspondence
he had held with a foreign minister, contrary
to the letter of the Venitian law, was too clearly
manifest. The physicians of the French envoy
had often been seen in his company, and the
most severe and artful examination could extort
no confession from him. Neither affirmative
nor denial escaped his lips, and the cruel question
warranted by national custom was applied with
out sure ss. An appeal was made to the am
bassador, requesting him to permit the physician
ofhis household to appear before the secret
council ; but his reply was a positive refusal,
grounded on his privileges, and followed by his
departure with all his suite rom the Venitian
territory. The promptness of this removal, and
the ceremonious caution of his answer, indicat
ed, or seemed to indicate, the political import
ance of the fact. No one knew, though a few
of his friends suspected, the ease of Martini’s
disappearance from court, and none except
Count Fiesco, rejoiced to observe it. Even his
gloomy rejoicing was not unmingled with fears
for bis own safety, excited by the writing on the
wall, and he remained at his villa in cautions in
activity. A summons to attend the Doge brought
the cowardice of conscious guilt to his heart;
and not daring to disobey, lest his hesitation
should convict him in a share of Martini’s down
fall, ho entered his patron’s presence. The quiet
sadness in the aspect of the good old Doge re
lieved him from fear, and even revived the sullen
pleasure of vengeance; but that, dark and brief
feeling sunk info remorse when the Doge squez
eed his hand, and wept. “ I sent for you, Fies
co, because I know your affection tor me is
strong enough to vanquish your dislike to a man
I cannot forsake. Here is a testimonial in his
favor, written and signed with my own hand,
which I require you to read for him in the pre
sence of the council. From no one but yourself
have I a right to expect such an effort of cour
age, and from no other man would it have such
force. You are his avowed opponent, there
fore you can be suspected of no prejudice in his
favor ; —you have been always high, perhaps
highest in my esteem, therefore you have noth
ing to gain by his release, except the honor of
serving justice and befriending an enemy.”
Fiesco’sspirit melted at this appeal, and he
knelt to kiss the hand which offered him the
paper. “ Promise nothing till you have read it,
Count! —Go, and return tome with your de
termination.” —He would have been unable to
form a reply, and retired eagerly to read the
contents in the next chamber. He returned into
the presence of the Doge, and threw himself at
his feet, crying—“No, my lord, it is my task
to clear Martini, since my accusation has been
the cause of this misery. I have visited the
ambassador —I can take on myself the whole
odium of the offence, without exposing the se
cret of your family. Let me prove my love for
Ippolita’s fair fame equal to Martini’s—Ah, my
lord! —in this, at least, I deserved to be your
son also.”
The Doge rested his gray hairs on Fiesco s
shoulder, and clasped his hands over his head.
The strong ague of mental agony shook his
whole body ns he answered —“Ye had the same
father—l ppolita has two brothers.” Fiesco
was silent and stiff as in death; and, after a
long pause, his distressed parent added, “But
I have not injured thee my son ; go and atone
for me and thyself.”
“ For myself!” said the Count, rousing him
self with the fire of sudden frenzy in his eyes—
“am I, who have been your other victim, so be
your advocate?—Shall a father, whose blind
pride or untimely caution educated me in igno
ranee of rny birth, call on me now to atone for
the mischief caused by his false shame? Was it
the deformity of my figure or the beauty of my
brother’s that raised him to your council, and
debased me to the station of your court buffoon?
Why was 1 tempted to love and hate without
measure, by living as a stranger among my kin
dred? Should I have been seduced bv opportuni
ty to disgrace my rival, had I known he was
my brother?—or to endanger my prince, had I
been permitted to reverence him as a father?
But I will not sacrifice my sister’s honor, and
my brother’s blood shall not rest on my head.”
Fiesco disappeared, leaving the paper among
the burning ashes on the he.t’-th, and his . ither
frozen with dismay and horror. That night
the Council of Three passed sentence of death
on Martini, for whom no advocate appeared,
and ordered his immediate execution. But the
black gondola, employed to convey the State’s
secret victims to the fatal lagoon, was seen has
tening towards the Adriatic coast, rowed by
two goblin dwarfs, and returned no more. A
stone in the cemetery of a Bolognese convent
bears the name of Ippolita, and was permitted
also to cover the remains of an unknown soldier
who fought and died in the army of the Doge of
Venice.

; S invaluable medicine, which has of hue years
JL excited so much attention in Europe, has recently
made its appearance in this country, and with no less
claim to the title of a specific lor the cure of those excru
ciating complaints, Rheumatism, Gout and, pain in the
Bones, Joints, and whether from the too free use of
mercury or other causes. So effectual has the vegeta
ble Indian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is re
commended, that the proprietor feels authorised to state,
it will effect a cure in ninety cases out of a hundred when
taken according to the printed directions accompanying
each Bottle. The Elixir is composed entirely of Veget
able ingredients, and may be taken without the least risk
of injury to the constitution. It is unnecessary to say
more in favor cf this invaluable Remedy ; too many in this
community have already been cured by it for its virtues
long to remain unknown, and it must and will become
the universal resort of the afflicted here, as it has done in
otiier places. For the further satistaction of those who
may feel disposed to doubt the efficacy ofthis medicine,
the following Certificates arc submitted.
This is to certify that the subscriber having been for
sometime afflicted with the Rheumatism very severely,
from which lie could getno relief, until being advised to
procure some of Dr. Fitch’s INDIAN VEGETABLE
ELIXIR, which he accordingly did, and from which af
ter taking a few doses was entirely relieved.

This is to certify that the subscriber had been for some
years, tormented with that most excruciating disease
chronic Rheumatism, and wasadvised m February last to
procure from Dr. Fitcii some of his Indian Vegetable
Elixir. Accordingly I procured some ofii, and to my
great surprise and still greater relief, it entirely removed
the complaint, after taking a few doses, and I have not
since had a return of it. , ..

Mr. James Boaltcright,
Dear Sir —Permit me to return you my sincere thanks
for your kind attention in delivering rny letter to Dr.
Fitch for the five bottles of his Indian Vegetable ELIX
IR. It came safe to hand, and if you are a parent, you
can conceive of my joy, when I inform you that tny son
who has for the Inst six months suffered every pain from
the Rheumatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, has been entirely cured by that Elixir, I had
mourned over him and had given him up to be a cripple
for life and all the fond expectations I had anticipated from
him appeared to be blasted forever. But now to see him
walking about free from pain, and daily gaining strength,
gives me more pleasure than I can express. Several of
tby neighbors nave experienced immediate relief. In
only one instance h.ave I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one ; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the use of it, as hb has not yet giver, it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service
to my fellow beings I freely give my gonsent that you
should make such tise of it as you think conducive to
that end. I remain ever your much obliged friend,

S Certify that my son Thomas Mitchell, jr. aged 15
years, has been troubled for Eiglit years last past
with the Rheumatism, and for the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved without great agony :
his limbs were paralyzed and drawn up and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him, without effect.
Having heard of Dr. A. Fitch’s Indian Vegetable Elix
ir, I ptocured the same for my son, on taking it, he was
much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle.
• has entirely removed the pain, his .flesh is restored and
he is now enjoying good health. I would in all cases
of Rheumatism earnestly recommend it to those win

1 TSIHE present number (for June) completes the sixth ]
T , JsL volume of the Lady’s Book.
Three years have now passed since the commence- (
'<■ ment ofthis work, avid in reviewing its course and pro- (
T gress, during that period, we have much reason to be (
3 satisfied. When we were about so establish it, many of (
3 our friends attempted to dissuade us, believing, as they (
3 did, that the experiment was certainly hazardous ; arid (
1 that in all probability the large outlays we were obliged (
3 to make would prove total losses. We did not think so. (
» To us it seemed that such a work as we projected was (
much needed, and would be liberally patronized. Acting <
r upon tins Faith, we printed, at very great expense, three
> thousand copies, when our subscription list did not, a- ]
3 mount to one hundred. We were not disappointed : ttie 1
- result shewed we were right. Before the expiration pf ]
■ our first volume, or half year, the whole edition was ex- ]
hausted, and we received numerous orders which we ]
could not furnish. Since that time we have gone on 1
steadily increasing, and at this time we can safely assert ]
that not only is our list far larger, but we are in the con- ]
3 stant receipt of more subscribers than any other similar j
3 periodical. 1
3 But while bur patronage is more extended, onr ex
-3 penses are proportionally greater than those of any other
' like publication. The cost of the Lady’s Book is en- ,
• ormous. The plates alone, including engraving, printing, ,
t plate, paper, colouring, &c. form an item in our yearly
accounts which is almost incredible. In the other me
chanical departments, tho necessary expenditures are
much greater than would be supposed by any not familiar
with the subject. We procure the best materials which
the market can supply, and we employ none but the best
workmen. All the type used in printing the Lady’s Book
3 was cast expressly for it; and the paper is of the fiqqst ;
. quality. Our expenses, moreover, are continually aug- ]
■ menting. We are always anxious to make every iinpro,. ]
i vement which suggests itself, without regard to cost pr ]
! labour. That we have done so in the past, the Book ]
i will testify ; that we shall do so in the future, is equally
certain. • ]
I The literary execution of the Lady’s Book is not in- ]
; ferior to the mechanical. Intended principally, as the 1
i name implies, for the service of the fjmale community, ]
i the matter has been prepared chiefly in reference to their ]
, instruction and amusement. Without pretending to ]
f offer subjects for serious study, we have still endeavour
i ed ,in presenting that which was agreeable, to blend with 1
i it, as far as possible, the really useful ; and in this effort 1
1 we think we have succeeded. The Lady’s, Book was, ]
r and is, meant to furnish a supply of pleasant reading, cal- ]
7 culated to relieve the, mind from severer pursuits] but ]
> reading which, while if relieves, will not also enervate.
i Os this character it has invariably been ; and we say con- ]
) fidently, that takipgin view the qhjects, the contents are ]
equal to any other periodical. The original an icles are
contributed by the ablest writers in the country ; and the <
selections are made from an endless variety of sources,
many of which are not within general reach. “Mrs.
, Washington Potts,” “The Chest of Bones,” “Sybil ]
3 Prior,” and many other Tales, originally published in the ]
f Lady’s Book, are greatly superior to the majoriiy of ]
5 those which appear in the best English periodicals. ]
> In the next volume of the Lady’s Hook, we intend ma- ]
: king some material alterations. Though our work at ]
1 present contains far more matter than is elsewhere furn- ]
3 ished for the same price, we have determined so increase 1
• its amount, and for this purpose have procured an 1
• entire new supply of type, which, being considerably
3 smaller than that now in use, will enable us to give xyhat ]
i wjll be equal to several aditional pages. We have made 1
■ arrangements, also, for a constant supply of beautifully 1
tinted paper, upon which we mean hereafter to print all 1
our wood-cuts; several of which will be furnished in 1
pach number. Early in the ensuing volume, we pro- 1
pose to publish an accurate original Memoir of Lord 1
Byron, accompanied and illustrated by engravings, a
mong which are a portrait of his Lordship in early »
youth ; his Mansion in Italy ; Newstead Abbey ; and the «
monument to his dbg Boatswain, taken from a ake ch 1
made on the spot. 1
We cannot omit the present opportunity of rendering I
our thanks to the conductors of the public press, gener- 1
ally, for their uniform good wishes and assistance, and 1
of assuring those with whom we exchange, that when- 1
ever any delay happens in the receipt of the Books for- !
warded to them, it must he attributed entirely to acci- 1
dent ;as the first mails we make up are those intended *
for the printers. f
The Lady’s Book, as usual, is furnished to subscribers *
at $3 per annum, payable in advance, and all orders
must be addressed post paid, to.
