LITERATURE.
FORGET ME NOT.—R. Arkermann,

Love and friendship have, for time immemorial, had
their Christmas oFria,,,,s, and the votaries of both are
highly indebted to Mr. Ackermann for the acceptable pre-
sents which he has enabled them to bring to their shrine.
He has here produced •another of those iokvns which form
the circulating, medium in which, at the approaching season
of festivity, the bonds and obligations of the hetirt are either
paid off or renewed. The engravings arc beautifully exe-
cuted, and,the original contributions are of a very superior
class. We extract the following as a specimen :

THE IS'IrAND OF ATLANTIS.
BY TUC RSV. O. CIioLIC.
Oh. thou Atlantic, dnk and deep,
Thou wilderness of waves,
Where all the tribes oft arth might sleep
In their uncrowded graves !
The sunbeams on thy bosom wake,
Vet never light thy gloom ;
The tempests boat, yet never shake
Thy dupths, thou mighty tomb !
Thou thing of mystery, stern and decor,
Thy secrets who bath told
The %%urine and his sword are there.
The merchant and his gold.
There lie their myriads in thy pall, •
Secure from steel and storm
And he, the feaster on them all,
The cankerworm.
Yet on this wave the mountain's brow
Once glowed in morning beam ;
And. like an arrow from the bow,
Out sprang the stream ;
And on its bank Ili dive grove,
And the peaclea miry,
And the damask r —the nightbird's love—
Perfumed the sky:
Where art thou, proud Atlantis, now
Where are thy bright ncd brave ?
Priest. people. warriors' liring dose ?
Look on that wave !
Crime deepened on the recreant land,
Long guilty, long forgiven;
There power upreared the bloody hand—
There ycofrd at Merlyn.
The word sent,forth—the word of woe—
The judgment-thunders pealed:
The fiery earthquake blared below ;
•
Its doom was sealctl.
Now on Ito halls of ivory
Lie giant weed and ocean slime,
Burying from man's and angel's eye
The land of came.
