FABLES for the FANCIFUL.—No. 111.
THE POET AND THE RUIN.
Along the Medway's beauteous brink,
A poet strolled to gaze and think ;
When lo ! an old romantic tower
Arrested him with mogic power.
The poet stood to gaze awile
Upon the antiquated pile ;
And while his raptured vision falls
Around the venerable walls,
He feels the Muses' secret power,
And thus addressed the ruined tower:—
"Hall, fabric of the bygone days,
On thy rich scene I love to gaze ;
Like some fair picture dost thou seem,
Near Afedway's undulating stream.
Those old, grey mouldering stones of thine
Inspire a fancy warm as mine
And thus I'ye owned the secret power,
Thou venerable ruined tower."
" Thanks," said the pile—for stones are able
To talk away, like bricks, in fable—
" Thanks, worthy poet ! many thanks,
For musing thus on Medway's banks ;
But really I'm surprised that you,
Who sing of Moses as you do—
Yes, I'm surprised, I must confess,
You did not touch upon my dress.
This ivy mantle, which you scan,
Acts as does Moses' dress on man.
Had you not been to Moses' Mart
For garments so extremely smart,
You'd look, from what I see of you,
Not quite so handsome as you do.
And this, applied to me, fond youth,
Is nothing but the ' naked truth.' "
The Bard had not a word to say,
But feeling guilty, sneaked away.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
nipposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em.
titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosine harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedemand that health shouldform an item
In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULITERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vole., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, It. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeely interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subtecta, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
tittle publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
by r ost is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pampitlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would Inculcate—to do unto others as he
wokte he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
