'V
AN OLD CHEST OF DRAWERS.

Hail, ancient Chest I I never look at thee,
_ Ent various musings occupy my noddle ;
For thy respected form was known to me,
Before myinfant pegs had learned to toddle.
MY' daddy owned thee, and I think, the rather,
Thou once belongedst to my father's father.
Think not, old chest, that thou shalt e'er be sold,
Or chopped and changed away in foolish barter;
To part with furniture so good—so o'd,
Would make me sorry both before and after ;
Long in the family halt thou been of value.
And never h Ist thou once changed hands, nor shall you.
When but a little fellow, newly breeched,
I owned a part of thee to hold my raiment ;
Dress badly cut, and very badly s itched,
And badly purchased for a heavy payment.
Oh, when I think upon the times departed,
How glad I feel that Moses ever started.
What different garments doet thou now contain?
Thy drawers are now enriched by Messrs. Moses,
Who prove that competitioni, in vain,
In spite of what it vauntingly proposes.
All thou containest—Trowsers, Coats, etcetera,
Proves Moses' clothing infinitely betteter.

31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ense el right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
a: ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution andaworldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
romprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ma broken health, are the great hintimoces to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice dem and that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Illigated hopes or
,eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL.---" Valerie" is
the title of the new work of that popular writer Captain
Marry at, in which ho appears to have broken new
ground. As.if aware that ha had done enough in
Tales of the Sea, and had exhausted the interest for his
Peter Simples, Frank Mildmays, and the rest of his
naval heroes, he has here confined his imagination to
the land, and exerted all his well-known talent in giving
attraction to the story of a heroine. " Valerie" has
been pronounced by the best judges one of the most
pleasing of his works. It is a domestic story of our
own times, remarkable for its truth and simplicity,
assuming (like " Jane Eyre") to be the autobiography
of a young girl of good family, who goes through many
singular adventures both in England and France. The

should ever be provided with Rowland's Kai ydor,lwh.ich
will be found gratefully refreshing to the m
dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation,co allaying
all irritability and heat, and immediately affording the
pleasing sensation attendant on restored elasticity and
healthful state of the skin. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples,
and discolorations fly before the application of the
lydor, and give place to a healthy smoothness and trans-
partocy of complexion. In cases of sunburn, or stings
of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. As
a protector and restorer of the hair, Rowland's Macassar
Oil will be found alike, efficacious, guarding it from the
injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is highly
necessary, on purchasing, to see that the word " Row-
land's" precedes the name of the article on the wrapper
of each, as spurious imitations are abroad.
