on good paper, and contains upwards of 1500 pages of informa-
tion, immediately connected with the pursuits of domestic life.
By means of close printing and a large page, it comprehends as
much matter as is usually found in six volumes of an ordinary
size, and cannot, it is presumed, fail of being considered a most
valuable addition to the Family Library.

THE PRISONERS' ESCAPE.

TWO soldiers at their quarters, o'er their pot of
beer and bacon,

As of this feat and tlother proudly telling,—
Says one, while in France, la prisoner was taken,
And a dungeon's dismal gloom made my dwelling,
Hard we tried to escape, but so closely we were guarded,
That every attempt seem'd in vain,
Hard we rack'd every thought, but the French each scheme re_
And bound us in prison fast again. • [tarried,
Atlength my comrades heard that WARR/lei Jetty Blacking

Wa;sold in the villages below ;
And I said, we no longer will of liberty be lacking,
Fur well I know that Blacking's brilliant glow.
A bottle we procur'd, and our shoes in beauty beaming,
Suon resplendently shoneto the view;
0 little can you guess how lovely was their gleaming,
Or what radiance around them they threw.
When night set in gloom, past the sentinels on duty
We solemnly march'd, and did display
To the Frenchmen our shoes, and in their resplendent beauty,
Each sentinel his face did survey.
" Maritlicu!" they exclaimed; see the shades from the grave,
That have fallen in battle, arise"— -
And each struck with'dread, only thought himself to save,
And soon from before us swiftly Hies.
But, buzza! we got clear—and since Wants/es Jet Blacking
Was the means of our rescue—huzza!
To that Blacking let us drink till we fall of senses lacking,
And give praise to, till time pass away !
This Easy Shining and Brilliant BLACKING Prepared by
