MELANCHOLY MIsTAKEs.-A few years back,
fire took place in Whitechape; some houses,
chiefly occupied by dodgers. were involved. So
rapd were the flames that it was with the utmost
difficulty that the wretched inhabitants were rescued.
A moor woman, with large family, who had just
escaped, was kneeling, with her children round her.

found that her youngest child, an infant, was still
missing. With courage and desperation which
maternal affection alone could have prompted, she

FROM THE ALBION
CANZONET.

As peaceful as an infants sleep
The Oceans classy surface lies;
No breath disturbs the silent deep
Save the light Zephyr's gentle sigh's;---
With noiseless flight the sea-mew scars,
Or in the mild wave dips her wing:
No sound is heard along the shores
But surges softly murmuring.
This holy rest our bosoms prove,
Till reused by passions witching numbers
Thus sleep our hearts till walked by love,
AS calm and waveless are their slnmbers.
But when we feel loves magic spell,
They throb as wildly as the ocean
When the hoarse winds its bosom swell,
And heave its pillows in commotion.

From the Portland Statesman.

Mr.. Editor--The following lines are the conclu-
sion of letter from gentleman to his friend, in
which he gives an account of his engagement 10
marry young lady which he is determined not to
perform, on account of the extreme sensibity OF
her risible powers.
He describes her as having once been fair and
Beautifully but in consequence of too often oveIstran-
ing the muscles of her face by excessive laughing
she has prematurely faded. And the former "bloom-
ing tincture of her skin" has given place to the
more permanent "tinge'' of brickdust and instead
of breathing the perumes of roses, appears to be
exhaling the "fumes' OF the brandy bottle.
If the singularity of his objections should entitlc
them to place in your paper, they may serve as
warning to some Of your readers, who are so fond
OF showing the furniture OF the mouth" as ever to
be laughing and talking at the same time.
Although to be ever on the litter" is mark Of
low breeding, and indicates little more than weak
head, and strong lungs, there may be some doubk
whether this objection in the eye OF the aw would
be deemed sufficient to make void the contract.
Ye Gods, l would impore your aid,
(Whe through this life Pm wrig 'lng,)
I hat may ever shun the jade,
Whose jaws are stretched, and teeth displayed,
by her eternal gig ling.
The smile on Fanny's lip that plays.
Does grace my fair one
Although oft would speak her praise,
Her breeding she betfays;
With stamps and screams, her voice she II raise.
And so much like jackass brays,
You well might think she were one.
At all times, morning, noon and night,
There's continual sc litter !"
1t seems to be her souls delight,
And could yon once but see her plight,
You'd swear her iacings' must be tight
Or else such jols would split her.
She's always something pert TO say,
Which else has heard or
Then the smoker, then the bray,
Horae-augh whisber, ttter neigh.
But what SHE means, what she'd say,
No one can tell word Of
I'm willing with scod to wed.
Or drunkard lever quaffing)
But never will room or bed,
| With her whose lungs, and empty head,
Within six months would kill me dead,
| With her eternal laughing
