 JANUARY.

The morning is flashing in many beam, And nature is glad in the sunny gcam; And the mountains tho clad in winter robe drear, And the chill realms rejoice in the birth of year! My harp is all muf1ed with winters cold chain, But its chords though all chilled shall awaken again Their lay on the breeze of the morning shall float, And their soft sounds shall mngle with winters cold
 note.
 O! Nature where art thou? and where is the green Which once was the robe ofthis desolate scene-- Say, where are the charms ofthe halcyon grove, Where the thrush tred her lay the wall ofthe dove Where the brook gurglng beneath the cool sIade Where the pale willows wept OCT the green highland
 glade,
 Where the rambler ght muse in the sylvan bowers, Or tread by the lake on its margin of flowers? Those soft scenes are gone, and mantle of white Is cast where the verdure of summer bright; The cicle hangs where the foliage green Once nodded in zephyrs upon the fair scene! Those beautiful days--they named in the past And the dark king of tempests with shr wnry blast Now howls round our wals---but ere many day The drear reign of Winter will hasten away. 8

 Fleetly hath passed the year. The seasons came Duly as they are wont, ,---the gentle Spring, And the delicious Summer, and the cool, Rich Autumn with the nodding of the grain, And Winter like an old and hoary man Frosty and stitf--and are chroncled.
 We have read gladness in the new green leaf And in the frst-bown violets; We have drank Cool water of the rock, aad in the shade Sunk to the noon-tide slumber; we have eat The mellow fruitage of the bending tree, And girded to our pleasant wanderings When tho cool wind came freely from the hills; And when the tinting of the Autumn leaves Had faded from its glory, we had sat By the good fires of winter, and rejoic'G Over the fitness of the gather'd sheaf
 "GoD hath been very good!" 'Tis He whose hand Moulded the sunny hilIs and hoowed out The shelter of the valleys, and doth keep The fountains in their secret places cool; And it is He who leadeth up the sun, And ordereth the starry influences, And tempereth the keenness of the frost And therefore, in the plenty of the feast, And in the lifting of the cup, let HIM Have praises for the well-completed year.

NOTHING.

From the Latin Poem by J. PAssERAT. Tse coming year our usual g,its demands, Bot fnds us giislsss and with empy hands. whae--have we dried the grea, poetic spring, Has genius now no offerings to bring, That thus the slow revolving year comes round, And we alone without a gift are found M, through new paths, though every toll were vain I'll strive some novel present to obtain. LO as my muse in each direction turns, She meets with nothing, nor that nothing spurns; For nothing is than precious gold more dear, Than sparkling diamonds nothing is more clear. To this then turn, to this direct thy mind, And here at least novel subject fad; Seek other themes the Grecian bards among, For nothing is by Grecian bards unsung. Wherever Ceres views her'golden farms, Or father Ocean in his liquid arms
 Embraces Earth, still nothing meets the view, Without commencement, without ending too. Nothing is Iovlier than the moons pale light, Nothing than flowers more gratefei to the sight; Nothing more varied, charming prospects yields, Than verdant meadows, or than fowery fields. Nothing is just when nations rest in peace, Holy in war, secure when battles cease. Thrice happy he who is with nothing blest, No fear of thieves sdisturbs his midnight rest No tedious lawsuits serve to raise his ire, He scorns all plots, and feels no dread of fire. The ancient sage who Fates dominion taught, Admired nothing, and for nothing sought; While Socrates, when life had almost past, Found all his knowledge nothing at the last. Many led on by love of sordid peIf, Waste in vain hopes their patrimonal wealth; Melt the pure yellow ore in raging fires, And seek with ceaseless toll their vain desires, ,Tiil wearied with expense and worn with pain, They find that nothing is the prize they gain. This can be measured by mortal hands, Nor could He count it who could count the sands. Nothing to even Phobus is unknown, And no5ting higher than the stars has shone; Nothing is deadlier than the fatal steel, Nothing the bangs ofwounded love can heal, Nothing is tangible without form, And without motion through the air is borne; Ii hears tho deaf, without voice can sing, Walks without feet and flies without wing. Nothing from endless punishment can save The wretch who crosses the Tartarean wave Nothing can change the stern decress of fate, And soften Plutos unreeuting hate; Nothing can stretch beyond our founded sphere; Nothing inspires the gods themselves with fear. Nothing averts our fatal final hour, And nothiag has than love himselfm more power. To endless verse might its praise extend, But here must my lengthening subject end Lest you exclaim when Wearled with my verse, Nothing is poorer, nothing can be worse. II.

ject that has been viewed in as many differ
ent lights, and treated in as many various
modes, as the multitarious contrlyances Of
its votares might possibly justify-which
is saving great deal. We are not about
to add another descant to the lmmcasure-
able mass already accumulated OF structures
on the structure of .>igs, and treatlses on
the treatment of dyspepsia. After one &c
eral remark, we shall conGnc our anlmad-
versions to particular point. We wculd
observe then, that, in the articles OF exterior
dress, the gentlemen have, for the present
season, most decided advantage over the
ladies'. Their snug, unostentatlous, close
bodied surtouts, OF a grave hue. are quite
becoming; while the expenslycly coarse
and faring rob -roys of the prettler sex, are
deplorably deficient in beauty and in taste.
Nothing, however, is more fashionable than
these gaudy, uncouth, and shapeless cloaks
while nothing can present more ugly,
inelegant, and bedraggeld appearance.-
We are neither fastldlous nor ungallant-
this we can prove-for We protest against
this fashion, on the very ground that it
seems to have been invented to conceal de-
formties; when, to our certain Know ledge,
it has often enveloped the most beautiful
forms in nature
But We pass to the topic in view-viz:
the Bonnet. The prevailing mode with re-
gard to this portion OF female attire, is hide
Gus in the extreme. 1t eyinces neither pro-
priety, adaptation to the ''human face de-
vine," fitness to the season. convenience,
gentility of style, nor any other quality un-
der heaven that should recommend its ge-
neral adoption. 1t is hage periphery Of
silk and pasteboard, circu!nmured with ire
mendous entanglements Of red, blue and
yellow ribbons, and overtopped with for
midabe congeries of lofty feathers and UNI
brageous flowers. 1t is an article that John
son himself could have scarcely defined in
terms more concise-and which might, with
much benefit to certain weavcrs of words,
be made to occupy a description Of greater
amplitude than gubernatorlal message.
At d concert the other evening in Boyls-
ton Hall, it was our fate to be embowered
beneath half dozen u these immense
quoiffures-and there we sat, like squlr-
rel in the woods, listening to the mellihu-
Gus warblinss Of Miss GIlingham, and the
nightingale notes of Mrs. knight-wlth no
more power of beholding the sweet min
strcls, than though we had been ensconced
behind the forest OF Bondy. Perhaps the
fair wearers were not so yerv censurable ia
this instance-they were probably obliged
BY necessity to retain those enormous hedge
rows upon their charming noodles; there
being no space for them in any other direc-
