 FIN the course of our long connexion with A the public press, 1t has frequently been suggested to Us that there would be a pro- priely in our offering to act as agents for those of our country brethren, who might fe eel disposed to take advantage of the offer, for the purpose of giving more extended circulation b their popular newspapers in this city. This matter has been brought more strongly to our minds by the frequent and recent applications we have received for different newspapers and works pub lished in the interior of this and other states, which we cannot readily lay our hands on, 10 ascertain the terms and means by which they can be obtained
 We are induced to offer our services as general agents to the proprietors of lite rary newspapers abroad, not with a view to pecuniary advantage for ourselves, but more particularly from spirit of recipro- city for the kindness which has been shown us through their means, and to secure that 1 favorable understanding which now sub sists betwe eena large portion of our coun- try brethren and ourselves.
 l We propose to open register of every periodical published in this country, in which, when requested so to do personally ] or by written application, post paid--we 1 shall likewise insert the proprietors' or publishers names and residence, the terms and periods of publication, with a concise l description the character and contents ] of the work and receive subscriptions 1 and transact all business connected there with, without charge. In addition, we shall place, in conspicuous part of our | office, in the order in wbieh they are re- ceived. plaeard containing the title and terms of each publication, that they may be nstantly brought before the ohserva- tion of the numerous individuals who ire quent our establishment In return we solicit on the part of those for whom we act, the insertion of an advertisement in their columns of the LADy's Book, and an occasional notice of the contents of the same. The customary allowance will be made to all agents who receive subserip- tions and punctually transmit, the funds which may be collected by them for our use
 If this plan meets your views, we shall be pleased to place your publication on our l Register, in the manner above specified 1 and commence the task Of agent for you in Philadelphia. You may announce u: as such, and we will commence immediate 1 ly, with the hope that our exertions in each others behalf will be attended witt mutual benefits.
 Yours respectfully.

Tue Temple of Belus.-ln the centre of the temple of Belus, in the ancient city ot Baby!on, stood the magnificent tower ot Babel, which was 500 feet square at the base. It was constructed to resemble eight massive towers, piled one above the other, each one being twenty-five feet high. On the outside was winding stair-case reach inc to the top. Within the different stories were lofty S beautifully finished apartments, studded with columns, and rich in agncul- tural designs. These were probably chap els, in which public worship was offered to Baal. On the very summit Of the eighth tower. was an astronomical observatory. A golden image, forty feet high, was kept in one of the splendid halls, whose value was equal to $l5,5oo,ooo. The entire value of the gold, silver, jewels and other royal property kept in this sacred ediiee, has been computed to have been equal to $ls6, ,oo0,o00. Each Brick of the tower, as well as of the walls of the city, bore a character. Several of these are now in Boston, brought from the supposed site of the tower. Pariey's .Mag.

THE PARTING OF SUMMER.

THE FAfGIANO Or,
 BY MRS. HEMANs.I Thou'rt bearing hence thy roses, Glad summer. fare thee well! Thou'rt singing thy last melodies In every wood aud dell. But ere the golden sunset
 Ofthy latest lingering day, Oh tell me, Der this chequered eartn, How hast thou passed away! Brightly, sweet Summer! brightly Thine hours have floated by, T To the oyo;is birds of the woodland houghs The rangers of the sky. hnd brightly in the sorestss
 To the wild deer wand ering free; And brightly, midst the garden flowers Is the happy murmuring bees But how to human bosoms,
 With all their hopes and fears, And thoughts thatmake them eagle-Wings To pierce the unborn years Sweet Summer! to the captive Thou hast flown in burning dreams Of the woods, with all their whispering
 leaves,
 And the blue rejoicing streams;- To the wasted and the weary, On the bed of sickness bound, In swift delirious fantasies,
 That changed with every sound; To the sailor on the pillows, Tn Iongings wild and vain, For the gushing founts. and breezy hllls, And the homes of earth again. And unto me, glad Summer! How hast thou flown to me .My chainless footstep naught hath kept From thy haunts of song and glee. Thou hast flown in wayward' visions, In memories of the dead In shadows from troubled heart, Ger thy sunny pathway shed In brief snd sudden strivings, To fling weight aside Midst these thy melodies have ceased, And all thy roses died. Bat oh! thou gentle Summer! If greet thy flowers once more, Bring me again the buoyancy Wherewith my soul should soar! Give me to hail thy sunshine, With song and spirit free; Or in purer air than this
 Mar that next meeting be.

Great works have been accomplished in Canada, and others are about to be com menced, in the improvement of the nayi- gation of the St. Lawrence. It IS within the range of the possibilities that some great city, to be located on Lake Superior may be visited by vessels direct from Llv- erpool-though not of that peculiar con st..ct;onn with which English men ex- pected to ascend the cataract of Niagara, at the beginning of the late war That cataract, however, is no longer an lmpassa- be barrier between the upper and lower lakes. A canal has been made round the falls and the ascent or descent between Ontario and Erie is easy.--Nites.

 In a learned notice of "Measures, Weights. and Money" by Col. Paisley, Royal Engineer, F. R. s. &c; just pulp lished in London, the author pays the fol- lowing tribute to our distinguished fellow citizen, JOIN c. ADAMS
 ssI cannot, however, pass over the labors of former writers, without acknowledging in particular, the benefit which have de- rived, whilst investigating the historlal part of my subject, from book printed at Washington in 1921, as an official Report upon Weights and Measures, made by a distinguished American statesman, Mir. John Quincy Adams, to the Senate of the United States, of which he was afterwards President. This author has thrown more light into the history of cur Old English Weights and Measures than all the former writers upon the same subject and his view of historical facts, even when occa- sionally in opposition to the Reports oi our own Parliamentary Committees, appear to me to be the most correct. For my own part,sI confess that do moi think thai could have seen my way into the history of English Weights and Measures, in the feudal ages, without his guidance"
