From Moore's New Irish Melodies.
Alone in crowds to soander on.
Alone in crowds to wander on,
And feel that all the charm ie gone,
Which voices dear and eyes beloved
Shed round US once where'er we roved
This, this the doom must be
OF all who've loved and lived to see
The few bright things they thought would
stay
For ever near them die away.
Though fairer forms around US throng,
Their smiles to others all belong,
And what that light which dweHs alone,
Round those the fond heart calls its own.
Where, where the sunny brow!
The long known yoice--where are they
now!
Thus ask still, nor ask in yain,-
The silence answers all too plain.
Oh, what is Fancy's magic worth,
If all her art cannot call forth
One bliss like those we felt Of old,
From lips now mute and eyes now cold 4!
No, mother spell is vain,--
As soon could she bring back again
Those eyes themselves from out the
grave,
AS wake again one bliss they gave.
A Boston Editor thus duns the whole
Alphabet:
Come. A. B, c. D. E, F, G.
And pay the printer honestly.
Both for the old year and the new
Then, sirs, happy year to you.

We want our money--don't be slow;
Pray, do not let us ask again,
Or spend our time or ink in vain.
Pc, r, s, T, U, and V,
Our cash we should be glad to see,
Ifyou our just demands will pay,
Well wish you veil on New Years day
w. X, Y, z g. all the rest.
Come forward now, and do your best;
Come, pay the printer all you owe--
He'll happy be, and wish you so.
Take notice--If you do not pay.
May you be troubled every day;
May conscience never give you peace,
Till you to be our debtors cease.
But if in answer to our call,
You promptly pay US. one and ALL
4 May you most prosperously thrive
In eighteen hundred thirty-five.

Infdncy.-What is more beautiful
than an infant 7 Look at its spolless
brow, at its soft and rudy lips, which
have never uttered an unkind word ;
and its blue laughing eye, as it lays on
the breast Of its fond mother. Look
it has stretched out its white band, and
is playfully twisting her hair around its
tiny hngers.-Aye, let Us look at an
infant II is innocence endued with
life the very counterpart of love. II
requires nothing but the pleasant look
of its mother, and her warn kiss upon
its lily cheek to make it happy. You
may talk to it of sorrow, of misery, of
death, but your words are unmeaning.
1t has never felt the chills of disap.
pointment; i. has never felt the pang
of affliction, and its guileless heart
knows nothing Of the emptiness, the
hollow professions, and cold hearted
ness Of the world. Oh ;! that the cup
might be broken ere it be lifted to its
lips.
Rochester Charity.-The citizens OF
Rochester have held a public meeting,
and resolved to circulate a subscription
paper, until they raise the sum of $1O,.
900, for the purpose of enabling the
Methodist Society to rebuild their new
and expensive church recently burnt
down.

Dunbar of that place, has addressed to

of which to save room we state in brief.
He states that the application of toast
ed onions, under the hollow Of each

hour, for three or four hours, will re.
move poisons from the system, wheth-
Ter introduced externally or internally.
He says il was found effectual on
