The gay bellies of fashion may boast of excel
ling
In waltz or cotillion--at whist or uuadrile;
And seek admiration by vauntngly telling
OF drawing, and painting and musical skill;
But give me the fair one, in country or city,
Whose home and its duties are near to her
heart, I,..
Who cheerfully MARBLES some rustical ditty,
While plying the needle with exquisite art,
The brlgh! little needle--the swift little needle

A talisman. ever resistless and true
A charm that is never evaded or broken,
A witchLry certain the heart to subdue--
Ills this and his armory never was furnished
keen and unerring, or polished dart,
Let beauty direct it, SO pointed and Furnished,
And oh! it is certain of touching the heart.
Be wise, then, ye maidens, nor seek admiration,
BY desiring for conquest, and flirting with
all;
You never, what'er be your fortune or station,
Appear halfso lovely at route or at ball,
AS gaily convened at work covered table,
Each cheerfully active and playing her part,
Beguiling the task with song or fable,
And plying the needle with exquisite art.

GAMBLING in THE WBsT.--The Grafton
Ull.) Backwoodsman has an article ON the pre-
valence of gaming on board the steamers in,
the western rivers. 1t records the deaths of
several individuals in. an unaccountable man-
ner and relates case similar to that which
has lately been going the rounds, of free ne
gro who gambled away his freedom, and is now
slave. The following extract shows state
of morals almost too depraved for belief
" Numbers have come to the west, taken a
passage on board of boat and never been
heard of again. In repeated instances within
the last few years, letters have been addressed
to us from distance, with anxious inquiries
for friend, from whom no tdngs had come
since he was on the point of embarking or
board of boat. II was feared he had fallen
overheard, or died on the passage, and we
we're imrlored in the most affecting terms,
to seek intelligence Of his fate. Our earnest
inquiries, in most instances, have proved una
vailing. Could the deep and turbid waters of
our river reveal their secrets, they would tell
but too often the cause ofthe long silence Of
those absent friends. The midnight gam
bling, the fierce quarrel the dirk, the sudden
plunge of the ghastly disfgured, corpse, with
heavy weights attached, all follow in quick
succession, ard with the unerriDg certainty
that effect follows cause"
