MUSIC. and UTILITY!

|. A POLIO once harp possessed,
IN And we'll that harp could strike,
While music nowadays Of the best.
Can never boast its like. {.
But yet a burst of mellow notes
Will sometimes reach the ear,
Which through the air vibrating floats
Luxuriant, soft, and clear.
Voluptuous Strains, re-ecboing rife
With sympathetic glow,
OFT speak in all the walks of life,
Both to the high and low.
The music Of this simple truth.
Is soothing in "Thsse Iin,es,"
II when we wish 10 cheer the heart,
We invoke the music in rhymes.
II cheers one much, these words to read,
Who know, in sooth, tits So
"My GOODS were bough; with cash-rindeed
My Goods were bought quite low"
Such is the course we now pursue,
With object firm and steady,
To buy our Goods with cash, tits true,
And sell them for the ready.
And if the inference you would know,
And understand the wherefore:
We buy Goods cheap, and sell them SO.
And ask the ready, therefore.
And every Steamboat from below
Shall bring US something new,
For comfort, fancy, taste, or show,
Which please to call and view.
Wen sell at wholesale very cheap!
The same at retail, too.
While we receive the "Yeiloso Drops"
Or Bullion mhite or blue.
To all the Ladies', young and old,
Around US many miles,
Come give little of your gold,
And take our goods with smiles.
And gentlemen, we fain would say,
From high to low degree,
Come let US sell you goods this day,
For gold, tits currency!.!.
Our Farmers, too, will understand,
(T'hat which we hope will please,)
We'll buy Produce from off their land,
Their butter and their choose.
In selling cheap, we say to all,
We will not be outdone:
We wish to see you-plense to call
And ask you, one by one.
And If you do not like our rhymes,
Perhaps you'll like our ware;
Wen sell il all to suit the times:
Call in, we're always s'thar."

NRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
NJ the American Literary Magaziens. Tho
number for January, lo43, was the first OF the 35th
volume. Its long aid uniformly successful careers
from its comme ement with few hundred subscri-
bpIs until the present time, when il has circula-
ton Of so 900 copies per month, is perhaps as good
an evidence Of its great and constantly increasing
merit as the publisher has it in his power TO offei.
To its old subscribers, he trusts, no assurances arc
necessary Of his determination to maintain its pre-
ascendency over all the rival periodicals OF the
country. The engagement, during the past year,
of such men as Bryan Cooper, Dana, Longfeliow,
Hoffman, Mancur, and others of high reputation IN
the literary world, regular contributors, III addi-
ton a previous lst embracing many Of the first
names in The nation, s sufficient guarantee that
the work will continue TO be the principal medium
of communication between the best authors and tho
public. Among the attractions of the 35th volume,
will be TALES by Messre. Cooper, Grat,an, Willis,
Hoffman, Mancur, Herbert, "Mafy Clavers," Mrs.
Embury, Ellet, and Stephens; POEMS BY Messrs.
Bryant, Dana, Longfellow, Stree, Mrs. Seba Smith,

GRAHAM's LADY's Il GESTLEMAN's MAGAZINE
has been from its establishment, more than any Of
Their, the favofiie periodical of the gentler SEX
Though it's plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character--such as have iais-
ed BIackirocd's and some other foreign journals to
their high influence and repu,aton--its pages will
be principy devoted to wha, is usually termed light
literature. will be dis,ingur ed from other pub
locations OF similar aims by the literary and ar,s
tic merit Of its contents. While those Of other
works unk,.o,ca or anonymous, the contributors
to this are the most eminent authors of our age agd
country; the very creators-founders--of nd
t,onal literature. Especially is it celebrated as
containing the choicest productions OF the fines,
female writers of the time. Every number con-
tains gems which may be appealed to with pride

In the department Of Engravings, il is well known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in any eountry.--
The highest ambition of rival publishers seems thus
far TO have been to maintain n respectable imita-
ton of the costly and beautiful works OF
with which the successive numbers of this jour
nal have been graced. In the course of the sue
ceeding volumes many important metz features win
be introduced. Sartan and Sad, the most celebra-
ted Mezzotint Engraveis in the Union, and equals
of the best in Europe will continue TO furnish their
exquisite productions; and Rawdon, Wright &
Hatch, G. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gimhrede, Jack
man, Jones, and others, of New York, and Cheney,
Dodson, Welch & Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
Philadelphia--all among the most eminent line en-
grGreTs Of the present century, have been engaged
70 furnish ccesson of highly finished steel
cravings, superior TO any that have hitherto appear
ed in periodicals.. Among the pictures tina, will
be engraved foi the volumes in 1913, are several
Original Paintings by lnghauI, Inman, Thompson,
Cole, Frseuiaa, Franquiaet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphreys, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained, save
in very few instances, only engravings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher Of Grahaw's
Ma azne will be the first TO reform the practice,
and to make his woik strictly original in its embel
lishmen,s as well in its literary contents.
Our Portrait Gallery.
One Of the new features of the coming volumes
will be the introduction OF Portraits of the contri
butors 10 Grahain's Magazine, which, of roaise,
will include nearly all the eminent writers of tbs
day. The 35th volume will include, from the bu-.
rms of Parker, Dodson, aud others, portraits en-
graved in the highes, style of the ar Of Mr.. Coo
