Whose eyes like Kaslan diamonds glow,
And wilt thou love thy Fa-Fe-Fum,
Mytsweet, my lovely Ho-ang Ho?
The swans their downy plumage lave,
Where Lano's wandering waters flow;
But, can the swans Of Lano's wave
Compare with thee, my Ho-ang Ho?
Six moons have travelled through the skies,
And saftly gleamfd on Kifng-O,
Since fiTst thy beauty met my eyes,
Light Of my soul, my Ho-ang 10.

Shalinos be half so truly blest.
As Fa-Fe-Fum and Ho-ang Ho.

EQR ONLY N0,UU..

We have made arrangements with
the enterprising publisher of GRAHAM's
MAGAZINE, by which we are enabled 10
offer their Magazine and the Boston No
ton for one year, for only fire dollars!
1t is idle for us here to enter into q
detail of the superior character Of Ora
hams Magazine-it has in one year &C
CURED celebrity and extent Of circula
ton beyond that OF any periodical in the
world. For the year l842, the Maya
zine is to be increased in the number Of
its pages, and other important and val.
liable attractions are to be added to it.,
The next new works Of BULWER,
DICKENS, and JAMES, will be repub-
lished in the Boston Notion, quarto and
folio editions. Heretofore, the works Of
these great authors have been almost
entirely inaccessible TO country readers,
owing TO the difficulties in receiving them
in book form. By subscribing for the
Boston Notion, you will obtain the works
Of these master-minds at about one tenth
Of what they would otherwise cost you.
NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO THE QUARTo.
We will furnish copies Of the Quarto
Notion No. ] to all who may wish it
a few numbers only having as yet been
published-and the two volumes at the
end Of the year will contain $50 pages,
a sheet of contents and title page to each
volume.
Upon renting SIS to Mr.. Graham,
of Philadelphia, publisher Of the Maya
zine, or to the undersigned, copy Of
the Boston Notion (quar;o or folio edi
tion) and Graham's Magazine for 1912,
will be forwarded to you. The Quarto
Notion will be sent you from No. |, if
you wish it. GEO. ROBERTS,
Publisher of Boston Notion.
