 The March number of this periodical IS on our table. It's columns are well filled with original and selected matter. It is pub lished at the very low price of Sl % per annum.
 We call the attention of Tanners to the subjoined extract:
 The publishers of this work, without de- siring to obtrudc upon its friends, deem it due to themselves, no less than to all those who feel an interest in the success of the pa per, to state that, thus far, the patronage ex- tended to it, Is wholly inadequate to its sup port-not sufficient to pay the actual eXpen- ses publication!
 The publishers have no appeals to make to any; they have entered upon contract, which they intend to, and @iH, fulfil to the letter, by the publication of the 4th volume. That done, their contract ceases, and will not cer- tainly be renewed unless very different feel ing be exhibited in behalf of the work bv those to whose interests and prosperity it is devoted,

NY mothers voice how often creeps.
Its cadence on my lonely hours!
Like heallnas sent on wings Of sleep,
Or dew upon the unconcious flowers,
might forget her melting prayer
While pleasures pulses mady flew;
But in h, still, unbroken air,
Her gentle tones come stealing by
And years Of Elm and manhood fec,
And leave me at my mothers knee.
The book Of nature, and the print
OF beauty on the whispering sea,
Gives still to me some lineamen.
OF what have been taught 10 be.
NY heart is harder, and perhaps
My nanliness has drunk up tears,
And the 'e's mildew in the lapse

But natures book is even yet

Beneath moonlight sky Of spring,
When earth was garnished like bride,
And night had on her silver wing
When bursting buds and growing grass
And waters leaping to the light,
And all that make the pulses pass
With wilder fieetness thronged the night;
When all was beauty, then was !,
With friends on whom my love is flung,
Like myrrh on wings Of Araby,
Gazed up where evenings lap is hung.
And when the beauteous spirit there,
Flung over its golden chain,
My m othr's voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping Of the rain,
And resting on some silver star,
The spirit Of a Bonded knee,
I've poured deep and fervent prayer,
That our eternity might be
To rise in heaven like stars of night
And tread living path of light.
