THE MAIDEN's ADVERTISEMENT.
At EIGHT ZEN,

A heart to let
A warm, fresh, cherry, virgin heart,
Uutenanted by man as yet
New and unsoifd in any part;
Who bids the prize 10 get'
To him who'll pay the easy rent,
Daily and hourly due wife,
OF honest love, am content
To give lease for life.
1t has large chambers, warm and bright,
Well furnished with affections fine,
And drap'd with hopes that glow with light,
How'er the sun may shine.
The owners titles good no claim
Has ye, been raised, and every par,
Is hers in her own right and name
Who'll take this precious heart!
AT TwExTr.EIGHr.
No tenant yet!
To let valuable heart!
Who seeks such property 10 get.
Will nowhere find, in any mart,
A better 10 be let.
The terms are easy, payments few
All, yes the heart described aboveI
Offers Inducements 10 the true
Economist in love
The propcriy's in good repair,
The furniture has ne'er been used,
The draper $ none The worse of wear,
But naught has been abused
IT'S cumber'd with some trifing debts
OfunrequiteG love, but these
Shall all be cancell'd, if it gets
tenant il shall please.
AT THIRTY-EIGHr.
Take down the sign!
Alas the truth must now be told;
Decay has prey'd on every part;
No pauper now would take this old,
Disapidated heart.
I'll bar the doors, hang all in gloom,
Lay the affections on the she'll.
And then, into its narrowest room,
At once III move myself.
Where shall pass each heavy day,
And living for myself-no more
III scurn the charities that may
Come knocking al my door;
This old es,ate--ths heart-may do
To hide these min'd hopes of mine
For others il has comforts few;
So then take down the sign!

Among the shipments from New York,
in September last, as an experiment, were
a basket of peaches packed in ice. They
were as fresh and as highly favored when
they reached London as when they left
New York and this little experiment, we
