SONG.
Miss Mary, Oh dear can you tell me how is
I'm so awkward, keep blushing and stammering
so,
When at evening call for a tete-a-tete visit,
To spend few moments conyersing with YOU
Ills not that you frown 20 nO,-for you never
Have frowned on me yet; SO tell me pray,
Why my heart won't be still, but keeps humping
Whenever
II happens by chance that come in your way.
I've chatted and danced with the belle and the
beauty;
I've courted and firtcd with a dozen or so,
And could always genteelly perform any duty
That lady expects on the part of a beau.
But when see you, my hearts in a futter;
Hook and feel awkward my confidence fails
me-
I try TO talk gaily,-but stammer and stutter,-
For PHYS sake, Mary, can you tell me what ails
me!

The London Quarterly Review, conservative; the
Edinburgh ReUieo, wing; the North British ReUieic,
Free Church the Westminster Review, liberal; and
Black,cood's Edinburgh Magazine, Tory.
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political
subjects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chiefvau and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals their class.
Blackwood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notabes
written for that magazine and first appearing in
its columns both In Great Britain and the United
States. Such works as "The CaXtons" and My
New Novel," (both by Bulwer), My Peninsuar
Medal" >" The Green Hand" and other serials, of
leading publishers in this country, have to be're.
printed by those publishers from the pages of
Blackwood, after 1t has been issued by Messrs.
Scott & Co.. so that Subscribers to the Reprint of
that Magazine may always rely on having the ear
Hest reading of these fascinating tales. These Re-
prints have now been in successful operation in
this country for twenty years and their circulation
is constantly on the increase Notwithstanding the
competition they encounter from American pcrod-
icals of a similar class and from numerous Eclec-
tics and Magazines Made up Of selections from for
eign periodicals. This fact shows clearly the high
estimation in which they are held by the intell-
gent reading public, and affords guarantee that
they are established on q firm basis, and will be
continued without interruption.

PROGRESS OF THE WEsT.-Since 1900 the
population of the West has increased from half
a million to eleven millions. The North West,
including Western New York, Michigan, Wis
consin, Iowa, and Minnesota, now numbers l.
40l ,486; the middle West comprising western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Kentucky, and western Virginia, contains $751;
600 inhabitants; tho South West-Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana Arkansas, and
Texas-3,2S3,O5O. The West, or what is usu-
ally termed the Valley of the Mississippi con-
tains 2,OO2,779 square miles, or ,2Si,774,0SO
acres. If we subtract, say 100000 square miles
or 256,OOO,OOO of acres drained by the Lakes
and the Gulf of Mexico, there remains over l.
OOO,OOO,OOO acres, or one-haf of the Republic,
in the Mississippi Valley. The Milwaukie Dem
ocrat says; Fifty years hence, if we progress
in the future as we have in the past, the popu-
lation of the Union will have quadrupled, and
the Republic will contain l00,000,000 people,
and very large portion of this population will
be in the Mississippi Valley. What profound
subject ofcontemplation for the philosopher, the
statesman, and the phianthropist! What is to
be the character and condition ofthese millions!
How important that our successors shall be ed
ucated to understand and rightly discharge their
high responsibilities! That the moral and men,
tai, as well as material elements, should all be
moulded and fashioned in accordance with the
design of the Great Architect, so as to work out
for them and their posterity the highest human
happinessp'

BE KIND TO THE OLD.-Be kind to those who
are in the autumn of life, for thou knowest not
what the suferings they may have endured, or
how much it may still be their portion to bear.
Are they querulous or unreasonable? Allow
not thine anger to kindle against them; rebuke
they not; for doubtless many and severe have
been the crosses and trials of earlier years; and
Perchance their dispositions, while in the spring
time of life, were more gentle and flexible than
thine own. Do they require aid of thee! Then
render it cheerfuly, and forget not that the time
may come when thou mayest desire the same
assistance from others, that thou renderest un-
to them. Do all that is needful for the old,
and do it with alacrity, and think it not hard if
much is required at thine hands, lest when age
has set its seal upon thy brow, and filled thy
limbs with trembling, others may wait upon
thee unwlingly, and feel relieved when the cot.
FIN lid has covered thy face forever

Gaylord Clark, will commence its 39th volume with
the number for January 1852. With the New Vol
ume the price will be reduced from Fire to Three
Dollars year, or 2J cents per number. The con-
tents of the Knickerbocker are entirely original,

der any remarks upon it unnecessary. The pub
Usher has been led TO reduce the price of subscrp-
ton from knowledge of the fact that thousands
who wished TO read the Knickerbockcr were kept
from its perusal solely account of the expense,
and he believes that many more who purchase
without regard to quality, so much as quantity,
will! by low price be induced TO become acquain-
ted with Knickerbocker, and thus become its
steady patrons. There will be no change in the
form, size or character of the Magazine except IL
