PROSPECTUS.

This work is conducted in the spirit OF
LittelPs Museum of Foreign Literature,
(which was lavorully received 10y the public
for twenty years. but as it is twice MS large,
aud appears so often, we not only give spirit
and freshness to it by mnny things which
were excluded by n months delay, hut while
we are thus extending our scope aud gather
ing n greater aud more attractive variety, are
able 50 to incrensc the solid aud substantial
part of our literary, historical, and political
harvest, as fully TO satisfy the wants Of the
American reader.
The elaborate and stately Essays of The
Edinburgh Quarterly, and other Reviews
and BlackwOod's noble criticisms on Poetry,
his keen political Commentaries, highly
wrought Tales and vivid descriptions of 1l-
raj aud mountain Scenery aud the contri-
buttons to Literature, History, aud Common
Life, 10y the sagaciOus Spectator, the spark
ling Examiner, the judiciOus Ailtucun, the
busy and Industrious Gazette, the sensible
and comprehensive Britannia, the sober aud
respectable Christian Observer these are
intcrmiXcd with the Military aud Naval rcmi-
nisccnces of the United Service, and with
the best articles of the Dublin University,
New Monthly, Fruzcr's, Tait's, Ainsw oril's,
Hoods, and Sporting Magazines, aud Of
Chnmbcr's admirable journal. We do not
consider it beneath our dignity 10 borrow
wit and wisdom from Punch aud, when we
think it good enough, TO make use of the
thander Of The Times. We shnll increase
our variety of imp0rtatons from the cont-
ncnt of Europe, aud from the new growth
of the British Colonies.
We hope that, by 'winnowing the whoa
from the chail,' 10y providing abundnntly for
The Imagination, aud 10y large collection of
Biography, Voyages, Travels, History, and
more solid matter, we may produce II work
which shall be popular, willie at the some
time 1t will aspire TO raise the standard of
public taste.

The PaupeI'S Drath-Bed.


Tread softly-bow tho head
In rcvcrcnt silence bow!
No passing bell doth toll,
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now!
Stranger however great,
In lowly reverence bow!
There's one in that poor she'd
One by that paliry bed,
Greater than thou.
Beneath that bcggar's roof,
10, Death doth keep his state /!
Entcr-no crowds attend;
Entcr--no guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement, damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers trcad.-
Ono silent woman stands,
Lifting with meagrc hands
y dying head.
No minglirg voices sound !
An infant wall alone
A sob supprcssed-again
That short deep gasp--and then
The dying groan.
Oh change oh wondrous change !
Burst arc the prison bars
This moment there, 50 low,
So agonizcd-and now,
Beyond the stars
Oh, change! stupcndous change!
There lies the soullcss clod,-
Tho sun otcrnal breaks!
Thcncw immortal wakes
Wakes with his God

OF all the periodical journals devoted TO

The Benefits Of War.

At the close of the American Revolution,
George the Third issued Proclamation, ap.
pointing day OF Thanksgiving for the return
of pence. A shrewd country clergyman in
Scotland, upon reading the proclamation,
Immediately proceeded to England, mud hnv-
ing arrived nt the Royal Palace, solicited
personal audience with the King. Being
admitted with some difficulty to the royal
presence, after making his humble obeisance
to the sovereign, he said: g May it please
your majesty, hive received your procla-
mnlion aud wish to comply with its rQuisi-
tions but have come all the way fro IN
Scotland to ascertain what we arc to give
thinks for. Is il that your majesty has lost
thirteen flourishing proyinces?" The good
natured king, pcrceiving the humor of the
man replied "No, not ut ALL" "ls it them"
said the Scotchmau, that your majesty has
sacrificed the lives ofa hundred thousand of
his royal eubjectsp The king again replied,
mo, nothing Of the kind" Again the
Scolchmnn suid is il that your majesty has
added hundred millions 10 the national
dcb,?" The king again answered, NO, for
none Of these things" The Scolchman then
said, "Will your majesty plense condescend
TO inform me explicitly for what we are TO
give thanks% The king replied, "Why,
then, mnnilestly for this, that mntlers are no
worse with MS than they are" The good
man returned home entirely satisfied, and
preached an excellent Thanksgiving sermon.

From the London Athonnum.
An Every Day Paradox;
OR, HOW A MAN LOST ALL lie WAS
WORTH, BY GETTING RICH.
nY WILLIAM IIowtrr.

There was little village boy
Oh but his heart was full of joy,
Had he stick to whittle on,
A bag of marbles and kite,
Surely there mover was delight
Like that of Johnny Littloton.
But time passed on-a boy no longer,
Up he grew, taller, stoutcr, stronger,
And then you would admire;
For he had made a splendid marriage,
Aud ho rode in shining carriago-
John Lttleton, Esquire.
No doubt you think this very grand,
But must make you undcrstand-
A very different case;
Tho shrcwlcst heads might not have found,
Hal they surveyed this great man round,
Misfortune in his face.
Aud vet he was most sad for riches
Have something in them that bowi:ches,
And fills with large preJencc;
Whilst, ike a terrible disease,
They rob us of true mirth and case,
Our faculties and sense.
And this was now his casc-for he
Had lost his sight he could not sec
COuc tullB7, however nlgui
The friends and playmates in his youth
lie could not see them, though, IN truth,
Some stood full six feet high.
And then his hearing wcnt-oh none
Had cars 50 quick as kttte John
For ncishbors in their need;
But now, if sorrow cries and roars,
What hope, to pierce n dozen doors,
And cars most deaf indeed:
And soon he lost his common sense;
Pulled up with most absurd protencc,
lie hoped abroad to find
Each better man in poorer case
Bow down unto the dust his lace
lie was out of his mind.
His peace of mind expired in glooms,
lie built q house of many rooms
OF many and most grand;
But through them all he sought in vain,
lie could not find his peace again
In all his house and land.
Next memory wavorcd and withdrew,
The more estate and body grew,
Still grow his memory thinner;
Until he even could not tell,
Without good rosounding bell,
His common hour for dinner.
So, on his houso.top it was hung,
And loudly, daily it was rung,
To summon him to dine;
As well as that the poor might be
Assured, as they wctc drinking tea,
That he was drinking Nino.
Alas what mattcrcd wine or foodi
Oh but he was in different mood
BY bis own mothers door.
With porringer of milk and bread -
And now his appetite had fled,
And it returned 10 more.
No not though His dishes did abound
Though powdered lacqucys stood around
In jackets quantity dressed.
With scarlet collar and scarlet wrist,
And buttons stamped with great beast
Johns true armorial crest
This beast he on his trinlcts wore;
On harness; on his carriage door;
And on his sealed letters;
Upon his bed, upon his chair,
This beast was figured everywhere,
A beast in golden 1ctters.
Lost eye and ear, lost heart and hcalth
Good name, good conscience; save his veal
What loss could still befall:
Alas to crown the dismal whole,
lie died It's feared he lost his soul
The heaviest loss Of all.
