ANGELS WHISPER.

Angel whispers! will they never
Cease to tell of golden realms;
Isles of beauty, smiling ever,
In a mystic sea of dreams!
Lands of flowers, Of gems and spices,
And an atmosphere Of love, s.
Where the dark-oyed girls cntice US
In the fairy lands to rove. r
Angel whispers, softly bringing
From beyond the star-lit skies,
Echoes of the sweet songs ringing
Through tho wales of paradise;
Visions of bright fountains gushing,
Nectar washing golden sands,
And the red wine rivers rushing
By the pearl and amber strands.
Angel whispers, gently stealing
Where the hush of death surrounds,
With their holy balm of healing,
For the bruised spirits wounds;
Breathing delightful story
Of bright Immortality,
And land of love and glory,
Far beyond life's troubled sea.

POETRY.
THE UNKNOWN WORLD.


Thore is a world we have not seen,
And time can ne'er that world destroy,
Where mortal footstep hath not been,
Nor car hath caught its sounds Of joy.
There is region loftier far,
Than sages know or poets sing
Brighter than summer beauties are,
And softer than the time of spring.
There is world with blessings blest,
Beyond what prophets e'er forctold,
Nor might the tongue Of angel guest,
A picture of that world unfold.
1t is all holy and serene,
The land of glory and repose;
No darkness dims the radiant scene,
Nor sorrows tear within it flows
1t is not fann'd by summers gale,
'Tis not refreshed by vernal showers;
1t never needs the moonbeams pale,
Nor are there known the evenings hours
Mono! that world is ever bright,
With azure radiance all its own!
The streams of uncreated light
Flow round from the eternal throne.
There, forms that mortals may not see,
Too glorious for the eye to trace,
And clad in peerless majesty,
Move forward with unaltcred grace.
In vain the philosophic eye
May seek to view the full abode,
Or find it in the curtaincd sky
1t is the dwelling place of God.

From the New York Mirror
MY FIRST PROPOSAL,

A faint heart never won fair lady,'
has become settled trueism; but wheih.
er strcng heart ever won coquette, is
problemical; yet as far rs am concern.
ed, | will endeavor to solve the question.
The dullness of the summer months in
the city, induced me to return to my no.
tive town. l had been absen, for several
years, and longing to visit once more the
scenes of my childhood, and enjoy the
pure air and the fascinating idleness Of
the country. 1t was in the quiet and so.
Der village Of Pelham, that met with the
her,'ine of my story.
had been in the town but few days.
when the quiet Of the village was sensibly
disturbed by rumor that Mrs. Beal was
to give party, for the purpose of intro.
dacing her niece, Miss Polly Shivels.-
Such an occurrence formed Of course the
all absorbing topics of conversation; and
various were the reports circulated in re.
gard 10 the young lady, who was to form
the chief attraction of the evening; but
all agreed that she was an heiress and dis
engaged. A residence in the city for sew
eral years, had softened the nature and
uncou.hness of my manners, and given
ME degree Of confidence necessary to
figure in society and this confidence was
rendered double strong when thought CT
the Insignificant rivalry should meet with
among the village beaux; SO I fnlly re-,
solved to monopolise Mss Shriver, and if
possible to gain her affections. The
evening for the party arrived, and in or
'ler TO create an overwhelming sensation,
as well as TO give evidence of my city
breeding, ! repaired ut late hour to Mrs.
Beal's and Of course found the whole
company assembled. Opposite the door
were seen dozen young ladies', standing
arm in arm, watching the entrance ofeach
party, while another group were telling
fortunes, or looking over some soiled en-,
cravings. The village beaux clustered
round the door, keeping respectable dis
tance from the ladies', their coun tenances
5etraying the will to do, but not the soul
to dare. :. :.
Miss Shriver was standing in the re.
cess Of window, listlessly gazing on the
scene around her, but without appearing
to participate in the gaiety of her com.
panions. Her person was rather beyond
the common size, or, perchance l should
say,ait was very uncommon size, ard
she would bave been vulgarly termed
fieshy. Her hair, the color Of which
might have been POLITICALLY termed auburn,
but which. in plain prose. we will describe

jokes NEVER D1E.-Jokes arc; immortal.
Capital or shocking. they survive the most studi-
ed speeohes Of orators. the profoundest papers
ofstatesmeu. If some antediluvian editor treat
ed his readers to one we do not believe that all
the waters of the food could drownit. Agood
joke nowadays goes to help digest the roast
beef and cherry pudding of a thousand families.
It makes the circuit of the world, steams over
the ocean, skates on telegraph wires, tunnels
mountains, rides expresses, excites the risibles
of armies and Of evening circles, makes many
merry, and harms no one. Verify, good joke
is great thing and bad one is abominable.
