About ten years ago. there lived on the st.

Jacob, or Jake Stringer, as he was called, was a
most eccentric genius, and took every occasion to
show his oddness One day while sitting before
the fire whiting O shingle, bis mother said to him.

a half O mile distant) and get me aquarter's worth
Of tea, and q quarters worth Of sugar, and a quar-
ter's worth Of soap. Now mind what 1 tell You
Jake, and be quick about it," Jake reused him
self up, brushed the WRITINGS from his lap, and
started forth on his errand, clothed in blue fustisn
~5reeches, and vest of the same material. and a
thick WOODEN shirt without any coat. He did not
return that day, and his mother waited long and
anxiously for her tea, sugar and soap, bat in vain.
Ten years passed by, and no tidings were heard
Of the errand boy. Yesterday. as the family were
sitting down to their Thanksgiving dinner, the
door opened and in CANT a tall, mous.ached, good
looking man. with some bundles in his hand. II

In assuming the control Of the Atlantic Month
ly, it's new proprietors deem il scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.

received from all parts Of the country seem TO JUS
tify them in the confidence that their own char

rant thet they will do everything in their power 10
increase its interest, to enlarge ito circle os attrao-
ton, and to raise it's standard Of ability in all
departments. -.. .-..--,su
They think IL proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character Of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose coDtribu-
tons have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium of communities
ton with the public; and that the relations Of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of its pages. -7
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
a sectional journal. Its publishers acknowledge
no parallels Of latitude in the Republic of Letters;
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them. not by the source whence it comes, but BY
its own intrinsic worth, they will ct the same time
endeavor to maintain its character as a periodical
10 which earnest thinkers may find expression,
unhampered by fear of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. Three Dollars per annum, or twenty.
Eve cents a number. Upon the receipt of the sub
s~cription price, the publishers will mail the work
to any part of the United States, prepaid. Sab
scriptions may begin with either the first or any
subsequent number. The postage of the Atlantic
is thirty. six cents a year, if prepaid.
The pages of the Atlantic are stereotyped, and

THE LITTLE ONE SLEEPS.

A little precious baby
Came to my heart one day,
And, folded there most lovingly,
A long sweet time she lay.
Her little fairy fingers
Der my bosom softly crept-
A faint thrill ever lirgers
There, where her pure cheek slept.
Her eyes were dark and beautiful
As evenings starry sky
Her voice as clear and musical
As birds that sing on high.
Like lilies cleaned her snowy skin /;
Like pale gold shone her hair;
Like pearls her rosebud lips within,
Shone tiny teeth so fair
So fair, so pure, my little gem,
That angels came to see,
And seeing, bore her home with them,
Their angel babe to be-.
And ever, when cast down apart,
In agony l weep,
There thrills within my stricken heart
A thought that meier shall sleep:
That. Graded in an angels arms
From every sorrow free
A little bright-wingsd s~eraph-ohild
Waits lovingly for me.
