POETRY.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. LINES WRITTEN BY A LADY, j nil ivfiiap fnr tipr 7l in Ihp r:illf nf Tom"perance and addressed to a friend who told her she "was almost a monomaniac on the subieet of alcoholic drink." Go feel what I have felt. Go bear what I have borne, Sink 'neath the blow a father dealt, And the cold proud world's scorn Thus struggle on from year to year, The sole relief the scalding tear. Go, weep as I have wept, O'er a loved father's fall, See every cherished promise swept, Youth's sweetness turned to gall, Hope's faded flower strewed all the way That led me up to woman's day. Go, kneel as I have knelt, Implore, beseech and pray Strive the besotted heart to melt, The downward course to stay Be cast, with bitter curse, aside, Thy prayers burlesqu'd, thy tears defied. Go, stand where I have stood, And see the strong man now With gnashing teeth, lips bathed in blood, And cold and livid brow; (Jo, catch his wand'ring glance and see There, mirror'd, his soul's misery. Go, hear what I have heard, The sobs of sad despair, As memory feeling's fount hud stirred, And its revealings there Hath told him what he might have been, Had he the drunkard's fate foreseen. Go, to thy Mother' side, And her crushed spirit cheer, Thine own deep anguish hide, Wipe from her cheek the tear Mark her dimm'd eye, her furrowed brow, The gray that streaks her dark hair now, Her toil-worn frame, he trembling limb, And trace the min back to him Whose plighted faith in early youth Promised eternal love and truth But who, foresworn, hath yielded up This promise in the deadly cup, And led her down from love and light, From all that made her pathway bright, And chain' d her there, 'mid want and strife, The lowly thing a Drunkard' s Wife! And stamp'd on chiidhood's brow so mild, That withering blight a Drunkard's Child! Go, hear, see and feel and know All that my soul hath felt and known Then look upon the wineenp's glow, See if its brightness can atone, Think if its flavor you will try, If all proclahn'd '"77s drink and dieV Tell me I hate the bowl! Hate is a feeble word I loathe, abhor my very soul With strong disgust is stirr'd Whene'er I see, hear, or tell Of the dark beverage of Hell! A TALE. THE FIRST OFFER. Susan Willis was a sprightly, cherry-cheek-ed sirl of seventeen, when she made her conquests. Edward Littleton loved her with all the sincerity of a young and ardent soul, and made her honorable proposals; she was pleased I with his preference, allowed his visits, because 1 she loved tobeadnuredjshe rode with him to show the world that she ha d made a conquest; but when after having frequently urged her on the subject of marriage hetoldherlhe would have a decided answer, she laughed and told him she hoped he did not think that one so young and admired as herself, would become the wife of a poor mechanic. He blushed deeply, then fixing his eyes on her face with a determined look, asked her if she was in earnest. "Never more so," she earnestly replied. "Susan," continued he, "you ought to have

no sooner left her than he felt himself released doubtfully or her recovery from the dreadful from a dangerous snare; he consoled himself shock which she had received. At length,howby reflecting that she was unworthy of his ever', she appeared again;but it was with such

bow politely , if not significantly, to her as he passed her window, and even sometimes asked her to take a morning ride in his carriage, but what of this? No one professed what Edward had, and she began to reflect a little sorrowfully on the unkind treatment she had given him. He was now in easy circumstances, and might sometimes be seen riding inhis own carriage, with his wife and two hlooming cherubs. Three years passe I j way, and Susan began to think

he would be under the I sad necessity of living a life of "single blessed ness, when a new person came to pass a few months in the village. He wore a gold wateh, rode in an elegant gilt chaise, and what was "Jore lhan a11' he came directly from the city. "c uPon mm aimosi as a su perior being, and no one spoke higher in his praise man nusan lllis; for he passed her window every day, and always took particular pains to make her a fashionable low. She once met him at a ball, and what was her ccstacy of delight, when after having shown her much attention through the. evening, he" very politely offered to escort her home. This was indeed a moment of triumph to the neglected Susan. She had caught the city beau, and the disdainful looks she cast on those around her, as he conducted tier through the crowded room, were snch as could not be misunderstood; the fine gilt chaise was waiting at the door, and when she found herself seated in it and heard the wheels running merily around, she almost thought she was in another world and fancied herself an angel. rom this evening the stranger was an almost eonstaut visiter at the house of Mr. Willis, and Susan was often heard to draw comparisons be tween the manners and equipage of the city beau and those of the rustic yotith of her own village. She was seen frequently riding mthe guilt chaise, and then she loved to pass the neat white mansion of Edward Littleton, who was now a widower, and dwell on the splendors which her new lover promised her when he should take her to the city. She thought much on the difference between her first and second offer, and very gravely said she always believed it best for girls to wait until they had some sense, before they should choose a companion for life. Splendid preparations were now making at the house of Mr. Willis for the accommodation of a large party. Susan's lover had sent to the city to purchase a suit of apparel, which he de clared would out-rival the very sun itself; he also gave orders to have a maid accompany it, who should be capable of waiting on his soon to be new bride, in fashionable style. The young people began to say among themselves, "Miss Y illis is about leaving us,and why should we part with unfriendly feelings? 'Tis true she has some faults, and who among tis have not? vet I must confess I alwavs thought her intolerable fine girl and it is a downright shame that we have so long neglected hen it is no more than just for us now to make amends for our past conduct." It was therefore unanimously agreed upon among the young villagers to go on a particular day, and make Miss Willis a for mal visit, the ladies in the afternoon and the gentlemen in the evening. The custom of sendingcompliments, cards, &c., had not reach ed the rural hamlet, and so all of a sudden full fifteen or twenty belles stood at the door of Mr W illis, knocking for admission. After waiting for the usual salutation of "come in," the door was suddenly opened, and the city beau stood before them. After many ceremonies he in troduced them into the parlor where Mr. Willis was sitting, and immediately retired. At the expiration of half an hour, he returned with Susati leaning on his arm, who, when she had courtesied very ceremoniously to the ladies, in formed them that she was going to take an airiug, and would not return until late in the eve ning, but her father could entertain them. They all instantly rose, without replying, and hurried from the house,cach secretly promisin herself never again to bestow her attentions on one whom she knew to be unworthy of them Mr. Willis was a plain honest man, and did not altogether like the proceedings of the day but his daughter was old enough to act for herself, as she used to tell him when he essayed to give her advice. About this time a covered carriage arrived in he village, and three strangers alighted from it They were seen conversing with some of the inhabitants, when they proceeded to the house of Mr. alls, and returned having the city beau in close custody. They conveyed h'nn to jail for safe keeping until they should depart. It ap j peared that he was not only a married man and a bankrupt, but he had had put his hands on I other's goods, for which crime he was now arrested. This was a mighty blow on Miss Susan. from the city, and they also hinted about the I waiting maid and the dress like the sun; but all this did not harm poor Susan; she had other and heavier troubles. Many weeks passed away and she was seen by none except her kindred, and they spoke laugh at her misfortunes. Now sherememberwith agony the first offer, and thought she was pursued by the just judgments of Heaven for her treatment of the faithful Edward. She had loved him and had not her pride and love Susan," he said, looking in her face with an expression of tenderness, that induced her for a moment to believe he would forget her faults, and his former affections would return. But when the heart's fervent hope has been broken, and its best and most intense feelings suddenly wrecked, it is like a blasted tree seared with the high lightning of heaven, and can never again be verdant! Edward felt sensible of this, and although he could freely pity and forgive the

With more Splendid Embellishments than any other Masazvne in the Lmon. EDITED BY George R. Graham, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, C. J. Peterson, Mrs. Emma C.Embury, Edgar A. Poe. Miss E. Leslie, Theodore S. Fay, Permanent and Regular George P. Morris, Contributors. This work, devoted to both sexes, will open a New Volume with the number of January, 1842, with an array 01 i;ontributor oi talent and fame. which no periodical in the country can boast of or pretend to rival. The volume will be opened with a new and beautiful type, the finest white paper; and with the first of a New Series of Embellishments, Unsurpassed by any which have yet appeared in anv Magazine, The style of elegance, the beauty and finish of the illustrations, and the extensive improve ments which will be made in its typographical appearence, and above all, the tone of its litera ry department given it by the brilliant array of its Contributors, whose articles will enrich the pages of each number, will eive it a character above any .Magazine in the Union. The Magazine has become the standard of taste in matters of embellishment, and has'led the way in every thing really beautiful published in the Magazines of last year. The voice of the pub'ic press while it places the work at the Head of American Literature, is unanimous in the announcement, that no work ever started in the country has been so elegantly embellished, or has so rapidly increased, l'or the New volume, the most extensive arrangements have been made, with the most distinguished artists in the country, for a supply of elegant embellishments of all eorte. Our Beautiful Mezzotint Engravings. It affords ua much tatisfactioo -to be able to state, that we have made arrangements with Mr. S ART A IN, the accomplished mezzotint engraver, whose plates have contributed so much to the beauty of the Magazine heretofore, by which we secure hu splendid mezzotints for thii workalone. No other magazine of this kind can have them without permission from vt. In addition to those, we hare secured the burin of another talented mezotint. engraver 11. S, Sadd, Esq , of New York that there may be no disappointment as to number or reg ularity. I bese will be equal to any thing pub li6hed, so that we are able confidently to prom ise a Mezzotint in every number. These beautiful engravings will therefore form a feature in Grahatn't Magazine, in every number, so that we shall be able to distance any thing like com petition on this ground. 1 bese plates are the most expensive that can be got up for a mega zine of laige circulation, in consequence of the great price of printing being more than double that if line engravings and the necessity of reduplicating the plates; our edition already ren dering it necessary that two or three plates of the same subject must be prepared for every uumber in which they are used. We now print an edition greater than thit of any contemporary for the la6t yea', and confidently assert that at the same rale of increase e shall issue, in 1842, an edition of nut less than 35,(KX) Copies Monthly, and shall Boon have an edition unequalled in the history of magazine publishing. Our Splendid Steel Engravings. We have alao entered into a distinct and permanent arrangement with Kowdon, WrightHatch and Smillie, and with A L. Dick, Esq. of New York, fur a series of splendid engravings, to be got up in a style unsurpassed by any that- have ever been done in this country. The wide spread fame of these artists is a sufficient guarantee of the character of the work we shall receive from their hands. So that with 6ucb an organization, we may : safely defy competition in the way of embellishmen is, snow me worm a pattern tor otners to . ii . , follow, in the way of liberal and judicious expenditure, and fix a new era in the faietoty of mag azine publishing in this country. Elegant Embossed Work, An agreement has also been ntade with that meritorious and accomplished artist, F. Quarre. Esq., for a full supply of taeteful Embroidery, Lace-Work, Birds, Flow ert, and Landscapes, Colored in the most Fin ished and Elegant Style. This will form an expensive, but popular and attractive feature in the work, and with the va riety which wilt be thus introduced, will always be novel and pleasing. Richly Cole red Fashions. Incompliance with the almost unanimous wish or our lady subscn hers, we shall furnish them with a beautiful and correct plate of FASHIONS, and shall also give the style for gentlemen, which has been de cidedly popular with beth sexes, and has render ed the work the TEXT BOOK OF FASHION, the Union over. These, however, shall in no wibe interfere with the regular and choice engraving and music which accompany each uuin: ber of the Magazine, as we shall not suffer ourselves to be surpassed in number or beauty of illustrations by any other work, but shall maintain the position we have assumed, of leading all others in richness, beauty, excellence, and variety ol Magazine embellishment. The Literary Character, The reputation of the Magazine thus far, would be sufficient guarantee for the future; but that it may be seen that nothing has been left undone to maintain every department of the work, and to elevate the literary, as well as the p'xtoiial department, j

In addition to this brilliant arra y of names known to fame, the distinguished services of a host of anonymous writers of no ordinary abilities will give worth and character to the pages of the magazine. The series of the well known nautical papers entitled "Cruising in the last War;" and "The Reefer of T6 have had a run unequalled by any series published in any Ma gazine for years. The author promises to open a new series of Tales of the Sea, and from his known abilities as a depictor of sea scenes and life, much may be relied upon from him in maintaining the popularity of the magazine. Papers may be expected during this volume al so, from the author of the well known articles entitled "The Log of Old Ironsides," besides a variety of choice articles in prose and verse from various writers of celebrity, as Contribu tors to the prominent magazine of the country. Sterling Criticisms. The critical department shall still form a distinctive character of the work, and is under the control of a gentleman of critical acumen and repute long established, and held every where second to none for sagacity, and an honest, fearless independence. The review of books may therefore be ex pected to be candid and entirely free from the inane puffing which marks the bookseller's hack; but shall be thoroughly impartial and sc verely just. TIME OF PUBLICATION. The w ork will be published on the first of the month in every quarter of the Union. The most distant subscribers will consequently re ceive it on that day, as well as those who re side in Philadelphia. THE LOWEST TERMS.

So great indeed haO their effi cacy invariably proved, that it was scarcel. less than miraculous to those who were unac" quainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they were compounded and npnn which they consequently act. ' THE PHQ2N1X BITTKKS are so called b. cause they possess the power of restoring t'ue expiring embers of health, to a glowing vigor throughout tli3 constitution, as the PboMiix said to be restored to life from the ashes uf own dissolution. The Pho?nix Hit! . tirely vegetable, composed of roots found onlr in certain parts of the western countrv. whiriv will infallibly cure Fevers and Agues of air kinds; will uever fail to eradicate entirely ali the effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than puwenui preparations of Sarsaparilla and will immediately cure the determination of blood to the head; never fail in the sickness incident to young females; and will be found a certain remedy in all cases of nervous debiN ity and weakness of the most impaired constitutions. As a remedy for Chronic and Inflainatory Rheumatism, the efficacy ofthePLcenix Bitters will be demonstrated by theuseofa single bottle. The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afforded by the universal diffusion of the press for placing Vegetable Life Medicines witbin the knowledge and reach of every individual in the community. Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely and solely vegetable! and contain neither Mercury. Antimony, Arsnic, nor any other mineral,- in any form whatever. They are entirely composed of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to several Indian tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether unknown tt the ignorant pretenders to medical science; and were never before administered in so happily efficacious a combination. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudites constantly settling around them; andlo remove the hardened faxej which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. uiuer medicines on.y partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costivenefs, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrLaia, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known toail regularanatoinit-ts who examine the human bowels after death.- and hence the prejudice of thete well informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the Vegetable Life Pills is to cleanse the kidneya am' the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lunge, the healthful action of which eutrely depends upon the regularity nf the urinary o:gans. The Blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and tht lungs before it passesi ntn the heart, being Ibos purified by tbein, and nourished by food coning from a clean stomacb.courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the bannef of health in the blooming cheek. The following are among the distressing variety nf huaian diseases, to which the Vegetable Life Pills are well known to be infallible: DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind; Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of appetite. Heart-burn andh eadache, Restlessness. Ill temper, Anxiety, Laoiruur and MelanchoIIy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a uatuaal consequence of its cure. Coetivenees, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines witb a solvent proccos, and without violence all vio lent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhoea and Cbolera.by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complatiM . , , , . - . , are occasioned, anu uy promoting me wunntive secretions of the mucous membrane. Fever of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation through the process ot perspiration in some cases, and the thorough solution of ail intestinal obstructions in others. The Lite Medicines have been knowu to cure Rheumaitm permanently in three weeki, and Gout in half that time, by removing local imflamtnatina from the muscles and ligaments of the joints Dropsies of all kinds, by free-ng and strengthening the kidneys and bladder; they operate mort delightfully on those important organs, aod hence have ever been found a certain remedy for the wortt cases of Gravel. Also worms by dislodging from the turnings of the bowelttht slimy matter to which these creatures adhere.
