A CHAPTER TOR YOI NG LADIES. On abright and beautiful morning in autumn I seated in a neat ail pleasant writingroom, with my frien Mrs. Weston, and her daughter Emma, a lovely girl of ten years. Mrs. W. was busily engaged wit li her work, and I as deeply occupied with my bjok. Emmi'sit listlessl yjtw i-iag her thimble around her finger, ml gazing o;i a well stored work-basket before her apparent! at a loss what to do first. Do not ivtiie at ihe little girl's perplexity, bullet us tike a peep into thai basket. There are wristbm Is which she had commenced swelling weeks before, there is U a nijhtcap with the 1 order half on. and a purse just begun for her brother William, a student at College. Then there is bead work, and worsted w ork, and p itch work intended for a qui'.t for her baby sisters cradie. but who bids fair to forsake the cradle before the quilt is ready for it. There is a stocking In'.f way to the heel, and a bi -.i ready outgrow n. designated f r t;if same little favorite, for Emma loved her si-terde uiv. an ! wa never weary deviling plans for her benefit, but not lur. itis sullieient detcrmin uco to complete any thing, the object was seldom gained, and no wonder that she was nov brought to a stand. It would have puzzled older heads than hers to make a selection from such a mess all equally important. She was on the point of putting the whole away and g nng out for a walk. When her mother, who "had been anxiously regarding her, said -E'lima. I wish you to finish those wristbands to-day. your brother will be at home on Saturday, and I wish you io have the shirts completed before his arm a!." 'Oh mother, is brother William coming horn-? s sootij! and my purse is not half done yet may not I iiatsh that first?" ' No. 'iea-.

I he works of Sir Johh Froissart have beea celebrated by potts, historians and novelists, for more than four centuries. For many jears after their first publication they were circulated only 'through tne medium of manuscripts, and they were deemed presents worthy of kings and princes. The Chronicles extend from i:i'J0to 1400. They comprehend every considerable affair, which has happeued during that period in France. England, Scotland, Ireland and Flanders. They included also a vast number of particulars relative to the affairs of Rome and vignon; of Spain, Germany, Italy, even of 1 Russia. Hungary, Turkey , Africa insliort,of almost the whole known world, Froissart has always been deemed by scholars an indispensiblc pre-rcqiiisite to the reading and right comprehension of modern history lie confidently aperl that every one uho has obtained Mr Alison's late admirable histcry of Europe xrill become a purchaser of Eroissurt lor f r roissart is Alison ind bteil as is the ueciple to his master. "1 rejoice you have met with Froissart," wrote the poet C ray to one of his friends, "he is the H-'rodotus of n barherons age. His locomotive disposition, (for tken there wa9 110 other way 01 learning things. ) his ciniple rnrios-ty, ids rebiiion credulity were much like those of the old (irecian." This great undertaking is completed, and the first number, consisting of 04 pages and nu merous engravings will be issued in the month of May, after which nine more numbers similar in size and embellishment, will appear at intervals of a fortnight. The cost of the ten numbers, if taken as they (arc issurd. will be f'2 50, but if paid for in advance y'J. Readers both in city and country will do well to to pay for the work in advance, and receive the numbers as they successively appear. It is susgested to residents in the city that t lie y could not make a more acceptable present to their relations and frionds in the country than this beautiful work, which if subscribed for here, will be carefully and punctually mailed to' any address. The "Chronicle"' will be printed on the finest and most expensive book paper, far superior to that used by American book publishers in general.

N the course of a few weeks, the undersigned will commence, on his own account ihe publication of a new series of the New York Mirror, in 'the octavo form, on an entirely novel and original plan, vvi'h a Steel Engraving in every number, and at the reduced price of Three Dollars per annum or Gl cents per copy. The New Mirror will appear with many striking and attractive features, distinguishing it from every other periodical. It will be published with new type on fine paper, and each number will contain a beautiful Engraving on Steel, designed and etched by Chapman, illustrating the letter-press which it iiCcompanies. and which it will invest with peculiar interest. Besides the contributions ef all our extensive corps of Correspondents which embraces most of the talent of tne country we have made arrangements for fresh and early translations from some of the best writers of France, and for proof ike's from several of the popular authors of England. With such materials, and with such able fellow laborers in the literary v ineyard, we nope to present to thf American reader a weekly journal of great value and unusual excellence. The parade of mere names w ill be seduotisly avoided. The Mirror will be remarkable, we hope rather for good articles without names; than for poor articles with distinguished names. It will embrace in its scope every departmen of elegant literature, comprises tales of romance, sketches of society and manners, sen timent, and every day life, piquant essays domestic and foreign correspondence, liierary intelligence, w it and humor, fashion and gossip, poetry, musical and dramatic criticisms. It will aim to foster a literature suited to the taste and desires of the age and country. I'f tendency will be cheerful and enlivening, as well as improving. It will seek to gratify every refined taste, but never to offend the most fastidious, and it will ever feel its duty to be, to ';turn the sunny side of things to human eyes." The vork will be published every Saturday in numbers of sixteen larae super-royal pages, with double columns, and enclosed in a neat ornamental cover. It will form, at the end of the year, two superb volumes, each of Jour hundred and sixteen pages, filled with the gems of literature and the fine arts. The very low price at which it will be issued, renders it the cheapest periodical in this or any other country, considering the cost and beauty of its FIFTY-TWO ENGRAVINGS, and the intrinsic value of its literary contentf.
