Let them exult! their laugh and song
Are rarely known to last too long;
Why should we strive, with cynic frown,
To knock their fairy castles down?

Miss Eliza Cook. Youth might be wise. We suffer less from pains Than pleasures.

Bailey's Festus.
Youth hath a strong and strange desire to try
All feelings on the heart: it is very wrong,
And dangerous, and deadly: strive against it!
Bailey's Festus.

Promise of youth! fair as the form
Of Heaven's benign and golden bow,
Thy smiling arch begirds the storm,
And sheds a light on every woe.

The restless spirit charm'd thy sweet existence,
Making all beauteous in youth's pleasant maze,
"While gladsome hope illumed the onward dis-
tance,
And lit with sunbeams thy expectant days.
Willis G. Clark.

vouth whose bark is guided o'er
summer stream by zephyr's breath,

With idle gaze delights to pore

Un imaged skies that glow beneath.

William Leggett

How beautiful who scatters, wide and free,
The gold-Bright seeds of lov'd and loving
truth!

By whose perpetual hand each day supplied —
Leaps to new life the empire's heart of youth.
Cornelius Mathews.
How shall I ever go through this rough world!
How find me older every setting sun!
How merge my boyish heart in manliness!

Arthur Cleaveland Coxe

Remember not the follies of my youth,
But in thy mercy think upon me, Lord!

A NEW AND COMPLETE

Gazetteer of the United States,

EDITED BY T. BALDWIN AND J. THOMAS, M. D.

WITH

A NEW AND SUPERB MAP OF THE UNITED STATES,

ENGRAVED ON STEEL.

Above Twelve Hundred Pages, Octavo.

The Publishers take pleasure in announcing the completion of this, the most elaborate, comprehensive, and perfect Gazetteer of the United States, that has ever issued from the press. In its preparation, no considerations of expense or labor have been allowed to interfere with a work designed to be as perfect as possible in every department, and in all of its details. Nor have the successive issues of other Gazetteers, hurried through the press to claim the market, tempted the publishers to offer their book before all the ample census of 1850, and other material in the hands of the editors, were fully digested and accurately arranged.

When this Gazetteer was first announced, 800 pages, or, at the most, 900, were designed as the limit of the book. But so vast was the amount of matter accumulated through the personal labors of the editors and their assistants, as well as through the active efforts of several thousand correspondents in all parts of the United States, the work has swelled to near 1300 pages. The amount of new matter which it contains, all of a recent character, is very large, and in many instances embraces statistics and populations to 1853. This gives it an intrinsic value over every other work of the kind in existence.

We therefore offer our Gazetteer confidently, as the only complete and thoroughly reliable Gazetleer of the United States yet published. Price, four dollars.

En Press,

A UNIVERSAL GAZETTEER, OR GEOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY,

Of the most complete and comprehensive character. It will be compiled from the best English, French, and German authorities, and will be published the moment that the returns of the present census of Europe can be obtained.

WANDERINGS OF AN AMERICAN IN GREAT BRITAIN,

IN 1851 AND '52.

BY BENJAMIN MORAN,

This volume embodies the observations of the anthor, made during eight months' wanderings, as a correspondent for American Journals; and as he travelled much on foot, differs essentially from those on the same countries, by other writers. The habits, manners, customs, and condition of the people have been carefully noted, and his views of them are given in clear, bold language. His remarks take a wide range, and as he visited every county in England but three, there will be much in the work of a novel and instructive character.
