[Tlie following very accepinlile poetical eniisiori was 

 written bj the same gentleman who presented us with a Mam- 

 raoili Gourd, and some appropriate verses on its uses, ^-c. 

 published in the N. E. Farmer, vol. XII. p. 312. 



The time has r.omo, friend Fessenden, 

 To pay you my respects again. 

 Wanting a Gourd or Calabash 

 I've packed them in this marrow squash. 

 If all who read your Magazine 

 Are gratified as I have been, 

 They will not fail to grace your hoard 

 With best their gardens will afford. 

 Nor he, whose ample garden vies 

 With fairest fruit of Paradise, 

 Ever forget to set apart. 

 Daily, enough for your dessert. 

 Of ]\IeIon, rium and Peach and Pear, 

 Of each the fairest of the ftir. 

 Nor'he whose Garden grows the Vine 

 Stint your board for grapes and wine. 

 There's wanting yet one blessing more 

 For present use and winter store, 

 I need not name it in the list. 

 The bounty of the Oichardist. 

 He will not let you want supplies 

 For your dessert and tarts and pies; 

 And for preserves we'll not forget 

 And add the Quince for Marmalet. 

 Were I possessed with gifts like thine 

 Like thee the favorite of the Nine, 

 Thus with a table daily spread 

 With choicest fruit of every shade 

 When all my wants were satisfied 

 And every sense was gratified 

 Although my harp had lost a string. 

 Or feather out of fancy's wing. 

 Although the Muses fiir and young 

 Refused to aid me in a song. 

 One bold attempt I'd make, at least. 

 In song to paint my splendid feast. 

 . First, paint the melon's shape and size 

 To please an epicurean's eyes; 

 Then give the plum that purple blush 

 Unequalled by a painter's brush ; 

 And shade the peach till colors glow 

 Bright as the heavenly crescent bow ; 

 Then add to crimson, blue and green, 

 For apricot and nectarine; 

 Next, boldly ask Pomona's aid 

 To paint additions she has made. 

 And give to every kind of fruit 

 Its own appropriate attribute. 

 No more I'll say what I would do, 

 A saucy speech, if I were you, 

 But wish you, sir, with health possessing, 

 Plenty and peace with heaven's blessing. 



AifONYMOfS. 

 ANSWER BY THE EDITOR. 



The author of preceding metre, 



Sweet as the sweetest squash, or sweeter. 



Has laid us under obligation 



By his acceptable donation. 



Which cannot be expressed by us 



Without the aid of Pegasus; 



But we can neither catch nor stride him. 



Besides, we have no time to ride him. 



A whole volcano full of fire 



Poetical it would require 



To aid the donee to express 



Say half the feelings, more or less. 



Of gratitude with which lie views 

 Those gifts of Ceres and the Muse, 

 (Who must have form'd a coalition 

 For our particular fruition) 

 With which the much respecteil bard 

 Elicits our supreme regard. 



P. S. A Purple Broccoli, sent us since, 

 Might grace the table of a Prince, 

 And such a luxury is rare- 

 Ly met with in our bill of fare. 

 Now if the Nine were Ninety-nine, 

 All set to spinning verse divine. 

 Their goddessliips could not express 

 The ninth part of our thankfulness. 



True sphhre of woiian. — "It is tlie Jieart 

 only," as Madame fie Stael lias said, " It is the 

 lieart only, which must serve woman, instead of 

 iostruetion and experience ; and it may render 

 her worthy of fec!in.!j that, of which she is incapa- 

 ble of jiuigina:. site is, indeed, exalted l>y re- 

 flection, hilt weakness and sensibility niiist ever 

 be the leading features of her character." 



Yes ! this is the Inniniage of dispassionate truth. 

 The empire of love anW of sense is appropriated 

 to woman ; the ascendant of genius belongs to 

 man. To acquire his love and esteem is tlie high- 

 est aim at whicli female ambition ought to soar : 

 and there is no soundness of intellect, no brillia;icy 

 of imagination, that can otherwise create an abi- 

 ding interest, or atone for hollowness in the aflec- 

 tions; let disorder — if disorder there must any 

 ■where be — invade tlie head, and be it compara- 

 tively welcome ; but let it never fix itself in the 

 lieart !

At a late examination of chiliiren, previous to 

 the ceremony of confirmation at Ormskirk, the 

 following edifying colloquy took place between 

 the vicar and a girl from Btirscaugh : 



Vicar. Who made you ? 



Girl. Whoy, my fayther. 



Vicar. I don't mean that ; but who made your 

 sou! and body ? 



Girl. Whoy, Betty Roberts, deawn i' th' lane, 

 made th' skirt, an' luother an' me made th' body. 



Vicar. I find you're not fit to come here. 



Girl. Noa ! Oi thout so mystn', for oi've had a 

 dreedfnl hooel complaint this fortneet. 



V/hcn I hear a woman spi.'ak with contempt of 

 the opinion of the w: r'tl, it argues in her neither 

 good feeling, cleverness, nor true courage. 'J'rue 

 courage (in woman) consists in at once giving up 

 what may be agreeable and innocent in itself, ra- 

 ther tiiaii having one's good name called in ques- 

 tion. — Lady Dacre's new JVovd.

 color out of the eyes, as well as to make men mad. 

 It will, according to eastern traveller.s, turn dark 

 eyes to a very light hue, adding very little to their 

 beauty.
