AMUSKG POEM. ,
"It Is a good thing to laugh, at any rate;
and if a atraw can tickle a man, it is an instru
ment of happiness. : Beasts can weep when
they. snSer, bnt they cannot laugh." Thus
wrote Dryden, and , being fully of tho opinion
that it is our peculiar privilege as intelligent
beings, to laugh not simply with a hall-sup- I
pressed titter, but with a hearty and startling

REFLECTIONS
OS MCHVISO A COPT OF MY FIRST POEM IS FRIST
An I here it is ! I'm famous now
An author and a poet ;
It really is in print ! ye gods !
How proud I'll be to show it.
And gentle Anna ! What a thrill
; Wilt animate her breast,
To read these ardent lines and know
To whom they are addressed.
:' Why, bless my soul '.here's something strange,
What can the paper mean,
' By talking of the "graceful brooks
That gander o'er the green."
And here's a t instead of r,
Which makes it ''tippling rill;"
"We'll seek the shad" instead of "shade,"
And "hell" instead of "hill.V . ,
"They look so" what ! I recollect,
t Twas "sweet" and then 'twas "kind ;'
And now to think the stupid fool,
For "bland" has printed "blind,"
Was ever such provoking work
Tis curious', by the by
' How anything is rendered blind
By giving it an eye.
"Hast thou no tears," the t's left out,
"Hast thou no ears," instead ;
"I hope that thou are dear" is put
"I hope that thou art dead."
Who ever saw in such a spaco
So many blunders crammed !
"Those gentle eyes bediramed," is spelt
"Those gentle eyes bed d.
"The color of the rose" is "nose,"
"Aflection" is "affliction ;"
I wonder if the likeness holds,
In fact as well as fiction 1
"Thou art a friend," the r is gone :
Who ever would have deemed
That such a trifling thing could change
A "friend" into a "fiend !"
"Thou art the same" is rendered "lame,"
It really is too bad ;
And here, because an i is out,
"My lovely maid" is "mad,"
- They drove her blind by poking in
An eye a process new ;
And now they've gouged it out again
And made her crazy, too.
"Where are the muses fled that thou
Should'st live so long unsung ?"
Thns read my version here it is
"Shoud'st live so long unhung ;"
"The late of woman's love is thine,"
And it commences "fate ;"
How small a circumstance will turn
"A woman's love to hate.
I'll read no more. What shall I do T
I'll never dare to send it !
The paper's scattered far and wide
'Tis now too late to mend it.
O, fame ! thou cheat of human bliss,
Why did I ever write I
I wish my poem had been burnt
Before it saw the light.
Let's stop and recapitulate :
I've d d her eyes, that's plain
I've toli he she's a lunatic,
And blind, and deaf, and lame.
Was ever such a horrid hash -
In poetry or prose J
I've said she was a fiend, and praised
The color of her nose.
I wish I had thai editor,
' About a half a minute,
I'd basg him to his heart's content,
And with an h begin it.
I'd OA bis' body, eyes and bones,
And spell it with a d ;
And send him to that hill of his
He spells it with an b.

The Great Library Offer. Agents Getting Rich !
Tho union of -EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has eiven to the consoli
dated work a circulation second to but one similar
publication in the country, and has secured for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivalled by any other magazine . in the
world. During the hrst month, tne sale in inc trade
and demand from subscribers exceeded 00.000 co
pies, and the numbers already issued of the con-
solidated work are universally conceded to have
surpassed, m the richness of their literary contents,
and the beauty and proiuseness 01 ineir pieionui
illustrations, any magazineever before issued from
the American press. Encouraged by these eviaen
ccs of favor, the publishers have determined to
commence the new volume in January with still
additional attractions, and to oner such induce
ments to subscribers-as cannot ail to place it, in
circulation, at the head 01 American magazines.
With this view they now announce the following
splendid programme. They have purchased that
superb and costly steels-plate engraving.
THE LAST SUlIilK"
and will present a copy of it to every three-dollar
subscriber for tho year 1853. It was engraved at
a cost of over 55.000, by the late celebrated A. L
Dick, from the original of Raphael Morghen, after
Leonard) Da Vinci, and is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the sizeot theordiuary engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are held
at 10, and it was the intention ot tho artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a less sum than 5, being richly worth that amount.
Thus every three-dollar subscriber will receive
tho Mrrazine one year cheap at S3 and this
splendid engraving, richly worth 55 ; thus jret-
tms tor S-i the value of l-.iirtit dollars.
A e shall commence striking on the enjrravin'rs
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions ot so large a plat can be taken as tast
as they will be called tor by subscribers. He shall,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions are received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings early, and ironi the nrst im
pressions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay lhe engraving can be sent on rollers,
by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers
shall order.

l trst: Because its literary contents will, during
the year, embrace contributions from over one
hundred different writers and thinkers, num
bering among them the most distinguished of A-
mencan authors.
Heconil r Because its editorial departments. '-Our
Studio," '-OurWindow." and '-Our Olio." will each
be conducted by an able edisor and it will stir

contents, any other magazine.

large number of them are in successful operation
in different sections of this country, Canada, Cuba,
and South America, and wherever their merits
have been tested they are being adopted by lumber
manufacturers in preference to all other mills.
lhe louowing letter expres.-es the general opin
ion of those who are using the Combination Mill :
.Messrs. Emerson A Co Gentlemen : I have tried
the saw-mill purchased of you, and will say that
it performs well, and more than meets my sxpeo
tations. I am well pleased with its performance.
I set it up on a small stream that afforded constant
water about as thick as my little finger, which was
much more than sufficient to supply the boiler.

county for a long time. With a Itle trouble and
expense, we are able to move it from five to t:u

timber, which saves tho great burden of hauling
the logs a long distance to the mill.
