The Watch.
Sleep fearless on, the sky is bright.
The tan are beainrng o'er the deep;
The moon affords her gentle lifjht,
AU'i well and cafe, then fearless deep.
' ' There's nanglit the srasib'rera rest to breuh.
Scarcely the winds our while sails swell,
The faithful watch alone must wake.
To tiead tlie deck and sing "all's woll."
Now, now thb gale, it brisker grows,
And higher swells the briny deep.
Swiftly our gallant vessel goes.
All's fair, all's fair, yet fearless sleep.
. Furl yonder sail the wind is strong,
. But yet it does no danger tell,
List, the untiring Watchman's song.
Sleep fearlcft on, for "all is well.
But now the stars grow dim and pale,
t ; The moon lias left the low'ringsky,
; Wake, messmates wake, and furl the sail.
The storm clouds gather thick on high.
. Hark, hark, the thunders deeply sound,
- i A gath'ring tempest, they do (ell;
Bouse, slumb'rers rouse, from res: profound,
. While yet the watch may cry "all's well "
The waves aro dark, and madly rise,
". Our limbors creak, oh, heaven be k'mdl
The vivid lightnings rend the skies.
Like demon shouts, now roars the wind.
Cheerly my messmates, cheerly ho!
. Trust, trust to Him who high doth dwell,
To guard his servants here below.
And fondly hope, all may be well.
Yes, yes, for now the tempest break's.
Lolling the winds, the storm clouds cease;
Yonder, methinks the morning v;akes.
The light is stealing o'er the sky.
- Yon golden streaks proclaim the day.
The sea birds strains, his coming tell,
Cheerly to duty then away,
TTie storm is wearlher'd, and "all's well."
Keading. Ut hll the amusements
that can possibly be imagined for a
hard-working man after his daily toil
or its intervals, there is nothing like
reading an interesting newspaper or
' book. It calls for no bodily exertion
of which he has already had enounh,
or perhaps too much. It relieves his
home of its dullness. It transports
him into a livelier and gayer, and
more diversified &i interes'.iiin scene:
and when be enjoys himself there he
may forget the evils of the present
moment fullv as much as if he were
ever so drunk, with the advuntiire ofi
finding himself the next day with the
money in his pocket, or at bast laid
out in real necessaries :;nJ without
the drunkard's misery of min i and
bod v. Nay, it accompanies him to
his next days's work; and it what he
has been reading be any thing above
the idlest and lightest, it gives him
something to think of besides the
mere mechanical drudgery of his eve
ry day occupation something he
can enjoy while absent, and look for
ward with pleasure to. If J were to
pray for a taste which should stand
me instead, under ever variety ol
f circumstances, and be a source of
happiness and cheerfulness to me
. through life, and a shield against the
ills, however things micht (jr amUs

would be a taste for reading Sir J.

for so hug a scries of years, univer

than its perfect adoptation to their

far in advance of any other publica
tion in this country, enable him to as
sure the patrons of the LADY'S
BOOK that the forthcoming volume
will more than justify its well-earned
title of the
MAGAZINE OF MAGAZINES,
for the ladies of our country.
Jt has passed into custom to assert
that dress is a matter of. trifling im
portance, but this every lady knows
to be utterly false. Taste in dress is
universally felt to be the index of a
thousand desirable qualities in wo
man, while a dt'iTicier.cy in this re
spect always injures one in the esti
mation of strangers, and even of Iter
intimate friends the beauty of Helen
and the wit of Aspasia, would hardly
commend to general favor an ac
knowledged doh'I'y in dress. Hence
the imporlancc of an accredited
CUIl'E TO THK FASHIONS.
This useful office, already filled for
fourteen years with universal accep
tance by the LADY'S BOOK, the
publisher pledges himself to discharge
in future in a style stirnassinsr all his
former efforts. The Ladies know
perfectly well tint our Magazine is
the Highest authority in Fashion.
No Lady considers herself well dress
ed who contravenes this authority,
and in our own city in New York,
Boston, t)R'Uinore,incinnatti, Louis
ville, Lexington, St. Louis, New Or
leans, Mobile, Richmond. Charleston,
Sovanah, and the other Metropolitan
Cities of the various States, the taste
ful Fashion Plates of the LADY'S
BOOK dictate the Laws uf Dress.
In future the figures will bj thrown
into tastelul groups, displaying the
graces ofdrcss to the best advantage,
and the cack grounds of the plates
will present interesting views, design
ed by First rate Artists. As a furth
er assurance of thorough excellence
in this department, tha publisher has
secured the services of MISS LES-
LIE, who will illustrate the Fashion
Plates, in her usual felicitous and
graphic style, uniting a thorough
knowledge of the subject, with a clear.
intelligible and graceful manner of
treating it. Her descriptions are
worthy of the productions of her
own glowing pencil, which drew the
earliest Fashion Plates for the Lady's
UOOK.
The Publisher's oorrespondenl in
Paris is possessed of such ample
means of obtaining the Real and
Present Paris Fashions, and of trans
mitting them in advance of all com
petitors, that the Ladies may contin
ue, as they have always done, to copy
from our Plates what has received
the sanction of Indisputable Ton, the
last, the newest, the best fashions,
iresn trom fans.
The arrangements for producing a
most brilliant and attractive series of
Mezzotint and line Engravings arc
now complete. Pictures fresh from
the easels of our Fir si rate American
Artists are now actually in the hands
of the Ablest American. Enzravers.
the subjects embracing not only the
usual popular and domestic topics, but
othors which are interwoven into the
very heartstrings of American Na
tionality, treating as they do of stir
ring incidents in the Glorious and
Heroic age of America.
- With respect to the general litera
ry and moral tono of the LADY'S
BOOK, for 1 843, it will maintain its
usual consistent character of a Do
mestic Fashionable Familu Magnzine,
While such contributors as Miss Les
lie, Miss Sedgwick, Mrs. Hall, Embu
ry,E. F. 'EhVt, Sigourney, Volney
F. Howard. Seba Smith,' A. M. F.
Annan, C. f-ee Ilentz, Parsons, and
Mrs. S. J. Hale continue their contn
butions, the beautiful and the useful,
all that charms the fancy, and nil that
mends the heart, and guides the best
affections of our nature, will continue
to adorn and dignify our pages. The
lovers of historical romance, and
those who regard our nations glort
as the prime object of our nation s
literature, will have their peculiar
tastes untuned nv the cohtrinutions
of Dr. nobert JW. Bird, the author ot
t .
The Gladiator,' 'Calavar,' &c. The
admirers of Southern scenery and
manners will recognise with pleasure,
among our correspondents, the name
of W. Gihuore Simms, the Novelist,
author of 'Guy Rivers, Yemassee,'
&c. Those who are partial to grace
ful, easy, nonchalent, gentlemanly
story telling, will always hail with
pleasure the monthly return of N. P.
Willis, the most piquant, lively and
fertile or all magazine writers.
Tha admirers of the high-toned,
moral and domestic Nouvellelte, will
recognise with pleasure, among our
contributors, tke name of T. S. Ar
thur, author of 'Six Nights with the
Washingtonians,'tc. Contributions
are also ready from the pens of Prof.
Alexander Dallas Bache, late Princi
pal of the Philadelphia High School.
Prof. John Sanderson, Author of A
Year in Paris.' Prof. John Frost.
Editor of 'The Young People's Book.'
Our limits will not give us space
enough to enumerate the names of a

Our list of foreign contributors is
enriched with thedistidguished names
of Joanna Baillie, Mary Russell Mit

Hon. Mrs. l. Norton, nnd Mrs. ft.

elite of British female authors.
The PublisherVmeans of increas

continue to maintain that proud pre

gracefulness, a portion of the work will be
Ivvuted lo an exposition and illustration t
the
PREVAILING FASHIONS.
This will bevtnctlv and exclnsively under
the care of Miss Leslie, whose severe taste
lid auipleopportunitiesof observation, will
confer upon whatever receives the stamp ot
her approbrtion, a high authority. To via
ble her to select the nearest, lates' aad
most recheiche fashion, the publisher ha
mailc arrangements t receive, by the Mta
mor, the latest issue f Paris and Loudon,
and to give the highest possible effrcl to tae
moiles selected, he has made an arrange
ment with a crlt-brated Artist, to eerapote
and modify the groap, so as to render then
highly eSrcthe. lie therefore does Btt
hesitate to announce I b it his ,
FASHION PLATES, . ' -r
will be not ouly more correctly, but will be
executed in a style of greater brilliancy am
cli-gancc than any whicn. can be found n
any u'ber publication.
Ali Leslie' Magnxiue will, a will be
perceived from what has been stated, be em
phatically, A IIQMEDOOK .
and. it will contain matter especially calce
mud for Ornament Uf,bc Centre Table, ia
trtestiug reading and conversation ia lb
Drawing Kotinvand for Ihe Family Fireside;
valuable snggcttion ia tbe Uouset eeper's
Department, and enevring illustrations ia
the style of Dream. "
Tbe embelliJiment will be in tbe Irst
style of the pictorial art.' Each number
will oatinTwi Plates; aad in tha coarse
of tbe volatile there will he preseated sever
al Superb Mrxxntiuts. of the highest possi
ble elegauce and nrn-h.
Tbe rontrr.ts of Miss Leslie's Alagssisc
will be such as to give it, in this respect, a
decided superiority. No mere revereaee
for numes, will indnce the editor to admit
any article of questionable merit, but eveiy
thing adaiitted will bejadgrd of by ita in
trinsic worth, and nothing can possibly find
a place which will aotbe calculated to pro
mote the eutertainment aud edification of
its readers. ,
. It will scarcely be credited that a Maga
zine, ucb as hs been described, can be af
forded at the low rateef on dollar and fifty
cents per anaara, when hat a angle copy is
subscribed for, but, at the risk of considera
ble loss, the publisher has determiaed to
furoita it for that sum,bciog just one half
the price of the other principal Magazines.'
Indeed, as will be seen by the subjoined li't
nf.ofTers and premiums, the publisher hat edi
tion to repay the large outlays necessary to
be made. 7 ' ,'.
