The following lines by Longfellow, from his
forthcoming volume of poems, is quite appro
priate at this time :
Thou, too, sail on, O ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, each sail, each rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what, a forge and what a heat,
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
Tis but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee:
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, tears,
Are all with thee—are all with thee!

Bent proprietors after the publication of the December num

have made arrangements with artists aud contributors, both
American and European, that will truly make the Magazine

press throughout the country huve spoken of it in the high
est praise. We only have space this month for the follow
ing notices, but have thousands of "the same sort left."
"This is, beyond all comparison, the most brilliant of the
three-dollar Magazines. The vigor and ability displayed
in this new Magazine, will surely give it the largest circular
tion in the United States, unless 'Graham' and 4 Godey' pay
more attention to th 3 quality of both their literary contents
and their embellisliUl -nts .-—NeaVs Saturday Gazette.
"It contains more and better engravings than any othet
Magazine, and is filled with reading matter of the very besr
kind. We have repeatedly recommended it to those ol our
readers who wish to subscribe to an able and interesting pe
riodical, as the very best one published."— Free Democrat.
"It is really a gem. By the way, if Graham and Godey
are not on the look-out, Sartain will beat them entirely from
the track."-~PA«»tz Ledger. m
"Sartain has already established his Magazine in the fron
rank of American literature and art, and if he only doet
half as well in future as he has done thus far, he will be able
to outvie all bis competitors."— Reading Gazette.

to by those whose good .vord is a "lower of
strenetli ' I he first active breath of nature that
swepi over my heart strings awoke wild but earnest
melodies which I doited down in simple notes.—
When 1 found that others thought the tune worth
learning—when I heaid my s'lains hummed about
the sacred altar? of domestic firesides, anJ saw old
men. bright women and young children, scanning
mv ballad strains, then was I made to think thai my
burning desire to pour out my soul's measme of
music was given me for a pnipose. My young
bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings met
with responsive echoes fiom honest and genuine
humanity, and the glory of Heaven seemed par
tially revealed when I discovered tnat I held power
live-- the affec ions of earth.
The snme spirit which prompted my first at
lenipls will in.irk my pieseiit one. What I have
done has found generous support; let me trust that
wnat I may do will still meet tbe kind hand of help.
I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if
I otfer them the combination of utility and amuse

not think worse of me for mixing freely with them
■u the market place of activity and labor.
I am anxious to «ive my feebie aid to the gigantic
struggle for intellectual elevation now going on,
and fling my energies and will into a cause where
my heart will zealously animate my duty.
It is too true thai there are dense clouds of igno

yet to be removed—but. there is a stirring develop
ment in "the mass" which only reoiures steady
and free communion with truth to expand itself in
tcihat enlightened and practical wisdom on which
ever rests the peifection of social and political civ-,
iiizalioti; and I believe that all who work in the
field of literature with sincere desite to save the
many by arousing genuine sympathies and educa

service, for "the people ' have sufficient perception
