POBTRY. The Belle. [Kxtrirt from Mr. Stark-• Poem, read at the late Man chester, K. 11., Fair.] The daughter sit* In the parlor, And rocks In her easy chair; She’s clad in her silks and satins, And Jewels are In her hair— She winks and giggles and simpers, And simpers and giggles and winks, And thongh she talks but little, Tls vastly more than she thinks. n*r father goes clad in his russet, And ragged and seedy at that— His coats are all ont at the elbow, C* wears a most shocking bad bat; He’s hoarding and saving his shillings, So carefully day by day, While she on her beaux and poodles, la throwing them all away* She lies a-bod in the morning, Till nearly the hour of noon; Then comes down snapping and snarling. Because t>be was called so soon; Hei hair Is still In the papers, Her cheeks still dabbed with paint— Remains of her last night’s blushes, Before she Intended to fa'nt. She doats upon men unshaven, And men with “the flowing hair,” bile’s eloquent over mousuches, They give such a foreign air. She talks of Italian music, And falls In love with the moon, And though but a mouse should meet her, She sinks away In a swoon. Iler feet are so very little, Her hands are so very white, Her Jewels are so very heavy, Aud her head so very light. Her color Is made of cosmetics, Though this she will never own. Her body’s made mostly of cotton. Her heart Is made wholly of stone. She falls in love with a fellow, Who swells with a foreign air, He marries her for her money, She marries him for his hair; One of the very best mathes— Both are well mated for life, She's got a fool for a husband, He’s got a fool for a wife. “Selling” fhe Captain* General or Cuba.— The Detroit Free Press states that Major Kelly, one of the “cutest” of the Cuban patriots, taken in arms in the late invasion ol the island, determined to make his way out of prison “on his own hook,” and by the exercise of his own wits. He wrote divers off-hand familiar letters, to numerous eminent politicians of the United States, and placing them where he knew they would be overhauled by the Spanish police. The bait took, and Major Kelly, the intimate friend of Mr. Secretary Webster, was forthwith released and sent home. The Major’s epistle to Mr. Webster, we here subjoin : Castle de la Punta, ) Havana, Aug. 20, 1851. ( His Exctlleny , Dax’l Webster, Sec'v of Slate, U. S., Washington. Dan, Old Boy,— You will be surprised I doubt not, on receiving a letter from an old friend, and one whom you have so often befriended, from this place; but, as the old lady said, when she cracked her tea-pot, what’s did, is did, and what’s the use of kicking up a deuced fuss general ly about it? When, in September, of last year, I partook of your chowder, in Marshfield, I little anticipated that I should be placed to day in my present position. But, ’tis all destiny. Who can tell to-day what is going to befall him to-morrow ? Had I taken your advice, and accepted the mission to the Barbary States, things would have been better. I, at least, would not be so barbarously treated as I am in this prison, where they have not left the first sign on my head or face, of hair or whiskers. Concha, lam inclined to think, is on the whole, a good fellow, and I think if you were to whis per a word to the Spanish Minister in Washington, Calderon de la Barca, in my favor, there may be still hopes of my re lease. Remember me to our mutual friend, the Hon. C. M. Conrad, Secretary of War. ours, as ever, J. A. KELLY Colonization.— Within the last thirty two years the American Colonization So ciety has colonized about ten thousand free colored persons in Liberia. A treaty of amity has been formed witli fifty Afri can nations. About eight hundred miles ot coast, extending from fifty to one hun dred miles into the country, have been purchased and redeemed from barbarism; nearly one-half has been acquired by treaty and purchase within the last two years, besides the acquisition of a large and valuable eastern territory, during the past year. Colonization has, thereby, peacefully and permanently ejected the African and Brazilian slave trade from over seventeen hundred miles of African coast; from the entire of Liberia; and by treaty stipulations from over nine hun dred other miles of coast—-a triumph, whioh England, France and the United States have not been able to accomplish, by their united naval forces in the last onK ‘ • * n a^ition > niore than native Africans have been brought under the benign influence of civil and Christian institutions. How to K«r Dav.-Dow, Jr., says: “To keep dry, always wear an oil-cloth eoat, carry a good umbrella, and practice rum-drinking The first iwo articles are only essential in protecting the outside from superabundant moisture, but the lat keeps the inside as dry as a stovepipe. I never knew a drinker, but he was eter *“% dry, and keeps himself dry through the day. It i s not to be wondered at, for how can he be otherwise than dry when he keeps the blue blaze eternally burning in his bosom by pouring distilled destruc tion down his throat forever. In fact, my friends, the more he drinks, the dryer he grows. On his death-bed he cries for more drink for the last time, and then he Es out of the world as thirsty as if he l«ved on cod-fish all the day, 0 f his Mr. Weed, in his letters from France says: “ France, with her forty millions of inhabitants, does not furnish as many pas sengers for the railways, steamboats, dili gences, &c., as the State of New York with her three millions.” It is now thought, that the Whig Na tional Convention will meet June 17th.

OF THE THIRTY-NINTH VOLUME GREA T REDUCTION IN PRICE TIIE Knickerbocker Magazine, EDITED HY LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK, will commence its thirty-ninth volume with the number for January, 1852. The subscription price of the Knicker bocker will be reduced from five dollars, to three dollars, on and after the first day of J muary next. The change is made fora reason precise ly the reverse of that which ordinatily in duces a pnblslicr to lower the rate, of his Magazine. This is usually done because the publication cannot be sustained at its original rate, which is consequently reduc’d with the hope of extending its circulation. This is followed invariably by a deteriora lion of the work, in all its departments, and in everything relating to it. Indeed itmay be laid down as a rule, in the con ducting of a Magazine, that if the original price will not remunerate for it, publica tion, it is only going from bad to worse to to reduce that price. The Knickerbocker at the present time enjoys a larger subscription list, and pays better, than it ever did before: and of the twenty years of its existence, the past year has been the most prosperous. The Publisher is now in a situation, in consequence of the condition of the Mag azine, to oflei it at Three Dollars per annum. W’dih this reduction there will be no change in its form, size, character or qual ity, except a change always continued for the better; for it will improve on the past maintaining the position so long awa.ded to <t.
