Her lines on Angling, which follow, though more particularly designed to instruct her own sex, nevertheless furnish some gentle hints to gentlemen who are fond of this amusement.

ANGLING MATRIMONIAL.

"Hi jaculo pisces, illi capiuntur ab hamis."

Oh, if a lover you would catch,

And don't know how to do it, ma'am;
You need, besides a proper hook,

A proper bait fixed to it, ma'am.

For some admire a handsome shape,
Others a lovely face, ma'am ;
So if you'd catch these, you must paint,
If those, you'll have to lace, ma'am.
For some you'll have to play and sing,
Since they are fond of music, ma'am;
For others you must dance and waltz,
Though it be making you sick, ma'am.
For know that he who'd catch a fish,
Must bait his hook aright, ma'am ;
Or else the fish, you may be sure,
Will never, never bite, ma'am.

CHRISTINE.

We have received from a fair correspondent, who signs herself Emilia, a beautiful air to the Serenade, from the pen of Christine, which appeared in our last. We were anxious to have written an accompaniment to the air, and to have published it in the present number. But our printer, unmelodious man, has, we are sorry to say, no music type. Indeed, except probably a few crotchets in his head, which he refuses to make public, he has not a note in his possession.

Claverack, or his son, whose literary taste is very much assimilated to his father's, will probably furnish us with another of his spicy articles for our next number. Leaving our readers to make their own commentaries on the various articles herein contained, we bid them adieu till November loads us with his literary treasures, which we shall early present for their entertainment.
