Miscellaneous
A BACHELOR'S COMPLAINT.
They're stepping oft', the friends I know,
They're going one by one;
They're taking wives to tame their lives,
Their jovial days are done;
I can't get one old crony now
To join nie in a spree;
They're all grown grave domestic men,
They look askance on me.
I hate to see them sobcr'd down,
The merry boys and true,
I hate to hear them sneering now
At pictures fancy drew;
I care not for their married cheer,
Their puddings and their soups,
And middle aged relations round
In formidable groups.
And though their wife pel chance may have
A comely sort of face,
And at the table's upper end
Conduct herself with grace
1 hate the prim reserve that reigns,
The caution and the shape,
1 hate to see my friend grow vain
Of furniture and plate.
O! give me back the days again
When we have wander'd free,
And stole the dew from every llower,
The fruit from every tree;
The friends 1 loved they will not come
They've all deserted me;
They sit at home and toast their toes,
Look stupid and sip tea.
By Jove! they go to bed at ten,
And rise at half past nine;
And seldom do they now exceed,
A pint or so of wine;
They play at whist for sixpences,
They very rarely dance,
They never read a word of rhyme,
Nor open a romance.
They talk forsooth! of politics,
Of taxes and the crop;
And with their wives they tag about
For patterns at the shops;
They zrc skilled in butter, cheese and soap,
And learn'd in butcher's meat,
And know exactly what they pay,
And every thing they eat'
And then they all get children, too,
To squall through thick and thin,
And seem right proud to multiply
Small images of sin:
And yet you may depend upm't
Ere half their day are told,
Their sons are taller than themselves,
And they are counted old.
Alas! alas! for years gone by.
And for the friends I've lost,
When no warm feeling of the heart
Was chill'd by early frost.
If these be Hymen's vaunted joys,
I'd have him shut my door,
Unless he'll quench his torch, and live
Henceforth a bachelor.

ntosPECTus.
MI E primary object of this work will
- be, to check the rapid progress
of two alarming evils, so fatally preva
lent in our country, viz: Internper nice
and Infidelity which, like the canker
worm, are stripping the green walks oi
life of all its flowers, and leaving the
moral world a leafless desart. To do
this the more effectually, wc shall pour
tray in the most vivid colors, the oe
formily and deleterious consequences of
these most deadly evils, by interesting
moral tales, sketches, fragments, essays,
and scriptural illiMraliuns. We shall

readers, the sublime and benevolent
sentiments of the blessed gospr l of Je
sus Christ. ..to exhibit the beauties and

loveliness.. .to awaken the b. Iter feelings

Great Divinity-.. thereby leading man
kind to "fear God and keep his com
mandments.,, To accomplish these designs, wc shall
call to our aid all the eloquence of truth,
clothed in the most fascinating forms...
such as moral essays, simple or pathetic
tales, varying "from grave to gay, from
lively to serene"... poetical sketches...
didactic articles in verse.. .and sometimes
to enliven our pages, a tale of fancy... a
humorous story.. .an allegory.. .a ballad...
or, a song, will receive an insertion. In
each and in all, the great end and aim
will be, to cunvey moral and religious
sentiments, through a pleasing medium,
to the heart. ..or, in other words, to
blend "the useful with the sweet."
In order to furnish our readers with
the choicest articles both of poetry and
prose.. .to encourage genius and to foster
talent, generous premiums will be awar
ded, from time to time, for original ar
ticles furnished. The entire services

late from London, who has for some
time past been a contributor to the En
glish periodicals, are engaged for the
New-York Amulet, vv itb these claims
for patronage:, the work will be submit
ted to the consideration of a candid and
generous public. Should we succeed in
our endeavors to blend usefulness and

fUterary;
NEW SERIES of the "Philadel-
phia A I Cum and Ladies Literary
Gazette, ; enlarged and accompanied
with an engraved title page, was com
menced January 1st, 1830. The work
has been improved in many respects,
and such arrangements have been enter
ed into, as will ensure its regular receipt
by the distant subscribers with the ear
liest mails. Copperplate engravings, at
least equal to that which accompanied
the first number of the new volume, will
be published with, the new work quar
terly. The Editor is aware, that in
consequence of former mismanagement
in the publishing department, somewhat
of the confidence which every patron
should have in the regular arrival of a
literary journal, is destroyed. He has,
theretuie, transferred this department of
the napor to other and more efficient
hands, and commenced the first number
I of tli2 now volume with the first of the
'year. Mr. Jespei: Harding, the pre
j sent publisher, lias every facility for
rendering this journal, in point of ap
pearance and workmanship, to any one
of a similar character published in this
country, ami pledges himself, that, here
after, each numhershall be promptly and
carefull ymailed on the dayof publication.
The literary department of the work
will be under the same guidance as here
tofore. The original correspondence
will embrace many of the productions
of our h t and most popular writers,
with such communications from abroad,
as shall be at the command of the Edi-
tT it . I . i r
tor. e ueiieve, mat inus lar in our
career of publication, no journal in the
count!' has been more fortunate in the
number anil character of its contributors;
;and the Editor lakes this opportunity of
tendering to his personal and literary
friends, his kindliest thanks for their
voluntary and valuable aid.
As an evidence of the obligations he
is under to his cotemporaries, a few
opinions are subjoined from some of the
most respectable journals in the coun
try. They more fully and honestly
than any other source, will show the
rank which the previous work held in
; their estimation.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WORK.
We approve o the plan on which the
publication entitled the "Journal of Health"
is conducted, and believe, that it is calcula
ted to be useful, by enlightening public opi
nion on a subject of high importance to the
welfare of society. The numbers which
have appeared, evince talent, and may be
viewed as a pledge of the continued useful
ness of the publication, while conducted by
its present editors. We therefore feel &)
hesitation in recommending it to public pat
ronage. N. Chapman, M. D. -x
