TO CORRESPONDENTS.--The following articles are accepted: "The Linden," "The Song-Birds of Spring," "My Early Days," "To one who Rests," "Cupid's Arrows," "Bury me in the Evening," "To an Absent Dear One," "Some Thoughts on Training Female Teachers," "The Lily and the Star" (the two other poems by the same writer are not wanted, because we are overstocked with poetry), "Truth" (the other poem is not accepted for want of room), "A Song," "I miss thee, Love," "The Young Enthusiast," and "Love and Artifice." The following articles are declined: "Letter from Eden," "The faded bloom of Spring" (the poem is not without merit, but there are faults of rhythm and rhyme which make it inadmissible), "True Friendship" (the _acrostic_ Mr. Godey will give from his "Arm-Chair," and thanks Theresa for her compliments, which are pleasant, though her poetry is not perfect), "Sudden Death," "Exercise in the Morning," "A Long Story," "Arabella," "Sonnets," "The Old House," "Ages," "Seeing is _not_ Believing," and "Good-Bye." Editors' Table-Drawer. PICTURES FROM DANTE. FAME. "NOW must thou shake off sloth," my guide began, "For not beneath rich canopies of state, On beds of down, must fame be sought by man." * * * * * FIRMNESS. FOLLOW thou me, nor heed what others say; Be like a tower that stoopeth not its head, Bellow the tempests fiercely as they may. He in whose breast springs thought to thought succeeding, Of his intent is ever frustrated-- The force of one the other's force impeding. * * * * * WORLDLINESS. OH, the insensate labor men bestow On worldly things! How weak those reasonings are Which make them stoop their wings to earth below! One was pursuing medicine; one a course Of law; the church employed another's care; One strove to rule by sophistry or force; One was on wicked gains by fraud intent; By merchandise another; this one given To sensual joys; on ease another bent-- While I, from all these earthly cares relieved, With Beatrice ascending into heaven, Was in that sphere so gloriously received. * * * * * FEMINOLOGY. ON account of the few lucrative employments that are left to the female sex, and by consequence of the little opportunity they have of adding to their income, daughters ought to be the particular objects of a parent's care and foresight; and as an option of marriage, from which they can reasonably expect happiness, is not presented to every one who deserves it, especially in times when a licentious celibacy is in fashion with the men, a father should endeavor to enable his daughters to lead a single life with independency and decorum, even though he subtract more for that purpose from the portions of his sons than is agreeable to modern usage, or than they expect.--W. PALEY, _Moral Philosophy_.
