A CAPITAL STORY.—The Saturday Courier has been publishing, for the past few numbers, a story of more than usual excellence, called “Linda,” by Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, whose stories heretofore in this admirable family paper have made so much stir among readers of light literature. Her story of the “Mob-Cap” ran through several editions, and is still praised as one of the most effective articles that ever appeared in a periodical. Mr. M‘Makin will find that “Linda” is destined to make a fresh demand for articles from the able pen of this lady, and we are sure he will receive the thanks of his hundred thousand readers for his liberality in thus catering to their refined taste. * * * * * Our correspondent, Richard Coe, Jr., is about to publish a volume of his beautiful poems—a neat edition for the centre-table at the price of one dollar per volume. His address is 33 Church Alley, Philadelphia, where any of his friends will be supplied. * * * * * NO JOY I’LL SEE BUT IN THOSE SMILES. WRITTEN BY JOSEPH A. NUNES. COMPOSED BY JAMES BELLAK. Published by permission of Mr. E. L. Walker, No. 160 Chestnut Street. [Illustration: musical score] I’ll think of thee, that thought alone Can never from my mem’ry flee, In ev’ry breeze I’ll find a tone That whispers nought but love and [Illustration: musical score] thee And ev’ry sound that greets my ear, And ev’ry object that I see, Will be to me more sweet, more dear, When mingled with the thought of thee. Should fortune smile, and hope be bright, And from the world be nought to fear, Oh! what can add to that delight But the one thought that thou art near. Then pleasure, with its thousand smiles, Will vainly strive this heart to free: No joy I’ll see but in those smiles, No rapture feel away from thee. And when existence’s span is run And death impatient waits for me, My soul, as to its earthly sun, Will turn a lingering look on thee: E’en when the last sad scene of life Shall mingle with the shades of death, My spirit, in its latest strife, Will bless thee with its parting breath. * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: Table of Contents has been added for reader convenience.
