Through every month the power of Love ; Hard is his heart that loveth nought.

And I, who once in frolick mood,
With wild and witless hardihood,
Julia unknown, would mock the woe
Which only faithful lovers know.
When first I saw her face, I thought,-
"If aught on earth so angel bright
"Can charm the soul to soft delight,

"Hard is the heart that loveth nought."

Torn from thy circling arms afar,
To pine beneath the eastern star,

As sad my lingering eyes I turn
To see thee my departure mourn-

"Too dear thy love can ne'er be bought, "Sweet soul-I sigh; thou ne'er shall rue ; "I deem the heart that loves untrue

"More hard than his that loveth nought."

TO THE PUBLICK.

GRATEFUL for the patronage with which the labours of the editor have been rewarded and considering that the present size and form of the Polyanthos necessarily exclude from its pages pieces of any considerable length, in order to give a suitable variety to its contents, the editor and publisher is emboldened to offer to the publick the following conditions, on which it will be enlarged, should a sufficient number of subscribers appear to authorise the procedure.

Each number will contain fifty six pages octavo, printed on a handsome type and fine woven paper.

Each number will be decorated with an Engraving-The engravings will consist either of portraits of eminent and respectable American citizens; or or select views of American scenery—and both will be executed in the first style of excellence that the state of the arts in our country will permit-To each number will also

be attached a Piece of Musick, either original, or selected from some favourite composer, suitable for performance on the Piano-Forte

The price of the work on this enlarged plan will be Five Dollars a year, payable half yearly in advance.

It will perhaps be expected that we now state the sources from which our miscellany is to be supplied-As "nothing is more embarrassing to modest assurance" than to demand credit for what is in anticipation, we shall promise to produce nothing that is not in our possession.

The portraits will be accompanied with suitable biographical notices; and the other engravings, with such descriptive remarks as may be necessary to elucidate the subjects. No further assurances relating to original communications will now be given; for the editor will not hold himself responsible for the perform ance of promises made by others. If, however, moderate anticipation should prove the harbinger of reality, the Polyanthos will often teem with indigenous flowers not less grateful perhaps to the eye and the mind, than the most brilliant exoticks.

ers.

Of our selections we are able to be more explicit and positive. From the Gentleman's, the European, and the Monthly Magazines, we shall take such literary and philosophical Essays as shall be deemed interesting to all classes of readFrom that deservedly celebrated work, La Belle Assemblée, we shall publish the Tales and Romances; the "Letters on Mythology,” translated from the French of a modern admired author, and "The Mirror of Fashion, in a Series of Letters from a gentleman to a Lady of Quality."

Those Ladies and Gentlemen, who are disposed to patronise in the metropolis of NewEngland, a periodical work devoted exclusively to polite literature, are respectfully solicited to aid the editor in the prosecution of his plan.
