(Out1 £ ib«mi Sable. TWICE A WEEK, is the title of a new Illustrated London Journal, devoted to entertaining literature and useful infur/JJatiun. We are told that it is, as yet, only an experiment in English literature; and so it is, but such a one that gives great promise of future success. The illustrations are of the highest class, being the production of "Phiz," and other eminent artists; and it contains, in a ldition to original works of fiction, articles upon the International Exhibition, and every current topic of interest. BMTO.N'S DNTIONAKY, Part VI.—This most useful and comprehensive Dictionary of science, literature, and art, has reached its 43rd part of the entire work, and 6th of the second volume, and fully bears out the high opinion we formed of its accuracy, and general utility as a good portable compilation of universal information. Con- siderable pains have evidently been bestowed upon its production, and we have no doubt that the enterprising publisher will, in due time, meet with the reward which he so richly deserves.—We perceive that a new and corrected edition of the abovo is in course of publication, to be issued in 96 weekly penny numbers, thus placing it within the reach of the poorest of those who desire to extend their knowledge of men and things, which they can do at a trifling cost. BEETON'S II.LUMINATKD FAMILY BIBLE.—This is a splendid illuminated edition of the Holy Scriptures, with illustrative cartoons by the most eminent European artists. The notes are compiled from various authors, and the whole style and appearance of the work is su- perior to anything we have seell produced for the price. The present is the 10th part, and it is to be concluded in 24 arts. BKETO.N'S BOOKS OF HVbIE PETS.—(Parts XVIII. and XIX.)—Tho present parts contain valuable and enter- taining articles upon dogs, with numerous illustrations, and a coloured plate of a skye terrier, French poodle, spaniels, an Italian greyhound, and a pug. The features and varieties of these useful animals are described in homely and familiar phrases, which renders the reading at once agreeahle and instructive. Boy's OWN LIBRAIIY—This magazine is well adapted to elevate the taste and to refine tho morals of the rising generation. The subject of the number now before us is "Phauleon, or the ship-boy who became the Prime Minister," and is calculated to inspire the youths of our country with a correct notion of the true path to fortune and greatness. Boy's OWN MAGAZINE.—The present number fer June contain pleasant articles upon" Boating, Rowin" and Sailing," The Ship's Carpenter," "How I won ruy Spurs," and "Sketches of the American Revolution"— the latter of which is highly interesting at the present time, when the "ast continent of America is devastated by internal warfare, and the unhappy struggle between North and South appears so evenly balanoed as to set the hopes alld fears of rival prognosticators at defiance. BKETOS'S BOOK or GAUDKN MANAGEMENT.—Gardeners and others who take delight in the management of gardens will find this a most useful companion. While adopting the form of a monthly calendar in twelve out of the fifteen parts, much of the repetition so objection- able and so tedious in that form of conveying informa- tion is obviated by the introduction of the history and cultivation of the several plants, in the proper month for propagating them, thus bringing each subject bcfure the reader in its proper season.

IN EVERY AOK AND NATION a set of fine teeth has been considered all essential element of female beauty, and dignified manliness. When perfect they exert a spell potent as that of Duessa, while all the other beauties ami attractions of the human frame combined, cannot atone for the loss of this one. No grace or feature can, however, declare its independence of the others, all are intended to aot together, and not sepa- rately, and to produce a pleasing effect good teeth, as a part of beauty's mystic enchantment, are at onco typical and essential. Left to themselves they spontaneously deteriorate, as if their Parian beauty were too delicate for the wild winds of earthKness. Those who do not trifle with nature pay regard to every gift Heaven has bestowed. So long as we do her reverence it is man's native right to be happy. Enjoyment is the universal end and rule, our ordinary and natural condition, plain and disfigurement are but the casualties, the exceptions ever tending to ;t remoter good—the voice of nature, bidding us remedy her grievances and respect her laws. In no part of tho anitaal organization will the effects of neglect prove so disastrous as in the economy of the teeth.—From A Practical Treatise on the Teth," by Messrs. Gabriel. 8.

But the cab- drivers are getting to be as great rascals as the hackmen. Look out for them. JONATHAN IN ENGLAND.—A young lady hung herself up instead of her guitar, and did not discover her mistake till she found her music-master screwing her up for Love's Young Dream."

A HEAL HERO.—A contemporary speaks of a certain major, who marched his company some twenty miles out of the direct route in order to show his august personage to some ladies. The ladies ought by all means to send him a petticoat and a red Bannel night- cap- APRIL FOOLS.—On the first of April, a dentist was called upon and requested to make all haste with his instruments to a house in street, to perform an operation. On arriving at the house, he ascertained that all they wanted of him was to set the teeth. of a hand- 3lt1t'! MATKIJIOMIAL HAPPINESS.—An old nobleman having married a young girl, was asked how he could possibly expect, at his yeare, to possess the heart of so young a female. He replied that he had rather possess a corner in her heart than the whole heart of an old woman who was tottering into the grave like himself. BEAUS. GREASE.—There is a mattress-maker in this city who has hit upon an ingenious method of stuffing his mattresses. He rubs the inner side of the ticking over with bear's grease, sews it up, and so quick is the growth of hair, caused by the application of bear's grease, that in the brief space of twenty-four hours-the mattress becomes self-stufled! FIGHTING von FAME.—Two boys going home one day, found a box in the road, and disputed who was the finder. They fought the whole afternoon without coming to a decision. At last they agreed to divide the contents equally, but on opening the box, lo, and behold! it was empty. Few wars have been more profitable than this to the parties concerned. THE DEFCF. TO P Ay—Some years since, as we were converôing with a country physician, by his own fire, a little urchin came bolting in with-" Oh! doctor, doctor, come quick darnation's to pay over at our house. Daddy's got the rheumatiz, mammy's got the tooth-ache, babby's got the measles, and Sal's got religion j Oh dear hoo hoo oo STRANGE BUT TRUE.—" I say, Jim, does you know what fellow iu town lay longest in bed last week ?" said a little urchm to another, while standing on the steps of the museum. No I doesn't Sam—does yoti, raid Jim.—" To be sure I does-it was Mons. Bihin, the Giant."—"Why, you don't say o!" replied Jim. It are fact. THE LETTER D.—" Why is the letter D like a ring?" said a young lady to her accepted lover one day. The gentleman, like the generality of his sex in such a situation, was as dull as a hammer. "Because," added the lady, with a very modest look at the picture at the othe¡' end of the room, because we can't be ived with- out it." COST or PAINT.—Some years ago there lived in Berkshire county, Mass., two physician of considerable skill and eminence. One of them used no spirituous liquors-the other drank freely; and while the one had acquired considerable property, the other remained poor. Meeting each other one day, when the former was returning from a distant town with a richly painted and well-made carriage, the latter accosted him Doc- tor, how do you manage to ride in a carriage painted in so costly a manner ? I have been in practice s long and extensively as you, and charge as much, but I can hardly live and drive the old one. "The paint on my carriage," he replied 11 didn't coat half as much as the paint on your face."

SPRING SKETCH. I 11 Have we not mentioned a lane, slightly diverging from the green of wood cote, and offering a nearer con- veyance to the Manor House ? In winter time its dellp mid rendered it hardly pas- sable, except for carts and waggons, while its pools and quagmires unfitted it for the passage of gentle feet; but in .pnn«?d summer the Shaw Lane, for thus it WM caUed?omthe little thickets that skirted ttatinter? offered a pleasant and shady walk to those who wished to avoid the dust of the high road. Partly sunk between high tufted banks pierced with occasional openings to the fields on either side, partly over-shadowed by copses that completely shut out the view, it presented sufficient variety of scenery to interest the pedestrian, though its features were not more attractive than such as are com- monly encountered in our rural districts. But what is there that is not beautiful in the season of early spring ? Even in the shadiest parts of the Lane the tufts of May waving backwards and forwards in the winds made a light perfume of their own as if they had been so many vases of incense wafted by invisible hands; the banks and ditches were tessellated with cowslips, violets, wild hyacinths, germanders, foxgloves, lilies of the vaHey, and marsh lliarygoldn, sometimes flaring in the ray with all the gorgeous brightness of a painted abbey- window, and in other places imparting a rich hue to the dim sunless works out of which they peered like so many vari-coloured and rooted eyes; butterflies spread their painted sails in the air ocean the wild flowers shook on their stalks as the bee, ceasing her murmured grace settled upon them, and commenced her honey banquet; the hedge birds twithered and quivered lovingly together, or chased one onother with a trembling eagerness, while the soaring lark poured down a gush of ecstacy trom on htgh the Cattle were lowing with tranquil enjoyment amid the butter-cupped and daisied herbage the trees pushed forth their fingered leaves, and unfolded their buds as if eager to feel and to kiss the balmy vernal air; all nature both animate and inanimate seemed to be thrilling with the enjoypient of the season." Such is a green lane sketch of wood cote from the well known pen of Horace Smith, and many more are there of a similar description in our rural <lw- Our green lanes rejoice in many varieties of nameR, "love-lane," the lover's walk," "spring-lane," prim- rose lane," and vast variety besides. They sometimes lead to neighbouring farmhouses and fields, sometimes they form the exits and the entrances of some rural seat-some gentleman's hall, some dematis-wreathed vicarage, or rose-covered suburban villa, sometimes again they are connected with other walks, or lead to the woods and mountains, or meander by some running stream to which you are led as by invisible sympathy, and some- times these same green lanes seem to spring forth with- out design or construction, a pleasant apparition which salutes you suddenly, an agreeable rukus niati-m," striking, attractive, and beautiful as any other freak of that fair goddess. For lovers these green retreats have always been held in especial favour. Highways are too public, woodwalks too secluded. But the soft, mossy, grassy, violet-shaded, primrose-covered, hawthorn-scented green lanes, border- ing on the small town or rural village, these form a love- ly and delightful solitude, not too deep nor to distant, but within the hum of human life and open at the same time to all the softer and sublimer influences of nature. Sweet blushing maiden of nineteen, with thy blue eyes kindling, entranced, as thou catchest from this sketch some dear memorial of departed dreams, hast thou not known it? How bright, how fair, in love's golden morning hour, the song of the blackbird on the topmost spray singing to his mate, the soft glimmer ofawakening stars, each struggling forth from the azure canopy of evening, and softer and brighter far that voice of love that murmurs in thine ear, that glance of tenderness that lingers so deeply, so passionately within the shadow of thy hopes All have felt it, all have known it. The spell is like moonlight, the effusion is as the glory of the setting sun. The hour harmonizes with the thought, the soft melancholy joy of love is in union with the sights and souuds that surround us. "It i ? the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is heard It Is the hour when lovers vows Seem sweet In ?.y whlsper'd word; And gentle winds and waters near Make music to the lonely ear." The poet too, how gladly he rushes from his toilsome watches, his silent, lonely meditations, to refresh his jaded thoughts, and re-illume the torch of inspiration among the hermit bye-ways which belong to towns and villages. Here, unobserved, he can chant his favorite vemefi --here the poets whom he best loved will re-appear before him in all their sublime majesty—and here, with senses half slumbering, but with thought and memory wide awake, will he evoke from the silent shadowmgs of the past dreams and images which in the passionate hours of youth robed him as with a mantle of fire. For on this very spot, perchance, long ago did one blest spirit linger beside him in the rapture of mutual affection. Beside this blossoming woodbine he, perchance, breathed the vow of first and most enduring love, and here, may- hap, he gazed within the crystal depths of her spiritual eyes, when with low, tender, tremulous voice, she blush- ingly approved that sweet vow, which, in truth, a queen might have been proud to accept. Nor will that impassioned poet return to his humble roof before he has recorded in immortal verse the seraph dreamings with whleh this spot and hour have sculptured the high domes and recesses of his imaginations, The harebell that nods gracefully in the breeze will recall pleasant fancies of those beauteous orbs which he had so often likened to the fair stars of heaven the small wild geraniums will speak in their pinky lustre of that downy check; then the pomegranate softer and fairer; the de- licate hawthorn bloom of May will present him with smiles for the purity aud fragrance of her brow and bosom; and the little retiring, deep hued, starry-eyed forget-me-not will teach him a story of constancy and de- votion, and prove to him that loveliness the most perfect may dwell in even brighter lustre amongst the calm "un- trodden ways" than in the courts of nobles, and in the palaces of kings. "0 Natnre! a' thy shows and forms To feeling, pensive hearts haveI Whether the summer kindly warms Wi' life an' light, Or winter howls in gusty storms, The lang, dark night. The muse, nae Poet ever fau'd her Till by himsel' he learnt to wander Adowu some trotting burns meander An' no think lang Or sweet to stray, and pensive ponder A heartfelt sangi" And truly poetry is love. What is poetry but the de- sire of the beautiful ? The poet walks the high hills, and pierces the deepest dells-he traverses foreign lands, or wanders half inspired amidst the fairest objects of his own-at morn or noon, or night, he still scans heaven s sweetest, deepest mysteries—the sights which live on mountains, and in summer woods, and in unobserved vales-the sounds that are heard in heaven when the lark sings her first matin or vesper song—when silver brooks mingle together, or when ocean waves fall softly, like the sound of angel's wings on the moonlit shore- what are all these but BEAUTIFUL to ear and eye,—what is he but a lover—what is his poetry but the language of adoration ? Nor is it only to the poet and the lover that our green lanes present something of a romantic as- pect. A pleasant sight it is to see the blooming milk- maid tripping onward graceful and erect, with her milk- pail on her head, her auburn curls shaking in the even- ing breeze, her cheeks ruddy with exertion, her hazel eyes glancing with health and content, and her whole appearance embodying our strongest conceptions of inno- cence and happiness. Anon, the stout plough boy comes whistling "o'er the lea," his day's work well nigh finish- ed all except tending the cattle at the home byze, with step erect, and bold, fearless forehead, the very image of vigour, mauliness, and independence'; and now, as he approaches the farm house singing that most delight- ful and spirited rural song of Scotland, which so often the poor, dear departed Ettrick Shepherd chanted by his own fireside, near St. Mary's Loch, or amongst the mountains of Ettrick, and the healthy shores of Loch Skene, When the Kye comes Hame Come alt ye jolly shepherd. That whistle through the glen, I'll tell ye of a secret That courtiers dinna ken. What ia the greatest bliss That the tongue 0' man can name ? 'Tis to woo a bonnie lassie When the kye come hame.

When the bluart bears a pearl And the daisv turns a pea, And the bonnie lticken gowan Has faulded up hi. e e, When the laverock frae the lift Draps down, and thinks nae shame To woo his bonnie lassie When the kye come hame.

In Cambria the rural population are largely endowed with the gift of music, and after their day's work is over they delight in meeting together to sing the secular and devotional melodies, peculiarly Welsh, and in their own language. In passing their chapels and through their villages it has a softening and mournful effect on the ear of an Englishman. Wales ought to be dear to Englishmen, for it was the retreat and stronghold of our brave ancestors when in- vasious drove them from their native land into these un- approachable fastnesses. It has shown great valour and decision in resisting the attacks of some of the bravest and most warlike of the Plantagenet kings; and it has given to the literature of England many very high and brilliant names. Talk of vales and green fields, why every step of mountain ground in our country may well be termed holy ground, and to' Wales more particularly does this refer. These mountains are sanctified to their country by the blood of ancient patriots. The Britons, our own forefathers, here banded together and resisted oppression even to death, nor would let the iron hoof of the invader enter their territory. Among these stubborn rocks and tudden fastnesses did the b.y? Llewelyn and bold O??,? (?lendwr combine their rude amiw, till Edward hi.- s61f, the best of the Plantagenets, bin to ??tir. be- fore their val our. To the poet they have still more electric charm, for they pervade his spint with their hues; the footeteps of freedom sound among their pre- cipices and enter into his dreams; he fancies of the forms of the ancient dead who lie sleeping in their solitary cairns and burial places, such as Towyn Capel in Angle- sey. And are not the native beauties that adorn them to him d"r,- the golden heath smiling under the breezes of heaven; the rainbow clasping the remote heights; the waterfalls; the tempest; the moon; and the rejoicing stars! There is no doubt but that Shakes- peare travelled in Wales, as may be seen from his excel- lent delineation of the Welsh character, and still more, perhaps, from his referring so minutely to the exquisite eustom of many parts of Wales wherein the relatives are wont to plant flowers on the graves of their dead—a sacred thought, as if immortality were awakening from the dust. Wales is the cradle of ancient liberty, and the most romantic and picturesque country in the world. It possesses noble mountains and lovely vales, and at this season of the year the lover of Nature may enjoy himself to his heart's content in exploring and gazing upon its varied and beautiful scenery. The love of Nature has been worthily and wisely cul- tivated by the poets in all ages. Nature is truth it is the visible seal of heaven, the motto to be examined by our own understanding-it ia a map laid before the poet's soul, beautiful in all its parts, simple and harmo- nious, yet only to be arranged and put together by the poet llimseJf. Nature, then, and the human heart and mind, which are nature also, but somewhat different from the other, inasmuch as the changes within them have been greater, have conjoinedly been the primal sources of study to thoae whose aim it was to Win immortality, and gain the Afoniimentum cere pereniuns." none bear the palm more proudly than Spencer, who so well and beautifully traced the life and character of "the gentle Una, with her milk-white lamb," and in later days let the names of Wordsworth, Cowper, Byron, Shelley, and our living poet-laureate Tennyson, be superadded-- men different in many things, but kindred and alike in genius, at least in its results. But, revenons á nos mou- tons, the green lanes of England have a constant and abiding charm. The solitary enthusiast can here conjure up day dreams of rapture and delight-the melancholy man worn with ennui and despair may in the calm peacefulness around him, the verdant hedgerows, the daisied banks, the soothing breezes, find wherewithal to assuage his woes-the worn-jaded man of the world, the wearied slave of customs, the cast-off worshipper of fashions, willho,e recall the sweet thoughts of his boy- hood when darting from the dull routine of school hours, he would seek with his comrades the mossy nests of the blackbird and thrush, and rejoice in the sunlight and azure heavens, and as the sudden rapture strikes upon his heart. the creature of cities will half dream and half believe that lie is a happy schoolboy igain But to some men, perchance, these retreats are tame and dull and unprofitable. The smirking citizen who has never wandered five hundred yards from Ludgate Hill, Holborn, or St. Paul's—the sparkling coxcomb of Belgravia or Tyburnia-the court attache, smiling for ever with servile sycophancy at the back of his lordly master—the languid roue, disgusted with pleasures which he yet wants the mauliness to discard, and the resolu- tion to renounce—such men would tremblc at the thought of utter solitude, would quote the latest cock- ney carricature on ruml pleasures, and, although they might venture of an afternoon to Greeenwich Park or Richmond Hill, would abjure with holy horror the plea- sant bye-paths of country life, conjuring up at every step ghosts, phantons, and hobgoblins, or the heroes of Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, and the author of Oliver Twist. Alas! to such we may well apply Wordsworth's trip- let :— The primrose by the river's brim, A yellow primrose to him, And it is nothing more. In the floating clouds overhead he beholds no spiritual and angelic shapes, fair and beauteous as ever graced arcadian vales- in the entrancing lights and shades of first morn, when the dew-drops shine more bright than pearls on the snowiest brow of loveliness—at noon when the sounds of a thousand bees are musical among the woodbines, and honey-suckles and sweet wild roses of June-at the evening hour, when all heaven is glorious to behold, and a myriad gorgeous illuminations spreafl over the western clouds, and mortal sense is dazzled with the splendour that blaze along the skies-these, all these, and a thousand similar entrancements pass him unheed- ed by, his thoughts, like the Roman Gladiator's, are far away," amid the glittering chariots of Regent's Park, the gay liveries of Piccadilly, even the noisy caval cades of Oxford Street, Fleet Street, and the Strand. Thy human nature is yet but in chrysalis-thc lump, the mass, the frozen chaos of life, without wings, or motion, or sensation. And better by far that such as these remain from hence, the little birds would start with horror at the apparition, the modest wild-flowers would put on their deepest blush of scorn at a creature who did not even know their names, and Nature would weep over such an alien and outcast from her shrine. He treats of this description are not few nor far between; near the mightiest cities are favourite shady walks fa- miliar to the student, the poet, and the lover. Dear, dear, for ever dear, are they all, the pleasant rural walks of England, whether among the lonely woods where th, bilberries grow meekly in the shade, or by, the margin of silver-voiced waters, and solemn rivers and sounding seas; or on high mountain brows, behold- ing distant spires, and quiet villages, and fertile vales; or among the green fields in spring, when the buttercup and ,lai.;y "re most. lovely, and the lark swells his orisons to heaven's highest doines;-dear to love and memory, and meditations for the sweetest hours of country life have lingered there, and few hearts indeed exist which do not treasure in their deepest recesses, some jiappiest and holiest record of existence garnered in times past amongst the green Janes and rural walks of old Eng- land To hearts that have so felt the well known lines of Scotland's immortal poet may strike a chord in unison:- 0 happy love I-where love like this is found ?— 0 heartfelt raptures bliss beyond compare; I ve paced much this weary mortal round; And sage experience bids me this declare- "If heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare, One cordial in this melancholy vale, 'Tis when a youthful. loving, modest pair, In other's anus breathe out the tender tale Beneath the ilk-,vhit? thorn that scents the _,Iig g.le, ZETA.

IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.—From S. Pearsall, Esq., Vicar Choral of Lichfield Cathedral.—" A lady of distinction, having pointed to me the qualities of Dr. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS, I was induced to make tliial of a box, and from this trial I am happy to give my testimonial in their favour. I found by allowing a few of the Wafem- taken in the course of the day-to gradually dissolve in the mouth, my voice became bright and clear, and the tone full and distinct. They are de- cidely the most efficacious of any I have ever used." DR. LOOOCK'S PUI.MONIC WAFERS give instant relief and a rapid cure of ashma, consumption, coughs, and all dis- orders of the breath and lungs. All throat affections are immediately relieved by allowing one occasionally to dissolve in the mouth. To singers and public speakers they are invaluable for dealing and strengthening the voice. They have a pleasant taste. Price Is. ld., 2s 2d., and lis. per box. Sold by all medicine vendors. CAUTioy.—Every box of the GENUINE medicine has the words DR.
