Mr. Britton says the sketches made
for the projected picture, occupied 2,000 sheets of paper!
[3] Mimic rocks and stones may be wrought into sublime effect;
and have often been introduced into landscape-gardening with
striking success.

TO ----
(_For the Mirror._)
Yes! tis to thee love
I waken the string:
Yes! 'tis to thee love
I only would sing;
And in thine eyes love,
I ask but to shine;
With softest affection,
As thou dost in mine.
Dearest and kindest,
I ask but to be
Cherished by thee love,
As thou art by me;
Then shall our moments
Glide sunnily o'er.
And blest with each other,
We sigh for no more.
Wife of thy bosom,
By thee loved alone,
No dearer blessing
This proud world can own:
All its attractions
Delighted I'll fly,
For thee love, to live,
And with thee love to die!

HIEROGLYPHICAL CHARACTERS.
(_For the Mirror._)
Hieroglyphics consist in certain symbols which are made to stand for
invisible objects, on account of some analogy which such symbols were
supposed to bear to the objects.
