BLISHED ON THE FIRST OF EVERY MONTH. Tus periodical is buth literary and religion +, and t« particularly designed to nid the progress of education and Ch. jauity in the east. It has been now established above ten years, and from the extensive cirenlation ithus obtained, must be too well known to require a lengthened stntemest of its object, or the principles on which it is conducted. Tt wns originally projected solely with the view of duing good, by opening a channel for usefal communications of every description connected with religion and morals, aud the general improvement of India, untinctured by party spirit, and unatained by selfish exclueiveness, It is, in fact, so Cutholic ia ite principles that the Editors venture to aasert, that there is not a Christion in India vhat need be conscientiously precluded from rallying round them with his co-operation and support. ‘To render ita utility universal, it hike studiously and constantly avoided all discussion of minor distinctions among Christians—of questions reepecting ‘* Church and State”? Church and Dissent,’” and of all peculiarities whatsoever in matters of Church Government, and the administration of Christian ordinances. It has always enden- voured ta da justice to good plins and good men,in whatever denomination of Chu tinns the former may have originated, or to whatever claas the latter mny have be- yonged.

PERRY'S MEDICATED MEXICAN BALM. A lovely fuir ‘tis said. whose hand to gain, ‘Adiniring youths long sought, but sought in vain; Was so fastidious in her choice that none Who proferr'd love, her approbation won ; At length, a bolder swain preferr’d his claim, Urged by the ardor of his new-felt flame. By all the Gruces, and the Nymphs he swore, By all the fabled goddesses of yaro, ‘That ne'er did Beauty's charms so please his eye, “ As thine, fair maid,” the am'rous youth did ery. She heard his suit with doubtful look, and broke The silence with, “ Sir! surely, you're in joke 5 “ But ns 1 am candid, tho’ the folks do say, « Pastidious fancies lead my heart astray, “Til speak my mind, for truth in such a case, “ Must o'er a woman's vanity take place. “ Your face and tigure, both will uit my taste, “ The one ig classical, the other’s chaste, “ But, pardon me, your hair's not quite the thing, « That lovers dream of—youthful poets sing. “ Tvow, I ne'er could bring my mind to wed, “ Aman with grisly bristles on his head.” Abashed, our hero fied, he knew not where, itis dreams of Pleasure vanished in the air; Oppress'd with sorrow, tho’ not sunk at heart, H He vowed he'd strive to win her love by art. And as he cogitated how he'd try, My well known Sign-board caught hit wand'ring eye. Hither he came—his wants were soon supplied, With Mexican Baim! whose virtue oft wus tried. Such was its power, that ere a month had fled, : A wond’fous chunge was wrought upou his head; A softer down succeeds the bristly hair ; And soon in curls, it wantons in the air. “ None but the brave,” "tis suid, “ deserve the fair !” And soon again our Hero urg'd his prayer, f Nor urg’d in vain ; bis suit at length he won, ‘And Hymen’s bonds, the happy pair made one. Suck are the virtues of the Mexican Baum, Kind friends and patrons ; and were you to please Your fancy once, you'd surely likeit more | * |. Than Rowland’s Oils, or Smyth and Nephew's Store ; My wish is but to add unto your ense, ‘And my ambition, every one to please. a THOMAS PERRY, No. 12, Waterloo Street, Calcutta. :
