PoETRY.-As some of our readers well know, we have little taste, and less skill, in poetry. The business of life, rather than its blossoms-plain matters of fact, rather than flights of fancy-rough realities, rather than the rainbow hues of being, have ever been our companions-ssthe men of our counsel" :" and the subject of our thoughts. It is not, therefore to be expected, for it would be un- wise, that we should attempt to daily with the Muses-to throw the harsh discord of our voice amid the songs of those whose lips are glowing with the live coal of poetic fire. For the qualification, however, ofthose who have the leisure and inclination to con- template nature in "holiday garb, ," we com mence, this week, a series of poetical selec- tions; which will be continued, in our future numbers. if they should be acceptable.
