FOR TUK CIIROXICUC AVD SENTINEL.
TO REGULATOR.
Poor wight,! pity yort indeed,
Anil would pain relieve yo,
It you'd my counsel heed,
And implicitly believe me.
You say you'd like to know
Why sometimes looks at you,
And seem to talk as though
You thought she’d like to catch you.
You say she talks of you,
And says (so you're informed)
That you drink, smoke, andjehew,
(No wonder you’re alarmed)
You say she “ogles" you, and "winks,”
And makes you "feel all ovar so,"
And what of ycu she thinks.
You’d “(rive a heap to know."
In pity’s sake, I 11 toll you then,
Ami pul your fears at rest;
I think that of ail the silly men
Yon are the silli-esf.
So old, so ugly, (yet so vain !)
It really is surprising
That you should think to gain
A heart by canon-eye.i-ing.
At church you’ve gazed at mo
The “live long” sermon through,
Amlin inch a case may-bo
I've sent a glance ul you.
1 thought you’d surely “lake,"
But then I thought amiss ;
You've made a great mis take,
Cut have not taken a Mitt.
Since now I've told yon nil,
And relieved yon all I can,
Don't make n loner -all
But live a good old man.

THE SUICIDE.
A PATHETIC TAI.R—BY JAMES NAOIC.
When William sent n letter lo declare
That ho was wedded to a fairer fair,
Poor Lucy shrieked, “To life —lo all—adieu!"
And in the indignation of despair,
She lore the letter and her raven hair,
She heal her bosom and the post-hoy 100 ;
Then to an open window wildly flew,
And madly flung herself—into a chair.

THE ACTORS AND THE BROKERS.
“ Oh, that infernal Jacob Barker!"
Some nine years since Barnes and Huckett, (he
comedians, met is Wall street. Barnes was in n
lowering fury, for ho hail just heard of the loss of
some two or three thousand dollars, in conse
quence qf the failure of the Tradesmen’s Bank,
and other hills misfortunes of that kind. The
fallowing dialogue is authentic :
r^Barnes —Hallo, Haeketl! hole, just step into
the Union Bank with mo ; I want to got my di
vidend.
J/ackell —With pleasure. Why, wh it a great
stockholder you are becoming in tile hanks,
Barnet —Oh confound them ! 1 suppose you
have heard of my losses in the Tradesmen's 1
/lack-ell —Vos, and am very sorry for them.
Barnet— lt's all owing lo that infernal Jacob
Barker!
J/ackell —lndeed !
Barnes —Yes, I’d have that fellow hanged;
but let’s go in for my dividend.
In the comedians went together. Barnes call
ed on the Ural teller, mid told him that he wanted
his dividend. The first teller referred him to the
president, nu old gray-headed gentleman, who
stood behind the counter,
Barnet —Called for my dividend, sir,
Protithn! —For your what 1
Barnet —My dividend.
President —Beg your pardon, sir; hut what is
your name 1
Barnes—Mr. Barnes.
Upon the avowal of this fact, every‘clerk in the
Hank turned to look at the comedian, who was
unknown until the announcement of his name.
Upon which there was a general tiller throughout
the Bunk, every body being well acquainted with
“ old Barnes,” ns he was called, upon the stage.
Pt'tsident —Mr. Barnes wo do not make any
dividend for the last six months.
Barnes —No ! why, what the devil’s the rea
son !
President —Why, haven’t yon heard of the
forgery on the Bank, and the arrest of Redmond 1
Barnes —No; havo'nt heard a syllable of it;
but I want my dividend. You’re not going to
swindle mo out of that, I hope 1 Oh, that infer

President —Mr. Baiker has nothing lo do with
this institution, Mi. Barnes, mid we can’t make
any dividend until wo recover our late losses,
Barnes —Then, sir, you arc all a set of swin
dlers—beg your pardon—heaven foigive me for
gelling angry—but I believe you arc till as had ns

Barnes —Well, that’s better than the Trades

'Theparties left the Bank amid tire general lil

to Haeketl, and commenced
Barnes —Did’nt I give it lo that old lellow 1

Hallo! Youdor he goes ! Hallo! Jacob Barker!
Here, 1 want lo speak to you.
Barnes and Haeketl ran after him at the top of
their speed, ami soon overtook the wily broker.
Barker Why, Mr. Barnes, what’s the mat

Barnes—Why, matter enough. How came
you to advise me lo buy slock in the Tradesmen’s

Barnet —Well, one's failed, and the oilier has

Barker —And so you’ve lost your money !
Jiarncs —E \acll y.
Barker— Fra sorry lo hear it, hut you must

Bantes —Well, that’s cool!
Barker —Yes, Mr. Barnes, I'm always cool—
and I advise you to keep so 100. But I’m 100
busy to waste my time with vou just t.ow. I’ve

Barker went on his way. leaving poor Barnes
. almost choking with rage at the remembrance of
. his losses- He was absolutely too angry lo niter
a syllable at the moment; but as soon as he re
covered the use of his ton me, he bawled after
him at tUo top of bis voice—
" Good bye, old Shylock! the day you die
there’ll be a man hung ! Oh, that infernal Ja
cob Barker!’’

with laughter.]

CHINESE MARRIAGES.
From the Buddhists, who say that “those cou-
nnntyM- notTQWeJ the notion that
marriage goes by destiny. A certain deity
wham they style Yeu-Jaou, "the old man of the
V moon,-' unites with a silken cord (they relate] all
predestined couples, after which nothing cun pre
j-v vent Utiir ultimate union. Early marriages are
, promoted by every motive that can influence In,,
mainly, and we shall have to notice these parti-1
pulars in treating of the excessive population of,
<*>
ll*e country. Their maxim is, "there are llnec
great acta of disregard to parents, and lo die with
out progeny is the chief." The most essential
Circumstance in a rcspeclabte family alliance is,
that there should he equality of tank & station on
cither side, or that “the gates should correspond,”
as the Chinese express it. The marriage is prece
ded by a negotiation called pin?, conducted by
agents or go-lwlwecns, selected by live parents.
The aid of judicial astrology is now railed in, and
the horoscopes of the two parties compared, under
the title of th# “eight characters," which express
the year, month, day, and the hour of the nativi
ties of the intended couple. This being settled,
presents arc sent by the bridegroom in ratification
of the union ; lint the bride in ordinary esses
brings neither presents nor dower to her husband
ilotem non uxor marito, seil martins uxori assert.
The choice of a lucky day is considered of such
importance, that if the calendar (in which rill
these mailers arc noticed with the science of a
Partridge, Moore,or Sidrophcl himself) should he
unfavorable in its auguries, the ceremony is post
poned for months. These superstitions are com
mon to all limes and countries. In (lie Iphigcnia
at Aulis, one of the plays of Euripides, we have
an exact ease in point. Clylemnestra says to her j
husband, who is deceiving her about their daugh- j
ter, “On what day shall our child wed 1”—to
which he replies, “When the orb of a fortunate
moon shall arrive."
The most appropriate and felicitous tiipc for
marriage is considered to he in spring, and the first
moon of the Chinese year (February) is prefer
red. It is m this month that the poach-tiee blos
soms in China, and hence theru arc constant al
lusions toil, in connexion with marriage. These
verses, from the elegant pen of Hit William Jones,
are a paraphrase ofu literal translation which that
indefatigable scholar obtained of a passage in the
Chinese “Book of Odes."
“Sweet child nf spring, the garden’s queen.
Von peach-tree charms I lie rpving sight ;
Its fragrant leaves now richly green,
Its blossoms how divinely bright !
So softly shines the beauteous bride,
By love ami conscious virtue led,
O er her new mansion to preside,
And placid joys around her spread."
Some lime previous lo the day fixed, the bride
groom is invested ceremoniously witli a dress cup
or bonnet, and takes an additional name. The
bride, at the same lime, whoso hair had until this
hung down in long tresses, lias it turned up in
the manner of married women, and fastened with
bodkins. When the wedding day arrives, the
friends of the bridegroom send him presents in
the morning, with their congratulations. Among
the presents are live geese, which are emblemati
cal of the concord of the married slate, and some
of these birds are always carried in the procession.
The bride’s relations likewise send her gifts, con
sisting chiefly of female finery ; and her young
"sisters and friends of her own sex come and weep
with her until il is time lo leave the house of her
parents. At length, when the evening in lives,
and the stars just begin to ho visible, the bride
groom comes with an ornamented sedan, and a
cavalcade of lanterns, music, ole., to fetch home
his spouse. On their reaching his residence, the
bride is carried into the house in the arms of the
matrons who act as her friends, and Idled over »
pan of charcoal at the door; the meaning of
which ceremony is not clear, hut which may
have reference to the commencement of her house
hold duties. Hire soon after issues from the bri
dal chamber with her attendants into the great
hull, bearing the prepared arueii, or bolcl-nut, ami
invites the guests there assembled to partake of it.
Having gone through some ceremonies in compa
ny with the bridegroom, she is led hack to her
chamber, whore she is unveiled by her future hus
band. A table is then spread, and the cup of al
liance is drunk together by the young couple.
Home fortunate matron, the mother of many chil
dren, then enlors and pronounces a benediction,
ns well ns going throagb the form of laying the
nuptial bed. Meanwhile the party of friends in
the hall make merry, and when the hridgegrootn
joins thorn, they either ply him with wine or not,
according to the character and grade of the com
pany. When the hour of retirement arrives, they
escort him lo the door of the chamber in a body,
and then disperse.
On tile following day the now couple come
forth to the great hall, where they adore the house
hold gods, and pay their respects to their parents
and nearest relations. They then return to their
chamber, where they receive the visits of their
young friends; and the wholo of the tint month
is devoted ill lilt# manner to leisure and amuse
ment. On the third day after the wedding, the
bride proceeds in an ornamented sedan to visit her
parents; and at length, when the month is ex
pired, the bride’s friends semi her a particular
head-dress; an entertainment is partaken of by
the relations of both parlies, and the marriage cer
emonies are thereby concluded. On some occa
sions the bride is espoused at the house of her
own parents, with some little difference in the
forms. But these modes are detailed in the novel
of the Fortunate Union.
GEORGIA.
A correspondent of the Bikimoro Patriot,
in noticing with commendation the gallant
defence ot the citizens of Georgia, made by
the now Whig Representative Irom that
Stale, Colonel Alford, during the debate on
the Indian appropriation bill, says—
“l cannot forbear referring to the spirit, vir-
Inc, and independence with which the Suite
ho so well represents resisted Hie dictation
of a popular chief, and hie bribes of the Trea
sury. Georgia gave n decided majority of
votes against the Government candidate, nl
though every representative ofthat State, both
in the Senate and House, were champions of
Ibo Spoils candidate. Besides those formid
able odds, il is well known that nowhere was
the patronage of the Government more
slmmolnlly and prodigally employed to ad
vance the interests of the party. The So.
ci etary of State, il is known, paid two visits
to the Slate during the canvass, and, it is
confidently believed, expressly with the view
to advance the interests of Mr. Van Burcn.
But all would not do. A majority ot the
freemen of Georgia nobly and gloriously re
sisted all the corrupt influences employed lo
. seduce them. Let honor bo given where
honor is due! Let the people and the State
of Georgia be hereafter remembered at all
festivals hold in honor of virtue, liberty, and
. independence!”

SHIP BUILDING.
VVe copy the followingint resting informa

The intercourse between this port and L:v
erpool is about to receive an additional facili
ity in Ihe noble now ship Powhatan, captain
Griffith, which is now ready fat her first voy
age, Her burthen is 000 tons, nr about 2000
bales of cotton. In the several points of mod
el, materials and construction, she is declared
to bo one of the* most super! >r ships ever built
in Bahimoie, which, when wo recur to, the
many first rate vessels constructed here, is
saying much
The steam packet Cuba, of 000 tons, which
was launched on Tuesday, is likewise a spe
cimen of naval architecture which will do
honor to the mechanical skill of our builders
•She is destined for the route between New !
Orleans and Havana, and will he commanded j
by captain Hwillrr, of New Orleans, who lias
superintended her construction.
The keel of a ship of6oo tons was laid on
Wednesday at the yard of Mr. L. 11. Dunk n,
for Captain R, Fisher of Petersburg. The
same builder lias also on the stocks a steam
boat of 204 feet in length, (or the lino between
ibis city and Norfolk.
Mr. J. A. Robb is putting tip the frame of a
lire steam packet ship, for the company who in
tended to establish a line between Baltimore
and Savannah.
There are also several brig? and schooners
on the stocks at other yards.
Mr. Wheelright recently arrived in this
city (says the Now Orleans Bulletin, of the
Blh, (from Chili and Peru, via Jamaica, is on
his way lo England, with the object offorming
a company for the navigation of the Pacific

(shili on the 13th November. War had not
actually been declared between Peru and Chi

would soon he commenced. Business in both
Pern and Chili was quite dull, in consequence
of the hostile position of the two countries.
The Brandy wine and Boxer were in Callao.
It was said that Mr. Laired, our Charge in

COL. ALFORD.
Wo find in the newspapers received from nil
directions, the most ample and honorable testi
mony borne to the ability of this gentleman, and
the distinguished stand taken by him in Con
gress. Ho has more than fulfilled the expecta
tions of his friends, and fidsilicd the predictions
of itis foes. The Slate can very well spare Col.
Towns to pursue his land speculations in the
West, when his place can be supplied by such a
man us Alford. Indeed wo think it incumbent
upon Col. T. to resign his seat in the next Con
gress, having by bis recent resignation forfeited
the confidence of aft parties in the Stale. The
following is from tho correspondence of the
Charleston Mercury:
WxsniKOTOs, Fun. 10, 1887.
Triumph of our Enemies,—Let Southern men
read, refect and resolve.' —Congress dis
graced —.Meeting of the Southern .Members
Southern Convention.
You will hardly credit tho fact that the House
of Representatives, last night, rejected the Reso
lution declaring that “any member who shall here
after present a petition ftom Slaves, ought to bo
considered as regardless of the feelings of this
House, and the rights of the South, and an enc
triy lo tho Union.” Tho vole was, Yeas, 93,
Nays lt)fi. This result is the more extraordinary
inasmuch as tho Resolution merely assorts an ab
stract principle, and implies no censure upon Mr.
Adams, who bad disavowed any intention to of
fer such petition, without the assent of the House.
Well might Gen. Thompson say, that there is a
solid phalanx in that House, atraignod against the
rights and Ihe peace of tho South. The first
Resolution having been thus rejected, Mr. Pickens
rose and earnestly expressed tho hope that tho
second Resolution would not be adopted. The
second Resolution, which directs that all further
proceedings on tho subject of Mr. Adams’con
duct, shall now cease,” was then rejected by a
vote of 82 to 137. Thus the House refuses eith
er lo acquit or condemn Mr. Adams, or to lake
any older upon the subject.
f ut there the matter cannot stop ; for Mr. A
ua, 1
lias announced bis intention to lake the first op- 1
portunity that may be oflered to him, to press up
on the Speaker and the House, a decision of the (
question which he has raised, whether a petition *
•rom Slaves,comesjwitbin the order of the'Housc of 1
the 18th January. He affects to consider that Ihe 1
j right of petition, the liberty of speech, and the 1
freedom of debate, all depend upon the decision I
ot tins question. His speech yesterday, is the ( 1
most artful and incendiary appeal to (be passions J
and prejuciooe of the people es the free Stales, that
could posably have been framed. I foresee that it I
is to lie made an cllcctive instrument in the hands v
of the Abolitionists and their friends. It will be h
circulated universally in the Northern Slates, and li
without any co-extonsive reply. You will find u
that Gen. Thompson, of South Carolina, is the
principal object of Mr. Adams’ attacks, —and in
fact, the brunt of debate, on the Southern side of
the question, was borne by that gentleman. Mr. c
A. makes his strongest point by a perversion of 1
General T’s. argument; for he represents General I
T. as having maintained that a member is amen- d
able to the municipal laws of the District, for i
words or acts in the House ; —whereas, in fact, the i
position taken by Gen. Thompson is,—and he is I
supported in it by nearly all his Southern friends, I
—that the previous communion with slaves, out x
of the House, as implied in the presentation of
their petitions, in the House, may bring a member
within the power of the Grand Jury of the Dis- 1
trict. If that is not law, it \s time that it should I
he so; for it is easy to forewe that the principal c
incendiaries and fomenters ofinsurrection, will he \
sheltered under the privilege iff the House of Rep- 1
rcsentatives. Here , the battle is to he fought he- 1
tween the champions of Southern rights, and the
agents and leaders of Northern agitators and in
cendiaries. 1 was pleased, therefore, at the rebuke |
with which Mr. Alford met the suggestion of Mr. '
I.ewis Ac Gen. Ripley, that the Southern members \
had no business here, and ought to go home in a |
body, if an attempt to present the petitions of (
Slave*, should ho tolerated by the House. “No,” (
said Mr. Alford, “let us stand or fall by our posts.
The ground on which we stand belongs to the
Southern and the Slave holding region ; and this
City was founded by, and hears the name of, our 1
beloved Washington,—himself a Southern man 1
ami a Slaveholder. Here, let us meet (lie ques- I
lion, —and let this City he razed to its founda- !
lions, and the Potomac roll in torrents of blood, '
before we yield it!” 1
The question is now an abstract onet hot is
not, on that account the less important. John Q.
Adams has declared his dcterminaltion to push
the matter to a decision. If the Speaker decide
that petitions from slaves cannot be received, Mr.
Adams will appeal from the decision, and after an ’
inflammatory speech will force the House to de- [
cide it. It is not a question raised by the South;
it is a firebrand thrown into the national councils '
by the Abolitionists, and the Philo-\bolitionials 1
of the North, whoso organ and agent is this Ex-
President Adams.

IIEADDEN’S PORTRAIT OF CLINCH.
Mn. Jones: —l did myself the pleasure of call
ing at the Studio of this promising young artist,
yesterday evening, to see his portrait of General
Clinch, and I am happy to say I was never more
pleased with any specimen of the art than with
this most fortunate effort. Ido not profess to bo
the most competent judge of such matters, but in
my opinion, there will he no occasion for Mr.
Headdcu’s writing underneath the picture, “this is
the General,” to ensure his recognition by all
who know or have seen the original. In this pic
ture, the genius and skill of the artist are not
more developed in the execution of the work,
than in the admirable disposition of his subject.
The General is represented ns standing by a large
live-oak, in the act of drawing his sword, while in
the hack ground is a dense hammock, in the mar
gin of which an engagement is going on between
the whites and the Indians. The delineation of
the General’s manly features, are perfectly cor
rect, while the expression of countenance is done
to the life. On the whole it is a beautiful pic
ture, and I think would alone establish the paint
er’s reputation as an accomplished artist. I under
stand several copies have already been ordered,

Savannah Insurance and Trust Company.
The Hooks of subscription to tho Capital Stock
of this Company, chartered at tho recent session
of our Legislature, were opened yesterday at the
Exchange. Such was the press by those, anx
ious to subscribe, that the Commissioners found
it necessary at an early hour to adjourn to the
Court House, whore tho contest, for the higher
pi tees in tho assembly, soon waxed so warm, that
many, in their eagerness, were in danger of being
trampled under foot, while the loss of Hank
Checks, the mashing of new beavers, the rents in
new broadcloth coats, and sundry “ hair-breadth
’scapes i’ the imminent deadly breach” admonish
ed some to retire from tho contest slock less.
Some of the subscribers being found too inde
pendent for the Foils, a second place was opened
at a window to accommodate the steady folk, but
such was the press there that the wight so lucky
as to reach it, and to triumph in having his name
recorded, had not only to pocket the gain, hut to
leap into the window to escape a crushing.
After wondering for a time at tho great inter
est manifested to invest a little principal, (not,
as politicians do, to barter principle,) we retired
to our dinner, which was growing cold, from our
absence.
An old lady whom wo passed inquired of us,
“ what the matter was, what election was going
on.” Our answer was—“No election, ma’m—
only a pressure on (he stocks.”—“ La me," said
she, “ a pressure on the stocks. They deserve
to ho pressed in the stocks.” Wo were silent,
for wo had been contending ourself—wc could
not therefore say ditto.
After dinner, wo learned, that when the Books
wore closed, 83,186 shares had been subscribed

CenuKCTiox.—Th( official return of tho late *
Congressional election from Laurens county, by 1
some mischance it appears was inaccurate. The '
vote as stated was foi Alford 55, for Liddell, [
none. Hy this mistake, injustice has been 1
done both gentlemen. Although from tho in- r
clemency of the weather, the vote vas unusually 1
small, Col. Alford received 243 votes, and his
opponent received the fall party veto of the coun- !,
try —one vote. No weather, bad or good, keeps :l
back the Van Huron party of this country from r
the polls, It is always at its post. Come weal
or woe, No one ever fails. Wo ically think ( '
that this unit voter deserves, fix' his fidelity and e
vigilance, to bo rewarded by being converted to j!
what we deem the right side.— Jlecorder.

Those arc part of the fleet that transported
from Trinidad two thousand troops about ten
days prevjona. Business is going on at Trin
idad as usual; nor is there now, nor has there
been any appearance of the slightest! distur
bance. For a short period the Merchants suf
fered some inconvenience from their large
stores and cooperages, being occupied by the
troops as barracks, also by the detention of
the launches, that convey the sugars and mo
lasses from the estates, but since the departure
of the troops from the Casilda, business has
been again resumed with animation.
Fatal Rencontre.— The last Baltimore
Chronicle says—About seven o’clock yester
day afternoon, a quarrel took place between
two waiters at the City Hotel, which led to a
personal affray, in tho course of which one of
them, named Jolnqßaster, received a stab with
a Spanish knife, which occasioned Ills death
almost instantly. The name of the man by
whom the wound was inflicted is George
Thompson. They were both Irishmen, and
tho deceased loaves a family, who were whol
ly dependent upon him for support.
In tho Legislature of Rhode Island, during
its recent session, a member introduced reso

REMARKS.
Cotton. —In this article a very evident improve
ment has taken place, and the market is now ranch
firmer than it has been for some time. Tho demand
for fair and limey Cottons is very great, and yester
day 17 cents was refused lor a crop lot of superior
quality. Wo now quote 14 a 17 els. per lb. as the
extremes of our market.
Groceries.—'Tho bad state of tho weather, and
the difficulty of getting conveyance, causes a very
dull time among our grocery dealers. A sale was
made on the wharf of a lot of Molasses, at 41 a 43
cents —90 days.
Exchange,—Continues m demand at tho old rales
say li percent for Sight Checks on New York.
Freights.— To Savannah, $1 ; to Charleston 1
cent per lb, by Steamboats and Rati Road—and
from Savannah, at t less than customary—and from
Charleston at 1 less by Steamboats, and customary
by Kail Road.
Havre Market, Dec. 29.
Our cotton market has been without animation these
three months past, chiefly owing to a great scarcity
of money, which is prevailing over almost all Eu
rope since six months. Prices have been gradually
declining, and may be quoted now, on an average, 15
cents under the rates of August. Wo have had se
veral arrivals of the new crop, from New Orleans,
Charleston and Savannah, bat except small parcels
nothing has been sold of it. The new Louisiana cot
ton lias tints far trimed out some very inferior—some
very good. A small lot of the latter description has
been sold at 1645. The new Georgia is not much
liked, on necount of its short staple, and sometimes
mean appearance. 5t0ck,45,000 bales, against 20,-
000 last year, and several shipments more announced.
“ W c annex a Review, which will give you the
transactions ut the lust eight day's. Since it went to
press, sales have continued on the saraesoale, of 200
a 300 bales per day, and prices declining.—The spi
rit of tho market is momentarily very depressed.”
Dec. 29tb.—Our Colton market continues very
dull and the sales are at unsettled prices, but gen
erally nt some decline, and the opinion continues
strong that wo shall have still lower rates. In Sea
Islands nothing lias yet been done.
Dec. 30th—Since the 251 b, the Cotton market re
mains without demand; holders desirous to sell,
hut no buyer. 1 look for n furtlwi decline in Janua
ry, when business may bo resumed. 1

WALDIE’S LITER Aft V OMNIBUS.
Novel ami Important Literary Enlerprixe !—
Novels, Tates, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reviews, and the News of the hay.
IT was one of the great objects of “ Wal
dic’s Library,” ‘‘to make good reading
cheaper, and to bring I itcrature to every man’s
door.” This object has been (accomplished ;
we have given to books wings, and they have
flown to the uttermost parts of our vast con
■ fment, carrying society to the secluded, occtt
potion to the literary, information to all. We
now propose still further to reduce prices, and
render the access to a literary banquet, more
titan twofold accessible ; we gave, and shall
continue to give, in the quarto library, a vo
lume weekly fop two cents a day; we now
propose to give a volume, in the same period,
i for less than four cents a week, and to add, as
1 a piquant seasoning to the dish, a few columns
1 of shorter literary matters, and a summary of
the news and events of the day. We know,
hy experience and calculation, that we can go
still further in the matter of reduction, and we
feel, that there is still verge enough for us to
aim at offering to an increasing literary appe
tite, that mental food which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and
form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 4837, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also,
filled with books, of the newest and most enter
taining, though, in their several departments
of Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, &c., se
lect in their character, joined with reading,
such as usually should fill a weekly newspaper.
By this method, we hope to accomplish a great
good ; to enliven and enlighten the family
circle, and to give to it, at an expense which
shall be no consideration to any, a mass of
reading, that, in book form, would alarm the
pockets of the prudent, and to do it in a man
ner that the most sceptical shall acknowledge
“ the power of concentration can no farther
go.” No book, which appears in Waldie’s
Quarto Library, will be published in the
Omnibus, which will be an entirely distinct
periodical.
TERMS.
Wax.die's LiTEHAitr OMNinrs will be issued
every Friday morning, printed on paper of a
quality superior to any other weekly sheet,
and of the largest size. It will contain.
Ist. Rooks, the newest and the best that
can be procured, equal every week to a Lon
don duodecimo volume, embracing Novels,
Travels, Memoirs, &c., and only chargeable
with newspaper postage,
2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, no
tices ol oooks, and information from “ the
world of letters,” of every description.
sd. The news of the week, concentrated to
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
em brace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and
America. 1
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to
clubs of five subscribers, where the paper is
forwarded to one address. The clubs of two
individuals, FIVE DOLLARS , single mail
subscribers, THREE DOLLARS. The dis
count on uncurrent money will be charged to
the remitter; the low price and superior paper
absolutely prohibit paying a discount.
On no condition will a copy ever be
sent until the payment is received in advance
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledfr
es to a generous public for many years, no
ear of the non-fulfilment of the contract can
be felt. Ihe Omnibus will be regularly issued,
and will contain, in a year, reading matter
equal m amount to two volumes of Rees’ Cy
clopedia, for the small sum mentioned above
