~ 15 5 S € E A Fi Y - ~NOW AND THEN. r -' A Dutch farmer up the river who deemed his own shrewdness more than an even match for that of “de tarn Yankees,” was one evening sitting before his door, with a mug of cider in his hand and a pipe in his mouth, when he was accosted by a stout looking man from the East ward, with a pack on his shoulder. “Good evening Mister—do you want to hire a man to work for you? ’ “Vy, vat ish dat to you?” replied the Dutch man, slowly taking the pipe from his mouth — “Subbose 1 does and subbose I does no’, vat den?” “Oh, nothing, nothing, replied the traveller, liesurely taking the pack from his shoulder, and helping himself to a vacant seat —“I mere ly asked for information.” “Veil, subbose I docs vant to hire, what may you ax? or, in de virsl blace, vat can you do?” ’ , t “I can do a variety of things such as plough ing, sowing, reaping, making hay, and all kinds of farming business; and then 1 can keep accounts on a pinch, and pare apples upon a winter evening, and drink cider and smoke a pipe—and all them little chores.” “You pe tampt mit your citer bipes! I can do dat mine own zelf, as well any odder man — and as vor keepin de ’counts, I vould not drust you nor any odder Yankee—l know doo much vor dat. But vat will you ax de year vor var min by de mont?” Thirteen dollars a month, with my board and washing. “Dirteen dollars! dat is too much. Bedween you and me, 1 vants to hire a man —but I vih not give zich a brice. I can kit de. besht hantsvorden dollars de mont?” “That is very low wages; 1 could have got more and staid at home?” “Ferry veil you can ko pack akain as soon as you likes—dat is notting to me. I knows vat I knows —and no tarn lankcc shall come baddy ofer me.” “Is ten dollars a month the most you wul give for a stout fellow like me?” “Yaw.” “I suppose you’ll allow me the privilege of taking a mug of cider and smoking a pipe now and then at your expense?” “Oh, yaw—yaw —I don’t minds dat. A muck of citer and a bipc ish not much now and den. You arc a pig apple poddied man, vat can aim den tollars a mont, if you can aim a benny, mit de schmoking and zo vort into de pargain. Yaccup Yahler, knows vat he ish apout —let him alone vor dat.” The bargain was struck without any furth er haggling, and the traveller was invited into the house, took supper and retired lo rest. In the morning he informed the Dutchman, that as he had proved himself so sharp at a bar gain, he (the Yankee) should require a written contract, specifying the particulars, and espe cially the drinking and smoking now and then. “Oh vor dat matter,” said the Dutchman, “1 vill kiv you de writin ferry willingly. Here, Brom, you ko and dell dat arc Squire Gobble to vetch himself here peforc no time, along mit his ink-horn.” “Stay, stay Mr. Yahler,” said the hired man, “you need’nt give yourself that trouble; 1 can draw the writing myself.” “You!” exclaimed the Dutchman —“Oh ! yaw, 1 dare zay, you can do it; but de divel drust you. Vor mine part, 1 knows potter ash dat—you dont come ovor me mit de ‘ Yankee pass.' I zay, Brom you ko and vetch dat are coot-vor-notting Shquire here, along mit his ink-horn. I’ll no trust de tarn Yankees.” Squire Gobble soon caine, and the contract was drawn up according to form. The hired man took care to have the exact words of the bargain inserted—to wit: “That ho was to have ten dollars per month for one year, and lo have the privilege of smoking and drinking cider NOW and THEN.” The Dutchman put his mark to the contract, and then requested the Squire to read it, that he might see whether it was correct. He lis tened with attention, and when tl>c Squire had concluded, ho said— “Oh yaw-—dat ish right—dat ish no more nsh I agreed to—he ish to schmoke and trink citer now and den at mine exchpensc —dat ish all right. Now, Shquire Gobble, you may ko home mit your ink-horn; and you, tarn Yan kee, may ko to vork.” “Certainly,” returned the Yankee—“but in the first place I’ll smoke a little and take a mug of cider.” “Vat? you pekin toschmoke and to trink ci ter so quick?” “Yes, I'll just smoke and drink a little citer now, and then I’ll— “ Veil, you schmoke out your pipe, pretty supple, and den you come out to vork in de fielt pehind de parn.” Having given these directions, the Dutch man, departed to his work, expecting that the hired man would follow him in the course of two or three minutes- But ho waited, and waited a long time, without seeing any thing of the Yankee. At last he got out all patience and went in a rage to the house to see what the fellow was abou*. There he found him 1 with a pipe in one hand and a mug ofcider in the other, alternately pulling an I quailing, as> ihul lUu uulj ui'ihc “Vy,you tarn Yankee rascnl!” broke forth the Dutchman, “aim you tone sehmokin vet?” “I have the privilege, you know,” said the hired man quietly, “of smoking now and then i and taking a drop of cider.” “Yaw—yaw— put you're not to schmoke; and trink all de lime. You must come out to vork behint de parn yero 1 tell you—and must come quick too; 1 shall not come arter vou; more ash vonce more, I can schwear lo you.”; With that the Dutchman flung out of his; house in a great passion, and went again to his, work. But the Yankee, to his utter astonish.: ment, did not make his appearance. After I working for some time in no very pleasant humor, he determined to post back to the house and send the rascal adrift. When he entered, he found him still engaged wit:, the pipe and mug of cider. “Oh, you coot-vor-nothing, lazy, cheatin, tarn Yankee rascal, you!” said the Dutchman, j stepping fiercely towards him and shaking his I fist in his face; “vat you, mean hey?” “Dont be in a passion,” cooly answered the Yankee. “Not pe in a bassion! hey!” said the Dutch man with increasing rage —“not pe in a bas sion! put I will pe bassion, as much as I blease —and i’ll send you adrift apout jour own piz iness, ferry quick too. I’d not keep such a fellow on my bremiscs —not I—zo you may bick up your tuds and clear yourself out pc fore I preak your tarn head.” The enraged Dutchman seized a chair, and was about suit ing the action to the word, when the Yankee reminded him of the contract. Pulling the pa per from his pocket, he said— “l have a right by virtue of this instrument, under your own hand, to smoke and drink ci der, “now and then," and so long as I go ac cording to the contract, you have no reason to find fault. “Now as you perceive, I smoke,” giving a few liesurely puffs; “andZ?iew, as you perceive, I drink cider,” lifting the mug to his mouth and taking a hearty swig. “And now I smoke again —and so on—all according to contract.” “Yaw —but you schmoke and trink citer all all de time you do nottin else put schmoke and trink citer.” “Very well returned the hired man, “I’m not bound to do more than is specified in the contract. I merely smoke and drink cider now and then-, and if now and then takes up all the time, it’s no fault of mine, you know—its strictly according to contract.” De tyvel take de contract, and you too — you tarn Yankee rascal! But I’ll let you know I vont schtand it—l’ll have it proken up.— Here, Brom, you ko and dell Schquire Gobble to vetch himself here in a twinklin, mit his ink horn, to unwrite dat rascally contract.” “There’s no use in it,” said the Yankee, “you cant unwrit.c it, nor break it up, nor get over it, nor round it.” “Brom, I say,” persisted the Dutchman— “vetch that Shquire here fortmit—l’ll zee if de same hand cant un-writc de contract vat rit it, Brom was accordingly despatched fur the Squire, who came, and after wisely consider ing the matter, was of opinion that the contract was good—that the Yankee went strictly ac cording to the letter—and that the letter and spirit were one and the same thing. “Den he has got round me arter all, hey?” exclaimed the Dutchman, with an expression of thc,deepest chagrin—“l raaly tought I as more vash a match vor any cheetin Yankee in de whole land. Vel, you Mister hired man, vat smokes and trinks citer now and den, vat shall 1 kive you to unbreak de pargain?” “Oh, as to that matter,” said the Yankee, “I’ve no occasion. I’ve got a good place here and have no desire to change it.” “But if I kive you a little smart monies, you’ll let me off, vont you? say den tollars, vich j vill pay you vor von mont’s vork.” “No friend Yhaler, I like you too well to ! quit you so easily.” “Veil den, subbose I pays you for de whole time—l shall den save your poard and lodgin, besides de sehmokin and de citer.” “Very well," said the hired man, “I wont bo hard with you—pay me the hundred dollars and I will th rough you in the board, and smok ing &c. I The money was counted out, and the Yan kee, pulling it safely into his pocket, shoulder ed his pack and departed. The next day the Dutchman was very much surprised to find his money returned, accompanied with the follow, j ing letter written from the neighboring town, which with the help of Squire Gobble, was found to read thus: . “Frieno Yhaler —[ return your money, ■ thank you for the pipe and cider—and just give I you a piece of advice, never to undertake to i get round a Yankee again. | Yours, SAM HILL.” i “Veil,” said the Dutchman, “dat does peat all! Who would have tought de tampt Yan kee was zo hones?. But I’ll take his advice, and never undertake to cheat anodder Yankee zo long as I live, py G—!” SETI Will Sue l'ou.j]| WTOW let me tell all those that are indebted to me I’l this i e the last time I will ask them for money.

UIPOKTAN i’ Lt lerary EntcrpisC —Novels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels, Reviews, and the news of the Day. IT was one of the great objects of “ Waldie’s Li brary,” “ to make good reading cheaper,” and to brmg literature to every maps door." Their object has been accomplished; we have given-to books wings, and they have flown to the uttermost parts of our.vast continent, carrying society to the secluded, occupa tion to the literary information of all. We now propose still further to reduce prices, and render the access to a literary banquet, more than .wo folds accessible; we gave and, shall continue to give in the quorto li brary, a volume weekly, for two cents a day. We now propose to give a volume in the same period for less than four cents a week, and to add as a piquant sea. soning to the dish, a few columns of the shorter lite rary matters, and a summary of the news and events of the day. We know by experience and calcuhiiions that we can go still further in the matter ol reduction, and we feel that there is still verge enough for ua to aim at oflering to an increasing literary appetite, that mental food which it craves. The Select Circulating Library, now as ever so great a favorite, will continue to make its weekly vis. its, and to be issued in a form for binding and preser vation, and its price and form will remain the. same. But we shall io the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge sheet of the size of the largest newspaper of America, but on very superior paper; filled with books of the newest and mos[ entertaming, though in their several departments of Novels,‘Tales, Voyages, Tra vcls. &.c. select in their character, joined with read ing such as should fill a weekly newspaper. By this method we hope to accomplish a great good—to enli ven 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 pocke's of the prudent, and to do it in a manner that the most aceptiml shall acknowledge, “ the power of concentration can no further go.” No book which appears in Waldre’s Quarto Library, will be publish ed tn the Omnibus, which will be an entirely distinct periodical. TERMS. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will bo issued every Friday Morning, printed on paper ol a quality superior to any other weekly sheet, arid ol the largest size. It will contain, Ist. Books, the newest and best that can be pro- I cured, equal every work lo a London duodecimo vol- 1 uinc, embracing Novels, Travels, Memoirs. &c. and only chargeable with newspaper postage. 2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices of ! took a, and information from “ the world ol letters,” of j every description. 3d. The news of the week concentrated to a small compass, but in sufficient amount to embrace a know ledge, of the principal events, political and miscella neous of Europe and America. • The price will be two dollars to clubs of five sub scribers, where the paper is for« ardeil to one address. To clubs of two individuals, five dollars, single mail subscribers, three dollars. The discount on uncur. rent money will be charged to the remitter; the low price and superior paper, absolutely I roliibhs paying a discount. On no condition will n copy ever be sent until the paymoni is received in advance. As the arrangements for the prosecution of this great literary undertaking are nil ‘made, and the pro prietor has redeemed all Ids pledges to a generous pub lic for many years, no fear of the non-fulfil! infill ol tke contract can be felt. The Oftmibus will he rej;u gularly issued; and will contain in a year, reading mat ter equal in amount to two volumes of Rec’s Ct elope, dia'for the small's'itm mentioned above. . - /Address post paid, ADAM WALDIE. 4G Carpenter St. I* nladclphia.

The place is chosen, not only for us facilities of information, litera'fy and politi cal, but as that at which the Southern States can be. un : ted upon the undertaking, with the greatest eas*, and'u ith the completes! exemption from all State or Party jealousies. Os the matter, three.fourths (say 225 pp.) shall con sist of regular Reviews, making about 9 of 25 pp each. These must, as literary works at leas', return as age. neral rule, somewhat towards that older method, now almost forgotten, and give a regular analysis of the book reviewed, if it be of any merit. In Politics and upon Occasional Topics, there maybe a greater liber., ty of deviating into mere disquisition. Lt this portion of the Review, there will be gi en,, in each No. a paper historical of the Politics and gen. eral events of the day; to serve as a Historical Regis ter. Its execution will a'ways be committed to tho strongest hands only; and its purpose, to give a unity and consistency lo the Public Doctrines of the Review such as can scarcely be so well effected in any other matter. Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also be cm. bodied in this part ol the plan, with a view of favoring in a certain degree, the more curious studies; or to re vive the knowledge of important books, forgotten in the confusion of modern learning. Writers will be led, of regular purpose to give their papers, wherever tlte subject will permit, the form of a service; in order not tn.ly that they may thus afford a completer body of information, serve, nlso, to reprint apart, for popular cir< illation; a method that will much augment both the reputation and usefulness of the Re. view. A body of Miscellanies (say some 'Opp.) will form the snbordinnte’nnd mpre atnosing part of the Journal. Its contents will he somewhat various; hut will, for the mosfr part, consist o! short Literary Notices; Biblio. graphical Articles; a ciitjcal list of New Publications, foreign and domestic, and general .Literary Intelli gence. In Communications, thr most compressed mode of .writ.ng will be every where required. Papers in which tho works do not bear a just proportion to the information conveyed or the effect intended, will bo either rejected, without scruple, or abridged, without mercy - To warrant this exaction, ll* - ttcual rate of compere ,'tcion to writers will he advanced to 2 1.2 dollars per [trimed page; a [trice that will offer fair remuneration to the talents and labor w hi. h we wish to secure. Os this revival of a Review of the South, the pur. pose is. to give once more to our region, /now emm colly needing it) an Interpreter and a defender ; the common Representative <»r <»n u.ud Mind itself among its. Such in that great ((ongrei-s ! of Opinion, where the fates of civilized nntions are now ' so largely settled, we do not possess and we have til. I ready suffered much for it. It is time to make our. I selves understood and respected there. The Journal which shall do this, must combine the general sttengh of all who, throughout the South, love the country, and are capable of d'ting it intellectcd ret vice. It mu-.t then be, not the Champion or the propagandist of lo cal opinions, but the friend of all that pursue the pit I ',, lie good. Into the vulgar methods ol Polities, deltas led by Partizan rancour, or corrupted by the imore-t, or ovt-rborno by the popular passion of lie hotiT, n mu- t not fall—From it, the pride of the Null fu r must re ceive no diminution, the fidelity of the I’nionitvs no repro&eh : It must be no vantage ground to either par', nor serve but ns an equal field, where they will only contend which shall most advance the ennse of the South, and ol that older doctrine of Jeffersonian Stn'o Rights, avowed by both parties alike, and now tfm only hope of rallying mid of rescuing the country. To vindicate, then, our peculiar Institutions; tu io. bel with argument, Ipst presently we -be forced to re bel with arms, all interference with on. domestic con dition, against the w ild rule <d lucre Chance and Cor ruption, to uphold a R< publican and Federative, t> s dis tinguished from h Democratic and Consolidating ad ministration of the National affairs, from ihe disor ders of the Central government. Where Ruforth is .hopeless, and even useless, till you have given your selves stronger and wiser local systems —to dried the public view towards a home policy of the State, capa ble, through itself, to confer upon ns the blessings of well ordered Liberty. expt eted in vain from the Fir dcral Power; from plie delusion ol Party Politics abroad to call home the w ise and brave have often raised petty Sluice into nobit and prosperous Commonwealth ; to attach men, if possible, to their Im th place, ni d convert them from wandi ring and selfish ndventnrerr, into citizens, the lovers of civilization, to rc.animate public spirit, and give it purpose, ns well as energy; to hold, over parties and Politicians, the tribunal of n . Public opinion far different from that idle and corrupt I one, of which the newspaper Press is the voice; for i these purposes, to diffuse titrough the land, sound and well considered public doctrines, with knowledge and 'Paste, their natural allies, such will be the general ; aim of that literary league, among the best talents of | the country, which has been seton foot in the present ' undertaking. Os its critical purposes, it is not necessary to speak so minutely. In general, it will of course strive to guide the popular taste towards the best sources in knowledge, and the truest models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will however, found themselves upon the <lent of his temporary r< nown, nor that of his birth on this or the other side of tho Atlantic. Tow ards the few good writers, the want of cultivation has yet permitted us have in America, it will know how to be respectful. But in Literature, as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no mail’s bad commodity be forced up on us, under patriotic pretences. Upon all that school of wntatned. Upon tho Literature of mere amusement, existence enjoyed by this literary grass, which flourishes green ly in the morning, and is cut down and flung away be. fore the nigli». Life is tco short, Art too long, and Learning grown too prolific, for people to occupy them, selves more than an instant with bad books, while sush great bodies of good ones arc at their command.
