L'npi’BUshed Poem ey Maturin’.—Wo have, say
tho Editors of the Edinburg Literary. Journal, much
pleasure in having it in our power to p resent our rea
ders with the follwing beautiful posthumous poem by
the unfortunate Maturin author of “ Bertram,” “Mel-
moth," and other works of great genius. It has nev
er before been in print; and, through tho kindness
of an eminent literary friend in London, the origin
al, in tho poet’s own writing, is now in our posses,
sion. ‘
Gentle, constant, mild, and brave,
With graceful form an! v rnal cheek,
Bold as man in peril's hour,
Soft as woman, in Bufferings meek.
The wrathful clouds of stormy life '
Have o’er thco oft their shadows thrown ;
But thou wast a bright and peaceful star,
Sparkling through all, and sailing on.
-»
Thou art a beautiful vision, seen
Half through mist, and half by the moon ;
But the mist is gathering close and dark, c
And the lovely light is fading soon.
Thou art a flower, on whose soft cup
Tho shower of griof beats rude and chill;
But, through the dimness of its dew,
Tho tinis of heaven arc glowing still.
There is a smile in thy dark blue eye,
Whose light seems borrow’d from a tear,
And in its orb both joy and grief
Are ever mingling or ever near.
And joy so meek is akin to grief;
And grief so chasten’d half is blits;
And tho cloudless light of a sun-like eye
Ne’er boasted a blended charm like this.
There’s music in thy very sighs,
That chides the grief it half beguiles ;
And the twilight shado of thy pensive brow,
Is sweeter to me than a moon of smiles.
Thy fine.toned heart, like the harp of the winds,
Answers in sweetness each breeze that sings;
And tho storm of grief, and the breath of joy,
Draw nothing but music from its strings.
The bird that skimm’d the shoreless deep,
Saw but one ark where its rest might be ;
And the heart that has roved thro’ i desert world,
Has never met aught in the world like thee.
My spirit may soar to brighter worlds*
And rest in the wles of some happy sea;
But will it in tho brightest of worlds meet
Another spirit as pure as thee ?
From the Journal of Humanity.
DR. MUSSEY’S ADDRESS.
On the evening of Wednesday the 2d inst.
Professor Musscy of Dartmouth College de
livered a public Lecture iu the Chapel of the
Theological Seminary on “ Health as af
fected by Djiess.” His object was to show
the hurtful effects of the mode of dress so
general among the fair of our country. To
effect this, he began by giving a description
of the various parts of the body particularly
concerned in the miseries induced by the
practice which he reprobated. It is vain for
us to hope that we can communicate on paper
the impressions which his audience received
from the visible illustrations produced by the
Lecturer, but we shall attempt to present an
outline of his remarks, hoping that some of
the victims of this barbarous practice may be
inclined thereby to abandon their folly and
their sin.
Holding up a human spine or back-bone,
he spoke of it as showing the ingenu .ty of the
Author of our being. It is formed by twen
ty-four short bones, connected by a strong,
clasticsubstance anl uniting with the greatest
freedom of motion, remarkable strength; with
the most surprising flexibility, perfect steadi-
ness; so that it may be moved to a consider
able extent in all directions. The spine is a
pillar which supports the whole weight of the
trunk, head and arms, and does not suffer un
der the longest fatigue, or the greatest weight
which the limbs can bear. Jusffon the top of
this elastic pillar is placed the brain, a most
delicate organ, homogeneous in its texture, be
iitg formed of threads most curiously wrough t
and very liable to injury from sudden blows
or shocks. From the brain in a canal through
the spine, descends the spinal chord or mar-
row. This is of tho same substance ' as the
brain, being a continuation of it. From this
spinal marrow proceed the nervcs 1 which are
given off all along the spine; two at each of
the joints. These nerves confer sensibility
on all the parts which have sensation. They
are the medium of communication between
the mind and muscles. One remarkable prop,
erty which belongs to them is their capacity
to shorten themselves while they do not in
crease in volume. They are acted on by
electricity, galvanism, mechanical irritation,
and chiefly, by volition.' The action of the
nerves on the muscles was here illustrated
by a diagram. Upon the spino arc placed
the bones of the chest, viz; the ribs and
breast bones. The ribs have only one mo
tion, the upward and downward. They are
bent in two directions, so that when all are
raised up, tho chest is enlarged. This en-
largemeut of the chest is facilitated by the
elastic substance which connects the ribs with
ieach other, and each rib with the bones of
the spine. A very slight degree of pressure
entirely prevents the motion of the ribs a
pressure even so slight as that caused by a
belt* held around them between the thumb and
fore finger only. Now the object of this ac.
tion of the bones of the chest is to promote
the proper action of the organs within. Here
we find the heart and lungs, where the circu
lation of the blood commences, and where its
purification is effected. This latter process
is performed by the passage of the blood
through the lungs. Any thing which hinders
the free circulation of the blood a moment,
tends to occasion disease, and the entire sus
pension of the circulation for five minutes
causes death. Hence it is of the highest im
portance {hat this process be not retarded.
The kind Author of our bodies has protected
the great organs concerned in the circulation
and purification of the blood by a double
guard, viz; the bony cage which encloses
them, and the diaphragm, which is a large
muscle separating the chest from the abdo-1
men. . This plays up and down when th'e ribs
are motionless. But on many occasions we
want the motions of the ribs and diaphragm
both, as when we make violent efforts in run
ning, &c. If the ribs are confined by a belt
at such a time, wc cannot fill the lungs with
air, and the small quantity admitted to thorn
will be insufficient to cleanse the blood, and
hence diseases must arise. Every means
whatever which fend to abridge the quantity
of an* taken into the lungs, must sooner or
later injure the health. Individuals of slen
der chests, or in other words, who have small
lungs, are not so healthy as those who have
full chests. 'Take a girl at eight years of age
and. confine her chest by a band so that her
ribs cannot move, (and you can do this by
slightly holding a belt around her waist be
tween the thumb and finger) and you will find
when she arrives at a maturer age she will
have a small chest, and small lungs. She
is easily put out of breath; she has a flushed
face, dizziness, and coldness of the feet. In
a crowded assembly she faints, because she
cannot expand the chest freely. When the
chest is extremely corsetted, the upper part
may move by means of a joint iu that part,
but then one can inhale scarcely half a giil of
air.
Enough has been said to show that there
must be a proper proportion between the
lungs and other parts of the body. If this be
destroyed by dress or any other means, a per
son may expect enlargement of the heart, tu
bercles in the lungs, pulmonary consumption,
&c. &c. Below the diaphragm lies the
stomach, liver, alimentary canal, and other
important organs, varying in size before and
after meals. But the corset prevents this en
largement after the reception of 'food, and
produces dyspepsia, and similar disorders.—
If God designed to have a bone extending
from the breast-bone down over the stomach,
would lie not have made one for this purpose?
Some cannot understand how diseases should
be coming on for years and not be observed.
But the poison of a mad dog sometimes for
years is .slowly tainting the blood, till at length
it bursts forth in a horrible disease and brings
on a speedy death. Similar to this is the in
fluence of tobacco, and of ardent spirit. If
the corset extends downward to the lower
part of the body, it is worse than the belt, as
it prevents not only the motion of the ribs, but
also that of the diaphragm. The physician
is called to visit a young lady afflicted with
pain in her side, dizziness, cold feet, &c. He
tells her to lay aside her corset. She re
plies, she cannot—she feels as if she should
drop to pieces” without it! This shows
what her corset has done for her. It has
weakened her muscles and made her depend
ant on that tor support. It is asked, “ what
constitutes tight’ dressing?” Answer,—any
thing which impedes in any degree the mo-
subject, acco/npanied by lithographs of the
various parts of the body which he exhibited,
would be of inestimable value.

tion of any, bone, or of any muscle, or blood
vessel, or afiects the form of the body in the
least. The s)>ine and all moveable parts of
the body depends on the muscles. Every
thing which weakens the muscles weakens
the spine, and makes it crooked. When the
spine is bent by tight lacing the shoulder
blade “grows out” as the ladies say. The
Doctor is called on for a plaster to cover this.
If he is ignorant of the cau§e of the deformity
he gives one; but as this fails to effect a cure,
the young lady consults her habit-maker, and
she by stuffing and padding, pushes up the
falling shoulder, and by bandages and straps
pulls down the elevated one! These deform,
ed spines are found only among young ladies—
boys never have them. To what is this dif
ference owing ? To the effects of corsetting
on ladies.* , .
The effects of tight dressing on the com
plexion are bad. As the blood is not purified
when corsets are worn, the complexion can
not be pure and bright.
As a matter of taste, corsetting is to be
condemned. Those statues which have been
regarded os models of beautiful proportion,
do not exhibit to us the waspish waists of mod
ern belles. These then are a deformity; as
really so as the diminutive feet of the Chinese
ladies. These are only throe or four inches
in length, the toes, excepting the great toe,
being bent under the foot, and the heel being
brought downward and forward by the appli
cation of bandages in infancy. What a bar
barous practice, says some fair lady. But
this only makes them cripples, while our cus-
tom poisons the fountain of life, and brings
on disease and death. In Christian countries
greater numbers have died by the corset than
have perished in India in the waters of the
Ganges, and on the funeral pile, and before
the car of Juggernaut!
Only one word can be said in favor of this
practice; that word is, Fashion. Reason
and common sense arc against it; anatomy
and physiology are against it; humanity and
religion are against it; the goddess Fashion
alone approves it. Mothers weep when they
read how the Jewish mother could throw her
babe on the iron spikes in the flames before
the hideous image of Moloch, but these same
mothers are sacrificing their beloved daugh
tors to an idol no less cruel!
But we will not attempt to give the con
clusion of the Doctor’s remarks. In language
of deep and thrilling eloquence, he adminis-
tered a solemn rebuke to all who can trifle
with life and with the soul by indulging or en
couraging this practice. Every individual
in his .numerous auditory was fully convinced
of the folly and criminality of the custom.
Any lady who heard him who will hereafter
obey the mandates of fashion in this respect,
will, in our humble opinion, not onty expose
health and life; but also endanger her repu
tation for common sense, and will pledge her.
self to vanity, and pride, and wretchedness,
as their obsequious friend and servant.
Believing that thousands in pur land would
be rescued from destruction by seasonable
information of the kind contained in Professor
Mussey’s Lecture, we cannot but hope that at
no distant period he will give his views to the
world in some form adapted to universal cir.
culation. A plain, practical treatise on itfe

i N PRESENTING to the public a periodical, en-
tircly new in its character, it will be expected
that the publisher should describe his plan, and the
objects he hopes to accomplish.
Tnere is growing up in the United States a nume
rous population, with literary taste, who are scatter,
ed over a large space, and who, distant from the lo.
cxlitics whence books and literary information ema-
tte, feel themselves at a great loss for that mental
food which education has -fitted them to enjoy:
Books ire cheap in our principal cities, but in the
interior they cannot be procured as soon as publish,
ed, nor without considerable expense. To supply
this desideratum is tho dosign of tho present under,
taking, the chief object of which emphatically is to
iiiako reading chc.-per, and to put it in a form that
will bring it to every man’s door.
Books cannot *e sent by mail, while tho “ Select
Circulating Library" may be received at the most
distant post office in the Union in fio . fifteen to
twenty-five d iys after it is published, at tho trifling
expense of two and a half cents ; or in other words,
before a hook could tie bound in Philadelphia, our
subscribers in Ohio or Vermont may be perusing it
in their parlours. •
To elucidate the advantages of the “ Select Circu
lating Library,” such as we propose, it is only ne
cessary to compare it with % the other publications.
Take the Wuvcrly novels for example ; the Chroni.
cle of the Canon gale occupy two volumes, which are
sold at $1 25 to $1 50. 'file whole would be readi
ly contained in three numbers of this periodical, at
an expense of thirty-seven cents, postage included!
So that more than three times the quantity of litera
ry matter can be supplied for the same money by
adopting the nowspiper form. But wo consider
transmission by mail, and the early receipt of new
books, as a most distinguished feature of the publica
tion. Distant subscribers will be placed on a footing
with those nearer at hand, and will be supplied for
the r own hanie$ with equal to about fifty volumes of
t!ie common London novel size at Five Dollars
Tliis may not take fifty-two weeks to accomplish ;
for, tiiough not longer than one will elapse between
the issuing of eicfi iiu.nuer, yet, whon there is a
press of very interesting matter, or when two or
more numbers are required to contain a whole work,
tho proprietor will feel himself at liberty to publish
at shorter intervals—fifty-two numbers being the
equivalent for five dollars.
Arrangements have been made to receive from
London, an early copy of every new book printed
either in that mart of talent, or in Edinburgh, to-
gether with the periodical literature of Great Britain.
From the former we shall select the best Novele, Me
moirs, Tales, Travels, Sketches, Biography, $c. and
publish them with as much rapidity and accuracy
as on extensive printing office will admit. From the
latter, such liter.ay intelligence will occasionally be
culled as will prove interesting md entertaining to
the,lover of knowledge, and science, literature and
novelty. Good standard novels and other works
now out of print, may also occasionally bore-pro
duced in our columns.
Tho publisher confidently assures the head of’ fa
milies, that tiiey need have no dread of introducing
the “ select Circulating Library” into their domes
tic circle, as the gentleman who has undertaken the
Editorial duties, to literary tastes and habits adds
due sense of the responsibility he assumes in catering
for an extended aud moral community, and of the
consequences, detrimental or otherwise, that will fol
low the dissemination of obnoxious or wholesome
mental aliment. His situation and engagements af.
ford him peculiar advantages and facilities for . the
selection of nooks. These, with the additional
channels erected by agencies at London, Liverpool,
and Edinburgh, warrant the proprietor iu guarantee
ing a faithful execution of the literary department.
It would be supererogatory to dilate on the gene
ral advantages and conveniencies which such‘ a pub;
lic&tion presents to people of literary pursuits wher
ever located, nut more particularly to those who re
side in retired situations they are so obvious, that the
first glance cannot fail to flash conviction of its eli
gibility. ; .
TERMS. “The Select Circulating library”
will be printed weekly on a double medium sheet of
fine paper in octavo form, ' with three columns on a
page, and mailed with great care, so as to carry
safely to the distant post office.
It will be printed and finished with the same care
and accuracy as book-work. Tho whole fifty-two
numbers, will form a volume, well worth preserva
tion, of 832 pages, equal in quality to 1200 pages,
or three volumes Rees’ Cyclopedia. Each volume
will be accompanied with u Title page and Index.
The price is Five Dollars for fifty-two numbers qf
sixteen pages each—a price at which it cannot bo af-
forded unless extensively patronized. O' Payment
at all times in advance. »
Agents who procure five subscribers, shall have a
receipt in full by remitting the publisher $20, and a
proportionate compensation for a larger number.
This arrangement is made to increase the circulation
to an extent which will make it. an object to p .y
agents liberally. Clubs of five individuals may thus
procure the work for $4, by uniting their remittan
ces.
Subscribers living near agents, may pay their sub
scriptions to them; thoso otherwise situated, may
remit the amount to the subscriber at his expense.
Our arrangements are all made for the fulfilment of
our part of the contract.
Subscribers’ names should be immediately forward
ed, in order that the publisher may know how many
to print of the future number^
O’ Editors of NewspapereVho give the above
three or more conspicuous insertions, will.be entitled
to an exchange of fifty-two Numbers.

O N the first day of thia month there took place
a tremendous storm .at Tjiomaston, which is
found to have extended wide and far, apd to have
done much damage-lowing to which the itinerant
agents employed to sell tickets, could not arrive
in time, and'tho drawing of the. Union Hotel Prop
erty Lottery could not take place on the 2d. inst.—
As there is considerable Stock yet to dispose of/ the
Proprietor thinks it best to have the drawing when
the Stock is sold, or most certainly the first day of
January next ; this will give him time to sell tho
balance of the tickets.
Messrs. Soltmarsh & Overton start a fine Post
Coach Union Line, to leave Macon and Columbus,
on the first Monday in April next, and meet at the
Union Hotel in Thomaston, three times a week.—
This splendid Line* most ruse the stocks and bo a great
inducement for purchasers who ever indulge in’ Lot
teries. . J. B. BATEMAN, Proprietor.
