POETR A. Translation of a Manuscript found in a case containing a Human Skeleton : Behold this ruin ! 'twas a skull Once of ctherial spirit full ! This narrow cell was life's retreat ! This space was thought's mysterious seat ! What beauteous pictures fill'd this spot ! What dreams of pleasure, long forgot ! Nor love, n*r joy, nor hope, nor fear. Have left one trace, or record here ! Beneath this mouldering canopy, Once hung the bright and busy eye : But start not, at the dismal void ! If social love that eye employed, If with no lawless lire it gWnmed, But through the dew of kindness beamed ; That eye shall be forever bright. When stars and suns have lost their light. . Here in this silent cavern hung The ready’, swift and tuneful tongue : If falsehood's honey it disdained, And where it could not praise was chained ; If bold in virtue’s cause it spoke, Yet gentle concord never broke : ThatJLuneful tongue shall plead for thee, When death unveils eternity 1 Say, did these fingers delve the mine, Or .with its envied rubies shine ? To hew the rock, or wear the gem Can nothing now avail to them. But if the page of truth they sough!, Or comfort to the mourner brought, These hands a richer meed shall claim Than all that waits on wealth or fame. Avails it whether hare or shod These feet the path of duty trod ? If from the bowers of joy they fled To soothe affliction's humble lied,; If Grandeur's guilty bride they spflVned, And home to Virtue's lap returned ; These fetft with Angels' wings shall vie, And tread the palace of tlie sky. HE 1 NX E L Ti A N v . ~~ A TALE OP THE REVOLUTION. Ih the winter of 1777, when Lord Howe had possosSktn of Philadelphia, the situation of the Americans, who could not. follow their be loved Commander, w**t truly distressing, sub ject to thC%vcry day insults of cruel and op pressive foes. Bound to pay obeisance to laws predicated oft (he momentary power ol a proud and vindictive commander, it can be better pictured than described. To obtain the esmmon necessaries of life particularly flour, thpy had to go as far as Bristol, a distance of 1& or2o miles, and even this indulgence was not granted them, until a pass was procured from Lord Howe, as guards were placed along Vine Street, extending from Delaware to Schuylkill, forming a complete barrier ; be yond these, through the woods, extending as far as Frankfort, were stationed the pimpiet guards—thus rendering it in a maimer impos sible toyeach the Bristol Mills, unless first ob taining a pass. The Comniandcr-in-Chief of the American j forces was then encamped at the Valley. Suf fonng from cold, hunger, and the inclemency of the season, the British rolled in plenty, spent their days in feasting, their nights inj balls, riots and dissipation, while the Ameri can Chieftain wtis planning a mode for their final extirpation. A poor woman, with six small children, whose husband was at the Val- i lev Forge, had made frequent applications for a pass. Engagements rendered it impossible for her tormentors to give her one. Rendered desperate from disappointment, and the erics of her children, she started alone, without a pass, and, by good luck, eluded the guards, and reached Bristol. It will be remembered by many now living, that six brothers, by the name of. I)oale or Dowell, about this time committed many acts of heroic bravery, but more in the character of marauders than soldiers. They were men full six feet high, stout and active; a fearless in trepidity characterized their deeds in a way peculiar to themselves; and they always sue seeded in making their escape, A marked partiality to the Americans rendered them ob noxious to tlie British, and always welcome to the former, to whom they convoyed what in formation they could glean in their adven tures. ■Our adventurous female, having procured her flour in a pillow case, holding about twen ty pounds, was returning with a light heart, to her anxious and lonely babes. She had pass ed the picquet guards at Frankfort, and was just entering a wood a little this side, when a stout man stepped from behind a tree and put ting a letter in her hand requested her to read it She grasped with eager joy the letter,! bearing the characters of her husband's i writing. After a pause, he said, “ your bus- j band is well, a short tune he will he with you ; j money is a scarce article amongst us—l mean i among them-*-but on account of your bus- i band’s partiality to the cause of liberty, I am ' willing to become his banker.” Si saying, j he handed her a purse of m >nry&->-M v means are adequate, or I wouid not ho thus 1 lavish”—spuing she was about to refuse it. “You said, sir, my husband would see me I shortly ; how do you know that, which seems so impossible, and how did you know me, who never” Hush in-ifiani, « o are now approaching the B.iti.-'i r.l • :. . , v « t . j ican ‘Comma nderltas that in his head, which, like an earthquake, will shake the whole A merirancontinent, and expunge these miscre ants, but hark —take that road to the left, 1 farewell.” So saying, he departed, she gave one look but vacancy hJIcB the spot where lie stood. With slow and cautious steps she ! approached Vi tic street. Already hopes ' sprung into her heart, already her fire burned beneath her bread, when the awful word— ptuilt, struck terror to her soul. She started, and found herself in the custody of a British sentinel. “ Your pass, woman,” —“ I have ! none, sir; my childreß,” D—n the rebel crew ; why do you breed enemies to your king; let them starve; this flour is mine —off, Woman, and die with your babes.” A j groan tvas about departing, when the former messenger appeared. Ilis whole demeanor ! was changed—humble simplicity marked Ttis I <r a it—lie approached thexpftard with a seeming ! Tearfulness, and beggeultim in a suppliant * voire, To give the poor woman her flour.— { “ Fool, idiot,” exclaimed the guard, “ who are ! you ? See you yonder guard house ! If you | interfere here, thou shalt soon be its inmate, j “ May be so, sir, but won't you give the poor . woman the means of supporting her little fam !jl \- one week longer? Recollect the distance she has walked, the weight of the bag, and recollect” “ Hell and fury, sirrah ! why hid merecol-| lect! You plead in vain! Begone, or 111 seize you as-a spy.” “ You won’t give this poor woman her flour?” j “ No.” | “Then, by my country’s faith and hopes of; Freedom you shall” —and w ith a powerful arm j lie seized the guard by the throat, and hurled , him to the ground. “Run, madam, run, see j the guard house is alive, seize your flour, j pass Vine street, and you are safe.” ’Twas* done. The guard math; an attempt t<> rise, j when the stranger drew a pistol and shot him ; dead. The report of the pistol immediately | alarmed a w hole line of guards—the mffortu- j mite-(pan gazed around him w ith l'e irlPfe in- trepidity. There was one way of escape, and that was through the wood, 1 Seizing the dead man’s musket, lie started like a deer pur sued by the hounds. “Shoot, him down down with him,” was echoed from one line to another. The desperado was lost in the wood and a general search commenced. Tim ob ject of their pursuit, in the mean time, flew like lightning. The main guard was left be hind, blit the w hole pimpiet line would soon he alarmed. One course alone presented itself, and that was to mount, his horse, which was concealed among the hushes, and gallop dotpi to the Delaware; a boat was already there for him. The thought was no sooner suggested than it was carried into execution. 11 y mnuujtf ed his horse and eluding the alarmed guards hud nearly rebelled the Delaware. Here he found himself headed, his boat ta ken possession of, and him mil' hemmed in lty at least fifty exasperated soldiers. One sprung j from behind it tree, am! demanded his immedi ate surrender. “’Ti:# useless to prevaricate, rebel: you are now our prisoner, and yottr boat, which before excit 'd suspicion, is now in our possession,” “thin of a slave, slave to a king, how dare you address a freeman ? Sur render yourself. Doale never surrendered himself to any man, far less to a blinded pol troon—away or you dieand attempted to pass. Thu guard levelled his gun; but was himself levelled to his native dust: (fie ball of Doalo’s pistol had been swifter than his ow n. His case w.ls now desecrate. Behind him was the whore line ot picquet guards; on the North of him the Frankfort piequcls, and | on the left the City of Dliihulelptria, fitted with British troops. One, and only one way pre i sented itself, and that was to cross the river. Hu knew his horse: he plunged in: a shout succeeded it; and, ere ho reached distance, twenty armed boats were in swill pursuit. His noble horse dashed through the Delaware, his master spurred him on w ith dou ble interest, while the balls whistled around him. The tide was running down and when he reached the Jersey shore, lie found himself immediately opposite the old slip at Market street. On reading the shore, lie turned round, took out a pistol, and with a steady and determined aim. tired at the first boat. A ! man fell over the side, and sunk to rise no ! more, lie then disappeared in the wood. The angry, harrassed and disappointed ptirsu ! ers, gave one look, one curse, and returned to the Pennsylvania, fully believing that if he was not the devil, he was. at least one of his i principal agents. i The exploits of these men v.ore so fre quently of a like nature, that the expression j made use of by the disappointed pursuers to -1 wards this one, is by no means to be censured. ! Personal danger seemed to be no part of their j elrmeter. Plunder, but only from the British, seemed their sole aim, with an ambition, how ever futile, of creating in the minds of their enemies this belief. ' -’ At one time, they were in Philadelj )hia, dressed in tiie British cos tume, and, at another, they were relieving the distresses of their friends at Valley Forge.

TO say tlrat this is a reading ages implies a t desire for instruction, and the means to ' gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a -1 greed ; on the second, there is diversity both |of opinion and practice. We have newspa pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, painpHlelsol all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have severally their classes of readers and support ers. And yet copious as are tSese means oi intellectual supply, more are still needed. In addition review's of the day arid passing j notices of books, the people in large numbers, in all parts of our great republic crave the pos session of the books themselves, and details, beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress of discovery in art and science. But though it ; be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them. ! tance from the emporium of ing occupations which prevent personal apple I ! cation of even messages to libraries and book j sellers, are to many causes to keep people a-' i way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment : of the covered literary aliment. It is the oh j jectof the publishers of the Library to obviate j | these dillieulties, and to enable every individ ' ual. at a small cost and without any personal, i effort, to obtain for his own use aryj that of his j j lavored friends or family, valuable' tvorks, com- j ; plete.on all the branches of useful and popular I literature, and that in a form adapted to the j i comfort of tile reader. - | The charm of variety, as far as it is compati- i i lde with morality and good taste, will be held j constantly in view in conducting the Library,! to till the pages of which the current literature of Great Britain, in all its various departments ; of biography, history, travels, novels and poe j try. shall be freely put under contribution.— With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in- I tended to give entire*the work which shall be j j selected for publication. When circumstances ! authorize the measure, recourse will be had to I : the literary Stores of Continental Europe, and I translations made from French, Italian or Gcr j | man, ns the case may he. ! Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint,! j or at times a translation of entire volumes, the j ; cover will exhibit the misci Ilaneous character | : of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men ! and things, and notices of novelties in literature j ! and the arts throughout the civilized world.— A full nnd regular supply of the literary, month j ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain j j and lrelund.*in addition to home periodicals of I j a similar character, cannot fail to provide am- ; pie materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence j of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of tliu enterprize in which they i are about to embark, as well ns for the abun- I dance of the materials to give it value in the ! eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec- . lion anil arrangement are concerned, readers j will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfi ed. as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but has more than once obtained i their favorable suffrages for his past literary e Hurls.

LITERARY ENTERPRIZE!! Devoted more especially to the interest of the Ladies !^ TERMS THREE DOLLARS A YEAR, Til E LADIES COMPANION, a month ly periodical, commenced on the broad grounds of diffusing general information, far and wide—at a price, which is wifhirt the reach of all classes of the community. The plan has succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa tions of the proprietor. The first number was issued to the public, with only screnteen names of subscribers, and at this day it boasts of a cir culation nearly double- that of any monthly Magazine in America; and is daily increasing, at an average of twenty subscribers. In the pages of the Ladies Companion, every class of readers will find that which will tend to their enjoyment; tales, of every nature, pathetic and humorous; choice essays and sketches by the best writers of the day j literary and scientific intelligent; copious extracts from American and English Annuals; strictures on the drama and fine arts of all the new publications as they issue from the press; translations from the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian and Hebrew languages; original and selected poetry; original music and Engravings, with fine wood cuts and patterns of embroidery ol every description, independent of an immense variety of miscellaneous articles on every sub ject of the least interest to the most casual reader, embracing passing events ; biographi cal sketches of noted individuals ; discoveries in tlie arts and sciences, Ac. Ac. Ac.; accounts of colleges and American institutions; sketches from scenery of our own country; publip as semblies. painting, popular lectures, speakers and authors ; view of olden times of the city of gotham; Broadway Analyzed; comments on Good Society, Ac. Ac. Embellished monthly with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu sic—original and selected ; rftul Embroidery for the working of lace patterns. In short nothing required to insure interest, amusement, or the improvement of the mind in the pages of the Ladies Companion, will be wanting on the part of the proprietor, and it will be— “With sweetest flowers enrich’d, From various gardens cull’d with care.”. Articles from the pens of the first authors in either Europe or America have appeared in the pages of the Ladies Companion, during the two last volumes, without reference to expense, too numerous to name, which stamps it the cheap est and most diversified periodical issued in A tncrica Negotiations have been commenced with an additional number of popular writers, for origi nal contributions for the ensuing year, arrtohg them are— W.

It has ever been the aim of the proprietor to inculcate and promote the cans! of morality.— It cannot be denied that the periodical prCjNt exercise a decided influence upon the inoraS and intellectual character; tfnd where that, press is untrammelled by mercenary consider ations or vicious principles, its effect must be elevating and refining to a community, like that of America. With these views,everything operating injuriously to morals or religion have been studiously avoided and not allowed a place in the Magazine; for, w-e hold those men as traitors to their country,'iirho would seek to do stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion, either by open opposition or secret intrigue. In sustaining the literary character of the La : dies Companion, the proprietor will not confine himself to the mere task of pleasing, without I imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor I to present both, that which will be attractive j to superficial readers, as well as that which i will furnish subjects for reflection to the stu dent. No work in America presents its sub- I scrihers with such a inelenge of invaluable reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex tremely low price (three dollars a year;) and letters are continually being received from Eu rope, inquiring how it is possible for a periodi cal to lie issued at such a small rate, which proves its undeniable claims to the support of tire American people, particularly those of the I state of New York and adjacent ones. 1’ is not generally known to the public that each number of tlie Ladies Companion conJ tains more reading than any other Magazine in America ; and its subscription price is two dol lars less than those issued in New York. A single page contains more than two pages of the other Magazines, and some of them three. The terms are three dollars a year, payable in advance, and no subscription taken for less than one year. It is published on the loth of each month, stitched in a colored cover and for ! warded to subscribers out of the citv by the i earliest mails, strongly enveloped in double | wrappers to prevent friction.

HAVING received a number of communi cations from individuals, makjng enquir | ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by j Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope j rationjn this place, I take this method of an ! svvering them-*-! invite all who feel disposed , to purchase rights, to corr.e and see the opera j tion of the machine, and if there be any one i who says he is disappointed in his expectations, 1 1 bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.— 1 do not expect to sell a right to any one witti out their first having seen the machine; but m order to aft'ord an idea of its value, I annex the following' certificates, one of them signed by two of the most experienced brick masons in ; tlie Southern States. In my absence from Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act ; as my authorized agents, j T. L. SMITH. We having witnessed the performance of Mr T. L. Smith’s new Brick Machine, invented by i Calvin YVatorman, now in operation in this place, take pleasure in recommending it to tlie public. The fact of its performance is its best | recommendation. We timed it, and find that with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it made at the rate of two thousand three hund red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day. It requires six boys to bear off, and four to sand the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to make the above named quantity of the most beautiful brick per day. JOHN SPRINGER. DAVID F. WILSON. Macon, April 14, 1837. I have witnessed the performance of Mr T. L. Smith's new Brick-making Machine, just put into opeiation in this place: and have no hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful improvement on any other method of brick making I have ever seen, both as to the quality of the brick and expedition in making. By.re quest I timed the machine for half an hour; the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands the machine will turn out of beautiful and well tempered brick. 2,3G8 in one hour, or about 40 to the minute.

June 8 ly. toitahlisiiiiicnt of the Journal Ollier lor salei OWING to the intended removal of one of the Editors and the wish of the other to devote himself more exclusively to the duties of his profession, the undersigned offer for sale the establishment of the Nortli Carolina J«yr nal Office. The office is well found in newspaper and ornamental type, the list of sub scribers is tolerably large, and they doubt not might be greatly augmented by a little exertion. To any peTson desirous of embarking in the business it offers inducements not inferior to any in the State, but to a practical printer they know of no investment lie could make of hi* money that would yield li ini a more profitable return. HYBART & STRANGE. Fayetteville, 30th May, 1837. IT Printers will confer a favor by giving the above two or three insertions in their papers- J one ‘27.
