POETRY. DRINKING SONG. BY MRS. SIGOURNEY. Drink, friends, drink deep—the noon is nigh ; Drink, and forget your care— The sultry summer suns are high— Drink, and your strength repair : The deer, that Horn the hunter flies, The warrior, red with slaughter, The camel, ’neath the burning skies, Quaff deep the crystal water ! Our father, Sun, the example giver, Our mother, Earth, also ; He, jocund, drinks above the clouds, She, blushing, drinks below, Pledge high, pledge long, the friends you love, To absent wife and daughter Or blooming maid who rules your heart, Drink deep—but only u atcr! ' [N. Y. Mirror. ABSENT FRIENDS. When pleasure lags at music’s strain, And mirth assails the heart in vain : To pensive thoughts the bosom bends, And finds a theme in Absent Friends. Remembrance then unfolds its store ; Affection's tales oR told before, And fancy magic vision lends, To catch a view of Absent Friends. Pale apprehension starts with fear, Some sad vicissitude to hear; And hope with causeless terror blends, For fate unknown of Absent friends. The parent fond, the duteous child. The feeling heart by love beguil'd, Each to kind heaven a boon commends, That heaven be kind to Absent friends. Constrain’d thro’ distant climes to roam, Far from the sympathies of home ; My soul its fervent wishes sends, And circles round its Absent Friends Rut joy shall spread a brighter train, And mirth indulge its freest strain, The happy day which absence ends, And gives me back, my much lured Friends. ill 1 S < E E E .1 V V . THE BRIDAL EVE. A TALE OF 803T0.V IN Till’ OLDEN TIMES. In a retired avenue in the rear of Washington st. and near the ever to he remembered “Old South,” stands a ven erable pile, surmounted by the uncouth figure of a grim son ol’the forest,yet known as the Province house. This building i was once the gay head quarters of the commander in chief of England’s colo nial troops. Yes, that antique relic of a 1 departed age where now the busy and important “cit” resorts to enjoy his “Havana,” and recruit his temporal man with life’s luxuries, was in olden times, the proud court of a king's military am bassador. Some six months after the incidents preceding, were seated round a table in this mansion a few gav young oilicers of the English army. Mirth and hilarity seemed to reign triumphant. Among the number not the least conspicious, sat Lord B ; and if the “human face divine” be an index to the heart, he would have been pronounced the happiest one of the group. “My Lord of B said young Col. G., a conceited and good humored j officer, “what a lucky dog are you ! And! then the mortification and envy you have caused a score of others by your good fortune. Pon honor, 1 was just on the point of attempting an assault on her my self A lovely wife—and, what is better, a plum by the way of settlement on your marriage—a fine prospect for a king’s of ficer in this cursed Yankee land. 1 wish to heaven there was another wealthy and beautiful loyal nymph hereabouts. 1 would make her happy, as 1 live, for we have nothing else to lay siege to at pres ent.” A shout of merriment followed the colonel’s confident speech. “My gallant colonel,” said a more grave major, “I fear you will never suc ceed in your feminine sieges—You al ways set the lucre foremost in the articles of war. Believe me you will never gain a damsel’s heart by courting her daddy’s breeches pocket.” “Do'ut be too hard, my good major : my mind wanders to that which is most needful. These Yankee sharpers can drain British purses, even though they excel m nothing. But let us drop this, and drink to the health of the fair Miss H., and our good Lord Arthur, not for getting the approaching festivity, which, thank heaven, will be one bright *pot in -our dark career.” n, We leave this merry company, and re turn to the quarters of Lord B . Seated on a couch in this apartment is the youthful messenger, Eugene. Rgit how changed since the eventful 'night of his arrival. A few months of deep corrod ing anguish hadmadc a fearful contrast in his fair form. The jolly and short cur ling hair is thrown aside, and from the fair brow flow luxuriant locks of beauti fully tinged auburn. The flashing, fear ful eyes, the flushed cheeks, the firmly lips, and heaving bosom, reveal to Bthe reader the ardent, devoted Lady Julia. * Near at hand stands, regarding her with respectful look, the valet Ralph. After a x>ng and agonizing indulgence in her „ *ro«, the lady raised her head and spoke. | “For this painful confirmation of my sus picions I thank thee, my kind Ralph. 1 Now that his falsehood is truly unmasked —now that I feel he has filled i«*y cup of ! bitterness to the brim — 1 will witness | with my own eyes’ these blasting events jto my young hopes. O, Ralph, what ! have I not sacrificed for this man ?—this ! base hearted monster! Have 1 not suf -1 sered exile from my native land, and pas sed even the bounds of my sex to behold bis smile—to breathe the same air that is charmed by his presence ? Have I not sacrificed home, friends, comfort, perhaps my own proud name, for this false wretch 1” » “True, madam. But cannot your feigned report of loss of fortune, and your great distance—the long period since his leaving England—be some atonement for master’s untruth?” “No Ralph, this will not atone for wrongs like mine. It was but a foolish romantic whim of mine, to witness its efleet on him: for this I bore to him ;ny own letters, —and oh ! the love and devo tion he showered on my thirsty spirit on that night of our meeting. Little knew lie who listened and feasted on every word. Had the fond delusion of that night exis ted unbroken for one short week, how gladly would I have thrown off all dis guise, and surrendered myself, my fortune, and my whole soul to him ! But to be thus cast off, slighted and forgotten ! Shall the last of my proud, and ancient line be thrown aside by him who once thought, lived, and breathed but in my presence ; and all this for an acquaintance of an hour!—No, Ralph, I have fed upon bis bounty like a dog, and of late, bis very brute lias had more smiles and kind looks than the neglected and despised I Eugene. But 1 have passed the bound 'of maiden honor—from shame and an j insulted spirit there is no retreat. There I yet remains revenge ! Revenge, such as ! woman’s heart can only dream! My kind Ralph, you have been faithful to me: he silent yet, and leave.” Another Hood of scalding tears burst j from her wild and flashing eyes, and site , bent her aching head upon the couch in silent agony. Bright and joyous was the festal on the night destined for the marriage of Lord Arthur B and the lovely Miss If . Her father’s mansion was filled with fair 1 ladies and gay officers of the king, and' the “bright l;iinps*s!ionc o'er bright wo men and brave men.” Sweet music fill ed flic ball, and proud figures, clad in scarlet undjrold, blended with those of virgin whiteness, flitted through the ma zy figures of the giddy dance. All pres ent appeared joyful and light hearted save one. In the deep recess of a w indow stood a pale boy. An unnatural bright ness beamed from his dark eves, and he| seemed not to note the gaiety before him. The gushing melody that floated through the brilliant apartment and the ringing laugh of youth, fell not in gladness on his ear. There was no room for the joys •within the bursting heart of that lone boy. i The hour for the ceremony drew near, but where are the happy beings for whom i this festive circle is gathered ? In a se cluded arbor of the garden sat a youthful | couple, conversing in a low and conliden j tiul tone ; and how many blissful dreams jof the future, and w hat high and happy ; hopes urged their delusive visions on the minds of that young pair. They are waited lor at the alter.—The aged father of the young bride approaches the pale Eugene. “Tell thy master that the hour is at hand.” The hoy started like one awakened from a dream—he looked a rotuid with a wild amazement, then an swered in a voice of hoarse, unearthlv tone, “1 will.” The agony expressed in those brief words rang strangely on the happy group around. The boy had vanished. Suddenly a shriek rang through the mansion that blanched the blood from many a lovely cheek. All rushed to the arbor. The young nobleman lay stretch ed upon the earth —the life’s blood gush ing from his heart, tinged with yet deep !er shade his crimson attire. Sinking bv his side was the slight figure of a youth ; his open garment revealing the white ho st) m of a female, with the undrawn dag ger yet flashing within its faintly throbbing heart. With the last exertion of fleeting life she exclaimed, “Thisis my Revenge! ( This the fearful price of a blighted name of woman’s wrongs!” The bodies ol these victims of broken truth were borne to their far distant native land. The fair Emma II has long since been laid in the family vault of an cient “Copp’s.” All lias since changed save the certainty that mankind are prone to falsehood, and that vows, like bubbles, are as easily broken as made. A Tyrant’s Pastime. —King Louis the Eleventh of France, ordered the Ab bot of Baigne, a man of great wit, and uvho had the knack of inventing new mu sical instruments, to get him a concert of j swine’s voices, thinking it impossible. I The Abbot accordingly mustered up a J number of hogs of several ages, and pla -1 ced them under a pavillion covered with velvet—before which he had a sound board painted with a certain number of keys,— thus making an organ : and as he played on the keys with littlespikcs, whichprick jed the hogs, lie made them cry in such a tune and concert, as highly delighted the | King and Court. The Dutch are a cheap edition of the Ger ! mans, on coarse paper ami without the plates. BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. 'CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE LITERATURE. TO say that this is a reading age, implies a desire for instruction, and the means to j gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a ! greed ; on the second, there is diversity both of opinion and practice. We have newspa- ! I pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets ot ■ all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have j I severally their classes of readers and support ' ers. And yet copious as axe these means ol j intellectual supply, more are still needed. In j addition to the reviews of the day and passing j | notices of books, the peopje in large numbers, j in all parts of our great republic crave the pos j session of the books themselves, and details, j beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress jof discovery in art and science. Rut though it ! be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it Jis not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis i tanee from the emporium of literature, engross ! ! ing occupations which prevent personal appli j cation of even messages to libraries and book j j sellers, are so many causes to keep people a | j way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment j !of the covered literary aliment It is the oh j I ject of the publishers of the l ibrary to obviate i | these difficulties, and to enable every individ j j ual, at a small cost and without any personal ! effort, to obtain for bis own use and that of his iavored friends or family, valuable works, com- i ! plete, on all the branches of useful and popular i i literature, and that in a form adapted to the j comfort of the reader. The charm of variety, as far as it is Compati ble with morality and good taste, will be held j constantly in view in conducting the Library, j j to fill the pages of which the current literature j of Great Britain, in all its various departments of biography, history’, travels, novels and poe- ! ■ try, shall be freely put under contribution. — j I With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in i tended to give entire the work which shall be j j selected for publication. When circumstances s authorize the measure, recourse will be had to 1 tin’ literary stores of Continental Europe, and : | translations made from French, Italian or Ger | man, as the case may be. 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 miscellaneous character j of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men and things, and notices of novelties in literature : and the arts throughout the civilized world.— 1 j A full and regular supply of the literary, month- j I ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain ( and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of a similar character, cannot fail to provide am- j pie materials for this part of our work. The resources and extensive correspondence of the publishers are the best guarantee for the continuance of the onterprize in which they ; are about to embark, as well as for the abun- I dance of the materials to give it value in the eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec- 1 lion and arrangement are concerned, readers j will it is hoped, have re ason to lie fully satisii > ed, as the editor of the Library is not a stran ger to them, but has more than once obtained , their favorable sul’rages for his past literary e Boris.

To supply, at a low price, the inland towns with information, at R ■ little delay only, after it has been received in the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy. and should in the end reward such persons as exert their ability lor the sileoessUtl furtherance of this ob ject- * The Elinors and Proprietors of the Boston Daily lie raid, convinced of the importance ol a carefully conducted press to disseminate in formation throughout the country, same weeks since issued the first number of the Semi WriKi.v Herald on Star. w hit’ll they have found to be suitable to the wants of the inland community, as it furnishes over one hundred newspapers in a year, at the very low price ol two dollars. This paper is made up from the Daily Herald with such additional matter,,in the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements of the markets, and such information respecting sales as may be deemed advantageous to the ! yeomanry of the land.

TERMS THREE DOLLARS A YEAR. TII E LADIES COMPANION, a month ly periodical, commenced on the broad grounds of diffusing general information, far and wide—at a price, which is within 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 seventeen 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 I humorous; choice essays and sketches by the best writers of the day ; literary and scientific intelligence; copious extracts from American and Annuals; strictures on the drama and fine arts; notices 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 j reader, embracing passing events ; biographi cal sketches of noted individuals; discoveries in the arts and sciences, &c. &e. Ac.; accounts of colleges and American institutions; sketches from scenery of our own country ; public as semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers and authors; view of olden times of the city of gotliam; Broadway Analyzed; comments on Good Society, &c. &e. Embellished monthly with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu sic—original and selected ; and Embroidery for the working of lace patterns. In short nothing required to insure interest, amusement, or tilt improvement of the mind in the pages of the Ladies Companion, xvill 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 merica Negotiations have been commenced \j ith an additional number of popular writers, for origi nal contributions for the ensuing year, among them are— W.

Stevens In conjunction with those who have, hereto fore favored the Ladies Companion with origi nal contributions. It has ever been the aim of the proprietor to inculcate and promote the cause ol morality.— It cannot be denied that the periodical press exercise a decided influence upon the moral and intellectual character; and where that press is untrammelled by mercenary consider ations or vicious principles, it:: ellect must be eli vating 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, we bold those men as traitors to their country, who would seek to de stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion, either by open opposition or secret intrigue, hi sustaining the literary character of tiie La dies Companion, the proprietor will not coniine himself to the mere task of pleasing, without imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor to present both, that which will be attractive to superficial readers, us well us that which will lurnish subjects for reflection to the stu dent. No work in America presents its sub | scribers with such a melengc of invaluable reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex treinely low price (three dollars a year;) and ! letters are continually being received from Eu ; rope, inquiring how it is possible for a periodi -1 cal to be issued at such a small rate, which j proves its undeniable claims to the support ol : the American people, particularly those of the , i state ol New York and adjacent ones, i It is not generally known to the public that \ each number ot the Ladies Companion con tains more reading than any other Magazine in ; America ; and its suliscript.nn 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, i The terms are three dollars a year, payable : in advance, and no subscription taken for less ! than one year.

Smith's new Brick Machine, invented by Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this place, take pleasure in recommending it to the 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 oft’, and four to sand the moulds, &c.—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 operation 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, 2,368 in one hour, or about. 4U to the minute.
