THE DEAD MARINER
B V Gt D. PRENTICE.
Sleep on—sleep on—above thy corse
The winds their sabbath keep,—
The wave is round thee—and thy breast
Heaves with the heaving deep,
O’er thee, mild eve her beauty flings,
And there the white gull lifts her wings;
And the blue halcyon loves to lave
IlSr plumage in tire holy wave.
Sleep on—no willow o’er thee bends
With melancholy air.
No violet springs, nor dewy rose
Its soul of love lays bare ;
But there the sea-flower bright and young
Is sweetly o'er thy slumbers flung ;
And, like a weeping mourner fair,
The pale flag hangs its tresses there.
Sleep on—sleep on—the glittering depths
Ofocean's coral waves
Are thy bright urn—thy requiem
The music of its waves ;
The purple gems forever burn
In fadeless beauty round thy urn ;
And, pure and deep as infant love,
The blue sea rolls its waves above.
Sleep on—sleep on—the fearful wrath
Os mingled cloud and deep,
May leave its wild and stormy track
Above thy place of sleep.
But when the wave has sunk to rest,
As now’t will murmur o’er thy breast;
And the Wight victims of the sea
Perchance will make their home with thee.
Sleep on—thy corse is far away,
But love bewails thee yet,—
For thee the heart-rung sigh is breathed,
And lovely eyes are wet:
And she, thy young and beautious bride,
Her thoughts are hovering by thy side ;
An oft she turns to view with tears
The Eden of departed years.
Sulect Conversation. The follow
ing specimen of “ Select Conversation,”
is taken from the Countess of Blessing
ton’s admirable work, “The Victims of
Society.”
Lady Acid, who has gained a reputa
tion on the strength of extreme
ill nature —which, entre nous suit (lit, in
London is continually mistaken for it—
declares that, in a moral point of view,
bals costumss should be encouraged here,
as they compel many ladies to think of
character who had long forgotten the
advantages of such a possession!
“How novel it must be to several of my
friends,” said Lady Acid, “to have a char-
acter eveu for one night ?”
“VVlfc after all,” said Lady Charles
Brettville, “they have done so long, and
so well, without such an appendage, that
it would now be as useless as the long
exploded pockets.”
“llow many hearts,” drawled out the
sentimental Mrs. Coningshy, “beat (puck
er now, in the anticipation of conquests
to be achieved, or chains to be riveted, or
truant admirers to he regained ”
“Or female friends to be mortified!” in
terrupted Lady Acid.”
“I shall go as a Venetian lady,” said
the Marchioness of Eiderdown, “because
it will enable me to near the whole of my
jewels.”
“The only occasions on which she is
brilliant,” whispered Lady Acid in my
ear
“I shall go ns a shepherdess," lisped
Lady Simper.
“Because the dress will display at once
file smallness of her waist, and of her wit,”
added Lady Acid again.
“I shall go as a Swiss peasant,” said
Lady Mclliccnt.
“To show her legs,” rejoined her friend,
Lady Acid.
“I have chosen a Greek dress,” ob
served Lady Rawlinson.
“And not ill chosen, either,” whisper
ed Lady Acid,"“il all we hear of her gam
ing propensities be true.”
“1 mean to personate a Madalen,” said
Mrs. AV alton, “with my hair falling on
my shoulders.”
“Are you not afraid of people’s think
ing the character too appropriate?” asked
her last discarded admirer.
“My dress shall be that of a Roman
empress,” said Lady Easy.
“Messalini, 1 suppose,” whispered Lady
Acid.
“In what character shall I go?” asked
Lord Wellingford.
In that of the Carless Husband,” re
plied Lady Acid.
“And you, Mr. Miller,” demanded a
nother, “what character will you person
ify ?”
“The Poor Gentleman,” whispered Lndv
Acid.
“1 he report, then is true,” said Lady
Rawlinsoti, “that Mr. Miller is ruined,
and lives by his wits.”
“As to being ruined, I believe it is true
enough,’’' answered Lady Acid ; “but the
living by his wits I hold to be impossible,
for the capital is too small to allow inter
est enough to support even a mouse.” 1
“Observe Wellingford,” said Mr. Mill
er, how conceited he looks ! —he thinks
himself a perfect Adonis.”
“Poor fellow! thou no Adonis, he may
yet share the same fate,” replied Lady
Acid—“that of being destroyed by a bore
if he should be again condemned to
sqour in the country, tete-a-tete with his
mi fe.”

WALDIE’S LITERARY OMNIBUS
.Xorel and Important Literary Enterprize!
Motels, Tales, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reticles, and the JVcws of the Hay. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,”
“to make good reading cheaper, ami to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
has been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. We now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, 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
icctk, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a-few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go llill further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough lor us to aim at ottering 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 visits, and to he 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, 1837, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also, fill
ed icitli boohs, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, Sec., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner 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. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It wall contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
M einoirs, dee., und only chargeable icith A'ews
paper postage.
s 2d. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of' Europe and A
merica.
The price will bo TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
O’O/i no condition trill a copy ercr be sent,
until the payment is reetired in adiance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this groat literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fultihnent of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
inount to two volumes of Tices' Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM WALDIE,
40 Carpenter street, Philadelphia.
(Jjf*Editors throughout the Union and Cana
da, will confer a favor, by giving the above one
or more conspicuous insertions, and accepting
the work for a year as compensation.
PROSPECTUS OF
The 10 x |> e r i 111 nil.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “Tin: Experiment,"
after a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
securing for the Editor, the attention und pat
ronage desired; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified for the encouragement
manifested, desirous of making his little paper
worthy the patronage of ail enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times as much matter ns it now does. Thus
will be afforded greater space for his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
for want of room, some of the best communica
tions have been excluded, und occasionally in
teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor and
expenditure, lie must hope for increased re
i ward; anil consequentlythe subscription price
j for the second volume will be One Dollar in
| advance." or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
i expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
ot size in the paper; the times being hard, we
j are willing to work as low as we cun, to save
I ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
square for each subsequent insertion.

vance, by doing so, will not only" save them

more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute tlie

i CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
rpO say that this is a reading age, implies a
JL desire for instruction, and the means to
! gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
i greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
|of opinion and practice. We have newspa
i pers, magazines, reviews, in fipe, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
ers. And yet copious as an; these means ol
intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
addition to the reviews of the day and passing
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 progiess
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. Expense, dis
tance from the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation ol even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people a
way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment It is the ob
ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ i
ual, at a small cost and without any personal :
effort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, coin- 1
plete, on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the !
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is compati
ble with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to till tlu* pages of which the current literature
of Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall be freely put under contribution.—
With perchance occasional exceptions, it is in
tended to give entire the work which shall be
selected for publication. When circumstances
authorize the measure, recourse will be had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
inan, as the case may be.
Whilst the body of the work will he a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, the
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regular supply of the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
ple materials for this part of our work.
The resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
continuance of the enterprize in which they
are about to embark, as well as for the abun
dance of the materials to give it value in the
eyes of the public. As fur as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisli
ed, as the editor of the Library is not a stran
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts.
TERMS.
The work will be published in weekly num
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, of
more than 520 octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six months, subscri
bers will be furnished with a handsome title
page and table of contents. The whole amount
of matter furnished in a single year* will be e
qual to more than forty volumes of the com
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
per upon which the Library will be printed,
will be of the finest quality used for book Work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will be entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
j furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
, not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price of the Library will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
| A commission of 20 per cent, will be allowed
\to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
i pishing five subscribers, and remitting the a
| mount of subscription, shall be entitled to tin*
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

THE HERALD AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied tlint the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
reeted activity on the part of the press to make
known the features of the various topics which
are now agitating the various portions of the
national confederacy. To supply, at a low
price, the inland towns with information, at a
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 for the successful furtherance of this ob-
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Sf.mi
Wffkly Herald and Star, which 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 ot
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.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to jtselt
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly 00
every subject which concerns the weal of the
whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their various departments.
The Herald and Star is published every Tues
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; $2.25 in three months ; §2,50 in six
months; §3 at the end of the year. The best
method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose §2 in a letter addressed to the Pro
prietors. HARRINGTON A CO.

Ladies Companion for 1837.
LITERARY ENTERPRIZE!!
Devoted more especially to the interest of the
Ladies! **
TERMS—THREE DOLLARS A YEAR.
THE 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
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 tlie 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 ; literary and scientific
intelligence ; copious extracts from American
y nh English 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 of
every descr.ption, independent of an immense
variety ol miscellaneous articles on every sub
ject of the least interest to the most casual
reader, embracing passing events; biographi
cal sketches ol noted individuals ; discoveries
in the arts and sciences, Ac. Ac. 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, Ac. Ac. 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 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 tin
pages ol 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

additional number ofpopular writers, for origi

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, its effect must be
elevating and refining to a community, like
that of America. W itli these views, every thing
operating injuriously to morals or religion have
been studiously avoided and not allowed a place
in the Magazine ; lor, we hold those men as
traitors to their country, who would seek to de
stroy tiie pure doctrines of virtue and rel.gion,
eitiier 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
imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor
to present both, that which will be attractive
to superficial readers, as well as that which
will lurnish subjects lor reflection to the stu
dent. No work in America presents its sub
scribers with such a melenge 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 be issued at such a small rate, which
proves its undeniable claims to the support ol
the American people, particularly those of the
state of New \ork and adjacent ones.
It is not generally known to the public that
each number of the Ladies Companion con
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 city by the
earliest mails, strongly enveloped in double
wrappers to prevent triction. Oltice, 1 If) Wil

XJTAVING received a number of fcommuni
-■-i cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Galvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, 1 take Ihis method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations
I bind inyself to pay the expenses of his trip.
1 do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having seen the machine; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
tw o of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as my authorized agents.
T. L. SMITH.
We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith’s new Brifck 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 niould
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 grow-n
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

1 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
ot 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, 2,308 in one hour, orabout 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

OWING to the intended removal of one of
the Editors and the wish of the other to
devote himselfmore exclusively to the duties
of his profession, the undersigned offer for sale
the establishment of the Nortli Carolina Jour
nal Office. The office is well found in Job,
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 person 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 he could make of his
money that would yield him a more profitable
return. s’ HYBART A STRANGE.

General Newspaper am! Col
lection Agency.
THE undersigned, late editor and proprietor
of the Augusta Chronicle, having the ex
tensive business of that establishment to close,
and conscious from long experience, how much
such a facility is needed, at least by the Press,
is disposed to connect with it a General Agen
cy for the collection of JVei espaper and other
Debts, in this and the neighboring Southern
States, and will travel almost continually to
present them himself. Should the business of
sered be sufficient, the agency will be made a
permanent one—and while his long connexion
with the Press and consequent knowledge of
its peculiar requisitions and benefits from such
an Agency, and his extensive personal acquain
tance with the localities and people of the coun
try, afford peculiar facilities for the perform
ance of its duties, he trusts that suitable en
quiries will leave no doubt of prompt and faith
ful attention to them.
A. H. PEMBERTON.

Barnwell and Beaufort Districts, to Savannah,
thence through Bryan, Liberty, Mclntosh,
Glynn and Camden counties, anil back through
Wayne, Ac. to Savannah ; and thence through
Effingham,’ Seriven, Burke, Jefferson, Wash
ington and Warren, to Augusta. After which,

A’cie subscribers, with payment in advance, 25
per cent; without payment in advance, 12 1-2
per cent. He has been offered more in some
instances, but cannot consent to take more from
one than another, or than he himself would
willingly pay; and now fixes on these rates as
timse he has paid, and as being as low as can
be afforded, or as he has ever known paid—
trusting for remuneration, more to the probable
extent of bus ness he may receive, than to the
rates themselves, together with the considera
tion of travelling for his health, and to collect
for himself.
Mercantile accounts, 5 per cent more op less,
according to amount, Ac.
Remittances will be made according to instruc
tion, and at the risk of those to whom they are
