* POETRY. 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.” NEW PRINTING Urunstofrk, GSrorijfa.

Book* at Acn^itapcr 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. ([yThose who can conveniently pay in ad vance, by doing so, will not only" save them selves a heavy interest, but enable us, with more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute tlie work. F. J ROBINSON.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. 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. i Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros ■ pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a : hove ns often as convenient, and send a copy i of their paper containing the advertisement marked, and entitle themselves to a free e.x --j change for one year.

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. Boston, 1837. 810 Reward.

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 Negotiations have been commenced with an additional number ofpopular writers, for origi nal contributions for the ensuing year, among them are E.

Thatcher Mrs. (Ol 1 1 ds 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.

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. JOHN SPRINGER, DAyiD F. WILSON. Macon, April 14, 1837. % 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.

A. H. PEMBERTON. Mr. Pemberton will commence a trip through 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, he will travel through most of the neighborind districts of Carolina, and the middle ang upper counties of Georgia; and through the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, N. Carolina, Virginia, Ac. He will receive, for collection, claims of any kind. Terms as follows: A'cirspapcr accounts. 4c.

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 addressed—lie furnishing the Postmaster’s cer tificate of the amount deposited, and description of money, whenever a miscarriage occurs.— When left to his discretion, as often as circum stances, amount collected, safety, Ac. may seem to justify, and checks, drafts, or suitable notes in size, currency where sent, Ac can be obtained—and at the risk of those ad dressed to him in this city, will be immediately forwarded to him, when absent.
