• DESOLATION.
Where is the Past—thou devastator! where:
Thy sealed archives of centuries lay bare '
Lift up the pall antiquity deplores !
Roll bark the billows from her deluged shores !
Dispel the darkness of historir gloom, —
And flash tbv lightning through the hidden
tomb !
From buried cities, bid Convulsion fling
Their suiph rolls shroud, their mounting cov
ering !
Thou hast o’erwhelmed— o'erirhelm thy ruin
now.
And light shall gleam upon thy clouded brow !
How many glories, unrecorded, sleep
Beneath an Etna's dark, chaotic deep !
The structure which sublimest art had piled !
The noblest dome whereon the heavens smiled !
The sane where Freedom spread her mighty
wings,
And thundered terror to the souls of kings !
Where Learning liefd her hemispheric sway,
And with Religion, blent her clearer ray—
Have tumbled, battlement and base, as came,
Torrent upon torrent, the mountain flame 1
Where, Desolation ! is thy power unknown ?
What favored land views not thy trophied
throne,
And, in thy dismal courts, reads not the fate
Os all mankind dare claim—of all tin y dare
create ?
What mighty genius, elevated, bright
With Immortality’s celestial light;
With giant energies, divinely wrought ;
W hat boundless soarings of tremendous
thought;
What eloquence with its impetuous fire ;
Wiiat poetry, with spirit-troubled lyre;
W hat passions, curbless as the torrent's tide ;
What fearful downfalls of imperious pride—•
Are in thy veiled and eloud-eneompusscd breast;
In unrevealed repose—impenetrated rest'
Go where the broad Pacific ever roars—
Upon America's wild, western shores
Upon a thousand monuments you trace
The wondrous genius of a mighty race—
But where are they ? Has Conquest's (laming
blade,
Os all their millions, immolation made 5
Or has the ocean, rising from its bed,
Rolled darkly o'er, and swept them t<. the dead!
Ages on ages shall not light the gloom
That folds oblivion round their unknown doom.
Do we, then, tread, regardless of the dead,
A nation's dust? Does no reproof impede ?
Does not emotion, as these thoughts awake,
Each measured pulse terrifically shake?
What princely cities may have reared tlreir
towers
Where now this wilderness of low
ers—
Their glittering temples flashing in the streams
Where now the I ndian's battle-plumage gleams!
What godlike spirits have, perhaps, upon
That very summit, led the cnnllicton !
And flashed their falchions for a prouder stale
Than Bunker's grandeur trembled to create !
Or fired the Senate till each soul
Beal like the mountain when its pulses r<*U ;
And rang, from every blade-embracing hand,
The clash of Freedom through the sounding
land !
But not a tongue shall e'er pronounce their
name,
No eye grow brighter at their star of fame.
And as they are. my country, thou shah he—
Thy hills untrodden, and thy waters free
And not an echo where once millions rushed.
And not a bosom—but its tumult hushed—
When Desolation shall in conquest claim
His heritage, and roll the sphere in flame 1!

j one of the great objects ot “Waldie s Library,’ ■
I ‘‘to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every mail's door.’ This object
I has been accomplished ; we have given to j
I books wings, and they have flown to the up- j
I perniost parts of our vast continent, carrying
j society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
! rary, information to all. We now propose still
j further to reduce prices, and render the access
i to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac-1
possible ; wo gave, and shall continue to give, I
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, tor less than Jour cents a !
j week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the j
j dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
’ and a summary of the news and events of the :
j day. We know, by experience and calcula- i
tion, that we can go still further in the matter j
j of reduction, and we fee}, that there is still j
verge enough for us to aim at offering to ah !
! increasing literary appetite, that mental food
j which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever!
so great a favorite, will continue to make its !
weekly visits, and to ! e issued in a form tor

form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, 1837, issue a huge I
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, hut oil very superior paper, alsol
ed with hooks, of the newest and most entertain- j
ing, though, in their several departments of!
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, Ac., select in |
their character, joined with reading, such as |
should till a weekly newspaper. By this liicth-j
i oil, we hope to accomplish a great good ; toen-1
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
| give to it, at at expense which shall he no con
: siderulion to any, a mass of reading, that, in I
hook form, would alarm the pockets ol the pru- j
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most j
sceptical shall acknowledge *• the power of I
! concentration can no farther go." No book,!
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will !
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an j
entirely distinct periodical.

PROSPECTUS OF
Tii v Bi \ e»•im en t.
IN issuing a ‘Prospectus for the publication of
a paper., the undersigned will depart from a j
usage more honored in the breach, than in the j
observance, and make no promises which it is 1
not his design to fulfil. "Tin. Experiment,"!
after a trial of almost I ‘J mouths, has not failed m
reeuring for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonnge desired ; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards 1
its support. Gratified tor the encouragement j
manifested, desirous ot’ making Ins little paper 1
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
1 generous public, the subscriber has determined
;to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present '
j dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four j
I times as much mutter as it now does. Thus!
; will be afforded greater space for his own lucu- ,
! hratious and those of correspondent's, together
j with Ad\ertisements and judicious selections, j
It may not lie inappropriate here to remark, that,
;or want of room, some ot' the best eommiiuiea- i
lions have been excluded, and occasionally in
teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor and
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward ; and consequently, tlie subscription price
tor the second volume will he One Dollar ill t
j advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the ;
j expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
j he perceived, is not in proportion to the change j
* of size in the paper ; the times being hard. \\ e
are willing to work as low as wo can, to save '
ourselves trom debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore ats(l cents per
j square lor the first insertion, and 25 cents per
I square for each subsequent insertion,

(CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE.
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
; gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
| greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
10l opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers. magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
j all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
! severally their classes of readers and support
j ers. And yet copious as are these means nl
! intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
. addition to the reviews of the day and passing
i notices of books, the people in large numbers,
j in all parts of our great republic crave the pox
i session of the hooks themselves, and de tails,
i beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress
ol discovery in art and science. Rut though it
I be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
jis not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
! tame from the emporium of literature, engross
i ing occupations which prevent personal appli
eatn,n of even messages to libraries and book
i sellers, are so many causes to keep people a
; way trom the feast of reason and the enjoyment
ot the covered literary aliment It is the ob
ject ot the publishers ot the Library to obviate
these difficulties, arid to enable every individ
ual, at a small cost and without any personal j
effort, to obtain for his own use anuthat of his
favored triends or family, valuable works, com- I
plete.on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
1 he charm ot variety, as far as it is compati
ble with morality and good taste, will he held |
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to till the pages of which the current literature
ot Great Britain, in all its various departments
of biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall he freely put under contribution.—
\V ith 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 he had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
mail, as the ease 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
ol a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A lull 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
ryes of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to he fully satisii
ed, as the editor of the Library is not a sirun
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary i
efforts.
TERMS. ‘
The work will he published in weekly nuni
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
more than 52( t octavo pages, each volume; and

bers will he 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-I
mon sized English duodecimo books. The pa
per upon which the Library will be printed,
will he of the finest quality used for hook work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the typo will he entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
furnish a handsome us 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 till per cent, will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing live subscribers, and remitting the a
inuuut of subscription, shall he entitled to the
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a
hove as often as convenient, and send a copy

the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements

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
and English Annuals; strictures on the drama
and fine arts ; notices of ali the new publications
as they issue from the press; translations from

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. With these views,everything
operating injuriously to morals or religion have
been studiously avoided and not allowed a place
in the Magazine; for, we hold those men as
traitors to their country,, who tvould seek to de
stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
either by open opposition or sceret 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 e ndeavor
to present both, that which will be attractive
to superficial readers, as well as that which
will lurnish subjects for reflection to the stu
dent. No work in America presents its sub
scribers with such a melcnge of invaluable
reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex
tremely low price (three dollars a year;) and
i 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 ot New York 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 friction. Office, 110 Wil
liam street. W AV. SNOWDEN, Proprietor.

the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
