POETRY. FFrom the Boston Daily Advertiser.] • 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! AN KIit;RAM. On Sabbath morn two sisters rise.

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 THREE DOLLARS A YEAR. up H E LADIES COMPANION, a inonth j ly periodical, commenced on the broad grounds ot diffusing general information, far and wide—at a price, which is within the reach :of all classes of tlie community. The plan has succeeded beyond the most-sanguine anticipa lions of the proprietor. The first number was ; ls sut'd to tlie 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 ot 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; 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 file ]• rencli, Spanish, Greek, German. Italian pud Hebrew languages; original and selected aoetry; original music and Engravings, with fine woodcuts and patterns of'embroidery of every description, independent of an immense variety ot 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 the arts and sciences, Ac. Ac. Ac.; accounts of colleges and American institutions; sketches lrom scenery of our own country ; public as- I semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers and authors; view of olden times of the city of gothain; Broadway Analyzed; comments on i Good Society, Ac. Ac. Embellished monthly with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu s ‘ c original and selected; and Embroidery for I 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 tlie proprietor, and it will be = ~—'th sweetest flowers enrich’d, l rom various gardens cull and 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 i est and most diversified periodical issued in A mcrica Negotiations have been commenced with an additional number of popular writers, for origi -1 nal contributions for the ensuing vear, anion a them, are— -1 E.

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 of 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. 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.

Bv mould | ing ten hours in a day. it would therefore turn out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day j It requires six boys to bear off, and four to sand the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown men. I bus fourteen hands are sufficient to make the above nathed quantity of the most beautiful brick per day. JOHN SPRINGER. DAVID F. WILSON. Alacon, April 14, ltf37. I have witnessed the performance of Air T. L. Smith s new Brick-making .Machine, just put into operation in this place: and hare no hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful improvement on any other method of brick making 1 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,2,3(M in one hour, or about lu to tlie minute.
