POETBI.
EVENING.
bt 1 Tailor.
Day hath put on hia jacket, and around
Hi* burning bosom buttoned it with stars.
Here will I lay me on the velvet grass,
That ia like padding to earth's meagre ribs,
And hold communion with the things about
me.
Ah me ! how lovely is the golden braid
That binds tire skirt ofnight e descending robe'
The thin leaves, quivering on their silken
threads,
Do make a music like a rustling satin,
As the light breezes smooth their downy nap.
Ha ' what is this that rises to my touch,
So like a cushion ? Can it be a cabbage ?
It is, it is that deeply injured flower
Which boys do flout us with ; but yet I love
thee,
Thou giant rose, wrapped in a green surtout.
Doubtless in Eden thou didst blush as bright
As these, thy puny brethren, and thy breath
Sweetened the fragrance of her spicy air;
But now thou seemestlikc a brankrupt beau,
Stripped of his gaudy hues and essences.
And growing portly in his sober garments.
Is that a swan that rides upon the water?
O, no. It is that other gentle bird
Which is the patron of our noble calling.
I well remember, in iny early years,
When these young hands first closed upon a
goose.
I have a scar upon my thimble finger,
Which chronicles the hour of young ambition.
My father was a tailor, and his father.
And my sire’s grandsirc—all of them were
tailors.
They had an ancient goose—it was an heir-loom
From some remoter tailor of our race.
It happened I did see it on a time
When none was near, and 1 did deal with it,
And it did burn me, O, most fearfully !
It is a joy to straiten out one's limbs,
And leap elastic from the level counter,
Leaving the petty grievances of earth,
The breaking thread, the din of clashing
shears,
And all the needles that do wound the spirit,
For such a pensive hour ot soothing silence.
Kind Nature, shuffling in her loose undress,
Lays bare her shady bosom. 1 can feel
With all around me. I can hail the flowers
That spring earth’s mantle, and yon quiet bird
That rides the stream is to me as a brother.
The vulgar know not all the hidden pockets
Where Nature stows away her lovlines*.
But this unnatural posture of the legs
Cramps my extended calves, and 1 must go
Where I can coil them in their wanted fashion.
FLOYVERS.
With each expanding flower we find
Some pleasing sentiment combined:
Love in the myrtle bloom is seen,
Remembrance to the violet clings—
Peace brightens in the olive’s green;
Hope from the half-closed iris springs—
While victory to the laurel grows,
And woman blushes in the rose.
The following lines to a steamboat, were
published some time since in the Louisville
Gazette.
Air —“/ see them on (heir winding teat/.”
I- see her on her winding way,
About her bows the white waves play
And echo from the hill’s around,
Gives bad; the scape me nt\s measur’d sound.
Her towering deck and chimneys high,
Stand out against the clear blue sky;
Astern the star-flag proudly flows,
Forward the furnace redly glows—
With loud command, and firemen’s cry,
The steamers gone; good b’ye, good by’e.
Chances of Fortune. When the
late Lord Erskinc, was lord chancellor, j
he invited the gentlemen who told me:
the following anecdote to breakfast with
him. While they were conversing, a I
servant brought in a letter, which Lord .
Erskine read with considerable emotion.
After a pause, he said it was from one of
the French Princes, without naming
which, and added, that it was to solicit
his assistance on the occasion of some
embarrassment. He then remarked up
on the very extraordinary change which |
a few years had brought about in their j
respective fortunes. “The first time 11
saw the writer of this letter,” he contui-j
ued, “was at Versailles. 1 was then a
poor ensign on my way to join my regi
ment, which was lying in Minorca. As|
I was traveling to Paris in a public vehi
cle, one of the passengers, who held some
inferior situation in the palace, offered to
procure me an opportunity of seeiinr the
court, and there I beheld this prince fig
uring in the most brilliant manner as
one of the most distinguished men in
Europe. I was then in the lowest rank
in one profession, and am now at the
head of another of a totally different na
ture, and he, in exile and in poverty, is
supplicating my aid.”
Disagreeable Situation. A Francis
can friar, mounted on an ass, had to pass
through a rivulet, which crossed the road.
The beast was unwilling to go in, and the
friar dismounted to urge him on. ’ The an
imal at length entered the water hut trem
bled as he stepped forward. A man who
passed at the time, said, ‘Father, your ass
trembles.’ *Oh,’ replied the friar, ‘if you
were in his situation you would tremble
too’ ‘How?’ said the man. ‘Why, my
friend,’ answered the friar, ‘if you had a
rope round your neck, irons on your feet,
and a friar at your side, you would certain
ly Hunk you were going t« be executed!’

WALDIE'S LITERARY OMNIBUS
A'orcl and Important Literary Enterprize!
.Yards, Tabs, Uiography, loyagts, Travels,
lieriews, and the J\'cws of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,
‘•to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every mail's door.” Tins object
lias 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 thu same period, for less than four cents a
icccli, 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 still further in the matter
of reduction, and wo feel, that there is still
verge enough for 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, n.\mt,fil
ed with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, *&c., 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 ; tocn
livcn 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 ot
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. Waldio'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 will contain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume,embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, dec., and only chargeable with -Yews
paper postage.
2d. Literary reviews, talcs, 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, hut in a sullicient amount to
embrs.ee a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
inerica.
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
office subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS, i’he discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit
ter ; the low price and superior paper, absolute
ly prohibit paying a discount.
O’CM no condition ictll a copy ever be sent,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no tear ot
non.inlfilinont of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post
paid,) ADAM W A LIME.

or more conspicuous insertions, and accepting

PROSPECTUS OF
T li c E a peri in cut.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication ol
a paper, the undersigned will depart troin a
usage more honored ill the breach, Ilian in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “The Experiment.’
after a trial of almost 12 months, lias not tailed in
recuring for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired ; and it is confidently believed,
m rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified tor the encouragement
manifested, desirous of making Ins little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly tour
tunes as much matter as it now does. Thus
will be afforded greater space for his oxyn lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not be inappropriate here to remark, that,
lor want of room, some of the best communica
tions have been excluded, and occasionally in
teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. YVith increased labor and
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward ; and consequently. the subscription price
for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of size in the paper ; the times being hard, we
are willing to work as low as we can, to save
j ourselves troiu 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.
[fiyThose 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 the
work. F. J. ROBINSON.

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATURE
TO say that this is a reading age, implies a
desire for instruction, and the means to
i 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
pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
severally their classes of readers and support
ers. And vet copious as are 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 progress
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 ot 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
ual, at a small cost and without any personal
effort, to obtain for his ow n use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
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 fill the 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
man, ns the case may be.
Whilst the body of the work will be 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 tilings, 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 far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to he fully satisfi
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.
Tile work will be published in weekly mini
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, ol
more than mill 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 Look 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
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 20 per cent, will be allowed
to agents ; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing live subscribers, and remitting the a
lnouul of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of tile
work for one year.
Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros
pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a
Love as often as convenient, and send a copy
of their paper containing the advertisement
marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex
change for one year. Address

TIIE lIEUALI) AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
reeled 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 inlnruiation, at a
little delay only, after it has been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward sucii persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout tiie country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
YYeekly Herald and Star, which they liave
found to he 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 Ironi 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 itselt
the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
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 <*x erling themselves to give strength and a
bihty 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; §2,00 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 «& CO.

Ladies Companion for 1£37.
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 reacli
of all classes of the community. The plan has
succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa
tions ot 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 tire Ladies Companion, every class of
readers will find that which will tend to their
tales, of every nature, pathetic and
humorous; choice essays and sketches by the
best writers ot the day ; literary and scientific
intelligence ; copious extracts from American
and English Annuals; strictures on the drarfla
and fine arts ; notices of all the new publications
as they issue from the press ; translations from
the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian
pnd Hebrew languages; original and selected
aoetry; original music and Engravings, witli
fine wood cuts and patterns of embroidery of
every description, independent of an immense
variety of 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
from scenery of our own country ; public as
semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers
and authors ; view of olden times of the city of
gotham; Broadway Analyzed ; comments on
Good Socjety, Ac. Ac. Embellished monthly
with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu
sic—original and selected; and Embroidery for
the working oflace 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 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 with an
additional number of popular writers, for origi
nal contributions for the ensuing year, among
them are—

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 tiiat.
press is untrammelled by mercenary consider
ations or vicious principles, its etlect must be
elevating and rehning to a community, like
that of America. With these views, everything
operating injuriously to morals or religion liave
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 tie
stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
eitner by open opposition or secret intrigue
In sustaining the literary character of the 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, tiiat winch will be attractive
to superficial readers, as well as that which
will luriiish 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 Gomparitoir, tor 1 1a ex
tremely low price (three dollars a year;) and
letters arc continually being received from Eu
rope, inquiring how it is possible lor a periodi
cal to be issued at such a small rate, which
| proves its undeniable claims to the support ot
the American people, particularly those of the
1 state ot New York and adjacent ones.
It is not generally known to the public that
each number ol the Ladies Companion con
tains more reading than any other Magazine in
America; and its subscription price is two dol

HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir.
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful op/
ration in this place, 1 lake :his method of an
swormg them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to corr.o and see the opera
tion ol the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations
1 bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip J
I do not expect to sell a right to any one w ith
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 In
two 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
I. L. Smith 8 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
rad 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 off, and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men. Ihus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

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
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,2,3liß in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

to the intended removal of one of
the Editors and the wish of the other to
devote himself more exclusively to the duties
of his profession, the undersigned offer for sale
the establishment of the North 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 einbarkimr 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. lIYBART A STRANGE
