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!’ !

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.

Jj* 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 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.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. 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.

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. Boston, 1837. Sl© Reward.

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— W. G. Simms Gapt. Murry att Sheridan Knowles Miss L. E. Landon Miss Gilman Hon. Mrs. Norton Lady Blcssingtou E. Burke Fisfier Edgar A. Poe Miss Pi. F. Gould N. G. Brooks, A. M. Isaac G. Pray, Jr. H.

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 lars less than those issued in New York. A single page contains nit re than two pages of the otfier Magazines, and some of them three. The terms arc three dollars a year, payable in advance, and no subscription taken tor 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.

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.
