POETRY.
THE BLlftl) BOY S SOLILOQUY.
ThebirdAhat never wing.
Can blithely hop and sweetly sing;
Though prisoned in a narrow cage,
TtlS his fiLght feathers droop with age.
So I, while never blest with sight,
Shut out from Heaven's surrounding light,
Life s hours and days and years enjoy,
xßougli blind, a merry hearted boy.
That captive bird mav never float
Through Heaven, or pour liis thrilling note
"'Mid shady grows, by pleasant streams,
That sparkle in the soft moon beams ;
But he mav gaily flutter round
Within his prison s scanty bound,
And give hi - soul to song—for he
Ne'er longs to taste sweet liberty.
Oh ! may I no! as happy dwell
Within my uinlliimim-d cell?
May 1 not leap, and sing, and play,
And turn niv constant night to day ?
I never saw the sky, the sea ;
The earth was never green to me
Then why, Oh ! why should 1 repine,
For blessings that were never mine.
Think not that blindness makes me sails}
-My thoughts, like your s, are often glad
Barents 1 have who love me well,
Their diffi ■rent voices 1 can tell ;
Though far and absent, 1 can hear,
In dreams, their music meet my ear :
Is there a star so dear above,
As tile low voice of one you love ?
T never saw uty father’s face;
Yet, on his forehead when I place
My hand, and feel the wrinkles tin re,
Left less by time than anxious care,
I fear the world has sights of wo,
To knit the brows of mauhondrkn.
I sit upon inv lather s knee—
He'd love me less if 1 could sec.
T never saw mv mother's smile .
Her gentle tones my heart beguile,
They fall, like distant melody,
They are so mild and sweet to me.
tiho murmurs not, mv mother dear !
Though sometimes I have kissed the t' ar
From her toll cheek, to tell the joy
One smiling word wituhl give her boy.
Right rnerry was I everyday '
Fearless to run about and play
With sisters, brothers, friends and all,
To answer to their sudden rail,
To join the ring, to speed the chase,
To find each playmate's hiding place,
And pass my hand across his brow,
To ti 11 him—l could do it now.
Yet, though delightful Hew the hours,
So passed in childhood's peaceful bowers,
When all were gone to school hut I,
I used to sit at home and sigh ;
And though 1 never longed to view
The earth so green, the sky so blue,
1 thought I'd give the world to look
Along tin pages of a hook.
Now, since I've learned to read and write.
My heart is tilled with new delight.
And music too—can-thore he found
A sight so beautiful as-Sound ;
Tell me, kind friends, in one short word,
Am I not Ike that captive bird J
1 live, in song, and pPhccgeind joy,
Though blind, a merry-hearted boy.
The author of ‘Jack Brag,’’ narrates
an amusing incident which occurred to
las hero (an Kngiisli cocknev )whily stop
ping at a hotel m a village near the *ea
'liore. The waiting timid chanced to be
a poor orphan, hut possessed of unusual
heautv. Jack, who was ttlwavs smitten 1
with every new face, soon conceived an'
ardent passion for tlieprettv vvaitor, and
while cogitating on the subject, one night,
some hours alter he had retired to bed, |
the door gently opened, and to his sur
prise, and pleasure, Fanny, the pretty |
waiting maid, stood before him.
After a good deal of hesitation and
timidity, she informed him that, unex
pectedly, every bed in the house was oc- 1
copied, and she was under the necessity
of asking if he would he so very kind as
to spare a part of his. Jack, (now fully 1
conscious that he had not overrated his
powers of fascination) gave his assent
with “the greatest pleasure imaginable’’
when in steps, Mr. Van Slush, a North
Sea trader, who was six feet four in height,
four feel six in circumference, and wet to
the skin.—“l dank you vor modi, sir,”
said lie to Jack, “vor do eonimoda/.un :
1 zleeps sound.” “1 dont understand, ’”
slid Jack.—“ Bot I too,” replied Van
Slush; “Vannv ask you vor alf doped;
you zay yes ; 1 atf not zlept dry vor de/.e

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
ot opinion anil 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 yet copious as are these means ol
intellectual supply, more arc 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 theiqgclrcs, 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-j
tancc from the emporium id’ literature, engross
mg occupations winch prevent personal appli
cation ot even messages to libraries and book
si llers, are so many causes to keep people a
way from the least of reason and the enjoyment ;
ot the covered literary aliment It is the ob
ject of the publishers of the Library to obviate;
these dilficultics. and to enable every individ- ,
mil. at a small cost and w ithout any personal
elion, to obtain for h:s own use and that of Ins
favored friends or family, valuable works, com- ;
pleto. on all the branches of useful and popular !
Ttcj-ature. and that in a form adapted to the i
comfort of the reader.
Tie eliariu of variety, as far as it is compati I
bl«* with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view m conducting the Library,
to till the pages of which the current literature
ot (ireat Britain, in all its various departments
of biography. history, travels, novels and poe
try. shall be freely put under contribution
\\ itli perchance occasional exceptions, it is in
tended to give entire the work which shall he
selected for publication. When circumstances
authoriz • the measure, recourse will he had to
tug literary stores ot Continental Europe, and
translations made trout French, Italian or tier j
man. as the ease may be.
Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint,
or lit times a translution'of entire volumes, the I
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, and until es of novelties m literature ;
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regular supply of the literary. men t li
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
and Ireland, in addition to home periodicals of
a similar character, cannot fail to provide am
ide materials for this part of our work.
The resources and extensive eorrospoMence
of the publishers are the* best guarantee for the
continuance of the enterprize in which they
are about to embark, us well as for the abun
dance of tlie materials to give it value in the
ey es of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to Is* fully satisli
ed. as the editor of the Lil irary is not a stran
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
their favorable sull'rages fig his past literary
efforts. j

IT cannot he denied that the present state ol
our country dean-nils peculiar and well di
rooted 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. 'ljo supply, at a low
price, the inland townSjSjwith inlormatio#, at a
little delay only, alter it has been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
m the end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject . '

a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
t'urination throughout the country, seme weeks
snee issued the first number of the tir.ni

found to lie suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred

Duly Herald with such additional matter, in
tic shape of sti.ru s, legends, poetry,statements
of the markets, and such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
'1 he peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the tact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itsell
the .liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
every subject which Concerns the wcitl of the
whole country—and summons to aid. besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
lv exerting themselves to give strength and a
biliiv 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, 20 in three months; $2,50 in six

In conjunction with those who have, hereto
lore favored the Ladies Companion with ori£i
nal contributions. .
It lias ever been the aim of the proprietor to
inculcate ana promote-the cause ol morality. —
It cannot be denied that the periodical press
exercise a decided influence upon tlie moral
and intellectual character; and where luui
press is untrammelled by mercenary consider
ations or vicious principles, its effect must be
elevating and refining to u coiumuuilj , like
that ol America. YVitn these views, eviiy iiiing
operating injuriously to morals or religion have
been studiouslyxi voided and not allowed a place
in the Magazine; lor, ive hold those mon as
traitors to their country, who would seek to lie
stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
either by open opposition or secret intrigue
In sustaining the literary character ol the La
dies Companion, the proprietor will not confine
himself to the mere task of pleasing,
imparting vigor to the mind ; but will endeavor
to present both, that which will Lie attractive
to superficial readers, as well us thativh.cn
will furnish subjects lor reflection to the slu
( dent. No work in America presents its sub
scribeis with such a mclcngc of mvaiiiublc
reading ns the Ladies Companion, for
tremely low price (three dollars a year ;) and
letters are continually being received from Eu
rope, inijuiringYiow it is possible lor a periodi
cal to he issued at such u small rate, which
proves its undeniable claims to the support ol
the American people, particularly those of the
state of New York and srijacenfones.
It is not generally known to the public that
each number of tlie 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 Yoik. 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 tor less
than one year. It is published on the 15th of
each month, stitched in a colored cover and tor
warded to subscribers out of the city by the
earliest mails,' strongly enveloped in double
wrappers to prevent friction. Office, 111) Wil
liam street. WAV SNOW DEN, Proprietor.

We having witnessed the performance of Mr
T. L. Smith's 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 k< its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds ancUtnexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three hund
red 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. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day*.

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 hall "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, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.
