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 uree veeks, von vay and odder, zo Vumiy priug «p tny hipe and my bacco, and zom prandy and vutcr, we ll atf a zvvig before 1 durn in.” A Fastidiucs Fisherman*.

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 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.

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 TERMS.

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*. JOHN SPRINGER DAVID F. WILSON Macon, April 14,1.837. 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.
