POETRY.
STANZAS.
written in a grave yard,
By a young Lady.
Tread lightly ! though ye may not wake
The slumberer below :
Tread lightly \ for a brother’s sake !
'Tis nature whispers so.
The nameless stone may mark the s]>ot
Where one beloved is laid,
By weeping friendship unforgot;
Do not its calm invade.
Tread lightly ! here perchance the form
That held a glorious mind,
The heart that throb and with feelings warm,
Is now in earth enshrined.
Ye would have bow’d before the flame
That kindled in his eye ;
So let his grave your reverence claim,
Pass it not rudely by !
Tread lighily ! here a mother's love
Perhaps has found a rest;
Or the green turf is heap'd above
An aged father's breast;
Ye too have parents—shall the name
Not win a tender thought?
Remember those who feel the same,
And gently pass the spot.
*
< Tread lightly ! youth and beauty here
By every eye adored,
By promised virtues rendered dear,
Is to the earth restor’d ;
Cut down before the noontide hour
Had diinm’d a single grace ;
Who would not mourn the broken flower ;
Blest he its resting place !
Tread lightly ! ’tis but fancy’s thought,
That when our souls are gone,
The inouldYmg shrine is not forgot
By those who linger on—
Yet’ tis a sweetly soothing trust,
A hope which all have known,
That memory still shall guard the dust
Beneath its token-stone.
Tread lightly ! Heaven alone hath power
To wake the slumb’ring dead !
Revere their relics till that lmur ;
Hush’d be each narrow bed—
And may the sounds of bird and stream
The cedar’s shadowy, gloom,
At morning rise and evening beam,
Blend round each peaceful tomb.
BACHELOR’S COMFORT.
Blest is the man who shuns the place
Wh*te ladies love to meet,
Who fears to trend their dangerous ways,
And hates tho tattler's seat.
But in the sweets of single life,
Has plac’d his whole delight;
By day ne’er sighs to have a wife,
To plague Ins soul at night.
lie like an oak of stoutest kind,
In seme rich pasture set;
Safe from the storm and noisy wind,
lAves like a prince in state—
Gay as a picture —and as fair,
His countenance shall shine ;
While scenes on every side appear
So clever and so fine—
Not so the man that's got a wife—
Ho lives—poor soul—forlorn—
-11 s driv’n through tempest, dim and strife,
Like chail' before tire storm —
Husbands must never dare to stand
And spat it face to face,
When wives, with broomsticks in their
hands,
Would teach the clowns their place.
Their eyes behold the paths they tread,
They school their husbands well;
But Bachelors have none to dread,
May keep it up pell tnell.
The following translation of some Latin versos
is by Thomas Moore, and are published in
the New York Mirror, as original in this
country.
ft O N G,
By Thomas, Moore.
They tell me tliou'rt the favored guest,
Os every fair and brilliant throng—
No wit like thine to wake the jest,
No voice like thine to breathe the song ;
And none could guess, so gay thou art,
That thou and 1 are far apart.
Alas, alas 1 how different flows,
With thee and me, the time away 1
Not that I wish thee sad. lieav’n knows.
Still, if thou can’st, be light and gay ;
1 only know that, without thee,
The sup himself is dark for me.
Do 1 thus haste to hall and bower—
Among the proud and gay to shine ?
■- Or deck my hair with gem and flower,
To flatter other eyes than thine ?
Ah. no ' with me love's smiles are past;
Thou liadst the first—thou hast the last.
Genius and tajent dots not always get
wealth, but they are always powerful. l
Riches cannot buy them, nor ignorance
conceive their delights. A thimble-lull
of the pow-er which has sometimes held
the world in awe, if directed to the mere
getting, of pennies, as the all-absorbing
Kisiness of life, might gather millions in
' fe sordid grasp.

Novels. Tales, lliography. lui/ages, Travels,

one of the great objects of 1 - Waldie’s Library,”
“to make imod reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man's door.” This object
has been accomplished ; we have given to;
hooks wings, and they have flown to tile 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 tu reduce prices, and render the access (
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac

in the ipiarto library, a volume weekly for two (
cents a day ; vve ijovv propose to give a volume, .
in the same period, for less than four cents u
tree!,-, 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 vve feel, that there is still |
verge enough fur us to aim at offering to an
inere -sing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its 1
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for 1
binding and preservation, and its price and \
form will remain the same. But vve shall, in
the first week of January, 1*37, issue a huge

America, lint on very superior paper, also , Jilt
ed with boohs, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, m their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages, Travels, Ac. t select in i
their character, joined with reading? such as j
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, vve hope to accomplish a great good ; toon- !
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to i
give to it, at at expense which shall lie no con- |
sideration to anv, a mass of reading, that, in
hook form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, nnd to do it in a manner that the most
sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of
concentration can no farther go." No hook,
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will he an

IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of

after a trial of almost 1 2 months, lias not tailed in
recuring for tile Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired ; and it is confidently believeij.
in rendering to subscribers, at lcafUjym equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratiiied tor the encouragement
manifested, desirous of making his little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge ii to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times us much matter as it now does. Thus
will lie afforded greater space for his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not bo inappropriate here to remark, that,
for 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. With increased labor and
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward; and consequently, tlie 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 m the paper; the times being hard, y.e
are willing to work as low as we can, to save
ourselves trom debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.

CAREY’S LIBRARY OF CHIOCE
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
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
their classes of readers and support
ers. And yet 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
he easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
tance from tlie emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation of 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 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 own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all tho branches of useful and popular
literature, and that iu a form adapted to the
coinfort of tin* 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 he freely put under contribution.—
W 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 be had to
the literary store# of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
man. ns the case may lie.
Whilst the body oftlie work will he a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes. Un
cover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magaz inc, and consist of sketches of men
| and things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts throughout the civilized world.—
A full and regular supply ot the literary, month
ly and hebdomadal journals of Great Britain
arid 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
l oftlie publishers are the best guarantee for the
. continuance of the entt rprize in which they
! are about to embark, as well as for the abun
i dance of tlie materials to give it value in the
| eyes of the public. As far as judicious selec-
I tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisli
| ed, as the editocof the Library is not a strait
ger to them, but has more than once obtained
i their favorable suffrages for his past literary
| efforts.
TERMS.

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 oftlie finest quality used for book work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As « tie- type will be entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when hound, will

not < tinibrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.

TilK 11 KHALI) AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state <>l
our country demands peculiar and well di
rected aeftVify’bn 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 information, at a
little delay only, after it lias been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiscwortliv, and should
in the end reward sucli persons as exert tlieir
ability tor the successful furtherance of this ob
ject. _ A
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced of the importance ol
a carelully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
\\ i kki v 111 nun imi Star, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
community, as it furnishes over one hundred
newspapers in a year, at the very low price of
two dollars. 'J his paper is made up from 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.
A 'i lie peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in tile 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 tlie Editors, valua
ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
ly exerting themselves to give strength and a
bdity to their various departments.
The Herald and Star is published e very Tucs
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 tlie Pro

Ladies Companion for 1837.
LITERARY ENTERPRIZE!!
Devoted more especially to the interest of the
Ladies !
TERMS THREE DOLLARS A YEAR.
TJI E 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 reach
of all classes of tin- community. The plan has
succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipa
tions of 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 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 all the new publications
as they issue from the press; translations from
the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian
pud Hebrew languages; original and selected
aoetry ; original music and Engravings, with
fine wood cuts and patterns ot embroidery ot
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 art* and sciences, Ac. Ac. Ac.; accounts
df colleges and American institutions; sketches
from scenery of our own country; public as
semblies, painting, popular lectures, speakers
and authors; view of olden times oftlie city of
gotliam; Broadway Analyzed; comments on
Good Society, Ac. Ac. Embellished monthly
with a splendid Steel Engraving; popular mu
sic—original and selected ; and Embroidery for
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 oftlie proprietor, and it will be—
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 tlie cheap
est and most diversified periodical issued in A
fneriea

additional number of popular writers, for origi

In conjunction with those who have, hejtfa
fore favored tin- Ladies Companion with
nal contributions.
It has ever been the aim of the proprietors
inculcate and promote the cause ol morality.—
It cannot he 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
thatof America. With tlu-se 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 would seek to de
stroy the pure doctrines of virtue and religion,
either by open opposition or secret intrigue
In sustaining the literary character of the La
dies Companion, the proprietor will not Confine
himself to tlie mere task of pleasing, without
imparting vigor to Uie mind ; but will endeavor
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
seribers with such a inelenge of invaluable
reading as the Ladies Companion; for its ex
tremely low price (three dollars a year;) and
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
tlie American people, particularly those of the
state ot New York and adjacent ones,
itkif 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 throe.
The terms are three dollars a year, payable
in advance, and no subscription taken lor less
than one year. It is published on the loth ot
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 Irietion. Ollice, lit) Wil

TJTAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, I take this method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip. ’
I do not expect to sell a right to any one with
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 by
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
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 is its best
recommendation. We timed it, and find that
with new moulds and inexperienced, hands, it
made at the rate of tw-o thousand tiiree bund
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.

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 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, 2,308 in one hour, or about 40
to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.
