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. - ■ • NEW PRINTING BrunsUnck, ffirorQfa.

It was 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 cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give, j 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.

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.

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.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. 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. The work will he published in weekly nuni hers, in stitched covers, each number contain ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double columns, making two volumes annually, of more than 521) octavo pages, each volume; and at tin- 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 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 iu..i sli a handsome as well as valuable, and not < tinibrous, addition to the libraries of those who patronize the work. The price oftlie Lile ; ry will be Five Dollars per annum, payable in advance. A commission of til) per cent, will be allowed to agents ; and any agent or postmaster, fur nishing five subscribers, and remitting the a lnounl of subscription, shall lie entitled to the commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of tin work for one year. Editors of newspapers, to whom this pros pectus is forwarded, will please insert the a hove as often as convenient, and send a copy of their paper containing the advertisement i marked, and entitle themselves to a free ex change for one year.

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 i prietors. HARRINGTON & CO. Boston, 1837. $lO Rcw.'ii’ri.

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.

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.

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. JOHN SPRINGER. DAVID F. WILSON. 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.
