Ladies Companion tor 1837.
LITERARY ENTERPRISE!!
Devoted more especially to the interest of the
Ladies!
TERMS THREE DOLLARS A YEAR.
TH E LADIES COMPANION, a month
ly periodical, commenced on the broad
ground* of diffusing general information, far
and wide — at a price, which is within the reach
of all classes of the community. The plan lias
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 tn America ; and is daily increasing,
at an average of twenty subscribers. In the |
pages of the Ladies Companion, every class ol j
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 i
intelligence; copious extracts from American |
aud English Annuals; strictures on the drama
and fine arts ; notices of all the new publications
as they issue from the press; translations troin
the French, Spanish, Greek, German, Italian
and Hebrew languages; original and selected
poetry ; original music and Engravings, with
fine wood cuts and patterns ot embroidery ot
every description, independent of an immense
variety ol'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 ol
gothain ; 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 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 Ludies 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
Capt. Marryatt
Sheridan Knowles
Miss L. E. Lundon
Miss Gilman
Hon. Mrs. Norton

In conjunction with those who have, hereto
loro favored the Ladies Companion with origi
nal contributions.
It has ever been the aim of the proprietor to
inculcate and promote the cause ot morality.—
It cannot be denied that the periodical press
exercise a decided influence upon the moral
aid intellectual character; and where that
press is untrammelled by mercenary consider
ations or vicious principles, its effect must, he
elevating aud refining to a community', like
that of America. With these 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 tlie literary character of the La
dies Companion, the proprietor will not confine
himself to the mere task of pleasing, without
imparting vigor to the mind ; hut will endeavor
to present both, that which will be attractive
to superficial readers, as well as that which
will furnish subjects lor reflection to the stu
dent. No work in America presents its sub
scribers with sucli a uielengc of invaluable
reading as the Ladies Companion, for its ex
treinely 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 he issued at such a small rate, which
proves its undeniable claims to the support of
the American people, particularly those of the
state of New York and adjacent ones.
H 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 ol
the other Magazines, and some of them three.
The terms are three dollars a year, payable
in advance, and no subscription taken for less
than one year. It is published on the 15th 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 friction. Office, 11(1 Wil

the numerous writers of America or Europe to j

WALDIES LITERARY OMNIBUS
Novel ami Important Literary Enterprise!
Novels, Tates, Biography, I'oyages, Travels,
lit views, anil the Neirs of the Duy. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,”
“to make good reading cheaper, and to tiring
Literature to every mans door.” This object
has been accomplished ; we have given to
hooks w'ings, 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 tire 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 the same period, for less than Jour cents a
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to tlie
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. Wo know, by experience and calcula
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering 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 lie issued in a form lor
binding and preservation, and its price and
■form will remain the same. But we shall, in
the first week of January, li-37, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, hut on very superior paper, also .Jill
eil with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments ol
Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, Ac., select in
their character, joined with reading, such us
should till a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good; to en
liven 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 hook,
which appears in Wuldie’s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.

be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, Ac,., and only chargeable with News

of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.

a small compass, hut in a sullieient amount to

The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs

As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all lus pledges
to a generous public l’or many years, no tear ol

PROSPECTIS OF
Tti e lb xi» c r i m c u I.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of
a paper, the undersigned will depart Irom a
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “Tin: Experiment,”
alter a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
recuring for the Editor, the attention and pat
sonage desired ; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified 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 it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times as much matter as it now does. Thus
will he afforded greater space for his own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It may not he inappropriate hereto 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. the subscription price
for tlve second volume will be One Dollar 111
i advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
( expiration of the year. Tins, alteration, it will
; be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of size in the paper; the turns being liurtl, we
| are willing to work as low as we can, to save
ourselves fromalebt, to please our patrons and
I ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
square for each subsequent insertion.
[Jjf’Those 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

CAREY'S LIBRARY OF CIIIOCE
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 botli
°f opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, review's, 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 are still heeded. 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 the emporium of literature, engross
ing occupations which prevent personal appli
cation ol even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people a
way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment
ol 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
efiort, to obtain for his own use and that of his
favored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all the brandies of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as fur as it is compati
hie with morality and good taste, will be held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages of which the current literature
ol Great Britain, in all its various departments
ol biography, history, travels, novels and poe
try, shall be freely put under contribution.—
\\ i lll 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 ease 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 things, and notices of novelties in literature
and the ai ts 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 and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
continuance of the enlerprize 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, hut has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts.
TERMS.
The work will he published in weekly muu

per upon which the Library will he printed,
will be of the finest quality used for book work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will he entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when hound, will

Til K lIER Y 1.1) AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
rected 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 information, at a
little delay only, after it has been received in
the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
in the end reward such persons as exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject. '
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Herald, convinced ot' the importance oi
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout tlie country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Hkk.uii ami Stak, 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 ol
two dollars. This paper is made up from the
Daily Herald with such additional matter, in
the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
of the markets, and sucli information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
he found to be in the fact that while it is noj
engaged in party polities, it reserves to itself
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 exerting themselves to give strength and a
bility to their various departments.
The bletik'itS ;.ud Star is published every Twa
day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
night previous in order to ensure its speedy
transmission bv the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
advance ; $2,25 in three months; $2.50 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 »A CO.

i Calvin Waterman, now in operation in this

with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of tw'o thousand three bund
red and sixty-eight brick per hour. By mould-
I ing ten hours in a day, it would therefore turn

verbial. They have not only been the pride of
the city, hut excite the attention of all stran

; usual variety of our columns. Where it may
, be expedient we will accompany the engrav-
I ings with such descriptions of size and facts of
j history, as may he of interest.
YY’e shall begin the publication as soon as we
j get several engravings from the hands of the
artists, who are now at work upon them. On

cially increase our edition of the Courier, to
supply those who may wish to obtain and pre
serve these views.
The views will also appear regularly in the

TO PRINTERS.
E WHITE A VV.YI. HAGER, respectfully
. inform tlie Printers of the United States,
to whom they have been individually known
as established letter founders, that they have
now formed a co-partnership in said business
and an extensive experience, they hope to be
able to give satisfaction to all who may favor
them with their orders.
The introduction of machinery in place of
the tedious and unhealthy process of casting
type by hand, a desideratum by the European
founders, was by American ingenuity, a heavy
expenditure of time and money on the part of
our senior partner, first successfully accom
plished. Extensive use of the machine-cast
letter, has fully tested and established its su
periority in every particular, over those cast
by the old process.
The letter foundry business will hereafter
be carried on by the parties before named, un
der the firm of White, Hager A Cos. Their
Specimen exhibits, a complete series, from
Diamond to Sixty-four Lines Pica. The Book
and News type (icing in tlie most modern style.
White, Hager A Cos. are Agents for tlie sale
of the Smith and Rust Printing Presses, with
which they can furnish their customers at man

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Boiit9ici*ii Eiferary
ON the first of September next, will be is
sued the first number of the Southern Lit
erary Aspirant, in quarto form, medium—to be
conducted by the present Editor of the “ News
Carrier;” at which time that paper will merge
into the former.
Such a work is offered to the public from a
firm conviction of its necessity and importance;
and the editor has only to regret that abler
hands have not undertaken to accomplish so
desired an object as the advancement of Litera
ture in the South, before him. To effect which
will be his constant and unerring aim. The
Editor lias received the assurance of assistance
from many, upon whom lie relies, with a pleas
ing confidence, that himself nor the public,
through him, will be disappointed in their ex
spectations of its character and success.
We intend that our paper shall be a faithful
vehicle of general News. The cause of the
South, will be its cause, and the advancement
of her interest its chief aim and desire. Asa
paper, it will espouse no party ; the important
affairs of Government, however, will not be
suffered to pass unnoticed—and (ill sensible,
judicious communications on this subject, pro
vided they are free from party spirit, will re
ceive particular attention.
Persons obtaining ten responsible subscribers
to the Aspirant, will be entitled to one copy
gratis.
Terms. Tlie Aspirant will be published ev
ery Saturday, in the city of Macon, at Two
Dollars per annum—sl 25 for six months—
payable in advance. No subscription received
for a less period.
Advertisements will he inserted at the usual
rates.
Letters on business must be post paid to in
sure attention.
