Itrriews, and the JS'etrs oj tin Hay. It was
one of the great objects ot ‘•W aldio s Library,
‘•to makegood reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every mans door. Ibis object
lias been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carry ing
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. Wo now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the 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 lor two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than Jour cents a
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 7 . We 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 be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and
form will remain the same. Rut we shall, in
the first week of January, L~is7, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also .Jilt
ed with books, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Voyages,Travels, Ac., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill 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 povVer ot
concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldio s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, will
be issued every Friday morning, printed on pa
per of a quality,superior to any 7 other weekly 7

Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, Ac., and only chargeable with JScws
paper postage.
ltd. Literary reviews, tales, sketches, notices
of books, and information from “the world of
letters,” of every description.
'.ld. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,
political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A

The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward

until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt. The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a

Hymn of the Moravian .Wins at the Consecra
tion of Pulaski's Banner.
BY II . W . LONGFE LI.O W .
The standard of Count Pulaski, the noble
Pole, who fell in the attack upon Savannah,
during the American Revolution, was of crim
son silk, embroidered by the Moravian nuns of
Bethlehem in Pennsylvania.
When the dying flame ofdjiy
Through the chancel shot its ray,
Far the glimmering tapers shed
Faint light on the cowled head.
And the censer burning swung,
Where before the altar hung
That proud banner, which, with prayer,
Had been consecrated there ;
And the nuns’ sweet hymn was heard the while,
Sung low in the dim mysterious aisle.
Take thy banner. May it wave
Proudly o’er the good and brave,
When the battle’s distant wail
Breaks the Sabbath of our vale, —
When the clarion’s music thrills
To the hearts of these lone hills, —
When the spear in contlict shakes,
And the strong lance shivering breaks.
Take thy banner; —and, beneath
The war-cloud’s encircling wreath,
Guard it—till our homes are free—
Guard it—God will prosper thee !
In tlie dark and trying hour,
In the breaking forth of power,
In the rush of steeds and men,
His right hand will shield thee then.
Take thy banner. But when night
Closes round the ghastly fight,
If the vanquished warrior bow,
Spare him ; —by our holy vow,
By our prayers and many tears,
By the mercy that endears,
Spare him—he our love hath shared—
Spare him—as thou wouldst be spared.
Take thy banner ; —and if e'er
Thou shouldst press the soldier’s bier,
And the muffled drum should beat
To the tread of mournful feet,
Then this crimson flag shall be
Martial cloak and shroud for thee.
And the warrior took that banner proud,
And it was his martial cloak and shroud.

London and Let any man,
between the hours of four and six o’clock,
stand for twenty minutes,in Regent street,
or sit down half an hour in Hyde Park,
and lie will see more wealth roll past him
upon wheels than Rome had to bouSt ot
at tiie time of her greatest riches. We
have heard a calculation, which we be
lieve to he a very moderate one, that for
every private carriage you see in London
you may give the owner of it credit for
live thousand a year. Not that it takes
a fortune of that amount to entitle a man
to Ins carriage ; hut, if we consider that
no man would venture on it with less than
fifteen hundred—very few with so little,
and those only professional men, such as
surgeons and physicians—and recollect,
at the same time, the hundreds who have
their eight and ten thousands, many their
twenty and thirty and some their hundred
and even their two hundred thousand a
year, we may fairly assume the average as
it has been stated. Now, in one hour,
we counted on Regent street seven hun
dred and forty carriages ; last Sunday
(Heaven and Sir Andrew pardon us for
the employment!) we counted standing in
line at the Zoological Gardens in the Re
gent’s Park, eight hundred and sixty
tour !
On that day, we will venture to say,
were perambulating the walks, giving
nuts to the elephant, and haudfulls of gin
gerbread to the hears —the aggregate rep
resentation of an annual expenditure of
four million two hundred and twenty thou
sand pounds. But tins is nothing. At
the same hour that you have counted the
equipages in Regent Street, you discover
from a friend who compares notes with
you, that he could scarcely leave the Park
from the string of carriages enclosing it
three rows deep. Another at the same
moment has had his cap damaged in thread
ing lus way through the crowd of vehi
cles in Piccadilly. And each ofthe lines
of streets leading up to the Regent’s Park,
from Harley street to Broker street, are
equally swarming. There were certain
ly individuals at Rome as rich as our own
Dukes of Sutherland or Buccleuch ; but
we deny in tutu that any thing like this
degree of wealth was equally diffused.—
And a step or two below this, the obser
ver is still more struck with the endless
ness of the riches of London. Any one
of moderate fortune, say from seven hun
dred to a thousand a year, who has had
occasion to look out for a house, lias an
idea forcibly impressed on him, that he
is beyond all question the poorest man
within ten miles, of St. Paul’s. He pass
es through mile after mile of capital hou-
ses, all above his mark, and, almost in
despair, he turns in another direction.
But the line stretches quite as far to the
east as it did to the west, lie tries the
suburbs. Thousands upon thousands of
comfortable quarters meet his eye ; long
stretches of streets leading from Oxford
street all the way to Kensington Green,
Dulwich, Brixton—all occupied—all in
tidiest order—where no person could pos
sibly live under a very considerable in
come.—He turns, as a final effort, to the
north ; he walks through the same unin
terrupted row of middle rank residences
up to llighgate and Hornsey—to the
west he arrives at Kensington, Brompton,
and Chelsea—and at last, like a sensible
man, finding that he is not rich enough
to he one of the cockneys he formerly
despised, he deposits himself and hisport
mantua on the top ofthe Norwich coach,
and betakes himself to his native shade
in the neighborhood of Bury St. Edmunds.
Where docs all this money come from ?
for it is impossible for all of it to he done
upon tick.
And this brings us to the same point
to which a view of the gluttony of Vitellus
brings the erudite Broticr with regard to
the riches of old Rome. The learned
annotator takes his estimate from the for
tunes of two or three individuals, and
the question of individual wealth we are
willing to concede. He says he will take
his example, not from Cressus, the richest
man of his day with the exception of
Sylla, hut from one Cains Liciuius Clau
dius Isodorus—a man “satis ignobilis”—
whose will was proved eighteen hundred
and forty five years ago, in the Preroga
tive Court of Rome, and his property
was sworn to in the usual form. In spite
of great losses in the civil war, he left
lour thousand one hundred and sixteen
slaves ; three thousand six hundred yoke
of oxen; of other cattle fifty seven thou
sand head ; and in hard cash four hun
dred and sixty one thousand nine hun
dred and twenty pounds, twelve shillings
and sixpence. Now, taking the slaves at
the low rate of thirty pounds a piece, the
oxen at eighteen pounds a yoke, and the
cattle of all sorts and kinds at three shil
lings a head, we may set down the said
ignobilis gentleman as cutting up to his
expectant heirs to the tune of seven hun
dred and thirty five thousand seven hun
dred and eighty pounds, which, after all,
is not near so much as has been left by
many gentlemen who have been the arti
ficers of their own fortunes within the last
few years in this very town. It is gener
ally believed that Sir Robert Peel had a
list furnished to him of fifteen hundred
of his supporters whose united fortunes
would pay off the national debt, and this,
taking the debt at seven hundred and fif
ty millions, gives a neat little property to
each of them of five hundred thousand
pounds. [Arbridged from Blackwood’s

GOOD SENSE.
“Good sense,” said lie one day to Mal
travers, as they were walking to and fro
at De Montaigue’s villa, by the margin
of the lake, “is not a merely intellectual
attribute ; it is rather the result of a just
equilibrium of all our faculties, spiritual
and moral. The dishonest, or the toys
of their own passions, may have genius ;
hut they rarely, if ever have good sense
in tiie conduct of life. They inay often
win large prizes, hut it is by a game of
chance, not skill. But the man whom
I perceive walking an honorable and up
right career—just to others, and also to
himself (for we owe justice to ourselves—
to the care of our fortunes, our character
—to the management of our passions) is
a more dignified representative of his Ma
ker than the mere child of genius. Os
such a man, we say he has good sense ;
yes, hut lie has.also integrity, self-respect,
and self-denial. A thousand trials which
his sense' braves and conquers are tempta
tions also to his probity—his temper—in
a word, to all the many sides of his com
plicated nature. Now, Ido not think he
will have this good sense any more than a
drunkard will have strong nerves, unless
he he in the constant habit of keeping
his mind clear from the intoxication of
envy, vanity, and the various emotions
that dupe and mislead us. Good senseis
not, therefore, an abstract quality or a
solitary talent ; hut it is the natural re
sult of the habit of thinking justly, and
therefore seeing clearly, and is as differ
ent from the sagacity that belongs to a
diplomatist or attorney, as the philosophy
of Socrates differed from the rhetoric of
Gorgias. Asa mass of individual excel
lences make up this attribute; in a man,
so a mass of such men thus characterized
give a character to a nation. Your Eng
land is, therefore, renowned for its good
sense, but it is renowned also for the ex
cellencies which accompany strong sense
in an individual—high honesty and faith
in its dealings—a warm love of justice
and fair-play—a general freedom from the
violent crimes common on the Continent,
and the energetic perseverance in enter- 1

prise once commenced, which results
from a hold and healthful disposition.”
The Successful Lover. “Maltra
vers had not thought twice in his life
whether he was handsome or not ; and,
like most men who have a knowledge of
the gentler sex, he knew that beauty had
little to do with engaging the love of wo
men. The air, the manner, the tone, the
conversation,the something that interests,
and something to he proud of, these are
the attributes of the man made to he lov
ed. And the beauty-man is, nine times
out of ten, little more than the oracle of
His aunts, and the “sitch a love” of the
housemaids.”
Spanish Heroism. Fatigued and ex
hausted by forced marches, the regiment
to which Captain Korff belonged arrived
before the monastery of Figueiras in
Spain. The general of the regiment, a
Frenchman, sent an officer to demand of
the prior the necessary refreshment for
the men as well as for the staff, consisting
of about twenty officers. The prior, with
some of the monks, came out to meet
the general, assuring him that the inhab
itants of Figueiras would provide for the
soldiers, hut that he himself would pre
pare a frugal meal for the staff. The pri
or's oiler was accepted. Captain Korff
received from the general some commis
sions for the regiment, and about an hour
afterwards it was announced by the prior
that the dinner was served up in the re
fectory of the monastery. The general,
who was aware that the French in Spain
had reason to he on their guard in eating
and drinking what was offered by the na
tives, invited the prior to dine with them;
he and two other monks accepted the in
vitation in such a manner as to leave no
doubt that lie felt himself flattered by it.
After the officers had taken their seats,
the prior said grace, carved, eat out of ev
ery dish first, and with his two bretheren
poured out the wine, and drank plentiful
ly with his guests. It was not till toward
the end of the repast that Captain Korff’
returned, having been detained by the
commissioners of the general longer than
he expected. During that interval lie
found an opportunity to take some refresh
! merit, and only participated in the lively
i conversation of the company, hosts, as
i well as guests, at the monastery. The
general, in particular, expressed his satis
faction to the prior, whose kind reception
had surpassed all expectation. Suddenly
however, the cheerfulness of the friar
was changed into profound seriousness ;
he rose from his seat, thanked the com
pany for the honor they had done him,
and concluded with asking if any ol them
had affairs to settle in this world, adding
l with emphasis, ‘This gentlemen, is the
last meal you and I shall take on this
earth. In an hour we shall all he before
the judgment seat of God.’ Cold, trem
bling, horror seized the amazed guests,
for the prior and his two monks had poi
soned the wine in which they had pledg
ed the French officers All the antidotes
given by the French physicians were in
i vain. In less than an hour every one of
them had ceased to live.

The Sun-Flower. The Sun-Flower
jis a plant of much greater value than is
generally known. Instead of a few be
ing permitted to grace a parterre, and
| considered only as a gaudy flower, expe
rience warrants my saying it should be
cultivated by every planter and farmer as
part of his provision crop. It can be
turned to profitable account on all our
plantations; for certain purposes it is
more valuable than any other grain known
to us ; inasmuch as it can he made to
yield more to the acre in exhausted soils,
with little labor, and with greater pros
pect of success.
Its seed are wholesome and nutritious
food for poultry, cattle and hogs, and ve
ry much relished by them.
From the seed an oil is obtained, with
great facility, as delicate, it is believed,
as that of olives.
They are also pectoral. A tea made
I of them is quite as effective as flaxseed, or
any other, in catarhal affections. On one
occasion, this tea, sweetened with honev,
was of so much more service to me than
the prescriptions of my physician, that I
attributed my early restoration in health
to its agency alone. Certainly a favor a-*
hie change did not occur until 1 used this
tea, which I did upon the recommenda
tion of a citizen of one ofthe upper coun
ties ol' North Carolina.
Its leaves and stalk, in the green state!
are preferred by cattle to any other prov- j
endcr, I have thrown green grass and sod- 1
der in one heap and sun-flower leaves in I
another, to try the cattle, and they have j
ever commenced eating the lattter first ; j
this 1 have tried often with the same re- j
suit. The whole plant, cut up in the!
green state and boiled with cotton seed, |
or a little meal, affords a delicious food :
for cattle and hogs.
Walking against time. On Friday
and Saturday last, a feat was performed
at Allen’s course, in the pedestrian line,
that stands unparellcd in this country. I
A purse of £3OO was raised for Mr. Da- j
vaiil Webb, provided he could walk the j
distance of 100 miles in ‘.it hours ; and j
previous to the day of starting, this sum ;
was offered to any other person who
would pay a certain amount as entrance j
money, and accomplish it in less time!
than Webb. Accordingly, on the after
noon of Friday, a person by the name of
Jacob Schively, who is employed at the
Girard College, and who had been enga
ged at his work until noon, made appli
cation to enter for the purse, but not hav
ing funds with him to pay his entrance,
could not he allowed to walk as a com
petitor of Wehh for the money hut was
informed by the proprietor that if he
could perform the distance in the time
mentioned, he would make him up a purse
of £sl). When Schively started, nt 11 min
utes after 5, on Friday, Webb had walked
one mile, which the former made up the
next morning by eight o’clock, and on the
70th mile Webb gave out, much exhausted,
and behind time, leaving Schivelry to per
form the distance, which he accomplish
ed in 11) 1-2 minutes less than 114 hours.
The company present made up a purse
of £IOO, which was presented to him.
Although much fatigued at the expiration
of the feat, lie was heard to sav that lie
should commence work again on Monday'
morning.—[U. S. Gazette.
Popping the Question. What ques
tion ? any kind of a question. There is
nothing like choosing a proper time,
place, and manner. Circumstances, tri
fling in themselves, may alter the most
important calculations. By asking a fa
vor in the morning when it should he
done at night, by selecting a dull day,
when every body is in had humor you
spoil every thing, and deserve had luck
for your want of discrimination.
Ii you want a man to do some desper
ate, dark, or bloody deed, ask him by all
means of a rainy day before dinner, when
lie is hungry and ferocious. But if you
wish the same individual to do a humane
benevolent, good-naturned action, choose
your time of asking accordingly. There is
no describing the cheerful influence
which a bright blue sky, a glorious sun
shine, and a balmy air, have upon the
dispositions of men and women.—[Buffa

A
Presence of Mind. Lieut F. Hughes,
of the 17th Light Cavalry, had a narrow
escape from a tiger on the 23d of March,
between the station of Jqbhlepore and
Kamptee. He was in the act of stooping
to get a flower from the jungle, about, two
hundred yards from the roadside, when
he heard a rustling noise behind him.
He immediately turned his head to see
what it was, when he beheld a huge tiger
within a few yards of him. In the fright
and hurry of the moment, when endeav
oring to rise, he trod oil the skirts of his
dressing gown and fell backwards. He
was at the same moment seized by the
brute, which caught him over the waist
band of his trousers in its mouth. In
this position the beast was dragging him,
when he got his hand into his pocket and
drew a small double-barrelled pistol,which
lie placed as direct for the animal’s mouth
as the position in which lie lay would, ad
mit, fired, and in an instant was free ; for
the tiger made a tremendous spring for
ward, carrying with it the clothes which
it grasped.
Strange Luxury. In some of the
continental public markets, frogs are ex
hibited for sale in great abundance. Still
the supply is inadequate to the demand ;
and a dish of those precious reptiles can
with difficulty he procured for less than
twenty shillings. The edible frog is sel
dom seen in England, but is common in
France, Italy and Germany. It has also
been seen in Forfarshire in Scotland. On
the continent, these frogs are caught with
nets, with hooks hated with worms, or by
long rakes with close set teeth, which are
dragged rapidly through the water. Their
hind legs only are fricaseed, the fore legs
and livers being put into soup. The bull
frog, of croaking notoriety, is occasional
ly dressed and brought to table in Amer-1
ica, where the hind quarters are consider
ed by some to form an excellent dish, but j
the majority of individuals regard them
as of too tough and firbrous a texture ev-|
er to be eaten for their intrinsic merits.

the proprietor of six literary periodicals!
of a high standing, and of several others
of an inferior rank, and is said to have!
from three to four hundred editors in his

of all the works of Goethe, Schdler,Her

literary grandees is Reimer, of Berlin,
who owns the copyright of all the works
of Jean Paul, Tiek, Klest, Johanes V.

third is Brockhaus, of Leipsic, proprieter,
ofthe conversation Lexicon, which alone
occupies more than one hundred literary
men. Brockhaus is likewise the publish

when finished, will consist ot at least 200

Statistics of Health. It appears
that in manhood when one person in one
hundred dies annually, two are constant
ly sick. Calculating from this datum and
the yearly mortality of England and
Wales, the total number constantly disa
bled by sickness will be a‘. least 600,000
persons ; and if the same proportion he
extended to Scotland and Ireland, 1,130,-
iOOO. Some tables prepared from the
| facts of the Portsmouth dock yard, give
these results : In the year, one man in
six is seriously hurt—two in five fall ill.
Each man on an average has an attack
of illness, either spontaneous, or caused
by external injury, once in every two years;
and at an average each disease lasts four
teen days. And from returns from other
yards, it would seem that the sick time of
the dock yard laborers is seven to emht
per cent of their life time. The elabor
ate returns of the East India Company's
laborers give a lower proportion. [Medi

Balloons. —The Emancipation, a Bel
gian Journal, under the head of “Articles
Communique,” contains the following :
“An unexpected event, a fact, the exis
tence of which appeared chimerical, is at
length realized. The art of directing
balloons is discovered. This sublime
covery, the consequences of which are -
incalculable, is due to the profound stu
dies and researches of Mr. William Van
Esc hen, a native of Brussels. /The sys
tem ot the author, is equally simple and
ingenious, and the effect is infallible. By
means ol Ins application, and with anew"
kind of balloon also invented by him, the
ajronaut will he able, in the usual state of
the atmosphere, to proceed at pleasure
with the greatest rapidity. Only in case
of contrary and violent winds the bdHoon
will not make a rapid progress. In this
respect it resembles steamboats ; it re
sists the currents (of air,) and in some
manner comes over them.”
The Celebrated Rosetta Stone.
Henry James, Esq. now in Europe, has
presented to the Curators of the Albany
Institute a copy (sac smile) in plaster, of
this celebrated Egyptian relic, found at
Rosetta in Egypt, which is the first
time, we believe that any of our wealthy
young men making the tour of Europe,
ever thought of contributing so really val
uable an acquisition, as probably we* have
no copy of it in our country, except per
haps in some engraving. The three in
scriptions on this stone (Greek, Cauptic
and Hieroglyphic) are what led Dr. Young
ot Oxford, and afterwards tho lamented
Champollion, of Paris, to the discovery,
ot the key to the hieroglyphic alpalibet,
which lias caused such sensation in the
literary word. Mr. James deserves much
praise for his gift, so worthy of his culti
vated mind.
The way to win a kiss. The lato
Mr. Jarvey Bush amused us once with a
story told of a brother barrister on the
Leicester circuit. As thG coach was a
bout starting after breakfast the modest
limb of the law approached the landlady,
a pretty Quakeress, who was seated be
hind the bar, and said lie could not think
of going without giving her a kiss.
“Friend,” said she, “thee must not do it.”
Oh, by heavens, I will, replied the eager
barrister. “Well friend, as thou has
sworn, thee may do it, but thee must not
make a practice of it.”
There never was an instance of a man
of a shrinking disposition having accom
plished great things. Drones or stupid
beings, who will not, or possibly cannot
exert themselves, may be got along with;
hut a person who is forever tinkering a
bout something, and will be constantly
delving at that and the other, with des
perate industry, and yet flinches when
he arrives at some difficulty he cannot see
through, such an one we desire no ac
quaintance with ; give us the man who
having made up his mind to arrive at a
great point, dauntlessly pushes onward *
through every obstacle.
