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.

BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7,1837. POETR Y. 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. lllS€££ £ A A Y . 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.

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 ‘•HEAR ME FOR MY CAUSE.” 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. I* 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 lo Advertiser. 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. —— TricmVirate of Booksellers. Three : individuals, at this moment, have almost nionopolized the hookselling trade inGer •nany. The most powerful of these is Baron Cotta, the proprieter of the Allg-j emeine Zeitung. Baron Cotta is likewise, 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 pay. He is proprietor of the copyright of all the works of Goethe, Schdler,Her der and Ughland.

Muller, Novallis, and Schlegel. The third is Brockhaus, of Leipsic, proprieter, ofthe conversation Lexicon, which alone occupies more than one hundred literary men. Brockhaus is likewise the publish er of a most collossal encyclopedia,which when finished, will consist ot at least 200 volumes ; and lie is now on the point of undertaking the publication of anew dai ly paper. 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 cal Journal. 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.
