PROSPECTUS
or THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER
THIS m a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Lit-ehati he, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within tin
scope of Science ; and not professing nn en
tire disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
the main, original.
Party Polities and controversial Theology,
Us far as possible,are zealously excluded. '1 hey
are BOinetiines so blended with discussions in
literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake
of the more valuable matter to which they ad
here : but whenever that happens, they are in
cidental, only ; not primary. They are dross,
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor
porated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
their due space in the work : and it is the Ed
itor'* aim that they should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
»uch valuable truths or'interesting incidents as
are embodied in the works reviewed, —to direct
the reader's attention to books that deserve to
be read, —and to warn him against vasling time
and money upon that large 'number, which mer
it only to be burned. In this age of publica
tions that by their variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
student, impartial cniTit ism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one ot the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does irish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or botli— Historical sketch
es—-and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, and heighten
ing its interest., —may be regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And ot indigenous
Poetkv enough is published —sometimes oi no
mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talents ot our coun
try.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, hut
many. The public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes : 1 lie
soft, assuasive inlliieiice of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and lolly are rioting abroad They
should be driven by indignant rebuke, nr lash
ed by ridicule, into their lilting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion oi
our people : Every spring should be set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great eiirm}
of popular government may no longer hrooil.
like a portentous cloud, over tin* destinies of
our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
what more powerful agent cun be employed,
than a periodical, on the plan.id the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice r
The South peculiarly requires such ail a
gent. In all the Union, south id Washington,
there are but two Literary periodicals! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty ! Is tins contrast justified
by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, of the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the Notiiern :
No: for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an equality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own,beyond all doubt aiforda us, it we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense ol this local want,
that the word Sot Till.nx was engrafted on flu
name of this periodical : and not with any de
sign to nourish local prejudices, or t.i advocate
supposed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to see
the North and South hound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
new and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hope* hereafter to draw, much of lrs choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will lie deem
himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion kaow the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that bow threaten the peace of both, and to
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties ot in
ternal love.
The Southern hnitiuiv Messenger has
now reached the 13th No. of its tltinl volume.
How far it lias acted out tile ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
ever, that it falls not further short if them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will he received for less than
a Volume, and must either begin with the cur
rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV. the
first number of which will be issued on the Ist
January, 183"'.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be petid in all rases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid 'misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter lie
attended to, unless accompanied with the price
of subscription. THOMAS \V. WHITE.

IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication i t
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
usage more honored in the breach, than in the
observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. "The Em'i iumi.n i .
aftera tFial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
recuring for the, Editor, the attention and pat
ronage desired ; ami it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified lor 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 be afforded greater space for liis own lucu
brations and those of correspondents, together
with Advertisements and judicious selections.
It easy not G* inappropriate here t.. remark,that,
for want of room, some of the Rest communica
tions have been excluded, and occasionally in
teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
small a compass. With increased labor anil
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
ward ; and consequently. the snb-v
--for the second volume will be One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollarand Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
of size in the paper; the times being hard, we
are willing to work as low as we can, to Save
ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
ourselves also.
Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per
square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per

more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute the

i « LITERATURE.
TO say that this is u reading age, implies a |
desire for instruction, and the means to ;
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a J
greed; on the second, there is diversity both
,of opinion and practice. We have newspa- j

all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have!
j severally their classes of readers and support '

intellectual supply, more are still needed. Jn
addition to the reviews of the day and passing
notices of books, the people in large numbers, I
in ail parts of our great republic crave the pos !
session ol the books themselves, and details,
beyond mere passing allusion, of the progress [
ot discovery in art and science. Rut though it *
be easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis- ;
tancc from the emporium of literature, engrossl i
ing occupations which prevent personal appli- j
cation ot even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people a- i
way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment j

W ALDUS'S LITERARY OMNIBUS
A'otel and Important Literary Enterprise
\orels, Talcs. Biography, Voyages, Tratels,
Retirees, and the .Xeics of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,
“to make good 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 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 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 for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four cents a
week, 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 we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental lood j
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever j
so great a favorite, will continue to make its j
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price andi
form will remain the same. But we shall, in |
the first week of January, 18157, issue a huge
sheet, of the size of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also .fil
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
shouhl fill a weekly newspaper. By this moth- |
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; toen- j
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- j
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most j
sceptical shall acknowledge “the power of I
concentration car no farther go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an i
entirely distinct period.cal.

sheet, and of the largest size, it will contain,

of honks, and information from “the world of
letters, ' of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to
embrace a knowledge of the principal events,

with new moulds and inexperienced hands, it
made at the rate of two thousand three bund

ing ten hours in a day. it would therefore turn
out twenty-three thousand six hundred per day.

To Merchants, Agriculturists
AND GARDENERS.
GR. GARRETSON, ha. removed his
• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
| Garden Seed Wharehouse, to Flushing, L. 1.,
!New York, where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above business, and will be at all
times enabled to furnish dealers and others with
j every article in his line of business. And as
' the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under his personal attention or direction, or
! where it is access* :y to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most rwspectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending ofSeeds is a business deserv
ing much greater attention from the mercan
tile community than is at present bestowed up
on it. There is scarcely a farmer or planter
who would not purchase an assortment of su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied
by the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
of IGO per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can be neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can be put into 6 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so as to allow a
profit of 80 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Any one wishing to engage in the
vending of seeds, and not having experience,
by addressing the proprietor will have the ne
cessary information given, and they may feel
confident they will be served with none but ar
ticles of .the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to state, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Books on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture, Aboricul
ture, Rural Economy, Ac. &c. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, Fruit and
Ornamental Trees and Herbaceous Flowering
Plants. Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety; all of which can be packed so
as to he transported to any part of the United
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paid to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can be furnished in
large quantities, and where the purchase is
made for cash a discount will be allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no dif

the fullest consideration.
| MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
50,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or Mortis multicaul is, for sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, this appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common White Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
beautiful and of a rapid growth, and will thrive
well in almost any situation, and a few years
are sufficient to raise considerable fields of them
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is
as easy as the raising of wheat and much less
laborious. For a number of years past it has
been a regular and profitable employment of
many of the farmers of Connecticut, during the
| early part of the summer, and is emphatically
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a fam
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and fur a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling. Ac. The
p'ants can be paeked so as to be transported to
any part of the Uniou and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. Nov. Id

THE IIERALJ) AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state ol
our country demands peculiar and well di
reett'd activity on the part ot the press to make
known the features of tlic 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 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 of
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Hkkai.d and 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. 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 such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
be found to be in the fact that while it is not
engaged in party politics, it reserves to itsell
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 Herald and Star is published every Tups
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; 182,50 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. c - HARRINGTON A CO.
