• wholesale and retail Agricultural and
Garden Seed Wharehouse. to Flushing. L. 1.,
New York,'.where he intends dealing exten
sively in the above basinets, and will be at all
timet enabled to furnish dealers and other* with
every article in liis line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under hit personal attention or direction, or
where it is'necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Seed establishments there, and their qualities
being tested to his own satisfaction, their accu
racy and vitality are expressly warranted.
The vending of Seeds 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 ot su
perior Garden Seeds if they could procure them j
easily. And as they yield a handsome profit, j
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, &.c. They arc usually supplied
bv the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
of 1(H) per cent, or more, at Ihe New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can he neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or j>ut up in strong papers, thereby saving the
expense of box) each suitable fora family gar
den, which will be supplied at front $1 to $25
—the latter being sufficient to crop a garden
of one acre. Or they can he put into (i 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent pipers, neatly labelled, and assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will be charged so ns to allow a
profit of 80 per cent, on the New York retail
prices. Aliy 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 Ac. 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 be transported to any part of the United
States, West Indies or elsewhere. Great at
tention has been paul to obtaining both from
foreign countries and at home, the finest agri
cultural seeds, all of which can he furn ished 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 he no dif
ficulty in arranging this point to mutual con
venience, and on this, and every other subject,
the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinesp Mulberry
©r Morns multicaulis, 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 i
beautiful and of a rapid growth, and will thrive .
well in almost any situation, and a few years j
are sufficient to raise considerable fields ol tlivin
in full vigor, sufficient to support an immense
number of silk worms. The raising of silk is j
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 ol
many of the farmers ofConnccticut, during the
early part of the summer, and is emphatically j
a business of the farmer—of the cottage—a
simple labor, in which females and children
who do not essentially aid in supporting a lam- !
ily may turn their services to profit. Every
family of the most limited means can raise the
mulberry and produce cocoons, and for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information oi reeling. Ate. The
plants can be packed so as to he transported to
anv part of the Uniou and will be furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod- ,
crate rates. Nov. Hi

further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac

in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, lor less than four cults 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

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

CAREY'S LIBRARY OP CHOICE
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
j greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
jof opinion and practice. We have newspa
| pors, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of
I all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have
j severally their clusses-of readers and support
j ers. And yet copious as are . these means ol
, intellectual supply, more are still needed. In
i addition to the review sos 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
be 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 of even messages to libraries and book
sellers, are so many causes to keep people al
way from the feast of reason and the enjoyment
of the covered literary aliment It is the oh
jeet of the publishers of the Library to obviate '
these diiliculjics, and to enable every individ !
uni, at a small cost and without any personal j
etl'ert, to obtain for his own use and that of his j
favored friends or family, valuable works, com- ,
piete, on all the branches of useful and popular j
literature, and that in a form adapted to the 1
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is compati
bie 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.—
With 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 Gor
man. as the case mav bo.
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 tilings, and notices of novelties in literature
and the arts 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 resources and extensive correspondence
of the publishers are the best guarantee for the
continuance of the enterprize 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 be fully satisli
ed, as the editor of the Library i.j not a stran
ger to them, blit has more than once obtained
their favorable suffrages for his past literary
efforts. TERMS.
The work will be published in weekly nuin j
bers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ing twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, of
more than Still octavo pages, each volume ; anil
at the 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
qua! 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 of the finest quality used for book work,
and of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the type will be entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
furnish a handsome as well as valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price of the Library will be Five Dollars
per annum, payable in advance.
A commission of 20 per cent, will be allowed
to agents; and any agent or postmaster, fur
nishing five subscribers, and remitting the a
mount of subscription, shall be entitled to the
commission of 20 per cent, or a copy of the
work for one year.

pectus is forwarded; will please insert the a
hove as often as convenient, and send a copy

A lew Advertisement,
A .Yew Year, and a .Yew Inducement, for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger!
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Family Newspaper in the U Slates,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Weekly Messenger is
published every .tVednrsday, on beautiful white
paper, ofthe largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten snhscriptions for $lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist,
Merchant and Manufacturer.
This Journal was commenced on the first of
January last, and. without any previous effort
to herald its success, went into immediate and
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent
ed popularity which attended its projection
that, in about six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists!
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which has existed in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that tlie contents of
the Messenger embraces as much origimtil
matter as any other periodical of the present
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements
have been entered into, by which the publish
er will he assisted ill the editorial department
by the talents of three ■or four gentlemen of
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ot the same. The season is approach
ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections lor the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
.urnisli a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed :
A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage
paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger
ibr one year! A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for
one year 1 Two dollars, paid in advance, is
Ihe price of an individual subscription for one
year One dollar, in advance . will pay for a
single subscription for six months only.
A five dollar note will pay one year’s sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also

HAVING received a number of commnni
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting iny Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and non in successful ope
ration in this place, 1 take '.his method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to con.e and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be anyone
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
I hind 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 afiord an idea of its value, 1 annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. 11l 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 two thousand three liund
red and sixty-eiglu 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 oft’, and four to sand
the moulds, &c. —together with four grown
men. Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make the above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

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 1
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful 1
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 ; ;
1 the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
: the machine will turn out of beautiful and well j
i tempered brick, 2,3(jd in one hour, or about 40 j
1 to the minute. JNO. RUTHERFORD.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also fox articles that fall within the
scope of Science ; and not professing an en
i 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,
as far as possible .are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes so blended with discussions in
I literature or in moral science, otherwise unob
jectionable, ns 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 dress
tolerated only because it cannot well be ser
j ved from the sterling ore wherewith it is inccr
! porated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy
; their due space in the work : and it is the Ed
j itor's aim that they should have a threefold
j tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
! such valuable truths or interesting incidents as
( are embodied in the works reviewed, — to d.rect
; the reader’s attention to books that deserve to
be read,—and to warn him against wasting time
and money upon that large number, which mer
it only to be burned. In tliis age of publica
, turns that by their variety and multitude dis
tract and overwhelm every undiscriminating
student, impartial criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, ts'
him who docs icish to discriminate.
Essays, and Tales, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historic al sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —may he regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And of indigenous
Poetry enough is published—sometimes of no
mean strain—to manifest and to <*ultivate the
j growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
i trv.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but
many. Tlie public mind is feverish and irri
tated still, from recent political strifes The
soft, assuasive influence of Literature is need
ed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are riolingabroad :—They
should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lash
ed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Igno
rance lords it over an immense proportion of
our people Every spring should be set in
motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to in
crease their number ; so that the great enemy
of popular government may no longer brood,
like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of
our country. And to accomplish all these ends,
what more powerful agent can be employed,
than a periodical, on the plan of the Messenger;
if that plan be but carried out in practice ?
The South peculiarly requ res such an a
gent. In all the Union, south of Washington,
there are but two Literary periodicals ! North
ward of that city, there are probably at least
twenty-five or thirty 1 Is this 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 Nothern ?
No : for in w’ealtli, 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 affords us, if wc
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
It was from deep sense of this local want,
that the word Southern was engrafted on the
name of this periodical : and not with any de
sign to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate
supposed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see
the North and South bound endearingly togeth
er forever, in the silken bands of mutual kind
ness and affection. Far from mediating hostil
ity to the North, he has already drawn, and he
hoj.es hereafter to draw, much of )iis choicest
matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem
himself, should his pages, by making each re
gion know the other better, contribute in any
essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
that now threaten the peace of both, and to
brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 11,th No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not tor the Editor to say. He believes, how
ever. that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall short of Theory.
No subscription will be 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, 1838.—The price is $5 per Volume,
which must be paid in all cases at the time of
subscribing. This is particularly adverted to
now, to avoid misapprehension, or future mis
understanding—as no order will hereafter be
attended to. unless accompained with the price

TIIE HERALD 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
i the Atlantic cities, is praiseworthy, and should
| in the end reward such persons »s exert their
ability for the successful furtherance of this ob
ject.
The Editors and Proprietors of the Boston
Daily Ilerald, convinced of the importance ol
a carefully conducted press to disseminate in
formation throughout the country, some weeks
since issued the first number of the Semi
Weekly Herald and Star, which they have
found to be suitable to the wants of the inland
1 community, as it furnishes over one liundreiL
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
j the shape of stories, legends, poetry, statements
of the markets, and such information respecting
i sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
i yeomanry of the land.
The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
j be found to be in the fact that while it is not
| engaged in party politics, it reserves to itselt
j the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
I 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
j lv exerting themselves to give strength and a
! bility to their various departments.
I The Herald and Star is published every Tucs
} day and Friday morning, and mailed on the
i night previous in order to ensure its speedy
, transmission by the mails.
The price is Two Dollars a year payable in
1 advance ; $2.25 in three months; $2,50 in six
months ; $3 at the end of the year. -The best
f method to ensure the reception of the paper is
to enclose $2 in a letter addressed to the Pro--
' prietors. HARRINGTON 4 CO,
