AND GARDENERS.
R. GARRETSON, lias removed his
TANARUS% 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
every article iu'his line of business. And as
the greater part of his stock of Seeds is raised
under his personal attention or direction, or
v, here it is necessary to import from Europe,
they are procured from the most respectable
Meed 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 of su
perior Garden Seeds if tln-y could procure them
easily. And as they yield a handsome protit,
some explanations may be requisite in regard to
making sales, Ac. They are usually supplied
bv the pound or bushel, and will afford a profit
ofltlU per cent, or more, at the New York re
tail prices. For convenience they can lie neat
ly papered and labelled and assorted into boxes
(or put up in strong papers, thereby saving tin*
expense of box) each suitable fora family gar
den, which will he supplied at from $1 to $25
—the latter being sufiicicnt to crop a garden
of one acre*. Or they can be put into fi 1-4 and
12 1-2 cent papers, neatly labelled, anil assort
ed suitable for a retail dealer, each of which by
the quantity will he charged so as to allow u
profit of 80 per cent, on the New \ ork 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 he served with .none but ar
ticles of the very best quality.
The Proprietor has further to stale, that he
is enabled to furnish all kinds of Rooks on Ag
riculture, Horticulture, Floriculture. Aborieul
ture, Rural Economy, *Vc. iVe. Also, Agri
cultural Implements of Husbandry and Garden
Tools of every description. Also, 1 mil anil
Ornamental Trees nnd Herbaceous Flowering
Plants, Roses and Green House Plants of a very
great variety; all of which can lie packed so
as to be 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 lie furnished in
large quantities, arid where the purchase is
made for rush a discount will be allowed. A
liberal credit will be given where a good under
standing is established. There will be no 1 1 1 1 -

the suggestions of correspondents will receive
the fullest consideration.
MULBERRIES FOR SILK WORMS.
60,000 PLANTS of the Chinese Mulberry
or .Hunts invlticaulis, fur sale. Os all the va
rieties of Mulberries for silk, tins appears most
eminently entitled to preference, and since its
introduction into France seems destined to re
place every where the common \\ bite Mulber
ry for the nourishment of silk worms, such is
its superiority over all others. The tree is
beautiful and ofa 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, sutlicrent. 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 ofi
many of the farmers of Connecticut, dpring the i
early part oT 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 for a trifle
can procure a pamphlet which will give them
the necessary information of reeling. A' 1 . The
plants can lie packed so as to he transported to
any part of the Union and will he furnished in
quantities to suit purchasers, and at very mod
erate rates. • Nov. Hi

I one of the great objects of “YY’aldie's Library,”
j “to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
lias been accomplished ; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
-1 permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite

further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shaii continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents ads» : 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, ;
, anil a summary of the news and events of the j
day. We know, by experience and calcula-1
tion, that we can go slill further in the matter j
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still |
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
j increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.

should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth

< ARMY'S LIBRARY OF CHOICE
LITERATI RE.
T iTO say that this is a reading age, implies a
-1- desire for instruction, and the means to
gratify that desire, on the first point, all are a
greed ; on the second, there is diversity both
of opinion and practice. We have newspa
pers, magazines, reviews, 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 nl
intellectual supply, more are still needed. 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. Rut though it
he easy to ascertain and express their wants, it
is not so easy to gratify them. Expense, dis
lance 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 tlie covered literary aliment it is the oh
jeetofthe publishers of the 1 ibrary to obviate
these difficulties, and to enable every individ
uni-, at a small cost and -without any personal
effort, to obtain for his own use and that, of his
lavored friends or family, valuable works, com
plete, on all the branches of useful and popular
literature, and that in a form adapted to the
comfort of the reader.
The charm of variety, as far as it is computi
hie with morality and good taste, will he held
constantly in view in conducting the Library,
to fill the pages ofi 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 he had to
the literary stores of Continental Europe, and
translations made from French, Italian or Ger
man. as the case may he.
Whilstthe body of the work willin' a reprint,
or at times a translation of entire volumes, the
eover will exhibit the miscellaneous character
of a magazine, and consist of sketches of men
and things, 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, ns well as for the abun
dance of the materials to give it value in the
'eves of the public. As far as judicious selec
tion and arrangement are concerned, readers
will it is hoped, have reason to he fully satisfi
oil. as the editor of the Library is not a strati
gi;r to tltem. but lias more than once obtained
their favorable suit rages for his past literary
efforts. TERMS.
Tin' work will be published in weekly mini
hers, in stitched covers, each number contain
ill if twenty imperial octavo pages, with double
columns, making two volumes annually, oi
more than stio octavo pages, each volume ; and
at the expiration of every six months, subscri

of matter furnished in a single year, will be e
<pial 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 hook work,
ami of a size admirably adapted for binding.—
As the tvpe will be entirely new, and of a neat
appearance, each volume when bound, will
furnish a handsome as well ns valuable, and
not cumbrous, addition to the libraries of those
who patronize the work.
The price of the Library will he Five Dollars

A Yew Advertisement, 1
A J\ew Year, and a ft etc Inducement, for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger!
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Family Newspaper in the U States,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Weekly'Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at §2 per annum, or 1
ten subscriptions for $lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the j
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist, j
Merchant and Manufacturer.
This Journal was commenced on the first of!
January last, and, without any previous effort j
to herald its success, went into immediate and |
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent- j
cd 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'inereasing, and now bid fair to super- !
cede in extent and stability every other pub-1
lication which has existed in the literary world. I
It is generally conccdedjthot the contents of:
the Messenger embraces as much origimal
mutter as any other periodical of the present j
day. The diffusion of useful and wholesome !
information, with a view to the cultivation ofa !
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the j
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements |
have been entered into, by which the publish- !
er will be assisted in the editorial department j
by the talents of three’ or four gentlemen of j
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to !
introduce several important improvements, i
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this !
Journal are well known throughout the United j
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a !
recital of the same. The season is approach- !
ing, however, when the reading public are ex- !
pected to make their selections for the next!
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
furnish 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
for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by i

HAVING received a number of communi
cations from individuals, making enquir
ies respecting my Brick Machine, invented by
Calvin Waterman, and now in successful ope
ration in this place, T take Ibis method of an
swering them—l invite all who feel disposed
to purchase rights, to come and see the opera
tion of the machine, and if there be any one
who says he is disappointed in his expectations,
J bind myself to pay the expenses of his trip.
1 do not expect to sell a right to any one with
out their first having seen the machine; but in
order to afford an idea of its value, I annex the
following certificates, one of them signed by
two of the most experienced brick masons in
the Southern States. In my absence from
Macon, the editors of the Messenger will act
as m v 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 ttie rate of two thousand three bund
red anil sixty-eight 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 off’, and four to sand
the moulds, Ac.—together with four grown
men.' Thus fourteen hands are sufficient to
make tlje above named quantity of the most
beautiful brick per day.

1 have witnessed the performance of Mr T.
L. Smith’s new Brick-making Machine, just
put into operation in this place : and have no
hesitation in pronouncing it a great and useful
improvement on any other method ol brick
making I have ever seen, both as to the quality
of the brick and expedition in making. Rv re
quest I timed the machine for half an hour ;
the result of that trial shows that with 14 hands
the machine will turn out of beautiful and well
tempered brick, 2,3C8 in one hour, or about 40

PROSPECTUS
or the
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
THIS is a monthly Magazine devoted chief
ly to Literature, but occasionally find
ing room also for articles that fall within the
scope Os Science ; and not professing an en
tire. disdain of tasteful selections, though its
matter has been, as it will continue to be, in
the main, original.
Party Politics and controversial Theology.
as far os possible,are zealously excluded. They
are sometimes 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 : hut 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’s aim that they should have a threefold
tendency—to convey, in a condensed form,
such 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 wasting time
and money upon that l<£rge 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 criticism, governed by
the views just mentioned, is one of the most
inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries, to
him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays, and.TAi.ES, having in view utility
or amusement, or both— Historical sketch
es—and Reminiscences of events too minute
for History, yet elucidating it, aad heighten
ing its interest, —may be regarded as forming
the staple of the work. And of indigenous
Poetry enouglx is published—sometimes of no
mean strain—to manifest and to cultivate the
growing poetical taste and talents of our coun
try.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but
many. The 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 sootlfe that irrita
tion. Vice and folly are rioting abroad :—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 requires 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 ! Is this contrast justified
by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or
the actual literary taste, oif the Southern peo
ple, compared with those of the No them ?
No : for in wealth, talents, and taste, we may
justly claim at least an cijuality with our breth
ren ; and a domestic institution exclusively
our own, beyond all doubt affords us, if we
choose, twice the leisure for reading and wri
ting, which they enjoy.
Ft 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, nr 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
| hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest
j matter thence : and happy indeed will he deem
| himself, should his pages, by making each re
j gion know the other better, contribute in any
I essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds
j that now threaten the peace of both, and to
i brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fa
ternal love.
I The Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 19th No. of its third volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. lie believes, how
ever, that it falls not further short of them,
than human weakness usually makes Practice
fall sljort of Theory.
No subscription will be received for less than
; a Volume, and must either begin with the cur-
I rent one—or may commence with Vol. IV. the
iirst 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 niis-
I understanding—as no order will hereafter be
| attended to, unless? accompanied with the price
|of subscription. THOMAS YV. WHITE.

THE IIERALD AND STAR.
IT cannot be denied that the present state n(
our country demands peculiar and well di
| rected activity on the part of the press to make
I known the features of the various topics which
| are now agitating the various portions of the
i national confederacy. To supply, at a low
j price, the inland towns with information, at a
1 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
jject.
i The Editors and Proprietors of tlie Boston
! Daily Herald, 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 pf 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 such information respecting
sales as may be deemed advantageous to the
yeomanry of the land.
| The peculiarity of the Herald and Star will
Ibe found to be in the fact that while it is not
! engaged in party politics, it to itselt
| the liberty of speaking boldly and openly on
j every subject which concerns the weal of the
: whole country—and summons to aid, besides
the constant supervision of the Editors, valua
j ble assistants, who are industriously and hour
; jy exerting themselves to give strength and a
I bility to their various departments,
j The Herald and Star is published every Tucs
; 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
1 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 & CO.
