A Hen Advertisement, .7 ,Ycu> Year, and a .Yew Inducement, for sub scribing to tlw If'eekly . Messenger ! THE cheapest an<l 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 per annum, or ten subscriptions for $lO. Its contents are adapted to the wants of the Fanner, 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 the contents of the Messenger embraces as much origimal mutter as any other periodical of the present t 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 be assisted in 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 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 mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for .one yeai ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is the price of an individual subscription for one year One dollar, in advance, will pay for a single subscription for six months only. A Jive dollar note will pay one year's sub scription to the Weekly Messenger and also the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by W.

At the expiration of the term subscribed for ami paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be discontinued, unless the advance money is for warded previous to that time,and the subscrip tions renewed, in the manner above specified. It will boa great saving to the publisher, and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, if the individual forwarding the sum renilired for four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they are located together, will allow the package to be addressed to the Postmaster, or someone a mon<r themselves, who being made' acquainted withthe names of the Club, can as readily dis tribute them as. if directed separately.

[From the Knickerbocker.] THE BARON’S LAST BANQUET. BY ALBERT G. GREENE. O’er a low couch the setting sun had thrown its latest ray, Where, in his last strong agony, a dyinw war rior lay ; The stern old Baron Rudiger, whose fame had ne’er been bent By wasting pain, till time and toil its iron strength had spent. ‘•They come around me here, and say, my days ’ of life are o’er, That I shall mount my noble steed, and lead my band no more ; They come, and to my beard they dare tell me now that I, Their own liege lord and master born—that I, ha! ha! must die! “And what is death? I’ve dared him oft be fore the Paynim spear; Think ye lie’s entered at my gate, come to seek me here ? I’ve met him—faced him—scorned him—when the fight was raging hot; 111 try his might; 1 brave his power, defy, and fear him not! ■•IIo! sound the tocsin from my power, and fire the culverin ! Bid each retainer arm with speed—call every vassal in ; Up with my banner on the wall—the banquet board prepare, Throw wide the portal of my hall, and bring my armor there!” An hundred hands were busy then, the ban quet forth was spread, And rang the heavy oaken floor with manv a martial tread ; While from the rich dark tracery, along each vaulted wall, Lights gleamed on harness, plume and spear, o’er the proud old gothic hall. Past hurrying through the outer gate, the mail ed retainers poured, On through the portal's frowning arch, and thronged around the board; While at its head, within his dark, curved oak en chair of state, Armed cap-a-pie. stern Rudiger, with girded falchion, sate. •'•Fill every beaker up, my men!—pour forth the cheering wine ; There’s life and strength in every drop—thanks giving to the vine ! Are ye all there, my vassals true?—mine eyes are waxing dim ; Fill round, my tried and fearless ones, each goblet to the brim !” “Ye're there, but yet 1 see ye not; draw forth each trusty sword, And let me hear your faithful steel clash once around your board : l hear it faintly—louder j et! —what clogs my breath ; Up all ! and shout, for Rudiger, “Defiance un to Death!” Bowl rang to bowl, steel clanged to steel, and rose a deafening cry, That made the torches flare around, and shook the flags on high : “110, cravens! do ye fear him—slaves, traitors! have ye down ? Ho, cowards! have ye 101 l me to meet him here alone!" “But I defy him—let him come!" Down raim the massy cup, While from its sheath the ready blade came flashing half way up; And with the black and heavy plumes scarce trembling on his head, Tin •re, in his dark, carved oaken chair, old Rudiger sat, dead ! When the Duke of York (the brother of George III.) was sent to sea, Capt. Howe equipped his young ‘ eleve’ in the true Portsmouth fashion ; the captains of the navy then present attended him in their boats on board, where they were j severally introduced to the young midship ! man. An anecdote is told, which, being I highly characteristic ot the true simplicity i of seamen, is not unlikely to have occiircd. | A sailor, standing with some others on the forecastle, and observing what was going on, whispered his messmate, ‘ The young gentleman a n’t over civil, as 1 thinks; look if he don't keep his hat on before all the captains !’ ‘Why,yon stupid lubber,’ replied the other, ‘ where should he learn manners, seeing as how he never j was at sea before V epigram.

[From tlie Foreign Quarterly Review.] How the Schildburghcrs purchased a mous cr, and with it their own ruin. “Now it happened that there were no cats in Schilda, and so many mice, that nothing was safe, even in the bread-basket; for whatsoever they put there, was sure to be gnawed or eaten; and this grieved them sorely. And upon a time there came a traveller into the village, carry ing a cat in his arms, and he entered the hostel. The host asked him, what sort of a beast is that?’ Said he, ‘lt is a mouser.’ Now the mice at Schilda were so quiet and so tame, that they never fled before the peo ple, but ran about all day long witiiout the slightest fear. So the traveller let the cat run, who, in the sight of the host, soon caught numbers of mice. “ Now when the people were told this by the host, they asked the man whether the mouser was to be sold, for they would pay him well for it. lie sai 1, ‘lt certainly was not to be sold, but seeing that, it would be so useful to them, he would let them have it, if they would pay him what was right;’ and he asked a hundred flofins ' for it. The boors were glad to find that he asked so little, and concluded a bargain with him, he agreeing to take half the | money down, and to come again in six months to get the rest. As soon as the ! bargain was struck on both sides, they i gave the traveller the half of his money, and carried the mouser into the granary where (hey kept their corn, for there were most mice there. The traveller went off with the money at full speed, for he feared greatly lest they should repent them of the bargain and want their money back again; and as lie went aloug lie kept looking behind him, to see that no one was following him. “ Now the boors bad forgotten to ask what the cat was to be fed upon; so they sent one after him in baste, to ask him the question. But when he with the gold saw that someone was following him, he hastened so much the more, so that the boor could by no means overtake him; whereupon be called out to him from afar | oil', ‘ What does it eat ? what does it eat ?’ | ‘What you please, what you please,’ quoth the traveller. But the peasant understood him to say, ‘ Men and beasts, men and beasts;’ therefore lie returned homeward in great atlliction, and said as much to his worthy masters. On learning this they became greatly alarmed, and said, ‘When it has no more mice to eat it will eat our cattle; and when they are gone it will eat us. To think that we should lay out our good money in buying such a thing ?' So they held council together,and resolved that the cat should he killed; hut no one would venture to lay hold of it for that purpose. W hereupon it was determined to burn the granary and the cat in it, see ing that it was better they should suffer a common loss, than all lose their life and limb. So they set lire to the grauarv. “ But when the cat smelt the fire, it sprang out of the window and fled to an other house ; and the granary was burned to the ground. Never was their sorrow greater than that of the Schildburghcrs, when they found that they could not kill the cat. They counselled with one anoth er, and purchased the house to which the cat had fled, and burned that also. But the cat spang out upon the roof and sate there, washing itself, and putting its paws behind its ears, after the manner of cats. And the Schildhurghers understood there by, that the cat lifted up its hands and swore an oath, that it would not leave their treatment of it unrevenged. Then one ol them took a long pole and struck at the cal, hut the cat caught hold of the pole and began to clamber down it; where upon the people grew greatly alarmed and ran away, and left the fire to burn as it might. And because no one regarded the fire, nor sought to put it out, the whole village was burnt to a house; and notwithstanding that, the cat escaped. And the Schildburghcrs fled, with their wives and children, to a neighboring forest. And at this time was burned their chancery, and all the papers therein: which is the reason why their history is ! not to be found described in a more regular ' manner.” Wiiat the Dims Think ok Us. What do they think, those sedate, reflecting an imals, of the world in genera), and New York' in particular? It is all folly to pre tend, when we see a clever spaniel, a se date mastiff, or an ingenuous mongrel, i composed in a posture of elegant rest, that lie is thinking ot nothing hut tin* bricks which arc nearest his visual organs. ] It is all nonsense to contend that in such a state of quiescence he is merily allowing liis food to digest. He is thinking of some thing, depend upon it. “He is nothin** of a critical.” He is watching the conduct ot bipeds, and making his own comments j thereon. We have always been of this belief—and passed one ot these sedate, reflecting quardrupeds with more trepida- ; tiun than a young woman runs the gaunt- ; [let to the church door of a Sunday, be ! tween the parallel line of scapegrace ! youths in pantaloons; who place them selves there to count the girl’s ringlets as they pass. They do think; dogs do most assuredly think—hut what do they think j of? It is a deeply interesting inquiry, and ■ worthy not only of our asking, hut of our j solving. Professorships are established in i colleges for the prosecution of enquiries less important. Books are written upon ; subjects less momentous. Arguments are j held, and men go to loggerheads individu | ally, or in masses as nations, about ques ! lions of less consequence. The inquir j ing mind is agitated. Curiosity is awak ened. Philosophy is put to its proof. Nut j ura! history is interested. We must know what the dogs are thinking of. Go to the ant, thou sluggard!” saitli Scripture. In all reverence to Solomon, we fancy he had 1 better send us to the dogs. Who cai: study l a pismire’s face? Who can avoid studying a dog’s? A pismire is next to a nonentity. A dog is a citizen—or next to it. Do bipeds have hard times? Think ol dog days, and ask if canines do not also expe rience pressures. Do men wait upon the public crib for provender? So do dogs. Do men watch tlie edicts of Government? Not more intently than dogs the corpora tion ordinances. Are men lynched? So are dogs. Are men ejected from their premises? The dog is driven out of his j house a hundred times to a man’s once, j But dogs are made like ladies. No offence | upon our honor and gallantry, madam, ! hut they certainly are. Dogs, wc have j seen, are interested in all mutations and changes of this shifting world. So are you, madam. Neither of you vote —hut both have voices —and truth compels us to say, that when raised in anger, the bark of dog or woman is equally agreeable—and —alike efficacious. A scolding woman ! gets her will to purchase her silence. So | does a barking dog, although perhaps it j is not yielded to him with so much cir cumstance of ceremony. Like ladies, j then, dogs who may not control events may watch them. Like ladies, they may ! be censorious, have their own opinions of what passes before their eyes. There-i fore beware, ye kite fliers in commerce,! ye simmers to meet promises to pay, ye speculators in real estate, ye speculators in hanking, and all and singular, ye dubi ous business men, how your manoeuvres are watched by the quadruped citizens. Be-' ware also ye preachers, for the Ettrick j Shepherd had a dog who took notes of the sermons. Men are fools sometimes — dogs are not always. Aximai, Burlesque. —Did you ever remark, reader, the exhibition of a species of burlesque, in the department of animals? Strung contrasts arc often observable in the hearing of this “ portion of the commu nity.” We could not resist a hearty laugh, recently, as we saw a pocket edition of a poodle, bedizened with tinkling hells and red ribbon, following one of Harrington’s lordly St. Bernard mastiffs, and expressing its personal dislike of the canine giant, by a series of liettis harks, or bar kiefs, as Lamb would have termed its small vociferations. With what indescribable contempt did the monster look down upon his little as sailant, in the brief moment that he turned round his head, and then moved on, over shadowing the aspiring cur with his iinmnse tail ! Dignity was enthroned in his uholc manner and aspect. A similar disparity is sometimes variously exhibited in a higher order of animals. The city rea der i-ill remember a menagerie incident, which occurred here some years since. A tiger, by some means or other, escaped from his cage, while the keeper was in the amphitheatre. He ran from side to side, “ seeking whom he might devour.” At length his fiery eye rested upon the keeper, who had taken up his position under the lee of a huge elephant, that had watched the motions of the enraged animal, from the beginning, with great gravity. The tiger sprang violently toward his master, but suddenly found himselfcncircled in the lithe proboscis oftlie elephant, and pres ently after whirling in the air. Twice he returned to the charge, and twice he was sent half across the amphitheatre, the last; time with a force that brought him to the | grou id, with exceeding emphasis, and in a j state so disabled as to capture hint easy. — The ponderous decorum with which the eleplant conducted the affair, and the chagrin and discomfiture of Isis adversary, i are said to have afforded a rich scene. It j was ii pitched battle, which the latter never i forgot. Apropos of elephants. A friend j onc< described to us a laughable scene! which lie saw in Baltimore, wherein this “half-reasoning parent of combs’’(vide Ur. Johnson) bore,as usual, a conspicuous i and powerful part. Five or six men. were “being led” by the animal—(they I supposed they were leading him) —to the | steamboat at the wharf, where he was to! embark with a menagerie for Philadelphia. He clanked up, in chains, to the end of the pier, just as a sudden pnffof the steam j escaped from the valve, preparatory to| st;u ting.—The elephant looked indolently j up at* the white vapor, flapped his cars, ami turned doggedly round, saying, as plainly as actions could speak, “I do n’t go in that boat!” For the,next twenty minutes, he was seen, by the passengers in waiting, slowly moving up the long street, in sullen dignity, while the attend ants, uttering divers soothing expostula tions, pulled strenuously hack upon the ropes and chains which highly encumbered the resistless animal’s legs. When the I boat left the wharf, the party were still faintly discerned in the distance, continu ing their toilsome and vexatious journey. [Knickerbocker.

[TERMS.....M Ilf *l>rAlte£. r . , *• ’ NUMBER 8- , I A GOOD STORY—IF TRUE! ; ' The story of the man of his Majesty’s 1 71st Regiment falling overboard from the Clinmbly steamboat, between long point and Montreal, and so miraculously ap* pearing on the beach before his comrades had disembarked, reminded me of a cir cumstance that occured during mjr servi tude on board the Dolphin man-of-war bound to the West Indies. We were going at the rate of about three knots and a half an hour, when Tom Garboard, belonging to the foretop, (who by the bye was a bit of a wag,) sleeping in the lee forechains by a sudden lurch of the ship was thrown overbo^w,* A man overboard was the general cry fore and aft—and every one ran Coffer or give assistance to the drowning man. Tom, who was a tolerable good swim mer, ns every body thought, but POthing extraordinary, woke on finding himself in a deep water, and began to use his pad dles, and the ship passing ahead as I was saying before, at the rate of three knots and a half. Tom was soon lost sight of under the counter, (for although our ship was not on Sir Robert Sepping’s plan, yet she was pretty full abaft.) when Tom was lucky enough to get hold oftlie rudder chains. The hands all rau aft expecting to see him astern and to lower the jolly boat to pick him up — but no Tom was to he seen. “He’s gone,” said they, “to Davy’s Locker,” and efforts ceased. Our ship was very deep bound out to tlie West Indies; consequently ouf gun room ports were low in the water. This Torn saw, and as it was getting dart he thought he would wait till they beat the quarters, and piped the hammocks down, before lie got on board which he did, and then popped into the lady’s hold, where tlie gunner keeps his wads and spare monkey’s tails, and there remained till the middle of the first watch when he sallied forth and made free with our bread bags, taking enough to serve him for three days. At the end of this time we were jogging along at an easy rate, with scarcely any wind, about a knot, when Master Tom, unobserved, slips out of the port he came in at, and dropping astern, began to hail the ship. “The Dolphin ahoy!” “Hallo,” says tlie quarter-master, who was about getting a pull on the main brace.— Says Tom, “If you don’t take back the main sail and heave to, I shall sink, for no man can swim to the West Indies without provis ions.” Every body run aft in amazement, for it hud been blowing fresh during the we had supposed he had been overboard; but there was no time to be lost—so the boat was lowered, and poor was picked up to the great gratification and astonishment of every body on board. On our arrival, as the captain was on shore, dining with the govern6ffthe talk turned upon swimming. The governor was extolling the powers of a black imp he had, and the captain declared no man could swim with Tom Garboard, of thy Dolphin’s fore-top; however, to make a long story short, the captain and the gov ernor made a very heavy bet—the time was appointed—Tom requested one week to get ready. The carpenters were ordered to make what chests and conveniences Tom re quired. The purser was instructed, at his request, to supply a fortnight’*- provi sions. Tl»e day came, and Tom went on shore at the wharf appointed, ..when be began to stow his grulh The black fel low looked at him with astonishment. ‘What you do dere,massa?’ sars he. ‘What am I doing here?’ says TV>m, ‘why I am taking in my provisions, -tohe sure,”and I advise you to do the same; for not a bit of this do you get on the road.’ ‘Why massa,’ says the negro, ‘me no more swim nino or ten miles.’ as if in amazement at the short distance, ‘why mail, I’m going to Tobago, which I be lieve is over two hundred miles, and shan’t be back for a fortnight.’ r * The spectators were astounded. The black refused to swim. The governor lost his wager, and it was not until we were homeward bound, that Tom told the secret. — [Montreal Herald. - - • , i !. >;; , ; A Graceless Fellow.— A long story has been published in many of the papers about an individual of the name of John Wood, headed, if we recollect right, “The Lost Found. ” It. was to the effect that this man had been a soldier in the late war, was taken prisoner by the British, transported to England, pressed into the service of the King and trnsported to the East India station, from whence hft, ,h»d but lately beeu released, and wentbeirun his return to Kentucky, his native.fk&tc.
