July 12, 1838. A Mew Advertisement, A New Year, and a New 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 ten snbscriptions 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 the contents of the Messenger embraces as much origimal 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 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 of 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 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 year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, in the 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 the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by W. E. Burton, Esq. O’Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled to the full advantages of the liberal terms here offered, must be made in sums of five’s and ten’s of current Bank notes—any lesser a inount, forwarded by mail, will be classed a long with individual subscriptions. At the expiration of the term subscribed for and 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. Jt will be a great saving to the publisher, and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, if the individual forwarding the sum required 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 inong themselves, who being made acquainted with the names of the Club, can as readily dis tribute them as if directed separately. All letters must be post paid, or they will not be taken out of the office. AJdress CHARLES ALEXANDER, Athenian Buildings,Franklin Place, Philadel’a PROSPECTUS.

POETRY. THE PLANTATION “ Farewell, awhile, the City's hum, Where busy footsteps fall, And welcome to my weary eye The Planter’s friendly hail. Here let me rise at early dawn, And list the mock bird’s lay, As warbling near our lowland home He waves the bending spray. Then tread the shading avenue, Beneath the Cedar’s gloom, Or Gum tree with its flicker'd shade, Or Chinquapin'B perfume. The Myrtle tree, the Orange wild, The Cypress' flexible bough, The Holly with its polish'd leaves, Are all before me now. There, towering with imperial pride The rich Magnolia stands, And here in softer loveliness, The white bloomed Bay expands. The long gray moss hangs gracefully— idly I twine its wreaths, Or stop to catch the fragrant air The frequent blossom breathes.” IWISCELLA3¥Y. From “ Sketches,” —By Quiz. THE FUNNY YOUNG GENTLEMAN. As one funny young gentleman will serve as a sample for all funny young gen tlemen, we purpose merely to note down the conduct and behaviour of an individ ual specimen of this class, whom we hap pened to meet at an annual family Christ mas party in the course of this very last Christmas that ever came. We were all seated round a blazing fire, which crackled pleasantly as the guests talked merrily and the urn steamed cheer ily—for, being an oldfashioncd party, there tens an urn, and a teapot besides— when there came a postman’s knock at the door, so violent and sudden, that it startled the whole circle, and actually caus ed two or three very interesting and most unaffected young ladies to scream aloud and to exhibit many afflicting symptoms of terror and distress, until they had been several times assured by their respective adorers that they were in no danger. We were about to remark that it was surely beyond post-time, and that it must have been a runaway knock, when our host, who had hitherto, been paralysed with wonder, sank into a chair in a perfect ec stacy of laughter, and offered to lay twenty pounds that it was tlint droll dog Griggins. He had no sooner said this, than the ma jority of the company and all the children of the house burst into a roar of laughter too, as if some inimitable joke flashed up on them simultaneously, and gave vent to various exclamations of—To be sure it must be Griggins,— and How like him that was, —and What spirits he was in!— with many other commendatory remarks of the like nature. Not having the happiness to know Grig-,' gins, we became extremely desirous to see so pleasant a fellow, the more especially!' as a stout gentleman with a powdered f head, who was sitting with his breeches’ i buckles almost touching the hob, whisper-j ed us he was a wit of the first water, when . the door opened, and Mr. Griggins, being 1 announced, presented himself, amidst an- j other shout of laughter and a loud clap ping of hands from the younger branches. This welcome he acknowledged by sun dry contortions of countenance, imitative of the clown in one of the new panto mimes, which were so extremely suc cessful, that one stout gentleman rolled upon an ottoman in a paroxysm of delight, protesting, with many gasps, that if some body didn’t mak-e that fellow Griggins! leave off, lie would be the death of him, he | knew. At this the company only laughed more boisterously than before, and as we always like to accommodate our tone and spirit, if possible, to the humor of any so ciety in which we found ourself, we laugh ed with the rest, and exclaimed. “Oh! capital, capital!” as loud as any of them. When he had quite exhausted all be holders, Mr. Griggins received the wel comes and congratulations of this circle, and went through the needful introduc-! tions with much ease and many puns. This ceremony over, he avowed his inten-; tion of sitting in somebody’s lap unless the young ladies made room for him on the sofa, which being a great deal of tittering and pleasantry, he squeezed himself among them, and likened bis con dition to that of love amongst the roses. At this novel jest we all roared once more. “You surely should consider yourself highly honored, sir,” said we. “ Sir,” re plied Mr. Griggins, “you do me proud.” Here every body laughed again; and the stout gentleman by the fire whispered in j our ear that Griggins was making a dead ' set at us. The tea things having been removed, |we all sat down to a round game, and here Mr. Griggins shone forth with pecu liar brilliancy, abstracting other people’s fish, and looking over their hands in the most comical manner. He made one most j excellent joke in snuffing a candle, which I w * s neither more nor less than setting fire , to the hair of a pale young gentleman who sat next to him, and afterwards begging his pardon with considerable humor. As the young gentleman could not see the joke however, possibly in consequence of its being on the top of his own head, it did not go off quite as well as it might have done; indeed, the young gentleman was heard to murmur some general references to “impertinence,” and a “rascal,” and to state the number of his lodgings in an an gry tone—a turn of the conversation which might have been productive of slaughter ous consequences, if a young lady, be-! trothed to the young gentleman, had not used her immediate influence to bring about a. reconciliation; emphatically de claring in an agitated whisper, for his personal edification, but audible to the ! whole table, that if he went on in that way she never would think of him other wise than as a friend, though as that she must always regard him. At this terrible threat the young gentleman became calm, and the young lady, overcome by the re vulsion of feeling, insntantaneously fainted. Mr. Griggins’s spirits where slightly de-i pressed for a short period by this uulook-i ed-for result of such a harmless pleasant-1 ry, but being promptly elevated by the at- J tentions of the host and several glasses of| wine, he soon recovered, and became j even more vivacious than before, inso much that the stout gentleman previously referred to, assured us that although he had known him since he was that high (something smaller than a nutmeg-grat er), he never beheld him in such excel lent cue. When the round game, and several games at blind man’s butt', which follow ed it, were over, and we were going down to supper, the inexhaustible Mr. Griggins produced a small sprig of misletoe from his waistcoat pockel, and commenced a general kissing of the assembled females, which occasioned great commotion and j much excitement. We observed that several young gentlemen—including the young gentleman with the pale counten ance—were greatly scandalised at this indecorous proceeding, and talked very big among themselves in corners; and we observed too, that several young ladies, when remonstrated with by the aforesaid young gentlemen, called each other to witness how they had struggled, and pro tested vehemently that it was very rude and that they were surprised at Mrs. Brown’s allowing it, and that they couldn’t bear it, and had no patience with such impertinence. But such is the gentle and forgiving nature of woman, that al though we looked very narrowly for it, we could not detect the slightest harshness in the subsequent treatment of Mr. Grig gins. Indeed, upon the whole, it struck us that among the ladies he seemed rather more popular than before ! To recount all the drolleries of Mr. Grig gins at supper, would fill such a tiny vol ume as this, to the very bottom of the out side cover, —how he drank out of other people’s glasses, and cat other people’s [bread, how he frightened into screaming ! convulsions a little boy who was sitting lup to supper in a high chair, by sinking j below the table and suddenly re-appear ing with a mask on; how the hostess was ! really surprised that any body could find a pleasure in tormenting children, and how the host frowned at the hostess, and felt convinced that Mr. Griggins had done it with the very best intentions; how- Mr. Griggins explained, and how every body’s good-humor was restored but the child’s; to tell these and a hundred other things ever so briefly, would occupy more of our I room and our reader’s patience, than ei ther they or we can conveniently spare. Therefore we change the subject, merely observing that we have offered no descrip tion of the funny young gentleman’s per sonal appearance, believing that every so ciety has a Griggins of its own, and leav ing all readers to supply the deficiency, according to the particular circumstances of their particular case. A Revolutionary Hero —A fact. The Fourth of July, 18—, was cele brated in the usual manner, with civic and military rejoicings, in one of the most considerable towns in Eastern Pennsylva nia. In the evening of the day a public festival was held within a beautiful grove at the suburbs of the tow n. The co’hmiii tce of arrangements, by request of the ora tor appointed for the occasion, Mr. , collected all the revolutionary veterans, they could find within the compass of sev eral miles, and arranged them within fine effect on either side of the chair of the president. Every thing went off charm ingly—the dinner was excellent, the wine was delicious—the music was soul-stirring and the toasts patriotic. After tbe-Dec laration of Independence was read, Mr. 6 arose and addressed the meeting, in a strain of eloquence which called forth heart-felt and rapturous bursts of applause. He dwelt pathetically on the hardships and privations of that little band of heroes who fought by the side of our beloved Wash ington, through all that memorable strug gle which ended in the glorious achieve ment of our liberties. In the midst of this | discourse, he turned round to the old vet ; erans, whose moistened eyes showed how well the chord that awoke in their recol i lections the thrilling deeds of bygone days, ! had been touched, lie suddenly questioned a silver headed septuagenarian: “What battle, my old friend, have you fought in, wont von tell us? I “I crossed the Brandywine with Wash ington; fought at Yorktown, and saw the surrender of Lord Cornwallis.” “And you,” continued the orator. “I was at Saratoga; and, I tell you, it done our hearts good to see the red coats march by us with furled banners and re versed arms—fine looking they were, too.” “And you?” “I was with Greene through all his southern campaign, and I fought with him in every battle.” “And you; where were your laurels won?” “On the sea,” answered the weather beaten old tar. “I was with Barry, wheu he taught the proud Britons that we were as invincible on the ocean as on the land.” The cheering was tremenduous. The orator went on. “And you tell us where your honored garlands were earn ed?—speak, old father, upon what field of blood did you behold victory perched up on our flag? “Vy, by Jo, I vash at Trenton.” “Under Washington, gallant soldier, under Washington?” “O, ya, I vach oonder Vashington, als ven ve soorrenders—” “Surrendered!—what do you mean my old hero? Surrendered!” “Vy ya, main her! be sure ve soorren dered oonder Shenderal Vashington; 1 vash one of de Hessians!” Imagine, reader, the surprise of the au dience, the momentary suspense, and the deafening roar of laughter and plaudits that followed. In speaking of the superstition, that Friday is an unlucky day, the Baltimore American says: “Every one knows that according to received notions, to commence an under taking on that day, is to insure a disas trous result. An old fashioned sailor would stare at one who would be so rash as to think of going to sea on what has been called hangman’s day, and the luck less seamstress v. ho by chance might cut out work and not finish it before sundown would go to bed with the full assurance that some mishap would attend the arti cle thus begun. Now strange as it may ap pear, this unlucky day has served to ush er in some of the most important events of modern times. It was on Friday, as ascertained by the calendar, that Colum bus set sail on his successful voyage for the discovery of the American Continent, and a Friday that he first made the land. It was on a Friday that the Pilgrim Fath ers of New England landed on the rock of Plymouth, and it was on Friday that Washington, Madison and the younger Adams were born. Whether the fact of being connected v. ith the history of the New world has any thing to do with de priving the sixth day of the week of its unlucky character or not, we w ill not pre tend to say, but if our information be cor rect, the charm seems to have been broken as the occurrences above mentioned took place on that day.” Large Snake. Our readers may re collect that a few weeks ago we gave an account of a large Rattle Snake, taken on the farm of Col. Kirklaud of Henry county, which we thought at the time a pretty large Snake Story. But it appears we are out snaked by upwards of two feet ! We knock under, ’pon honor—hear the following from the last Tuscaloosa Intel ligencer : — lrwinton Herald. Perry County, May 17. Mr. Bradford, Dear Sir: Yesterday my overseer, with the aid of several ne groes, killed, I presume, the largest Rat tle Snake that has ever been seen in Ala | bama. It measured 13 feet 5 inches in I length, and 3 feet 101-3 inches in circurn- I ference around its belly—which, however (was larger than usual, for upon skinning it, we fcGtid it had swallowed a Fox entire ly whole. It weighed 73 pounds, I have ! the skin preparing to present to our Uni versity Museum. THOS. BIRDSONG, Jr. “Timothy,” said a certain Grocer to his clerk, “I’ve joined the Temperance so ciety, and it won’t look well to sell liquor before folks ; so if any person calls for a ny, you sauat take them intet the back room*’’ [TBRM MIN ADVANCE. A WAY FOR THE SOUTH *»''%** Debts. The N.O.Bulletin ofdth’uflrMyj, “ It is estimated that from the five ffouffi ern States, Mississippi, I T l|a. bama and South Carolina, fifty persons travel northward every for the purpose of and pleas ure. To put down the travelling and incidental expenses of this army of tour ists at five hundred dollars a head toould be a moderate estimate. Many of them, without question, spend their ofieT and two thousand. Add to this five hundred dollars ahead laid out in purchases of vari ous kinds, and we have the sum of forty millions of dollars disbursed every year at the North, by the travelling gentry from the South. Now if this Immense treasure could one year be applied to the liquidation of Southern debts, instead of the purchase of Northern pleasure, gewgaws, et cetera et cetera, it strikes us very that the people of the five States above men tioned would, at the end of twelve month* find themselves relieved of a heavy Weight of indebtedness. An arrangement so desk' able can, it is evident, easily- be tMCom plished. All the Southerners- have tedo, is to stay at home and save travelling ex penses. If they don’t soon find theif debts paid after a rigul adherence to this rule for one or two years, then our calculation is wrong. At any rate the experiment is well worth trying; and so strong is our faith in its success, that we ourselves are resolved to stay at home the whole sum mer, and set a good example to cor errat ic neighbors. The Rev. Sidney Smith. —The Lon don Quarterly in a review of BoZjfqpotes many good things of this witty divion’s. The following anecdote, not among the rest, is too good to be lost if it be authen tic, as told by a former American minis ter at the court of St. James. At one of the Holland House Sunday dinner parties many years ago, Cockford’s club then forming, was talked of; and the noble hos tess observed, that the female passion for diamonds was surely less ruinous than the rage for play among men, upon which Sydney Smith wrote the following im promptu sermonet most appropriately,** a curd: ' • Thoughtless that ‘-all that’s brightest fades,” Unmindful of that knave of spades, The sexton and his subs; How foolishly we play our parts ! Our wives on diamonds set their hearts. We set our hearts on dubs. [N. Y. Mirror Talking of barking, two gentlenMAihc other day, at a public table, got into a vi olent dispute upon a subject on which it was quite evident that both were profound ly ignorant. A big bull dog, which had been quietly sleeping on the be came roused by their violence, and began barking furiously. An old gentleman who had been quietly sipping his wine while the disputants were talking, gave the dog a kick and exclaimed, “Hold your tongue, you brute, you know no more about it than they do.” The laugh of the whole table was turned immediately upon the noisy brawlers. Antiquity of Modern Dress.— The ladies of Paris are at least as much attach ed to thin clothing as those of London. A lady of distinction there, having become very conspicuous by the thinness other attire, one day, when she had agQOfldeal of company, a packet was brought direct ed to her, and entitled * Dress foiFftad ame .” It was brought up, and think ing it was an elegant dress she ordered from her milliner, the lady resorted to treat her friends with a sight of this new invention of her fancy. It was opened, and there appeared a trine leaf. — Pkiladcl.
