EDITORS. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, William W. Snowden. dlssisted by many of the most Popular llriters. Since the publication of the May number , the demand for the Ladies’ Companion has been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine anticipations. At the commencement of the volume an additional number of copies were printed, which was considered at the time ade quate to satisfy all the orders which might be received, and leave considerable number on hand for subsequent calls. The publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole edition was nearly exhausted before the issuing of the seventh number of the volume ; and at this time but very' few complete sets remain on hand, to supply the numerous orders which are daily received from every section of the Unit ed States. In consequence of this great unforeseen in crease of new subscribers, lie lias determined to double the number of impressions for the sub sequent year ; while he most gratefully appre ciates the unpreedented encouragement ex tended to the Ladies' Companion, and at the same time he begs to assure the readers of the magazine and the public in general, that it is his ardent resolution to meet it with a corres ponding liberality on his part to merit its con tinuance. Splendid Steel Engravings by our best artists, accompany each number—illustrated by Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as heretofore. Continue to be magnificunt and far superior to those published in any other maga zine in America. The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger ijuanlity of reading than any other magazine issued in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollars a year, while the great combination of talent secured for the coming year will render it unequalled by any other periodical. Its Literary Character ! Will under go considerable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’ Companion, in order to show his appreciation of the public favor already extend ed to him so liberally, has secured the aid ji Mrs. Ann e 5. Stephens, late Editor of the “Portland Magazine," and author of a scries of the most beautiful and popular tales ever presented to an American public. No lady possessing greater variety of; talent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a ladies’ magazine, could have been selected * from the galaxy of female genius which is the j glory of our country. The Musical Department, is under the supervision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifica tions for the task are too well known to require our testimony. This department of the Ladies’ Companion lias ever commanded a large share of attention, . and has been looked upon with no little inter est by its readers, and more especially the La dies, whom the publisher is in the highest de gree anxious to please, it will continue to be ! a subject of more than usual care to him, anil to the /’ rofessor under whose supervision it is placed, to make that portion of the magazine allotted to Music, more than ever deservimr of the countenance of every lover of music. It has ever been and will continue to be the dc- , sir** to have all pieces of Music printed correct ly and free from errors. The Work in General. Over every de partment an equally careful supervision will lie strictly exorcised by the Editors, and all ap propriate expenditures will be liberally bestow- j od, as it is tile design of the publisher, with the \ aid of his contributors and the advice of Lis friends to make the Ladies' Companion distill- j guished for the beauty and accuracy of its typo graphy—the ninety and high tour of its literary j articles — the e/uality anil value of its music —and I the unequalled splendor of its Pictorial Em bellishments. It is tlie determination of the publisher to use ] every means to maintain the superiorly which the Ladies'Companion has obtained. For four years he has steadily pursued a course of im provement, and he flatters himself that his pros sent facilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companion eminent advantages over all other publications of its character. From the foregoing it will he perceived that the Ladies’ Companion embraces every de partment within the range of Belles-l.ettres and the Fine Jil ts ; and no exertions or expense will be deemed too great to render the work equal to any other extent. The flattering and gener- j al testimonials of nearly every cotemporary»i journal in the United States, and in fact, many on the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support of the public gener ally. Tin re is no work that gins its n adi rs such n gnat return for their subscription. The Pp.i/.k Aktici.es will all be published during the year. These articles will comprise the successful candidates fur the premiums of one thousand dollars awarded by a committee of literary gentlemen in August last.

The following exquisite lines are from the New York Knickerbocker. They are replete with the most beautiful philosophy, and breathe the very soul of melody : A PSLAM OF LIFE. “Life that shall send A challenge to its end.

And things are not what they seem. Life is real—life is earnest— And the grave is not its goal : Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destin'd end or way ; Ilut to act, that each to-morrow Finds us farther than to-day. Art is long, and time is fleeing. And our hearts, though stout and brave, j Still, like muffled drums are beating Funeral marches to the grave.

Footsteps, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwreck’d brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us tlien be up and doing. With a heart for any' fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. .13 & * C K !j L .1 Y V . TIIE PROFESSOR OF SIGNS, Or. tiro ways of telling o story. 11l the days ol King Janies the first, the “Solomon” of England, the Embassador from the Kingdom of Spain, in conversa tion with James, spoke of the difficulties he met with in his intercourse with stran gers, and lamented that there were not in the colleges Professors to tench the language of Signs, which should be a universal language among the people of nil countries. His Majesty, as much giv en to the sin of boasting as any man need be, declared that at his college of Aber deen there was an officer, a Professor, who taught the language of signs. O, said the Embassador, 1 will go and con verse with him. But, said the King, it is a great way olf, many hundred miles. It it were ten thousand leagues 1 will see him. I w ill start off to-morrow. Saving which, he bowed" and left the King. James, finding in w hat a dilemma lie had placed himself, immediately wrote to the heads of the college, stating what he had done, and ordering them to prepare im mediately for the Embassador’s visit, and to get off' as well as they could. The pro i lessors were bothered at first to guess | what to do; but the King’s command they dared not disobey at last they thought of one Geordy, a droll fellow living in the town, who had hut one eye, whom they believed would bring them off if any one could. Geordy was accordingly procur ed, and was duly tutored, tvigged and gowned to prepare for the Empassador. In due time the Embassador arriving made known bis business, and was usher ed with due ceremony into the room where i Geordy was, the professors remaining trembling in an adjoining one. The Embassador, after a brief conver sation with Geordy, returned to the room j where the college officers were, and de clared himself highly gratified with his intercourse with the Professor of Signs. They wished him to give particulars. “When I entered the room, I held uponr finger, signifying there is one God. He replied by holding up two, meaning that there were two, the Father and the Son. I held up thrrr, signifying the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He answered by j clenching It is hand, signifying that the three were one.” (For the Embassador was a “good Catholic,” and of course believed in the sublime mystery.) “I then took from my pocket an orange, sig mtying that God was good in giving us the luxuries of life. He answered by hold ing up a piece of bread, signifying that God gives not only the luxuries, hut the ■necessaries of life.” The Embassador ! then left the place, and Gcordy was called in to give his.’version of what took place. , “The rascal,” said he, “dont you think the first provoking thing he did was to | hold up one finger, as much as to say you have got but one rye. I held up two fin -1 gers to let him know that I thought my one eye as good as his two. lie then held up three fingers, to say there were j hut three between us. I clenched my ! first, shook it in his face, and had a mind to knock him down, and would have done iit hut for displeasing your worships, i Well, then, to provoke me still further, he held up an orange as much as to say, | ‘see here—your poor, beggarly, cold coun try can t produce the like of this.’ I held up a piece of barley bannock, to tell him I didn t care a d— n for his orange so long as I could get this. But I’m sorry after all, I didn’t knock the rascal down, and will do it if he provokes me again.” , Trust to Yourself. —“ Trust to your self,” is a glorious principle for the indus trious and trading classes of the commu nity—and yet the philosophy of it is not; perhaps understood so well as it ought to he. There is hardly anything more com mon in the country than to hear men ■ spoken of who originally, or at some peri od of their lives, were rich, but were ruin ed by 'security, that is, hy becoming hound to too great an extent for the en gagements of their neighbors. This I must arise in a great measure from nil im perfect understanding of the question; and it therefore seems necessary that some thing should be said in explanation of it. I I would be far from desiring to see men shut up their hearts against each other, 1 and each stand, in the panoply of his own j resolutions, determined against every | friendly appeal whatsoever. It is possi ble, however, to be not altogether a churl, and yet to take care lest we he tempted , into an exertion of benevolence dangerous to ourselves, while it is of little advantage' to our friends. Notwithstanding the many ties which connect a man with society, he neverthe less hears largely imprinted on his fore head the original doom, that he must chiefly be dependent on kis own labor for subsistence. It is found by all men of ex perience, that, in so far as one trust to his own exertions solely, he will ho apt to flourish; and m so far as lie leans, and de pends on,others, lie will be the reverse.— Nothing can give as good a general assur ance of well doing as the personal activi ty of the individual, dav by dav, exerted for his own interest. If a man, on the contrary, suddenly finds, in the midst of such a career, a prospect of some patron age which seems likely to enrich him at once, or if hr: falls into the heritage of some antiquated claims to property or ti-| tie, that he thinks it necessary to prose cute, it is ten to one that he declines from that moment, and is finally ruined. The j only true way to make a hnppv progress j through this world is to goon in a dogged, persevering pursuit of one good object, I neither turning to the right or to the left, 1 making our business as much as possible I our pleasure, and not permitting ourselves to awake from our dream of [activity —not permitting ourselves to think that ire hare hem active —till we suddenly find our selves at the goal of our wishes, with for-: tune almost unconsciously within our gra-p.—[Chambers. Man’s Unhappiness, ns I construe, comes of his greatness, it is because there is an Infinite in him, which, with all his cunning, he cannot quite bury under the Finite. Will the whole finance ministers and upholsterers of modern Eu rope, in joint stock company, undertake to make one shoe-black happy? They cannot accomplish it above an hour or two; for the shoe-black also has a soul quite other than his stomach, and would require, if you consider it, for his per manent satisfaction and saturation, sim ply this allotment —no more, and no less: Cod's infinite universe allogtther to hint self, therein to enjoy infinitely, and fill every wish as fast as it rose. Oceans of Ilochheimer, a throat like that of <Vi tiu chus ! —speak not of them; to the infinite shoe-black they are ns nothing. No soon er is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him w ith half of an universe—-of an omnipotence; he sets to quarreling with the proprietor of the other half, and de clares himself the most maltreated of men. But the whim we have of happiness is somewhat thus :—Bv certain valuations and averages of otir own striking, we come upon some sort of average terres trial lot; this we fancy belongs to us by nature, and of indefeasible right. It is simple payment of our wages —of our deserts; requires neither thanks ~nor com plaint: only such overplus as there may be do we account happiness; and deficit, again, is misery. Now consider that we have the valuation of our own deserts ourselves, and what a fund of self-conceit there is in each of us ! Do you wonder .that the balance should so often dip the wrong way, and many a blockhead cry— “ See there, what a payment! was ever , worthy gentlemen so used ?” I tell thee, j blockhead, it all comes of thy vanity—of j what tliou fanciest those same deserts of thine to he. Fancy that tliou deserves! to he hanged, (as is most likely,) thou .wilt feel it happiness to be only shot; fancy that thou deservest to be hanged 111 a hair halter, it will be a luxury to die in hemp. Carlyle. “Lot’s \V iff..— Mr. Colinan, in his Ag ricultural Address last week, illustrated the folly of modern fashionable female Education, by an anecdote. A yopng 1 man who had fbr a long while remained 111 that useless state, designated hy “a i half pair of scissors,” at last seriously de termined he would procure him a wife. He got the "refusal” of oile, who was j beautiful and fashionably accomplished, and took her upon trial to his home. ISOOII learning that she knew nothing ci ther how to darn a stocking or boil a po tatoe or roast a hit of beef, he returned her to her father’s house, having been weighed in the balance and found want ing. A suit was commenced by the good lady, hut the husband alleged that she was not “up to the sample,” and of course the obligation to retain the commodity was not binding. The jury inflicted a fine of a few dollars, but he would have given a fortune rather than not to he lib erated from such an irksome engagement. I “As well might the farmer have the orig inal Venus de Medicis placed in his kitch en,” said the orator, “as some of the mod ern fashionable Women. Indeed,” con tinued he, “it would be much better to have Lot’s Wife standing there, for she i might aswer one. useful purpose; she might suit his baron!" —[Northampton Courier. RvniF.ll I’f.usonai.. —A witness was examined before a judge in a case of slander, who required him to repeat the precise words spoken. The witness hes itated until lie rivetted the attention of the whole court upon him, then, fixing his eyes earnestly on the judge, he began, . —“May it please your honor, you lie, and steal, and get your living by steal ing!” The face of the judge reddened, and he immediately exclaimed, “ Turn to the jury, sir.” A few days ago a servant, wishing to destroy several newly born puppies, bu ried them alive in a hoio in a garden, and covered them over with earth. Thirty six hours afterwards a young- medical student, being curious to ascertain if the poor animals were dead, proceeded to their exhumation, when tliev were found alive and well, with the exception of one which was almost dead.—“ This exam ple,” a cotemporary observes, “ added to the instance of the Hindoo who lived after an interment of three weeks, and to the numerous cases of miners who have J been found alive alter being buried for eight or ten days, would lead to the sup position that some unknown agent ex ists in the bowels of the earth capable of prolonging the sufferings of the victims I of precipitate interment.” John Jacob Astor, of New York, is said to he worth the trifle of twenty-live millions of dollars—more than twice the sum left bv Stephen Girard. This, tit six per cent, would produce one million five hundred thousand dollars a year—one one hundred and twenty-five thousand a month—four thousand one hundred and : thirty-three dollars a day—one hundred and seventy-three dollars an hour—two dollars eighty-seven and a half cents a minute—and nearly five cents a second ! lie will be rich by and bye. . Tiif. Wn.n Pit; eon. Some idea may he formed of the immense number of pig eons which, at certain seasons, pass into Kentucky and Indiana, from a calculation entered into by Wilson the Ornithologist, in regard to an immense flock which he saw while traverseing the woods near Shelbyville. From the time which it took to pass the place where he was, he sup poses the flock to have been at least two hundred and forty miles in length! and to have contained something 1ike230,'272,- 000 pigeons. If each bird in such a flock consumed a pint of food each day, the whole amount would he about seventeen millions of bushels daily. Interesting to Smokers. —An article has been invented which very much enhances the enjoyment of a cigar. It consists of a tube with a bulb in the centre for re ception of cotton, which absorbs all the oil of the weed, leaving the smoker the pure and unalloyed flavor of the cigar. Precaution. In the ‘Memoirs of Queen Hortcnsc,’ by Mademoiselle Co chelct, a very characteristic anecdote is related of a Frenchman—Parisian me chanic. In the troublous times just be fore the capture of Paris by the allies, when the Grand Duke Constantine had [TERMS *3 IN ADVANCE. NUMBER 23. j given out to his troops that he would j warm them in the ashes of Paris, there was a great desire on the part of the Par ; isians to conceal their valuables from the expected plunderers. One mechanic, who ! was a clock-maker, caused a little isolat |cd closet To be bricked over, into which | he placed, among other valuables, several clocks of most exquisite workmanship. But in his haste he forgot to stop the 'clocks, and for a week after, they regu larly struck the hours all together, crea ting such a ding-dong as would have led the plunderers at once (had there been any) to the hidden treasures, and render ing them far more unsafe than they would have been in any Parisian ware-room. I Pimento or Allspice. —Tins elegant production grows spontaneously, but in hilly situations near the sea, forming ex tensive groves of most delicious fragrance. It is purely the child of nature, and mocks every attempt to improve its qualities. A pimento walk is procured by no other labor than appropriating a piece of wood land in the neighborhood of a plantation already existing, or in a country where the scattered trees are found in a native state, the woods of which being fallen, the trees are suffered to remain on the ground till they become rotton and perish. In the course of twelve months after the first season, abundance of young trees will be found growing vigorously in all parts of the land.—There is not in the vegetable world a more beautiful produc tion than young pimento. The trunk is ! smooth and glossy, free from bark, and 115 to 20 feet high; its leaves are of a 'dark green, like those of a bay tree, and form a beautiful contrast to its white ex uberant flowers, and the leaves .ire equal ly exuberant with the fruit. As to its preparations for sale, the berries are al ways gathered green; for tbe admission of ripened fruit would considerably di minish the value of the commodity. They are gathered by the hand, spread 011 a terrance and exposed to the sun till they become of a reddish brown, and w hen dry arc sent to market. A single tree has been known to yield 1 cwt of dried spice, |or 150 pounds of raw fruit; but as good I crops are only contingent, the value of the commodity is not so alluring as others, so that many plantations of pimento[are now exchanged for sugar in the West In dies. “ An organist, not without some ce lebrity in his day (Jeremiah Clark was his name,) being hopelessly in love with a very beautiful lady, far above his sta tion in life, determined upon suicide, and walked into the fields to accomplish his purpose. Coming to a retired spot, where there whs a convenient pond, surrounded with equally convenient trees, he hesitat ed which to prefer, whether to choose a dry death, or a watery one: perhaps he had never heard of the old riddle con cerning /Elia Lidia Crispis, which no (Edipus has yet solved. But that lie might not continue like the ass between two buddies of hay in the sophism, or Mahomet’s coftin in the fable, he tossed a halfpenny in the air to decide whether lie should hang or drown himself, and the halfpenny stuck edgeways in the dirt. The most determined infidel would at such a moment have felt that it was more than accident. Clark, as rnay well be supposed, went home again ; but the salutary impression did not remainjjpon his poor disordered mind, and he shot himself soon afterwards.” The Schoolmaster in the Factories. —Had Lord Ashley been made acquainted with the following fact, it might have been of some service iu the late exposition of the factory system. Mr. Dorsey, a lectu rer on education, applied at oue of the factories on Monday for permission to see the school; after some hesitation, one of the partners sent a boy with him to show the place. After going up several flights of rickety stairs he was shown into a garret room in the rooLiri( the corner of which sat a old man, with about twenty pale faced chil dren sleeping on forms around hitn. The whole of the hooks for this school con sisted of one tattered Tesfltnent, and one hornbook for the less advanced scho lars! Lying near the master was a strap, the only use of which was U» awaken the sleeping pupil when his turn of five minutes’ reading came. Dpraey asked what the expense of this school might he, and was answered six shillings a week, and as good as could be got for the mo ney. “ Indeed,” said one of the part ners, “ I pay two shillings a week out of my own pocket toward it, which I consider a great hardship.’’ Sorrows.—A small sorrow distracts— a great one makes us collected, aa a be loses its tone when slightly craoked, an*’ recovers it if the fissure iicalarged.— Every heavy burden of sorrow seem < like a stone hung round our neck, y-i are they oflen only like the 6tone use ! by pearl divers, which enables them t;> ! reach their prize and to rise enriched.
