THE EARTH.
FROM THE GERMAN.
Mother earth ! Mother earth !
Countless years have past away,
Still, amid the circling stars,
Defying decay.
Unworn, untiring, firm ami strong,
Thou speedcst thy broad path along,
Swiftly, as when from chaos sprung
Upon thy first day.
All bhunteons parent!
Man and brute have” sprung ftonr thee ;
Thou givest them daily food,
Prodigally free;
And thy weak offspring, worn with pain,
Or wearied with life’s labor vain,
Thou soothest in thy breast .again,
Sorrow blesses thee.
Towers crumble into dust r
Proud empires to min bow,
Time lays waste man's fragile works,-
Yet changeless art thou.
Mortals may fell thy forests- old,-
Or dig thy mountains deep for gold,
They cannot pierce thine outer mould,
Thy depths none may know.
Steadfast and eternal!
Can any tell of thy birth !
\Vho may show thy beginning.
Or doom Mother Earth f
Many a race shall from thee fade,
Myriads be within thee laid
Before thir.e onward course be stayed,
Undecaying Earth.
POLITICAL,
THE AWFUL DISCLOSURES OF 1841.
The whole land is ringing with “awful
disclosures,” but these are nothing to the
developments which will be made in the
year 1841, when President Harrison shall
order a general inquiry. They will be
“awful” indeed! At present, the power of
executive influence, like the ehainofsilence
spoken of by the Irish bard, keeps many
things under the spell of repose; but this
hushing up influence will be broken after
the 4th of March next.
Mr. Calhoun, before he joined the party
which he had so often and so emphatically
denounced, asked this pointed question:
Does any man- entertain a doubt that the
high officers of Government have used the
deposites as Instruments of speculation in the
puclic lands? Is not the- fact notorious?
And whatis the effect of the sub-treasury
system but to throw into the hands of the
executive and- bis officers a more abundant
supply of “instruments of speculation” whi,
oh they may employ in building Op their
own fortunes? The people, through the trea
son of their Representatives, have been- de
prived of the power of controling the expen
diture of their own money. There is not
a shadow of guaranty for the security of the
national revenue. The Administration has
seized it as “spoils.” When General Har
rison shall commence an investigation of
the abuses of the party now in power, we
may look for disclosures which will shock
belief, and let loose a torrent of indignation
over the land. The immense losses which
we have already on record from public de
faulters will appear but as a drop in an
ocean, when the total of waste through the
“TWELVE YEARS OF MISRULE” shall COme tO
be summed up.— Baltimore Patriot.

THE
BROTHER JONATHAN:
EDITED BT
N. P. WILLIS &. HASTINGS WELD.
The largest and cheapest Paper in the
World.
Published every Saturday, by Wilson &. Cos.,
162* Nassau-street, New York,
AT THREE DOLLARS PER ANNUM IN ADVANCE.
Upon entering the second volume of this
pioneer in the intfroduction of newspapers
of its class, the publishers may be excused
for congratulating themselves upon the con
tinued prosperity and advancement of their
periodical, from its first number to the pre
sent time. Aware that competitio* is the
life of business, they expected, and have
met with rivals—those rivals harve, so far,’
been essential aids to the publicity and cin
culation of the JONATHAN.- New rea
ders have been made,where comparatively,
few existed before, and the taste created for
the elegant literature of tge two hemis
phere, carried into all parts of the country,
and accessible to all, has produced a de
mand for the BROTHER JONATHAN,
which it is gratifying to state is constantly
on the increase.
With such addition to their resources
and emoluments, the publishers have aimed
to give a commensurate increase to the va
lue and interest of their sheet. In addition
to the labors of the gentlemen whose names
are announced as editors, the publishers
avail themselves constantly on the in
crease.
For the foreign correspondence of the
JONATHAN the services of Isaac C.
Pray, jr., have been engaged ; and his fine
literary taste will also be exercised in
he selection of things rare, new, and
worthy, in the European literary mart.
Selections from the cream of the foreign
magazines will, of course, be continued.
In the progress of improvement, anew
feature has been added to the BROTHER
JONATHAN —the publication ot new
and popular Music. Every paper will
contain something in this way, new and
pleasant; reference being had in the selec
tion, rather to such pieces as all can sing
and play, than to recherche compositions,
suited only to the scientific. Anew font
of music type has been purchased, and a
gentleman engaged to superintend this de
partment, of excellent experience and
knowledge of Music. This will enable us
to give Music a publicity which it never
enjoyed before ; to carry the same themes
for carol to the sylvan maid in the farthest
backwoods, which delight the party in the
city drawing-room. A simultaneous po
pularity will thus be enjoyed all over the
country by such compositions as are adapt
ed to the public taste, and worthy of the
public favor.
Whatever other improvements may sug
gest themselves, will be adopted ; and no
pains spared to make the JONATHAN a
welcome visiter to all sorts of people, whese
tastes are worthy of gratification. Other
periodicals may be addressed to particular
opinions, or particular classes— JONA’
THAN will wander free, “ from the
grave to the gay, from lively to severe ;**■
and strive, with all the aid he has ealTSfi-d,
to compose the whole circle. To give, in
a word, a Cyclopedia, of whatever may be
desirable in a literary magazine, and
weekly newspaper. He appeals to the pasty
for vouchers of what he can ' 1
he can, he will.
Terms :—Three Dollars a year in ad
vance. For Five Dollars, two copies of the
paper will he sent one year, or one copy
two years. In no case will the paper be
sent out of the city unless paid for in ad
vance.
All communications and,, letters
should be addressed, postage paid, to
