WOMAN.
by w. c. class.
Methinks there is no lovelier sight on earth
Than gentle woman in her earlier years,
Before one cloud has gathered o’er her mirth,
Ere her bright eye grows dim with secret
tears;
When life the semblance of a dream doth
wear,
Unclouded by mischance, or grief, dr
guilej
When rich delight breathes in the golden
air,
And boundless fancy wears a joyous smile.
I have bowed down to woman ; not as one
Who idly w irships at a careless shrine ;
But as the hcathern bows unto the sun,
Whose rays beam round him, eloquent
divine;
Nor like a lingerer in Fashions train,
Who smiles and flatters a believing few,
Hollow in heart, perchance, and cold and vain,
Whose words are fables, thoughtless and
untrue.
But I am happy when about my way
The flowers of being ever chance to spring;
'Tis like an hour of dreams where fairies
play,
And gentle wild birds dance on glittering
wing.
Care is a shadow then, and in my heart
The well-springs of deep ecstacy arise ;
I feel each scale of loneliness depart,
Like storm-clouds melting, from the April
skies.
Oh. if my prayer might unto Heaven ascend,
’Twould be that Woman might be ever
blest,
That flowers and sunlight in her path might
blend,
And Eden's visions lull her tranquil rest.
I would that time might bear upon his wing’
Untroubled brightness for each fleeting day,
And every scene which hope is picturing,
Grow clearer as existence, wears away.
And as a gift from Heaven to cheer us here,
I would that Woman, when life's hour is
done,
Might fade like star-light when the atmos
phere
Is faintly colored by the approaching sun—
Passing from earth to a more cloudless scene,
Where brighter gems in purer skies are
set—
Where crystal fountains play in pastures
green,
Blending in fancy’s spell, with golden mem
ories yet.
Mrs. Hernans.— o i the 17th of May, 1835,
in Dawson street, Dublin, this accomplished
woman died. Her last verses, entitled ‘The
Poetry of the Psalms,’ appeared in the Dubli.'
University Magazine. They glow with the
‘beauty of ho iness,’ and bespeak the solem i
grandeur of a spirit ripened for the skies. A
few weeks before her death, while in a deep
decline, she was applied to to undertake a prose
work, and a series of novels after some popu
lar German model. How eloquent is her re
ply I ‘I have now,’she says,‘passed through
the feverish and somewhat visionary state of
mind often connected with the passionate study
of art in early life ; deep affections and deep
sorrows seem to have solemnized my whole
being, and I now feel as if bound to higher and
holier tasks, which, though I may occasional
ly lay aside, I could not long wander from with
out some sense of denlection. I hope it is no
self delusion, but I cannot help sometimes feel
ing as if it were my true task to enlarge the
sphere of sacred poetry, and extend its influ
ence.’ What more can we say, than that
Felicia Hernans lived beloved and died lament
ed? Who that reads- has not become famil
iar with her ‘Lines to Spring,’ ‘Bring Flowers,’
and ‘The Bride’s Farewell ?’ What American
heart dots not thrill at ‘The Landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers ?’ What wife, what mother,
but has kindled at the radiant picture of her
affectionate pencil ?
But she is gone—and her memory is blest.
A ‘better country’ has opened upon her en
chanted vision, and for her to die was a victory
and again. For her. departure who would
weep, or feel the throb of pity?—Why should
pity be entertained for a heart which sin had
never humbled—for a spirit that never fell?
Pity is for our weaknesses, to our weaknesses
be it given, not to the strength that rises over
pain, and is sustained from Heaven. Shall
we weep for the stormy life ?—lt was a tri
umph : for the lonely death?—lt was an im
mortality :
Weep not for her ! Her spirit was too fair,
Too pure and free for this guilt tainted earth ;
The sinless glory and the golden air
Os Zion, seemed to claim her from her birth :
Weep not for her !
From the Pittsburgh Advocate and Democrat.
A Wife ! A Wife! Give me my Wife!!
A few days since a person came blustering
into our office, and puffing and blowing like a
steam engine, enquired ofour “devil” whether
the editor was in, at the same time rapidly stri
ding towards the farther end of the office stum
bling in his progress over chases, pi, and old
ink kegs, when he finally seated himself upon
our ink block. Thus seated, after a momen
tary breathing, he again vociferated ‘I wa it
to see the Editor—where’s the Editor?’
While he was thus seated, his countenance
the very picture of agitation, ’We’ came in,
whenhe attempted to rise from his seat, the
ink being stiffened by the cold ; this required
more than an ordinary effort, but at length
succeeding, he approached, aid with an air
of desperation addressed us, vociferating—
“ Mr. Editor, where’s my wife! I want mv
wife ! Give her up to me !’ At first a little
astonished at this abrupt demand, we soon
coolly and collectively replied, Good fellow,
we have not got your wife, nor any one’s else
wife, not even our own wife.’ ‘I want my wife
—give her np, and I’ll pay you. O* my dear
wife, where do you keep tier ? The Mayor sent
me over, and says you can give her to me, and
by you shall.’ We assured him again
that we had noth'is wife, nor did we k tow any
thing about her. On this second an runciation,
our modern Ccelebs, in search of a wife, be
came less impatient in his manner and ges
ture, and coolly inquired—‘Aint it you th it
prints the Workingmen Advocate I seen in
New OrleiiM? And did’nt I see my dear
wife’s name in it ? and aint I the long lost
husband she advertised for? and did’nt I just
come to town and go to the Mayor, and he
shewed me across here, and said you’d show
me where my wife is ?’ The thought then
vtruck us of an advertisement headed ‘7n/br
motion wanted,' dtc. This explained all—his I
wife had advertised for her husband, and nam
ed who to call upon that she might be found.
Thus all finally' closedin harmony, except, th ■
discordant tones in a laugh er, from every quar
ter of the establishment, originating from a grin
of our devil while pointing to the ink block and
the posteriori of our hero. I ndeed it was laugh-
| able. It he had left a deep impress upon our
ink block, he had teceived, in return, an im
pression if not as deep, more durable.
Excellent Receipts.
Cream Cakes— A quart of cream ; four
■ eggs; sifted flour, sufficient for a thick batter ;
I a small teaspoouful of pearl-ash or sal acratus;
; a spoonful of salt; beat four eggs very light,
. and stir them by degrees (a little at a tune) into
, a quart of cream ; add, gradually, enough c f
, silted flour to make a thick batter; put. in the
salt ; dissolve the pearl-ash in as much vine
i gar as will cover it. and stir it into the mixture.
Bake it in muffin rings. Send the cakes to
the table quite hot ; pull them open, and butter
them.
For these cakes, sour cream is better than
sweet. The pearl-ash will remove the acidity,
and the batter will be improved in light
i ness.— Philadelphia Saturday News.
| Milk Pound Cake.— A pound ofsifted flour;
half a pound of butter ; half a pound of white
I sugar ; five eggs ; a small tea-spoonful of sal
acratus or peari-ash dissolved in half a pint of
milk ; sour milk is best—a tea-spoonful of
mixed spice, nutmeg, mace and cinnamon fine
ly powdered ; stir together the butter and su
gar ; beat the eggs till very light, and then
stir them into the butter and sugar in turn with
the sifted flour; add the spice ; lastly stir in,
gradually, the milk in which the pearl-ash has
been melted. Put the mixture into a buttered
tin pan, and bake it in a moderate oven. If
you prefer baking it as small cakes in little tins,
you must have half a pound and two ounces of
butter.— lb.
White Cup Cake.— The cups in which most
of the ingredients are measured, must be of
half pit t size. Four cups of sifted flour—
three cups of powdered white sugar—one cup
of fresh butter—one cup of milk—four eggs—
one glass of white wine, or a glass of rose

Observations
Relating to the Transplanting and Culture of
Fruit Trees.
Peaches— Peach trees grow and succeed
pretty well, on almost any dry soil, but that
which they appear to thrive the best in, is a
rich sandy loam. Sandy land matures the fruit
much earlier than clay, and renders it ofbet
ter flavor, and the trees live longer on rolling
or wavy land than on such as are flat or low;
a northern exposure is best, especially if pro
tected from the rays of the sun by 1< sty woods
on the south, wereby the bloom will be retard
ed, and consequently less exposed to late frosts.
Twenty feet is a good distance to plant the
trees apart, and cultivate them as recommend
ed for the apple ; be particular to wash the
trees as recommend d for the apple and other
trees by w hich means the bark will be kept in
) a healthy sonnd state, preventing deep cracks,
to which this tree is subject; into which cracks
the insect deposits its eggs, as well as near the
mot. The time has been, that the peach was
of very easy culture, but owing to the worm
and other diseases, of later years it has become
much more difficult, and hence the necessity
of more skib, and regular attention ; —and be
ing one of the most delicious fruits, originally
from the Persian empire, they will richly pay
for the extra care, at four dollars per bushel,
the Baltimore price for best sorts and well rais
ed fruit.
To raise a good peach orchard and preserve
it from the worm : procure trees one year old
from the bud. older trees are more affected by
the worm, and are much more checked in their
growth, by transplanting, than when removed
young. Ido not mention this to promote the
sale of you ig trees, but it is my candid opinion,
and it is the custom of the Jersey farmers who
supply Philadelphia with peaches ; and it is best
to get trees that have been budded on seedlings,
the seed of which had been procured from thrif
ty trees, which had never been budded, and of
course native or hog peaches—and before plant
ing those .rees, carefully examine the roots for
the worm, which will mostly at this age be
small, and may be found a little under the bark,
a few inches below where the top of the grou-.d
was, and if taken out now the tree is up, the
worm may be kept up as follows, supposing
the trees to have been planted as directed for
the apple:
About the middle of may, take the earth
away from the trees about two inch -s deep,
and wrap the trees one inch thick and three
feel up the bodies with rye straw, placing the
lower ends in sard trench, and haul up the dirt
in the lower end of the straw, which will keep
the miller from laying its eggs on the tender
b rk of the tree curing the time of its flight;
after the firstol'O 'tober, the straw oughtto be
removed to harden the wood before winter, and
place around each tree about one shovel full of
ashes ; this should be done every fall, and in
crease them in proportion to the rise of the
trees, and repeat the bandages of straw annu
ally, as above, until the bark of the trees be
come old and so hard as to render it impervi
ous to the worm. In order to obtain large fair
fruit, they require ju lictous trimming—the
first season after planting, as soon as the buds
have fairly broke or pushed out, head the trees
down to about three to four feet high, taking
care to do it above the bud; and after the bran
ches have shot out, select three of the best of
them near the top, and rub all the rest off
these three will mostly make strong shoots the
first season, and the next season shorten these
branches about one-fourth of their length, and
rub off all the buds but three on each near tee
end, as in the first case ; this will give the tree
nine branches, which will mostly give a hand
some head to each tree, and annually thereaf
ter cut out about two-thirds of the fruit bear
ing species, leaving the strongest and best about
\ equally distributed, and the leading shoots must
j be occasionally shortened as they’ become slen
* der or weak, which strengthens the bearing
wood, and the thinning out the spurs will les
i sen the necessity of thinning the fruit in some
■ measure. Yet to have rat; fruit they
i ought, to be thinned to four inches, leaving only
1 one peach in that space, which ought to be
I done before the fruit, is as large as the seed or
I stone of it; in this way we can have the same
i weight of fruit as if all was left on, and of
course very large, and proportionally juicy and
I luscious.
! Cherry Trees—Cherry trees grow best on
j a rich well cultivated loam, on an open clay
j subsoil, low alluvial, sandy or wet land, is un
| favorable.
; The assortment of this fruit are much iin
proved within a tew years in this country ; by
another season I shall have some very superior
new sorts—having seen the fruit of some of
them, enables me to speak with confidence.

FKOSPECTIIS
OF THE
A WEEKLY PAPER,
TO BE PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK,
Glynn Co. Georgia.
rp HE causes which render necessary the es
tablishment oi this Press, and its claims to
the support of the public, can best be presented
by the statement of a few facts.
Brunswick possesses a karbour, which for ac
cessibility, spaciousness and security, is une
qualled on the Southern Coast. This, ol itself,
would be sufficient to render its growth rapid,
audits importance permanent; for the best port
boutii oi the Potomac must become the site of a
great commercial city. But when to this is ad
ded the singular salubrity of the climate, free
from those noxious exhalations generated by the
union of salt and river waters, and which are
indeed “ channel airs” to a white population, it
must be admitted ttiat Brunswick contains all the
requisites tbr a healthy and populous city. Thus
much has been the work of Nature, but already
Art has begun to lend her aid to this favored spot,
and tile industry of man bids fair to increase its
capacities, and add to its importance a hundred
ibid. In a few months, a cana' will open to the
harbour of Brunswick the vast and fertile coun
try through which flow the Altamaha, and its
great tributaries. A Rail Road will shortly be
commenced, terminating at Pensacola, thus
uniting the waters of the Gulf of Mexico with
the Atlantic Ocean, (fiber Rail Roads inter
secting the State in various directions, will make
Brunswick their depot, and a large portion of
the Valley of the Mississippi will yet find its way
to her wharves Such, in a few words, are the
principal causes which will operate in rendering
Brunswick the principal city of the South. But
while its advantages are so numerous and ob
vious, there have been found individuals and
presses prompted by selfish fears and interested
motives, to oppose an undertaking which mnst
add so much to the importance and prosperity
of the State. Their united powers are now ap
plied to thwart in every possible manner, this
great public benefit. Misrepresentation and rid
icule, invective and denunciation have been
heaped on Brunswick and its friends. To coun
teract these efforts by the publication and wide
1 dissemination of the facts—to present the claims
of Brunswick to the confidence and favor of the
public, ,md to furnish information relating to all
the great works of Internal Improvement now
going on through the State, and to aid in devel
oping the resources of Georgia, will be the lead
ing objects of this Press.
Such being its end and aim, interference in the
party politics of the day would be improper and
impolitic. Brunswick has received benefits
from—it has friends in all parties, and every
consideration is opposed to rendering its Press
the organ of a party. To the citizens of Geor
gia—mid not to the members of a party—to the
friends of Brunswick—to the advocates oflnter
mil Improvement—to the considerate and re
flecting—do we applv for aid and support.

FOSTER’S
Cabisiet Miscellany,
EMBRACING
j A CAREFULLY SELECTED SERIES OF THE NEWEST
PUBLICATIONS ON A VARIETY OF SUB
JECTS, INTERESTING TO ALL
J WHO DESIRE TO
, MAKE THEMSELVES ACQUAINTED WITH THE
BEST LITERARY PRODUCTIONS OF THE
FIRST WRITERS OF THE DAY,
PUBLISHED in weakly numbers, 72 pp.
Elegantly printed in a handsome duodecimo
i form, in a new and clear type, and on good pa
j per. Price-12 2-1 cents per number, or $5 per,
I annum, in advance.
I Although this work is published periodcally,
j n order that the public taste of novelty, may, in
«ome measure, be accommodated, it may either
j be procured in Nos. weekly, in vols.; each work
! complete and distinct in itself, or by subscrip
tion by the year—so, that while it unites all the
advantages to some readers, of the small outlay
at stated periods attendant upon periodical pub
l.cations, those who may have an objection to
take upon Miemselves the trouble of preserving
single numbers, have the option of purchasing
entire whatever work , f the series they may
think proper, in any manner most congenial to
their wishes or cirCumstrthces.
The work commenced with “St. Petersburg,
Constantinople and Napoli Di Romani,” by Ba
ron Von Tietz, which may be had complete, ei
ther in numbers, or neatly bound, forming vol.
1. of Foster’s Cabinet Miscellany. It is follow
! ed by a “Steam Voyage down the Danube, with
I Sketches of Hungary, Wallachia, Servia, Tur-
I key, &c ” By Michael J. Quin, author of a
! ‘Visit to Spain,’ &c. The first part of which
• has already appeared. Both these works have
! been noticed by the reviewers of England with
unqualified praise.
The proprietor of this work is impressed with
the opinion that independently of abstruse ,nd
learned treatises, there is an ample demand, on
the part of the reading public for literary matter
of a higher denomination than the new works
of fiction which are at present so prodigally dis
seminated among them, and for books that shall
have a higher aim thi n the mere amusement
and gratification of the idle; he feels assured
also that with a moderate degree of care and
’ research, selections may easily be made among
the literature of the day, which shall not be de
: ficient in rational amusement, even while they
I are serving the nobler purposes of informing
the mind, or improving the experience. With
this opinion and assurance he has been induced
| to commence the present series, in which he
1 will endeavor to embody subjects worthy ot
being collected and retained, for the purpose of
re-perusal, reflection, or reference, and which
may not deteriorate the character of a gentle
man’s library.
Mr. Constable, of Edinburgh, was the first to
! discover that a signal service might be perform-
I ed to the world, by embodying, in a cheap and
! compact form, a series of publications that
should have utility as their primary object, but
I rational amusement in the manner of their con-
* coction. By issuing a small poition at a time,
■ and in frequent succession, he conceived that
lie should impel the generality of his readers—
j not the studious or the literary ones, of course
j —to keep up with the publication, and not allow
j their reading to run in arrear. By a well-timed
I and well-judged selection of articles it is believ
i ed that he accomplished, not only this ostensi
ble object, but a secret and more important one.
• Gradually a desire for more solid reading in
: creased in society, and that which originally
began in the hope of amusement, was continu
;ed in the wish for information. Useful matter
' was published at a comparatively cheap rate, it
was continually accumulating, yet the expense
was hardly felt. Encouraged by his success,
I the enterprising publisher began to insert new
' matter in his selections, and the public in return.
rewarded his exertions and
Were Constable’s Miscellany
United States, perhaps the
sent series Would not have
jto commence the latter work. But, be it re
’ membered, that in speaking of the cheapness of
, Constable, it is but relatively— as compared with
the publications in Great Britain generally, I
which is dearer than that of any part of the
i world. Constable’s Miscellany is published at
about half the English rate, but the present work .
purposes to be at one-third even oi Constable. I
The object then of Foster’s Cabinet Miscella- 1
Iny may be easily explained. It is to introduce
! to the reading public, a series of works that ;
; shall blend entertainment with inrorniation— I
! that shall take off’ the edge of the voracious ap- '
petite for mere fiction, which has been brought I
on by too great a profusion of works of that de- i
scription—that, shall gradually form a collection !
of writings which may be referred to with sat
isfaction at a future day, whether to elucidate a
doubtful point, to refresh the memory, or to
compare with a more recent writer; that may i
be an ornament to any private library or eollec- I
tion; and that shall be cheaper than has ever
been issued.
The works collected in Foster’s Cabinet Mis- j
cellany, will be in every range if polite litera- ;
> ture. It is intended to suit, as /naffi as pos
sible, every taste, and by an agieeaole variety
I of subjects as well as styles, to keep up a heal
thy excitement for rational entertainment.
Works of great length, of severe and deep in
vestigation, and of the more abstruse sciences
will, of course, find no pl ice here. It is of the
cheerful, elegant and easy writings of the day,
that the selections will be made: always keep
ing in view, that only substantially good works
will be introduced: in order to which the pub
lisher will use every means to satisfy himself,
before he commits a work to press.
It is trusted that the Cabinet Miscellany will
be a melange of all that is valuable in modern
literature; it will assuredly be the medium of
introducing works which would hardly find
their way to the American public generally,
through any other source. It will present them
at prices varying from one-fourth to one-sixth,
and in some cases even one-eighth of the Eng- !
lish cost; and the execution, it is hoped, will
meet, with geneial approval.

OF THE
SOUTHERN REVIEW.
rfW be published at Washington, quarterly, in
JL an Bvo. No. of 275 to 300 pages, price $5
per annum, payable in advance. The place
is chosen, not only for its facilties of information
literary and political, but as that at which the
Southern State can be united upon the under
taking, with the greatest ease, and with the
comuletest exemption from all State or Party
jealousies.
Os the matter* three-fourths (say 225 pp.)
shall consist of regular Reviews-, making about
9of 25 pp. each. These must,as literary works
j at least, return as a general rule, somewhat to
wards that older method, now almost forgotten
and give a regular analysis ot the book reviewed,
it it be of any merit, in Politics and upon Oc
casional Topics, there may be a greater liberty
of deviating into mere disquistition.
In this portion of the Review, there will bo
given, in each No. a paper historical of th*.
■ Politics and general events of the day; U,
' serve as a Historical Register. Its execution
, will alway be committed to the strongest hands
' only; and its purpose, to give a unity and con
; sistency to the Public Doctrines of the Review
I such as can scarcely be so well effected in any
: other manner.
Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also ho
embo ied in this part of the plan, with a view
of favoring, in a certain degree, the more curi
ous studies; or to revive the knowledge of iin-
1 portant books, forgotten in the confusion of
modern learning.
Writers will be led, of regular purpose to give
their papers, wherever the subjecj will permit,
; the form of a Series-, in older not only that they
may thus afford a completer body ofinformatioN,
! serve, also, to re-print apart, for popular circu
; lation; a method that will much augment both
the reputation and usefulness of the Review.
A body tA Miscellanies(tsa.y some 50 pp.) will
form the subordinate and more amusing part
of the Journal. Its contents will be somewhat
! various; but will, for the most part, consist of
short Literary Notices; Ribliograpical Articles;
a critical hat of New Publications, foreign and
domestic, and general Literary, Intelligence.
! In Communications, the most compressed
mode of writing will be every where required.
Papers, in which the works do not bear a just
proportion to the information conveyed or the
effect intended, will be either rejected, without
scruple, or abridged, without mercy.
To warrant this exaction, the usual rate of
compansation to writers will be advanced to
2 1-2 dollars per printed page; a price that will
! offer f air remuneration to the talents and labor
which we wish to secure.

Federal Power: from the delusions o' Partv
Politics abroad, to call home the wise and brave
have often raised petty States into noble and
prosperous Commonwealths; to attach men,
if possible,to their birth-place,and convert them
from wandering and selfish adventurers, into
citizens, the lovers of civilization: to re-animate
public spirit, and give it purpose, as well as
energy; to hold, over Parlies and Politicians, the
tribunal of a Public Opinion far different from
that idle and corrupt one, of which the News
papar Press is the voice; for these purposes, to
diffuse through the land sound and well con-
j sidered public doctrines, with Knowledge and
Taste, their natural allies such will be the gen
eral aim oi that literary league, among the best

Os its critical purposes,it is not necessary to

strive to guide the popular taste towards the
best sources, in Knowledge, and the truest
models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will
however, found themselves upon dent of his
i temporary renown, nor that of his birth on
! this or the Ollier side ot the Atlantic. Towards
the few good writers, that want oi cultivation
’ has yet permitted us to have, in America, it will
know how to be respectful. But in Literature
! as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no man’s
bad commodity be forced upon us, under pat
riotic pretences. Upon all that school of wri
! ters, whose works, tor want of every other
merit, attempt to make themselves one, out of
the very fact that they are not English, an un

other great division of the invading army of
Dulness—the endless compilers of bad and
illiterate Schoolbooks—a sort that drive out
every thing humaue amongst us, bv poisoning
its very fountains, where thev pass. Over
these and whatever else of pernicicous the
Northern Press pours out upon us, a strict
supervision must, for our very safety, be main
tained.

i and heroical persons in general, that are still
alive: upon Charity or Missionary or Tem

and upon all Awful Disclosures whatever, the.

by notices, justls proportioned to the brevity of

flourishes greenly in the mording, and is cut
