TUiH. IF Veil JLOVE UK, S.IY SO*
BY JAMES KENNY, ESQ.
Dear Toni, ray brave, free-hearted lad,
Where’r you go, God bless you'.
You’d better speak than wish you had,
If love for me distress you,
To me, they say, your thoughts incline,
And possibly they may so;
Then, once for all, to quiet mine,
Toni, if you love me, say so.
On that sound' heart and inanly frame
Sits lightly, sport or labor,
Good-hunior’d, trank, anti still the same,
To parent, friend nr neighbor ;
Then why postpone your love to own
For me, from day to day so,
And let me whisper still alone,
Tom, it youlo?e me, say so.
How oft when I was sick, or sad
\\ ith some remember’d folly,
The sight of you has made me glad,—
And then most melancholy '.
Ah! why will thought of one so good
Upon my spirits prey so 1
By you it should be understood—
Tom, if you love me, say so.
Last Monday, at the cricket-match,
No rival stood before you;
In harvest-time, for quick despatch
The farmers still adore you ;
And evermore your praise they sing,
Though one thing you delay so,
And I sleep nightly murmuring,
Tom, if you love me, say so.
Wbate’er ofours you chance to seek
Almost before you breathe it,
I bring with blushes on my cheek,
A nd all my soul goes with it.
Why thank me, then, with voice so low,
And, faltering, turn away so 1
When next you come, before you go
Tom, if you love me say so.
When Jasper Wild beside the brook,
Resentful round us lower’d
I oft recall that lion-look, r
That quell’d the savage coward.
Bold words and free you uttered then :
Would they could find their way so;
When these moist eyes so plain’y mean,
Tom, if you love me, say so,
My friends, ’tis true, are well to do,
And your’s are pcor and friendless ;
Ah, no ! for they are rich in you,
Their happiness is endless;
You never let them shed a tear,
Save that on you they weigh so :
There’s one might bring you better cheer;
Tom, if you love me, say so.
My uncle’s legacy is all
For you, Tom, when you choose it:
In better hands it cannot fall,
Or better trained to use it:
I’ll wait for years, but let me not,
Unwoo’d, unplighted stay so .
Since wealth and worth make even lot,
Tom, if you love me, say so.
From the Knickerbocker of April.
Courtship.
AN EXTBACT.
“Former times cannot parrallel the present
in the longevity of its courtships. Many a
lover besieges the flint-walled heart of his mis
tress for a period greater than the Greeks re
quired to siege and sack Ilium. Right fre
quent are courtships that run the length of a
mortal generation, performed by modern epi
cures in love. Just think oi it a moment, broth
er bachelor! You fall in love with some lady
to night, quite accidentally, and to-morrow,
you commence a courtship, the purpose of
which is to nullify the robbery perpetrated by
her roguish eyes on your affections, by taking
hers in exchange. Day after day. and year
after year, you toil and dally on, now cheered
by a rosy smile that falls on your heart as
sweetly as the dew of Hermon, and now sad.
detied by a frown black as Erebus. Thus al
ternating, like a pendulum, between sunshine
and shadow, you keep time as regularly as a
town-clock, until your hair is streaked with
gray, the twilight of old age. In May, twenty
years after date, yoa promise to pay to the
blushing damsel, girt with satin and rainbow.
ed with ribbons, at your side, at the altar, on
demand, any amount of love and attentions that
her happiness may require. Would you not
take the blessed smile that breaks upon her
lips, when she promises to ‘love, honor and
obey’ you, as an ample recompense for all the
fears and troubles yon have suffered through
the long campaign, the stout probation of twen
ty years of courtship ! 'l'wenty years are
rather too long for the impatience of a warm- j
blooded lover; but better thus, than ah extem
poraneous wedding, after three days of eager
wooing. Six calendar months may be well
employed in courtship; and this is short
enough ; for who that plucks a blushing flow
er roughly from its parent stem, or enters the
land of promise with a stranger, can properly'
appreciate the bloom of the one, or the delights
of the other? Anticipation of pleasure is sweet,
but never more so, than when love’s honey
mingles with it.
’ A man should not be too cowardly nor too
•low in hi* courtships. The Bonapartean sys
tem of warfare nruy be used advantageously.
Concentrate the forces of your charms on the
enemy’s weakest points, and depend upon it,
her human nature can not resist you long.
The ladies make use of the Parthian tactics.
As the foe approaches, they fail back, mean
while keeping up a brisk fire with the missiles
which they, the world over, use so skilfully.
Glances brilliant as flashing steel—smiles that
are daggers to man’s affections—blushes, that
glow like the evening’s purple on the far-off
cloud—though's and words that mean more
than they express—all fall on the attacking
party with an influence fatal to bachelorism.
Ihe fashionable system may be illustrated
as follows. A gentleman, whiskered, and
scowling, and looking as fierce as belligerent
Mars, encounter* a lady whose smile is per
fectly bewitching. This is a lure, and a sig.
nal of warfare. Mars approaches Venus, and
•he, reflecting a portion of his own fiery red
ness, blushes, and effects a transit to some
other place in illimitable space. He pursues
her with ths most indefatigable vigor. Scenes
<uf dramatic interest soon transpire. They
■ meet most fortuitously on all occasions ; at
parties they glance with savage fierceness at
each other ; he strives to persuade her that
he is earnest and sincere, while she hops from
him like a crippled sparrow', at times turning
round and smiling, after the manner of the im
mortals, upon him. They strive to avoid each
other; but the fates have decreed their uni»n,
and accidents bring them together. The gen.
tieman bristles up and declares himself, and
the lady puts her hand in her pocket, and sig
nifies to him that she has better use for it.
He snatches "courage from despair, and re
commences his sui/, with an ardor all-defying.
She flies away on easy wing awhile,until, sat
isfied or fatigued!withherlong-sustained flight,
she comes fluttering to earth at last. The game
is his. They wed. Their romance is a tale
ofthe past. Their poetry is gone. They are
soon numbered among the prose articles in the
great periodical of human existence !
Go on lovers, and know the bliss of court
ship * If your love is mutual, your pleasure
will be elysian. Your barques are floating
on the surface of a sunny sea, fragrant winds
fill your sails, and breathe in music over the
flashing waters. Fur before, your cynosure,
the star of hope, is gleaming forth its twinkling
radiance. Let discretion be your helmsman,
and after a blissful voyage, you shall enter the
haven of love, on the shore of that rosy sea.
What though the undulating wave may con
jure Up dark fears before you ? It will hut
break the tedium of the passage : and when
your dangers are over, your joys will be more
brilliant in proportion to the depth of the shad
owstrethe back-ground of the past.” S.
A POEM OF THE OLDEN TIME.
A lady has obliged us with the following,
: selected from a Common-place Book which
was compiled by her mother some fifty years
ago.
Oh! Lady fair, these silks of mine
Are beautiful and rare ;
The richest web of India’s loom,
Which Beauty’s self might wear.
And those pearls are pure as thine own fair neck,
With whose radiant light they vie ;
I have brought them with me a weary way—
IVill my gentle lady buy ?
The lady smiled on the worn old man
Through her dark and clustering curls,
Which veiled her brow as she bent to view
The gold and glittering pearls.
She placed the price in the old man’s hand,
And lightly turned away,
But she paused at the wanderer’s earnest Call—■
“Will my gentle lady stay 1”
Oh! lady fair, I've yet a gem,
Which a purer lustre flings
Than the diamond cross on the jewelled crown
Os the lofty brow of kings.
A wonderful pearl of exceeding price,
■ Whose virtue shall not decay—
Whose light shall be as a spell to thee,
And a blessing on thy way.
Ttie lady looked at the mirroring steel
Where her form of grace was seen,
Where her eye shone clear, and her dark locks
waved
Their clasping pearls between.
Bring forth thy pearl of exceeding price,
Thou traveller gray and old,
And name the price of thy precious gem,
And my pages shall count thy gold.
The cloud went off from the pilgrim’s brow
As a smile and meagre book,
Unchafed with gold or diamond gem,
From his folding robe he took.
Here, lady fair, is the pearl of price,
May it prove as such to thee ;
Nay—keep thy gold, I ask.it not,
For the word of God is free.
The weary traveller went his way,
But the gift he left behind,
Hath had its pure and perfect work
In that high born maiden’s mind ;
And she hath turned from the pride of sin
To the lowlinss of truth,
And given her human heart to God
In the beautful time of youth.
And she hath left those grey old walls
Where an evil faith has power,
The knightly courts of her father’s train
And the maidens of her bower.
And she hath gone to the Vaudois’ vale,
By lordly feet untrod,
Where the poor and needy of earth are rich)
In the perfect love of God.
Hard times! Hard times!!
Every body is complaining of the times.
The times are somewhat out of joint—‘true
it is. and pity ’tis true. Still they are not so
very, very bad, after all. I f the rich man
pays more fortbe enjoyments of his accustom
ed luxuries, he receives more rent for his hou
ses, and heavier interest on his loans. If the
poor man pays more for flour, meat, and but
ter, he gets more for his labor. Still it must
be admitted, we all feel that the times'are not
so good as they wore wont to be—.their wheels
are dry and creaking—and their'progress lum
bering and reluctant.
To a good natured man, all these things
at all times, are just as they ought to be, —
We wanted a slight agitation, a small shake
to adjust the times, and settle down things in
their proper places.
‘Sweet are the uses of adversity,
That like a toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head.’
We have heretofore been running riot.—
Good fortune was turning our heads. Every
one began to dream that he was, or was about
Ito be, wealthy. Small houses were voted un
genteel. Plain dresses were discarded even
by cooks and waiting maids.—Even mechan
ics and clerks could not see their friends in an
old-fashioned, sensible way, but must have
parties, parade their plate and their folly give
sumptuous banquets to gaping crowds, anil de
light their friends by spend ng more money I
than they earned, and getting bank accommo
dations to make up the deficit. The girls must
have expensive harps—the boys delighted in
fast trotting horses. New furniture was re
quired every few winters—for how could they
bear the musty old-fushioned lumber when
Mrs. So and So, next door neighbour, had
furnished her parlors with splendid articles,
fresh from Paris and of the newest pattern.
Thus were our people running into habits of
extravagance. The mania for parade, ex
pence, prevaded all classes. Every one spent
more than he ought, and many, more than they
honestly could. Well, the reverse has come
and what do we see ?—Nobody is prepared
for tho rainy day. Every body complains of
the hard times, and alleges that, at the present
rates, it is impossible to live. Some folks
have strange notions of living.
A few days since, Charles A —, enter-
ed his splendid parlors, after the labors ofthe
day, and threw himself dejectedly on one ol
the ottomans. His young wife, with the rea
dy apprehensions of love, saw the cloud upon
his brow, and endeavored to dispel it. For
once her arts failed. Iler light and joyous
laugh met no response—even her lively and
winning endearments w ere, for the first, the
only time unanswered. She was distressed,
alarmed—and entreated him to confide with
her the cause of his dejection. He complied
—and told her with a faltering tongcre and a
pallid lip, the story of his troubles. llis busi
ness was unable to sustain his expenses. He
was spending more much more than his income;
he felt that if he continued, he must be a ruin
ed 1 man—and his family—those whom he lov
ed more than life, must be beggared.
‘ls that all ?’ said his wife, ’nothing is mote
easily corrected. It is true that we pay 12
1-2 cents for beef; ®l2 for flour ; and’our
colored mao asks a dollar more a week, and
the chambermaid says she must have a half
dollar more wages : and coal is $9 a ton ;
and our rent has been raised a hundred dollars
a year ; and —’
Her husband groaned—she paused in hers
s terrifying recapitulation, and resumed—‘ But
' u hat of all that? As for the rent, our family
’ is small and we can live quite as comfortably
; in a smaller house in a cheaper street And
that horse of your’s, Charles, v. hich costs more
• than would sustain a family ’
1 ‘I will part with him—for u ith bis o hor
; teats of fast trotting, he is helping to trot me
; to ruin.’ °
■ ‘You can then dispense with the. colored
. man, and I will give up one ofthe girls thev
; j are only in the way. Then wo will omit our
. customary winter parties ; I can see my friends
1 more comfortably if I know that the enjoyment
. does not cost me more than you can afford.
We will not keep so many fires while coal is
: so dear; and I will see that less wood is used
i in the kitchen.’
’ She proceeded in her list of refornta : and I
. after mutually agreeing to cut off all rediindant'
expenses, they were delighted to find that with- j
out parting with a. single actual comfort, thev j
could not only bring their expenses within !
’Charles’ income, but secure a handsome sav-
’ ing for a rainy day.
3 A few evenings after this, we stept in to see
Charles in his new residence; and never did
we see his face beam with so real and genuine
u delight; never did we hear the music il laugh
of his wife ring out with so natural a joyous- ;
ness.
I To those who complain of hard times, we
’ commend their example.

J
On the Culture of Asparagus.
BY A. FORSYTH.
There is, perhaps, no article in the culture of
which, more unnecessary forms are gone thro’
than with this. We see the plant (a native of’
Britain) covered with six inches or perhaps
1 foot of soil or litter, in winter, to keep the
frost from it or to mulch it when it is in a dor
maut state ; though we may as well mulch a
layer of seed potatoes at Michaelmas, to bene
fit their buds for the succeeding summer.
But to come to the point, and that is, to cul
tivate asparagus to the highest state of perfec
tion at the lowest charges. Let a heap of
manure, equal to a layer of 9 inches deep all
over tho ground intended for asparagus, be
prepared of the following materials One
third good loamy turf or turf of sandy peat;
and two-thirds of the best manure from the
stable and cattle layers ; with about two bush
e;s of dry’ bones to every pole of ground.
The turf ought to be pared off, and piled up, a
year previous to its being wanted ; and the
manure properly mixed and fermented at least
six weeks before. The bone manure may be
spread over the rest before they are trenched I
into the quarter. In the proness of trenching,
let the manure be equally incorporated with
every part. In planting, let one year old plants
bo inserted 1 inch below the level of the sur
face. in lines alternately 9 inches and 3 feet
apart, in the same way as peas are generally
planted. If the plot be extensive, paths, 3 1-2
feet wide, may be run across the rows, at the
distance of 16 feet apart, to prevent wheeling,
and, as mu-ch as possible, walking between the
lines. The plants may be from 4 to 6 inches
apart in the row, bedded and covered with
leaf soil, or stable litter reduced to a soil; and,
as mulching with half rotten manure, and ex
tensive waterings in dry weather, are the prin
cipal features of culture, it is indispensably
necessary that the ground be effectually drain- •
ed, summer drought and winter saturation be
ing the grand evils to be guarded against. (
From the latter end of May till Michaelmas '
is the time that asparagus is generally left
without any culture, except routine weeding,
&c. Now, this is almost the only season that
any culture can be of much service to the
plant; for it is evident, tint, if we encourage
the plants whilst they are in a state of active
devolopement, that is, when they are shooting
up to seed, by forking, frequent hoeing, mulch
ing, and watering between the rows, as if flow
ers and seed were all we wanted, wo shall in
vigorate the plants, and enable them to form
fine plump crowns for next season : but I can
not see how banking the beds up with soil, or
mulching them with strawy litter before win
ter (the roots being then in a state of rest.)
can be of any great service to the plants. A
short time before the buds appear in spring, a
little fine soil may be drawn over the crowns,
in order to blanch the lower halves of the buds.
In cutting, let the earth bo first scraped a
way from the bud, that the gatherer may see
where and what he is about to cut. Two or
three years must elapse, after planting, before
any buds can be profitably gathered for use ;
after which term, the lines may bo allowed to
remain until they become straggling and un
productive. In most gardens, however, they
arc generally wanted for forcing after six or
seven years’ bearing; in which case only a
I very slight hot bed is necessary (sav 80 deg.
bottom heat,) with 2 or 3 inches of any soil
under r.nd about the roots; and 5 or 6 inches
of old tan, or any light soil, over them: at
mospheric temperature about 55 deg.
Roots, placed between two layers of soil in
pots or boxes, may be introduced into any ear- 1
iy forcing house at work; or trenches may
be cut between the lines in the open ground,
and hot manure or leaves introduced under
hoops and mats. Beds for forcing asparagus,
with trendies between cased «vith brick work,
I consider as expensive and unprofitable.

To raise forward potatoes.— lt is stated in
the New England Farmer, that potatoes ex
posed to a warm sun a few days before plant
ing, will be a week more forward than those 1
planted in the common way. As the experi
ment will cost but little tiouble, we think it '
woith the trial, and would suggest to those
who make it, to favor us with the result of ,
their respective experiments, as all such things ,
tend to add to lhe sum of agricultural knowl- ]
edge, and inspire an esprit du corps, highly

i\eto method of propagating apple trees.— ]
Anew plan so-t increasing plantations of apple ;
trees, has lately been put into extensive prac- <
tice by the horticulturists of Bohemia. Nei- I
tlier seeds nor grafting are required. The >
process is to take shoots from the choisest sorts !
insert them in a potato, and plunge both into (
the ground, leaving but au inch or two of the j
shoot above the surface. The potato nour
ishes tho shoot, while it pushes out roots, and ;
the shoot gradually up and becomes a •
beautiful tree, bearing tllFbest fruit, without. 1
requiring to be grafted. <
j Whatever may bathe success of the under- '
taking, its novelty is at least, an inducement to j
give it a fair trial Ih.
To destroy Lice on Cattle.— First, make a 1
decoction of tobacco, or an ointment of Scotch
snuff’ and fish oil, and wash; or rub tho infested
I parts.- Second, make a strong tea of Lark. ,

rfflHE object of th Company is to elevaU
•A the general staiard of literature in j/fe
United States, by inttilucing into commori/use,
an improved uniform ries of’eiementaiyjwoks,
and stimulating nativjalent, by securing to au
thors the publisher’s rofit on other titan school I
books.
The plan is, the oiinization of a company
with sufficient capitao publish all books writ-
I ten by native author winch may be approved
| by a committee of plication, at the risk ofthe
j company, who shall hv over to the author all
I profit on the sales, aft- deducting the printer’s
! charges and incident ex|»’nses.
| it is proposed to mjufaeture the paper used
in printing, and thusave lhe expense of dry
ing it for market, putig it into bundles, trans
portation to market,prnmission, interest and
guaranties, equal atljst to twenty per eent.
A greater saving cj be made by tins eiuploy
ment of boys in coiiosition. This, with the
prefils on pcriodicaiireprints, and elementary
books, will secure tjthe stockholders a good
' dividend.
j By requiring eacliekrk, foreman, paper-ma
i ker, journeyman, poof-reader, and all others j
connected with theCbmpany, to hold a ceitain '
amount of stock jrcportioiied to their salary,
which, when it ha sot been paid in advance,
will be liquidated b a sinking fund out of their
earnings, and held:object, to be. assigned to tho
successor of each, ipt>n condition that such suc
cessor shall be afiwcd to pay for it by a de
duction from his eiriiings, each person attached
to the Company bic,times ti stockholder, and, to
the extent of his stock, interested in the suc
cess of the instihticn. This feature will be
rigidly enforced, aid in ease any cue in the em
ployment of the Company shall, for any cause,
be dismissed or lave its service, his stock will
assigned to hi successor.
Agencies willbe established in the large ci
tiesj where the Company’s books can always
be had at the wholesale prices. Booksellers and
country merchaits who sell books, now pay a
profit to thepapr maker, another to the printer,
and a third to tis publishers. Those who sub
scribe stock in his Company will receive books
to the amount ofthe slock so subscribed; it be
ing understood tiat the dividend ou their stock,
to the amount ofsix per eent. per annum only,
shall be charged asdnterest, and that all divi
dend above six per cent, shall be paid to such
stockholders. The Company thus guarantee
to booksellers a dividend ofsix per cent, per an
num on the amount of their stock, and the pa
per maker’s profit, the printer’s profit, and the
publisher’s profit, over and beyond their own
profit as booksellers.
The advantage to the Company is, that all
the stockholders will be interested in getting
work for lhe Company's office, and that each
stockholder will always give a preference to the
Company’s paper uni the Company’s books
over those of other makers and publishers.
Such an arrangement with the booksellers will
enable the Company, by means of a circular ad
dressed to their correspondents, enclosing the
report oftheir committee of publication, to know
how many copies of any new book can be sold,
and thus protect them against all loss by ascer
taining in advance if a proposed work can be
sold; for if it cannot be sold, the Company will
not print it.—Thus the interests of authors,
publishers and booksellers will be reconciled,
by creating a community in which the rights of
each will be secured, the public benefitted by
the introduction of a uniform series of improved
school books, and the B'outh protected against
the introduction of any matter tending in the
most remotedegrec to assail our institutions and
property. And when we take into considera
tion the fact that these are now held against, the
prejudices of the world—that a society with
more than five hundred anxiliary associations
spread over many of the States of this Union,
with immense sums for the gratuitous distribu
tion of tracts and pamphlets, have declared uni
versal emancipation, remember the influence
which early impressions have on the natural
mmd, all must see the importance of guarding
against the admission into our elementary books
ofany matter which may mislead the feeling or
judgment.
Inasmuch as the sale of school books is much
greater, and the value ami profit depends much
more on the publisher, the Company will divide
the profit with the author or compiler on all ele
' mentary books. This arrangement will place
all authors and compilers on the same footing;
and inasmuch as the Company will have no in
■ terest in the copy-right beyond a contract for
the exclusive right to publish until a better or
improved book is produced by some other au
thor, the Company will be always inviting, and
in fact offering a premium for better and im
proved books. As it now is, every author en
counters the competition of publishers who have
the copy-rights of rival books. This Compa r
ny will be an impartial umpire, ready to place
each new competitor on the same footingas the
most favored party. Its object being to publish
the best book, and the profit being the same on
ciiher, the preference will always be given to
that which deservesit.

OF THE
A WEEKLY PAPER,
TO BE PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK,
, Glynn Co. Georgia.
rBNHE causes which render necessary the es
tablishment of this Press, and its claims to
the support ofthe 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, oi itself,
would be sufficient to render its growth rapid,
audits importance permanent; for the best port
South ofthe Potomac must become the site of a
great commercial city. But when to this is ad
ded the singular salubrity of the. climate, free
jrom 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 that Brunswick contains alj the
requisites for a healthy and populous city. 1 hus
much has been the work of Nature, but already
Art has begun to lend her aid to this favored spot,
and the industry of man bids fair to increase its
capacities, rind add to its importance a hundred
fold. In a few months, a cana’will open to the
harbour ol Bruns’wick the vast and fertile coun
try through which flow the Altamaha, and its
great tributaries. \ Rail Road will shortly be
commenced, terminating at Pensacola, thus
uniting the waters ofthe Gulf ol Mexico with
the Atlantic Ocean. Other Kail Roads inter
secting the State in various directions, will make
Brunswick their depot, and a large portion of
the Valley ofthe Mississippi will yet find its way
to her wharves. Such, in a few words, arc the
principal causes which w ill operate in rendering
Brunswick Che principal city ofthe 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
ofthe 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
ing objects of this Press.
Such being its end and aim. interference in the
party politics ofthe dtiy would be improperand
impolitic. Brunswick has received benefits
from —it has friends in till parties, and every ■
consideration is opposed to rendering its Press
the organ of a party. To the citizens of Geor- i
aiii—and not to tihe members of a party—to the :
friends of Bruuswicli—to the advocates of Inter- I
nal Improvement—to the considerate and re- '
fleeting—do we apply (or aid and support.

weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for

ofthe newest and most entertaining, though, in

a weekly newspaper. By this method, we hope
to accomplish a great good ; to enliven and eu- j
lighten the family circle, and to give to it, at an
expense which shall be no consideration to tiny,
a mass of reading, that, in book form, would
alarm the pockets of the prudent, and to do it
in a manner that the iiiost sceptical shall ac

' ’ FOR PUBLISHING..
• 1 THE SOUTHERN BOTANIC JOURNAL
1
i ! 11l Compliance with the numerous solicita- !
i ! tions of the friends of the Thomsonian System,
; j the Subscribers have concluded to publish a
. j paper to be called THE SOUTHERN BOTAN
; | IC JOURNAL, to be devoted to the support of
; I the Thomsonian System ofpractice of medicine,
- | by publishing such facts in relation to the cause
[■ j Rs will convey correct knowledge to the people,
r ; and Useful information to those who have adop
. I ted the prac ice in their own families.
1 i The JovrNal will have nothing to do with
. I politics or religion* but shall be deveted to the
. j true interest of the South, sso far as is consistent
a with the original design ofthe work. It shall
, be the constant aim of the publishers to lay be
» fore their readers all the information they can,
3 with regard to the above practice, in the form
1 of essays, and correct reports of difficult cases
i the treatment ofthe same, and the rationale of
j the remedies—to select from other works all the
information calculated to be useful and interes
ting to the readers of the Botanic Journal.
The publishers will endeavor to render this
work a book ot reference for the Planter and
others who possess Thomson’s family right.
They flatter themselves that they will be able
to lay morsels before the scientific reader as
1 will be seasoned to his taste—they will endeavor
’ to deserve the support and attention of the
philanthropist, at least in intention, if not in real
merit. The friend of truth shall find his cause
advocated on every page as the Botanic Journal,
as thev are determined not to swerve from
' truth, nor suffer their prejudices to suppress
? any thing that is likely to prove beneficial to
J their fellow man. The cause of humanity shall !
be fearleastly advocated, and no pains spared I
" to render the work worthv of its patrons.

OF THE •
SCSTHEBSJ REVIEW.
FgriO be published at Washington,quarterly, in
JL an bvo. No. ot 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- i
taking, with the greatest ease, and with the |
comidetest exemption from all State or Party !
jealousies. I
Ofthe matter 1 three-fourths (say 225 pp.)
shall consist of regular Review::; making about
oof 25 pp. each. These must,as literary works
at leas!, return as a general rule, somewhat to
wards that older method, now almost forgotten
and give a regular analysis of the book reviewed,
it it be of any merit. In Po/ilics and upon Oc
casional Topics, there may be a greater liberty j
of deviating into mere disquistition.
In this portion of the Review, there will bo !
given, in each No. a paper historical of the
Politics and general events of the day; te !
serve as a Historical Register. Its execution I
will alway be committed to the strongest hands !
only; and its purpose, to give a unity and con- I
sistency to the Public Doctrines ofthe Review
such as can scarcely be so well effected in any
other manner;
Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also be
embodied in this part ofthe plan, with a view !
of favoring, in a certain degree, the more curi
ous studies; or to revive the knowledge of im
portant books, forgotten in the confusion of 1
modern learning.
Writers will be led, of rcgula.l 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 j
the reputation and usefulness of the Review.
A body of Alisce//am'es(say some 50 pp.) will :
form the subordinate arid more amusing part !
of the Joi -nal. Its contents will be somew hat '
various; but will, for the most part, consist of
short Literary Notices; Bibliograpical Articles; ’
a critical list of New Publications, foreign and j
domestic, and general Literary, Intelligence. j
! In Communications, the most compressed :
mode of writing willbe 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.
j To warrant this exacttur,, the usual rate of
! compansation te writers will be advanced to
i 2 1-2 dollars per printed page; a price that will
! offer fair remuneration to the talents and labor
' which we wish to secure.
Os this revival of a Review of the South, tho
I purpose is, to give once more to our region, (now
J eminently needing it) an Interpreter and a De
l fender; the common Representative of our In®
i slit'.'.tions, and ofthe Mind itsef among us. Such
; m that great Congress of Opinion, where the
j fates of civilized nations are now so largely
! settled, we do not possess and we have already
I suffered much for it. It is timeto make our
selves understood and respected there. The
[ Journal which shall do this, must combine the
general strength of all who, throughout the
i South, love the country, and are capable of
j doing it intellccted service. It must, then, be,
not tho champion or the propagandist of local
| opinions, but the friend of all that pursue the
i public good. Into the vulgar methods of Poli
! tics, debased by Partizan rancour, or corrupted
! by the interest, or overborne by the popular
I passion ofthe hour, it must not fall.—From it,
j the pride of lhe Nullifier “muts receive no di
minutiomthe fidelity oftheVnionis no rep.oaeb!
j —lt must be no vantage-ground to either part.
; nor serve but as an equal field, where the.ia. vrill
l only contend which shall most
cause of the South, and of that
! of Jeffersonian State Rights, avowed by both
I parties alike, and now the only hope of rallying
i and oi rescuing tfie country.
To vindicate, than, our pecular Instituitoiis;
j to rebel with argument, lest presently we be
; forced to rebel with arms, all interference with
: our domestic condition; against the wild rule
i of mere Chance and Corruption, to uphold a
( Republican and Federative, as distinguished
I from a Democratic and Consolidating adminis
! (ration tidministration of the National affairs:
j from the disorders of the Central government
Where Reform is hopeless and even useless,,
till you have given yourselves stronger and j
wiser local systems—to direct the publie view
towards a home policy of the Slate, capable,
through itself! to confer upon us the blessings ot
well-ordered Liberty, expected in vain from the
Federal Power: from the delusions o' Party
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 birt.h-place,and convert them, '
from wandering and selfish adventurers, into j
citizens, the lovers of civilization: to re-animate j
public spirit, and give it purpose, as well
energy; to hold, over Parties 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 laud sound and well con-t
sidered public doctrines, with Knowledge and
Taste, their natural allies such will be the gen- |
end aim of that literary league, among the best'
talents of the country, which has been set cn I
foot, in the present undertaking.
Os its critical purposes.it is not necessary to I
speak so minutely. In general, it will of course !
strive to guide the popular taste towards the !
best sources, in Knowledge, and the truest i
models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments w ill ,
however, found themselves upon dent of his !
temporary renown, nor that of bis birth on
this or tlje oilier slue of the Atlantic. Towards
the few good writers, that want of cultivatioi
has yptpermitted us to have, in America, it wil
knoyr how to be respectful. But in Literature
as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no man’i
bad commodity be forced upon us, under pat
riotic pretences. Upon all that school of wri
ters, whose works, fir want of every othci
■ merit, attempt to make themselves one, out ol !
j .very fact that they are not English, an un- .
! ’dug war will be waged; nor less upon’ that ;
. • great division of the invading army of
. iess—the endless compilers of bad and
S'.'.-'Z"rate Schoolbooks—a sort that drive out
’y thing hnmtiuc amongst us, by poisoning
3j very fountains, where they pass. Ovei I
j these and whatever else of pernieicous ths

I tained.

EMBRACING
A CAREFUI.I.Y SELECTED SERIES OF THE NEWEST
PUBLICATIONS ON A VARIETY OF SUB
JECTS, INTERESTING TO ALL
WHO EESIRE TO
MAKE THEMSELVES ACQUAINTED WITH THE
BEST LITERARY PRODUCTIONS OF THE
FIRST WRITERS OF THE DAY,
gjf’BLLSHEI) in weakly numbers, 72 pp.
IL Elegantly printed in a liandsorne duodecimo
form, in a new and clear type, and dn good pa
per. Price-12 2-1 cents per number, or $5 per,
annum, in advance.
Although this work is published peribdcally;
n order that the public taste of novelty, may, ill
some measure, be accommodated, it may either
be procured in Nos. weekly, in vols., eafch work
complete and distinct in itself, or by subscrip
tion by the year—so, that while it unites all the
I advantages to nome readers, ofthe small outlay
i at stated periods attendant upon periodical pubJ
! lientions, those who may haiie an objection to”
take upon themselves the trouble of preserving,
single numbers, have the option of purchasing
entire whatever work es the series they ma*
think proper, in any manner most congenial to’
their wishes or circumstances.
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
;I. of Foster’s Cabinet Miscellany. It is follow,-)
ed by a “Steam Voyage down the Danube, with
! Sketches of Hungary, Wallachia, Servia, Tur
! key, Ac.” By Michael J'. Quit), author of a
‘Visit to Spain,’ Ac. The first part of which
lias already appeared. Both these works liave
! been noticed by the reviewers of England with
i unqualified praise.
The proprietor of this work is impressed with
■ the opinion that independently of abstruse and
: learned treatises, there is an ample demand, on
the part ofthe reading public for literary matter
of a higher denomination than the new works.
; of fiction wlndian' at present so prodigally dis
! seininatcd among them, nnd for books that shall
; have a higher aim th; n the mera amusement
I and gratification of th< idle; lie feels assured
i also that with a moderate degree of care and
research, selections may easily be made atnung
._ tlw hteraturc of the day, which shall not be de-
I ficient in rational amusement, even while they
are serving the nobler purposes of informing
I the mind, or improving the experience. With
; this opinion and assurance lie has been induced
to commence the present series, in which he
will endeavor to embody subjects worthy of
being collected and retained, for the purjx.se of
re-perusal, reflection, or reference, and which
may not deteriorate the character of a gentle-'
■ man’s library.
"dr. Constable, of Edinburgh,'was the first to
discover that a signal service might be perform
ed to the world, by embodying, in a cheap and
compact form, a series <»f publications that
should have utility as their primary object, but!
rational amusement in the manner of their con
coction. By issuing a small poition at a time,
and in frequent succession, he conceived that
he should impel the generality of his readers—'
not the studious or the literary ones, of course
—to keep up with the publication, and not allow
their reading to run in arrear. By a well-timed
and well-judged selection ol articles it is believ
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-’
cd in the wish for information. Usefill matter
I was published at n comparatively cheap rate, it
I was continually accumulating, yet the expense
F was hardly felt. Encouraged Ly his success,
i i the enterprising publisher began to insert new
matter in his selections, and lhe public in return
rewarded c-urtiens and <’lU-
! larged patronage.
( Were Constable’s Miscellany current in the
United States, perhaps the publisher of the pre
sent series would nut have found it expedient
to commence the latter work. But, be it re
membered, that in speaking ofthe cheapness of
Constable, it is but relatively— as compared with
the publications in Great Britain generally,
i which is dearer than tiiat of any part of the
world. Constable’s Miscellany is publiihed nt
’ about ball theEnglisli rate, but the present work,
purposes to be at one-third even of Constable.-
I he object then of Foster's Cabinet Miscella-’
ny may be easily explained. It is to introduce
to the reading public, a series of works that
shall blend entertninment with information—
that shall take off the edge of the voracious ap
petite for mere fiction, which has been brought
! on by too great a profusion of works of that de
; ssription—that shall gradually form a coll: etion
; of writings which may be referred to w ith sat
| isfaction at a future day, whether to elucidate a
doubtful point, to refresh the memory, or to
i compare with a more recent writer; that may
be an ornament to any private library oreollec--
tioii; and that shall be cheaper than h.-.s ever
been issued.
i he'works collected in Foster’s Cabinet Mis
, cellany, will be in every range jfpflitc litera
| ture. It is intended to suit, us .-n.i.di as pos-'
sidle, every taste, and by an agieeaole variety
ol subjects as well ns styles, to keep up a heal
thy excitement (or rational entertainment.
I Horas oi great length, of severe and deep in
; ' estigntion, and of the more abstruse sciences
will, of course, find no pl ice here. It is ofthe
; cheerful, elegant and easy writings of the day,
that the selections willbe made: always, keep
! iug in view, that only substantially good works
will be introduced: :n order to wiiich 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 niodcrn
literature; it will assuredly be the medium ot
introducing works which would hardlv find
their way to the .American public generally,
through any ether source. It will present theitt
at prices vary ing from one-fourth to one-sixth,-
; and in some cases even one-eighth ofthe Eng
; lish cost; and the execution, it is hoped, will
meet with general approval.
