THE
CASKET,
OR FLOWERS OF
LITERATURE, WIT
AND
SENTIMENT.
l-OR 1627.
Office of the Saturday Kv. post.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2. 1826.
THE CASKET, or Flotcers of Literature,
}Vit and Sentiment, which has had an unpre
cedented increase of patrons during the lust
six months, will after the present volume is
finished, contain, each number, 40 octavo
pages, printed licit, on smull handsome type,
upon the finest paper, stitched and covered,
and furnished at the low price of Two Dollars
and fifty cents per annum. The Casket is a
collec.ion from the choicest pieces of the Sat
urday Evening Post, made with a refference
to the. ditference which should exist in the
materials of a weekly paper, and those of a
monthly publication, the former of course en
riched with essays, poetry, anecdotes, and
those set oil" by a recital of the occurrences of
Ihe week The latter can receive little value
from a mere detail of events, many of which
would cease to be interesting before they
were rci • ded.
Tlie vast quantity of matter crowded, by
smal! type and careful arrangement, into the
columns of every number of tlie Saturday
Evening Post, will in the course of a month,
furnish the most ample materials from which
to form au interesting |>eriodicat work such
as the Casket has- been considered by its
partial friends, and such as we intend it shall
be. Notwithstanding the fact, that tlie Cas
ket is but a colisetion from the columns of
the Saturday Evening i’ n st, we confidently
predict, and indeed we are sanctioned in the
experience we already have, that its most
numerous patrons will be found among the
subscribers to our weekly paper. —A large
number of those who take the “Post” de
pend upon that paper for the news of the
week —it is therefore read with avidity by
almost every member of tiic family where it
is received, and this general use frequently
injures i;s appearance so much as almost to
render it unfit tor the file, or fur binding.
The numbers too, by this general use, are not
unfrequcntly lost, mutilated, or entirely des
troyed, and the file thus broken.—The Casket
is calculated to prevent this inconvenience,
and to furnish, at a very cheap price, all the
useful matter, for which the weekly paper
would be desirable when bound.—ln thus
giving a permanent form and select associa
tion to tlie choice pieces.of our weekly con
tributors, it is confidently anticipated that
new and successful in J.«ements will be held
out for the exercise of superior talent, and
unusual care in our literary department.—ln
addition to tlie recommendation of neatness
in the general appearance —and particular
attention to the typographical execution, it is
our intention to embellish each number of the
“Casket” with three Handsome Engravings
from the hands of some of the most distin
guished artists of tiie country.
With these claims to patronage, the “Cas
ket” will, as has been previously mentioned,
be afforded to those who subscribe for that
paper exclusively, at the low price of $2,50
per year, a subscription which it is confident
ly believed, is much lower than that for any
other publication of a similar character iu
this country —but to the subscribers of tlie
“Saturday Evening Post” tiie “Casket”
will be furnished for $2,00.
Tlie January No. foi 1827, will be em
bellished with a portrait of the late venerable
JOHN ADAMS, formerly President of the
United .States, one of Longacre's best engrav
ings ; also a correct and beautiful view of
FAIR MOUNT WATER WORKS, in the
vicinity of Philadelphia; In sides the first No.
of the SCHOOL OF FLORA, being the
commencement ofa regular series of Treaties
on Botany, illustrated with numerous cuts.
Post-Masters and publishers of papers who
will interest tliemselves in obtaining subscri
bers, and be responsible for the subscription,
shall be entitled to every sixth copy gratis.

At the commencement of hostili*
ties, in 1775. Bishop being too old
for active service, was left at home
in charge of the manufacturing es*-
tablishments of the household, where
the veteran would llourish his cane,
exacting as perfect obedience as tlio’t
he had been on parade. A com-
Inrlablc house had been built for
him; he had married; and, looking
no more toward his native land, ho
was contented to pass the remainder
of his days on the domain of his pat
ron, where ho rested from labor, ib
the enjoyment of every possible easo
and indulgence—the reward of his
long and faithful services. In his
comfortable homestead, and library
with age he would delight the young
with tales of fearful interest of the
Indian wars—while, his own wars
ended, and at peace with tho world
he feebly trimmed the lamp of life,
which, having burned for more than
eighty years, could hut for a little
while longer he kept Rom sinking iU
its sock'-t.
Notwithstanding his perfect rev
erence for his patron, this old soldier
would sometimes presuming on tho
privilege of age aud long services,
chafe his protector on points of ex
pediency, though never on those cif
obedience. The General would as
sume a lofty tone, saying, it is very
well, sir; if you are at length tired of
my service, you are at perfect liber
ty to depart. The ancient follower
of Braddock, however, knew bis
man, and knew exactly what host to
do; he wisely became silent, and tho
storm w hich appeared to he brood
ing quickly passed away, w'hen a*tc»
turning sunshine cheered with tho
warmth of its kindness the veteran
of 56.
The Washington family were sub
ject to here dilary gout —the Chid*
never experienced a pang. His tem

seemed to forbid the approach of u
disease, which severely afflicted sev
