24 (General Articles. EARLY RISING. Buffort rose always with the sun. and he used often to tell by what means he had accustomed himself to get out of bed so early. “In my youth,’’ said he, “I was very fond oi sleep; it robbed me of a great deal of my time. but my poor Joseph (his domestic) was oi great service in enabling me to overcome it. 1 promised to give Joseph a crown every time that he could make me get up at six. The next morning he did not tail to awake and torment me; Dut he received only abuse. The day after he did the same, with no better suc cess, and I was obliged at noon to confess that I had lost my time. I told him, that he did not know how to manage his business; that he ought to think of my promise and not to mind mv threats. The day following he employed force; I begged for indulgence, I bid him begone, I stormed but Joseph persisted. I was therefore obliged to comply, and he was rewarded every day for the abuse which he suffered at the moment I awoke, by thanks ac companied with a crown, which he recieved about an hour after. Yes, lam indebted to poor Joseph for ten or a dozen of the volumes of my work.” WOMAN. That venerable people—the ancients to those whom we call the ancients—the wise Egyptians, in the disposition which they allot ted to the genders of their nouns, paid a sin gular and delicate compliment to the fair sex. In the four elements, begining with water, they appointed the ocean, as a rough boiste rous existence, to the male sex; but streams and fountains they left to the more gentle fe males. As to earth, they made rocks and stones male; hut arable and meadow lands fe male. Air they divided thus: to the. mascu line gender, rough winds and hurricanes of every kind; to the female the sky and the zephyrs. Fire, when of a consuming nature, they made male, but artificial and harmless flames they rendered feminine. DEGRADATION OF A DEGREE. “Why,” said our friend T. Q. M. to Sally Listen, an old inhabitant of Wenslydale, “why do you call Mr. , doctor , when he has no title to such appellation % he is only a quack!”—“Why,” said Sally, “I’ll call him naught else.

By a late arrangement with the British Publishers of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work will be forwarded to this country, so as to insure the receipt by American subscribers of the entire number of the Re-print, before any portion of it can be made use of by other American publishers. This will make the work far more desirable than heretofore, and it is hoped will lead to an increase of the sales sufficient to justify the cost of the arrangement. Wm. C.

THERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single Journal whose sole object is to develope and foster literary taste and talent in the South ; and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous efforts cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the re sult of circumstances no longer existing The need of such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac knowledged, that not to attempt to supply the defi ciency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable. The progress of the age, and the rapid advance of the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob ject, he has established a Weekly Journal at the seat of the University of Georgia and rallied around it the best writers of the South. The Editor is assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance from the most prominent writers of the South. The Gazette is made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays,. Sketches of Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener al Miscellany of information in all departments of Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con temporary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of South ern writers. and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry w.ill be presented. The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of Literature in the South; and lie is happy to announce that his enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pri vate effort a large and generous list has been obtain ed, and upwards ol One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub lish his Journal, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall he permanent. TERMS.—I.
