Dee 15 37 ts PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN LITERAHY MESSENGER. FfdlllS is a monthly Magazine, devoted -1- chielly to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tin t fall within the scope of Science ; and uot pro essiug an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will con tinue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial Theol ogy, a> far as possible, arc jealously exclu ded. They are sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more viilu able matter to which they adhere: bu l whenever that happens they are incidental, only, not primary. They are dross, tolera ted only because it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor porated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occu py tlieii due space in the work : and it is'the Editor’s aim that they should have a three fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting in cidents as are embodied in the works re viewed, —to direct the readers attention to books that deserve to be read—and to wan him against wasting time and money upon that large number, which merit only to be burned. In this age of puide-atious that by their variety an I multitude, distinct and o venvhelmn every uudiseriiiimatmg student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, Is one of tii** most inesti mable and indispensable ofauxiliaries to hint who does wish to discriminate. Es3.vys and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both; Historical sket ches —and Keminisknces ofeventstoo min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple oi’ the-work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and not one alone, but uiauyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature is needed, to allay that fever, and soothe that irritation. \ ice and folly are rioting abroad:—They should be driven by indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an immense proportion of our pco pie:—Every spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; so that tire great enemy oi popular government may no longer brood, like a portcnP-ms cloud, over the destinies of our country. \>id to accomplish ail these ends, what more powerful agent can he employed, than a periodical on the plan of (lie Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice ! The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washing ton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con trast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, talents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, a equality with our brethren »r.d a domestic institution exclusively our own beyond all doubt, a!fords ns, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of ibis lornl want that the word Southern was engrafted on this periodical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate sup posed local kite ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent w ish, to see tne North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Fai from meditating hostility to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contribute in any es sential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaten the peace ol both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fraternal love. The Southern Literaiy Messenger has now'been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing the Firm viilujik. How far it has acted out tin: ideas here ut tered, is not for the Editor to say ; lie be lieves, however, that it falls not further short of them, than human weakness usually makes Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS. 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is published in monthly numbers, of ti-1 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year — payable in advance. 2. Or five new subscribers, bv sending then names and S2O at oue time to the edi tor, will receive their copies for one year, for that sum, o. at $4 for each. 3. The risk of loss of pay menu for sub scriptions, which have been properly com mitted to the mail, or to the hands cl a post master, is assumed by the editor 4. If a subscription is not directed to be discontinued before the first number of the next volume has been published, it will be taken as a continuance for another year. Subscriptions must commence with the be ginning of th<* volume, and will not be ta ken for less than a year’s publication. 5. The mutual obligations of the publish er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in curred as soon as the first number of the volume is issued : and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscription will be permitted. Nor will a subscription be dis continued for any earlier notice, while yna thing thereon remains due, unless at the option of the Editor.

KAY. Concluded. CHAPTER VII. We went back to the hotel. Roseberg preserved a deep silence, and seemed Inst iu profound iiitiiiiaiion. Ou our return to •he company he still continued thoughtful and taciturn. A great n.aiy sinati tiuot’s were said upon the change peieej i;bie in his demeanour, home said Le was ... Jute with the young lady who would not accept the oiler oi ins room. Some said he iuiU lost his fortune. Tne seven gentlemen who had profiled by lus wiliitigicss to wait at breuklasr, - oggesied that he had oi.lv lost his appetite, w in.e tlic big waiter Tom was heard to ti ll fat Anne the cook. that he ‘guessed the polite gentleman up Mans was tiiad.beeausc i.e had. fist i.is bieaaiasi ’ At Dinner iioscfimg did not appear. He had gone no one knew where. At i<_a ho was slill absent. Ten o’clock came, and no Roseberg. 1 began to be alarmed. Images of a drowned mao floated in my imagnia lioih 1 apprehended some limbic- result fitmi the effect of my perhaps too . b>ut>t disclosure upon a nature so susceptible. i’hc consciousness of being ridiculous is owe of the most intolerable feelings to width human nature is liable, and almost equals in elicit that of being guilty. 1 determined to look into the chamber of Roseberg, and in ease of my not finding him . here, r to cause search to he made for ids bodv. To his chamber 1 went with a beating'heart, t.ot at all iikmg the idea.ol having been in strumental in .producing a suicide. ‘Knock. Knock. Knock.’ No answer. ‘Knock. Knock.’ No answer. ‘Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock,’ very loud, Still no answer. Any one who knew Rose berg knew that even an ashman at his door was never al low ed to w ait. ■lt is ail over,’ said I, stepping back to alarm the house. The idea that at.y one might be in the chamber, impervious to a!! this knocking, did not. I confess, at first en ter my imagination. At length it struck me that, before expressing to the inhabitants <>t the Ito use the horrid suggestion which had taken possesion of my mind, [ had bet ty,, however fruitless it might br, look into Hie room. I seized the door kuob v, i.h that intention. Wlu.t v.as my astonishment when it resisted my endeavours. The door was locked and the key in the inside. ‘Whose Lett?’ exclaimed I. No yn „wcr. ‘\ es, he lias blown his brains out! Who's ii< re !’ e.v {aimed 1 again. No an swer. ‘Unless the door is opened instantlv/said I, rl shall break ii off its hinges.’ Ftiil not a word. Now riiti'y alarmed, 1 lifted my foot and gave a hearty "kick. 1 was in the act of repeating, when 1 heard soon one stir inside. ‘Answer, or down goes the door!’ said 1. •My good friend,’ said Eoseberg. “what ihe t Ueuse possesses you to act so like a fool / I’m busy, and you can’t come iu.’ ‘Ain’t you going to shoot yourself?’ ‘What!’ replied Kuscberg, in a tone of obviously unaffected mirth an and astonish ment. ‘Ain't y on going to shoot vourself ?’ The door flew open at this grave interro gation, and 1 walked into the interiour, ivoseberg shutting the door behind me. I don't remember to have ever been more astonished than at the picture which pre sented itself. Roseberg was iu nightcap, slippers aud role de ehambre, a bottle of poit and a box of cigars by his side on the table, mu) a cigar nearly smoked, from which, however, he had forgotten to knock the inch ami a halt of ashes, in his mouth. No caudle but that which 1 held in my hand, ami no pistols, j oiuards, or any L!u» dy i«t strumem of that sort whatever. T. ere was a razor, and I glanced suspiciously at the throat of the friend who so much in terestrd me ; but it was duly encircled with one of the neate-t sly le of Flocks, and the (earful and fatal biade, which had awakened my honour, was in such close proximity to its harmless companion, the lather-brvsl, as to disarm my apprehension and dissipate my doubts. ‘Von have not, then, really been medita ting suicide said 1. •Nonsense—take a cigar!’ said he. ‘And what have you been about here all day ?’ •Smokin'".* •All day V •Yes, vud drinking.* ‘A lout 1 ?’ ‘See, and reflecting; take a glass of wine!’ *N". thank von.’ ‘Then lei it alone,* said he, bluffly. I regarded him with surprise. 1 did not know him. His tone was easy, self-posses sed and m mlv. His face had lost its eternal and disagreeable smile, which used equally to embarrass himself and all in his com pany. His eyebrows were arched without paving me any particular attention, and his Pvt were hoisted independently on the man telpiece. ‘On second thought, I will take the lib erty .’’said 1, inclining the bottle toward a <"!a?s. •If you wish!* said he, without turning his head. I’ll sit a while with you if you have a mind ?’ Very well, iusffisyou please.’ ‘That is if I don’t disturb you ?’ ‘No. on li.avj already broken my re fleet ions now w ith your ciiised noise. I shall not b« able to resume them. To be frank, J had certainly rather you had staid away. But since you are here, take a chair!’ ‘There isn’t any except the one you are sitting on.’ ‘Then ring the bell and call on** of those scoundrels,’ said he, without taking liis feel off the mantelpiece, and blowing out along puff of cigar smoke. The effect upon m 6 of all this was in describable. I did not know the fellow, but 1 began to feel a profound respect for him rising in my bosom. ‘Why the douse don’t you ring the bell?’ said he. ‘True,’ said J, ‘I forgot.’ I rang the bell. ‘How do you like that wine!’ asked he. Very decent!’ said I. sipping ir. •sou sent me a dozen the other day,’ said he to u.e. *\es, said 1 T ‘and you wrote me a reply ol three pages, by «ayes thanks, iu wfinfi. howt-ver, you d.ti not pass any opinion oi. its quality.

Rose berg ; wait till I’ve finished my cigar, and i’ll speak with you.’ ‘l'll break every bone in your body if you stir,’said Rosqbcrg, with a -teruness which absolutely astounded me. lie finished his cigar. The man waited whimpering and muttering threats. ‘Unlock that drawer,’ said Roseberg, handing me a key. 1 d : d «o. •Take out the whip.’ I ob^-xcj ‘No—the large one.’ 1 look out a very long and heavy riding whip with a green cord on the end. ‘Take that candle,' said Jie-ebi ig to me. * Ves, come on,’ said the man, faking nil his coat and flinging it with great vio lence into the corner. Til lain )ui — Tii fix your flint for yon— l'll let you know ah, you .ire dealing with.' •Follow me, flier.,* raid Hoseherc, and bn led us out ft pen the green, before the pir.szn, where ail the ladies and gentlemen weic , =* semb.'ed, (it was a hot .-tthur.er night.) I Held the light, ami the company, attracted by the extraordinary apparition «! a man iu night-cap, slippers, robe de chaiuhrc and long riding-whip ; another without hat or coat and his sleeves rolled up; and mother with .< light, drew close to die balustiadc of ilic piazza nearest the scene of action. Tlia'inan happened to be a brag, although frightened, thought it advisable to bully il though. ‘Now, mV friend,’ said Roseberg, ‘you have made two remarks. 1 wish to know whether I understood you accurately. Il seems to me that l must have been mista ken. When I asked you, primarily, why you did not answer my bell, you said vou were 'busy.’ Did 1 understand jou uorrect ly V ‘ics! burn my timbers !'said the man, who had a Figurative imagination. ‘You did; I’ve got other things to do besides an swering the bell of a ' ‘That will do, my good friend,’ said Rose berg, ‘on tliis point.

Did you make that remark :’ •Yes! blast my buttons!’ said the man, now also disrobing himself ol his waiscoat ; rolling up his sleeves to liis shoulders and exhibiting a tolerable brawny pair of anus with many ostentations flourishes,* ‘ies, 1 did.’ Roseberg, who was an nnleand powerful man, interrupted these pngiiistick displays by grasping the throat of his adversary with one hand, anr? with the other applying the wdiip over liis shoulders. The hone: t fellow, after divers struggles, fell upon liis knees and roared for mercy ‘Where’s the landlord of this hotel !’ said Roseberg. Mr. Cozzcns advanced. ‘I have been annoyed, sir,’ said Roseberg. ‘by the imncrtinencc <*f your domestic',.* You heard him apply certain words to me but how .! ‘1 did. ■■!;•,’ sai l Mr. Coz/.ens, ‘and am glad that you have inflicted upon him the chastisement lac deserves. Had 1 not thought it merited. I should not, of course, have beheld it in silence.’ ‘You will dismiss the man, sir?’ ‘1 will, especially as 1 have reason to think him -Iso a thief. Honest servants. 1 gener ally find, are also civil. Tom. you are Jis lui.-se I.’ ‘Waiter,’ said Roseberg, to another ser v ant. ‘ Yes. sir,' said the man with rapidity of lightning, uud making a very respectful bow. ‘Botile of port and lights in number nine.’ ‘Yes, sir.” We walked back to the room. The wine and fights were already there. The waiter stood bowing at (he door. * ' h, ha !’ said Roseberg, ‘Anything else, siri’ asked the waiter. ‘Chatr,’ Miid Ro-cl org A chair seemed to rise tip out es die floor. ‘Any tiling else, sir!’ ‘No—begone!’ lie bowed and vanished. •All, clean glasses,’ said Roseberg; ‘1 forgot. Touch the bell!’ I did so. There men burst in on tl.e in stant. •Clcai glasses,’ said Roseberg. ‘Yes, sir,’said ‘lie first. ‘Yes, sir,’ said the sec ond. ‘lnstantly, sir,’ said the third. And the glasses were brought. CHAPTER EIGHT. The next morning we were standing on Mr. Cov.xen’s piazza, when a tall, handsome man, who had been spending a week at the Point, passed us. ‘That’s a fme-lookig fellow,’ ‘Good figure,’ said Roseberg. ‘Very dignified,’ said T. •Yes, more than dignified; even haughty,* said Roseberg. j ‘Do you know bin' ?’ j ‘No: I h;.\t- Hsktd twice to la introduced |to lr Ur, but, xtielnu cl ell • I—’ I ‘'i ! nit i; is, \t.it -ce. )l he I- 1 i ivs you j ha> <■ .. ivu rtt'.f, it.be intri til l til to dm,, j he ii inks yon rre not ui.nl. itiln dui ng. 1 T'. af’s your foolish cin'u.y.’ T i-.iiilcss,’ sa:.l Ro-.- » rr, turning i !.

Here comes jour natural Urlo, again. Now for it.’ ‘How are you !’ said lie to Roseberg, very distinctly. Roseberg looked up at the sky. and poin ted me out a cloud of a peculiar shape, in such a wav as to elude the somewhat anx ious civility of the relenting captain.
