TTHIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted A chiefly to Literature, but occasion ally finding room also for articles tha fall within the scope ot Science; bud not pro essiug an entire disdain of tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will con tinue to be, iu the main, original. Party Politics , and controversial 77/ col - ogy, as far as possible, are jealously exclu ded, They are sometimes so blended with discussions iu literature or iu moral sci ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valu able matter to which they adhere; bu> 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 their 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 warn him against wasting time and money upon thai large number, which merit only to lie burned, in this age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and o verwhelmn every undiscriminating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inesti mable and imlis[ disable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or amusement, or both; Historical sket ches —and Reminisesces of events too min ute for History, yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest—may be regarded as forming the staple of the work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish ed—sometimes of uo mean strain—to man ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The tiine3 appear, for several reasons, to demand such a work—and uot one alone, but inanyt The public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive influence of Lit erature is needed, to allay that lever, and soothe that irritation. Vice 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 peo pie:—Every spring simu'd be set in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portent' c ius cloud, over tlie destinies of our country. Ynd to accomplish all these ends, what more powerful agent cau be employed, than a periodical on the plan of the Messenger; if that plan be but car ried out in practice? 'idle South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all tlie 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:i equality with our brethren »nd a domestic institution exclusively om own, beyond all doubt, affords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for reading and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local 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 into ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor’s fervent wish, to see tlie North and South bound endearing ly together, forever, in the silken bands ot mutual kindness and aflection. lat from meditating hostility to the north, he has al ready drawn, and he hopes herealter 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 cloud's that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred tics of fraternal love. The Southern Literaiy Messenger lias now been inexistence four years—the pre sent No commencing tlie fifth volume. How far it lias acted out the 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, ot 04 large superroyal octavo pages each, on the best ot paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year payable in advance. 2. Or five new subscribers, by sending tbeit names and §2O at one time to tlie edi tor, will receive their copies for one year, fur that sum, or at §4 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for sub scriptions, which have been properly com mitted to the mail, or to tlie hands of 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 tlie 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 tlie 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 xna tiling thereon remains due, unless at the option of the Editor. f II F.

June 18 11 tID PROFANITY. What is there more disgusting t 6 the virtuous man, or to the man of refined aed-si oility, than profanity ? Although there are many who style themselves gentlemen, that allow themselves this odious practice, yet it does not prove that it is respectabje, neither does it prove that those persons wlm indulge in it are gentlemen—but the reverse. Whenever we hear a man dealing out his oaths at every breath, and calling down the vengeance of Heaven upon him in the shape of some horrid imprecation, we may conclude that lie is Dr gone in the road of ruin; and, unless lie soon breaks away irom his sinful course, he may be taken at his word, and hurried into eternity with a cure® upon hia lips. He may be clad in his robes of fine linen, but his apparel will not tako away the stain which is affixed to him by using profane language. He is a father? think lor one moment of the example ho is selling before his children; catching every word which falls from his lips, they soon begin to lisp forth auiid their childish prattle the horrid oath ; the passing travellce he irs amid their sports tlie boisterous laugh mixed with the profanation of God’s holy name. It is a vulgar habit also, lor iu its train follow low and obscene’ jests, such as would make tl:e ears of a Virtuous person tingle; how often is our decency shocked by the low ribaldry mixed with profanity, which meets our cars in passing through the streets. In this enlightentu age, such a state .of tilings should not be. Those habits which tend to demoralize our char acters, should be carefully guarded against, aud every precaution taken, that the rising generation may grow up a virtuous and re lined people. Let the Indies of the 'and do what they cat* for the suppression ot this vice; let them debar from their society every young man irom whose lips falls pro fane language ; let this be done in every case, and soon a blow will be given to this vice that will cause it to tremble from its very foundation. The influence of womati is great, and upon whatever benevolent ob ject it is turned, it acts with a force not to be withstood. Daughters of America! come then to the rescue ; lend us your aid in this work, and it will be accomplished.— Olive Branch.
