I , also, contains short reviews of the on'ire works ol distinguished Ami r ran authors, accompanied by rum rails engraved on steel. The solidity of the work is relieved by lighter arti cles—such as graceful osa. s, interesting and amusing tales, criticisms upon the file arts, legends, sketches of travel, literary and scientific intelligence, and poetry of a superior order. Ttie very favorable reception which the work has met from the press and the public, has justified the pro prietors in making liberal arrangements for contribu tions to the second volume ; and they have according ly made large additions to their corps of regular con tributors.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SILK SO- J CIETY, AND RURAL ECONOMIST.—At a Convention which met at Baltimore, on the 11th of De cember last, composed of a great number of gentlemen from various parts ot the Union, distinguished for their public services, patriotism, and practical intelligence, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, after lull discussion, in the course of which a great mass of facts and valuable information was elicited. Resolved, That it is the deliberate opinion of this Convention tha Silk may he grown in all the Uui'rd S ates, not o:iiy tor domestic purposes, r>ut as a valua ble article of commercial export; thereby giving an ac tive employment to American labor, and retaining mil lions of dollars in our country, mat are annually sent out of it lor the purchase of sdUen goods. Resolved, That a National Silk Journal ought to he established, under the auspices of the Executive Com mittee, and all the fun Is over and above the support of said paper ought to he devo ed to the advancement of the silk cause in the United States. Under the latter tesolutiott, the subscriber has been solicited to assume the editorial superintendence of the Journal, to he published by the Society ; and now, with not the least ahaten in: tor that fondness (not to say passion) tor rural life,u.id all its pttrsui s. which prompt ed him, eighteen years since, to issue the first number of the old American Farmer, he is but too happy tosa lute, once more, his old friends and correspondents, promising to deserve new ones by the most assiduous endeavors, (not incompatible with strle attention to his official duties,) to accelerate the growth and progress of what he is convinced is destined to become a great branch of national industry, bringing into active exer cise much of the now unproductive laboring power of the country, giving comfort to the widow and the or phan, by offering them suitable and remunerating em ployment; and making, in the aggregate, a large addi tion to the wealth and prosperity of our beloved Union. Though Silk and every thing connected with its pro duction, and all improvements in machinery for its pre paration and nia snfacturc, will constitute the chief de sign and aim of the J air ml, f,r the sake of agreeable and useful variety, a considerable portion of its pages will be dedicated' to the justly popular and kindred sub jects of agriculture, horticulture, and rural and donu s ti< economy. Hence the ajjunotive title “Rural Eco nomist.” J. S. SKINNER. The Journal of the American Silk Society will he published monthly, in pamphlet form, each number will contain tliiriy two pages, printed on new type and hand some paper, with a printed colored cover \II persons friendly to the objects of the Journal, will please collect at once, and transmit, the names and subscription money of those who may feel disposed to patronize it. Terms —Two dollars a year, or six copies for ten and liars, always to be paid befire the work is sent.

Baltimore, Jan. 1833. Prospectus of the CORSAIR, i GAZETTE OF LITERATURE. DRAMAT -6 IC NEWS and CRITICISM, FASHION and NOVELTY.—N. I’. Willis and T O. P >rter propose to issue, weekly, in the city of New York, a paper of the above designation and character. It is their design to present as amusing a periodical as can he made from the current wit, humor, and literature of flip times, to collect the spirit not only ol English, bat of French and German belies letters : to give dramatic criticisms With vigilant impartiality and care: in short, to picture the age in its literature and fashion, its eccentiicit.es and amusements. As the practical law of copv right secures to them, free of expense, the labors of Bulwer and Bqz, Scribe and Balzac, with the whole arm of foreign writers, they cannot at present, (consistently with pocket wisdom so well understood by American publishers) offer anv thing for Vmerican productions. Their critical deparfnient, however, will be always on the n'ert for native liters-; ture, and to the best of their ability they will keep a running guage of the merits to compatriot authors. They see their way verv clearly wi'ho'lt crowding upon the track of any weekly periodical, and abstr.m ing from more particular professions, they take leave t» assure their friends, that it the harvest of event, w it. gpnius and poetry, fail not over the world, thev can hardly fail to furnish them with an agreeable paper. Terms.—Five dollars per annum, in advance Ad dress tha Editors, by mail. The CORSAIR will appear early in the month of March next. New York, Jan. 1839.

She could not account for it; she could not get tad of it; but whenever, in those font'autieipa-j tions which are among the brightest visions of early wedded life, they talked of their future family,and of what their domestic plans should be,as their family increased, she always seem ed to have a foreboding that this boy would .done be spared toiler; that whatever other j children she might have, they would only pass through a short existence to the grave. At first Iter husband ridiculed the presentin ent ; it was too strong, however, for ridicule to overthrow, and gradually became tiro sad for it to approach. It was no less in accessible to reasoning for all that utlec tioii could oh!:;in, was me tender assurance she would try to think of it ns little as possible. And who were George and Sarah Coventry ? 'l'lie reader shall know all that 1 know myself respecting them. George Coventry was found one summer’s evening under a hawthorn tree, sewed tip in a hand-basket Tiie person who found him was an eccentric old bachelor, yf the nu ne of Price Williams, who was very food of nightingales ; and there was a coppice, about a quarter of ti mile from his house, which t e nightingales loved to frequent. Hither he would betake him about sunset; and seated at the foot of this hawthorn, listen to the ravistiing melody of the lone songstress till his maid Jemima came to tell him supper was ready, at the (tearing ofwhien he was never known to tarry another minute for toe sweetest discout that ever rolled, rich and musical ftotri a nightin gales throat. On the even ng in question, lie found his sent preoccupied by the little stran ger; and Jemima was infinitely perplexed, as she saw her master returning so soon with a basket in his hand, which at a distance .ap peared like her own market-basket. But tier own market-musket was hanging in its place, behind the kitchen door. It was clear, ttiere forc. the Basket belonged to somebody else, though sue kn -w of nobody who had such a kaid of basket but Widow Pugh, of Roseliank cottage: and Widow Pugh, as she remarked to hut self, ‘ lived in a clean opposite direction to the nig itingales.’ Meanwhile, the old gentleman stalked on, stately and sedate, w ith this puzzling basket, which he seemed to carry with much care ; a circumstance that naturally increas'd Jemi ma's perplexity, fie passed into tiie house through tiie front door, instead of through the kitchen, as lie was commonly wont to do. This was .adding fuel to tne fire of curiosity that already burned fiercely in the Jemima’s breast. He entered bis room. Sue heard himtalkingto himself. Presently bis liell rung, and Jemima was the most punctual of servants in answering it. ‘See whether this isa boy or girl,’ said lie. pointing to the infant, which he hud taken out of the basket, and laid upon the table. *lf it is a bov,’ lie continued. * we*l! nurse it between us; if a girl, it snail go to the parish.’ ‘Lord sir!’ exclaimed Jemima, lifting up tier hands in a.stonisament ‘1 dare say it is nothing but a by-blow ! Where did you get it!’ ‘ I get it !’ cried Mr. Williams, tapping his box. and t; king a pinch of snuffas lie sjxike,— • Pooh!’ ‘ Well, sir,’ continued Jemima, looking in the infant’s ffme, ‘ I can’t tell whether it is a boy or girl, for my part —not I —but I dare say it is one or the other, tor it is Gtxl.’s provi deuce t. at these things when they come, never come out of nature. ‘ No,’ said her master, scratching behind Ins less ear; * the/areall in nature Jemima.’ ‘ Poor little thing!’ she milled, ‘it is for all the world just like a wax dolHn a sweet sleep. I’ll be sworn it is a git I, it is so quiet, and looks so innocent.’ It happened unfortunately for Jemima’s characteristics of her sex. that at ties moment Mr. W.lliams unpinned from the bosom of the infant a piece of paper, till then un|ierceived by hint, on which were written these words in a small fait legible hand—-George Coventry, preserve the name, whatever fate betide tiw hearer of it.’ Mr. Williams adhered to his declaration, save Pint tie and Jemima did not nurse the|»oi i between them. Enquiries wee instituted to discover the parent*, but they proved umtuc. cessful. There were those, indeed, who Inn. ted, that if the old gentleman could find out the mother, they would be bound to name the father—an in anuatton which always greatly scandahzed Jemima, who was not without a theory of her ow n, however, to explain cause and eIK.-ct ; for, as Lttlv George grew up, si « discovered a striking l.ktitess faetwten Inn arid sundry ‘ hussies’ of t ie place, wliom, as she said, * she could not abide to look upon/ Nay, on one occasion, site went so fir a% to remark to her master, that, ‘the rogue was getting ju.»t such, a double chin as Lie vicar, and was wonderfully like .him too, when he had lits black pinafore on.’ But she never ven tured to repeat tins, af er the oid gentleman admonished her she was liable to do penance in a u nite sheet in tiie parish church, lor speaking slander. When George was in his fifteenth veer, his benefactor died, leaving him well provided for; though the legacy was subject to sundry whimsical conditions. Among other things, it was required that * he should make choice of the army or navy, but must embrace one of those services within twelve months after the testators death;’ nnd, that ‘the principal of the legacy should be at his entire disposal when lie was forty, provided he was then a bachelor, and changed his name from George Coventry, to George U nvthorn Nightingale, in 'commemoration of the ciicuinstairces at tending his discovery.’ In default ofany one of these, besides many other strange conditions the property depending upon them, which amounted to some thousands, was ‘to be divi ded belweett any twelve men his executors plight select, having each of them a wooden leg, and being bachelors above the age of fifty.’ George entered the army, obtained a ma jority before he was five-and-twenty, and up to that period contrived to steer clear of all t le rocks and shoals placed in liis course by tbe humorous ingenuity of liis protector. But then it tVas lie first saw Sarah Cecil, a portionless orphan, w.iose asylum was under the roof of as gentle a creature as Charity ever called to her divine ministry. The grace and beauty of Miss Cecil’s person, great us they were, were poor in comparison with that purity of heart, and simplicity of character, which, while they throw a lustre arou id her moral nature, heightened the fascination of her charms. Deliberation soon became solemn mumery with Major Coventry Yet would he tnko himself very seriously to task for fitting on chains, every link of which, he knew, must cost him its weight in gold, if once fairly rivi ted. They were rivited: and he was bound hand and fiiot, long before he came testke resolution of making a vigorous resistance. In short when he was only six-and-twenty, lie renounced all substantial advantages of fortune as George Hawthorne Nightingale, Esq., at forty—and, by the same act which made him tiie happiest of men, showered down unexpected felicity upon twelve of his fellow., creatures, living in single blessedness and single leggedness. And so perfect, so all sufficient was bis happiness, that never once had ti shadow of regret stolen over his mind at a sacrifice, the very existence of which, from motives of the purest delicacy, he had carefully abstained from mentioning to •Mrs. Coventry. And what was the subject of discourse l>e lween them, which she desired might be post poned till the morrow week 1 NO. 21 A mere trifle—but one of those trifles that identify themselves with some of the dearest ! fuel in<?< oft he heart. He had seen a pair of | timber bracelets it) a jeweller’s shop—the price was moderate; and lie wis.ied Mrs. Coventry to say whether she liked the patent, before lie bought t bcin. * I need not go to look at them,’ said she, when the conversation was resumed, * for you know, George, I always prefer your taste to my own ; but give them to nte to morrow week, and then they will be scancti fied by the recollection of the two happiest days my life has yet known.’ A gentle pressure of the hand which he held in his, and a smile that told o: sinless idolatry, were his only answer. On the evening of this anticipated morrow ofihisdayof promised blissful remembrance, Major and Mrs. Coventry strolled into the fields which surrounded their pleasant subur ban dwelling. George was more than usually thoughtful and silent during the walk—that is, he was less than usually cheerful and animated; for such was his general flow of spirits, that a very slight abatement of their intensity, pro duced, from the force of the contrast, the effect ofextreme dejection. At first, Mrs. Coventry feared he was ill ; hut that apprehension re moved, she strove to rally him out of liis pen sive mode. Her efforts were partially suc cessful. He laughed ; he talked more gaily; hut she fancied there was a sadness in his laugh, tt forced buoyancy in his conversation.' Site fancied, too, though she knew not why, there was an earnestness, a tender solicitude, in his manner, like that which the sense of past unkindness, or the secret consciousness that we may soon lie denied all power to lavish kindness upon a beloved object, sometimes inspires. From such promptings, come the silent heart-breaking endearments of the slowly ilvit g. 'Lite kis>', the embrace, tie unwearied indulgence, art; all so many gentle farewells of the sold; so many fond and lingering tepiti tions of pleasures, each of which may l>e the last, while each that is. springs from deeper and deeper yearnings of the parting spirit. As they ascended a small eminence, a range of landscape spread before them, bathed in the liquid and trembling lustre of a setting sun. It was a gorgeous spectacle. ‘ How beautiful"!* —B it who, that knew he was to die to morrow could look upon a scene like this, and feel the serene holiness of mind it inspires? Yet there are eyes—aye, and of thousands—now bent on that glorious orb, w hich shall never see it rise—while some, though spared till then, shall he closed in death ere it sets again !’ There was a mystery in all this, as well as in bis general >'e tort men! ihiring the remain der of die evening, which attracted tbe obser vation, rather tlum excited the fears of Mrs. Coventry. She something bad oc. curred to vex him ; what it was she did not -cek to know, because, from the unreserved "onfidence on all subjects that subsisted lie tween them, site was aware the cause of his me*ent disquiet, whatever it might iw, was one which, for reasons she bad no desire fa wrutirtiwc, Ire evidently did uot then a tail fa Itscloso. On the following morning, he roea eutne-
