Recommendations:
I have used Smith’s’ Grammar, Geography, and
Arithmetic on the Productive >ystem, in my Acade
my fir the last three years, which Ts sufficient proof
that I consider them superior to any works on the
subjects of which they treat. Students in Grammar,
using Smith’s work, make progress which astonishes
those who have been accustomed to the old system of
class-books: The same might be said of students in
the other branches. Os tiiese I speak confidently,
having sny knowledge from experience.

Smith’s Geography Improved.—The above stand
ard and popular work has just appeared from new
plates, the old ones having been destroyed hy lire.
The entire work has been revised, and we now pro
nounce it the most accurate work in market. We
perceive several new maps; one of Palestine; one of
Liberia; one of -xico, &c. The Map and Chart of
the World is presented on an entire new plan, and
one which ado’ great value to the worn, and must be
universally admitted. In all respects the work is equal
to any Geography we have, and in several important
particulars superior to the others.

OF THE
COTTON GIN Maker and gin-
NER’S GUIDE.
BY i E .VI PL ETON REID.
THE importance of properly preparing the Staple
of any country or section is well known, but to
no country or section is it of such importance as thus*’
t.aat grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple.
Therefore, under this and other considerations, I pro
pose to publish by subscription my system and practice
in Cotton Gin making and Ginning.
With the advantage of madly years, expcrier.ee—
the sacrifice of much time and labor—and believing
that I have brought it nearer to perfection tl.an any
other person, I submit it to the public in a concise
and correct in inner—with my late practice and with
many improvements beside- the valuable one of the
application of ilie Friction Wheels, and new mode of
.makinglhe brush, [which I have patented in the Re
public of Texas) ; and the Brake or Agitator, my last
improvement, which much increases tile speed in gin
ning. and improves the Colt- n. (It is well represented
in the plates and explained in the work.) The work
to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in good
binding, with ten well engraved plates, illustrative of
the system; of tho Gin complete, plans, elevations,
sections, and figures iu detail, with references and de
sciiption ol every part. Also plates of plan and cleva
ti nos Gin House, Gear, position of the Gm, &c. cal
culations of gear in spec hug the gin, with particular
description, explanation and directions to the Cotton
Planters-in constructing the gin-house and gear, and
general management ot the gin. cotton, &c.
With the rules and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any good workman may execute the
whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge
for himself in constructing his House, Gear, &c., and
in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect,
and of good materials; therefore being a great saving
or gain to him, first, in cleaning iiis crop in half the
time usually required; and in picking and moteing his
cotton well, if o as to command the highest price in
market; in the durability of bis Gin, which, if made
by the directions given, will last to pck a thousand
bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins to do the -anie.) And further, there
is no ri.-k i>r danger of burning Hie House, Cotton, &c,
by taking lire from the Gin on the new friction wheel
plan, though you were to give it double the motion
Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing will be
set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be
ing the result (ail prejudices aside) ol fair and repeat
eu experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know
ledge and skill.)
If I were going to continue the Cotton Gin making
business in this country, I should not trouble the pub
lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much raiher
work for money than write for it a- in the first ease,
I would Ho it strict justice,—in the latter, T must ask
allowance lor its defects, and liberal patronage for its
support.
Terms —Ten Dollars, payable on delivery. Non

Thou lingering star, with lessening ray,
That iov’st to greet the ear y morn,
Again thou usher’s; in the day,

O Mary! dear departed shade,
Where is thy place of blissful rest?
See’st thou thy lover lowly laid?
Hcar’st thou the groans that rend his breast?
That sacri'd hour can I ‘brget,
Can I forget the hallow ed grove,
Where by the winding Ayr” we met,
To live one day of parting lev.-?
Eternity will not efface,
Those records dear of transports past;
Thy image at our last embrace,
Ah! little thought we ’twasour last.
Ayr gurgling kissed Lis pebbled shore,
O’erhung with wld woods, thick’mng green;
r i lie fragrant bircb, the hawthorn hoar,
Twin’d am’rous round the raptur’d scene.
The flowers sprang wanton to be prest,
The birds sang love on every spray,
Till soon, too soon, the glowing wist,
Proclaimed the speed of ivi ged day.
Still o’er these scenes my mem’ry wakes,
And fondly broods with miser care!
Time but th’ impri ssion deeper makes,
As streams their channels deeper wear.
My Mary! dear departed shade!
Where is thy blissful place of rest?
See’st thou thy lover lowlv laid?
Hear’st thou the groans that rend his breast?
THE FORESTS OF BRAZIL.
We copy the following from Mur
ray’s Geography, as republished by
Lea &. liianchard of Philadelphia:!
“The infinite variety of tints
which these woods display, give them
an aspect \vhol% different from
those of Europe. Each of the lofty
sous of the forest has an effect dis
tinct from that of the rest. The
brilliant white of tho silver tree, the
brown head of the mnngoa, the pur
ple flowers of the Brazil wood, the
yellow laburnums, the deep red fun
gus, and the carmine colored lich
ens, which invest the trunks and the
hark, all mingle in brilliant confu
sion, forming groups finely contrast
ed and diversified.
“Thegigantic height of the palms,
with their varying crowns, give to
these forests an incomparable ma
jesty. All these are interwoven
with a network of creeping and
climbing plants, so close as to foim
around the large trees a verdant
wall, which the eye is tumble to pen
etrate; and many of the flowering
species, that climb up the trunks,
spread forth and present the appear
ance of parterres hanging iu the
air. !
“These woods are not a silent
scene, unless during the deepest
heats of noon, bill are crowded and
rendered vocal by the greatest va
riety of the animal tribes.
“Birds of singular forms and
most superb plumage flutter through
ilio flushes.
“The toucan rattles his large bill,
the busy orioles creep out of theii
long pendent nests; the amorous
thrush, the chattering manaken, the
full tones of the nightingale, amuse
the hunter; while the humming birds,
rivalling in lustre diamonds, emer
alds, and sapphires, hover round the
brightest flowers, myriads of the
most brilliant beetles buzz in the
air; and the gayest butterflies, riv
alling ii splendor the colors of the
rainbow, flutter from flower to flow
er.
“Meantime the beautiful, but
sometimes dangerous race of lizards
and serpents, exceeding in splendor
the enamel of tlie (lowers, glide out
of tlie leaves and hollows of the
trees. Troops ofsquirrels and mon
kej’S leap from bough to bough, and
large bodies of ants, issuing from
their nests, creep along the ground.
It concerns us here to remark, that
these immense forests are rich in
timber of every description for use
and ornament, sirlted either for car-j
peutry, shipbuilding, dyeing or fur-i
niture. That kind especially called j
Brazil wood, is particularly celebra-j
ted for the beautiful red dye which j
it produces ”
When we recollect that this work
contains a description of the most
remarkable objects of nature and
art in every region of the globe, |
what an intellectual treat may be
derived from its eighteen hundred
Royal Octavo pages. It is truly a
descriptive geography. This alone,
independent of all the other subjects,
is worth tiie price of ihe volume.
Many, very many will prize these
elegant descriptions more than any
other part of the work. They have;
all the charm of novelty, while at
the same time they store the mind:
with solid and useful information. —

Another Female Lecturer —Mrs.
General Gaines, according to the St.
Louis papers, has taken to the ros-;
truin, and lectured before the Me-|
i chanics’ Institute on the evening of’
! the I6th inst. Her subject waSj
“The horrors of war”—a strange j
subject for a lady to take, particular
ly one who had become wedded to a
very Mars. On an evening previ

vorite system of national defence,
! and in the course of his address call
ed upon Mrs. Gaines, to read a por
tion of his memorial, w hich she did
in a clear and audible voice, taking
the audience completely by surprise.
The Bulletin says:
“Jilrs. General Gained is an inter
esting and highly accomplished la
dy, possessing a character of her
own, and has enough c.f female deli
cacy of mind, without exhibiting in
her character faint copies of that of
others, she thinks for herself, and
acts independently.
“Her biography is one from which
many useful reflections might he
drawn, and if she lives to inherit
that splendid fortune to which, from
all accounts, site is, in the eye of law
and justice, entitled, we have no
doubt she will perform well the part
assigned her by Providence in the
management of such a large amount
of worldly possessions, as will be
committed to her trust.”

lordships perceive that* we stand
here as our grandmother’s adminis

would be a most cutting and mon
strous affair to say that a party
could now come in, in the very teeth
of Parliament, and actually turn us
round, under color of hanging us up,
on the foot of a contract made be- y
hind our backs, in the best spirit
and without signature.” This is
nearly as lucid as the orphic say
ings, or Coleridge’s confabs.
THE INDIAN SUMMER.
Il conics, it comes with golden sheaf,
In the time ot the sere and yellow leaf,
And it flings the fruit from the b. tiding tree,
Arid scatters il round in reckless glee;
It plays o i the brow of the maiden fair,
And parts, with its fingers, her raven hair.
Tt comes, it comes, and its minstrel’s wing
O’e the glassy lake is quivering,
With music soft as the mellow strain
Os Zephyrs over the swelling main,
It gladdens the vales as it floats along,
And stream and mountain re-echo the song.
It comes, it comes, like a fairy sprite,
Arrayed in robes of gossamer white,
And the carpet of leaves on the ground is spread.
And the flowers yield ’neath its conquering treud,
For it strides along, in its kindly way,
Like shadows that flit at the ciose of day.
It conies, it comes, and the ripened grain
Is wreathing crowns’for i's golden lain,
And the bright eye sparkles widi liquid light,
Like the star t n lironed on the brow i.f night;
And the teeming fields their offerings bring,
At the s*inted shrine of the Autumn King.

WERE WE NOT HAPPY?
Were we not happy in our summer dreams?
In noontide wanderings over hill and glen;
When flowers were steeped in rich and fragrant dews 1
To yield the incense while w • worshipped them;
When vern.i skies were floating o’er the earth,
An 1 golden beams were lighting up the sea,
Were we not happy in those blissful da/s —
The brightest pages of our mernorj?
Were we not the, glowing hills,
Where music woke Jjer deep imlodious ton*—
Where lustrou- eyes in wit and beauty beamed,
And forms of iovVlThess were seen alone;
When murmured voices breathed the sunny song
Os some lair land (o bind ns in the spell;
Were we not happy in those joyous times,
Ere Sorriw’s robe around our footsteps fell?
Were v. f e not happy in the sacred sane,
That consecrated ground whereon we trod?
The choral hymns, the penitential pravrr
Brought io our hearts the presence of a God;
Where gorgeous windows lent a magic light:
Wheie cn ets an I blanched tropies round us lay;
Were we not h ppy in that holy shrine,
Lit with its glimmering lamps Mid rich array?
Shall we be happy, dearest, wh< n the flowers
Os youth are withered, and the summer skies
No longer fraught with poetry and life.
Lose their sv. eet influence in our fading eyes?
Shail we be haiipy on ti,e bed of.tenth,
With naught to cheer our sinking hearts or save?

Ali extraordinary race, ran in ex
traordinary time. —The race of 3
mile heats, for SSOO, won by Mr.
flare’s Job, on Thursday, for Seve
rity, speed, bottom, and closeness of
competition, between four competi
tors'of nearly the same powers, in
our humble judgment, is entirely
without parallel, compared with the
many fine races We have for many
years witnessed on the renowned
arena near oui city; it will challenge
comparison w ith the best running,
at the same distance, on any course
in the country. A few examples
will show this. In the famous Ber
trand’s best race, he ran his first
three consecutive heats, of three
miles, in sin. 475. sm. 48s. and sm.
53s.—the nine miles in 17m. 225.
The race that gave Modoc his high
reputation was run in sm. 515., sm.
525., and sm. 405.—17 m. 31s. In
Hard Cider's severely bought victo;/
ry over Reliance, not having con
tested the first and second heats, the
first, third and fourth heats were
run in sm. 415., sm. sps., and 5m
50.!—17m. 20s. In Job’s race, the
first, the third at and iourtli beats
were run in sm. 495., sm. 465., and
sm. 56 s !—l7m. 325. hi Job’s race !
too, ho contondu i for each beat, ex
hibiting’ a rare degree of bottom;
and every mile, in every beat, was
rim in capital time, excepting only
the first mile in the second heat,
which was in a mere canter, cuclv
horse waiting upon each other, (mu
sing that to be a slow beat; the last
was run in excellent time for a fourth
heat, (all three librses under the
whip for more than a mile,) after a
third heat that has never been sur
passed in time, (sm. 475.) and but
once equalled—by Omega, at Tren
ton. We are not sure that if Sam
Houston had been judiciously mnri
i aged, he might not have won the
race in two successive heats; or had
lie been weli rode I lie third heal,
that he might not have won that and
the race.’ Sam Houston beat Job
in that heat, and ran Texas hard,
at the finish, after allowing the lat
ter to steal a march from h?Jp.
Texas naighi possibN have beat J<jb’
had the race been confined to them
only. Job too, was indebted to
good riding for beating Ricnzi by
the head only, at the very judgment
seat, the second heat. He was de
cidedly the better conditioned, the
better managed, and better rode,
than any horse in the race. This
may be said without derogating at
.ill from the high reputation Job has
gained in many a well fought field,
sustaining his renowned lineage—a
son of Eclipse, dam by Rattler, grand
dam hy Sir Arch ft, bred in this dis
trict hy our lamented Fellow citizen,
the late Dr. Thornton, out of his fa
mous race marc, Noli me Tangere.
that was bred by the late Col. Tay
loe, and descended “sans taclie,”
from the dam of Sir Arcby him
self.
Many years will probably elapse
ere such another race will be run as
the one referred to. In it the two
sons of Autocrat sustained the re
putation of that distinguished stock.

A ,lOKE AND THE AFTER CLAP. — Oil® day
within the lust week, says the Philadelphia
Chronicle, a lady of Southwark who had con
ceived some cause >£ dislike for a certain
phpsician of that quarter, and being disposed
to wound his feelings, and mortily his pro
fessional dignity, hit on the following expedi
ent lor so doing. She sent for the doctor,
intimating in her message that a sick person
stood in need of his services. The doctor
arrived, entered the apartment where the la
dy sat with two female acquaintances, and
was directed to a cradie, in which he expect
ed to find a sick child. On removing the
quill, he discovered a large tom cat, fitted up
with a baby’s cap, &c., and at the moment
of making this discovery he heard a half
suppressed titter proceeding from the corner
of the room where the ladies sat. The doc
tor, no wise daunted, changed not a muscle
of his countenance, but with all the gravity
becoming a physician, felt the pulse of the
quadruped, took out his pencil, wrote a pre
scription, took up his hat and cane, bade the
ladies good afternoon and departed. As
soon as he was out of hearing, Mrs
and her companion gave a full hurst to their
merriment and laughed over the trDk (or an
hour, when their mirth was somewhat damp
ed by the entrance of a young man who
presented the doctor’s bill, wherein was char
ged the maximum price fora visit. Nothing
could be said against the justice of the de
mand, and the money was paid with evident
vexation. So the doctor had his joke as well
as the lady.
The New York Standard thns hits off the
attempt of the United Slates Bank of Penn
sylvania to borrow money to pay off its
debts:
“The loan asked for by the banks of Phi
ladelphia, in order to enable them to resume,
and the security offered for payment, calls to
recollection the plan once matured by two
speculating gentlemen of the Diddier school,
to obtain a dinner at one of our city eating

Deserted Age—One ol the most touch

any, a melancholy position to occupy, but
bleak and dreary in Ihe extreme to him who
has nor hope of a brighter existence beyond
the grave. Our natural repugnance to death
renders us willing to live on, but wflat sor

a few years! One generation passes and
another springs up; and he that passes on to a
third, finds himself’ a stranger in the world.
Familiar faces have disappeared, loved ones

A BOTTOMLESS LAKE.
A writer in tiie Troy (N. Y ) Mail, gives
the following account of a remarkable pond
in Sussex county, in the* State of New
York. *
“White Lake is situated about one mile
west of the Paulius Kill, in the town of Still
water. It is nearly circular. It hatfno Visi
ble inlet, but its outlet is a never failing stream
of considerable magnitude. The name is
derived from its appearance. Viewed from
a little distance it seems ol a milky whiteness,
except a lew rods in the centre, which by the
contrast appears perlectly black. The ap
pearance itself is singular enough, but ti e
cause is still'm re remarkable.
