Maternal Tenderness.-A sparrow
who had built her nest on the thatch
roof of house, was observed to con-
tinue her regular visits long after the
time when the young birds had taken
their flight. This unusual circum.
stance continued throughout the year;
and in the winter, gentleman who
had all along observed her, determin.
ed on investigating its cause. He
therefore mounted a ladder, and found
one OF the young ones detained a pri.

PROSPECTUS OF

THE TIR GINA WREA TIL.
"HE subscriber proposes to publish in Win
Il chester, (Va.) an exclusively literary pa
per, with the above title
I he advantages of periodical literature are SO
well known and so highly appreciated at the
present day, that the subscriber would be con.
tent that this prospectus should contain nothing
more than mere annunciaton Of the manner
in which the contemplated paper will be con-
ducted-the editors expectation of assistance
from many literary ndividuals-together with
assurances of attention and diligence on his
own part, if it was not that the prevalency of an
opinion that purely literary paper cannot sue
coed in this section of country, has been the
cause of the failure of many such undertakings
heretofore. 1t is only deemed necessary to ask
the public to discard an opinion, which, predi-
Gated on no proper grounds, is still the great
and almost only reason of the depressed state of
this branch of literature in Virginia and the
South generally; for surely the fact that there
is no part of our country which is not overflow
ing with foreign literary periodicals, is an evil
dence of an interest in and spirit to support IL
terature. And most certainly, when it is recol-
lected that the South has ever relied with honor
and success upon her own resources in every
other respect, TO one will doubt her ability to
build up and maintain the character OF literary
works within her own boundaries. Let it there
fore be seen that spirit to support and the TIA
lent to maintain should be the only reasons OF
the absence Of these literary repositories in any
country; and let a liberal patronage furnish the
benefits of an extended circulation to the trea-
sures of Southern genius.
The columns ofthe VIRGINIA WREATH will con-
tain much good original matter-many indivi-
duals of high merit, some of whom have alrea-
dy distinguished themselves in the literary world,
having rendered their assistance-with selec-
tons from the best American and British perio-
ideals, comprising Tales, Essays Reviews, Poe
try, Literary notices, &C.
This paper will be issued weekly, neatly exc
cuted on fine paper with small type, and con-
tain in each number Squarto pages at So 90 per
annum, payable at the end of six months, or So
90 if not paid within the year. Postmasters,
editors. and Others, who act as agents. will be
entitled to an eleventh copy gratis, or ten per
cent. on all moneys forwarded. The first num-
Der will be issued as soon as an intimaton is
had of sufficient patronage to delray the expen-
of publication.
