PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
South Western Journal.
MAGAZINE OF
SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MIS-
CELLANY.
PUBLISHED sEMI-MoNTHLY
by the Jefferson College and Washington
Lyceum.

The extensive and growing interest Of
the Southwest, its moral and social i'm
provement, and its increasing literary and
scientific demands, have awakened atten-
ton to the fact that in this highly impor-
tant portion ofour country there is no Jour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to lit
erature and science, advocating the doc
trine of no pdrty
Feeling the necessity of such a paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of
a periodical entitled "THE SOUTH-WES-
TERN JOURNAL" to be devoted to lit
erature and science, and all subjects inter
esting to the generdlreadcr.
1t is published semi-monthlv, in the citv
OF Natchcz, and contains sixteen smoil
quarto pages, similar in form to the "Pen-
ny Magazine" and is protected by GOOD
envelope, so that it may be conveyed TO
any distance without injury.
1t will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this.
and every one who feels pride in any en-.
terprise calculated to enhance the social
and moral character ofour country. should
come forward and assist in this worthy
enterprise.
Pecuniary emoluments constitutes no
part OF the object of this publication. II
IS not intended to benefit apy individual
Or the Lyceum in pecuniary point of
view. The sole object is to advance
znowledge and difftse taste for the
refined enjoyments of Literature and
Science.
Nothing is now wanting to the accom-.
,lsment of the wishes of the Lyceum but
lie patronage of the community: and if il
expected that this patronage will prompt

OUR LAND.

BY MISS HENRIETTA L. BEEsLEY
"Brcathes there man with soul so dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!"
Lay Of the last Minstrel
America, our home,
The beautiful, the best
Free as the oceans billowy foam,
Strong as the oceans breast
Our hearts exultingly swell,
For thee, Land of our birth;
The soil for which our fathers fell
The consecrated earth!
Ours are the mountain-hoods
The bold and rocky shore
The far interminable woods,
Where the sounding tempests roar.
And ours the peaceful street,
The guarded household hearth:
where frindS and kindred warmly meet,
In their deep and joyous mirth.
And the manly peasant train
Their tranquil Sabbath rest;
The beams that gid their Towering grain
Like the sunshine of their breast,
We boast not Wondering piles,
Nor the lore Of a classic cline.
Nor vaulted Abbey's crowded aislcs.
With the dead of olden time.
Yet this, the holy ground,
Where Washington is laid
Ills monument simple mound,
In the sylvan cedar shade.
And patriot hearts were ours,
The storm-tried and the true
Sages and bards' undyng powers,
what though their list be few.
LEI a thousand years roll on,
And the world shall hear our fame.
Niagara's sound, whispered tone,
10 the echoes of our name.

A CASTLE IN THE AIR.
by PROFESSOR FRIsBE


I'll tell you, friend, what sort of wife,
Whene'er scan this scene of life,
Inspires my waking schemes,
And when sleep, with form so light,
Dances before my ravshed sight,
In sweet aerial dreams.
Tho rose It's bushes need not lend,
Nor yet the lilly with them blend,
To captivato my eyes.
Give me a check the heart obeys,
And, sweetly mutabo, displays
Its feelings as they RISE
Features, where pensive, more than gay,
Save when rising smile doth play,
The sober thought you see;
Eyes that all soft and tender seem,
And kind affections round them beam,
But most of all on me!
A form, though not of finest mould,
Where yet something you behold,
Unconsciously doth please;
That to each word and look impart
A modesty and ease.
But still her air, her face, each charm,
Must speak heart with feeling warm,
And mind inform the whole;
With mind her mantling cheek must glow,
Her voice, her beaming eye must show
An all inspiring soul
All could | such being find,
And were her fate to mine but Joined
By Hymed's silken tie,
To her, myself, my all, I'd give,
For her alone delighted live,
For her consent to die.
Whene'er by anxious gloom Oppressed,
On the soft pillow of her breast
My aching head I'd lay;
At her sweet smile each care should cease,
Her kiss infuse balmy peace,
And drive my griefs away,
In turn I'd soften all her care,
Each thought, each wish, each feeling share.
Should sickness e'er invade,
My voice should soothe each rising SIGH:
My hand the cordial should supply;
I'd watch beside her bed
Should gathering clouds our sky deform,
My arms should shield her from the storm:
And, were its fury hurled,
Wy bosom to its bolts I'd bare,
her defence mdaunted dare
Defy the opposing world.
together should our prayers ascend,
'ogether humbly would we bend,
To praise the Almighty name;
nd when saw her kindling eye
cam upwards to her native sky,
My soul should catch the fame
thus nothing should our hearts divide,
ut on your years screnely glide,
And all to love be given;
md, when lifo's little scene was DER,
"e'd part to meet and part no more,
But live and love in heaven
This is u beautiful domestic picture. With. |

happily, did not create any disorder:

A SOUTHERN BANK.

In our paper of May the 5th we made
some remarks on the importance of
the establishment of a "SoUTH- YVES.
TERN BANK" to regulate exchange in
this important section of the Union.
We did not state any particular plan
upon which to found such an institution
but limited the feasibility of establishing
one upon the principles of the General
Banking Law Of New York. We find
that our proposition has met with some
favor IN Virginia, as will be observed bv
the following, which we copy from the
Richmond Enquirer.

MASONIC CELEBRATION AT ABER.
DEEM.

The Anniversary ofSt. John the Baptist was
celebrated by ABERDEEN LODGE, No. 81, on
Saturday last in a manner worthy of the occa-
sion, and highly gratifying to all who participa-
ted in it. Nearly one hundred of the brethren
from various lodges were present in the pro-
Cession, and what with the enlivening music
of the Columbus Band and brilliant display
of the wealth, and beauty of old Monroe Coun-
ty, the spectacle was one which viii long be
remembered. Addresses suitable 60 the occa-
sion were delivered by brothers GEO. TUCKER
and MATTHEW ESTES in an arbor, tastefully
and conveniently arranged for the purpose
After the addresses, the procession proceeded
to the new Hotel where an excellent dinner
was provided, in which two hundred ladies and
brethren participated.
After the cloth was removed, several very
appropriate toasts were drank, when the festiv-
tiles of the day concluded. We understand
that the arrangement of the dinner table was
made under the supervision of the Ladies Of
Aberdeen; and too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon their taste. The following CON-
plimentary toast was drank with unbOunded
sincerity and applause:
@The Ladies Of Aberdeen, not more remarka.
bic for the taste which they have displayed ii
the arrangement of the table, prepared for thi;
occasion, than they are -their beauty
We are in hopes to receive the remainder
of the toasts in time to publish them in connex
on with a more elaborate descripti on of the
ceremonies of the day In our next.
