YkNtIS periodical has already acquired the rep.
IL utalion of b.ing the most complete and
spirited Magazine ever published in this country
The frequency of its publication enables the
publisher 10 furnish in it the cream of Foreign
Magazines, in advance of all competition. As,
for instance, the number published on the first of
each month is composed principally of articles
selected from the Foreign Reviews & Magazines
of the preceding month, and that issued on the
18th of the month can be entirely SO made,-
thus placing the reader of the sem-monthly in
possession OF the choicest articles of the Foreign
Press, several weeks in advance Of monthly
competitor.
In the Literary Department.,
whilst 1t lays no preteEsions to originality In the
frothy trash of the day, it is the aim of the pub
Usher to furnish to its readers the best articles
from the first minds in Europe, in the several
departments Of Criticism, History, Biography,
Voyages, Travels, &C. &C. from the pens of sue
men as Wilson, Broughaln, Macauly, Lockhart,
Stirling, Lander, Hood, SC.
To add 10 its attraction, each number will be
embellished with one of Sdrtan $ splendid Mez-
zotint Engrayings, done in the very best style of
that finished artist,-thus afJrdlng every year
| TWENTY-FOUR of those beautiful engrav
mgs, while other Magazines are tumpeing to
the world their three or four, by the same artist,
as chief inducement for subscribing.
! The VERY Low PRICE at which the Magazine
is offered can be best appreciated when it is re-
membered that
THREE SPLENDID VOLUMES,
containing each, nearly SIX hundred imperial
octave pages, executed in the most finished style
of any Magazine in this country, the text EN-.
beshed with eight of Sartain's unequalled En-
cravings which are given every year, furnishing
for five dollars, an amount OF reading matter
! exclusive of the engravings, worth of them
selves more than the cost of the work J which
can not be produced from the original source for
less than THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.

world of Letters Science and Arts,--thus form
ing a Portrait Gallery of the highest oider of
excellence, done up in the most finished style Of
art, and worthy of preservation in any library.

Did you not tell that child that the man
had knife, and that he would cut off
his ears?-Yes. And if he was not good
boy the man would carry HIM off ? Yes.
Did you believe that such would be the
fact? No. Why then tell your children
that for truth which yon know is abso-
lutely falsehood?

MARRIAGE ExTRAoRDINARY.-An odd
sort of relationship was lately formed by
a pair of nuptials extraordinary, in Cam
den, North Carolina A widower, who
was not very young, became smitten by
beautiful girl, and married her. A short
time after, the son of this man by for
mer wife, became also in love, not with
a younger person, but with the mother OF
the fathers new wife, widow lady still
in the bloom of life He offered himself,
and soon the young man and the widow
we're united in the BONDS of matrimony;
so that in consequence of these two con-
nections, father became the son-in-law
of his own son, and the wife not only the
daughter in-law of her own son-n-law,
but still more, the mother-in-law Of her
own mother, who is herself the daughter
in-law Of her own daughter, while the
husband Of the latter is the father nlaw
of his mother-in-law, and lather-in-law of
his own father.

A countryman driving team, all the
horses in which were very poor, except
the leading one, was asked by portly
attorney whom he met, why the fore
horse was so fat, and all the rest so lean.
"Because, squire" says he, "the fore
horse is the lawyer, and all the others
are his clients"

sweet damsel, or rather widow, GO years
old. On one occasion they met at the
lady's house, and had fierce quarrel,
which would have ended in pitched bat
tie, had persons not interlered. The thing
affected the gay Lothario of 80, so vio-

ELoouENcE OF EXPERIENCE. There
has been fugitive slave in Massachusetts
who succeeds in exciting extraordinary in
terest and feeling, by his fervid descrip-
tons of the horrors Of slavery, and appeals
10 the hearts and sympathies OF his hear
crs in behalf ofthose in bonds. The man
ner and effect of his addresses are thus
described by Eihu Burritt, editor OF the
Worcester Christian Citizen: We have
never listened TO any living man who
could linn the system of slavery in such
lines of lightning as this young fugitive
from its oppression. His sketches were
from life and TO the life, and to the heart
of every one that listened to his thrilling
storv."-N. Y. Evangelist

sci reported by us yesterday as being burnt
near Picketl's wharf, some 40 miles down
the river, proves to be the schooner Jane
Vickers, OF and from Baltimore, for this
CITY, with sundry merchandise and deck
load oflumber. Captain Vickers and his
whole crew persisted in the flames of the
burning vessel-not a soul left to tell the
tale! CAPTAIN Phillips, of the Hyrcanlus
Law near the Jane. All was right when
he last saw her on Wednesday night
Thursday morning she was burnt down
to the water and her captain and crew

New Portable Korse NEiEE.

FB SHE undersigned respectfully informs the farm | CTS and planters of the South and West, that he has invented new portable CREST MILL, well adapted to grinding and wheat, by animal pow err whch-he warrants 10 grind faster, with the same power, than any other kind Of horse mill in use It Is capable of grinding r bushels of good meal per hour and, with good horses he will warrant it to grind from to bushels of excellent meal or flour in the same time.
 II is deemed unnecessary to give description of this mill, as it is presumed no one will purchase without first examining and judging of its merits- Suffice to say, it Is driven by band can be attach ed to any common gin-wheel; and, for cheapness, simplicity, durability and practical utility, he war rants it superior to any other portable Gris Mill in use.
 He has one in operation, at his residence, miles Southwest of Little Rock, and earnestly invites all who wish 10 purchase mill, to examine it before purchasing elsewhere. The price is from $75 tc l {5125, according to size and quality.
 He also manufactures to order, Stra1c Cutters FaaalRg lis, 1HresAiag Mac4iaes, Gins Horse Polc- CTS, and all kinds of machinery on the most appro ved plans, and of durable materials
 Orders addressed to him, at Little Rock, Arkan- sas, will meet with prompt attention.

 FARMERS, PoNpER.-You ou are compelled, in consequence of the present tariff, to pay from D to 50 per cent. more for nearly every article you consume, than you did>this time last year; while the prices of articles of your production have in the same proportion de- olined Look al one single staple-wheat. The price at which 1t opened last year was Bl D per bushel. This year it opened at 90 cents, and is now selling at 873. Are you still willing to be plundered in this way, to add to the overgrown fortunes of the million are capitalists, who are engaged Tn cotton and woollen manufactures, one company oi whom fthe Merrinac, Massachusetts, boasts of realizing S500,000 profits during the past thirteen months, from capital of $2,OOO,O QUO. Nearly 25 per. cent gained in.very little over one year. Caii-y yoll, farmers, ponder on these l facts, without lending your aid to the demo- crats to lessen the duties of the present tariff, ]. (which. according to the showing oi the whg organ, the National Intehigencer, will bring l mo the treasury S40,000,00 00-while the expenses of the government will not exceed { S25,000,000 per year,) and reduce t to the revenue standard, which is the only constr tutoaal, just, and equal measure, such as every patriotic heart may desire, end such ss none but the mean and selfish ought 10 on]ect. to- fBa1t,more Repu5licdfs.

PROTECTION.
TIE WY TO MAKE IT EauAL

TIE waY TO MAKE EQUAL.
 We copy the following correct and brief exposition of an undeniable principle of po- iitical economy, from late number of the New York Piebian
 '.Fhe way to protect the farmers, Is to give them the world for market. And this can only be done by lessening the duties on manufactures, 50 that our farm produce can go abroad and purchase that we do not grow or make at home, or that which cannot be grown or made as cheap at home as 1t can be imP9red.n
 The New York Evening Postyupon the same subject says
 "By excluding the goods of England from this country, VIC have to that extent impaired her ability to purchase our agricultural pro- ductss If the harvests-i in this country, there fore have been unusually large, aud prices have fallen in consequence, 1t is very obvious that the cause is to be looked for in the fact that we have shut. out the demand from abroad for the surplus of production. Had there been no high tariff, the abundance of our hafvests would have found it's way to the empty stomachs and naked backs of the Door starving people of England; and by this, both they and we should have been cx-1
 
 tensSely benefitted."
 ..But, says the Commercial, the karvests were also abundant in England, so that our l products would have found no present mar l ket. Now, allowing the harvests in England .to have been abundant as is represented, one fact Is certain, that they were not abundant enough to supply more than one half of the amount of wheat, &e., actually consumed, and scarcely one~seventh of what is dernan- i ded by the necessities and comforts of the ] people It is a notorious fact that Great Bri- tain s compelled 10 import some thirty mil 1 lions of quarters of wheat from abroad, and that large proportion of her laboring peo- pie are still bordering on . state of starva- tion Let the absurd laws which prevent that laboring population from introducing l their manufactures into this country, to be exchanged for the products of our harvests, be repealed, and the harvest, which now cause prices to fall, would find steady sale,
 ''Itis not, then, at the rains and showers of heaven that our farmers should rail, but at the selfish and short sighted schemes of politicians, who intercept ihe blessings which heaven 90 richly dispenses to all people. We believe however they require the advice nel- I ther of the Commercial nor the Evening Post on this point, nor unless. our information from all parts of the county is deceptive, the farmers are pretty well informed of the sources 10 which they must ascribe their grievances"
