which is this day made in its size. The
publication price, however, will remain
at the same rates as heretofore. They
are: to city subscribers, two cents a
number--nine cents week. To mail
subscribers, five dollars a year for a
single copy; five copies to one address
for twenty dollars year.
THE WEEKLY NEWS
Is already the second in point of circu.
latIon of the weekly papers published
in the city of New York, not taking the
exclusively religious journals into the
count. 1t is so generally known, that
any comment upon its merits is not ne.
cessary. For the quantity and quality
of reading matter which it gives, it IS
the cheapest weekly paper published in
the United States; and when it is re-
membered that each number contains
well executed wood cut portrait of
some distinguished Democrat, its un-
equalled cheapness of price will be con-
ceded. Its terms are 80 year for
single copy; $4 a year for three copies
to one address; Sc year for five CO.
pies to one address; and SO year for
ten copies to one address.
THE TERMS
OF the Morning and Weekly News, as
above stated, will be rigiGly adhered to.
No attention will be paid to any order
lessacccmpanicd by the money. The
commission allowed to postmasters on
forwarding remittances, will be paid by
this office, and the person sending mo-
ney will be credited with the full a.
mount he pays to the postmaster. Post
masters will transmit the money, with
statement of the purpose for which it
is paid, to the postmaster of New York,
who will communicate the same to the
Office of the News. All letters relating
to the business of the paper should be
addressed to the undersigned.

GETTING Rich ON PooR LAND, AMI
Poor ON Rich LAND. "A close observ
er of men and things told US the follow
ing little history, which we hope will
plow deep INTO the attention of all who
plow very shallow in their soils.
Two brothers settled together in
county. One Of them on a cold, ugly,
clayey soil, covered with blackjack
oak, not large enough to make half a
dozen fence rails. This man never
had any but large, powerful Conesto-
ga horses, some seventeen hands high.
He always put three horses to a large
plow, and plunged it in some ten inch
es deep. This deep blowing he inva-
riably practiced and cultivated thor
oughly afterwards. He raised seven
ty bushels of corn to the acre.
This man had n brother about six
miles of, settled on rich, White river,
bottom land farm, and while a black
jack clay soil yielded seventy bushels
to the acre, this fine bottom land would
not average fifty. Cne brother was
steadily growing rich on poor land land
the other steadily growing poor on rich
land.
One day the bottom land brother
came down to see the blackjack oak
farmer, and they began to talk about
their farms and crops, as farmers are
very apt to do.
"How is IT," said the first, "that you
manage on this poor soil to beat me in
crops?'
The reply was, ~ work my land"
That was exactly. Some men have
such rich land that they won't work
it; and they never get step beyond
where they begin. They rely on the
soil, not on labor, or skill or care
Some men expect their land to work,
and some men work their land, and
that is just the difference between
good and bad farmer.
When we had written thus far and
read tito informant, he said: "Three
years ago, | again travelled through
that section, and the only good farm
saw was this very one of which you
have just written. All the others were
desolate-lences down-cabins aban-
doned--the settlers discouraged, and
oil. thought saw the same
old stable door, hanging by one hinge,
that used to disgust me ten years be-
fore; and saw no changes, except for
the worse, in the whole country, with
the exception oflhis one farm. 1t was
well fenced and under high state OF
cultivation, and while the proprietor
was accumulating wealth, he still con-
ilnued to plow deep.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
Ne W YORK NE WS


| Il / is now oneyear since the publica
T. ton Of the News was commenced
and its entrance upon another year O
existence is a fitting period to recall tc
the public mind the favorable terms up
on which Its daily and weekly issues
are published; to state some improve
ment recently made, and contemplated
and also to refer briefly, for the infor
nation Of those not acquainted with
the paper, to some of the advantages
its subscribers enjoy.
The News will henceforth be publish.
ed for the proprietors by the subscriber.
In every particular of its business man.
agement, its friends as well as those
otherwise interested, can rely upon en-
tire promptness and efficiency.
The sole editorial control of the
News will remain with Mr.. JOHN L.
O'SULLIvAN, one of its proprletors. He
| will continue to be assisted bv Mr..
THOMAS P. KETTELL, whose attention
will be particularly devoted 10 moneta-
ry and commercial affairs; IN connec-
ton with which subjects he has attained
during his association with the Herald,
and since with the News, wide and
most distinguished celebrity. The val
liable services Of Mr.. Richard Sutton
have also been secured, with view
of earning for the News reputation
for early and accurate information upon
all matters of interest or news, and also
for judicIous and varied combination
of reading matter. His character as a
writer of diversified talent, and fame as
reporter, render any further notice of
his ability unnecessary--though it is
well to add that he has associated with
him several gentlemen also well known
in newspaper life. An accomplished
scholar and writer, Of high rank in lite
rary circles, will have the direction of
such part Of the topics of the News as
may fall within that range.
The typographical department of the
News will be under the supervision of
Mr.. Joseph #. Crowell, a practical prin-
ter, and one of its proprietors. No ef-
fort will be spared to place it in the first
rank of American newspapers for beau
ty and neatness of dress.

Of Col. SAMUEL MEDARY, all his inter-
est in the Ohio Statesman newspaper.
from and after the 1st of July, 1845.
The paper will, as heretofore, advocate,
unfinchingly, democratic principles and
measures, and give the strongest sup
port to the regularly nominated candl-
dates Of the Democratic Party, that it
will be in the power of the undersigned
to afford. TO firmly support the Ma
tional Administration-to maintain the
right Of this country to the territory of
Oregon-to uphold the great doctrine
of the sovereignty of the people, as con-
tended for by the patriot DoRR--to on
tend for the adjustment of the tariff in
such manner as shall do justice to the
great Agricultural interest of the West
to labor for the settlement of the Ma
tional Finance question in way that
shall prevent the public moneys from
becoming the means of individual ag-
grandisement--and to strenuously sup
port any measure calculated to make
the laws of Ohio embodiments of the
principles of Liberty and Equality, and
to give to the State Il sound currency;
these are the objects which the un.
dersigned propose to themselves in the
new and arduous position which they
have assumed. Their success must de-
pend upon the amount and the charac-
ter of the support which they shall re-
ceive at the hands of the Democracy of
the great Empire State of the West,
whose voice in the National Councils
is SO important, and whose example, in
the management of their internal affairs,
is destined to exert vast influence
upon all quarters of the Union, and par
ticularly to give character to the leg
lslation Of the new communities which |
are constantly arising, and demanding
to be admitted to the rights and privil-
eyes enjoyed by the members of the
confederacy.
The undersigned have invested a
arge amount Of capital in their present
undertaking. They have brought to its
support, whatever of talent and enter
Prise they possess. Their interest is
IDENTICAL with that of the West; and
here is no incentive to exertion--no
motive which can incite men to faith
ul discharge Of important duties
which is not moving them to labor ,for
he good of'that portion ofthe confede-
'acy into whose hands the physical
md moral powers Of the nation are rap
dly passing. Under these circumstan-
les, they feel that they are privileged

Some body has very truly said, shat
there is in the heart of man a native
sense of beauty, latent sympathy, a
harmony with all that is lovely on the
earth, which makes him unconsciously
seek out spots of peculiar sweetness,
not only for his daily dwelling, but for
his temporary resting place, and the
mansion of his long repose."

THE NEGLECTED CHILD.

Inever was favorite--
My mother never smiled
nme, with half the tenderness
That blessed her fairer child;
I've seen her kiss my sisters cheek
While fondled on her knee;
I've turned away to hide my tears
There was no kiss for me.
And yet | strove to please, with all
My little store OF sense;
stroUe TO please, and infancy
Can rarely give offence;
But when my artless efforts met
A cold, ungente check,
did not dare to throw myself
In tears upon her neck.
How blessed are the beautiful!
Love watches o'er their birth;
Oh beauty! in my nursery
learned to know thy worth;
For even there often felt
Forsaken and forlorn,
And wished-for others wished 1t too
/ never had been born!
am sure was affectlonate-
But in my sisters face,
There was look of love that claimed
A smile or an embrace;
But when raised my lips to meet
The pressure children prize,
None knew the feelings in my heart
They spake not in my eyes.
But oh! that heart too keenly felt
The anguish of neglect:
saw my sisters lovely form
With gems and roses decked:
did not covet them, but oft,
When wantonly reproved,
enyied her the privilege
Ofbeing so beloved.
But soon time Of triumph came,
A time Of sorrow too
For sickness o'er my sisters form
Her venom'd mantle threw
The features once so beautiful
Now wore the hue of death:
And former friends shrank fearfully
From her infectious breath.
Twas then, unwearied, day and night,
watched beside her bed,
And fearlessly upon my breast
Ipillowed her poor head.
She lived!-she loved me for my care!
My grief was at an end;
Twas lonely being once,
But now HAVE friend.
