THE
Columbian Magazine J
FOR 1845.
Prospectus for the Second Year.
At the close of his second volume, the
magazine having been commenced on tne
first of Jannirv, 1S4 I, the publisher find
himself irresistibly called on to express 1 1 e
satisfaction land gratitude with which I e
h&j been filled by the brilliant, and unex
ampled success that ha attended his endea
vors to win the public favor. Notwit i
slanding the diffieoHies, disappointments
and vexations that almost invariably fol
low the establishment of a new periodical.
in the'prmfuction -of which there must be
the harmonious co operation oi mn:v
heads arid; many hands notwithstanding
occasionally -sn'ort-corrtin-gs, 'especially Un
the pictorial department, which no care or
diligence could avert and no expenditure
prevent, the Columbian Magazine has gone
on steaauy incteasing in suppun aim pMp-
wlarity from the opening number, and n
the unbouirht iirisolici ted totimonv ot ine
press may be received as unswayed b
pirtiality and unbiassed by friendship, tji
eflbrts of cdntifibutors and editor have bde n
sitisfictory to the public and accep'ed
fulfilling the promises made for them
the commencement of the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with
a firm conviction that the great city
New York was the best and the true home
for a magazine of general literature; that
notwithstanding the failure of many previ
ous attempts to establish such a work, t here
could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and the
right system of management both by pub-'
Jisher and' editor; stimulated by this con
viction he embarked in the enterprise and
the result ;of the first year has pioved that
his judgment was correct.
It has loner ceased to be necessary, or
reasonable, that we should speak of lhe
. Columbian as an exDeiiment. At all
events, it is now an experiment 1 substaijti
ally tried. We feel ourselves upon as firm
a basis as any similar journal in the wor

fl new Puzzle in praise of Woman.
Happy a man may pass his life,
While free'd from matrimonial chains;
When he is govern'tl by a wife,
i He's sure to suffer for his pains.
What tongue is able to declare,
The failings which in woman dwell:
The worth th t falls to woman's share,
Can scarce be call'd perceptible.
1 n all ihe female race appear,
Hypoci isy, deceit and pride;
Truth darling of a heart sincere,
In women never can reside.
They're always studying to emplo),
Their time in vanity and prate;
Their leisure hours in social joy
To spend, is what all women hate.
Destruction take the men 1 say,
Who make of woman their delight;
Those, who contempt to woman pa v,
Keep prudence always in their sight.

We have made arrangements which vill

Regarding the literary and editorial c in
duct Qf the Columbian, the publisher - does
not feel palled, upon to say - more than a jve
ry few words. The general management
of (his department is, as heretofore,1 entrus-

abuqdant evidence, not only of the higbjesi
ability to put fqrth a meritorious magazine,
hqt of the ability to put forth a magazine

Tarborotigh is the principal Town in
Edgecombe Count)', and is the County
seat. It has a very fine Court House, but
a very poor Jail. Arrangements are be
ing made however, to build a new one.
Of Churches, there are three; Methodist,'
Baptist, and Episcopal. The Episcopal
Church is small, but a very neat, well fin
ished building, and shows the eXreeding
good taste, of that Society, in its style and
decorations. The other Churches might
be called any thing else, by a stranger, for
unless especially informed that they were
Churches, he would hardly know what
name to give them. There are several
Marl beds near this place. One I exam

of shells, 1 ever met with. This bed had
been considerably worked and is upon Mr.
Hunter's Plantation.
One evening after Supper, several gen
tlemen were seated aroun J the Bar room
fire, closing in the fire with a kind of semi
circle. A lall down easter entered, who
would measure six feet in his stockings at
any time, and advancirg towards the fire,
he laid hold of a Chair, which he brought
along with him, saying Wall gentlemen,
sp'ose we make the circle bigger, 1 want
to put my hoofs to the fire too." He took
his seat, and thrusting his long legs to
wards the fire, he cast a very enquiring
glance into every one's face, to see if there
was anv chance lor speculation. INothing
however was said by any one. He then
threw his head back, and rolled his eyes
all over the ceiling and walls, showing i hat
he was restless and uneasy. Uver the
mantel-piece hung some old fashioned
Prints in frames, which had doubtless been
published fifty years before. His eyes fi
nally rested upon one of them, and he ga
zed at it for full fifteen minutes. That
picfer" says he, "calls itself Europe; but
if the same artist'Was to paint one now, I
think he would change the design. You

With a corma copiat the mouth upwards,

knowledge and am just looking to see what
part of the earth I shall want next. At
her feet, you see a Quadrant, as much as
to say she is Mistress of the Seas also.
