PllOSPECTUS.
Under the above title the subscribers will pub
lish on the 1st of April, 18"2, and on the 1st of
each succeeding montb, a Magazine ol r acts, Ar
guments, Statistics, Speeches, Editorials, &c. &c,
devoted exclusively to the advocacy and defence
of the policy of Protection lo American Labor
against the selfish and grasping policy of Foreign
Nations, especially of those with which we chiefly
made, which shut out of their ports the great bulk
of our Products, and especially those of our Free
Labor, while they glut our markets, bankrupt our
Merchants, depreciate our currency and famish our
Laborers and Artisans by pouring in upon us the
products of their skill and Industry, on the easy
terms nrotlereu them by our low and uon-rrotec
rive Duties. This Magazine will inflexibly and
ardently advocate the true American Policy of
countervailing these gross exactions of Great Brit
ain and other ISations by a system of direct, avow
cd Protection lo our llouie Industry which shall be
thorough and efhcient.
The American Laborer will afiirm and maintain
the policy of encouraging and fostering by wise
legislation the establishment and growth in our
country of new or vet leeble branches of Industry,
such as the Culture of Silk, the Manufacture of
whatever fabrics of Wool, Cotton, Iron, &c., may
be necessary for the supply of our own wants and
to secure and perfect our Independence. It will
demonstrate that the true and permanent interests
of all, but especially of the Agricultural and Work
ing Classes universally, will be infallibly and sign
ally promoted by adopting and, carrying out the
Protective Policy, and that the Wages of Labor,
the average price of its Produce, and the aggregate
Product of the National Industry, will be surely
and largely enhanced thereby. In short, this work
is intended to form a complete text-book for the
friends of Protection, and a thorough refutations at
every point, of the pernicious fallacies put forth
by the foreign and misguided American apologists
for the policy of one-sided Free Trade.
The American Laborer will be published .monthly
in a large octavo form, each number containing
:J2 large double-column pages of closely printed
matter. Each number will contain one great
Soeech, Report, or other convincing document,
and a variety of shorter articles. The work will
form one complete and comprehensive volume of
three hundred and eighty-four largo and fair pa
ges, and will be afforded to single subscribers for
seoeity-Jive cents each, three copies for Two Dol
lars, live copies for Three Dollars, nine copies
for Five Dollars, or twenty copies for Ten Dollars.
Payment is required in advance, in all cases. The
lowest possible price has been fixed in ordei that
its circulation may be rendered universal, should
the work receive the approbation of the public.
The several Home Leagues, Agricultural So
cieties, Mechanics' Associations and individual
iriends of Protection throughout the Country are
earnestly solicited to aid us in extending tin; cir
culation of The Laborer".

POETSY.
What is Solitude ?
Not in the shadowy wood,
Nor in the crag-hung glen,'
Nor where the echoes brood
In caves untrod by men;
Not by the bleak sea shore,
Where barren surges break,"
Not on the mountain hoar,
Not by the breezeless lake ;
Not on the desert plain
Where man hath never stood,
Whether on isle or main
Not there is solitude I
Birds are in woodland bowers ;
Voices in lonely dells;
Streams to the listening hours
Talk in earth's secret cells;
Over the grey ribbed sand,
Breathe Ocean's frothy lips ;
Over the still lake's strand
The wild flower tow'rd it dips ;
Pluming the mountain crest
Life tosses in its pines ;
Coursing the desert's breast
Life in the steed's mane shines.
Leave if thou would'st be lonely
Leave Nature for the crowd;
Seek there for one one only
With kindred mind endowed ;
There as with Nature erst
Closely thou would'st commune
The deep soul-music nursed
In either heart, attune !
Heart-wearied thou wilt own,
Vainly that phantom wooed,
That thou at last has known
What is true solitude !
Out a second marriage.
The shipwreck'd sailors, who again
To storms expose their lives,
Show far more wisdom than the men
Who marry second wives.

And all the fees in tail,
Are nothing when compared to thee"
Thou best of fees -Female.
Nothing Perfect
How beautiful the rose!

Sharp thorns its stem infest;.
How bright the diamond glows !
But it
Has specks upon its breast".
Think not m man to find
A throne
Of truth and sinless grace:
The best are oft unkind,
And prone
To tread life's turbid ways.
Beep PloiigLiisag.
A correspondent of the Farmer's Visitor
bears the following testimony in favor of deep
ploughing :
agIR My experience in favor of deep
ploughing is such, I feel it a duty to give it to
you. 1 have in taking up my land for plant
ing, ploughed very deep full one foot; my
practice has bcen.so for some time. When I
adopted this mode, my first crop was rather
against this practice, but my after crops were
ii favor of it. And in a dry seasbn like the
last it was much so, for in the commencement
of the drought my corn did roll, as we term it
but when the roots had left their horizontal
course and taken the perpendicular, as they
will if you give them deep soil (and deep
ploughing will do it) I saw but little effects of
the drought afterwards. 1 have grown as good
corn as usual this season, and I have given the
credit to deep ploughing. My lanu1 would still
improve, I have no doubt, if I should plough
still deeper, as others have- with subsoil plough,
and have had a corresponding benefit."
Zjivimg asid Ornameutal Fences.
At a meeting of the Botanical Society of
London, Mr. D. Cooper gave an account of a
new living fence, formed by planting young
trees in a slanting positign, every treo leaning
the opposite way, so that they will cross each
other, and then at the parts which conic in con
tact, take off from each a piece of bark and tie
close together, covering the part with clay.
This grafts each tree into its neighbor, and
forms in a few years a living fence with diamond-shaped
openings. The plan is an excel
lent one for ornamental and durable fertces.

A traveller writing from Illinois states that in

first place, he took a steamboat in the seeon'ci

rode on horseback the fifth went six miles on
foot to Terre-Hautc and was finally rode out
of the village on a rail. He says he don't know
which to prefer out of the six; but thinks the
latter method is unquestionably the cheapest,;

We can explain how that happened. While
they were playing to thin houses, not long
since, a rough Hoosier who had visited the the
atre "for that night only," stepped to one oF
the bars and said,'
."Just shell out a couple of your cold sassen
gers there. What's the charge?" .
"Dont keep cold, sassengers," said the bar
keeper, quite gruffly. ...
"Dont keep cold sassengers?" exclaimed the
Hoosier in extreme surprise, "no wonder your
theatre is going to 'ell when you dont keep cold
sassengers," and so saying, he walked away
with calm contempt. iV. O. Picayune.

"My dear," said the affectionate husband,'
"yon arc good at contriving things, I wish you'
would find some suitable design to paint on the
sign for our new tavern."
"I'll do no xtich thing. I dont like your go
ing to keep tavern. It's a dirty business, and
th6 temperance men are making such a. fuss
about it that it will soon come to nothing."
"There's no use talking, for my mind's made
up. I've got a license and paid for it, and I
must use it, I want something neat and appro
priate to paint on the sign."
"Well, I'll tell' you what. Make a great big.

The best Hurting Story of the season is that
which appeared in the Grand Gulf Advertiser,
Tho crun alluded to must have been a' powerful
weapon.
"Squire R., of "the Lake," went out some'
lime ago, to hunt water fowl. He has a shot
mm, which I understand shoots most powerful
fy. ' Observing a flock of geese approaching
him ho waited until they were nearly over him,
when he dfscharged his gun and killed the
whole flock, which was a large one. After the
fall of the geese, and while engaged in picking:
them up, there came down seven sand hiH?
cranes, which were so high up at tho time he
shot, that he did not see them. For fea' the
truth of this story should be doubled, and to
provo the great force with which the gun shoots,
he had gone to hunt bear, some time previous
to this, and in loading tlio gun, rather over
charged her. On firing at the bear, the gun
kicked him down, and kept kicking him until
she had kicked him one hundred yards, and;
would have probably kicked him to death,- l,a("
not one of his negroes, who was with him, run'
to his assistance and taken her off!"
The editor of the New Haven Herald says'
that every family should have a black board iiv

where the heart, aiid the will, as well as the
head, are to be cultivated.
