' The first Volume of a series of tales^ translated and compiled frtiim the works of different autliors, and not previously published in the United States, was issued from the Ne w-York press in the month of July last; and in October next, a second volume will make its appearance., In the preface to the first volume, the editor an nounced it ito be his intention to continue the work ((uarterly, if the public patronised thd undertaking.— Since then ho has had the most satisfactory proofs, tliat his efforts to increase the present stofck o f litera ry amusement and instruction have been generally ac ceptable. The following arc a few of the testimonies in its favoi;, which have appeared in different journals: “ From tlio examination our leisure has permitted us to give i t, wo think it quite an entertaining volume for tli‘ose who [ branch o f rcadir and purports to writings o f different authors; and we infer that tlie design o f the editor is to collect and present such pie ces as are really worthy o f preservation, but which, as tlicy are scattered through a variety of publications, arc fugitive and perishable. The number before us (which to the credit o f the editor, be it spoken, is on liandsome paper, and very well printed,) contains ele ven talcs, pretty equal in merit, and so selected as to suit a diversity o f taste.”— New-York Slalesman. “ We have not had leisure to peruse the whole, but from What wc have read, we entertain no doubt tliat the book will be sought after by those readers who find in works o f fiction, a relaxation from the labours and anxiety o f business. Tiie handsome stylo in wliich the volume is got up, will powerfully recommend it to the notice o f the ladies .”—Mercantile .ddrerliser. The object of the editor, as he declares in his pre face, is to preserve fugitive tales of merit, that might otherwise sink into obliviort, and also to communicate to the public such deserving original pieces as may come within his roacli. He appears to have made, in the present volume, a very interesting compilation, and we doubt n o tit will be read with great pleasure.” — Mew-York Gatetle.

The present du odecimo comprises eleven talcs, combining several va rieties of style.

It contains eleven well written sto ries, some sober and some gay; One o f their best qua lities (at least, that which will gain the popular fai'or,) is their brevity .”—Boston Qallaxy. “ The selections, for the present volume, are, ‘ The Freebooter, Transmigralimi, The Thessalian Lovers, Mary Stukely, The FairMarsclIoise, The Crusaders, The Fortress o f Saguntum, Imalda de’ Larabertazzi, The Monks o f L a Trappe, Goodrich Castle, and Mas ter and Man.’ We have not room for a particular dis cussion of the merits o f these tales; and shall there fore simply say, that they appear, in tlio language of physicians, to be well calculated to “ fulfil the indica tions” hinted at by us above. They are short, well imagined, in different Btylce, and Of various merits.— Some people, we arc aware, mako it a point to set up' against this sort o f writing, a most obstropefous and pertinacious clamour, which is either sheer affectation, or the fruit o f a dull and unexcitable fancy. Wo in sist that there is more true talent, more originality, ------ genius, required for the infeution o f a really good avc^ even of a *Tale Tale for the Nursery,’ than is tale, ayc^ even o f a ‘ for the Nursery,’ wanted for the concoction of volumes of the solemn quackery, wliich passes in these days o f humbug, for science and pliilosoldiy.”--JVete-York Revieic.

TH B TOmBlPBSSL- THE FiaHER. From the German of Goethe. The water roll’d—the water swcll’d, A fisher sat beside; Calmly his patient watch he hold Besido the freshening tide: And while his patient watch he keeps-, The parted waters rose, And from the oozy ocean deeps ^ A water-maiden rose. She spake to him, she sang to him, “ Why lur’st thou so my brood. With cunning art and cruel heart, From out their native flood ? All I could’st tliou know, how here below Our peaceful lives glide o’er, Thou'dst leave thine earth and plunge beneath To seek our happier shore. Bathes not the golden sun his face,— The moon too in the s e a ; And rise they ntt from their resting-placd More beautiful to see I And lures thee n ot the clear deep heaven Within the vraters blue,— And thy form so fair, so mirror’d there In that eternal dew?”— The water roll’d—tho watdr swcll'd, It reach'd his nafied feet; Ho foil as at his Love’s approach His bounding bosom beat; She spake to him, slic sang to him, His short suspense is o’er; Half drew she him, half dropp’d he in, And s'ank to rise no more. SONNET. “ How changed is Nature’s aspect, late so gay! Spring danced along in beauty volatile, And Summer cheer’d us with her flowery smile, But, transient like the rest, he pass'd away; And Autumn came in harvest’s rich array. And noiv is hush’d the joyous minstrelsy Of field and grove; save the lone redbreast,—lic Sits on the naked branch, trilling his lay Plaintive and querulous, the sear leaffs dirge.

Scattering the faded Ronors o f the year._______ _ There is nothing, perhaps, in which the present time fliifers more from the “ days o f auld lanc^ syne/’ than in the astonishing in crease of the facilities of communication, be tween diiierent and remote sections of the country. Prior to 1775 the mail was three weefes in pas«?ing between Boston and Phila delphia J and it took seven weeks to send a letter and receive an answer by mail. In that year an alteration took place; after which, but one half of that time was required. At that time the mail was carried on Itorse- back, or in a gig. The first stage between Boston and New-York, commenced running June 24, 1772 to run once a fortnight be tween tlie two places. We have before us the Boston Even ng P ost of July 6,1772, in vv’hicli the patronage of the public is solicit ed for “ tbisttS'fuL neu\ and expensive under taking,” and notice is given that the coaches will leave New-York and Boston on their next trip, on Monday, July 13, and arrive at each of those places on Saturday the 25tli” -^thus occupying 13 days in passing from one place to the other, including stoppages. The Mail Stage now goes from Boston to New-York in 3G hours, and to Philadelphia in 50 hours. In Great Britain, the improvement has. been nearly as great. An advertisement of the Stage Coaches in the A'ewcastie {Eng,) Courantj in 1712, .says, “all that desire to pass from Edinbro’ to London, or from Lon don to Edinbro,’ or dny other pldce on that road, let them repair to Mr. Baillie’s, at the Coach and Horses, at the head of Cannon- gate, Edinbro’ every o’her Saturday, or to the Blatk Swan, in Holborrt, every other Monday ; at both of which places, they may be received in a Stage Coach, which per forms the whole journey irt thirteen days with out sloppagty {tf€rodpermity) having 80 able horses to perftir.ia the whole stage.” Now the prescribed time for tlie Mail coach from London to Edinburj^b, is 46 hours; and it in performed in 46 hours !=— Worcester iSpy.

AN ATHEIST^CONVINCED. . Sir Isaac Newton, having an acquaintance ivho denied the existence of a Supreme Being took the following method to convince him of his error upon his own principles. Ex pecting him upon a visit, he procured a very handsome globe of the starry heavens, which could not escape* his, friend’s observation, who seized the first occasion to ask from whence it came, and to whom it belonged. “ Not to me, said Sir Isaac, nor was it ever made by any person, but came here by chance !” That replied his sceptical friend, is absolutely impossible : you surely jest.” Sir Isaac, however seriously persisting in his assertion, took occasion to reason with his friend upon his own atheistical principles. “ You will not, said he, believe that this small body originated in chance, and yet you would contend that those heavenly bod ies, of which it is a faitit and diminutive re semblance cartie into existence without order or design ! Pursuing this chain of reason ing, his friend was at first confounded, in the next placb cbnyinced, and ultimately joined iii cordial acknowledgment of the ab surdity of denying the existence of a God. THE SAILORS ON SHORE. . T.m. —I say. Jack, where can a body come athwart the as theycall it? Jack .—Savings Bank did you say 1. faith that’s past my reckoning. What would they be at there, ship mate ? Tom.— Harkee Jack, as oilr. Captain was paying us off, says he, Tom, what will you do with all this money Says I that’s something more than I have thought about x but between sky larking and jolly boys, I’ll soon be rid of it. Well, says the Captain, and how will you manage to 'make the pot boil when you are sick or old ?AVOuld it not be better for you to lay by the whole or part of the money, #hich you have earned by so much hard duty, to make yourself comfor table when you are on j’our beam ends.— Aye sir, said I, but if one gives it to our owriers, ten chances to one' but they break. If we lend it to a messmate, or leave it with our landlady', it’s all one, we never have any good of it. True enouh, Tom, says oui? Captain, but if you put it into the Savings Bank, yovt are sure of getting it again, when W’anted, and that too with interest. So 3 ’ou must know, Jack, I’ve been overhauling what the Captain has told me, and am re-- solved to just stow away my cash, and in stead of carousing ashore, ship with the captain for next voyage.

Was’ent he, alwa 3 *^^ doing something to make us comfortable ^ But how comes it he did not tell us of the Sa vings Bank then? Tom. —^Avast, the Captain cpuld not tell us of it for the best reason in tlie world, it was not then under way. J«cA;.-*~WeJI, full allowance and fair jjveather, say I, to the noble hearts who plan- ^ned it. Why, Tom, a body has something to work for now.

Long Prayers.-Llt seems to be ^^Ujed principal witli some gooijjii'en'td prayers in social meetings, ds longas.possi-. ble. They exhaust all the powers o f atteii-^ tion in those who join with them,a longtime before they conie to a Coiifclusioii. This practice has no st^cient apology. It is death to all genuine devotion. Indeed not ttncommonly it js the ofispring of death, a^‘ well as the parent o f it. In all social m.eej-^ higs, prayers shoffld be short and cpmpdt hensive. They will then be edifying; all devout hearts misty unite in them. Jf. they are long, the .''peaker willjirohafely be tlio only person in the Company whose heart it' engaged.
