Atfrinson's Casket, Gr Gems of Literature, Wit a;id Senti inent A MONTHLY PERIODICAL Each number containing 4 royal octavo pages of letter press, embellished with at ?east one copperplate, and eevaral wood engravings, and one or more pieces of music, The work forms at the end of ayear a Toluiue of about 600 pages, to which an elegant engraved title pago and u general index are added. THE number of volumes of lh Casket which have already been published and the faithfulness and punctuality cf the publisher in fulfilling his contracts with his patrons, in respect to their contents, are sufficient, with those at ail acquainted with ths work, to show its true charrcter The eonstantiv increasing patronage be- - stowed on ths Casket, has enabled the puli-; Fisher to make considerate improvements' in the worlx. Its typographical appearance icon .it. 1 is much changed for the bettor, and its contents arc enriched. lie believes thai the volume now proposed, will not he exceeded fn respect to typographical execution, the quantity and quality of the engravings, and the value f the contents, be any other periodical; and he safely asserts it to be the clieanci-t publication of the kind in the country. The facilities for obtaining s::itablo artides f. this -work have of'r.tc, .much inv public-! creased. Jiorne of the best lit o: a tions cf Europe are regularly t-x-cived at tl office of the Casket, as well as the prominent American periodicals. From Loth selections are made with much care. To secure a. sufficient quantity of original matter, and to enable men of talents to prosecute their labors with euccess, and contribute to advance the literature and science of our own country the publisher gives a compensation to his correspondents, comme-surate to the support he receives. In respect to the Embellishments which will appear in the work, the publisher believes that no ether periodical has such a profusiun of elegant and expensive engravings. Executed in general by tho fi'-st artists in the city they will suffer nothing by comparison. These form a considerable item in the expenses of the work, and in one year, exceed the wboh cot of printing some periodical? for the same length of time, the subscription price of which is no lower than the Catket. The subject of the engravings will continue to be as heretofore Portraits of distinguished character.-; plates of the Newest Fashions, both of Europe an America; Views of American Scenery, particularly striking and interesting; Natural History; Embroidering; Foreign and Domestic Architecture; Botanical Plants, and whatever "other objects may be deemed calculated toiustruct, interest and amuse. To inculcate sound and virtuous prccpts &: - puard the thoughtless against the snaves of vice; to lend the youthful mind to the contemplation of those sublime and all important subjecs which deeply aiTect its prosperity; to tive a taste for the rich, pleasing and bsnengal enjoyments of literature and learning, cid to hoid out inducements for the young to anltivate their powers and enrich their understanding with substantial informatiou.aere matters which the publisher trusts he will ever keep in view, He is to gratified in looking over his past labors, find no language or sentiment recorded, calculated to detract trom the beauty of virtue or to thnw v ice in a less hideous aspect than really is. Due attention is also paid to it Poetry, Anecdote, Light Reading, Amusing sketches, and those ttcctt rns which relieve the maid from the labor of close study, which refresh, the understanding1, and give a zest to graeer and more important compositions.

ASPARAGUS. This delicious esculent vegetable, after due preperation of the ground, is easily cultivated. It requires a rich sandy loam, well manured to the depth of two and a hal f feet, and raised one foot above the alleys: then, in addi tion, a good quantity of manure, well trenched in htteen inches below the urface. A plantation of one square, rod is little enough for a family: and to plant this requires about one quart of seed. It should be sown in Annl or May, or three weeks before frosts in sautumn, in rows nine inches distant That which is sown in the fall, should be well littered to nearly a foot thick, to protect the tender plants through the first winter. Let the crop, the first and seeond year, and nearly all the third year, run up to seed. Water it occasionally till the third or fourth year loosen the ground every spring before budding, with a proper fork, and keep it clean of weeds during the season. At the approach of winter, cover it with a layer of dung to the depth or an inch or more. In the third or fourth year, accor ding to the perfection of the plants cut the shoots for use, three inches be low the surface, as often as they spring up. till the twentieth of June then let them run up to seed. This method will afford good crops for tea or twelve years at least. The seed is best preserved in the ber ry... In addition to the agreeable fla vor, it is thought to be a good pallia tive, or remedy in the gravel. HABITS OF THE WTOLF. The smell of burning asafetida has a rcmarkble effect upon this animal. In a fire made in the woods, throw on a portion of this drug, so as to saturate the atmosphere with the odor, the wolves if any are within reach of the scent, immediately assemble round howliug in the most mournful manner, and such is the remarkable facmation under which they seem to labour, that they will often suffer themselves to be shot down rather than quit the spot Of the few instances of their attacking human beings, of which wc have heard the tollowmg may serve to give some idea of their habits. In early times a negro man was passing in the night in the lower partol Kentucky, from one settlement to another, -lhedis tance tras several miles, and the country over which he travelled entirely unsettled. In the morning his carcass was found entirely stripped of flesh. Near it lay his axe covered with blood,' and all around the bushes were beaten down the ground trodden, . and the number of foot tracks so greate as to show that the unfortunate victim had fought long and manfully. On pursuing his track it appeared the wolves had pursued them for a considerable distance; he had often turned upon them and driven them back Several times they had attacked him, and been repelled as appeared from the blood and tracks. He had killed some of them before the final onset, and in the last conflict had destroyed several. His axe was his only weapon. On another occasion, many years ago a negro man was going through woods with no companion but his fiddle, when he discovered that a pack of wolves was on his track.- They pursued very cautiously, but a few of them would sometimes aasn up ana growl as ifimpatint for their prey, and then tall back again. As he had several miles to go he became much alarmed. He sometimes stopped, shouted, drove back his pursuers, and then proceeded. The animals became more aud more audacious, and would probably have attacked him, had he not arived at a deserted cabin which stood by the way sideinto this he rushed for shelter and without wai tingtoshut the door, climbed up and seated himself on the rafters. 1 be wolves dashed in after him, and became quite ferocious, howled and leaped and endeavored with every cxageration of rage to ert at him. ' The moon wax

now shining brightly and he being a- ; ble to sec his enemies, and satisfied for , . his own safety, beran to act on the

offensive. Finding the cabin full of them, he crowded down to the top of the door, which he shut and' fastened. Tlren removine some of the. loosed boards from the roof, scattered them with a tremendious clatter upon such of his foes as remained outside, who soon scamperep off, ' while those in the house began to crouch with fear. He -i had how a large number of prisoners to stand guard over until moniinj?: theu drawing forth his fiddle, he very good naturedly played for them all night, very- much as he supposed, to their edification and, amusement, for ike all genuine lovers of music, he magined it had power to soften, even the heart of a wolf. On the ensuing day, some of the neighbours assembled and destroyed the captives with great rejoiceing. ANECDOTE OF A PRINTER. At a supper which closed the annu al meeting of the Colnmbia Typograhical Society, held at Washington on Saturday week Mr. VerpIanck,one of the guests related the following anecdote. I was engaged some years ago in a miscellaneous literary work, . in conjuction with two or three friends, whose writings are amongst the most valuable productions of native litera ture. The volumns were most accurately as well as very neatly printed. : Before the sheets had reached the binder, and long before they had fallen under the eyes of any regular editorial critic, I was surprised with are- ! view of the work in one of our best, and most widely circulated literary journals. It was written with great talents, as well as elegance and sprightliness of style, and in the most friendly pint... Un inquiring the name of our good natured and able critic, the au-' thors were surprised to learn that he , was the compositor who had set up alL the manuscript, and who knewr it only , in "Thar way. Our friend has since laid down the stick for they pen, and is now, as I trust, winning his way to fame and fortune in another country. o::::::::o . A Connecticut family . on a visit o the south, to save postage drew on the margin of a newspaper achild,s face, an awl and a well with buckets, (feethus interpreted, "We have an infant, and all are well." The Count de Grange being wounded in the knee with a musket ball, the surgeons made many incisions. Losing patience at last he asked them why they cut and carved so cruelly. "We seek the ball.'" " Why did you not speak before," said the Count, "I have it in my pocket." When Mr. Popeoncedined at Lord Chesterfield's one of the. domesticks told his fellow servant, that he should have known Popewas a great poet by. his very shape' for it was in and out like the lines of a Pindaric ode. The greatest things and the most praisworthy that can be done for the public good, are not what require great parts, but great honesty; therefore for a king to make an amiable character he needs only to be a man or common honest', well advised. ANCIENT FAMILY. The following is an amusing instance of the tenacity with which the 1 Highlanders hold to the honors and antiquities of their kindred. A dispute arose between Cambell aud M'Lean, upon this never ending subject. M'Lean would not allow that Cambells had ahy right to rank with the M'Leans in antiquity, who he insisted were in. ex

istence as a clan from the neginning of the world. Cambell had a little more biblical lore than his antagonist, and asked him if the clan M'Lean was before the fiood. "Flood '. what flood t said M'Lean. "The flood that drowned all the world you know but Noah ' and his family and his flocks," said Campell. "Pooh '.you and your flood' said M'Lean, my clan was afore ta t flood." "I have not read in my Bible' said Cambell, 'of the name of M'Lean ever going into Noah's ark." - Noah's ark!" retorted .MTean, in contempt, , "who ever heard of a M'Lean that had not a boat o' their own. m :o::o:j:: - Honesty is the best policy.
