J-rcmthe Pittsburgh Republican. THE WORLD The world the world the dreary world, Where kindred souls have met, And parted in their loveliness, Willi sorrow and regret Where love hath bound its wreaths of joy Around the brow of care. And pity's tears hae washed away The ruins of despair! The world the world the fairy worldbo beautiful and gay. Where eager Hope is weaving nets To catch a summer's dty! Where Youth is romping in its health, And gaunt old age goes by With feeble step, and sunken check. To lay him down and die! The world the world how lovely, yet How lonely all its ties A boudoir filled with amaranths A charnel-house of sighs! The dreary abode of dark, despair The lighted hall of mirth The spirit-house of holiness The gr ave of all the earth!

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. Thchuih and logically invincible stand
whic h has just been taken in New York,
ng.iiust the re-establishment ot the law which dra3 the unfortunate debtor into imprisonment, isalike worthy ol the heads and hearts of those opposed to it. The co-operation of men whose wealth, judgment, and exalted talents have long since given thcru an enviable station among the leaders and the ornaments of society, -cannot fail to accomplish the philanthropic aim. They have not they cannot have any individual interest in view; in-
dpi-d. it is more reasonable to sunooso. i
thai liicv must rather suitor than gam, by j
a continuation of the present salutarv law. Their aim in the removal from the statute book, of laws more fitted to gratify the life-seeking vengeance of a Nero, than to promote the commercial security
or happiness of a civilized community.
hat possible good can imprisonment for dcLtelfect? Does it render the creditor more secure, or the debtor more honest? .False, indeed, must be the reasoning of the one and the intention of the other. The creditor's safety dwell- not in the law, tut in his own prudence: if he credit a ni'-:i who exhibits his industry, his frugality, his temperate and decorous system of iile, a disposition to deal honestly with liis tuiiow-man, it must certainly be at his ow n risk but it seldom happens that in eiiv.li a person he finds a awiudler: if, on
the contrary, he favour a man of dissimilat habits, he not only encourages those luiTUs, but he will rarely find such a man trustworthy. It seldom occurs that the former will not be able to meet hu en fa wejneuts; but how much more seldom is the -latter so. In case the former be for a while exposed to the incidental misfortune 'i me, wilt imprisonment repay the Creditor? will it not rather deprive the po r insolvent of availing himself of the chances which are -'m-ring ihcr.iooUes for the inJusrri'j-.is, and lead him from involuntary idleness to despair?

PROSPECTTS OF TWO SEW VOLUMES. 4 YEAR has now elapsed since the subIll scribr introduced the new method ot publishing books in a periodical form, so as to be transportable by mail. Sanguine as was his belief cf the advantages, to all classes, of this experiment, its success has more than equalled his expectations, and he "w ill enter upon a second year with renewed energy and assiduity. Experience has sug-
gesicu improvements which have bem already made; and others, as they offer, will be introduced ia the course of the ensuing volumes, tending to give additional inteiest and permanent value to the enterprise. What has been done, however, is sufficient evidence of what may be a gait execu
ted, and the subscriber believes that a mere recapitulation of facta will be sufficient to produce conviction of the advantages of hi mode of publication, on the roind of those who may net yet have taken the subject into consideration. The following works have actually been published in the course of the first vear for the small sum of FIVH DOLLARS!! VOL. I. Waldstein, or the Swedes in Prague, a novel by Madame Pichler. Memoirs of Count Lavallettc, written by himself. Six Months in America, by Godfrey T. Vigne.

Editorial Notices, Poetry, &c. &c Of the 840 pages which compose the contents of the two volumes of the ear, exactly 590 have been reprinted after u by booksellers, leaving 250 which arc exclusively m the Library.' Though that portion was furnished to the booksellers much, below the usual rate, and printed on small sized type, still the price in book form was Sl2 00-equal to SEVENTEEN DOLLARS for the year, V hen the advantages of circulation by mail are considered, and also that, in clubs of fi ve individuals, each gets the work for S. 00, which difference pays the postage, it must be admitted, on all hands, that it is the greatest reduction on the usual selling prices of any article ever attempted, much less executed But the subscriber does not found his claims to public patronage alone on cheapness of his periodical. The works
published have been of a highly literary and ery attractive character, as is proved by second book editions having followed those of the 'Library with rapidity, and every one of which, even at the advanced price charged in that form, has had a most rapid sale. The time and attention of a literary gentleman are almost entirely devoted to making selections for the work, and in seeking, from the mass cf books in the public institutions of Philadelphia, as well as from the i.ew books imported from Great Britain, the most interesting aud valuable mutter; and he has had the pleasure cf bringing before the American public several works which, otherwise would probably not have been reprinted here. As it is intended to print onlv a small number over the copies actually subscribed for, those wishing the work are respectfully requested to send their orders as early as possible. As this mode of publication can be senported only by a numerous and punctual list of subscribers, the friends to ati economical diffusion ot sound litucrature arc called upon for their patronage. .A hrrdted number of the first two volumes, second series, can still be had by those who desire to possess the cheapest selection of ncv) and good books ever effrrcd.
