BiEfNGi fully convinced that ardent spirit is'not an indispensable article for a
Public.House, but is a, great evil, and will not long be tolerated by an enlightened community, I have determined to dispense with it 'altogether.
My grateful acknowledgements are herewith tendered to a generous public, for twenty ̂ earsMiberal patronage, and renewed exertions will "now be made to merit a continuance of'the. same. I humbly trust the good people ofcthe land,' Who may happen to pass this'way, 'will' not shun -my house because I do- hot offer them^poison to-drink.

''A POWJ3LARancfhighly esteemed repos-Jjk. itory of literature and the fine arts: (the first number of a new volume to be issued on the-fifth day,of July next:) containing articles from the pens of well-known and distinguished writers, upon every subject that can prove interesting to the general reader.
Embellished with splendid and costly engravings, on steel, copper, apd wood, and rare, beautiful, and popular music, arranged for the pianoforte, harp, guitar, &c. Price, W& per annum, payable in advance. George P. 'Morris, Theodore S. Fay, and Nathaniel P. Willis, Editors.
The Editors of the New-York Mirror, in announcing the commencement of the Twelfth Volume, take great pleasure in assurin&their readers, that the past year, like its predeces^ sors, has be_en productive both of enlarged means and'increased encouragement for augmenting the interest and value of the Journal, and the "beauty of its embellishments. Induced by the flatteriDg experience of former years, we resolved, at the beginning of the volume which is. now drawing to its close, to make at once a very large addition to the number of impressions we had been-accus-tomed to strike off, and it has given us real pleasure to find the experiment proved, by
m result, to have been judicious; every k has brought an increase to "our sub
scription, and a sensible diminution to our stock of back numbers, so that it and the volume bid fair to reach their close together.
In appearance, the Mirror is admitted to be unrivalled. The pap'er on which it is printed, is manufactured with great care, expressly for this work ; our printer is not only a workman of great skill and taste, but indefatigable in seeking out, devising, and adopting improvements: and to afford him the means of carrying his plans into effect, and of doing justice to his skill-and attention, we have just procured, at no trifling expense, a copious supply of new and beautiful type, which will be commenced with the first" ber of the coming volume.
The Engravings furnished in the present volume have been much and justly admired; but beautiful and costly as they are, they will be far surpassed by those in the progress of preparation for the next. The first will be The Portraits of the Presidents, from original Paintings, grouped in an exquisite device, from a design'by Weir, and engraved by Cas-silear. yThere has been no limit to the time, labour, or expense devoted to this picture ; and it is unanimously pronounced by the numerous artists and critics, who have seen it in its various stages, perfectly lovely, the most exquisite embellishment ever produced in this country, and an honor to American .sjrf,. as well as to the gentlemen who have as-sfetjd in its execution. ''SfTrfe second will be a view of General Washington's Head-Quarters at New-Windsor, on the Hudson, near Newburgh; painted by Weir, and engraved by Smillie.
The third, A Scene in the Highlands of the Hudson, illustrating Bryant's exquisite address to a water-fowl; also painted by Weir, and engraved by Smillie; and,
The fourth, a View of Washington's Mon-uiiient at Baltimore, and tlm surrounding-scenery ; painted by Wharton, and engraved by Smillie. i.
All these engravings have been or will be executed expressly for the Mirror; the designs and engravings are both original. t The expense will be enormous; but, as we have said on a former occasion, we are prepared to do all and risk att fbr the eoTrtimratrce and increase of the public favor, and we have no fears of .losing our reward.

publisher, flattered and encouraged by steady and increasing support, has concluded to i|t sue the fourth volume of this journal, m weekly numbers.

Tho volume will contain twenty-six pieces of music for the Piano Forte, Flute, &c.T equal to one hundred pages of common sheet-music, which could not be purchased separately for less than five dollars; and the publisher is determined to procure the simple rather than the complex and difficult.
Although the publisher place?; no dependence whatever, in the support oT'it, as a lit— .erary paper, |rom its engravings, yet there will be presented occasionally, plates from copper and wood, of beautiful workmanship and finish.
Its contents will'he various and spirited, as thef&will be each month,ta General Re*cord of tpfcurrences, Stat$tjc;Si ObifuaYy notices, listWMarriages and Deaths,'&c. &c., in addition to the Tales, Legends, Essays, Travelling, Literary, Fugitive dfid Historical Sketches, Biography, Poetry, &c. &c., making an elegant paper for the parlor, and for the lover of polite literature, as contributions will be secured from some of the most popular American Authors.
The work will be printed as well, and contain as much reading matter" as any similar quarto paper now published in the United States; and it can safely and truly be called the cheapest journal of tho kind.
TERMS.—Three dollars per annum, (as the paper is firmly established,)"to he paid in advance. Two dollars for s i^npif ths. to be paid in advance. . '••*». *

in the litttevillage «f C—*—•» with ray back towards the speaker. I immediately turned so as to face him. He was a strange-looking, weather-beaten veteran, of some sixty years old, With gray hair and beard, and a countenance deeply bronzed and furrowed. His frame was somewhat bent, anda-staffwas. cbrown.jM&er his shrfulder, at the end of which dangled a pail containing about six quarts of whortleberries. Hi8 dress was not of the la test fashion. It was thin enough for the month of August; and its numerous darn* aDd patches told'bf frequent encounters with., bush and brier. . -,
"Can I sell you some whortleberries'?" said he to the merchant in attendance.
"What is your priceV? asked the merchant. ,„
" Only three cents a quart," said the veteran ; " and I will take my pay in goods. I DON'T WANT MONEY."
The merchant purchased his cargo, and a little tea and tobacco sufficed for the exchange. The old man seemed extremely gratified with these luxuries, and was evidently well pleased with . his bargain. He put them carefully into his coat pocket, first assuring himself, by careful examinatKjIp, th% no envious rent endangered the security "of that receptacle, and with a light heart and a lighter burden, was about to depart. T h e old. man was somewhat deaf. For this reason, and perhaps from long companionship with the silent woods"lie seemed little inclined to converse with the bantering youngsters abouthjtn. Several sallies of wit were made at his expense; but they did not ruffle his temper: he was too deaf to hear them—too innocent to understand them—and perhaps too quiet to notice them, if he had been fully aware of their purport and object.
The Man of Whortleberries moved toward the door. "S top a moment,'* said one of the youngsters-^" do you know that'that tea you have received ha* beett steeped > It hits lost its strength J" ".**""
"What 'say 1" drawled the oltl tttKn, piat-ting his hand to hi* ear ro-catc^<hif.!«o!uaa.
The questioW wa» repeated,r '"J)o you know that thut tea has beeh s teer L i *"
«fwhortleberries or blackberries. "But do you mean to have me understand,'*
said I, "that so slight an inducement as the equivalent for six quarts of whortleberries, can tempt a man of his years to. travel a distance of fourteen miles on foot?"
"Certainly," replied the merchant; "and not -only fourteen miles, but forty, if it were necessary. He considers hunself forturfnte in haviog disposed of his load to me this morning, as my store is the nearest to h im; but he would have travelled patiently to* all the stores within a circuit of five miles, if he. had not fonnd an early purchaser." '
As I w'ended my way homeward, "?ff the shadows of the evening, the Man of Whortleberries was still the object of my thoughts. " Here," said I, "is truly an examp'.e of simplicity of living. 'Man wants but little,' is a common aphorism; but who, amid the numberless fantastical requirements of society, fully understands its meaning? 'Man wants but little,' proclaims the preacher, in purple and fine linen, from the sacred desk; and yet his own costly attire, the gilding" of his pulpit, his liberal, though not comparatively luxurious habit of living, his servants, etc. go not beyond his understanding of' little,' for thus inquireth he : * Are uof all these tilings necessary tor me and my condition V ' Certainly,' respond the crowd, who fill the spacious aisles, and listen with reverence to bis spiiituiilly-tempercd accents. And he walks uprightly, and his meniajs receive him at the gates, and -he eutcrs in and asks himself the question : ' Am I not content with little?' and his ehurehly conscience tells him, ' Ay, truly;' for he walketh while the bishops and clergy of England ride in their coaches, and the cardinals of Rome are borne about in state. He preacheth and is content, while many have higher houses and. larger salaries, and he e-tteth his capon itndVtlrinketh his wine, and is satisfied with five'coy.ersi while others have ten, and twenty, :ind fifty^arid he wipes his mouth with his napkin, atyj&rolls his eyes complacently, as the gloria and dignities of the external church pass in review before him. He throws himself backward upon his couch with a sigh of christian resignation, at his estrangement from all the.se vanities; and, shutting his eyes peacefully, he gives himself to sleep soundly; and this is the burthen of his solace: 'Man wants but little !'
" And your man of rank thinks himself virtuous, and equal to the truth of the maxim, if he discards his horses and dogs, and stints his dignity to enrich his heir; and your fine gentleman, if himself and wife—before their first child—are content with three servants instead of five; and your other gentleman, if he can do with one family servant, having, nevertheless, the freedom of the market, and cpnsidering every delicacy most necessary; and your comfortablR cit, who saves and shaves, and small mcasureth and short measureth, making strange application to his customers of the goodly maxim, ' Man wants but little'—even he drives out in his stanhope, and goes to the springs, and returns home, and forthwith drives, and saves, an I shaves, harder" than ever—even this man, I say, prinks himself upon his moderate enjoyments, and keeps his scrapings instead of his coach; and all on the credit of the maxim, 'Man wants but little.' And your yeoman, who sneers at city pride, despises silk and broadcloth—whoso coat and whose virtues are homespun—even he knocks down an ox, devours ir, washes it down with a gallon of brown stout, and, in his grace after meals, exclaims, 'Man wants but little.'"
How infinitely could I multiply illustrations! Few ladies, with their furbelows and gew-gaws, imagine for a moment that they lack proper economy. Like the rest of the world, to be sure, they have their wants. A few trifles are indispensable; but they are mere trifles, they want but little. ' Man wants but little,' etc.
But a truce to these illustrations. Shrill f \ busy myself no longer with the proud humi-lity and luxurious economy of theHvorW.«— £K&. - it .1— .1&--.L..I e e 11

T$nt, out upon all the examples of frugality and contentment that tnay be found within* the narrow frails and mocey-mildew of the city! How insignificant are,, they all, when compared" to-flw-5Ian_o£_Whortieberries! His portion of the cajth's*fatr surface comprises but a feW. rods, in>a sheltered nook of the greenwood. To him, the passage of time is felt only as peace and happiness, while, wttb^the-ceiiam!y_Qf_spring-time and harvest, comes the certainty fjL plenty and" comfort. -What mattjfrs it to him that the tempests of^,winter rage around his crazy dwelling? Anan, he is dcaf^amLif the driving rain and snow„penetratc \)s roof, and assails his reverend head—fie, fielye sentimentalists, shiver as ye may—his frame is proof against tho assault. Nature has sheltered his feelings in their own manly covering.
Notwithstanding his seclusion from society, the Man of Whortleberries is not, it seems, without his refinements and luxuries. Is this fact a blemish in his history, or does it mar the picture I have-presented ? Ah no! Detraction cannot reach him! With the season of whortl^prjies, comes the desire for a little tea antt tobacco. He wants butJittle, and his, desires are bield in check by his philoso-pby. Oh,coulathethousands, the millions, who now moulder in their premature cold graves.the victims of unrestrained indulgence, but start to life, to observe and practise his lesson! The .old man wants but Jittle. If the tea shonJitfail, he wouldjnake it up with tobacco; ntt|"4f fhe tobacco should fail, of a surety he could sit down quietly and make it up with his ptnTo8ophy. Matchless, matchless Man of Whorilcberries! When will fnan-kind learn thus to temper their enjoyments « i t h moderatipnfeand to say to their mere bodily propens^Ies', 'Thus far shall ye go, and no farther*** , ' .* .'
