BRITISH PERIODICAL
LITERATURE.
j REPUBLICATION OP
The London Quarterly Review,
The Edinburg Review,
The North British Review,
The Westmin ter Review, and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh Maga-
ZINE.
1 i The wide-spread fame of these splendid periodi
; cals renders it needless to say much in their praise.—
As literary organs, they stand far in advance of any
wurks of a similar stamp now published, while the
political complexion of each is marked by a dignity,
candor, and forbearance, not often found in works of
a party character.
They r embrace the views of the three great parties
in England—Tory, Whig and Radical —Blackwood
and the London Quarterly are Tory; the Edinburgh
Review, Whig; and the Westminster Review Radi
cal. The North British Review is more of a reli
gious character, having been originally edited by Dr.
Chalmers, and now, since his death, being conducted
by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir
David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The ‘ Westminster,’ though re
printed under that title only, is published in England
under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and West
minster, it being in fact a union ol the two Reviews
formerly published and reprinted under separate ti
bles. It Ims, therefore, the advantage by this corabi
tation, of uniting in one work the best features of
both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York,
immediately on their arrival by the British steamers,
in a beautiful clear type, on fine white p aper, and are
faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood’s Magazine
being an exact fac-sicnilo of the Edinburgh edition.

EARLY COPIES.
Our late arrangement with the British publishers
of Blackwood’s Magazine secures to us early sheets
of that work, by which we are enabled to place the
entire number in the bands of subscribers before any
portion of it can be reprinted in any of the American
journals. For this aod other advantages secured to
our subscribers, we pay so large a consideration, that
we may be compelled to raise the price of the maga
zine. Something may therefore be gained by sub
scribing early.

ways addressed, post-paid or franked, to the pub

SOUTHERN AG-RICUIiTURE.
EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D.
, Illustrated with numerous elegant and costlt
Engravings.
TERMS.—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM,
IN ADVANCE.
The character and object of the SOUTHERN
CULTIVATOR are so well known, wherever it has
been read, that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne
cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub
mitting a Prospectus, for the SEVENTH VOLUME.
To establish an
AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL
worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified
products, industry and resources, has been their
highest ambition; and although their efforts have been
but poorly rewarded, they flatter themselves their
labor has not been in vain. The services of an
Editor, Dr. LEE, one of the first practical and scien
tific Agriculturists in the Union, have been secured
at a heavy expense ; and the work is embellished by
a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu
sively devoted to its illustration. Indeed, no effort nor
expense has oeen spared to render the work most
useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive
benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as
we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether
the Planters of the South will “ put their shoulders
to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great
work of improving the husbandry and meliorating
the social condition of the whole people. We think
they will, and it is our confidence in their intelligence
and liberality which has sustained us through years
of unrewarded toil. The Work should be in the
hands of and read by every one who has the charge
of a family in the Southern States; and to show how
earnest we are in our desire to excite an effort among
our friends to extend its circulation and usefulness,
we offer the following splendid Premiums to those
who may interestthemselves in procuring subscribers ;
$750 in Premiums.
|3*Por the highest number of subscribers, not less
than one hundred, sent by any one individual, a
premium of twenty-five dollars.
fjT For the next highest number, not less than
eighty, twenty dollars.
For the next highest number, not less than
j sixty, fifteen dollars.
O’ For the next highest number, not less than
i fifty, ten doliars.
For the next highest number, not less than
forty, five dollars.
These Premiums will be paid in the most approved
Agricultural works, and will apply to each of the fol
lowing named ten States, viz : North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansr s and Texas. So that
each State may secure an t .ire list of premiums, it
the friends of Agriculture bestir themselves. They
will receive the work at the Club price.
The premiums to be awarded on the first day of
MARCH, 1849.
All persons who desire to enter the list for Pre
miums must notify us on forwarding the first names.
The first number of the Seventh Volume will be
issued en the FIRST OP JANUARY, 1849. It will
be published monthly, on fine paper, in quarto form,
each number containing SIXTEEN PAGES of close
ly printed matter, 9 by 12 inches square, forming a
volume in the course of the year, of 192 pages.

PAST MEMORIES—by john g. whittieb.
How thrills once mora the lengthening chain
1 Os mern’ry at the thought of thee !
Old hopes which long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back again,
And boyhood lives in me ;
I feel ita glow upon my cheek,
Its fullness of the heart is mine,
As when I learned to hear thee speak,
Or raised my doubtful eyes to thine.
I hear again thy low replies,
I feel thine arm within my own
And timidly again uprise
The fringed lids of hazel eyes
With soft brown tresses overflown,
And memories of swest summer eves,
Os moonlit wave and willowy way,
Os stars and flowers, and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tears more dear than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye hath smiled,
My picture of thy youth to see,
When half a woman, half a ehild,
Thy very artlessness beguiled,
And Polly’s self seemed wise in me ;
I too can smile, when o’er that hour
The lights of memory backward straam,
Yet feel the while that manhood’s power,
Is vainer than my boyhood’s dream.
Years have passed on, and left their trace
Os graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me the calm, cold face
Os Mankind, and to thee, the grace
Os Woman’s pensive beauty brought.
On life’s rough blast, for blame and praise,
The schoolboy’s name has widely flown ;
Thine, in the green and q’-’et ways
Os unobtrusive goodness known.
And wider yet, in thought and deed,
Our still diverging paths incline ;
Thine, the Genevan’s sternest creed,
Whila answers to my spirits need
The Yorkshire peasant’s simple line;
For thee, the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm ;
For me the silent reverend, where
My brethren gather slow and calm.
Yet hath that spirit left on me
An impress Time has worn not out.
And something of myself in thee,
A shadow of the past I see
Lingering e’en thy way about;
Not wholly can the heart unlearn
That lesson of its better hours,
Nor yet has Time’s dull footsteps worn
To common dust that path of flowers.
Caught in the Act.— We saw a funny
spectacle the other day. A dozen omnibuses,
with their live freight were about starting on a
Picnic, when a young woman ran hastly up
and said to a gentleman of the party who had
just seated himself cozily by the side of a pretty
girl.
Here, sir, I want to know what right you
have to be going on pic-nics, and your wife and
child at home V
‘Hush, Sophia,’ whispered the gentleman,
hastily getting out of the omnibus, hush the
people will hear you.’
* Who cares if they do ! Why did’nt you
think of the people, or of me, or your child, in
stead of running off to pic-nics, with other wo
men ?
•Well—there —now —don’t— ’
‘But I will though ! And as for you, miss, if
you ever dare to look at my husband again, I’ll
•I didn’t look at him, ma’am, tremblingly re
plied the poor girl; I thought he was a single
man when he asked me to go on a pic-nic with
him.’
So you’ve begun your didoes, have you, my
lark?’ exclaimed the wife: ,you’ve begun your
didoes have you? So—so—l 11 give you a les
son which you’ll remember— {tuning him by the
ears ) —now walk with me !’
The poor fellow writhed and implored, but
his better half kept her hold, and walked off
home, the laughter and jeers of the whole par
ty singing in his ears at every step.
We would’nthave stood in that poor fellow’s
boots that day; no, not for the privilige of lis
tening to the bestsermon ever preached.—Phil
adelphia City Item.
Gen. Washington and Lord Erskine.—A
volume was presented to Gen. Washington, in
1797, by Thomas, Lord Erskine, on a blank
page of which he wrote the following note,
containing perhaps, the happiest enlogium of
the many virtues bestowed upon that great and
wonderful man :
“ Sir, —I have taken the liberty to introduce
your august and immortal name in a short sen!
tence which is to be found in the book I send
you. 1 have a large acquaintance among the
most valuable and exalted classes of men, but
you are the only human being for whom lever
felt an awful reverence. I sincerely pray God
to grant a long and serene evening to a life so
gloriously devoted to the happiness of the
world.
Leaves from Margaret Smith’s Journal in the
Province of Massachusetts Bay, in 1678-’9,
Mr. Saltonstall told another story of old Mr.
Ward, which made us all merrie. There was
a noted anti-nomian of Boston, who used to go
much about the country disputing with all who
would listen to him, who coming to Ipswich
one night, with another of this sort with him,
would °fain have tarried with Mr. Ward, blithe
told them he had scarce Hay and Grain enough
in bis Barn for the use of his own Cattel, and
that they would do well to take their horses to
the Ordinary, where they could be belter cared
for. But the Fellow not wishing to be eoe put
off, bade him consider what the Scripture said
touching the keeping of strangers, as some
had thereby entertained Angels unawares.
True, my friend, but we don’t read that the
Angels came a horseback.”
$lO REWARD.
£THE ABOVE REWARD will be given
for the apprehension and delivery to me of my
Negro boy JIM, or for bis lodgment in any
jail so that I may get him. He is about 5 feet 4or 5
inches high; of dark complection ; has thick lips ; a
larger nose than is usual for one of his species—on
of which, there is a small spot darker
than the adjacent parts; on the same side of the face,
there is a mark an iach or an inch and a half long,
running nearly parallel with the nose, but verging
somewhat, as it extends downwards. He is, perhaps,
25 years old, and weighs about 130 pounds.
He has been a great deal about Augusta, Ga.; part
ofthe time in some one of the Printing Offices there ;
and, as he can write his own ticket, may try to return
and pass under a forged paper.
