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. *** Remittances and communications should be al ways addressed, post-paid or franked, to the pub lishers.

PROSPECTUS Os THE SEVENTH VOLUME , | . _ op I 1 f£/ / <-,■ MONTHLY JOURNAL, Devoted ■ ll so tl)t Jfntmstß o! \ff| 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.

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.
