BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE. REPUBLICATION OP The London Quarterly Review, The Edinburg Review, The North British Review, The Westmin ter Review, and Blackwood's Edinburgh Maga- ZINB. The wide spread fame of these splendid periodi cals renders it needless 10 say much in iheir praise. - As literary organs, they stand far in advance of any works of a similar stamp now published, while the political complexion of each is marked by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not cflen lound in works of a party character. They embrace the views of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig and Radical —Blackwood and the l.ondon 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. It« 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 und reprinted under separate ti tles. It has, therefore, the advantage by this combi 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 paper, and are faithful copies of she originals, Black wood’s Magazine being an exact sac-simile of the Edinburgh edition. TERMS. For any one of the foul Reviews, per annum •• $3 00 For an} 7 two “ “ *, «*ss 00 For any three *• “ “ •• 700 For all four of the Reviews, “ •• 8 00 For Blackwood’s Magazine “ •• 3 00 For Blackwood and three Reviews, “ •• 900 For Blackwood and the four Reviews “ •• 10 00 Payments to be made in all cases in advance. EARLY COPIES. Our iate 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 hands of subscribers before any portion of it can be reprinted in any of the American journals. For this and 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 cr franked, to the pub lishers.

BUYS- ay John a saxb. “The noblest study of mankind is man ” The most perplexing one, no doubt, is .woman; The subtlest study that the mind can scan, Os ail Jeep problems, heavenly or human 1 But of all studies in the round of learning, From Nature’s marvels down to human toys, To minds well fined for acme discerning’, The very queerest one is that of boys I If to ask questions that would puzz’e P)a r o, And all the schoolmen of the middle age,— If to make precepts worthy of old Cato, Be deemed philosophy —your boy’s a sage! If the possession of a teeming fancy, (Although, forsooth, the you neater does’nt know it,) Which he can use in rarest necromancy, Be thought poetical—your boy’s a poet! If a strong will, and roost courageous bearing, If to be cruel as the Roman Nero ; If all that’s chivalrous, and all that’s daring, Can make a hem, then the boy’s a hero { But changing soon with hia increasing stature, The boy is lost in manhood’s riper age, And with him goes his former triple nature — No longer poet, hero, now, nor sage ! Highgato, Vt., December 19, 1848. Lkprosv.—The awful disease of leprosy still exists in Africa. Whether it he the same leprosy as that mentioned in the Bible.l do nei know ; but it is regarded ..s perfectly incurable, and so infectious that no one dares to come near the leper. In the South of Africa there is a large lazar house for lepers. It is an immense space, enclosed by a very high wall, and containing fields which the lepers cultivate. There is only one entrance, which is strictly guarded. When any one is found with the marks ofleprosy upon him, he is brought to this gate and obliged to enter in, never to re turn. No one who enters in by that awful gate is ever allowed to come out again. With in this abode of misery there are multitudes of lepers in all the stages of the disease. D Hel beck, a missionary of the Church of England, from the top of a neighboring hill,saw them at work. He noticed two particularly, sowing peas in the field. The one had no hands, the other had no feet—these members being wasted away by the disease. The one who wanted the hands was carrying the other who wanted the feet, upon his back, and he, again, carried in his hands the hag of seed, and dropped a pea every now and then, which the other press ed into the ground with his foot, and so they managed the work of one man between the two. Ah! how little we know of the misery that is in this world. Such is this prison of disease. But you will ask who cares for the souls of the hapless inmates ? Who will forsake father and mother, houses and land, to carry the mes sage of a Saviour to these poor lepers? Two Moravian Missionaries, impelled by a divine love for souls have chosen ibis lazar house as their field of labor. They entered it never to come out again. And, lam told, that as soon as they die other Moravians are quite ready to fill their place. Ah ! my dear friends, may we not blush and be ashamed before Gnd, that we, redeemed with the same blood, and taught by the same spirit, should yet be so unlike these men in vehement, heart consuming love of Jesus and the souls of men. —M Cheyne. The President elect is a joker. At a tavern in Maryland, while he was waiting for the Bal timore train, among others who introduced themselves was one of the übiquitous Smith family. On hearing the name, General Taylor remarked with a merry twinkling of the eye— “ That’s no name at all.” “ Why, Gen.” re plied Mr. Smith, “ you should have no object ion to the name; Mrs. Taylor was a Smith.”. “Yes,” added he promptly, “but 1 made her change her name, and advise you to do so too.”— Boston Post.
