OF JOY.
Mt soul was sickened within me 5 so I sought the
dwelling place of Joy :
And I met it not in laughter ; I found it not in
wealth or power ;
But I saw it in the pleasant home, where religion
smiled upon content,
And the satisfied ambition of the heart rejoiced in
the favor of jts God,
Behold the happy man, his face is rayed with plea
sure,
His thoughts are of calm delight, and none can
know his blessedness:
1 have watched him from his infancy, and seen him
in the grasp of death,
Yet never have I noted on his brow the cloud of
desponding sorrow.
He hath knelt beside his cradle ; his mother’s
hymn lulled him to sleep ;
In childhood he hath loved holiness, and drank from
that fountain-head of peace ;
Wisdom took him for her scholar, guiding his steps
in pui ity :
He lived unpolluted by the world ; and his young
heart hated sin.
But lie owned not the spurious religion engendered
of faction and moroseness,
Neither were the sprouting® of his soul seared by
the brand of superstition.
llis love is pure and single, sincere, and knoweth
not change :
For his manhood hath been blest with the pleasant
choice of his youth :
Behold his one beloved, she leaneth on his arm,
And he looketh on the years that are past, to review
the dawn of her affection.
Memory is sweet unto him as a perfect landscape to
the sight ;
liaeli object is lovely in itself, but the whole is the
harmony of nature.
Behold his little ones around him, they bask in the
sunshine of his smile ;
And infant innocence and joy lighten their happy
face s;
He is holy and they honor him : he is loving and
they love him:
He is consistent and they esteem him ; he is firm
and they fear him.
Ilis friends are the excellent among men ; and the
hands of their friendship are strong ;
His house is the palace of peace : for the Prince of
Peace is there.
As the wearied man to his couch, as the thoughtful
man to his musings,
Even so, front the bustle of life, he goeth to his well
ordered home.
And though lie often sin, lie returneth with weeping
eyes :
l'or lie feelcth the mercies of forgiveness, and gluvv
eth with warmer gratitude.
Thus did he walk in happiness, and sorrow was a
stranger to his soul ;
The light of affection sunned his heart, the tear of
the grateful bedewed his feet,
He put his hand with constancy to good, and angels
knew him as a brother,
And the busy satellites of evil trembled as at God's
ally :
lie used his wealth as a wise steward, making him
friends for futurity ;
He bent his learning to religion, and religion was
with him at the last:
For I saw him after many days, when the time of
his release was come,
And I longed for a congregated world, to behold that
dying saint:
As the aloe is green and well-liking, till the last
best summer of its age,
And then hangeth out its golden bells to mingle
glory with corruption;
Asa meteor travelleth in splendor, but bursteth in
dazzling light ;
Such was the end of the righteous : his death was
, the sun at his setting.
Book on this mplure of joy and remember that por
trait of sorrow :
Behold the beautv of holiness, behold the de
- ‘
formity of sin ! *
How long, ye sons of men, scorn the words
of wisdom ?
llow long will ye hunt for the caverns
that breed despair ?
Will ye comfort yourselves in misery, by denying
the existence of delight,
And from experience in woe, will ye reason that none
are happy ?
Joy is not in your path, for it loveth not that bleak
broad road,
But its flowers aro hung upou the hedges that liue
a narrower way;
And there the faint travellers of earth may wander
and gather for themselves,
To soothe their wounded hearts with balm from the
amaranths of heaven.

A JORUMOF"“PUNCH.”
MATRIMONIAL BIOLOGY.
This is a famous science, but requires very
great skill to practice it. The husband tries
it upon the wife, or else the wife (for wo
men generally are more clever at “trying it
on”) tries it on the husband. In either case,
it is extremely amusing, and rarely fails of
success. The quiet way in which the person
who is under the influence of the other is
persuaded out of his senses, affords the great
est amusement—amusement not untnixed with
instruction to those who are looking on.
We will illustrate this science with a lew
familiar examples.
Mr. Jones is a highly successful matrimo
nial Biologist. His wife is highly susceptible
-—painfully so. She is extremely weak, and
does everything that Jones bids her to do.
She believes every word be says, and will say
anything that Jones commands her to say.
If Jones tells her to say he'eame home last
night at twelve o’clock, or that the moon is
made of green cheese, or any other likely
improbability, Mrs. Jpnes will say so at once.
No matter how many may be present, the
wonderful control over her smallest actions is
just the same* In fact, if there is a large
company assisting at the matrimonial seance,
the complete submission to thq. husband’s will
is frequently only the more strongly devel
oped.
These* phenomena are hot always pro
duced by the communication of mettle —
though'bf course the exhibition of it on the
husband’s part has its due effect. In truth the
more mettle the husband generally shows, the
quicker the change in his wife’s disposition.
But sometimes a small pressure will work
the jgame change. For instance, Jones is
dressing. He declares his shirt is not pro
perly washed. Mrs. Jones declares it is.
Jones contends it isn’t. Mrs. Jones main
tains it is. This continues for two or three
minutes. At last, Jones rushes to his wife,
seizes her by the wrist, and pressing it rather
tighter than usual, challenges her to look at
him. This is done, when Jones says, still
holding her by the wrist:
“How can you look at me, madam, and
say this shirt is properly washed!”
k There is no reply, hut the eyelids drop, and
■he whole frame slightly quivers. Jones fol-
B£rs up his advantage, and still staving at her
rather scowlingly in the face, shouts loud
enough for the buoy at the Nore to hear him :
“I defy you, madam, to say this shirt is
I properly washed!”
The wife sinks down on a chair, covers
! her face with her hands, and, try as she will,
finds that she cannot say it! The success of
the experiment is complete!
At other times, the two opposite (or rather
opposing) parties are put en rapport by a
pressure upon the foot. We will suppose
they are at dinner. A few friends are invited
ito partake of it. Jones recommends his
“dear Alderman Spoon” to try the venison.
“Venison ! my dear?” exclaimed the simple
wife, “it’s inuttiiig.”
“Perhaps you will tell me next, madam, I
don’t know venison when I see it ?” *
“No, John, dear, you made a mistake, I tell
you. it’s rnuttiiig—l bought it myself.”
“How can you quietly sit there, madam,”
(here he pinches her foot under the table,)
i “and gravely say it’s mutton ? I tell you it’s
; venison, and it’s the finest haunch I’ve seen
| for a long time ; and 1 defy you, madam,”
j (here the pinches upon the foot become har-
I der and harder, until at last there is a slight
j jerk of the body, as if a corn had been touch
j ed,) “yes, I defy you, madam, to say again
j that it is mutton.”
; The knife and fork aro dropped; a cam
! brie handkerchief is raised to the lady’s eyes,
j and an interminable silence of five minutes,
j only relieved by Alderman Spoon’s taking
| snuff’, is the most flattering testimony of the
j complete success of this interesting biological
| experiment.
On the other side, experiments are not al
| ways so successful. Husbands generally are
; not so susceptible as \v ives. T hey require
more delicate treatment. The passes, wheth
! er under the table or not, must he conducted
1 upon a much more gentle footing. Brow-
I beating has no effect whatever, for a husband
! may be told over and over again by his wife to
i “look her in the face,” but it is extremely rare
j to meet with one who has the courage to do
| it, as long as she continues in a passion.
But we have met with some pleasing cases
to the contrary, as, tor example, Mr. Dove is
| a little diminutive man, with scarcely suffi
! cient energy to cry out “Stop!” to an otnni
| bus Mrs. Dove is tall and commanding,
j especially commanding as regards poor
Dove. She can do what she likes with him
| —making him sing, dance, run, fetch and
j carry, just as she pleases. He hasn’t the will
to resist, and, when he has, his will is easily
j conquered by his wife’s “Shall.”
Her system of Biology is very simple. It
consists of a frown lirst, and a pinch after
wards. If he happens to be blind to the one,
he is never insensible to the other. He is
pinched into subjection immediately. In fact,
! the amount of electricity which there is in a
wife’s pinch has never yet been properly
| estimated.
Mrs. Dove’s age is only known by the
family Bible and herself, but she is naturally
anxious to appear as young as possible. For
tins purpose, her daughter’s age is always
lowered some four or live years, in order that
her own may benefit by the fall. Thus she
says :
“Julia is very advanced—you wouldn’t im
agine she was only twelve ?”
“I should think not,” exclaims poor Dove,
“when she will be sixteen next birthday, if
she’s a day.”
“Now, Henry, dear,” and she frowns at
him and then takes hold of his sleeve. “You
know better than that.”
“No, 1 don’t.”
“Yes, you do, dear, you know she’s only
twelve,” (slight pinch.) “in fact, she’s scarce
ly twelve,” (two or three more pinches to si
lence his rising objections;) “come, don’t try
to run away, Henry, but say she’s twelve—
and not sixteen—there’s a dear.”
lleni v says as he is wanted, and would
have said she was only two to get his arm
away.
Mrs. Dove goes to a dinner party (she
tells the people) in a fly, but Henry bluntly
says it was an omnibus, and declares he can
prove it, when suddenly lie recollects (at
a pinch) that it teas a fly.
In the same way he cannot see the beau
ty of a baby that is being handed round for
admiration, and openly says as much, but al!
at once his arm is seen to fly upwards, and
he vows “it’s the sweetest little thing he has
seen for a long time.”
Again, he hates dancing : No, he won’t
dance, not even to please his dear little wifey
—but it is in vain lie’s holding out—lie must
dance —No, he won’t; when he feels several
smart shocks down his elbow—and strange
ly enough, he dances for a whole hour
against his will.
This same absence of Mill is evidenced in
all bis actions. lie holds skeins of silk, with
out being able to stir from the spot; he reads
aloud until he can scarcely see, but for the
life of him daresn’t close the book ; he is drag
ged about all day from shop to shop, and,
much as lie wishes to run homo, his Legs re
fuse to carry him any where but after bis
wife. The Biological influence is complete.
Instances might lie multiplied with a tedi
ous facility, but we think we have adduced
sufficient to prove the magical control the
httlband sometimes exercises over the actions,
movements, and almost thoughts of his wife,
making her repeatedly say and do the very
opposite of what she intended ; and the ab
solute command which the wife occasional
ly gains over her husband, making him a pas
sive instrument in her hands, to turn or twist
to any purpose she pleases.
Some very entertaining experiments are
frequently made by placing in the palm of the
wife’s hand a piece of metal, not unlike a
sovereign. On such occasions, the wildest
’ exhibitions will take place, the patient being
suddenly moved to tears, or frantic joy,
according to the prevailing humor she may
bein; but such experiments are extremely
dangerous, for it is always an operation of
the utmost nicety, if not of the greatest im
possibility, to get the sovereign out of the
wife’s hand when once the husband has parted
with it.
“Hang Piekce, too, Colonel!”— Col.
Jeff. Davis recently made a political speech
before the Granite Club of Memphis. As
the report goes, he first pitched into Gen.
Scott, and then alluded to Mr. Graham in
this wise: “He believed Mr. Graham was a
gentleman of unimpeachable honor. He
could say nothing against him, except that
he was found in very bad company. Though
Mr. G. had held several prominent stations,
yet no act of his had ever attracted his ob
servation so as to make any marked impres
sion ; and he would say of him as Johnni*
Brown said of his dog, when asked why he
was going to hang him, that “he had never
done anything ! Yes, said John, that is the
reason lam going to hang him.” Here the
orator is said to have made one of those
empathic pauses indicative that a proper re
sponse is desired from the audience. The
response was not delayed. A tall hunter, from
: Tippah, instantly exclaimed : “Hang Pierce,
too, Colonel!” The pith and pertinency of
the reply convulsed the crowd and confound
ed the speaker.— Flag of the Union.

O* Luther, when studying, always had his
dog lying at his feet—a dog he had brought
from Wartburg, and of which he was very
fond. An ivory crucifix stood on the table
before him, and the walls of his study were
stuck round with caricatures of the pope. He
worked at his desk for days together without
going out; but when fatigued, and the ideas
began to stagnate in his brain, he would take
his flute or his guitar with him into the porch,
and there execute some musical fantasy, (for
he was a skillful musician,) when the ideas
would flow upon him as fresh as flowers after
a summer’s rain. Music was his invariable
solace at such times. Indeed, Luther did not
hesitate to sav, that after theology, music was
the first of arts. “Music,” said he, “is the
art of the prophets; it is the only other art,
which, like theology, can calm the agitation
of the soul, and put the devil to flight.” Next
to music, if not before it, Luther loved chil
dren and flowers. That great, gnarled man
had a heart as tender as a woman’s.
O’ Lord Eldon’s Father. —After the
death of ins first lady, he rose one morning
whli the whimsical resolution of marrying
any one of his maids mlio should first appear
on his ringing the bell. He rang, and the
chambermaid came up, to whom he abruptly
said: “Get yourself ready, and go with tne
to be married.” The silly girl, treating the
affair as a joke, refused, and withdrew. He
rang the hell a second time, when the cook
maid appeared, to whom he said: “Well,
my girl, 1 intend this day to make you mv
wife; go and dress yourself in the best you
have, and order the coach to be ready imme
diately.” She took him at his word, dressed
herself, and, coming down stairs, M as met by
the silly chambermaid, who asked her where
she was going ? She answered : “Abroad;
l have mv master’s leave.” She had scarce
uttered these words, when her master came
doMTi, and took her by the hand to the coach,
M’hieh drove to St. Benet’s Church, where
they Mere married.— Lives of the Chan

CO"* Tiie Three Candidates. —The

applied to the other day to know how the
Presidential election was going in that State
—who was tiie foremost man in Kentucky ?
Said Hans, in reply : “Dere is tree candidates

O’ A party of stout countrymen were
playing a game of cudgels in the north of
England, when a spectator gravely observed,
“the rustic amusement of cudgel playing
should be abolished, as it affects the security

(f3~ “Has a man,” asked a prisoner of a
magistrate, “a right to commit a nuisance ?”
“No, sir, not even the mayor.” “Then, sir,

me, l move for a non-suit.”
OdT French and English Politeness.—
An Englishman and a Frenchman were trav
elling by railroad, v They were alone in the
same car. The Frenchman, always polite,
asked permission to smoke; his companion
made no reply, drew a cigar from his pocket
and smoked also.
At the first station :
“Sir,” said the Frenchman, “your cravat
is awry.”
T’he Englishman very silently arranged
his cravat.
A little further
“Sir,” said the Frenchman, “your cap is
falling oft’.”
The Englishman, without saying “thank
you,” secured his cap.
A few moments after:
“Ah, sir,” cried the Frenchman, “take
care; the hot ashes have fallen on your col
lar ; they will burn your coat.”
“Well, sir, let me alone,” replied the Eng
lishman, “you have been burning this half
hour, and I didn’t bother you about it.”
O’ Hard to Surpass.— One of the best
conundrums we have ever seen is the follow
ing of Edgar Poe’s : “Why will a Geolo
gist put no faith in the fable of the fox that
lost his tail ? Because he knows that no ‘ani
mal remains’ have ever been found in trap.”
O’ Why is a man who becomes a rascal in
his old age, like a candle that won’t shine ?
Because he doesn’t sin-till-late.
O’ A “fast” urchin at the Boston Latin
School, M’hile translating a passage in
Cicero, the other day, astounded his teach
ers by rendering plane bene “plain beans. ’ —
The same youth, at another time, coming up
on the pasage, plura clam removebat, stopped
a moment and scratched his head, as if puz
zled to give the meaning; then suddenly
brightening up, translated the passage, “He
carried off more clams !” The Usher stood
aghast. That hoy’s ideas evidently ran upon
creature comforts, and he Mas a large pa

TO THE LABORING CLASSES!
FEOPO S A L S
FOR PUBLISHING THE
AMERICAN FARMER AND MECHANIC,
A Weekly Paper, to be Devoted to the
Industrial Interests of the South.
HOW are the great industrial interests of the South
to be promoted ? What more feasible plan than
the establishment of a Journal, devoted to their general
development and support? For the accomplishment of
this object—the development and promotion ot those
ends—tne subscriber proposes publishing in the city of
this State furnishing the largest subscription, a paper de
voted to the interests of the Laboring Class, in every
sense of that term.
In keeping with the object as intimated above, its aim
will be to elevate the true artisan to that dignity of sta
tion so justly due those who, to so large an extent, give
character to a nation ; and who, by their numerical force,
if in no other way, govern the allairs of every enlight
ened people.
And ir. attempting this, it shall be done, with a free
dom from that prejudice existing to such an extent
amongst those to whose affairs we thus intend devoting
our time and energies. We wish it done by a home ed
ucation—a general enlightenment, that banishes blind
prejudice, and makes room for that enlarged charity
which forbids envy, and delights in protecting each his
neighbor in the enjoyment of all lawful rights of prop
erty or station. An,education that teaches indepen
dence of thought and action —that enables one to feel
and act the freeman. vVe wish, in a word, to bring into
existence a paper which shall only prove a benefit to the
laborer, whether the scene of his operations is in the field
or the work-shop, and shall injure no one.
We are aware of the fact that the American Me
chanic. published for mechanics, proved a failure. This
resulted from more than one cause. Firstly and main
ly, because of a want of effort amongst those for whom
it labored! Secondly, because in its general tone, it
exhibited too little sympathy for the interests of the
slaveholder. This, however, was more the spirit of its
correspondents than its editor, thomrh he, unfortunately,
solely, had to shoulder the failure, its cause, its loss. —
Lastly, the paper, though larger than its patronage
would warrant, was too small; an objection arising
from the fact, that ono containing four times the matter
could be had at the same price. We mention, though
wo shall not now discuss, these matters.
Though many do so, we cannot conclude, because of
one failure, there must be another; no, we cannot be
lieve the people, in their knowledge of the necessity, will
not welcome, CHEER the. stranger, by a general invi
tation to their fire-sides. Indeed, will not every one who
respects honest labor, become, at once, a gjSp’ Sub
scriber and an Agent !
We present this one plea as a necessity for the Far
mer and Mechanic , and leave it with those most inter
ested, to show by their acts, whether they shall have a
paper to advocate their cause when necessary, a friend
to cheer them in their honorable position, or whether
their interests shall still suffer, as heretofore. That plea
is this: What would be the condition of Christianity, had
it not its various publications? Where would be the
Political Parties without theirs? Indeed, how much
would any and erery interest suffer did we not continu
ally hear their good parts recited hv that voice which
spoke into existence and still upholds our freedom—that
has to be stilled while empires totter and tremble to their
foundation! And what mighty voice is this ? ’Tisthe
voice of the Press ! Engage it in your favor, laboring
ones, and you have a lever strong enough to bear you
far above the scoffs of pride, or evils of poverty.

DE BOW’S REVIEW.
INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES AND PROGRESS
OX’ THE
SOUTHERN & WESTERN STATES.
In three Large ami Closely Printed Volumes,
Small Type, Double Columns; Hand
some Print, Paper and Binding.
DESIROUS of supplying the large and continually
increasing demand lor the complete series of the Re
view, in 12 volumes, now exhausted, and which it would
require a very large outlay to reprint, the editor has
been induced to make a selection ol all the important
and valuable papers contained in them from the begin
ning, condensing, re-arranging and completing to date,
arid thro wing the subjects, after the manner of the ency
clopedias, into alphabetical order. In this manner ev
erything of interest and importance, will be preserved
in a convenient form for reference; and the volumes
will constitute the only repository for the shelves ot the
library, of such information, which by means ot the
monthly numbers hereafter will always be brought
down to date.
The volumes will embrace the gist of everything that
has appeared in the Review relating to the Southern
and Western States, (an imperfect index of which will
be found at the open irig of the l |; th volume.)
To wit: Their History, Population,Geography, Sta
tistics ; Agricultural Products of Cotton, Sugar, To
bacco, Hemp, grains. Naval stores, etc.,etc. Manufac
tures, detailed accounts, statistics and history ot all
branches. Internal Improvements ; complete statistics
of railroads, results, profits, expenses, costs, advantages,
miles in projection, construction, completed, etc.; plank
roads,canalsnavigation,etc. Statistics ot Health and Di
seases, wealth and progress; relative condition whites and
blacks ; Slave lawsandatatistics, management and ame
lioration of slavery—origin, history, arid defences ot sla
very and slave institutions ; the valuable treatises of Har
per, Hammond. Drew, on slavery, etc. Commerce of the
South and West in all its nspnute particulars, etc., to
gether with an historical and statistical sketch ol eaeh
of the States and cities—the domestic arid foreign trade,
resources, manufactures, etc. ot the United States- —the
cen“us returns from 1790, with the complete statistics ot
the census of 1850.
As not one in twenty of our present subscribers we
believe have taken the work Irom the beginning, or
have preserved the numbers regularly, this edition is re
commended to them, and the volumes herealter will be
bound uniformly with it. And the same care is taken ;
now to print an’edition of the monthly numbers so large
that a reprint or condensation can never be required
again. .
“An appeal is made to all the subscribers of the Review
to sustain this truly southern enterprise, and sustain us
in the efforts we have been making for six years, almost
unaided arid alone, in this field.
The terms will be 810 for 3 volumes, payable
on delivery of the second, with the privilege to anv one
who may not be pleased to return the first on the re
ceipt of it. Where the payment is by order on a mer
chant in a Southern City, and the order below is sent,
it will not be called for until the delivery of three vol
unit sto the said merchant. Should, however, any c-ub- j
scriber having confidence in the established character j
and reputation of the Rcriew, think fit to enclose the
¥lO on receipt of this circular, it will tend to facilitate
us in the large expenditure we are involving. \V e are
not asking such prepayments, however, unless volunta
rily made.

For the llemoval and permanent Care of all
diseases arising from an Impure
State of the blood, or habit
of the system.
The value of this Medicine is now widely known,
and every day the field of its usefulness is extended.—
It is approved, and highly recommended by Physicians,
and admitted to be the most powerful and searching
preparation from the root, that has ever been employed
in medical practice. Its operation extends to the remo
test parts of the system, and consists in removing dis
eased action in the absorbing and secreting organs. In
man, Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure of any
virulent disease, but requires the aid of a stimulant, al
terative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases of the skin
and flesh, a combination of these three classes of me
dicinal agents is highly desirable. All these properties
are combined in this preparation ; and instead of op
erating successively upon the system, as they must nec
essarily do when taken separately,they operate simulta
neously and in perfect harmony when administered in
this form. Its tonic property strengthens the digestion,
and improves the appetite. Its alterative tendency car
ries off the accumulations of morbid matter, and its an
tiseptic influence neutralizes the virus, by which the dis
ease is fostered. Its uniform success in curing aud re
lieving the various diseases for which it is recommen
ded, is established by a multitude of attested facts.
Cure of Bronchitis or Ministers’ Sore
Throat.
Fair Haven, Mas?., Aug. 22, 1850.
Messrs. Sands. —I regard it hut justice to yourselves,
and humanity to all similarly afflicted, to say that your
Sarsaparilla has cured me of the Chronic Laryngitis.
It would he. difficult for me to describe the alarming
condition of my throat and vocal organs previous to
the use of your invaluable remedy. During nearly
three years I was forced to desist from the public duties
of my profession ; and having made use of a great va
riety of professed specifies, besides submitting to more
than thirty extremely painful caustic applications, I had
abandoned all hope of relief, when, as a dernier resort,
I was led to the trial of your Sarsaparilla.
My disease was ol so long standing, and had so obsti
nately resisted the best medical skill, that I am conscious
it cannot truly be said, my “faith hath saved me,” for I
had none ; but I trust I feel in some appropriate degree
grateful for the favorable result above named. I have
now been able to attend to the duties of the pastorate
for more than, a year, and having proved from actual
experiment the thoroughness of the cure, I could not
feel justified in longer withholding this statement.
1 am accustomed to keep a|boltle of your Sarsaparilla
at hand, and w henever exposed to colds or extra labor,
stiii use it as a preventive. Very gratefully yours,
S. C. BROWN, Pastor of Centre st.
M. E. Church.
From the State of Maine.
The attention of the reader is called to the following
certificate of a remarkable cure effected by using only
five bottles of Sands’ Sarsaparilla.
Sidney, (Maine,) April 15, 1850.
Messrs. A. B. &. D. Sands :
Gentlemen —This, is to certify that I have been af
flicted more or less ever since my birth, with scrofula,
which continued to increase until last February. In
January, my legs were so swollen I could not get on a
hoot or a stocking, and I had several large sores on me
all the time. In this situation, I was about to give up
in despair, when I was advised to try Sands’ Sarsapa
rilla. 1 had not much faith in it, but I sent to your
agents in Augusta, Me., and procured a bottle, which
did me so much good, that I sent and got another, and
continued until I had taken five bottles. lam now’ per
fectly well. If any person who may read this letter is
afflicted with any disease of Scrofula I would most
sincerely recommend and advise them to make use of
Sands’ Sarsaparilla. If any person wishes further in
j formation about iny case, by calling upon me, I can
convince them of the healing power of this medicine.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS
AND TUB
FAR M E R’S GUIDE.
LEONARD SCOTT & CO.,
No. 154 Gold street, New York,
CONTINUE to publish the four leading British
Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood’s Magazine;
in addition to which they have recently commenced the
publication of a valuable Agricultural work, called the
“FARMER’S GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND
PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE,”
By Henry Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author of
the “Book of the Farm,” &c. &c.; assisted by John
P. Norton, .VI. A., New Haven, Prolessor of Scientific
Agriculture in Yale College, &c., &e.
‘Phis highly valuable work will comprise tw’o large
royal octavo volumes, containing over 1400 pages, with
18 or 20 splendid steel engravings, and more than 600
engravings on wood, in the highest style of the art; illus
trating almost every implement of husbandry now in use
by the best farmers, the best methods of plowing, plant
ing, haying, harvesting, &c. &c , the various domestic an
imals in their highest perfection ; in short, the pictorial
features of the book is unique, and will render it of in
calculable valuable to the student of agriculture.
The work is being published in Semi-monthly Num
bers, of 64 pages each, exclusive of the Steel engra
vings, and when not taken in connection with the Re
views or Blackwood, is sold at 25 cents each, or §5 for
ihe entile work in numbers, of which there will be at
least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals Re-published are as follows,
viz:
The London Quarterly Rerieie. (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig),
The North British Review, (Free-Cfturc
The Westminster Review, (Liberal), and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the politi
cal shades above indicated, vet but a small portion ot their j
contents is devoted to political subjects. It is their lite
rary character which gives them their chief value, and in j
that they stand confessedly far above all other journals i
of their class. Blackwood, still under the masterly gui- |
dance of Christopher North, maintains its ancient cele- j
brity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer, and other literary notables, writ
ten for that magazine, and first appearing in it? columns
both in Great Bril lih and in the United States. Such
works as “Caxtons” and“Mv New Novel,” (both by
Bulwer), “My peninsular Medal,” “The Green Hand.” i
and other serials, of which numerous rival editions are ;
issued by the leading publishers in this country, have to i
be re-printed by those publishers from the pages ot Black
wood, after it has been issued by the Messrs. Scott &
Cos., so that subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading oi these
fascinating taies.
