Thu following notices of the work are among a
number of the same import, which have been receiv
ed from abroad, and show the general estimation in
which it is held.
“ Among the periodical publications of our coun
try, this may justly be termed one of the cheapest on
and best; and for neatness and beauty, it is not sur
passed by any work issued from the American press.
It is made up of original and selected matter, such
as biographical sketches of distinguished individuals;
interesting tales; literary notices; sketches of socie
ty and manners, anecdotes, poetry, &c. being truly
what its name indicates, “Flowers of/Literature,
YVii and Sentiment.” The elegant engravings with
which each number will be embellished, will add
much to its value, and will be an additional induce
ment with the lovers of the fine arts, to patronize
this splendid miscellany.—Johnstown, N. Y. Herald,

Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof
fin, now resident in Ncwbnryport, Mass, address
ed to the l'ditors.of the “ Casket," and “ Saturday
Evening Post."
Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer of your excel
lent publication, the “ Casket," I assure you, meets
from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial
reception: the plates alone, at the close of a year,
would be worth the trifiinu expense of the subscrip
ts n; those representing the Capitol, at Harrisburg,
Fa, and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. arc hand
somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work;
in truth, I ani free to say, that there is not within
tire compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so
well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid
spirits as the “ Casketthe matter is diversified and
useful—so much so, that there must always be found
something to please the literary taste of every one,
who can be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may
think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am
only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for
the* gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with
sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will
readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen
tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN.
The demand for the Casket already ha3 been such
as. to compel the publishers to re-print a large edition
of the two first numbers, the first edition haying been
nearly disposed of—and as it will be impossible for
them again to replace future numbers should they
tun i out, it is respectfully suggested to persons who
wish to possess a copy of the work that they send
in their names immediately.
Posl-roasters and publishers of papers who will
interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and
be responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled
to every sixth copy gratis.

accompanied by one year’s subscription in advance,

MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS.
Love in Turcomania.—“ The women of
the Turcomans, who are, in general, fair,
ruddy, and handsome, neither disfigure them
selves by blue stains, nor veil themselves
after the manner of the Arabs. The jeal
ousy of foe men, regarding their honour, is
however, still stronger. Mr. Maseyk, who
it should be added, is a Dutch merchant of
the highest respectability, and has resided
at Aleppo for forty years, and made jour
neys through every part of the surrounding
country, told me an instance in proof of this,
which I should scarcely have believed, if I
had not heard it from his own mouth.
“ Two young persons of the same tribe
loved each other, and were betrothed in
marriage : their passion was open and a-
vowed, and known to all their friends, who
had consented to their union, and even fix-
eti the period for its celebration. It hap
pened, one-evening, that they met, acciden
tally, alone, but- in sight of all the -tents:
they stopped a' moment to speak to each
other; and were on foe point af passing on,
when foe brothers of the girl perceiving it,
rushed out, with arms in their heads, to a-
venge their disgrace. The young man took
to flight, and escaped with a musket wound
but foe poor girl received five oalls in her
The Pampas, or Plains of S. America.—
There was published in London last year
a volume entitled “ Rough Notes taken du
ring some rapid journies across the Pampas
and among the Andes.” This work con
tains many interesting particulars regarding
those extensive regions hitherto but seldom
travelled and consequently little known. It
is reviewed in foe London Magazine, and
from that review we extract the following:—
JV. H. Gaz.
The Pampas are extensive plains, which
spread from the Rio de. la Plata to the
Andes—they are productive chiefly of long
grass and thistles; roads are scarcely track
ed through them; in some parts they are
marsh, in some bog, in some loose sand.
Inhabitants are thinly scattered over this
vast and almost interminable extent of level
terjitory; such property as they have, is in
droves of wild horses and other cattle; po
verty is much more common than property;
hut with a horse and a lasso, and a pair of
spurs, foe galloping £raucho, which is the
name of the dweller in the Pampas, never
knows, or at least never regards privation.
His food is strips of jerked beef, his drink
is water; his pleasure is galloping, and his
pursuit either catching horses and bullocks
in his lasso t or throwing the bolas at foe
guanaco, or the ostrich. During the hours
of exertion he is on horse,- no fatigue can
touch him; during fhe hours of repose he
lays himself down in the open air, and sleeps
all night with no covering but his poncho (or
cloak,) and with no bedding but his saddle, ,
or the skeleton of a kerse’s head for a pil
low. His life is hard, but so is he; priva
tions are his daily fare. His luxury is free
dom. He lives the life of perfect liberty—
restriction of any kind, excepting the natural
ones of fatigue and labour, seems unknown
in the Pampas. The Gaucho is as happy,
and pretty nearly as uncivilized, as when
“ wild in woods the noble savage run.”
The Pampas, as has been said, spread from
the Atlantic, ana are stopped in their course
to foe Pacific, by the Cordilleras of fhe An- ’
des, which runs down the continent of South
America, pretty much after the manner of~.
the chiue in pigs, and the spine-in man;
excepting, indeed, that it is a good deal on
one side, being much nearer to foe Pacific
foan the Atlantic. Neither does the coun
try on the other side of the Andes, in foe
least correspond with the Pampas, as ribs
correspond to ribs. On the Pacific side
extend perpetually to the ocean innumerable
ramifications of foe mountains, which con
sequently dissect the country of Chile into
alternations of lofty hill and deep valley.
Both side? of the Andes—both- the Pampas ,
and Chile axe the scenes qf Captain Head’s
