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.

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.

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 observations. He commences af Buenos Ayres; we'ehall follow him, and make a se lection of his most amusing or characteristic passage?; „ ’ There is a very interesting and welt writ ten description of the Pampas* of which w®
