The following notices of the work are among a
number of the sam e import, which have been receiv
ed front abroad, and show the general estimation in
which it ueld. /
“ Among the periodical publications of our ' oun-
^ try, this may justly be termed one of the chJap'St
and best; and for neatness and beauty, it is riot sur
passed by any work issued from the American press.
It is made up of original and selected matter, such
as biographical sketches of distinguishedjndividuals;
interesting tales; literary notices, sketches of socie
ty and manners, -anecdotes, poetryJf^c. bring truly
what its name indicates, “Flow/rsof I.itetatnre,
Wit and Sentiment.” The elegant engravings with
which each number will be embellished, wili 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. F. Herald.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof
fin, now resident in Ncwburyport, Mass, address
ed to the Editors 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 trifling expense of the subscrip
tion; those representing the Capitol, at Harrishuig,
Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand
somely executed, and add intrinsic value to the work;
in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within
the compass of my knowledge, a work of the kind so
well calculated to cheer the oppressed and languid
spirits as the “ Casket;” the 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
tho 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,

property, to wit:
Sixty-six Acres of Land, more or less

One Hundred Two and a Half Acres

adjoining Maxey arid others: levied on as the pro

The demand for the Casket already has been such
as to compel the publishers to re-print a large edition
of the two first numbers, the first edition having been
nearly disposed of—and as it will be impossible for
them again to replace future numbers should tho'y
run out, it is respectfully suggested to persons who
wish to possess a copy of the work that they send
in their names immediately.

interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and
he responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled
te every sixth copy gratis.

T HE Editor of the Georgia Patriot, being desi
rous to bring his affairs to & dose, and collect
in his numerous debts, which, during a business of
ten years, have been accumulating in different parts
of the state, offers the establishment of the Georgia
Patriot for sale, on accommodating terms, to an ap
proved purchaser.—To an industrious and intelligent
gentleman, who knows how to shape his politics to
the circumstances of the times, this establishment
offers very great advantages. During the last two
years there have been from 1509 to 2000 papers cir
culated weekly from the office, and it is probable
that there may be a continuation of the latter num
ber of responsible subscribers. The advertising pa

to explain to him the luxuries and blessings

ed, and his poncho thrown over his left
shoulder like a Spanish cloak; his hut is in
holes, and would evidently be made more
comfortable by a few hours’ labour: in a
beautiful climate, he is without fruit dr vege
tables; surrounded by cattle, he is often
without milk; he lives without bread, and
he has no food but beef and water, and
therefore those who contrast his life witfi
that of the English peasant accuse him of
indolence ; but the comparison is inapplica
ble, and the accusation unjust; and any one
who will live^with the Gaucho, and will
follow him through hig exertions, will find
that he is any thing but indolent, and his
surprise will be that he is able to continue a
life of such fatigue. It is *rue that the
Gaucho has no luxuries, but the great fea
ture of his character is, that he is a person
without wants: accustomed constantly to '
live_ in the open air, and to sleep on the
ground, he does not consider that a few
holes in his hut deprive it of its comfort. It
is not that he does not like the taste of milk ;
but he prefers being without it to the every
day occupation of going id search of it.
He might, it is true, make cheese, and sell
it for money, but if he has got a good saddle
and good spurs, he does uot consider that
money has much Value : in fact he is con
tented with his lot; and when one reflects
that, in the increasing series of human luxu
ries, there is no point that produces con
tentment, one cannot but feel that there is
perhaps as much philosophy as folly in the
Gauchcrs determination to exast without
wants; and the life he leads is certainly
more noble than JjT ISteilas slaying from
