The 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 tiie periodical publications of our coun
try, this may justly be termed one of the cheapest
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 taler,; literary notices; sketches of socie
ty and manners, anecdotes, poetry, &c. being truly
what its name indicates, 44 Flowers of Literature,
Wit and Sentiment.” The elegant engravings with
which each number will be embellished, will add
much to its valm, and will be an additional induce
ment with tiie lovers of the fine arts, to patronize
this splendid miscellany.—Johnstown, N. Y. Herald.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Stevenson Cof-
,'t, now resident in Ncwburyport, Mass, address
ed to the Editors^of the “ Casket," and 44 Saturday
Evening Post. ,,
Gentlemen,—The gratuitous offer o; your excel
lent publication, the 44 CasketI 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 Harrisburg,
Pa. and the Falls of the Passaic, N. J. are hand
somely executed, anu add intrinsic value to the work;
j in truth, I am free to say, that there is not within
ihe 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 mnst always be found
something to please the literary taste of every one,
who tan be pleased at all. Perhaps, some folks may
think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am
* only oaying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for
the gift of the paper—but it is not true; 1 speak with
sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will
readily allow that mv remarks are just.—I am, gen
tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S. COFFIN.
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
s them again to replace future numbers should they
tun out, it is respectfully suggested to persons who
wish to possess a copy of the work that they send
in their names immediately.
Post-masters and publishers of papers who will
interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and
ha responsible for the subscription, shall be entitled
to every sixth copy gratis.
tCJ*’ All orders for the work, must be post paid,
accompanied by one year’s subscription in advance,

ten years, have been accumulating in different parts
of the state, offers the establishment of the Georgia

proved purchaser.—To an industrious and intelligent
gentleman, who knows how to shape his politics to
the circumstances of the times, thi3 establishment

before him is the ostrich he is pursuing, the
distance between them gradually diminish
ing—his neck stretched out, and striding
over the ground in the most magnificent
style—but the latter is soon lost in the dis
tance, and the Gaucho’s horse is often be
low the horizon, while his head shows that
the chase is not yet decided. This pursuit
is really attended with considerable danger,
for the ground is always undermined by the
biscachos, and the Gaueho often falls at full
speed ; if he breaks a limb his horse proba
bly gallops away, and there he is left in the
long grass, until one of his 'comrades or
children come to his assistance; but if they
are unsuccessful in their search, he has
nothing left but to look up to heaven, and
while he lives, drive from his bed the wild
eagles, who are always ready to attack any
fallen animal.”

“ As the carriage was many hours behind
me, I rode immediately to the corral, and
soon made friends with the Gauchos, who
are always polite, and on horseback possess
many estimable qualities, which at the door
of their hut they appear to be devoid of. The
corral was quite full of hojrses, most of which
were young ones, about three and four years
old.—The capataz, mounted on a strong
steady horse, rode into the corral, and threw
his lasso over the neck of a young horse,
and'dragged him to the gate. For some
time he was very unwilling to leave his com
rades, but the moment he was forced out of
the corral, his first idea was to gallop away;
however, the jerk of the lasso checked him
in a most effectual manner. The peons
now ran after him on foot, and threw the
lasso over his fore legs, just above the fet
locks, and, twitching it, they pulled his^gs
from under him so suddenly, that^ really ,
thought the fall he got had kiWed him. In
an instant a Gaueho was seated upon his
head, and with his Wng knife in a few
seconds he cut office whole of the horse's
mane, while ap^her ent the hair from the
