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,
Wit 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 'overs of the fine arts, to patronize
this splendid miscellany.—Johnstown, A". Y. 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 “ CasketI assure you, ftieets
from your sick and suffering friend with a cordial
reception: the plates alone, at the cloBe 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, and add intrinsic value to the work;
in truth, 1 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"
the gift of the paper—but it is not tiue; 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 has been such
levied on as the property of A. Silvey to satisfy sun-
dry-fi. fa’s, issued from a Magistrate’s court in favour
of Richard Hughes, vs. R. A; McRee and A. Silvey.
Property pointed out by A. Silvey. Levied and re

Le Comte, in h’^ description of China',
gives the following account of a circum
stance which happened to himself;—‘When
1 was a missionary at Pekin, I once called-
to baptize a man seventy years old. who
lived upon a little pension which the Empe
ror bestowed upon him. When I came to
him, he said, * I am much obliged to you. for
you will deliver me from a great punishment.*
I replied this is not aH, baptism not only de

happy life.’ ‘ l do not understand you,’ said
the sick man; * and perhaps I have not ex

that I have for some time lived upon the
Emperor’s bounty, and our bonzes, who -qre
well instructed concerning what happens in
the other world, have assured me, that I
shall he obliged, out of gratitude, to serve
the Emperor after my decease ; and that
my soul jwill undoubtedly animate a post
horse, to bring the posts to Court out of the
provinces. They exhort me, therefore,
when 1 shall have assumed my new form,
to do my duty well and take care not 4b
snoft, nor to kick, nor to hurt any one^— *
They further exhort me to trot well, \a eat
sparingly, and to be patient, in order te
move the compassion of the gods, \yho of*

ing and make a great lord of him. I own.
this thought makes me shudder, and 7 can
not think of it without trembling; every
night I dream of it, and sometimes when I
am asleep I think I am saddled, and already
start at the* first lash of the rider’s whip.
After this I awake in great trouble and'apxi-
ety, uncertain whether I am a man or a horsjfK
But, alas, what will become of me, when t
am to he a horse in reality ! I have, there
fore, taken this resolution. It is said that^
those of your religion are not exposed
this misfortune, but. that with you mpn ra-
