To the Public—As there are many Gift
Book stores advertised throughout the country, Mr.
EVANS deems it just to himself and his duty to the
public—inasmuch as he originated the Gift-book busi
ness—to state ns evidence of the instability of niuny of
such concerns, that they conceal their real names from
the public and are advertising their business, under
assumed ones. Mr. E., is a ware that these various con
cerns published as Gift-Book stores, are calculated to
briug the business established by himself into disrepute.
He asksof the public a correct Judgement in regard to
his Gilt Book enterprise; for the honor, integrity, and
success, of which he refers to all the proniiuent pub
lishers in the United States. Head his catalogue.

Endurance.
’Tis bitter to endure the wrong
Which evil hands and tongues commit.
The bold encroachments of the strong,
The shafts of calumny and wit,
The scornful bearing of the proud.
The sneers and laughter of the crowd.
And harder still it is to bear
The censure of the good and wise.
Who ignorant of what you are,
Or blinded by the slander’s lies,
Look coldly on, or pass you by.
In silence, with averted eye.
But when the friends in whom you trust.
As steadfast as the mountain rock,
Fly, and are scattered like the dust,
Before misfortune's whirlwind shock,
Nor love remains to cheer your fall,
This is more terrible than all.
But even this, and these—ay more.
Can be endured and hope survive;
The noble spirit still may soar.
Although the body fail to thrive;
Disease and want may wear the frame
Thank God! the soul is ftill the same.
Hold up your head, then man of grief,
Nor longer to the tempest bend,
For soon or late must come relief—
The coldest, darkest night will end;
Hope in the true heart never dies!
Trust on—the day-star yet shall rise.
Conscious of purity and worth,
You may with calm assurance wait.
The tardy recompense of earth;
And e’en should justice come too late,
To soothe the spirit’s homeward flight,
Still heaven, at last, the wrong shall right.
Good-night and Pleasant Dreams.
When on its couch of rosy clouds
The burning sun has sunk to rest.
And tired of song, the woodland bird
Is sleeping in its qniet nest—
W hen evening lays its misty band
On dewy ttow’vsand prattling streams—
How sweet to hear from lips we love,
Good-night! good-night; and pleasant dreams.
Hoiv sweet to bear from lips we love,
Good night, good-night, and pleasant dreams.
O! bitter is the exile's fate,
Who wanders from his peaceful cot;
No gentle wish, or soothing word,
Can mingle in his lonely lot.
On some still bank of moss and flow’rs
Beneath the star's inconstant beams,
How sweet to hear from lips we love.
Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams.
How sweet to hear from lips we love,
Good-night, good-night and pleasant) dreams.
Silence.
From a volume just published in London, of
very pleasing poetry, entitled "The Rivulet: *
Contribution to Sacred Song,” by Thomas T
Lynch.
In silence mighty tilings are wrought—
Silently budded, thought on thought,
Truth’s temple greets the sky;
And. like a citadel with towers,
The soul, with her subservent powers,
Is strengthen’d silently.
Soundless as chariots on the snow.
The saplings of the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth;
Each nightly star in silence burns,
And every day in silence turns
The axle ofthe earth.
The silent frost, with mighty hand,
Fetters the river and the land
With universal chain;
And smitten, by the silent snn,
The chain is loosed, the rivers run,
The land are free again.
A Correspondent of the Educational
Journal thus alludes to one of the great
est evils of the day. His remarks are
characterized by sound, practical sense
and we give them our full endorsement:
While I have no objection to High
Schools, Colleges and an Education, I do
not believe that it is necessary to graduate
all of our sons. We need men to till the
earth—practical men. Whilst many good
old fathers are moving Heaven and earth
to educate their sons to give them position
sending them off to College, moving to
towns and cities for that purpose, and in
curring heavy expenses and labor; take
care, take care, that you do not sow the
wind and reap the whirlwind. Take care
that yon do not feel, whether you express
it or not, like the weeping Prophet over
incorrigable Israel, “O, that my head
were water and mine eyes a fountain of
tears, that I might weep day and night”
over the indiscretion and dissipation of iny
sons. Many of those sous would be valti-
ble at home at work, redeeming those old
and dismal looking fields from the sedge
grass, pine hushes, briers and gullies.—
Such employment would be well calcu
lated to neutralize their ardor, take off the
wire edge, promote mind health and con
tribute much to the sum total of the wealth
anp greatness of the country, and make of
them valuable members of society.
Industry is Talent.—We often hear
persons explaining how one man fails in
business, while another meets with success
in the same pursuit, attributing to one tal
ent for his business, but refusing it to the
other.
Yes, without denying that some indi
viduals have talent, we think that the
problem in question can be easily solved
by saying that the successful man was in
dustrious, while the other was not. Bul-
wer, for example, is considered a man of
the highest abilities as a novelist. Yet
when Bulwer began his career, he com
posed with the utmost difficulty, often
writing his fictions over twice. He persver-
ed however, and now staudsat the head of
his class—his latest productions moreover
being regarded as the. best from his pen.—
Every schoolboy is familiar with the fact
that Demosthenes became an orator only
by pursuiug a similar plan. Nor are il
lustrations of the great truth, that indus
try is talent, confined to the highest intel
lectual pursuits. hen Girard trusted
the customer without an endorser, who
carried his goods home on his shoulder,
the shrewd old Erenchnian was acting on
this truth, deduced from his own expe
rience of mankind. All eminent persons
whether mechanics, lawyers or statesmen,
were industrious, from Watt and Norris
down to Thurlow and Win. Pitt. Wash
ington, Franklin, Marshall, Madison, and
every other distinguished American, were
busy men. Industry is talent, nine times
out of ten.

It is no easy task for a woman to make
such a confession; but paper is patieut; you

no one beside you. I look upon you as
my guardian angel, and will only live
under your laws. If you are free, I will
be yours for life. I am twenty-two years

A Strange Story.
The Fakir Buried and Yet Diving.
There is a man, a very strange man,
among the Sikhs of India, a Fakir or Fa-
queer too, one who gains his livelihood by
putting on the appearance of death, and
suffering himself to be buried for three,
six, or twelve months, according to the
agreement and compact he enters into with
his employers. This man, far from being
misdoubted in those parts, or being treat
ed as a mountebank, is held in extraordin
ary respect and veneration by tlie Sikh
people. The stories that are told of this
man are truly wonderful, and try to sift
the matter how you will, the marvel only
increases. Both natives and Europeans
are alike perplexed; every one in the
East has heard of his extraordinary pow
ers ; every means that the skeptical could
employ has beeu tried to detect tlie im
posture which has been suspected; but
still bis credit remains unshaken to the last.
One of those who have witnessed his prodi-
gous feat, is Captain Wade, the political
agent at Loodianah, who stood by wheu
lie was disinterred after a burial of ten
consecutive months, and his body seemed
then, as it had seemed at first, to he in a
state of suspended animation. In Eng
land, it was thought a most wonderful
thing, and very justly, when, a dozen
years ago, a young Irishman allowed him
self to he locked up in a chamber for three
weeks, and seals to be placed on the door
aud window, and agreed to stay there
in that confinement without meat or drink.
This feat, as far as could be seen, he did
perform, according to the testation of sev
eral medical gentlemen, writers for the
newspapers and others.
But look at the difference. In the case
of this Indian, instead of confinement in
a spacious room the body is put in a hag;
the bag is tied up and sealed with several
seals by men of the highest credit and dis-
tiuction. Then it is put into a box, and
the seals are again applied to that box.
This, one would suppose, was test enough
in all conscience. Not at all! the box is
put into a stone grave or vault, then over
that stone vault the earth is completely
thrown, and gram is sown in the very sod,
which covers the body of this bold and mar
velous experimentalist.
Reader, do you marvel? what think you
of this? If this be really a cunning man,
who fences with the sharp eyes and looks
and thoughts of five millions of people,
and does this for fifteen or twenty years
without being caught tripping, it cannot be
denied he does his feat in a very work
manlike way. Buried for twelve months
under ground with corn growing over his
body! How is he to enter into collusion
with his confederates in the trick, if trick
there be? Men of the highest rank, doubt
ful of his powers, and among these the
celebrated Kunjeet Sing, have seen him
buried at the commencement, and have af
terwards been present , when the body was
taken up after a suspended animation of
twelve month's continuance. As far as
all human observation could go, that ex
traordinary man had lived without food,
without <lrink, without air for the space of
one entire year, and there he was at the
end of this singular experiment alive again
and hearty.
This wonderful man is now about forty-
five years old, and enjoys all the ruddy
health that a vigorous body and sound
constitution can bestow.
He is always ready to repeat his sur
prising performances—in fact he lives by
them. He gains his bread by living under
ground in a close grave.
He says that during the time he lies thus
in a state of suspended animation, he has
the most beatific dreams that can be con
ceived. These dreams are not like those
of ordinary men, but they are long, dura
ble, continuous, full of incident and rami
fied intrigue, like a well written romance
of many goodly volumes. But these
beautiful dreams are never completed, and
brought to a close, because he is in the
very midst of them when the term of his
probation comes, and the earth is opened
to restore him to the world. He does not
regret the time he loses by these inter
ments, for the fictions of his teeming brain
which passes through his fancy, have to
him a far ereater charm than real life.—
One day when the great Runjeet Sing
with his favorite minister, and the several
grandees of the Maharajah’s court, were
conversing with him upon the subject of
these extraordinary dreams, and trying to
form some idea of a thing so marvelous, he
described it very happily by comparing
it to one of those fits of musing, which
every one has at times, when the mind in
full vigor indulges in the How of its inven
tions, and which are so agreeable to the
patient, that the most amiable and the
kindest men are ready to curse the officious
friend who rouses them from so agreeable
a state of half suspended consciousness.
When the Fakir is taken up after buri
al, no pulsation can be felt: at once the
heart, the wrist, and the temple are still;
there is no 1 reathing; the body is not cold
as a corpse would he, but it is cooler than
that of other living men, except over the
seat of the brain, which is feverishly hot
and burning. All the secretions are fully
stopped, the nails have ceased to grow, so
have the hair and heard. He feeis great
dizziness at first, and for a few hours can
not stand up without support, and for sev
eral days he continues to experience the
sensation of a man in a swing, or of one
just landed after a long voyage. But grad
ually he recovers his health and good
spirits, and enjoys amazingly the wonder
and admiration he has excited.
The Sikhs look upon this man as a supe
rior being, gifted with a supernatural fac
ulty, and they take great pride in his pow
ers of bodily endurance. After the disin
terment they always exhibit the greatest
joy, and celebrate the occasion by the dis
charge of guns and letting oft' fireworks.
The Rajahs and Sirdars aud other men
of state load him with presents. They do
not distrust him as we should do, but rath
er glory in him as a specimen of the mirac
ulous, vouchsafed to their own priviledged
country. He is said to be very rich, and
is the only rich man among the Sikhs who
would dare to be so long away from court
for fear of his place being filled up during
his absence. He is also the only one who
does not suffer the maleficent detriment of
slander and calumny when out of view;
for as his peculiar merit does not interfere
with the progress of other men, they leave
him unmolested in his glory.
Eloquence of a Look.—"Surely,” says
Blunt, “no malefactor, condemned to
suffer for the violated laws of his country’
ever heard the last hour strike upon the
prision bell with half the agony of feeling
with which that cock-crowing rang upon
the ears of Peter. Still was there a sight
which smote far deeper than the sound;—
‘The Lord turned and looked upon Peter.’
What can portray the silent eloquence of
that last look? What volumes must it
have spoken to the fallen apostle? Could
he behold that well known countenance,
and again repeat, ‘I know not the man?’
Could he see his Divine Master, ‘as a sheep
before his shearers is dumb,’ and again to
break forth into oaths and imprecation? —
Could he t ear the reproach of that meek
eye. and yet remain in the guilty scene
amid those enemies of the Savior and of
his own sonl? No! that single glance was
all that was required to send home the
arrow of conviction and repentance to his
bosom; he instantly remembered the word
that the Lord bad spoken, and he went
out and wept bitterly.
