THE GIFT BOOKS FOR 1851.
SECOND NOTICE.
A group of magnificent books, fiom the
,—< of Messrs. D. Appleton &, Cos. of New
\ o rk, will lorni the eliiet theme of the present
ari.c-le, a;. J might well claim a far more ex
tL.;: :ed nonce than our limits will allow. It is
compo-eil of four distinct works, each of them
reflecting credit upon the taste and munificent
eiiierprize of its publishers, whose numerous
h*s aie daily teeming with valuable issues
,u almost every department of Literature and
Science. They have recently erected upon
Headway, a splendid store, for the proper dis-
I ~y of their varied and extensive stock, both
, i their own and of imported books. It pre
, sa lofiy and imposing front of brown stone,
1 j? unquestionably the finest book-store in
the United States. But to the group of books
iinder our notice; and of these we name first,
Our Saviour, with I’rophets and Apos
ru:s. Many of our readers have seen and ad
mire-cl a superb volume eniitied The Women of
rut. Bible, containing highly-finished steel
I .traits, illustrated by biographical sketches,
I >iu the pen- i t distinguished American Di
. It was justly pronounced the most mag
n incut gift hook ol the last season A eom-
Ia i.on volume to that, and every way worthy
, i being connected with it, is the work before
us. Ii is an imperial octavo, bound in massive
arabesque morocco. The portraits are eighteen
in number, and are executed on steel, from
Pmderi's matchless pictures. They display the
b. In-si possible excellence of line and stipple
engraving, and form a rare and invaluable gal
oi -acred portraits, in the contemplation
and admiration of which, the mind and heart
( i tlie thoughtful and devout beholder must
lind at once inspiration and delight. The por
trait of “ Our Saviour” piesents a rare blend
ing of inetlible tenderness and indescribable
dignity, and nearly every one of the lesser sub
jects is marked by characteristic excellence. It
is not too high praise to say of them, that they
are a collection of portraits in which are dis
pl ived every possible perfection of humanity.
The biographical sketches are remarkable for
their comprehensiveness and elegance of style,
and rarely, if ever before, have so many exqui
si;c portraitures, by different hands, been grouped
m a single volume. The religious public owes
a large debt ol gratitude to the publishers for
this splendid work, beyond all comparison the
most precious of the Sacred Gilt Books for the
approaching holidays.
Passing to the second of our group, we have
a volume of similar size to the former, but of
greater thiekness, and we find upon its back, in
ipaiint Kl.zabethun text, the inscription,
The Queens of England. The title-page
farther minims us that it is “ a Series of Por
cius of distinguished female Sovereigns, drawn
nid engraved by eminent artists, with biograph
cal and historical sketches, from Agues Striek
and.”
From the earliest times of England's mon
irchy down to the present era of her world
cuowned grandeur, scores of female names
lave graced her throne, aud shone with more
ir less of regal splendour in her brilliant an
nuls. Twenty-eight of these, from Matilda of
Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror, to
• r Gracious Majesty, Victoria the Queen-reg
nant, are embraced in this beautiful volume,
which thus conducts us through a queenly pic
ture gallery, where we stop and dwell upon
each face, while the story of an eventful file is
breathed into our eager ear by one whose fas
cmaiions of utterance have been every where
cuntessed. Would that we had time to beguile
>ur readers’ attention to some of the sweet and
Noble faces that this royal gallery contains—to
that ol tiie beautiful Eleanora, the first of the
I’loviucal line of Princesses who, allied to the
I’hiiitagaiiet kings, greatly afiected the desti
uii's of England—of the illustrious Philippa of
Ilainauit—of the unfortunate but fascinating
Anne Boleyn—of the stately and magnificent
Elizabeth—and last, though not least, of Vie
nna, whose name is a spell to every British
licait 1 We have named these iew, and this is
all we may now do. We sincerely hope, how
et’ r, that some of our fair readers will have
tbs happiness of being made possessors, in fee
‘hiqi.v, of all the exquisite pictures in the col
kit.oii we have thus briefly described.
A Book of tiie Passions is an elegant edi
-luu of .Mr. James’ well-known book of this
came, embellished with sixteen fine steel en
graving?, each having reference to the stories
comprised in the work. It is a royal octavo
‘oTiuc, of much mechanical as well as intel
lectual beauly and merit.
Evenings at Donaldson Alanor is the hap
py title chosen for a collection of stories by a
lavourhc daughter of the South, Miss Maria J.
-Mclntosh. It has been so recently noticed and
commended in our ‘Book Table,’ as to render
‘t un icccssary for us to say moie than this ol
‘■.that it is one of the most charming and up-
F pnate holiday or gift-books which this pro
life season has brought forth, and should meet
v -;tli especial favour from our readers.
e have yet another group of these “ books
01 beauty” of which to make particular men
!,,J| i> but must reserve them for next week's pa-
P er - Those described above are all for sale at
-Ml Russell's.
HOW DO YOU DO!
An ingenious writer in the London Quarterly
j'fcicir, has undertaken to show that national
■ ‘mis of salutation are true indices of national
character, and that the best history of a people
may be found in its dictionary. Thus among
ali ravage and warlike peoples, the common
salutation conveys a prayer or wish that the
Person saluted may enjoy Peace —the summum
,J '"“iin of individuals as well as nations, in such
a ‘-'uiidition of hie. Throughout the Bible this
ie invariable blessing —Shu him. ’ The wan
’ rm g Bedouins of the desert have to this day
’ same form of salutation. The fatalism oi
•H shows itself in the phrase; “If God
uil < thou art well.”
Peace be upon thee,” says the fluent and
“ Persian. “ How is the state of thine
‘■uiiour!” *• 1 make prayers for thy greatness !”
iny thy shadow never be less !” This latter
IJ ,n smack* of summer aud of the South.
’ :i a salutation would make a Northman
er - It shows, too, a proper respect for
J lor a dignified, aldermanic rotundity !
Ihe Greeks, a joyful people and full of the
’ lour of a life of action and success, offered
‘ -ulututiorr in the single word x al P e —“ re *
Juice!”
he salutation of the Romans was founded
|J JQ l he idea of bodily strength and aptitude
for war: with them virtue— virtus, manhood,
was synonymous with being “ frigoris el fa
mei patient, and they said salve, tale —be
healthy, be strong. The commercial and enter
prising Genoese of the Middle Ages used to
a!Ly,Saneta e guedagno —health and gain! a
phrase than which nothing could be more char
acteristic. The obsequious Italian ol the pre
sent day humbly announces himself “ your
slave.” The proud Castilian says Buenas
tardes —good late, instead of good evening,
and his vaya con Dios, Senor Caballero ! has
a taste ol strong self-respect, mingled with re
ligious reverence. In his, “ May you live a
thousand years,” are seen traces of the Moor.
The phrase is too hyperbolical to have origi
nated in Europe.
Comment vous portez-vous, contains, says
our reviewer, the very soul of the French
character, their manners their history; and not
only gives us a portrait of their past, but helps
us to au almost inialhble prognostication of
their future. Qu :l.tas is monstrously developed
in proportion to qu mditas. How is the formula
not what. The Ftenchman busies himself
mainly with the shapes and shows of things, and
therefore comment is the leading stroke in that
involuntary photograph which he strikes off
fifty times a day. Then the portez-vous,
“ How do you carry yourself!”—an expression
of the eager, restless, vivacious manners of the
nation. In this Comment vous partez-vous, is
manifested the theatrical character, in perfec
tion—the instant identification of the person
speaking with the person spoken to. Comment
fa va-t-il ? is of the same tone and character.
Leben Sie wohl, “ live thou well,” is the kind
wish expressed in the salutation of the easy,
fat, phlegmatic German. The “ swag-bellied
Hollander,” entirely devoid of poetry and senti
ment, salutes you with Hoe vaart’s-ge —“ how
fare you ?” which typifies his trading, voyaging
character.
In Sweden they say llur md nif —“ how
can you ! ’ —that is, are you strong and vigor
ous ; and Far wal —“farewell.”
John Bull and Brother Jonathan, in a hearty,
cordial, but business-like tone, greet you with,
“How are you i” and “How do you do!”
VV hat could be more characteristic of the great
and potential Anglo-Saxon race ? To do .’
“ You do of course—of this there is no ques
tion—this is the all ol life, but how do you do!
“ How are you ?” This is multum, or rather
uniter sum, inparvo! It embraces all—health,
wealth, knowledge, power. What could we
say more ? And here it is all in three words,
“ How are you ?” It is answered in thiee
words: “I am well !” “ How do you do ?”
Again the answer is, “Well”—I do well!
Reader, “ How do you do ?” *

Magnolia Cemetery.
This beautiful suburban burial-place was con
secrated by appropriate services on Tuesday
last. We were present upon the occasion and
shared in the interest manifested by a large and
very select audience. The consecration-prayer
was offered by Rev. W. C. Dana, after which
an address was read by Charles Fraser, Esq.,
in which he reviewed the history of sepulture,
and presented a great many interesting facts
and illustrations, in a style at once chaste and
elegant. He was followed by W. Gilmore
Simms, Esq., who delivered an elaborate poem,
entitled, “ The City of the Silent.” Our limits
will not allow us to speak at any length of its
merits. It was characterized by the author’s
wonted vigour of thought and melody of versi
fication, and contained many passages of rare
beauty and tenderness ol sentiment. The poet
presented a series of graphic pictures of the
various modes of burial among different na
tions of antiquity ; and contrasted them very
felicitously with the modern rites of sepulture.
It was a performance of so much excellence
that we hope to see it, as also the classic ad
dress of Mr. Fraser, in print. The services
were enlivened by two appropriate odes, sung,
in admirable style, by a portion of Mr. Robin
son’s class. Thus were the grounds of the
Magnolia Cemetery set apart as ‘ the dwelling
place of the dead,’ where, amid all >he varied
beauties of Nature and the graceful decorations
of Art, the living may hallow the repose of the
departed, and contemplate Death in its serenest
and fairest aspects. We sincerely hope thut
the ‘ Magnolia Cemetery ’ may rival in beauty
the ‘ Greenw’oods ’ and ‘ Mount Auburns’ of
less genial climes.
Judge Lumpkin’s Address.
We were among the delighted auditors of
the second Annual Address before the South
Carolina Institute, delivered by the Hon. Jo
seph Henry Lumpkin, on Monday night last.
Every part of the theatre was thronged, and the
audience presented a brilliant array. The theme
of the orator was the policy of the South in
the encouragement of manufactures, and many
forcible arguments and apposite illustrations
were adduced in support of the speaker’s views.
He presented glowing pictures of what the
South can and ought to become, by the proper
development of her wonderful resources ; and
our imaginations of her future greatness and
splendour were kindled to unwonted fervour
beneath his eloquence. We have not time or
space to present an analysis of his addiess,
which, however, we hope to do when it is pub
lished. Meanwhile we must content ourselves
by describing it as replete with sound reason,
beautiful imagery, and a diction at once chaste
and elegant. The only regret we experienced
was that the distinguished speaker’s impaired
health compelled him to confine himself too
closely to his MS. to allow him to adopt that
bewitching style of oratory for which his ex
tempore addresses are so justly celebrated.
Eulogy on Mr. Calhoun.
We have barely time to chronicle, very
briefly,the services which took place tins morn
ing (Thursday) in commemoration of the vir
tues of the illustrious Calhoun. Avery large
procession of citizens and visitors was formed
at the Oily Hall, and after inarching through
several streets, it halted at the Circular Church,
on Meeting-street, which was soon densely
crowded in every part. After religious services
by Rev. Dr. Post, Gen. James 11. Hammond
pronounced a eulogy on the departed states
man , in
“ thoughts that breathe and words that burn.”
It was one of the most elegant, exalted and
fervent tributes to the virtues of the dead to
which we ever listened, and it was not its least
charm, that while every eye kindled with de
light at the orator’s eloquent words, every heart
confessed the justice and fitness of the praises
he uttered. We have not time to say more of
it now than this—that Carolina’s noblest son
lias found a worthy eulogist.
Rev. Dr. Manly,
The name of this distinguished gentleman
has been, of late, repeatedly mentioned in con
nection with the Presidency of the South Ca
rolina College. As there seems to remain no
doubt that the College is to lose the services of
its present able President, the question of the
succession is a very important one. We allude
to it now simply to express our cordial approval
of the suggestion that the Rev. Dr. Manly
would fill the post with the greatest possible
benefit and honour to the Institution.
SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE.
The Fair.
We go to press too early this week to allow
of an extended notice of the Fair of the South
Carolina Institute, now being held in the Mili
tary Hall. It opened on Tuesday, but many
articles were subsequently received, aud the dis
play was not perfected until the second day of
the exhibition. Next week we shall notice
lully several features of the Fair, and shall
therefore content ourselves now with saying
that while all our hopes and expectations, as to
the extent and diversity of objects, are not re
alized, there is yet much in the exhibition to
animate the hearts of the friends of Industry,
and to excite them to renewed zeal in their la
bours for the development of mechanical genius
and skill in the South. We notice a very in
genious and beautiful machine for sharpening
the teeth of saw-gins, invented in Columbus,
Ga.—handsome brooms from No-th Carolina,
highly finiHied dental instruments from Colum
bia, and many other items, of which we shall
make particular mention. The attendance of
our citizens, and also of visitors front the inte
rior, has been, aud continues to be, very large
and constant.
Soiree Musicale.
We had the pleasure of being present, a few
evenings since, at a Conceit given by the
Misses Sloirian, at their residence, and consist
ing chiefly of the performances of the pupils
of these accomplished ladies. A rare degree
ol excellence in both instrumental and vocal
music was displayed by the performers, and we
wete especially gratified and indeed surprised
by the proficiency exhibited by some very
joung pupils, whose style of playing would
have done credit to pupils of twice their age
and practice in music. We pay but a merited
tiibute to the Misses Sloman when we say that
the Concert reflected the highest credit upon
their skiil and fidelity as instructors in the ex
quisite Art of Music.
Temperance Hall.
Ibis hall was thronged to overflowing on
1 uesday night, by an audience which paid un
stinted homage to the glowing eloquence of
the Hon. Judge Lumpkin, in behalf of the
1 empcrance cause—a cause to which he has
long consecrated some of the noblest powers
of his mind, and in which some of the brightest
trophies of his fame as an orator have been
won. It is needless to say that upon the occa
sion now referred to, and although physically
indisposed, he met fully the public expectation,
and filled Temperance Hall with the strains of
a fervid and subduing eloquence, whose echoes
will linger there long alter he has departed from
our midst.
Harriet Martineau
Has published a letter in one of the London
journals, advocating the formation of a “com
bined household ’ for destitute gentlewomen.
She states that there is a large number of ladies
in London, of refined education and habits, who
have been reduced by the chances of life to a
state of indigence and suffering. They are
out of the sphere of charity, helped at
all, must help themselves. By uniting their
funds, and availing themselves of the economies
ot combination, Miss Martineau contends that
they would be relieved from a listless and un
cotnfortable life, and secure a much brighter
and more cheerful existence. Somewhat such
a plan was suggested by Robert Southey, and
has attracted the attention of other philanthro
pists. *
Moore, the Poet.
The Dumfries Courier has the following an
ecdote ol the once witty and accomplished
Irishman :
He was lately present when a gentleman was
requested to sing. The gentleman sat down at
the piano, and in token ol admiration, sung one
of the Irish minstrel’s own choicest strains.
When he had finished, the poet exclaimed,
“ flow beautiful! I have surely heard that be
fore.” V\ e mention the incident, not wantonly
to draw the veil from the countenance of s!eep
tng genius, but because there is no one but must
be deeply afiected when they thus strikingly
find that—
“ The harp that once through Tara’s halls
1 lie soul ol music shed.
Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls
As it the soul were tied.”
” Musical Neighbours.”
It we mistake not, this capital sketch, which
tiie leader will find on our second page, will
be extensively appreciated. We know not a
few who can sympathize fully with Miss Lucy
Lane, in her grievous tribulations. *
Cabinet Portraits.
W e invite the attention of our city readers
to the advertisement in another column of Mr.
Egan. Those who are in want of Cabinet or
life-size poitraits, would do well to give him a
call at his studio.

any knowledge, are those which issue from the
throat ot the Swedish Nightingale. They are

Additional Memoirs of My Youth. By A. de La
martine. New York: Harper Sc Brothers. 1850.
In his preface to this volume, Lamartine no
tices the attacks of the critics—“the stern,
rude men,” as he calls them, “ who will not
yield till we weep,” on his previous work—
Memoirs of My Youth, in which they harshly
condemned him for thus unveiling his soul to
the world. He says that the Confessions were
published under the influence of a fatal neces
sity, and that the same necessity impels him to
brave again the censure ol the critics, by giving
to the wot Id more of his heart’s secret history.
We have read these heart-revelations with a
deeper interest than that with which we peruse
a romance, but with a feeling of regret, mingled
with something like reproach. But whether
Lamartine is right or wrong in thus making
the world his confidante, the wot Id will eagerly
read what he has written. Mr. Russell has
the work. *
Tiie Churches and Sects of the United States,
containing a brief account of the Origin, History, Doc
trines, Church Government, Mode of Wonhip, Usages,
and Statistics ot each religions denomination, so far as
known. By Rev. P. Douglass Gorrie. New York:
Lewis Colby.
This unpretending little manual possesses the
real and rare merit of being a candid exposition
of the history and tenets of the religious sects
of this country, as exhibited in their respective
books, or taught by their respective leaders.
So far as we have examined it, it appears to be
without prejudice or prepossession, and is un
questionably the most comprehensive volume,
in proportion to its size, yet published concern
ing denominational characteristics. It will be
found of great service to the student of limited
resources, and also to the general reader. We
are indebted to Messrs. George Parks &, Cos.
for a copy of the work.
Eulooy on the Late Hon. John C. Calhoun, deli
vered before the Chrestomathic and Cliosophic Societies
of the College of Charleston, July 6th, 1850. By Fre
deric A. Porcher, Professor of Belles Lettres, College
of Charleston. Published by request of the Cliosophic
Society. Charleston: C. Canning. 1850.
We arc indebted to the Cliosophic Society,
at whose request it was published, for a copy of
this eloquent and earnest tribute to the memory
of Carolina’s illustrious statesman. It does
credit to its author and is not unworthy to be
sent forth in the name of the Literary Societies
of the Charleston College. *
Beranoer: Two Hundred of his Lyrical Poems, done
into English Verse. By William Young. New York :
George P. Putnam. 1850.
The author of these very clever translations
is an Englishman and the editor of the New
York Albion. The American public has cause
to be grateful to him for introducing to them,
in so graceful and Anglo-Saxon garb, the
great Gallic song-writer. is pe haps
the most popular poet that ever lived. He is,
and has been for the last quarter of a century,
the idol of the French people. His songs are
equally the admiration of the savan and the
delight of the.unlettered men of the blouse,
with whom some of them are as familiar and as
dear as the nursery songs which their mothers
sang over their cradles. They are intensely
national and Republican and at the same time
eminently genial, vivacious and cheerful. They
seem to gush out of the singer’s heart—sponta
neous, bird-like and full of melody. They are
such songs as only a Frenchman could write.
They are natural, lively and earnest. They
appeal to popular sensibilities and to popular
sympathies, and are written in the vigorous and
idiomatic language of the people rather than
the classic French of the Academie
This fact renders the task of translation diffi
cult—in many cases almost impossible, The
merry Roi d’ Yevetot, Le Vieux Caporal, and
Le bon Francois, usually make but a sorry
figure in any other than their native costume.
Mr. Young has succeeded in clothing them in
an English garb, without making them either
John Bulls or Jonathans.
The few translators who have hitherto at
lempted to render Beranger’s songs into Eng
lish, have, in most cases, made decided failures.
Mr. Young, entering into the spirit of the ori
ginal, has preserved, in a great measure, their
freshness, their wit, and even their peculiar
rhythm and melody. Take, as an illustration,
the opening stanza of that expressive little ode,
Ma Vocation, in rendering which other trans
lators have so signally failed. The original
runs as follows;
Jete sur cette boule,
Laid chitiff et souffrant,
Etoufle dans la I'oule,
Faut d’etre assez grand ;
Une plaint touchante
De ma bouche sortit,
Le bon Dieu medit: chante,
Chante pouvre petit.
It is thus “ done into English ” by Mr.
Young:
Plain, sorry, and sickly,
Adrift on this ball,
Trodden down by the masses,
Because I’m so small,
To my lips when a murmur
Wdl touchingly spring,
God whispers me kindly,
“ Sing, little one, sing!”
\\ c have no room here to give specimens of
Mr. Young’s translations, but shall hereafter
copy several of the songs in another depart
ment of our paper. We need hardly add that
the work is well printed and handsomely bound,
as books that come from Mr. Putnam’s press
are never otherwise. *
History of I’ropellkrs and Steam Navigation,
with Biographical Sketches of the Earl/ Inventors.
By Robert Macfarlane, C. E, Editor of the •'Scientific
American.” New York; Geo. P. Putnatn. 1850.
This is a handsome vo unte of 144 pages,
well printed and illustrated with numerous en
gravings. It possesses no small degree of in
terest and value to the general reader, who de
sires to be well informed in relation to the pro
gress of the age, in science and mechanical
skill. To the inventor and the scientific me
chanic, it must prove an important acquisition.
Engravings representing the first rude attempts
at the construction of steam-boats are given.
The contrasts between these and the splen
did ocean steam ships of our day are great in

for Webster and the Union, and groans for
John Bull. According to the accounts given

The Fire. —A fire broke out about 1 o’clock
on Tuesday morning last, in the Foundry
and Steam Manufactory of Messrs. Cameron,
McDermid & Mustard, at the foot of the street
leading to Patton’s wharf, which was burned to
the ground, together with the Foundry of
Messrs. Lockwood & Johnson, the Black
smith Shops of Mr. Jeffords and Mr. Corby,
and two wooden houses on Pritchard-street,
owned by Mr. Smyser.
Messrs. Cameron, McDermid & Mustard
were but very partially insured. We are sure
the ready sympathies and aid of their numer
ous friends will not be withheld, and that they
will he enabled to resume their business as soon
as suitable buildings can be erected. Mr.
Smyser was insured in the Hartford Insurance
Company.
About two li; ndred men and boys are thrown
out of employment by this calamity.
The efforts of our efficient Fire Department
on this occasion were energetic and unwearied,
as usual, but the want of water rendered their
exertions of much less avail than they other
wise would have been. No more lessons of
this kind will, we trust, be needed to incite our
citizens to action in regard to a supply of water
for the city. We must have it, cost what it
may. *

is reported, Dr. Hawks, its Rector, $15,000,
furmthed a parsonage house, and insured his
life to the amount of SIO,OOO. This is proba
bly the largest living ever bestowed upon any
clergyman in the Union.
Marriage of Southern Women. —No So”th
ern woman will marry a gentleman north ot
Mason and Dixon’s line, who cannot furnish
unexceptionable testimonials of being a pro
slavery man. This is one of the affairs in
which the direct trade principle will be most
patriotically eniorced by our noble-hearted
girls.— Evening News.
A Heavy Robbery. —The house of McDon
ough, the millionaire, near New Orleans, has
been robbed by one of his slaves, assisted by
five white men. The negro says they took
three buckets of gold and silver. There was
a package of notes amounting to SIOO,OOO in
