While we do not endorse some points of its theology, we do most cordially approve its spirit. We shall close our long account of Juvenile Books, with brief notices of several Annuals, intended especially for the young, and claiming particular favour at this holiday season. Christmas Blossoms deserves to be mention ed, first, because it is the oldest and handsom est of the Juvenile Annuals upon our table. It is published by Messrs. Butler it Cos., of Phila delphia, whose beautiful works are so famous everywhere. We have chosen it as a present for some dear little friend every Christmas, for half a dozen years, we believe, and we shall, probably, do so as long as its charms and mer its continue so irresistible. Six reaily beautiful pictures, from steel plates, form its embellish ments ; and good “Uncle Thomas,*’who edits it, tubes great care to fill its pages witli delight ful stories. What more need we say to com mend Christmas Blossoms to all who seek pure gifts for the young 1 The Slar of Bethlehem is another of the holiday class—and, although this is the first time thal its bright rays have beamed upon us, it is a star to win favour and love. Its beauti ful name has not been chosen to herald foolish stories and thoughtless words. The amiable clergyman who has edited it—the Rev. 11. H. W eld—has given to its contents a tone of cheer ful piety that should make it a favourite in Christian families. Like the Blossoms, it has numerous well executed engravings, and it is further adorned with an illuminated title page The Star of Bethlehem is published by Messrs. Lindsay Sc Blakiston, of Philadelphia. T>'ie Juvenile Keepsake , from the press of Messrs. Phillips, Sampsom Sc Cos., is a less ex pensive book than either of the two we have named. It is embellished with pretty wood cuts, and its pleasant little sketches are intend ed for quite little readers. It is unexceptionable for its purpose, of giving pleasure to children. MR HERIOTS VALEDICTION. To the Readers ijthe Southern Literary (Jazettr : My brief connection with the Gazette closes with this number. I abandon it with reluc tance, I might say, with regret, were it not that 1 am called to occupy another field of editorial labor, in which I can be more use fully employed. At the earnest solicitation of many of the leading friends and supporters of the Temperance cause in this State, —a cause w ith which I have been long identified— I have consented to undertake the editorial charge of the South Carolina Temperance Advocate —the organ of the State Temper ance Society and Sons of Temperance, and have perfected my arrangements for purchasing and removing the paper to this city, where it will be published from the Ist January next. With the readers of the Gazette, my rela tions have, so far as my knowledge extends* been always of the most pleasant and harmo nious character. I have endeavored, to the i “tyiost of my limited abilities and in accor ianee with the convictions of my best judg ment, to discharge faithfully niy duties to them and to the community to which I owe my birth, education, and every tie of association which binds me to earth. If, in the frank and fearless expression of my opinions, at any time, I have had the misfortune to givo offence to any, I can only say that I sincerely regret that there should be sufficient reason for differences of sentiment between us, while I am unpre pared to recall a single line that has yet escaped me, conscious as I am of having always writ ten under the influence of ralm deliberation— never of impulse or momentary excitement. The agreeable relations in which I have stood tiiwaiuo <iiun. m tfiioiu . <xcen writing. are by no means to be entirely severed by my present withdrawal. I hope still to hold regu lar converse w’ith many of them in my new sphere of action, and to carry out there more effectually, the plans and views which I have had the privilege of presenting to their consid eration. The design of the undertaking upon which I am about to enter will combine, with the ordinary duties of a public advocate of the cause 1 have espoused, a full share of literary labour and of the responsibilities connected with the conduct of a miscellaneous weekly Family Journal. These duties will require my i * • *a*a . J * uvov uiuim n 111 i 11 gti y \ exclusive attention, and I hasten at once to their performance. Wishing, therefore, to each and all of my readers many happy returns of the approaching joyous season, I beg leave, most respectfully, to subscribe myself, in bid ding them adieu, their obedient servant and friend, EDWIN HERIOT. Charleston, December 20, 1851. LIFE INSURANCE. The subject of Life Insurance is one of such importance and interest that we may be al lowed to devote especial attention to “The Second Annual Report of the Life Department of the Southern Mutual Insurance Cos., pre sented at the meeting in Athens, (Geo.) Oct. 7, 1851.” We are somewhat intimately ac quainted with the management of this Com pany, and have no hesitation whatever in de claring that it is deserving of the confidence and support of the Southern people. The Re port before qs is from the able pen of the Ac tuary of the Company, Professor McCay, of the University of Georgia, than whom we know of no one in this country who has more thoroughly mastered the science of Life Insur ance, or who is more eminently fitted for the important post be occupies in the company. From his report yye learn that the business of the Life Department is steadily increasing, and that over 250 policies are now open, which with the continual accession* to the number, keep the Treasury supplied with ample means to meet every contingence. Three special in tfUnaaa ol’ (lu !*.*’• lnnmv ** recorded. Two sums of SSOOO each have been paid this year to two widows, one of whom had seven children, and was otherwise desti tute. The third instance is one of a creditor secured from loss by the death of his debtor, who had transferred to him his policy in the company. These instances are important, as particular exemplifications, but they are scarce ly necMaary—weshould think—toconvince any one of the advantages of Life Insurance. The report embrace* a series ol brief but very comprehensive and philosophical essays upon the subject of Life Insurance. We have never seen the subject more ably discussed in so few words, and we should like to quote several of these pointed paragraphs, if our space would allow it. An extract will be found in another column, entitled, “Objections to Life Insurance,” a title which we will amend by adding, well aneuiered ! We commend the following passage to the reflection of our readers : MOTIVES OF THOSE INSURING. The niostcommou cause of insurance is that of a young man beginning the world with a small family depending otr his industry for their support. To such families the death of the husband and the father is a terrible loss. The object of our Society is to enable a large num ber of such persons to unite together, and pay a small sum out of each one’s purse for the benefit of the surviving family. Those who join us and do this are at the same time hu mane, benevolent, wise and prudent. They are humane, for they are relieving the needy and suffering; they are benevolent, for they are SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE^ working for others and not for themselves; they are wise, for they are laying by, while they have health and strength, a small regular sum which will grow rapidly by compound inter est, so as at last to accumulate a handsome sum for their families; they are prudent, for they are making a good investment of their money, which is certain to return to them with fair interest, since death comes alike to all. This Company is on the mutual principle’ i. e , each insured party is a stockholder, en titled to and receiving his share of the profits, in an annual reduction from his premium. I* the profits are large the reduction is very con siderable, but if small, or if the losses have been large, he may have to pay nearly or quite all the premium. More tliau that, however, he is not liable to pay. The rates of this Company are less than those of Northern Companies for Southern in surers; but they have been w isely and accurately graduated to make the funds of the Company ample and thus to give absolute security to the insured. We advise our readers to give this subject the consideration it demands of them, according to their various circumstances. — A poor man should certainly have his life in sured—a rich man may do without it. •’ (Dnr ilffossip ifnlnmii. Christmas. The compliments of the season to oue and all of you, dear readers, and believe us to he profoundly sincere, when we wish you “a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!” “A merry Christmas !’* The very title smacks of festival, and enjoyinent-*-and from time im memorial hath this season been one of good cheer. Its happiest social feature is the reunion which it commonly brings about, of the various members of families, and especially of those who may have been separated during the whole year. With the adveut of Christinas, the units gather from their various places, to form once more the social aggregate. They meet to recount the events of the year, and let us hope to acknowledge its mercies—to compare their experiences, and to exchange congratula tions or condolences, according as they have been joyous or sorrowful; and to pledge to one another “friendship, love and truth,” for the new year. How should Christmas fail of being “merry,” when it brings the loved and loving together around the hearth upon which the yule-log burns and glows. May all of you, dear readers, enjoy such happiness during this season. Our New Series. Already has our announcement of anew series of this Journal, “with entirely new fea tures,” for the year 1852, awakened echoes of approbation among our contemporaries. The Erskine Miscellany lays us under heavy obli gations by the following cordial notice, for quo ting which we shall offer no apology to our friends. Southern Literary Gazette. —“ Among the most welcome, and most fondly cherished ot our exchanges, is that which bears the above comprehensive and appropriate cogno men. It has always been one of the neatest and most interesting papers that we receive, hut it seems that it is still to be improved. In order to meet the wishes of hundreds of sub scribers, the publishers say ‘that they have de termined to issue the Gazette upon an imperial sheet in a quarto form of sixteen pages/ which will make it much more convenient for preser vation. They propose also to publish a semi monthly supplement, in the same form and size of the weekly numbers. The Supplement is to contain all articles that may be considered too long for the regular weekly. The first Supplement, to be issued simultaneously with the first number of the weekly, will commence a Southern Novel, entitled the ‘Sword and the Distaff/ by YV. Gilmore Simms. The vo lume, at the end of the year, will contain twelve hundred large pages. Subscription price Thrfe Dollars. Edited as before, by Mr. f 3 ’ “We dirnestly hope that this pioneer of Southeru weeklies, may receive a Southern welcome, from a Southern people. The South owes Mr. Richards a debt, not only of glory, hut of dollars, that we hope he will now re ceive/* W ith no less freedom do we quote the foL lowing remarks of the Laurensvillc Herald of the 19th inst.: The Southern Literary Gazette. —“We had intended to have given ‘a full length por trait of this invaluable Southern Literary Journal, but we can only say, at this time, that its prospectus, for 1852, promises the richest treats to its subscribers, and the proprietors ne j ver fail to fulfill their promises in every parti cular. We will lay its numerous claims before our readers at the earliest opportunity.” Not a single notice has met our eye, which does not equally with these approve and ap plaud the proposed change—and while we thank our brethren of the press for these words of encouragement and favour, we shall en deavour to prove ourselves not undeserving of them. The motto of our new series will he “Excelsior !” “The Sword and the Distaff.” Our prosjiectiis announced that the first chap ters of Mr. Simms’ new novel, with the fore going title, would appear in the first semi monthly Supplement of the new series of this Journal. After we had made this announce ment, we contracted with Mr. Sirnms for a Holiday Story, which grew under his plastic hand to an extent that rendered it impossible for us to publish it in the regular weekly issues of the paper, without setting aside the rule which we have made, to exclude therefrom long serials of any kind. We have, therefore* concluded to publish it in the first and second Supplements. It is entitled “ The Golden Christmas, a chronicle of St. Berkeley’s Par ish.” We shall be greatly mistaken in our judg. merit of its merits if it is not immensely popu lar, for it Is a homo story of great fidelity and spirit. “The Sword and the Distaff,” will prob ably be commenced in the third Supplement, and we beg our exchanges to notice that the “copyright” of that, and all other works pub lished in the Supplements, will be “secured nr am. mis arrangement is made for the interests of both publishers and authors, and does not extend to any original article in the regular weekly issues of the Gazette. The Opera in Savannah. We perceive from our Savannah exchanges, that the brief Opera season, which is pro greasing there, is quite as successful as could have been hoped for a first season. We have no doubt that there is musical taste enough in our sister city to warrant a regular annual sea son. Rose de Vries makes quite an impression there. Beuevcntano, Lorini, and, indeed, the singers generally, are well received. A Home Gift Book. A Southern Annual is a rara acts, a bird which seldom makes its appearance. The stronger, therefore, is the reason for greeting it kindly, when the rustling of its wing is heard. Mr. J. B. Nixon, of this city, has laid upon our table a copy of The Temperance Souvenir, for 1852. It has all the characteristics of its tribe— morocco covers, showily gilded—fair typogra phy, steel plates, etc. ; and we are compelled to acknowledge it to be a bona fide native Journal. It is the first of a eerier, moreover, for the publisher tells us it will be continued from year to year, if it meets with favour. It is 1 very pretty looking volume, and is filled chiefly with selected articles from the pens of Southern writers. Seven mezzotint engravings embellish it, and among them are portraits o> three well known and honoured advocates of the great cause of Temperance;—Judge O’- Neall, James Tupper, Esq., and Rev. W. B Yates. The literary material of the work was collected by Mr. Edwin Heriot It appeals strongly to two classes—the friends of Tem perance, and the friends of Southern Enter prize. Will they regard the appeal ? Our Next Number. The next number of this Journal will appear in its new form, and we trust that if any of our readers are disposed to say to it— *‘Thoa com’nt in neh a uuexticrable shape. That I most speak to tiiee’’*— that they will speak, and receive from it a very satisfactory answer in the r.tJi bill of fare, which it will offer them as a Nov/ Year's feast. Shakspeare and Washington. The following suggestion, which met our eye m the Home Journal of the 22d, Is “not so bad.” We vote “aye.” “ Douglas Jerrold has proponed that a mag nificent copy ot Shakspeare lie presented to Kossuth by the peojfle ot England, the amount of each subscription being limited to one pen ny. An excellent suggestion. Suppose tee present to the hero a copy of the life, letters and writings of Washington, by subscriptions of ten cents each. England will give him her greatest; let us present him with ours. Gentle men of the press, circulate the idea !” Old and Injured Paintings. We had occasion receutly o tost the skill ot Mrs. Jacksou, (the respected widow* of the late Mr. Jackson, the popular artist,) in re pairing injured and in restoring old paintings. We inspected several specimens of her handi work which occasioned our surprise. In oue instancy a portrait that had been reduced by time and bad usage almost to t uteri;, she had restored to its first excellence, nn J w r e saw sev eral pictures that had been badly rent, and yet so nicely repaired as almost to escape detection. It interested us most deeply to Lam from the lips of this estimable lady, that before her hus baud’s death she had never touched a picture or a palette, and that her skil was suddenly developed under the impulse anc pressure of a stem necessity. She tried and succeeded, and the knowledge of her success s >othed the dy ing pillow ot her husband. She now sustains her family by her rare skill and taste iu restor *ng and repairing pictures. A New Year’s Story, by Mrs. Neal. It affords us pleasure to announce that we shall publish in the first number ot the new se riou rtf lwa .. * 1 r at ries of the Gazette , a story from the peu of Mrs. Alice B. Neal, written expressly for the paper. VVe trust to have the number ready, together with the first Supplement, upoi the first day of the new year. A large edition will be pub lished, and copies may be obtained at the office ot the Gazette , aud of Courtenay Sc Wicnges. Price six cent a. Holiday Presents. Never do we remember to have seen more extensive and beautiful assortments of holiday presents tliau have been exhibited at the book and fancy stores of our city during the present week. Many thousands of dollars have been expended in the purchase of ‘.hem by our gene rous citizens, and the beautiful weather we have enjoyed has done much to augment the sales. { Ride up ? Ride up 1 The cry of the omnibus cad, which was for merly associated in our minds only with Go tham and its Broadway, is now a familiar home-sound, uttered as it is hundreds of times daily by the civil and expectant drivers of the Bay and Broad-street Lines, at their grand fo cus just under the windows of our office. Yes, we will “ride up.” Mrs. Glover’s School. It will be seen from a card in our advertising columns, that the exercises of Mrs. Glover's j School will commence on Friday, the 2d January, 1852. f I he reputation u<<t *n,<;<, ,w. Mrs. Glover, as an instructor of young ladies entitle her to the couhdence and favour of the public. A Teacher Wanted.

New-York: A. S. Barnes & Cos. These two handsome volumes are the post humous works of their au-hor, who was for many years a chaplain in our navy, and who published in his life time several entertaining and valuable books. These were “Ship and Shore,” “ Deck and Port,” and “Three Years in Cali fornia.” Mr. Colton was a short time before his death appointed Alcalde of Monterey, and discharged his official duties there with the same ability and fidelity which characterized his general labours. He was an earnest friend of the sailor, seeking ever both his social and moral elevation. It is but simple justice to say of him that he laboured diligently, and not in vain to that end. Asa writer, he exhibits great talent, and no inconsiderable tact in the man agement of his themes. The first of the two volumes named above might properly be ex cepted from the title of a posthumous work, as much of it appeared some years ago under a more specific title. It is a narrative of a visit to eastern ports “in the Bosphorusand -Egean,” written in a very picturesque and pleasing style, under the influence of a cheerful religious spi rit, cherished even amid the noise and excite ment on board of a man-of-war. The second volume, named, doubtless, with a fanciful view to uniformity with the first and previous works, contains much material not in rt-m-j —*..vftw*. wo ** **■ WV 1 ItT | mo appusiTfinefi* of which dejieiuls solely upon two addresses which it contains, adapted to sailors. These occupy scarcely a fourth of the volume, other- wise devoted to the literary miscellanies of the chaplaiu, and to a well written memoir of him from the pea of the Rev. H. T. Cheever. This presents him to us in the pleasing light of an enterprising and talented Christian man, and ge nerally sketches his diversified labours. Among the miscellanies included ic the volume, are the author’s Notes of a visit to France and Italy ; a few’ pages of Laconics at and Aphorisms ; some pulpit essays, and some brief poems. The col lection will prove acceptable to the numerous friends of the author, and the volume is well added to the pleasaut and instructive series al ready alluded to in this notice. Tll e Hcntzr NiTcaxliar. Romance of bporttn*. or Wild Scene, anil Wild Haoten. By C. W. Web. br. Philadelphia : J. W. Biadley. Mr. Webber is a modern “ Nimrod.”— with this advantage over bis great prototype, that he lives in an age of [Tinting and reading, and superadds to his qualifications as a hun ter, those of a very clever writer. In proof of this we have only to it stance his popular book “Old Hicks the Guide”—which is full of forest adventures. The took before us is a large and handsomely printed octavo of six hundred pages, and it is embellished with bril liant lithotints and spirited wood cuts, illustra tive of the scenes and adventures which are sketched in its pages, in a style indicative of the vigour of the writer’s mind. Subjected to rigid and hisi*neal standards Mr. Webber’s book might b, iound wtllllngi but we hav( . been too dee,:; interested with the impulsive restless, aud u,am*able energy breathing out in every hue of i narrat.v es , to stop long enough to make outlives quite certain of its lap*.., style. The titles dsome of the chapters may be suggestvie to i*r readers of the staple of the book.

He has interwoven his own advetures and researches with those of other faunas Nimrods and Naturalists, and has certairtljUicceeded in making a remark able book ; vlcli is but one of a series, should the present nAt with sufficient favour as it cannot fail of fling. The whole will consti tute a perfect treasure for the sportsman and the naturalist* also for the lover of wood craft, aud The work is pub lished by sulJription, we believe ; hut can doubtless bejocured through the ordinary channels. * 4 The Imperial Gurd op Napolkon, from Marengo to Waterloo.

Rtcanns. aided by m. .. tensive and emcient eorifc wfco „ u ;l>utors. ‘ To meet the growing demand for spaee,by the awak ening talent of the South, the publishers have determined to publish semi-monthly supplements corresponding in size with the weekly numbers, thus increasing the iormer amount of reading matter one haifduring the whole year. These supplements will be devoted to the ’publication of original novels, dramas, and oilier important serial contributions, which would occupy too much space in the weekly numliers. The first supplement will appear with the first weekly number, and regularly thereafter, twice a month. The publishers are happy to announce as their first great serial, A SOUTHERN NOVEL, by WM. GILMORE SIMMS, LL. D., entitled ** The Sword and the Distaff.” Other brilliant origiual works by Southern authors will follow in quick succession, and this feature of the work can scarcely fail to find general favour. To meet the increase of expense occasioned by these changes; and to warrant the contiuual improvement of the journal, the subscription price will be raised to Three Dollars a year, in advance, for which trifling sum, each subscriber will receive 76 numbers of the Gazette, making an aggregate of over TWELVE HUNDRED IMPERIAL QUARTO PAGES ; more matter than is furnished by anyother literary paper in the world, for the same price. The Publishers will spare no pains or expense to make the new series of the Gazette surpass its former series, in variety, quality, and brilliance of material, and they coufideutly appeal to the people of the wkole South to sustain them m their purpose and endeavors. The Clubbing system will be abolished, as both incon venient and unsatisfactory to all parties. Any person, however, who may interest himself to procure subscribers, will be entitled to retain from his collections, one fifth of any sum under fifteen dollars, and one-fourth of any sum over that amount. Five dollars will be received in ad vance payment lor two years. A ve*-y large edition of the new senes will be published and back numbers will be supplied to all orders while they last, unless cpeci&l directions are given to the contrary. Orders must be accompanied by .the cash, and ad dressed, post-paid, to WALKER, RICHARDS A CO., Charleston, S. C. N.
