No more dainty, elegant and beautiW publication has ever issued from the super latively tasteful house of Ticknor & Fields, than their Alantic Almanac. This illumina ted, large ami finely illustrated annual first appeared last Winter. Now the second one has come out—splendid as October’s maple leaves. And its matter is as good as its manner. Here is a specimen. Mr. Thomas Mr. Brewer is writing about Bluebirds and Robins: Our earliest Spring musicians are the Bluebird and the Robin. Familiar as both birds are to most of us, they deserve some thing more than a passing mention among the song-birds of this country. Os the Bluebirds we have three species, all closely resembling one another, yet sufficiently dis tinct, and occupying different parts of the continent. Two of these are found in an area between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific. The third is our common Blue bird of the East, more or less abundant from Louisiana to Hudson’s Bay, and from Cape Cod to the Mississippi. Os all our birds, this bears the closest resemblance in outward form and colors, and in its habits and general characteristics, to the tradi tional Robin Redbreast of Europe. It does not, it is true, in the Winter season, with the same delightful familiarity of which we have so often read, come round our dwell ings, or seek the shelter of our roof. Nor would it, like Robin Redbreast, pick up the proffered crumb of bread. Its food is ex clusively of insects, and it cannot, there fore, well subsist in waether which inter feres with Us obtaining! Us prey. We do not, therefore, meet with it in midwinter, in any of the more Northern States. .Iu the early Spring, and throughout the Sum mer, it is found in all parts of the country East of the Mississippi, as far North as the 48th parallel of latitude. How or where these birds pass the Winter does not clear ly appear. In the Southern, and even in some of the Middle States, on Tevery mild Winter day, the Bluebirds will come out from their retreats, wherever these may be, but will all disappear again on the return of severe weather. They are among the first comers among the migratory birds, al- ways making their appearance in the first days of March, and once even in Massa chusetts as early as the 15th of February. On that occasion, although the weather subsequently became very severe, the ther mometer falling to zero, the Bluebirds re mained, and were, from time to time, ob served to be singing, and appearing to be having a good time generally, in spite of the temperature. Our Bluebird is a very pleasing, but Is not a powerful or a remarkable singer. His notes are a succession of low and melo dious warblings, and are almost exclusive ly uttered in close proximity to his mate. As his song is usually our first announce ment that Spriug, though yet M distant, is advancing, so, too, his notes may be heard among the, very la3t, and long after most of our other vocalists are mute. The Western Bluebird and the Arctic Bluebird are peculiar to the Pacific Coast. In their habits, in their apperance, and, in deed, in all other respects than their resi dence, they very nearly resemble the East ern species. The song of the first named is said to be even more tender, sweet, arid varied than are the notes of onr common species. In regard to this, however, out authorities do not agree; Dr. J. G. Cooper, of California, very stoutly maintaining the contrary. The notes of the Arctic species are said to be easily distinguished from either of the others. Though equally sweet and clear, they are delivered with much less power, - Another of our earliest arid most.fiuhiliar songsters, whose loud and melodious whis tle in early Spring resounds throughout the length and breadth of our entire coritinent, is the Robin. It is too late now to enter onr protest against this absorb misnomer, A Robin it is, in Yankee* parlance, and so will continue to be called so long as we may continue to hear its delightful music, What need have we to describe its notes ? Who of us, from the Atlantic to the Paci fic, is not familiar with its powerful, if not varied song, which Audubon tells us can, hardly be distinguisned from that of the far-famed Blackbird of Europe ? Like the Bluebird, the Robin, as he is among the Sri-tUcdUn Constitutionalist. first to open, so he is among the last to close the vernal concert of nature. The earnestness, simplicity, and thrilling nature of his song constitute its gripat charm. Its notes do Hot exhibit a-very great variety, and are thought by different writers to resemble those of other birds, by some being said to reeemble the Brown Thresher , by others the Wood Thrush of Europe. Its song, in the still, early, sum mer mornings, seems to pervade all space, and everywhere to be the 7 predominating music. It begins with the first gray of the morning’s dawn, and only closes with the lost glimmer of the closing twilight. If, as says the old adage, early rising is calcu lated to assure wealth and wisdom, com bined with good physical health, surely the Robin ought to be abundantly blessed in these respects. It is up and in full song long before any one else is astir; so early indeed, and so very soon after its last eve ning appearance, that one would almost think it could hardly pay for it to retire to roost, devoting, as it does, in the long sum mer days of June, sixteen or eighteen hours ont of the twenty-four to giving its earnest and enthusiastic expression to harmonious Squares.

Belonging to the same family with the Robin are several of our best singers.— Indeed, the entire family of true Thrashes and all its kith and kin, are musicians.— All of them are excellent, and several of them are worthy of special men tion. Perhaps the most celebrated of these is the Wood Thrush, of course not the bird bearing the same common name in Europe. Our bird occurs in Summer, from Mexico to New England, Massachusetts being its most Northern limit. It is, far the most part, as by some it-is not inaptly called, a “ bird of the solitude,” seeming to prefer dense thickets, low, damp hollows, shaded by the dense foliage of forest trees. But this, though its general, is by no means its universal habit. We can remember when a small grove near the paternal home, with in the present limits of Boston, was the fa vorite resort of several pairs of these birds, who, year after year, built their nests, rear ed their yonng, and filled the neighborhood with their delightful melody, unmindful of the frequent presence of curious and inter ested children, one, at least, of whoiq will not soon forget the enjoyment derived from the exquisite sweetness of their music. One of the most observing young natural ists mentions an even more striking depart ure of a Wood Thrush from the usual habit of the species. For several successive Summers one of “these birds of solitude” made its home among the elms and maples of the Court Square, in the very heart of Springfield, speuding the entire season in its immediate vicinity, and pouring out his melodious strains at early dawn, and at various hours of the day, until late in the evening, as undisturbed by the people on the walks beneath him, or tha noise and rattle of the vehicles in the contiguous streets, as if he were id liis own wild-wood haunts. His superior musical powers caused him to become a favorite, as he familiarly searched for his food along the gravel walks of that frequented square. The song of the Wood Thrush is at ouce attractive and peculiar. No lover of the sweet sounds of nature cad fail to notice it, or, having once heard it, knowing its source, can fail to recognize it ever after. Language cannot describe, still less do jus tice to, the surpassing richness of its melo dy. It has been compared by Wilson to the double tonguing of a German fluil or to the tinkling of a small bell. Their whole song consists of five or six distinct Darts, the last note of each of winch is in such a tone as seemingly to leave the conclusion suspended. The finale is finely managed, and is sweeter and sweeter at each succes sive repetition. But very little inferior to the Wood Thrash in their vocal powers are a groyp of fpor or five distinct ami very close ly-allied soecies. Though not familiar to the unscientific world, and only very re cently recognized in all their specific dis tinctions by our naturalists, they are chief ly known as Hermit Thrushes. They all dwell in swampy woods, aucl are retiring and secluded in their habits. •There are at least seven recognized as dif ferent species in thisgrobp; but of these two are very little known, and none of them are well identified by common names. One is called Wilson’s Thrush, and is a common bird throughout New England. The Ground Swamp Robin and the Olive backed Thrush are found in warm weather from Massachusetts to Labrador. Alice’s Thrush, called also the Gray-checked Thrush, is found in the same Northern lati tudes, but farther West, its domain seeming to be from Chicago North, in the central portions of the continent. The Pacific Thrush is a bird of Oregon. • All these binds, with a single exception, have a high arctic range. With the notes of the last two mentioned our naturalists are not familiar, or have at least made no mention. They are presumed to be not dif ferent from the general character of their kindred. Os the group the Olive-backed Swainson’s Thrush is decidedly the supe rior singer. Both this and the more com mon Swamp Robin, as well as our Wilson’s Thrush, combine sweetness, variety, and exquisite harmonious tinkling sounds in their notes, which, to our taste, are fully equal to the more famed song of the Wood Thrush. They all have the same peculiar, clear, metalic ring, the same wonderful blending of various sweet sounds, which no one can hear but with delight, or, having heard, fail to remember ever after with a vivid recollection of their charm. When in grief for the loss of its young, the Olive backed Thrash breaks forth with a song of lamentation, very different from the harsh and discordant notes of other birds, under like circumstances, but laments in notes of surpassing sweetness and plaintive melody, “so pitiousty sad and waesome, that onr hearts amaist broke as we sate and listened.’ [From the Baltimore Gazette. The Cincinnati Facility of Divorce. Os all the domestic and social institutions existent that marriage is recognized in civilized countries as the most important. Its proper regulation concerns the State probably more than it does the individuals who enter into marital connections. Ill advised marriages bring personal griefs, but where the ceremony itself is lightly re garded the demoralization of the communi ty is the inevitable result. The care which* children receive and the propriety with which the family relations are maintained may be measured by the solemnity and in dissolubility which attach to the holy estate of triatriraony. In those countries where husbands and wives have been able easily to procure a legal separation it has always been found that such facilities su- perinduce a corresponding preparedness for the neglect or abandonment of their oft spring. Wherever the marriage tie is look ed upon as a partnership which may be dis solved at the pleasure of either party, there we may look for a dissolute and debauched community. The Protestant Episcopal Convention now in session in New York has therefore done good service in call ing attention to the feasibility with which divoreescan be obtained in’many States in this country, and in providing more rigorous rules to prevent the clergymen of that denomination from indiscriminately remarrying persons who have been divorc ed. In a debate upon the subject a gentle man from Connecticut stated that “the frightfril prevalence of divorce was sapping the foundation of society, and that Yale College, the Congregationalists and iProf. Loomis were making them popular.” What foundation there may be for these charges, so Sr as the parties named are concerned, we ftre unable to say, hat we are satisfied that a great deal of the profligacy which exists in New England owes its origin di rectly or Indirectly to the teachings of those who regard marriage very much in the light of a mere business transaction.— One clergyman stated that in some parts of New England, and he mentioned Essex coanty, in Massachusetts, as an instance, “ one-tenth part of the marriages are of persons who have been divorced husband or wife.” In some of the Western States a divorce can be procured almost as cheaply and promptly as a license to be married. The evil is already widespread and is increasing daily. If Bociety shall continue to extend its toleration or ap proval to the habit of procuring divorces whenever married parties fail to live har moniously, the pernicious effects of such a system will soon make themselves mani fest. The influences which are now most potent to control men and women will cease to be operative, and released from un welcome restraints and from the necessity of making any sacrifices, ffeople would soon learn to live with the Mxity for which the inhabitants of Pompeii were notorious. English and American Eadipk A writer in Tinsley’s Magazine says: “ English women have their out-of-door sports as well as the men. They row, they ride, they have archery meetings, and, more than this, they walk out in every kind of weather. lam not abotft to repeat the old cry that American ladies wear thin shoes, fade quickly and die early. This cry was never qnite true, except in regard to la dies of fashion; and snch ladies are very much alike all over the world, wearing the same attire, living the same life, and com ing to the same end. Bat, unquestionably, the opening of the New York Central Park —which rendered all American parks sud denly fashionable —and the subsequent and consequent introduction of English walk ing boots, have greatly benefltted American women, and have blessed, like anew provi dence, the American children. I have had the honor of introductions to English ma trons who appeared quite as yonng as their daughters, and have met an English lady who assured me that she was a grandmoth er, although she looked young, charming, and handsome enough for a maiden of 18; but I think I could find similar phenomena in America, and I have encountered some English girls who seemed old enough to be their own mothers, not to say grandmoth ers, and ugly enough to suggest the theory of demoniacal influences. The truth is, that American ladies, as a rale, are as hand some as the English, and last just as long ; but theirs is a different style of beauty, and each man has his own ideal. Ido not wfht the American women to look like the English, but I want them to be as healthy, and to introduce to the world as healthy children. To accomplish this, they should wear warmer under-clothing, walk more, be more independent of the weather, live more in the open air, and take horseback exercise regularly. Almost every English lady knows how to ride; that goes withont ask ing; but in America, although you may be sure that every lady can thumb a piano, not one in fifty can ride. Croquet is not exercise—for which reason, I presume, the’ American women have been willing td adopt It; but gardening is a healthy amuse ment, which most Americans neglect; and In which English ladies take the utmost delight. Foreigners who reside for any time in England soon learn the pleasures of a garden. I have seen an Italian priina donna, for whom the critics cannot find sufficient praise nor the public adequate applause, digging with a trowel at 0 o’clock in the morning; and it is astonishing how much interest American residents here take in an occupation which they scarcely thought of in their own country. Better this than forming woman’s clubs, or agitat ing for woman’s rights by declaring wo man’s wrongs. Far better than resorting to watering places every Bummer in quest of rest and strength, and returning in the Autumn more fatigued than ever. English women go to watering places also; but they go for the water and flirt accidentally; they blithe ; they trot about on, the beach ; they- make walking excursions into--the adjacent country; they are not so particu lar about their toilets as in town. The American ladies go to flirt, and take the" water incidentally; they pass the day in frequent changes of dress for breakfast, lunch, promenade, drive, dinner and eve ning dance; go to bed when they should be thinking of getting up, and commit more follies in a few weeks thaD they can satis factorily repent of during ihe remainder of the year. The first duty of a woman is to be handsome and healthy, and the average English woman performs her duty faithful ly; the average American woman fails after the handsome half.” Dumas and Authors— In the preface to the second volume of his plays, the junior Da mas says: Do you see that unfortunate young man with a contracted face, yellow temples, grimacing mouth, and wandering eyes? He was born to walk free and joyous behind a plow, sowing with a proud gesture the seed of the next harvest; at night he would have eaten by his fire-side the bread earned during the day; each of his steps, every move he made, would have given him a livelihood. Look at him in the crowded capital, pressing day and night his head in both hands, kneading it and making it sweat stories, adventures, combinations for a famished crowd which devours him, and quits him for another when it can get noth ing more from him. That man will, for a little longer or a little shorter time, make Henrietta marry Arthur, surpriso the lover by the husband, poison this one, guillotine that one, and adroitly suspend the interest at the end of the chapter orof th e femUeton. He, in succession, sells love, jealousy, tears, history, fun, slang, satire, morals, eulogy, insult, politics,, progress* sentiment, ob scenity, religion, in fine “copy” from two to five sous a line, according to the reader’s taste, the newspaper’s lipe of policy, and the current of the day.

We have published the celebrated medical adver* 4 tieement of Dr. H. T. Hslmbold. Previous to doing eo we have received a moderate reward in the usual way of payment, wh ! eb we apply to ail the wares, Übnts and business cards we present to our readers. It is our custom to examine everything thoroughly ifhich we offer through our columns, and to refuse aU that we cannot commend. Now, as our readers know we never do anything by halves, they can readily In fer that wheti a so-called fnedieal advertisement occu pies a whole page in the Church Union, we mean somethfng by it. It is not our purpose to dodge or tergiversate, or to wink at any such thing. We have no managing agent who smuggles Into one column wbat Is boldly condemned is another. The Gettys-, burg Asylum swindle came to us ; we judged not by feeble sense, popular disfavor, nor by Congressional action, but we examined for ourselves, and no money In the world could buy one inch of the Church Union to eommend It. Precisely the same course we pur sued towards HBLMBOLD’S BUCHU. We had seeh It everywhere; It haunted our vision on rockj mount ain, and curbstone ; in the cars, on steamboats,- and by the wayside, we saw this omnipresent specific advertised. Wo never gave it a thought—never con-_ damned it, never commended it; did not rnsh In the face of prejudices, and cry out quack I quack 1 Wjp knew nothing of it; had other, and wo thought, more important subjects for contemplation, than this won ' .3H erful medicine. So when it came up for our conatd eration, we determined to Investigate for we do lu theology, so do we In medicine —ajMp ask “ What does Doctor so-and-so think, or say, or surmise?” If it is wrong, oil the world may espouse, yet let our right hand forget its cuuning, and our tongue cleave to the roof of our mouth, if wo waver one atom in our devotion. If it be right, not even the fact that a host commend, and a fortune Is being made out of it, •hail keep us from fidelity to it. For thero he many men so mean in this world that they will never advo cate a good thing if anybody gets a good living by it. We know of men who won’t hear Hbbbt Waid Bbbchbb preach, because be lives in a bt own stone front, and manages to keep the wolf from the door, quite easily. Just so with Dr. Helxbold ; because he Is making a fortune by his enterprise, we cannot bend ourselves to the mean task of condemnation and wholesale slander. There is something about the man you like at once. He is no quack. A quack is an em piricist, who tampers with disease, by applying reme dies he knows nothing about. Dr. Hblmbold is an educated man ;he is frank in every respect; readily lays before you the ingredients or vegetable compounds of bis medicine. The very processesof distillation are patent; there is no diabolical decoction or compound ing of elements that are vile, and, of course, secret Everything is open and above board ; what he does he knows ; you cannot he in hie establishment three mmutes without seeing that he is a man who knows what he is abont. All the world may know that the medicine he sells so largely all over the world is the very best diuretic known. It is in strict accord ance with the text at the head of this article. It is but the leaf of a shrub or tree, gathered by the wild Hottentots, and has been known for many years. Many others have used, and bear ample testimony to its usefulness. We dare any unprejudiced physician to test its virtues and not yield to its superior merit. There are other ingredients, as Us advertisement shows. And now having a good thing, devoted to it with an enthusiasm Which bespeaks honesty at once, what can we say, what need we say* The diseases treated are, some of them, peculiar and fearful; hut dM our Bavlour shrink from the loathsome leper because the world did? The BUCHTJ is a specific remedy, and ought to go over all this world, if it is what any scientific man can prove it to blessing. Believing it to be a blessing, we have allowed it place, vid shall do It again, and for any and every good thing. Asa toad or a viper, would we shrink from er ror or evil, Whether of Ghnrch or Btate; bnt every good thiag we advocate. Let the insane man who cries out quack at everything medicinal, pause, reflect, and come to his senses. Quackery is empirical, but such Is not the BUCHTJ: nor of sueh is the enterpris ing and enthusiastic man who is bound to succeed, because he wields right. Success to the BTJOHU.
