Money*» so tight nt Ptrsent.
He sat in his leather cushioned seat,
That merchant corpulent,
And, as by the BtOVfl lie. warmed his feet,
His eye's on the fire were bent,
And thus he tuned quite a dolorous lay :
'-The prospect is tar from pleasant, '
I've cleared but a hundred dollars to-day,
For money's so tight -»t present."
His clerk, with his pen behind bis ear,
Askral Ibr an inervase of wages;
Ills voice ¡t was tremulous quUc with fear,
^ So lie asked it by easy stages:
The flour—Is—Up—SHU the coal—is—high—
A little more—pay—-would Ijo—pleasant.'
Ills employer looked him right in the eye,
Growling—'Money's quite tight at present.
The merchant passed through the market-place,
And he purchased fur dinner a pheasant;
And the thought ofthe meal illumined his face.
Though money was tight at present.
A weather-stained tar asked a shilling or so,
To put in hia empty cruet ;
The merchant sighed as the hurricanes blow,
"I wish I had cash to do ft,"
"Ob, father ! I bought some furs just now,
So cheap I liave proved the winner ;"
Thc merchant he kissed his daughter's brow,
And then he sat down to dinner.
"0 father! this sable's tn go round my neck,
It's outline will look like acre-sent ;
It will take the shine out of cousin Beck,
Though mope; is tight at present."
"My dear '. 'twas the wife that next chimed in—
"Our girl wan dissatisfied,
She said her wages had made her thin,
Iiut Instantly I replied,
A dulbti' ft week is an awful price ;'
She answered, '.Ind, faith, it esn't,'—
80, the baggage, I sent her off in a trice,
For money is tight at present."
The merchant sipped at the red, red wine,
Till his nose was a ruby getting ;
lie hiccupped and said it was superfine,
While liis ravenous maw was wetting ;
He lolled him back, and he sang a song,
His wits they were growing brighter,
The money was tight, but he doubled the wrong,
Fur he was a good bit tighter.

Tlie Conjuror Out-Conjured,
The other morning, says the Reveille, we were
thinking of something infernal, when in walked
1 Stgnor Blitz, looking us full in the face at the same
time, from behind that shadow cloud of hair hnd
wbifkers with which he envelopes his «tunic countenance. We were very good friends, instanter,
spite of hoof or brimstone, and we were just about
to surrender in the way in which the Signor conjured coin into our pocket, and more mysterious
still out of our pockets, when who should pop in
but De Meyer with his lion aad kid like courtesy.
Here was another victim for the arch enemy, and
accordingly Blitz baño to play the devil with the
musician, eren as he had done with us. De Meyer
stood it for some ;time, in high admir&tiou, when
he exclaimed :
"Veil, I hara surprise at nothing else peside !~-
Now. Monsier Pleetz, I vill show some hombogs,
too. He forthwith tore a small strip from tbo
margin of a newspaper which he divided into six
very small pieces and spread them out on the palm
ot his hand."
'•Now Monsieur Tleetz, I was desired to know ii
you can give von pouf (puff) wis you mut, and
"blow away all dese leetly sheets, except von that I
shall show you."
The magician studied the problem closely, but to
putt away at a breath, live of the pieces without
stirring the sixth, was enough to puzzle the devil
himself, and so his disciple gave up, earnestly desiring so be informed as to the art of the matter.
"Terry well, I show yon," said De Meyer. ''Now
den, vat piece shall I keep on my hand ven I pouf?"
Blitz pointed out to the very centrepiece,
"Oh, datish him, goot! Now, régardez..'" The
impromptu conjurer deliberately laid his pencil
point upou the bit of paper designated, gave a
"pouf," and sure enough the other live pieces left
his hand in a hurry.
There was a great laugh at the c¿5cpense of Blitz ;
he, however, immediately got rid of the sell by disposing of it to our Senior who entered at the moment, and who, by the hy, is now in thc market
with it.

A hard Case of Hearing.
A young Jonathan once courted the daughter of
an old man who lived "down east," who professed
to be deficient in hearing, but forsooth," WM more
cautious than limited inhearing, as the sequel will
show :
It was a stormy night in the idea of March, if J
mistake not, when lightning, and the loud peals of
thunde** answered thunder, that Jonathan sat by
thc old man's fireside, discussing with the old lady
(her intended mother-in-law) on the expediency of
anking the old man's permission to many "Sal."
Jonathan had resolved to "pop it" to the old man
■trtday. The night passed, and hy the dawn of
another day the old man was found in his barn
feeding. Jonathan then rose from his bed early in
the morning, spied the old man feeding his pigs,
and resolved to ask him for Sal.
Scarce had a minute elapsed, after Joaathan
made his resolution, ere- be hid the old man ''good
morning." Now Jonathan's heart heat, now he
scratched his head and ever and anon gave birth
to a pensive yawn. Jonathan declared that he'd
aa lief take thirty-nine "stripes" as to ask the old
man; "hut" said he, aloud to himself, '-however,
heregoesit, a faint heart never won fair gal,"
and addressed the old man thus :
"I say, old man. Iwantto marry your daughter."
Old Man—"You want to borrow my halter, I would
loan it to you, Jonathan, hut my son haa taken it
and gone to the mill."
Jonathan—(Putting his mouth close tothe old
man's car, and speaking in a deafening voice)—
"Yrc got five hundred pounds of money !"
Old Man—Stepping baek as if greatly alarmed,
and exclaimed in a voice of surprise, " you have
had five hundred pounds of honey? What in the
mischief can you do with so much honey, Jonathan?
Why, its more than the whole neighborhood has
use for."
Jonathan—(Not yet the victim of despair, and
putting hia mouth in the old mau'a eai, bawled
out) "I've gold."
Old Man—".So have I, Jonathan, and it is the
worst cold I ever had in my life." So saying he
mtezed a "wash up."
By this time the old lady came up, and having
observed Jonathan's unf or tanate luck, she put her
mouth to the old man's ear and screamed like
wounded Yahoo.
Old Lady-™''Daddy, I say, daady—you don't
understand ; he want's to marry our daughter."
Old Man—"I told him our halter was gone."
Old Lady—-"Why, daddy, you don't understand
—he's got gold—he's rich!"
Old Mau—"He got a cold and the itch, eh !—
\%at is he doing here with the itch, eh ?" So saying thc old man aimed a blow at Jonathan's head
with his walking cane, but happily for Jonathan,
he dodged it. Nor did the rage of the old man
¡stop at this, but with an angry countenance he
made after Jonathan who took to his heels. Nor
did Jonathan's luck stop here ; he had not got out
of the barn-yard, nor far from the old man, who
running a close race, ere Jonathan stumped his toe
and fell to the ground, and before the old man
could " take up," he stumbled over Jonathan and
fell sprawling in a mud hole. Jonathan sprung
to hia heels, and, with the speed of a John Gilpin,
cleared himself. And poor Sal, she died—without
a husband.
£&* Hon. J. D. Richardson who has recently
been re-elected to Congress from Illinois, is a strong
Nebraska man and done good service in puttin:
that bill through the House. He is a generous and
gallant fellow.
Wc remember having heard an anecdote of him
recurring to the time when he was Prosecuting
Attorney in one of the counties of Illinois, A
wealthy rascal had been indicted for some offence,
aod, before thc casc came to trial, the offender came
into Richardson's office, and laying on thc table a
$30 bill, said : " I reckon, 'Squire, that little ii
dietment had better be nol pros.rd." « I got up,
says Richardson, " and thrust the S50 bill back to
him with ono hand, and took him by thc collar with
the other, and put him down the stairs full as quick
as he came up. I was glad I did it so quick," he
added humorously, "for I was short about that
time, and the S50 bill looked mighty good.
Tub Uxgi.isii Language.— Tbe words of the
English Language are composed of several foreign
languages. The language may be looked upon us
a complication, both in words and expressions of
various dialects. Our Uws were derived from the
Norman, our military terms from the French, our
scientific names from the German, and nearly every
other noun or adjective is taken from otlier dialects.
The English language is composed of 12,734 words
—of which 0732 are from the Latin, 4312 from the
French, 1Ü65 from the Saxon, 166'9 from the Greek,
631 from the Dutch, 211 from the Italian, 106 from
the German (not including verbs,) 90 from the
Welch, 75 from the Danish, 5(3 from the Spanish,
30 from the Icelandic, 31 from tbe Swedish, 31
from the Gothic, lti from the Hebrew, 15 from the
Teutonic, and the remainder from tbe Arabic, Sy-
riac, Turkish, Portuguese, Irish, Scotch, and other
languages.
0&~ Somebody advises the Know Nothings who
indulge in pure liquors to "beware of foreign in
fluence." Don't touch old Otard, it's French ; noi
Holland Gin, it's High Dutch, nor Madeira, it'sber
Catholic Majesty's of Spain. He further cautions
them when they 'dine out.' to put nothing but A-
mericau'Champagnes on duty,' and aa tbey are
comparatively harmless, since it must be a terribly
depraved palste that c*n fancy them to be the worse
for their influence.
IS HEREBY given to all persons, that lam not liable «pon,
and shall not pay either of three promissory note» purporting to haTe been executed by me on the 20th At y of
February, A. 1). 1855, and payable forty days after date,

Orit Navy.—A writer in thc New York Herald
says —
The navy at present has seven tolerable ships
of the line, about a dozen frigates, and thirty
.steamers, sloops and brigs—a force truly ridiculous when the resources of the country are thought
of. We ought always to have in commission as
many as many line-of battle ships aa we now possess, or at least, the Commodore at each naval station ought to he allowed to hoist his broad pennant
on a ship of the line. But, instead of this being
tbe case, the largest we bave in active service is a
frigate of 44 guns—properly rated—and the Com
modore of the East India station has his pennaut
flying from the mast head of a little nut of eleven
light guns. The flag ship of un English Admiral
is generally a noble three-decker, mounting from
98 to 120 cannons ; and I cannot scc why we Americans, with a commerce and territory more extensive than England's and a finance never exhaust
ed, cannot treat our commodores in a like honorable manner. If we can give them no three deckers
we might afford to man for them a few twenty-
fours. Besides tho actual protection and encouragement with the presence of large men-of-war
would give to our commerce, it would impress
foreign nations with a knowledge of our strength,
and cause them to treat us on all occasions with a
deference due us, and calculated to flatter the pride
of a young and growing country."

aud excitement of the great political, events of the time

readers must look for the only really intelligible and reli-
able history of current events, and as such, in addition to
their well-estahlished literary, scientific and theological

Why should every one go to Vance's who wishes P¿EK-
FECT LIKENESSES ? Because he has now the best arranged Gallery on the Pacific coast, and not to be surpassed by any in the world. Instruments containing lenses
more perfect, and with greater power than any ever before
used in this country.
2d. Because he has THE LARGÍKS1 ncirr IS toe wontn, from
which he can form three distinct lights—top, side and half
side lights—that now enables him to overcome tho great
difficulty which every artist in this city lias lo contend
with—namely, In order to obtain perfect likenesses, different formed features require dillerently arranged lights.
3d. Having the hirjresf light, be iseuablfd to make pictures in half the time of any other establishment in the
sity ; therefore tbey must be more perfect, for it is well
known, the shorter the time the more natural the espres-
4th. Because every pinte is carefully prepared with a
coating of pure sliver which produces thu clear, bold and
lasting picture that is so much admired, and which cannot
be produced on the common plates, as they are now used
by other artists.
5th. Because lie lias of late, after much experimenting,
brought his cbemical preparations to perfection, using
compounds entirely different Irom anything ever before
used in thc art, which enables bim to produce perfect
likenesses at every sitting.-with that clear, soft and beautiful tone, so much admired in all his pictures.
AJI those wishing perfect. likenesses «-ill do well to call
bcfoiv sitting elsewhere and judge for themselves.

"A Scci.diio Biudal."—TV'itk this pretty conceit
for a title, thc New York Mirror says :
" InviffttioiiS'are out for the most sublime and
magnificent"nixfttials ever celebrated upon our
planet—the wedding of the rough: Atlantic to tho
fair I'aeiiie Ocean. An iron necklace has been
thrown(HJrosá the Isthmus: the banns are already
published; and the bridal party will' leave on
JUemiay next. February 5th, to perform the augnst
ceremony. Some seven millions of dollars have
been spent in achieving this union; but, as the
fruits thereof will soon show.it has been money
well invested. Across the bosom of tlie Isthmus,
the golden products of our i'aeiiie borders and the
incalculable trensures of the áistant Orient, are
destined to flow in mire mi ttingj streams. The stupendous enterprise of uniting the two Oceans which
embrace tlie greater portion ofthe globe, we are
proud to say, was conceived and executed by our
own citizens, in the frowning i'aee of obstacles that
none but Americans could have overéeme. The
swamps, mountains and miasmas of the isthmus
drove all the engineers of Europe home in despait
who contemplated the gigantic undertaking, and
the Herculean work was left no the hands and
hearts of men in whose vocabtlary "there is no
such word as fail." The Engmeers of England
and France pronounced the project utterly impracticable. To the late lamented.John h. Stevens and
his associates, Aspinwall. Chauncey, Coit, White-
right aiid others, the world is indebted for the completion of thle ¿OBEjUTBOND—the comnV",'.-'
ing of the hemispheres. Aa enterprise so* full of
poetic BOblimity, and so fraught with interests coextensive with the whole earth, may well c'mimaed
the admiration of the world; and de-erve.' ta be
fitly inaugurated by such a bridal party as are now
preparing to embark ns witnesses of the grand
eons;, mat ion. It is a theme for such an Fpil.hala-
miuin as was never sung in Greece, and an occasion

august personages have been in our country, before
■they assumed the imperial and regal crowns. The
former was hard up for cash, but a clever aud companionable person, whom we met several times in
New York and once on the Mississippi river. Constables aud hard hearted tradesmen Who liked to
be paid, gave him a distaste for this country, so be
left impelled by destiny, a:;d is uow Emperor of
France. Prince Liholibo who lias succeeded his
uncle Kamehameha III., as the IV., of that euphonious title, visited our country also some years
since, with the American Missionary, Dr. Jndd, and
we saw him also at the Irving House, iu New York,
looking as bright and coppery as a new cent. He
was tatooed ou account of his complexion, " the
burnished livery of the sun,'-' and was not allowed
to sit with thc white folks at the tables in our
steambo.ats, but is now King of the Sandwich
Islands. So Louis Napoleon liad no coppers iu his
purse, and Liholibo too much in his face for this
republican country. •

vale, close by a peering brook, meandering over
its pebbly bottom, incessantly babbling in dulcet
tinkling strains, 'love, love, love ;'—where the atmosphere is redolent of soothing, spicy aromas: that
make the eyes languish, and the heart dissolve in
the liquid tires of love ;—where the balmy morning
zephyrs sigh in thc dense forest's leavy maze,
chanting love's melody ; ■ where the tiny songsters
that whirl in ethereal space warble nought but love.
I will plant thee a garden of gorgeous lovclincss.cul-

» Bútúús f octrg^ Money*» so tight nt Ptrsent. He sat in his leather cushioned seat, That merchant corpulent, And, as by the BtOVfl lie. warmed his feet, His eye's on the fire were bent, And thus he tuned quite a dolorous lay : '-The prospect is tar from pleasant, ' I've cleared but a hundred dollars to-day, For money's so tight -»t present." His clerk, with his pen behind bis ear, Askral Ibr an inervase of wages; Ills voice ¡t was tremulous quUc with fear, ^ So lie asked it by easy stages: The flour—Is—Up—SHU the coal—is—high— A little more—pay—-would Ijo—pleasant.' Ills employer looked him right in the eye, Growling—'Money's quite tight at present. The merchant passed through the market-place, And he purchased fur dinner a pheasant; And the thought ofthe meal illumined his face. Though money was tight at present. A weather-stained tar asked a shilling or so, To put in hia empty cruet ; The merchant sighed as the hurricanes blow, "I wish I had cash to do ft" "Ob, father ! I bought some furs just now, So cheap I liave proved the winner ;" Thc merchant he kissed his daughter's brow, And then he sat down to dinner. "0 father! this sable's tn go round my neck, It's outline will look like acre-sent ; It will take the shine out of cousin Beck, Though mope; is tight at present." "My dear '. 'twas the wife that next chimed in— "Our girl wan dissatisfied, She said her wages had made her thin, Iiut Instantly I replied, A dulbti' ft week is an awful price ;' She answered, '.Ind, faith, it esn't,'— 80, the baggage, I sent her off in a trice, For money is tight at present." The merchant sipped at the red, red wine, Till his nose was a ruby getting ; lie hiccupped and said it was superfine, While liis ravenous maw was wetting ; He lolled him back, and he sang a song, His wits they were growing brighter, The money was tight, but he doubled the wrong, Fur he was a good bit tighter. —Bizarre.—• Tlie Conjuror Out-Conjured, The other morning, says the Reveille, we were thinking of something infernal, when in walked 1 Stgnor Blitz, looking us full in the face at the same time, from behind that shadow cloud of hair hnd wbifkers with which he envelopes his «tunic countenance. We were very good friends, instanter, spite of hoof or brimstone, and we were just about to surrender in the way in which the Signor conjured coin into our pocket, and more mysterious still out of our pockets, when who should pop in but De Meyer with his lion aad kid like courtesy. Here was another victim for the arch enemy, and accordingly Blitz baño to play the devil with the musician, eren as he had done with us. De Meyer stood it for some ;time, in high admir&tiou, when he exclaimed : "Veil, I hara surprise at nothing else peside !~- Now. Monsier Pleetz, I vill show some hombogs, too. He forthwith tore a small strip from tbo margin of a newspaper which he divided into six very small pieces and spread them out on the palm ot his hand." '•Now Monsieur Tleetz, I was desired to know ii you can give von pouf (puff) wis you mut, and "blow away all dese leetly sheets, except von that I shall show you." The magician studied the problem closely, but to putt away at a breath, live of the pieces without stirring the sixth, was enough to puzzle the devil himself, and so his disciple gave up, earnestly desiring so be informed as to the art of the matter. "Terry well, I show yon" said De Meyer. ''Now den, vat piece shall I keep on my hand ven I pouf?" Blitz pointed out to the very centrepiece, "Oh, datish him, goot! Now, régardez..'" The impromptu conjurer deliberately laid his pencil point upou the bit of paper designated, gave a "pouf" and sure enough the other live pieces left his hand in a hurry. There was a great laugh at the c¿5cpense of Blitz ; he, however, immediately got rid of the sell by disposing of it to our Senior who entered at the moment, and who, by the hy, is now in thc market with it. ft_ú %\kúsi\\\n\\i.

R. M. WALLACE, Administrator. Santa Tlavbara. February VI, 1866. feb22-4t IilisttU;mcoits. A hard Case of Hearing. A young Jonathan once courted the daughter of an old man who lived "down east" who professed to be deficient in hearing, but forsooth" WM more cautious than limited inhearing, as the sequel will show : It was a stormy night in the idea of March, if J mistake not, when lightning, and the loud peals of thunde** answered thunder, that Jonathan sat by thc old man's fireside, discussing with the old lady (her intended mother-in-law) on the expediency of anking the old man's permission to many "Sal." Jonathan had resolved to "pop it" to the old man ■trtday. The night passed, and hy the dawn of another day the old man was found in his barn feeding. Jonathan then rose from his bed early in the morning, spied the old man feeding his pigs, and resolved to ask him for Sal. Scarce had a minute elapsed, after Joaathan made his resolution, ere- be hid the old man ''good morning." Now Jonathan's heart heat, now he scratched his head and ever and anon gave birth to a pensive yawn. Jonathan declared that he'd aa lief take thirty-nine "stripes" as to ask the old man; "hut" said he, aloud to himself, '-however, heregoesit, a faint heart never won fair gal" and addressed the old man thus : "I say, old man. Iwantto marry your daughter." Old Man—"You want to borrow my halter, I would loan it to you, Jonathan, hut my son haa taken it and gone to the mill." Jonathan—(Putting his mouth close tothe old man's car, and speaking in a deafening voice)— "Yrc got five hundred pounds of money !" Old Man—Stepping baek as if greatly alarmed, and exclaimed in a voice of surprise, " you have had five hundred pounds of honey? What in the mischief can you do with so much honey, Jonathan? Why, its more than the whole neighborhood has use for." Jonathan—(Not yet the victim of despair, and putting hia mouth in the old mau'a eai, bawled out) "I've gold." Old Man—".So have I, Jonathan, and it is the worst cold I ever had in my life." So saying he mtezed a "wash up." By this time the old lady came up, and having observed Jonathan's unf or tanate luck, she put her mouth to the old man's ear and screamed like wounded Yahoo. Old Lady-™''Daddy, I say, daady—you don't understand ; he want's to marry our daughter." Old Man—"I told him our halter was gone." Old Lady—-"Why, daddy, you don't understand —he's got gold—he's rich!" Old Mau—"He got a cold and the itch, eh !— \%at is he doing here with the itch, eh ?" So saying thc old man aimed a blow at Jonathan's head with his walking cane, but happily for Jonathan, he dodged it. Nor did the rage of the old man ¡stop at this, but with an angry countenance he made after Jonathan who took to his heels. Nor did Jonathan's luck stop here ; he had not got out of the barn-yard, nor far from the old man, who running a close race, ere Jonathan stumped his toe and fell to the ground, and before the old man could " take up" he stumbled over Jonathan and fell sprawling in a mud hole. Jonathan sprung to hia heels, and, with the speed of a John Gilpin, cleared himself. And poor Sal, she died—without a husband. £&* Hon. J. D. Richardson who has recently been re-elected to Congress from Illinois, is a strong Nebraska man and done good service in puttin: that bill through the House. He is a generous and gallant fellow. Wc remember having heard an anecdote of him recurring to the time when he was Prosecuting Attorney in one of the counties of Illinois, A wealthy rascal had been indicted for some offence, aod, before thc casc came to trial, the offender came into Richardson's office, and laying on thc table a $30 bill, said : " I reckon, 'Squire, that little ii dietment had better be nol pros.rd." « I got up, says Richardson, " and thrust the S50 bill back to him with ono hand, and took him by thc collar with the other, and put him down the stairs full as quick as he came up. I was glad I did it so quick" he added humorously, "for I was short about that time, and the S50 bill looked mighty good. Tub Uxgi.isii Language.— Tbe words of the English Language are composed of several foreign languages. The language may be looked upon us a complication, both in words and expressions of various dialects. Our Uws were derived from the Norman, our military terms from the French, our scientific names from the German, and nearly every other noun or adjective is taken from otlier dialects. The English language is composed of 12,734 words —of which 0732 are from the Latin, 4312 from the French, 1Ü65 from the Saxon, 166'9 from the Greek, 631 from the Dutch, 211 from the Italian, 106 from the German (not including verbs,) 90 from the Welch, 75 from the Danish, 5(3 from the Spanish, 30 from the Icelandic, 31 from tbe Swedish, 31 from the Gothic, lti from the Hebrew, 15 from the Teutonic, and the remainder from tbe Arabic, Sy- riac, Turkish, Portuguese, Irish, Scotch, and other languages. 0&~ Somebody advises the Know Nothings who indulge in pure liquors to "beware of foreign in fluence." Don't touch old Otard, it's French ; noi Holland Gin, it's High Dutch, nor Madeira, it'sber Catholic Majesty's of Spain. He further cautions them when they 'dine out.' to put nothing but A- mericau'Champagnes on duty,' and aa tbey are comparatively harmless, since it must be a terribly depraved palste that c*n fancy them to be the worse for their influence.

Febraryu 28.1855. mhl 5t Orit Navy.—A writer in thc New York Herald says — The navy at present has seven tolerable ships of the line, about a dozen frigates, and thirty .steamers, sloops and brigs—a force truly ridiculous when the resources of the country are thought of. We ought always to have in commission as many as many line-of battle ships aa we now possess, or at least, the Commodore at each naval station ought to he allowed to hoist his broad pennant on a ship of the line. But, instead of this being tbe case, the largest we bave in active service is a frigate of 44 guns—properly rated—and the Com modore of the East India station has his pennaut flying from the mast head of a little nut of eleven light guns. The flag ship of un English Admiral is generally a noble three-decker, mounting from 98 to 120 cannons ; and I cannot scc why we Americans, with a commerce and territory more extensive than England's and a finance never exhaust ed, cannot treat our commodores in a like honorable manner. If we can give them no three deckers we might afford to man for them a few twenty- fours. Besides tho actual protection and encouragement with the presence of large men-of-war would give to our commerce, it would impress foreign nations with a knowledge of our strength, and cause them to treat us on all occasions with a deference due us, and calculated to flatter the pride of a young and growing country." ms aims.

Early Copies Secured. LEOWAU¿D, SCOTT & CO., New York, continue to republish the following British Periodicals, vii: 1. THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative): 2. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig). 3. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church). 4. THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal). 5. BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory). The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually interesting during the forth coming year. They will occupy a middle ground betweet the hastily written news items, crude speculations, ani¿ flying rumors of the daily journal, and the ponderous tome of the future historian, written after, the living interest aud excitement of the great political, events of the time shall havo passed away. It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only really intelligible and reli- able history of current events, and as such, in addition to their well-estahlished literary, scientific and theological character, we urge tlieni unon the consideration of the res ding Public. #S" Arrangements are now permanentlv made for the receipt of EARLY SHEETS from thc Hritisíi Publishers, by which we are enabled to place ALL OUR REPRINTS in the hands of subscriber*, about as soon its they can be furnished with the foreign copies. Although this involves a very large outlay on our part, we shall continue to furnish the Periodicals at the same low rates as heretofore, viz : For any one of the four Reviews For any two ofthe four Reviews For any three ofthe four Reviews For all four ofthe Reviews For Blackwood's Magazine For Blackwood and three Reviews ¡For Blackwood and the four Reviews Payments to be made in all cases in advance.
