The above Periodicals are reprinted in New
York, Immediately on their arrival by the British
steamers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are faithful copies Of the originals
BLAoKwooD's MAGAZINE being an exact fac-simile
Of the Edinburgh edition.
The widespread fame Of these splendid Peri
odicals renders il needless to say much in their
praise As literary organs, they stand far in ad-
vance Of any works of similar stamp now pub
lished while the political complexion of each is
marked by dignity, candor and sorbearance not
often found in works Of party character.
They embrace the views Of the three great par.
ties in England--Whig, Tory, and Radical
"Blackwood'' and the "London Quarterly" are
Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing: and the
''Westminster," Radical. The "Foreign Quar-
terly" is purely literary, being devoted principally
to criticisms on foreign Continental Works.
The prices of the REPRINTS are less than one
third of those of the foreign copies, and while
they equally well got up, they afford all that
advantage TO the American over the English reader.

EIIIAI. AFFECTION

The following truthful and beautiful paragraphs
we extract from an exchange. The author is not
given:
A dutfu and obedent daughter always makes
devoted and faithful wife. Let no man, as he val
ues his own happiness, marry woman of I'M
filial nature. In spite Of the guile of Iago, there
was much wisdom in his remark TO OtheIlo, when
exciting the Moor 70 suspicion OF Desdemonas in
tegrity, "She has deceived her father and may
thee!"
There is trait OF endearment more pleasant
than the confidlng tenderness of young maiden in
the care and vigilance Of her mother. If she be an
only child, the pleasure with which we coniem-
plate her silent and cheerful acquiescnce in every
maternal dictate, is greatly enhanced When che
sentiment OF love is first awakened in the heart of
such one 1t seems rather TO deepen than to divert
the stream of her filial affection No man should
be so selfish or Sd unwisc rs to desire the essening
OF that pure and holy obedience which is the best
assurance Of his own enduring felicity. Happy is
he who has won for himself the fond love OF a
young creature, whose lie has been guarded by d
mothers prayers, and into whose spirit the gentle
influences Of mothers mind have descended like
dews into the petals Of flower which might else
have faded in the morning Of life.

A YANKEE TRICk

The Hartford Times tells of the device Of n pen-
tlenan, in a neighborinG town last fall. TO fill bis
cellar with frst-rate potatoes at very low price
1t will be recollected that potatoes generally were
not of the best quality, and the price was high
The gentleman gave notice that he had particular
desire 10 get specimen Of the best sort OF potatoes
raised that season. and accordingly offered three
dollars for the best peck that could be emptied into
his ccllar-he being the Judge. The potatoes came
pouring in peck after peck-thosc farmers who had
different sorts bringing peck of each. and Of the
very best of the lot. The gentleman soon found
that he had cellar full of first potatoes: when
he shut his door. and paid three dollars TO the far
mer who had left the best peck according to his
judgement. He had potatoes to sell in the spring 1!
