PRIDK AND PREJUpIcE: By Miss Anstea.-
Messrs. Wilkins, Carter q Co, of Boston, have
published this delightful work in their "Home
Library Of Entertaining Books" The charac-
ter of this work is quite different from that of
another work published IN this Library" Jane
Eyre; but, in our opinion, there is much greater
talent shown IN the quiet style of Miss Austen,
than in the labored efforts of the author of Jane
Eyre. Miss Austen throws an interest around
the scenes and characters of ordinary life, and
the reader feels refreshed after perusing one Of
her works. Sir Walter Scott, said of heI: "thst
young lady has talent for describing the in
Movements and feelings, and characters of ordi-
nary life, which is TO me the most wonderful
ever met with"

"ss WhsssseA sssesf."
We suppose that all are familiar with the story
of the school boy, who whistled during school
hours, and, on being questioned, declared that 1t
was not he who whistled. but that IT "whistled
ITSELF" We have been reminded Of this story
by the remarks Of some who say it is not ne
cessary to do any thing to promote the cause Of
Emancipation-that slavery has the sentiment
of the civiised world against it, and in good
time will abolish ITSELF Such persons say, in
justification Of their inactivity, that slavery
abolished itself in Pennsylvania and other
States without any effort on the part Of the
friends of Emancipation; that when the time
came the evil passed away without an effort;
that all exertions 20 abolish slavery tend only to
retard its abolition.
Now, to return to the boy with whom we be-
gan, We must confess that we have always been
incredulous in respect TO the seIf-whistling.-
Still the thing is not impossible. The muscles
Of the mouth may have determinedto put them
selves in the proper position, and the breath may
have resolved to emit itself in proper quantities
through the aperture formed for it, without any
agency on the part OF tho boy. Weare willing
10 admit all this Tor the sake OF argument; but,
al 'he same nme' we must De permitted 10 ex-
press our doubts as TO the propriety Of estab-
fishing this as precedent. We fully believe
that those who wish 1t to whistle itself must
help it a little. We are sceptical enough to
think that long time will elapse before the au-
ditory nerve VIII be again blessed with another
specimen OF this self-whistling.

Close Of the Bird Volume.

The present No. closes the third volume Of
the Bugle. Its life has been-as has that of
all reform papers-one Of toll and conflict
1t came into existence amid the commotion Of
the moral elements, and we trust tina, that ex-
is,ence will be preserved until the Bow of
Peace shall span the armament of Freedom,
unless some more efficient worker shall APP
pear to take its place.
Tomorrow is our N~ew-year's day and as
we close the record of the anti.slavery histo-
ry Of the pas. year, we feel that although
discouragements and difficulties have envi-
roned our path, we have much for which 10
be thankful, much to cheer US on. At the
commencement of the present volume, the
advocates Of slavery were striving TO compel
Mexico 10 submit to their behests. That
war has ceased and we believe that it's results,
instead of strengthening are weakening the
power that controls and directs this govern
ment. The death-like lethargy that twelve
months since prevailed in our midst is being
broken the people are awakening from thelI
sleep and the snap Of chain links, the sun
dering of letters that resounds throughout
the entire of Europe, is like the battle charge
to the awakening sleepers here, but a death
knell in the ears of the oPpressors.

The HOMESTEAD JOURNAL, of this place,
thinks that it "would be more nice than wise,
more holy than righteous" for US to refuse
to do a little evil (vote under the Constitu-
tion) in order to accomplish a great good (dis-
solve the Union.) Perhaps SO; though we
have always been taught that the end does
not saactify the means, and that 1t can never
be right to do wrong. And we think too,
we caa see a great difference between paying
saxes to an unrighteous government because
we cannot help it, and voluntarily becoming
a part Of that government. 1t is not sinful
to give your purse to a robber; but it would
be to join his band. and promise to abide by
its laws, even though done with the hope of
converting its members, or destroying the
organization.
