PREMIUMS TO NEW sURscRIBERs!
OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
~ lutlons among the nations. .of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and OF which 'he end is not yet," the leading peri
odicas OF Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle gr. and between the hasty, disoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatses TO
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered to
subscribers; The following is their list viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views mod
crately though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " "Backwood" and the g London q uar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whig;
and the " Westminster Review Liberal. The
North British Review owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views on any of the grand
departments OF human knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR. Chalmers, and now, since hia
death, Is conducted by his son-in-law, Or. Hnnna,
associated with Sir David Brewster Its literary
character is of the very highest order. The 'West
minister, though reprinted under that title only, ia
published in England under the title of the For
eIgn Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. 1t has, there
fore, the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in one work the best features Of both heretofore
issued. ,-, t

THE HUMAN HEART.

Who that hath cast his eyes upon this
of muscle and tendon,
artery and vein, fibre, chord and valve,
could escape reflection on its delicate
structure, wonderfully protected posi-
ton and elastic action, or without con-
sidering the activity of its motion, the
diversity of its offices, and above all,
the wisdom and goodness that formed
and applied it to its varied uses! View
ed in its mere animal action, how great
are its active energies and varied off
ces! When we consider, too, that the
blood of the whole frame passes through
its ventricles, by its dilation and con
traction within an almost inconceivably
limited period--that its oscillations pro.
duce nearly or quite one thousand
strokes, if a healthy frame, every TWEEN.
ty hours, and that its activity may con-
tinue, in well organized and sonnd
one, for fifty or sixty years;-and when
we may add to these views. the far
greater office which il is esteemed to
sustain, in being the receptacle and pro-
peller ofthe passions, love and hatred,
Joy and sorrow, hope aed despair, graft
tude and revenge, confidence and sus.
picion, courage and fear. and all ofthem
so commingled ,ha, TO those who do not
read their unity of action, they mutual,
ly sustain and qualify each other, as the
united ingredients of some dishes
heighten their relish TO our tastes, and
promote the hcalhfuncss of their &C.
tion on our physical frames. do we not
feel tha, we are wonderfully made!
But the temple which the kind hand
of heaven erected TO dispense these
blessings to our race, by our own way.
wardness has been converted into Pan
demonium, from whence has flowed
forth the evils and pains, the curdIins
bitterness and deep sorrows, which
have visited humanity. 1t has raised
The hand Of brother against brother
children against their parents and par.
ents against their children, state against
state and nation against nation! The
history of mankind marks these evil:
with the finger Of truth, and their chill
dren mourn them in the bitterness Of
sorrow.
Still, may we no, hope, that through
the arrangements of Providence, the
day may come, when that which wa:
intended to be blessing may no longer
be curse--whcn the amenities of life
may reunite nations, its harmonies again
blend families. and love become the
bond of union between all mankind.
