HOLD E vs.
ILLUSTRATED DOLLAR MAGAZINE.

ILL SIRAIED DULLAR MAGALlNE.
ONCE the death of the protector of this
ID popular Magazine, the property has
passed into the hands of the subscriber,
who will continue to publish it at the pub.
LEGATION Office,
No. IO9 Nassau Street, Ner Fork.
The new volume to be commenced on the
first of January, 1850, will comprise ma
my important Improvements, which, II Is
believed, will render the Magazine one OF
the best Periodicals published in the coun-
try, as it certainly is the cheapest A.
mong these Improvements will be new
and beautiful type, fine caiendercd paper.
a higher order of Illustrations than those
heretofore given, and contributions from
some of the ablest writer's in America. 1t
is the aim of the Proprietor TO publish a
popular Magazine, adapted TO the wants
OF all classes of reading people in the Re
public, which shah be both instructive and
amusing; and free alike from the grossnes
which charactclizes much of the cheap
literature of the day, and from the yapid..
tv of the 50 called " Ladies Magazines. y
The Illustrations will consist of Original
Drawings engraved on wood by the best
Artists.
Portraits of remarkable persons,
ond Jie1cs Of remarkable places.
illustrated by pen and pencil. A stlc'
revision will be exercised that no impIoP.
article or word shall ever be admitted, so
that it may be safely taken by persons OF
the utmost refinement, and read al the lire
side for the amusement or instruction OF
the family circle.
The Review department of the Maya
zine vii contain brief critical notices OF
all the new publications of the day, and
will form complete chronicle of current
literature.
From the business and literary Connec-
tons already established, the best assist
ance that the country can afford will be
secured for completing the plans of the
publisher. and nothing will be wanting
that ample pecuniary resources and watch,
full industry can obtain to make The Mag
azine the Leading Literary Periodical OF
America.
The extremely low rate at which 1t is
published precIudes the hope OF profit, eX'
cept from a circulation greater than that
Which any literary periodical has ever yet
attained but, with the new avenues daily
opening for the circulation of works OF
merit lhc constantly increasing population
OF the country; the cheaPness of the Mag
a2inc, and the superiority OF It's literary
and artistic attractions TO those Of any other
work now issued; the proprietor learlessly
engages in an enterprise which will be
sure 10 benefit the public if il should not
enrich himself The Magazine will be
under the Editorial charge and supervision
Of CHARLES +. BRIGGS,
who has been connected with II from the
beginning.
The Pulpit Portraits, series of Ri.
ographicaI Sketches, accompanied by well
engraved portraits Of Eminent Dlvlnes OF
The American Churches, which have form
ed conspicuous feature of " Holden, "
will be continued in the succeeding No-
umes of the Magazine, and VIII render /.
of peculiar value 10 religious people OF e''
cry denomination.

defeat is more erediiable than success. The
COMPROMISE Bill II IS true, failed, but filled only
when known as this bill The Senate has virtu-
ally passed the bill Alter having defeated IT, II
proceeded TO take up each of its measures sepa-
raiely and as separate bills II passed them. Had
the Compromise passed the effect upon the coun-
tIy would not be changed in single iota' The
course Of the Senate Is clear commentary upon
the political wisdom of Mr.. Clay. After having
permitted itself 10 defeat his bill, its COM
bned wisdom could produce no scheme sn-
perior to lis. And yet the advocates Of the Tn
ion, the political friends Of Mr. Clay, are tainted
with the cry Of failure. Il is manifest attempt
to innict an undue reproach. For our own part,
and we speak the sentiment common to our po-
l'ical friends desire no better scheme than
the bills recently passed by the Senate and now
before the other House Of Congress.

The llolsteiners have marched down upon

Republic has declared that, if, favored by the

During the reign ofPius 1Xth, no execution has
taken place; but now he is called upon to sane
ton the death of six convicts, the Govern
ment is disposed to insist upon the executions,
though adverse to the will of the Pope; the con-
sequence is that the Holy Father finds himself
ina peculiar condition.

TEX AS.

On Wednesday the House of Representatives
passed resolution, rejecting the Texan Bounda-
ry Bill by majority of 46. The House ad.
lourned pending Il motion to reconsider. The
peculiar features Of and the character of the OPP
position to the Bill, we are not able to give. We
have no further comment on the measure. But
unless this measure or one of a similar character,
pass the House, in very short time, wo
may expect something rather more tangible in
the form OF evil than even the ultras will DESIRE
In response to the message of the Governor of
Texas, committee has reported bill to the
Legislature the provision of which is to
raise 5000 troops. Whether this measure will
succeed or fail is question which can be an
swered better by futurity than speculation. The
aspect OF affairs is gloomy in the extreme. If
Texas strike blow, it will meet with general
response, and civil war will have begun-its end
no foresight can detect. This is certainly the
most alarming period Of our history, and we fear
that the sun of our political glory is now well
nigh set. We would hope for other results, but
the predomnance of our fears forbid

There can be no doubt but that a good
wife is great blessing, and, il is also true,
that all wives desire 10 be good. Many,
however, think they can be good wiihou, ex-
ertion. This i. all error. Mental exeriion,
and sometime. sacrifice of feeling is required
But see the reward. The influence Of good
wife is immense. The power OF vile ior
good or evil is Irresistible. Home must be
the seat Of happiness, or it must be forever
unknown A good wife is TO man wisdom
and courage, and strength and endurance. A
bad one is confusion, weakness, discontinue
and despair. No condition is hopeless whel
the wife possesses firmness, decision and
economy. There is no outward prosperity
which can coun,erac, Incidence, extravaganza
and folly at home. No spirit can long endure
bad domestic influence. Man is strong, but
his heart is not adamant. He delights in
enterprise and action but TO sustain him he
needs tranquil mind, and whole heart. He
expends his whole moral force in the conflicts
of the world. To recover his equanmity
and composure, home must be 10 him a place
ofreposc, of peace, of cheerfulness, OF com.
fort, and his soul renews its strength, and
again goes forth with fresh vigor TO encoun-
Ter the labor and troubles Of the world. But
il al home he finds no rest, and is there met
with bad temper, sullenness, or gloom, or is
a.sailed by discomfort, or complaint, or re-
proaches, the heart breaks, the spirits are
crushed, hope vanshes, and the man sinks
into despair
