BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBsCRIBERs!
OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo

and of which "he end is not yet" the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc
cupy middle gI, and between the hasty, disjoint-
ed and necessarily imperfect records of the news-
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 are offered to
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
cratey, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the " London Quar-
tcrly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review Liberal. The
" North British Review owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin,
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
DEATH is conducted by his son-in law DIR. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of tfe very highest order. The "West
minister" though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title of the "For-
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, a union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles Ii has, there
fore, the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best features OF both heretofore
issued

dad PAYS AS MUCH AS ANY ON 'EM.'-
We were not long since mnch amused
by couple of Hoosier girls, who came
on board the steamer -. at the little
town of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. They
had evidently never been thousand
miles from home, and were making their
first trip on a steamboat. The elder one
was exceedingly talkative, and perfectly
free and unconcerned. with regard to the
many eyes that were scanning her move
mehts. The other was of the opposite
turn of mind, inclining to bashfulness.
At dinner our ladies were honored with
a seat at the head of the table, and the
eldest one, with her usual independence,
cut her bread into small pieces and with
her fork re cached over and enrolled each
mouthful in the nice dressing on a plate
of beefsteak before her. The passengers
preserved their gravity during this opera.

that her sister was not very forward in

This was followed by general roar in

supper, and when they left the boat all
hands gave three cheers for the girls of
the Hoosier State.-Cn. Nonpariel.

The SECRET Found OUT.-The follow
ing is an extract from an address, dellv-
cred on the occasion of a Banner presen-
tation by Miss Rees, to Division of the
Sons of Temperance in Georgia:
Gas lady might perhaps complain,
that by your organization you exclude
us from the secrets of your Order. You
group yourselves together-you talk
you plan-you act. No listening ear of
woman is here to catch the words which
fall from your hps-no prying eye to mark
your deeds; all is secret-as you think.
But in spite of you, the secret will out,
and ace ladies kaao,1 1t.
You talk and plan-hut we see the
young man who just now, by his devotion
to his cup, was wrecking all OF good tor
time and all of hope for eternity, ming
ling in your association, safe from ruin
which betided him. The grey-headed
father looks upon his son they saved, and
a smile radiant with the light of Joy, plays
brightly on the old mans countenance.
1--WE see the husband, who stood tremb-
ling upon the verge of the volcano-an-
other step or two and the fearful plunge
had been misunderstanding from his ner-
i.ous position and seeking safety in the
association of your Order, and then the
wife, whose aching heart has long endur-
ed in silence the insanity of its grief, stands
up with the mountain pressure gone, and
links her affection to her sobered husband
These are your deeds. You dry up the
tears of griei, you hush the sigh of the
broken-hearted; you stop the prodigal in
his career-you give light for darkness.
hope for despair, and roll upon the bosom
of society a stream which has healing in
the water. This IS your secret.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE AT RoME.-The
following events are strictly true; About
year ago young girl had formed an
attachment to all artist whom her father
discarded, and sent his daughter to
convent. Before she had entered the
walls, the young lover found means to
communicate to her that he would attend
ia the church at the conclusion OF her
noviciate; and that if she still loved him
and preferred marriage to the tak,nS OF
the veil he would be there TO claim her,
and give her the home and protection
which her own family woMd deny her.
The year rolled slowly away. lhe no.
violate had ended. The profession was
publicly announced; the bells rang mer-
rilv as for bridal; the first flowers were
blooming on the floor of the monastlc
chapel. The cardinal had arrived; the
Young novice, fair as the young moon in
Nav, knelt with her white veil floating
behind her. and her eye glancng eagerly
from face to face in the assembly until it
rested on him, whom for that long and
sad noviciate she had never seen, and
whose presence at this moment assured
06r OF MS IdltUlullGSS III TIC past. HC
service proceeded until the cardinal asked
the usual question as to her willingness
for the life of cloister; she at once de-
clared her unwillingness. The cardinal
was astonished The assembly was
greatly excited. On her being asked for
her reasons, she pointed to the young
man who was present, and said, boldly
"My wish is to be married to that
gentleman
She was the next instant on her knees,
to the cardinal, beseeching him to forgive
her. and to permit the marriage. The
feelings of the cardinal and all the assem-
bly, were deeply moved. The service
ceased. The cardinal declared that she
must not be received into the sisterhood,
as she had herself refused her consent;
he made inquiry, and in the end himself
married the young couple. And thus she
found at once the home and protection
she required, aud the want OF which
would otherwise have consigned her
against her own wishes to the cloister
forever.
