may own is inferior to others that w'ii oe mere,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have

that it behooves you to gallantly enter the ist OF
competition: if defeated honorably, and the high
character Of the Judges is guarantee tnat you

CALIFORNIA.


CALIFORNIA.
ryvTIE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
a6ed to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York To San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants OF travel 10 California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous TO go out, TO sell tickets for
through passages from Panama IN advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence of fever ut Rio de Janeiro af the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impalience Of
passengers in going forward, against me advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the snip
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to- San Fran

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.


FARMERS GUIDE.
r EONARD SCOTT g. Co., No. 81 Gold sire 4
il Ntw York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
(" FARMER 8 GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcA AL
AGRicULrURE,"
By HENRY STEPHENS, +. II. s., OF Edinburgh au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm, &c., &C.; assisted
by john p. NoRToN, M "A, New Haven Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | ,40O
pages, with l8 or 90 splendid steel engravings
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 each, IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
IHE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative /,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church),
The WEsrMINsrER REVIEW Liberal
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
jects. IL is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Blackpood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher NORTH maintains it's ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from thu
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabes
written for that magazine, and first appearing il
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, ;" "The Green Hand, and other serials
of which numerous rival editions issued by tn,
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Blackwood, after IL has been issued by .Mesrs. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of thai
Magazine may always rely on having the e1iies
reading Of these fascinating tales.

worth, on moderate estimate, two cents, nine

Of cent less than it processes to be.
word may be added as to the probability of
the discoloration of the coin by wear, which has
been alleged or predicted, perhaps in conse-
quence of the appearance, in some of the early
issues, of pieces which had been tarnished by
oxidation. Upon this point we have before us
the experience of Prussia, Saxony, Hanover,
Sweden, and some other European States whose
dollars (haters) are Of the same alloy and are
known to maintain good silver color after
many years use. The siiVer plate of some parts
Of Germany is also of the same quality.

, LIVE FOR SoMETHING.-Thousand of men
breathe, move and live-pass off the stage of
life, and are heard of no more. Why? They
did not partake of good in the world, and none
were blessed by them none could point to
them as the means of their redemption; not q
line they wrote, not n word they spoke, could
be recalled, and so they perished: their light
went out in darkness, and they were not re-
more than insects of yesterday viii
you thus live and die, oh man immortal? Live
for something! Do good, and leave behind you
a monument of virtue, that the storms of time
can never destroy. Write your name by kind
ness, love and mercy, on the hearts of thou
sands you come in contact with, year by year,
and you will never be forgotten. No. your
name, your Deeds will be as legible on the
hearts you leave behind as the stars on the
brow Of the evening. Good deeds will shine as
brightly on the earth as the stars of heaven
