sAEsTAIN'S MAG ZINE.
OFFER EXTRAORDINARY!

The high position which SAnrAIS's MAG
AziNE has assumed in regurd to It's literary
character, has, we believe, never been qges-
toned. No American, and 10 European
magazine has ever arrayed in its support
more accomplished corps of contribulors.-
Minds Of the highest order have, from the
| first, been employed to write for it. With n
view, however, to draw forth, for the use of
their readers, articles of still greater value,
the prOprietors have determined, in addition
10 the present outlay for literury contribu-
tions, TO offer the sum of
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
rOR TEN PRIZE ARTICLES;
To be published monthly I'LL the series is
completed. This offer is entirely different
from the usual schemes bearing the saine
name. Those schemes generally propose an
apparently high price for few stories, with
out putting any limit upon the length, and
claiming as gratuitous all that do not gain
prize. Thus they often, under the appear
nnce of liberality, are only lotteries to secure
a large amount of matter at a small price,
Thus, also, their Iroprietors I'LL out their
periodicals from montlI 70 month with stories
of intermnable length, the uuthor who will
offer tho longest story, being pretty sure to
gain the prize. in our plan, ON the contra
ry, the writers are limited as 10 space, no
article being accepted which exceeds u very
moderate length. We want the BEST ar
ticles, not the longest. Moreover, all Mc
pieces c'iich DO NOT gam prize are 10 be re-
turned 10 The authors, unless otherwise ncgo-
tiated Tor. ln other words, the publishers
offer TO pay tor each of these special articles
the sum OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Their object is 10 secure, besides their
usual variety and excellence of matter, u
cries of monthly articles entirely superior
to any thing heretofore published in the
magazines. They have determined to place
their magazine, in respect 10 its literary
character, beyond the reach of competition,
The pieces offered in competition must
be presented by the first Of April, 1851
They may he tales, essays, or articles of a
miscellaneous character, according TO the
taste or Judgment Of the writers, but must
be on subjects of general interest, must be
of II character suited TO interest the greal
mass of readers, must contain something
striking and likely to urrcst attention, and
must, moreover, he of moderate length
say about SIR or eight magazine pages.
In selecting from the articles offered, the
proprictors will he governed by the decision
Of committee of competent and disinter,

A FACT FOR FARMERs.-Dr. r. T. Bald
win has recently made public the result of
several years investigation aud experiments
upon manures and the various ways of fer
iilizing the soil. lie states that the best and
speediest way TO fertilize any soil, is to cover
il over well with straw, bushes or any raw
material, so as completely 10 shade it. The
surtace of the earth thus being made cool,
dark, damp, aud close, soon undergoes n
chemical process like putrefaction, and be-
comes highly fertilized. This plan of fer
tilizing, he says, may be applied with success
TO any soil whatever, no mutter how poor,
and the result will be astonishing.

Thoughts of beauty--things OF might

And thought earth's greatest blessing, fame.

Bcnevslencs,


A benevolent man was Absalom Dcss-
At each and every tale OF distress
He blazed right up like q rockets;
He felt for all who meath poverty's smart
Were iated to bear lfes toughest part
He felt for them in his inmost heart,
But never felt in his pocket.
lie didn't know rightly what was meant
By the Bibles promised four hundred per cent
For charitY's donation;
But he acted as il he thought railroad stocks
And bonds secure beneath earthly locks,
Were better, with pockets brim full of rocks,
Than heavenly speculation. 81.
Yet MI said he was an excellent man;
For the poor he'd preach, for the poor he'd plan
10 better them always willing;
But the oldest man who had heard him pray
And preach for the poor in pitiful way,
Could hardly remember him rightly to say,
Mr.. Bess had Ger given shilling.
Oh, an excellent man was Absalom Bess,
And the world threw up its hands to bless
Whenever his name was mentioned;
But he died one day, he died, and oh I!
He went right down to the shades below,
Where all are bound, fear, 10 go,
Who are only good intcntioncd.

The ATTEMPT TO introduce the religions
element as the root of things, is the nucleus
OF all the conflicts around us. We are trv-
ing to answer the question, shall the great
conscience rule all parts of our character or
not! Surgery upon the body polite sets the
whole land a-howl, and no ether has VET
been discovered potent enough to make the
patient insensible to the process. Every
body admires tho feckered clouds as
they sail through the sky sun-gilt, but when
they rain, then come curses SO do men
greet Truth endeayoring to become concrete.

TnE CiRcuLATIoS OF THE BipLE.--In
an article by DR.. Adams In the curren, num-
ber of the Christian Review, we find the
following interesting cts:-" Ten times as
many Bibles have been printed since eight
teen hundred and four, the year when the
British and Foreign Billie Society was or
ganized, as existed in all the previous centu-
ries of the world together This statement
is not based on loose conjecture. The libra
ry of the late Duke of Sussex, containing a
copy of nearly every edition of the Bible
since the invention of the art of printing,
furnished important data in authen;icating
this calculation. II is computed that from
the time of the Reformation TO the organiza-
ton OF the British and foreign Bible Socie-
Is, (l80i, there were in existence between 3
and millions of Bibles, and these in some
forty different languages. Since that time,
the beginning of organized effort for the
spread of the Scriptures, more than 30, 600, :
coo of Bibles and Tes,aments have been put
in circulation, in more than one hundred and
sixty languages; and this in addition TO all
that has been accomplished by private enter
prise. A pewer press striking off 1900 cop
les of the New Testament in n single day. is
no trifliDg thing in this world of ours. Fii-
iy years ago the Bible was translated into
languages spoken by about two hundred
millions. To-day the same book may be
read by more thnn six hundred millions ol
the earth's population.
