BEAUTIFUL SENrIMEsT.-1ke Marvll,
in his 'Reveries of Bachelor" thus
writes "A man without some sort OF re-
lipion is at best poor reprobate, the foot
ball Of destiny, with no tie linking him to
;n6nitv and Of the wondrous eternity thst
is beg,n with him bu a woman without

rainbow without color, flower without
perfume. :. q,
"a man may, in some sort, tie his frail
hopes and honors, with weak shifting
ground-tackle, to business, or to the world !;
but W. man without that anchor which
they call Faith, is adrift and a-wreck A
man may clumsiy continue kind of moral
responsibility, out of his relations to man
kind; but woman, in her comparatively
isolatel sphere, where affection and not
purpose, is the controlling motive, can find
no basis for any system ofright action, but
that of spiritual faith A man may craze
his thoug ght, and his brain, to trustfullness
in such poor harbors as Fame and Reputa-
ton may stretch before him; but woman
where can she put her hope in storms
if not in heaven;
"And that sweet trustfulness--that
abiding lovc--that enduring hope, mel
lowing every page and scene Of life, Light
Ing them with the ploasantest radiance,
when the worlds storms break like an al
my with smok ng cannon--what can bestow
it all, but holy soul-tie to what is above
storms, and to what is stronger than an ar
my with cannon; Who that has enjoyed
the love of Christian mother, but will
echo the tho't with energy, and hallow it
with a tear ~

Dasuerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by

z EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1880, twenty-four Portraits and BioEraphi-
cal Sketches Of American citizens W no have become
lusrious in the service OF the country Every por.
ton OF the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF Tho Re-
public. s.igH
Mr.. Brady hasbeen many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting PORTRAITS National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the Accomplishment. Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenancc.
The drawings and engravings OF DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste TO be folly
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, by % inches, rade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de-
partments Of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument to the great mon OF the Republic. whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory or
the nation We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend OF our glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendsbe an
undertaking, that It's publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llustrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly tsrts i..f
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond tho reach OF most o citizens the publish
have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price, They have, therefore,
