conspicuous and authoritative reatses OF juris-

From the Ns,p York Evening Post.
Little & Brown, of Boston, to whose enterprise
the reading public has often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish. by subscription, series Of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This Sc
res will contain all the authoritative decisions of
the House of Lords, the Courts of Equity the Privy
Court, the Queens Bench, the Exchequer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession are assured that this series will be
the most complete of any reports now published.
A careful examination of the Jurist and Laso Jour-

important cases are here reported which arc not
found in the contcmporaneous reports of Mceson &

SHAsSosDALE SPRINGS Va, August 30.
A soft, hazy twilight fills our cabin with an
almost palpable atmosphere of golden purple
breeze creeps through the trees around, sway
ing them to and fro In the rich light till II al
most seems rs IL the foliage was smiling and
murmuring together, devising some pleasant
means of enjoyment TO those within.
We have found occupation for our eyes the
last few moments gazing on as lovely picture
as the imagination of poet or painter ever con
ceived. A beautiful child was leaning over the
balcony below our window, resting one hand
upon it holding pipe, and with the other sha-
ding her large blue eyes TO look afoer brilliant
bubble which she had just set floating overhead
The bubble itself seemed hardly more frail The
inmost leaf of the rose has the soft colorng
that warmed her lovely cheek, whilst her fair
hair, of golden hue, fell round her shoulders
like veil woven of the starlight SO light, so
graceful did she look, that we expected she
would suddenly spread pair of hitherto invis-
ible wings, and vanish from our gaze
But the bubble burst, and the little creature
started and let fall the pipe Il lay broken at
her feet, and she few, in tears, 10 conhde her
first grief to her mother
Ah, sweet child many radiant hope in after
life, sent from thy heart into the sunny world

We have Just completed the pesusal Of Miss
BREMER's last work. To benefit mankind seems
to be the unceasing object ofthis gifted woman
The book before us teaches great moral les
son, and that is, that man should extract from
suffering and disappointment the elements of
moral growth. This lesson is taught in most
effective and impressive manner. Indeed, that
which recommends the writings of Miss BREMER
are the moral elements which they contain
Their pure and elevated tone Of feeling--tber
dignity of sentiment, and the lessons of high
toned resolve which they teach Her books
are no light breathings thrown of without ef-
fort for the amusement OF herself or friends
no airy bubbles Of the BRAIN gIitterug with mo-
msntnry hues, and then passing away and seen
no more--but they nre the grave, sincere, and
earnest growth Of pure and hi hi gifted
mind in the ripe fullness of its powers. II IL
these elements which commend her works TO
10 many minds for the number of those who
can apprehend moral truth is fortunately far
greater than that of those who do not

The of human wrstch edness.
We know that Miss BREmER has reaped, in
no scanty measure, that harvest OF grateful ae-
acknowledgement which is due To those who have
laid the offering Of their genius upon the aitnr
OF truth. Her fame is the re erentiai tribute OF
the world TO those genuine recordings of low
ing heart, which even the most worldly feel to
be holy. We know that many spirits have found
strength, and many despsiring ones hope, in her
writings--that it has awakened new energy IN
bosoms that sorrow had benumbed, and sent tte
sunshine Of peace into many ben'ghted heart
