THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

FARMERS GUIDE.
| r EONARD SCOTT & Co, No. "a Gold street
| IL Ne,o 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 valuable Agri-
| cultural work, called the
/" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND Practical
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &c.. assisted
by JOHN 2. 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 |, 400
pages, with l6 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 incaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents EACH or IS for
the entire work in numbers, (which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-pubIished are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
IHE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
THE NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Free Church),
The WEsrMIssTER REVIEW QLiberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion ofther contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.
BlackiUood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher NORTH maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of (which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after IL has been issued by Nessrs. Scot
&, Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

MY EIhD.
BY FANNY FORESTER.

Ere last years moon had left the sky,
A birding sought my Indian nest,
And folded, oh so lovingly!
Her tiny wings upon my breast.
From morn till evenings pdrrie lnge'
In wearisome helplessness she lice
Two rose leaves, with a silken fringe,
shut softly on her starry eyes.
There's not in Ind lovelier bird;
Broad earth owns not happier nest;
Oh God thou hast fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall rest!
This beautiful, mysterious thing,
This seeming yisitant from heaven,
This bird with the immortal wing,
To me-to me thy hand has given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood its crimson hue, from mine
This life which have dared invoke,
Henceforth is parallel with thine.
A silent awe is in my room
tremble with delicious fear;
The future, with delight and gloom,
Time and eternity are here.
Doubts-Lopes, in eager tumult rise;
Hear, oh my God one earnest prayer
Room for my bird in Paradise,
And give her angel plumage there!
The Literary echo, and Pawcatuck advertiser. [volume] (Westerly, R.I.) 1851-1854, 1852-11-11
WAIT FOR THEE.

The hearth is swept, the fire is bright,
The kettle sings for tea;
The cloth is spread, the lamps are light,
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now | wait for thee.
Come home, love, home-thy task is done !;
The clock ticks listeningly,
The blinds are shut the curtain down,
The warn chair to the freside drawn,
Thy boy is on my knee.
Come home. love, home-his deep fond eye
Looks round him wistfully,
And when the whispering winds 60 by,
As if thy welcome step was nigh,
He crows exultingly;
In vain-he finds the welcome vain,
And turns his glance on mine
So earnestly that yet again
His form unto my heart strain
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task is done-we miss thee here;
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No heart will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart no listening ear,
Like these will wait thee home.
Aha! along the crisp walks fast
That well-known step doth come;
The bolt is drawn, the gate is past,
The babe is wild with joy at last
A thousand welcomes home!
