NTASON'S PATENT PURIFIED
M Sperm OIL

This oil, for brilancy, durability, and purity
light and for lubrcatng purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works of watch the most ponde-
rous machinery, surpasses any oil now known.
1t is warranted not to gum, being entirely deprived
of that substance, which seriously impedes the
pid movement of all kinds of machinery; and for
burning it is cheaper and better than any oleagnous
substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas campbne,
it is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this oil that will not freeze at any de-
gree of cold known within the limits of the United
States; having thereby in this in every other par
ticular an advantage over the best sperm oil
used
After devotng many years in experimenting with
the various oils for the purpose of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated, the undersigned
assures the public that he has succeeded in producing
the ne plus ultra of oils. He offers it as superior
to any known oil in the world, for the purposes OF
burning and lubricating, and invokes the scientific
of all countries to test and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it is the finest oil
ever offered for sale

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES

l. AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church.
The Westminster Review, (Liberal,) and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory.)
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, Notwithstanding the com
petition they encounter from American Pc
radicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectics ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. It is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains its ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine. and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States Such works
as sc The Caxtons'' and ''My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
f" The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint Of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest

"rHE 1NFIDEL MOTHER. )"
By FANNY FERN.

Can it be! can you look back into the
depths of those clear, blue eyes, that seek
yours in such confding innocent trust; can
you deck those dimpled limbs, " fsarfully
and wonderfully made?" can you watch
with him the first faint streak Of light, that
ushers in another hapy day? can yeu paint
out to him the gold and purple sunset glory ?
can you look upward with him to the shiu-
ing host? or place in bis eager hand the
field of flowers that bend their dewy eyes
with grateful thanks and never name "Our
Father!"
When at dead Of night you watch beside
his sick couch; when you hush your every
breath to listen to his panied means; when
every gust of wind makes your cheek grow
pale; when you turn with trembling hand
the healing drops; when every tick of the
clock seems beating against your heart,
when the little pallid face looks beseeching-
ly into yours, for the "help" you cannot
give; oh where can you turn the suppliant
eye, if you see not the " Great Physician ?"
When health slowly returns, when the eye
brightens, and the red colors lip and cheek;
when the vacant chair is again filled; when
loving arms in playful glee twine around
your neck comes there from that woman's
heart of thine no burst of grateful thanks
to Him who notes even the sparrow's
fall?
Suppose Death comes! You fold away
the little useless robes; you turn with q
filing eye from toys and books and paths
those little feet have trod; you feel ever the
shadowy clasp of little hand in yours;
you turn heart-sick from the happy mothers,
who number no missing lamb from their
Hocks; sunny ringlet, rosy cheek, or
piping voice, gives yourheart death pang.
You walk the busy street, and turn your
head involuntarily when a little strange
voice calls 'tMother!' Oh d! where can you
look for comfort, if you believe not that the
"Good Shepherd folds your lamb to His
loving breast?
There is perfdy at your household hearth!
There are broken vows, which you may not
breathe to human ear! There is treachery
repaid for trust! Childhood looks ON with
sad wonder. You must 60 backward and
cast the mantle of evasion over the moral
deformity. Whence shall strength come to
your slender shoulders to bear this heavy
cross! How silence the ready tempter's
voices Where shall all those warm affec-
tions be garnered up? Gf not in heaven.)
Oh! YOU have no anchor! no rudder or
compass! Your little bark is adrift, at the
mercy of every pitiless gale! The sea is
dark and fearful, the pillows mountains
high, the sky black with darkness, if you
turn from the Great Pilot!

Dear Sir: wish to express to you the qualification

your address to your friends at the end of it. When
we feel under obligations to those who have contrib.

urally desirous to possess knowledge of them of
their appearance, of the features of their counten
ance and Of the character and habits of their mind
which we can acquire. You have placed your mum.

speak for them) under those obligations; and the
number of your valuable work now before me, in
some degree satisfies the desire to which have alu.

merchant, but to the statesman to the cutvator of
the earth, to the manufacturer, to the mariner in

Entertaining this opinion, am glad that it has
