While it affords light superior to gas camphine,
it is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter. being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this oil that it will not freeze at any de-

ARE You KIND TO HER Are you kind
to her? Think for moment how she has
left everything for you. A home of which
she was the idol-hearts that thought not
they could love too much Smooth her way
with smiles, for many trials are before her.
1t is true that woman lives in the affections.
Sweet, loving words make her heart leap
with the purest joy. She can bear all
things if he whom she has chosen strews
sunlight and flowers around her path in the
shape of kindly expressions and gentle
smiles. The proudest woman that lives,
Graves these, and her heart feeds upon
them even if it be in silent, secret COM
munion.
Are you kind to her? She is your mother!
Look in her care worn face. Those wrinkles
have been planted there since you were
born. Those eyes have faded watching
over you; the cheek has been worn hollow
by the tears your waywardness has caused.
Once how bright and lovely was her face;
but she has given up her beauty, woman's
rare bequeathment, for you. Aye! and
health, ease, comfort, life itself, would she
sacrifice for your good, angel that she is
And are you kind to her? If not, well do
you deserve to have the " eagles pick out
your eyes," Ingratitude, GOODNESS, neglect
these to faithful mother? A monster
with stony heart and murderous hands,
must be he who would thus requite the
love an angel cannot feel. Are you kind to
your mother?

Letter from Hon. Henri Clan.

ASHLAND, Goth July, 1885,
Dear Sir: wish to express to you the qualification
derived on receiving the July number of the Mer-
chants Magazine and Commercial Review, from view
ing your portrait in the beginning, and from reading
your address to your friends at the end of it. When
we feel under obligations to those who have contrib
uted to our information and amusement, we are nat
urally DESTROYS 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
erous readers Cat least you have me, if / may not
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 au
died.
have become quite familiar with the Magazine
and Review, and have no hesitation in expressingmy
humble opinion that it is eminenty entitled to the
public regard and support 1t collects arranges
In good order large amount of valuable statistical
and other information, highly useful not only to the
merchant but to the statesman to the cultvator of
the earth, to the manufactures. to the mariner in
short to all classes of the business and reading COM
munty.
Entertaining this opinion, I am glad that it has
been and hope that it may continue to be, literally
patronized.
Offering you cordial assurances Of my esteem and
regard, am truly your friend and obedient servant

THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
Il AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

I'HE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLlES
Il 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,) AMI
Blackwoods 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
riodicals Of a 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 a 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. 1t 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 it's 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 The Caxtons" and "My New Novel"
(both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsular Medal"
Z" 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
reading of those fascinating tales.
NsS Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to
the publishers. LEONARD SCOTT & CO.

Letter from the Hon. Thomas II. Benton,

WASHINGTON CITY, April TO- 1S49.
hlr. freeman Hunt.-SIR: owe you many thanks
for the opportunities have had read the Merchants
Magazine and have found it in reality to be Maya
zine, and that well replenished. of all the useful
matter which the title would imply, and presented
with fulness and clearness which delights while it
instructs. 1t is in fact, merchants magazine in
the large acceptation of the term-merchants who go
between nations, whose large operations bring many
departments of knowledge and view of the state Of
the world into daily requisition But it is not the
great merchant only, but the of more modest,
but, nevertheless, of most useful operations-the
merchant ofthe interior aso-who will find this ma
gazine to abound with the information the pursuit
of his business and the elevation of the mercantile
character requires Nor is its utility at all confined
to merchants but extends to the legislator and diplo
matist, and to all who charged with managing
the affairs of the nation. For myself have found
it most useful to me in my senatorial labors and
hove been in the habit for many years of Carefully
consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant.
