II KOS r n CT u OF THE UNITED
IL States Illustrated.-Under the title Of the
United States illustrated, has been commenced
the publication OF great national work, of very
costly and magnificent description for which the
liberal patronage of the American public is conf
IDENTITY expected. twill appear in parts with such
prompttude that two volumes win be completed
before the close of the present year. These vol
umes will be issued simultaneously one being ex-
clusivey devoted TO eastern and the other 10 wes-
tern subjects. Each part will contain four steel
engravings, from original drawings by eminent
artists, representing either some remarkable view
from the splendid landscape scenery of the coun-
try, or some public edifcc, whose architectural
beauty or historical character eRtites il TO such
commemoration. Ten parts will compose a vol
ume.
The present volume of the western section will
contain, among other illustrations, views Of the
grand and peculiar scenery of the Mississippi
river, from its origin at Iasca Lake down to its
mouth, below New Orleans. In similar manner
the volume of the eastern section will represent
only such subjects from the sea-board States as
most striking and truly American.
But if excellence has thus been aimed al in the
engravings, the literary department also will have
every attention bestowed upon il. No expense
has been spared 10 render the work in this respect
also national monument. Many of the best and
popular writers of the country engaged as
regular contributors and the editorial direction of
the whole has been entrusted 10 the care of Mr..
Charles A. Dana, whose name is sufficient guar
antee that the work will be one OF solid merit, as
well as Of elegance and beauty Each number
viii contain from II TO l6 pages letterpress print
ed in elegant type on splendid 4to paper.
With the last numbers each subscriber or pur-
chaser OF the two volumes, will receive to each
section of the work an allegoric title page, exc
cutcd in high style of art, aud as premium, a
magnificent steel engraving, 36 by 25 inches rep
resenting The Battle of Bunker Hill, from Trun-
bulls great picture, whose superb execution rem
ders it costly ornament, and whose subject will
make il dear 10 every American.
In the anticipation of vast number of subscri-
bers, the price of the work will be put at the fol-
lowing rates, whose cheapness only the largest
circulation can justify: single numbers, each so
cents; single volume, S5; the two volumes, with
the premium plate $40. General Agent for Ma
ryland District of Columbia and vicinity, Mr..

Hean,iful Sentiment.

A man without some sort of religion is at best
poor reurobate, the foot ball of destiny, with no
tie licking him to ingenuity and TO the wonderous
eternity that is within him, but, woman without
it IS even wore---a flame without heat a rainbow
without color, flower without perfume.
man may, in some sort, tie his frall hopes and
honors with weak, shifting ground trackle to his
business of the world but woman, without that
anchor which they call faith is drift ard wreck.
A man may cumsily continue a kind of response
bty or motive, but can find no basis to any 9TH
er system of right action than that of spiritual
faith. A man may craze his thoughts and his
brain to thoughtfulness in such poor harborage as
fame and reputation may stretch before him; but
woman-where can she put her hope in storms
if not in heaven?
And that sweet truthfulness, that abiding love,
that, endearing hope, meowing every scene Of
life, lighting them with pleasant radiance, when
the worlds cold storms break like army with
smoking cannon, what can bestow it all but holy
tie to what is stronger than any army with cannon?
Who that has enjoyed the love of God loving
mother but will echo the thought with energy and
hallow it with tear.
Jean Paul says that lady officer. if she want
ed to give the word halt would do it IN this
strain ''You soldiers, all Of you, now mind,

stand STILL every one of you, on the spot where
you happent to be; don't you hear me ? Halt,

John Randolph OutdOne.

OF the many amusing anecdotes of this eccen-
trio man of Roanoke, we do not believe the fol-
lowing was ever in print:
He was through part of Virginia in which he
was acquainted-during the mean time, he stopp-
ed during the night at an Inn the forks of the
road. The inn keeper fine old gentleman,
and no doubt one of the .trst families Of the Old
Doatinion, Knowing who his distinguished guest
was, he endeayored during the evening to draw
him into conversation, but failed in all his eff
forts. But in the morning when Mr.. Randolph
was ready 10 start, he called for his BILL which, on
being presented, was paid. The landlord still
anxious to have some conversation with him, he
began as follows:
Which way are you travelling, Mr.. Ran
dolph %
'.Slr p said Mr.. Randolph. with look of dis
pleasure.
Il asked" said the landlord, (Which way are
you travelling?
''Have paid you my bill?"
'Yes'
"Do l owe you any thing more 90
ono"
''Well, I'm going just where I please-do yor
understand %
Yes"
The landlord by this time got somewhat excited
and Mr.. Randolph drove off. But, to the land
lords surprise, in few minutes the servant retur
ned to inquire, for his MASTER which of the fork
of the road to take Mr. Randolph not being on
of hearing distance, the landlord spoke at the TOT
of his breath, "NIr. Randolph, you don't owe M
one cent; just take which road you please
1t is said that the air turned blue, with the cur
ses of Randolph
