While a beautiful sun in its glory is beaming,-

Which into every nook and crevicc is streaming
A beautiful night full oft we are given,
With beautiful stars, and bright silv'ry moon;
Which shine from the armament Of heaven,
Dispelling from earth its darkness and gloom.

That this will be a volume of unbounded popu-
larity is attested by the fact, hat though it has been
announced but a few weeks, the orders are now
over Eight Thousand Copies, and still pouring in
in immense quantities.
The book will, without doubt, create a marked
sensation, as the characters are all taken from real
life, aud many of them now living. No imaginary
beings are introduced to give effect or to finish a
picture. Real Life furnishes enough examples of
Heaven-born virtue and low-brcd vice, for our gif-
ted author to appeal to the field of Imagination for
heroes. The volume is by a person of education
and talent, a master of pure language, and written
with q power and directness which cannot fail to
command Immediate attention, and will at once
create an intense interest as to the characters, as
well as to the ~incognito who Yields a pen which
fairly glows with brilliancy and genius. A distin-
guished critic who has read the manuscript has
pronounced it ga volume of remarkable power
