In referring to the progress of the work so
far, it is not worth while for the publishers to
indulge in much elf-giorifcation. or at least to
do more than reiterate what was said at the
close of the first volume; vet they have cause
for honest congratuIation IN the successful es-
tablishment of ''Putnam's Monthiy's as fixed
fact The character and extent of this success
has been far beyond their most sanguine expec-
tations. They have had the good fortune of en-
listing in the enterprise some of the ablest pens
in the country; and they deem it special cause
for satisfaction, not only that among their reg
ular contributors and earnest co-operators. are
included many OF the most eminent and respec-
ted of our literary men of various positions
apd shades of religious and political opinion
but also that the general management of the
Magazine, and the character of its contents.
have been such as to meet the cordial approval
of large majority of the most judicious and
intelligent readers.
The literary resources of our eshfontbIy,,
now so ample, Will in the coming year, be in
creased and elevated by all induce cements in our
power. With all its present general features,
it is intended that the Magazine should have
and varied attractions for all classes of our
wide circle of readers. Each number will con-
tain one or more entertaining and Instructive
papers, illustrated from original designs, when
such illustrations can add anything to the value
or interest of the text. Popular information on
matters connected with practical science and
the useful arts and manufactures, will form
special feature.

- Pills have ever proved infallible in eradi-
eating any difficulty, and removing all obstruc-

pills have been used for years in the private

alleviation Of suffering from any irregularity,

Pregnant females, or those supposing them
selves so, will not, of course, take these Pills,

this admoniton. Their mildness, however,
would prevent any mischief to health under
any circumstances.

The LONGEVITY OF SLAVES. - The
conpend of the census prepared by Mr..
DeBoW deyotes section to the relative
mortality of the white and black races in
the United States. In referring to this mat
ter, the Charleston Medical Review re-
marks:
con an examination of this table, one
fact stands prominently forth: it is that OF
the greater longevity, both general and ex-
reme. of the black than the white in the
Slaveholding States. This is fact preg-
nant with significance, proving conclusive
iy, as it does, the almost complete freedom
from care, the lightness Of his labor, and
the physical comforts generally enjoyed by
the slave, combine to increase the duration
of his lie, not only beyond that of the la
boring white class, but even beyond the
average Of the white class of all condi-
tions."
But the difference between the two ra-
ces in point of longevity would be still
greater in favor OF the black than is pre-
sented by the table, if we deduct u certain
proportion Of early deaths from the latter,
occurring among the muIattoes, who exist
in large numbers III the cities Of the Slare
States.

EJ- A clergyman who was in the habit
of preaching in different parts of the coun-
try was not long since at an inn, where he
observed horse-jocl1ey trying to take ina
gentleman, by imposing upon him broken
winded horse for sound one. The par
son knew the bad character of the jockey,
and taking the gentleman aside, told him
to be cautious of the person he was dealing
with. The gentleman finally declined to
purchase, and the jockey quite nettled, OBJ
served:
eParson, had much rather hear you
preach than to see you privately interfere
in bargains between man and man in this
way"
slWell," replied the parson, "if you were
where you ought to have been last Sunday,
you might have heard me preach.
"Whcre was that?" inquired the joe
key.
