Four bladed, the handle of pearl
And great black words on the wrapper said:
For the darlingest little girl
was glad! Oh yes but the crisom blood
To my young cheek came and went'
And my heart thumped wondrously pit a pat,
But did mt know what it meant.
One night he said must jump in his sled.
For the snow was falling fast;
/ was half afraid, but he coaxcd and coaxed,
And he got me on at last.
Laughing and chatting in merry glce,
To my home his course he bent,
And my sisters looked on each other and smiled
But knew not what it meant.
The years passed on, and they touched his eye
With shadow of deeper blue;
They gave to his form manlicr grace
To his cheek swarther hue.
We stood by the drearily ripping brook
When the day was almost spent,
His whispers were soft as the lullaby;
And-now know what it meant

The great and important events-Religious, Po-
litical, and Miltary-now agitating the nations of
the old world, give to these publications an inter
est and value they never before possessed. They
occupy middle ground between the hastily writ
ten news-items, crude speculations, and flying ru-
mors of the newspaper and the ponderous Tome of
the Historian, written long after the living inter
est in the facts he records shall have passed away.
The progress of the War in the East occupies
long space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised whether of friend or foe and all
short comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters
from the CRIMEA and from the BALTIC in
Blackwood's Magazine. from two of its most pop
ular contributors, give more ineligible and re-
liable account of the movements of the great bel
ligerents than can elsewhere be found
These periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great Britain-Whig, Tory
and radical,-but politics forms only one feature
of their character As Organs of the most pro-
found writer's on Science, Literature, Morality and
Religion, they stand as they ever have stood un-
rivalled in the world of letters, being considered
indispensable to the scholar and the professional
man. while to the intelligent reader of every class
they furnish more correct and satisfactory re-
cord of the current literature Of the day, through
out the world than possibly be obtained from

The HEAD OF THE MIssIssIrpI.-Henry II.
Sehoolcraft, L L. d., has enjoyed the reputa-
ton in Europe and America, with the learned
and unlearned, as being the first man who
traced the great Mississippi to its fountain
head. The Minnesota Historical Society, or
at least some of the members of that Society
deny the right of Mr.. Schoolcratt to the dis
tinguished honor which he has long enjoyed.
They contended that Jean n. Nicolet first
traced the Mississippi to its source, although
the exploration was not attempted till after
Schoolcrat's discovery had been pubched to
the world. The latter fixed the head Of the
Mississippi at Itasca Lake, and reported that
the Lake was fed by pure springs gushing
from the hills around it. Two years after
Schoocraft visited the lake, the patient un-
wearyng Nioollet traced the river to the lake
surveyed it, found several streams epmtying
into it, and followed them to their origin
One of them-the principal one-it is now
contended is the Mississippi river and as Nj
collet traced ito its origin, he ofcourse is en-
titled to the honor of being the first white man
who thoroughly explored the Mississippi river
