VIOLET OR THE Cross AND THE CRowY.
BY Mrs. NJ. ] Mcintosh, authoress
of Two Lives, oil to Seem and to Be,
Charms, and Coun er Chains, &C.,
This book is for sale at Adams Book
Store.
Take heartl who bears the cross to-day,
Shall wear the crown tomorrow.
In this book the fair author has en-
deavored to wri e the good and The
beautiful, to instruct the mind, improve
the heart, as well as amuse and interest.
The scene is laid on the shore Of New
Jersey. The wild scenery Of the barren
coast, the habits of wilder wreckers who
inhabited it, are well portrayed. The
stranding of the vessel, the deliverance Of
the child, the sole survivor of the wreck;
the sympathy awakened by it, in the
breasts of the hardened Van Dyke. and
his more human spouse the characters
of the eccentric, but warm hearted DR..
Jameson, the honest kindly Mrs. Wild,
the unexplainable love of Mr.. Ross,
the father. for the founding child. the
struggle in the mind of Devereux. the
titled Englishman between his love and
pride, all these are skillfully delineated.
But the GROWING charm of the book is
the character of Violet. Her unsel6sh
love for her coarse, reputed parents, the
struggle between her feelings of duty
toward those she supposed TO be her pa
rents, and her love for her adopted faith
er. are admirably described.

BLAcKwooD's MAGAZINE AID THE FOUR
Recommendations by Leonard
Scott & Co, No. 81 Gold Street. New
York.
AT this period, so near the close of
the old, and commencement of the new
year, we take the occasion 10 call the
attention of our readers to the beautiful,
and economical reprint Of the above
named British Periodicals. They are
the standard of Modern English litera-
ture, aud are the best expositors of the
opinions of the English public upon the
leading political. and literary questions
of the day. They are the most valuable
for being often antagonistic to each other,
being controlled by The leading writers
of the three great political parties. and
representing the sentiments of the Wing,
Tory and Radical. The contributors
are unexcelled by any living writers,
and they form a library in themselves,
which no scholar Of ordinary intelligence
can read habitually for one year, without
obtaining a better acquaintance with the
literature, the PHILOSOPHERS, politics and
existing stale of European affairs and
nations. than most men acquire in a life
lime. The Edinburg Review contains
critical reviews. and biographical essays.
and is Wing in its politics. The London
Quarterly is a staunch advocate Of con
servai;sm, while the Westminster Re-
view is a most able organ Of the progress
i've party. The North British. unites
high literary excellence, and with the
especial advocacy of the Free Church,
and Blackwood contains the highest class
Of fiction, reviews with the keenest satire,
and is the strongest pillar of the tory
party.
The publishers offer extraordinary in
ducements to new subscribers for the
terms we refer to the advertisement in
another column.) These together with
the present low rate Of postage render
the present, a most favorable opportu-
nifty 10 subscribe.
