| Fonrth E,ition-Nem Iork, Charles .Scr,bner
Publisher.
The letters which make up this volume we're
written by one Of the editors of the Springfield
Mass. Republican, and were first published in
weekly installmcnts in that journal. They are
divided into three series: Letters to Young Men.
which treat of the Right Start in Life, Female So
,ciety. Manners and Dress. Bad Habits, Poverty,
Food aud Physical Culture Social Duties aud
Privileges, and the RcasonabIess and Desirablcness
Of Religion. Letters to Young Women. which
treat of Dress. the Transition from Girlhood TO
W omanhood, Acquisitions and Accomplishments,
Unreasonable Restraints. Love md Lucrc, the
Use Of Language. lIousewifery and Female Piety.
Aud lastly Letters to Young Married People,
which treat Of the First Duties Of tho Connubial
Relation. the Special Duties Of the Husband and
of the Wife, the Rearing of Children. Separation.
Relations Servants. Home. Social Homes Bless
ings for Daily tse and u Vision Of Life and it's
Meaning
No volume, recently issued from the press, has
met with demand cquang the one under notice,
and we think it richly deserving the success it has
attained The Titcomb Letters give evidence that
IA polished style, deep sensibilty. and glowing i'm
agnaton are not incompatible with plain common
sense. The counscls Of the author are enforced
with all the apparent dignity of age and expert
ence, united with profound and sympathising
appreciation Of the many difficulties that beset the
paths of those to whom life, is still in great part
future.
The publisher has evidenced his appreciation of
the author hy the issue Of one of the most tasteful
and fanl'le,s specimens Of typography we have
ever examined. The book We presume ia for sale
at our book stores --or should be. ~ 1t would un-
doubtedly meet n ready sale.

the slavery question:

that he hos never touched tobacco, in ANY shape
never TASTED ardent spirits, nor been IN theatre
or circus in his lifetime I'VE confess that our
previous notions Of him did not correspond with
what we saw Of him the plpaorm lie was
dressed IN black suit, and M he sst in a chair,
with his hand pressed to bis forehead to mind,
he did not in the least realize our conoep,ian of
the celebrated Tenn i'arson.

\ SrcGEsryE lNCIDENr.--Mr. Robert Morris.
the c,ored lawyer Of this city, recently bargalned
for residence in Caryville, Chelsea. for which he
was to pay 5000. but the fact coming to the ears
of the select white inhabitants of that locality
they scnt to the owner Of the estate remonstrance
against Mr.. Morris settling there. The owner of
the house iclt the force If the remonstrance, and
the result s tina. Mr.. Morris can't have the cs-
tate. The EreHjny Ga2eHe from which we gather
these facts says that the opposcrs OF Mr. Morris
are those who have been most in sympathy with
Kansas. and most forward in movements sympa-
thzing with the oppressed, and opposition from
such comes with bad grace
1t is to be inferred that Mr.. Morris is man Of
some means. and ii so. he must have been sur
prised at the conduct o. the demonstrates, for he
is the individual who declared at the Colorcd Con-
vention at New Bedford that if the colored men
were rich we should the white aristocracy
