THANKsGIvING.-To-day is the day
that has been recommended BY the Governor OF
this State, to be observed day of general fast
ing and prayer, and we are glad to notice that the
same day has been appointed by the Governors of
some seventeen other States, thus making it al
most a day of National Thanksgiving, which we
think it should be. 1t is is time hallowed custom
-one that has followed through the history of our
country from its earliest settlement, and may we'll
continue to be observed as one of the landmarks,
from which to trace back the true boundaries of
civil and religious liberty which encompassed the
early Pilgrims. We trust that to-day may be OBJ
served by our citizens in the true New England
manner.

From the Editors Preface
A man may not only ''take his own life," BY
writing his Autobiography, without committing
feto de Sc, but may carry himself into future time
by producing book which the world will moi
willingly let die. This is what Mr.. Robert Houdin,
the greatest artist in what is called COnuring has
lately done in the remarkable book Confidence
dun Prestigiteur faithful translation of which is
here presented to the American reading public
The work has had the greatest success in Europe
from its lively style well as the various informa
ton it 0ntains, historical and philosophical On
the practice and principles of slght-of-hand, and
the other details, mental as well as mechanical
which unite to make perfect the exhibition OF
White Magic, the antipodes of what our forefathers
knew, prosecuted, and punished as the Black Art.
From the Westminster Reciep
''Without any sarcastic intention, we might show
that the Conjurer really of greater
ability than many successful author On the
whole we can recommend these Memoirs of Robert
Houdin's as pleasant reading"
