certainly the best cyclopeda which has ever been
printed in America The list of contributors in
cludes the of the most distinguished literary

the discovery of tn Continent to the close OF te ht
sion Of the Thirty Fifth Congress BY JOHN PATTEN, A.

This volume is intended to occupy the middle
ground between our elaborate histories and the

there is no deficiency. 1t seems to be carefully
written from the best authorities, and is presented
to the reader in style of Typography which is
very much in its favor.

From the author:
UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN MAIL STEAMSHIP LINE AND
lngton December, 1859. New York: J. a; Hasbrouck
Co., Printers ia and 176 Pearl street. 1860.
We regard this an extremely valuable contr l.
button to department of facts, which at the pre-
sent moment is too little regarded in this country
the exact condition of the unfortunate aggregate
of communities comprehended in the name of Next
CO. From a thorough knowledge of the people
and the resources of that country, its agricultural
mineral and commercial wealth-lost sight of here
| but not in England-which residence of nearly
twenty years has conferred, the intelligent author
is particularly well qualified to impart the impor
tant information which is embodied in the bool
| before US. This volume presents such measure:
as, in the Judgment of Mr.. Butterfeld, will mos
|
newal of the mutually beneficial relations formerly
subsis;ing between the two countries. 1t is worl
for the study of statesmen and legislators as well a
| merchants.

TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
Clancy the man stripped stark naked of ever,
thing in the world except an old pair of trouser
and shirt, for decency's sake, without even
name to him, and dropped down in the middle
Hoborn or Piccadilly. Would you go up to hir
then and there, and lead him out from amongst tn
cabs and omnibuses, and take him to your ow
home, and feed him, and clothe him, and stand b
him against all the world to your last sOverelg
and your last leg of mutton? If you wouldn't d
this, you have no right to call him by the sacre
name of friend If you would, the odds are tina
he would do the same by you, and you may cour
yourself rich man. For reckon that,were frlen(
ship expressible by, convertible into, curreI
coin of the realm, one such friend would be wort
to man at least 100000. How many million
aires there in England? | can't en- guess
but more by good many, fear, than there al
men who have ten real friends But friendship is Mt
so expressible or convertible. 1t is precior
than wisdom; and "wisdom cannot be gotten tt
gold, nor shall rubies be mentioned in compariso
t thereof Not all the riches that ever came out
earth and sea are worth the assurance of one sue
9 real, abiding friendship in your heart OF hearts.
