ELEGANT srANnAnn WORKS.

Among the handsomest books when .ne
season has produced must DO reekeheo 'ne
new "Knickerbocker" edition OF the wofks OF
Washington Irving, published by G. P. Put
thu, f.r been issued, WoVert's ROOst, and The
Sk,teh BOOK. They are beautifully printed,
on a clear, broad-margined page; illustrated
in the most charming manner, and bound in a
stvle of rich and ohaste simplicity which suits
well with their contents.
The first volume has for its frontispece an
engraved likeness of Irving taken from Stuart
Newton's admirable painting Of him, the one
in which he is shown in q furred cloak This
picture was painted in London, in 1920, and is
the finest ever made of Irving. The whole
external appeara nee and finish OF the volumes
is in tasteful keeping with the character Of
the author and his works. Their quiet ele.
ganes adapts them equally to the drawing

Nothing is more common than to hear peo-
pie ascribe the mislortunes and calamities of
life to bad luck, and credit their comforts
and enjoyments to good luck, as though these
things were casual and did not depend upon
the discreet or indiscreet conduct of those
who experience them.
five look at this matter fairly we shall be
convinced that our good and bad luck most
generally come through our own agency;
and that we are, in great measure, left to
choose our own fortunes, so far as this matter
is concerned. The faithful discharge ofknown
duties with due restraint upon our baser pas
sions, seldom fails to produce good luck, while
Incidence, extravaganza and the lack of pro-
bity and good will to our fellows are almost
certain precursors of bad luck. And even
though mans crops may grow from the ex-
uberant bounty of nature, and although our
wealth may extort the tickle applause and
sycophancy of the multitude, the pleasures
which they afford are unstable, and are not to
be compared with those which result from
prudent Industry and rectitude of conduct
from the consciousness OF having performed
the high duties imposed upon us to our fami-
lies, 20 society and to God.
Let us trace some instances of good and
bad luck, in the business OF the farm, to their
real causes.
The industrious, painstaking farmer, who
personally superintends his own business, who
rises early In the morning, sees that his
working boys and hired help are at their posts
of duty, that his horses and oxen are In good
condition for service, that his implements and
fences are in good order, that his operations
are timely laid out and properly reformed, Is
pretty certain of enjoying a round Of good
luck in all his farming operations. He will
have good cattle. good crops and good profit;
and if he takes caro- to bring up his sons in
the ways of their fathers, he will have good
luck with his family.
On the other hand, look at that man who
squanders away portion of his time at pub
lie houses, at political clubs, at horse races,
gaming tables, &C., and who trusts the man.
acement of his affairs to the discretion and N
deity Of others, and ten to one you VIII ma

cattle diminishing, his fences and buildings

published by Roberts Brothers, Boston ia n a
My Prisons of Silvio Pellico. Few books SO
unpretendDg in design have ever had 50 deep
and wide political influence as this. The
fiercest invectves, the bitterest accusations
that could have been launched against the in
famous tyranny of Austria in Italy could not
have so moved to burning Indignation the souls
of men as did this sincere and simple story of
individual experience. Silyio Pellico, Italian
poet and patriot, was born in Saluzzo, Pied
noht,l IN 17S0, and died in Turin in 1854. He
was 'ne author of a number of poetical works,
most Oh them dramatic, but the best of which,
and Inc only one which gave him any impor-
tant dramatic rank, was his tragedy of Fron-
cesca di Rinsini. But none OF his dramatic
productions can compare in tragic interest. In
power and in pathos with the simple story ont
of his own life which he has related in Nm
Prisons. This was merely truthful state
ment of one mans experience, under the sem
tence of Austria, TOR the honest exercise of a
mans right of free thought. Charged with
completely in the league of the Carbondrt, he
was arrested, and without tlial or even a
formal charge, plunged into a frightful dun
geon, and left to languish there for ten long
years. His sole vengeance for that cruel
wrong was this simple and touching story of
his sufferings,-a story in which there is not
touch of vindictiveness, but which yet has
been more potent influence in overturning
the despotism from which he suffered than
perhaps any other book ever published. At
this particular time, when the eyes of the
world are so much turned toward Italy, this
book which has had so much to do with kind
ling the enthusiasm for liberty that is to burn
away the last vestige of her serfdoni, is in
vested with new interest, and we are very
glad to see it republished il. so beautiful and
attractive form. bailey & Noyes have it,
Wyncoop g. Sherwood, New York, have is

ers, Mr. Secretary Pepys, ,oith Extracts from
his Diary, by Allan Grant. 1t will be found
to contain much of the most interesting and
valuable portion of Pepys's volumnous diary.
The original work is among the most enter
tanning books ever published, and its value as
a source of information in relation to the man
ners and the minor events of the time of
Charles the Second has long been acknowi-
edged. To present its most important por-
tions in this condensed and convenient form
was good idea in the present publishers.

dilapidated and his fortune going 20 wreck.
Who does not see in such case the cause Of
bad lucxa
our young readers have perhaps heard of
tne pad luck that befel the man who, in time,
neSiecteu TO get nail in the horses shoe;
the shoe came oil, the horse became lame and
ultimately died; so that the owner lost his
horse for want OF a nail. The same bad Iuck
attends him who neglects his fences; nail
or board is down, the cattle get in and de-
stroy his crops and he is obliged to buy bread
for his family. The drone, too, is generally
late with his work he plants and sows late,
and suffers his crops to waste in the field be-
fore they are gathered or housed.
The dilgent farmer destroys the weeds that
ruin his crops, and the bushes that uselessly
cucumber his grounds; he carefully econo-
mizes and applies the manures destined to
feed his crops, and keeps up the fertility of
his soil, and that portion Of it which is nat
uraly wet he underdrains and brings into
productive state. All these are certain pre-
cursors of good luck. ---....--. .--.-
Now mark the farmer of almost inevitable
bad luck. In harvest time he is down at the
village to witness some petty lawsuit in which
he is not party-or if he is, so much the
worse for him. Look at the fences, the BUSH
es, the weeds, the cattle, the crops, the build
ings-at every thing. Do they not all betok-
en- bad luck? and say in language not to be
misunderstood, that the unfortunate master
is going down hill.
We have one more suggestion which may
extend to the farmer. ldleness is the parent
of talking and mischief making. Now the
men or women who attend to their own bus
iness, as they ought, have no time or disposi-
ton officiously to intermeddle with the do
mestic concerns of their neghbors; they have
no interest in sinking the reputation of 9TH
ers, but would raise them to their own high
level. Their habits, therefore, tend to diffuse
good luck to all around them.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Rome, 18th ultimo, says:
All through the continuance Of troubles IN
the Pontifical States it has been the desire
OF many in Rome through love OF curiosity
or wish for excitement, to accompany any
expedition leaving the city to attack par
ties of Garibaldians. Following the general
taste, Mr.. Cushman, United States Consul in
Rome, accompanied small expeditionary
force sent to act against the Garibaldians in
the vicinity of Nerola. Through his posi-
tion in Rome and official connection with the
government, 1t was easy for him to receive
permission, otherwise grudgingly granted to
foreigners, to witness the expedition. The
forces met-the conflict was equal. Carried
away by excitement, the Consul found him.
self in the immediate front, among friends
in the Zouaves, within two hundred yards OF
the enemy, and under a tolerably sharp fire
Friends were falling round him, whilst he, at
greater leisure than the rest could more easi-
ly observe the movements of small detarh-
ed 10. ofGaribaldians, evidently firing on him
SELF Unable 70 retire without compromising
his honor, dsinclined to remain inactive at
such moment and in such case, he used a
dead mans musket firing on men he believed
to be firing on himself, till a slight wound
prevented further action. The news soon
spread that the United States Consul, repre-
sentative of Republican government, had
been fighting against Republicans in aid of
the most despotic, ignorant and intolerant
government in Europe. Here our friend gos-
sip stepped in. Such an opportunity! He
had volunteered, so it said, 70 accompany and
fight with the Zouaves, among whom he had
friends; he had assisted the Papilini with
money; he had thrown his heart in the cause.
The consequence OF all which is that Mr..
Cushman has about him pretty busy hor
nets nest, is almost unanimously condemned
by Americans here, has raised the ire Of all
liberals, and laid himself open, no doubt, to
well merited censure. Certainly, no one not
engaged in the cause had right to fire gun,
much less Consul, much lessa United States
Consul. The officers of the Zouaves cry him
up as the most magnificent fellow that ever
lived; but Americans generally, and those de-
sirous OF stepping into his shoes in particular,
make no bones of expressing very different
opinions. 1t was an indiscretion, very
grave one, perhaps even something more, and
almost certain to attract remark in America
therefore permit myself to mention it, espec.
tally as do so perfectly disinterestedly, care
less Of the opinions of either party.
