Shall the children of the Soldiers and Sailors
who gave their lives for the preservation of the
Union be provided with homes, and receive
good education? This is question which will
admit of but one answer-lu the affirmative.
1t only remains, therefore, or US to point out
the best mode in which it cfn be done. A care
full examination has satisfied us, and will satisfy
the public, that the projectors of the Riverside
Institute, located in the yillage of Riverside
New Jersey, on the Delaware, have devised the
most feasible method. Acting under the
charter of the Washington Library Company of
Philadelphia, incorporated by the State of
Pennsylvania, they are Offering stock at the
low rate of one dollar per share, and will give
to each subscriber beautiful and valuable steel
engraving, worth at retailmore than the price
of the stock, and as az additional inducement
will distribute among the stockholders presents
valued at 100000. Who can refuse to do a
patriotic and benevolent action on these terms
Let every lover of his country record his name.

Mountains of New HAMPSHIRE are evidently
great institution-vecy high, heavy frosts, beau

cal eye OF certain renowned Drake saw those

variegated the bride path to the Tip-top House

offence to ply the artistic brush on their be-
loved hills. Verify, the fine arts are at dis
count in New Hampshire. Query.-Did Drake

The Paris correspondent of the Publishers
Circular writes 1.-THE chief gubiect of dis
cussion in the literary world lust now is the
canvass for the vacant seats in the French
Academy. The candidates are M. Jules Favre,
M. Jules Simon, Father Gratry, M. Philarete
Chasles, M. Ed. Laboulaye, and perhaps M.
ThGophile Gautier. The discussion loses
something of its interest from the KNOWLEDGE
that before very long period of time there
will be vacancies enough in the Academy to
crafty all ambitions. M. Villemain's health
is deplorabe, NJ. de Pongerville is barely
alive, M de Segur is past 90 the Duke de
BrOgiO and NJ. Niennet are above so. IL seems
to be the general impression that M. Jules
Favre will be elected to NJ. de Barante's seal.
and that NJ. Jules Simon or Father Gratry
will be elected to succeed NJ. Victor Cousin
The AHea0Um, reviewing recent books of
Whittier, Whipple, and Thoreau, says:-"But
while the Americans are daily readers of our
literature, and through it constant observers
Of the best features ofour political and social
existence it is matter for regret that England
does not take corresponding interest in the
native literature of the States. OF course there
is an imposing roll of American authors who
have been thoroughly adopted as CAPTAINS of
thought by the intellectual rank and file of
this country. LOugfellow is not less popular
in London than Tennyson in New York or
Boston; Cooper is read in Old almost as
widely as Walter Scott in New England: the
novels of Washington Irving are as much
works of universal and permanent interest in
the cities and villages of Great Britain as the
tales of Charles Dickens are affairs of familiar
conversation throughout the Union; Prescott,
Bancroft, and Holmes are names that glitter
on the shelves Of every well-furnished library
on this side of the Atlantic"
