The Tin Trumpet; or, Heads and Tail; for the Wise and Waggish. 1 WL, 12 mo. New York: D. Appleton 4': 6b.— This is a new edition of a work, which, on its ﬁrst appear ance, three-and-twenty years ago, made a great sensation. In the present edition, such of its matter as was of purely local and temporary interest has been suppressed, which we think is an improvement; but additions, on the other hand, has been made, from the editor’s common-place book, which seems to us an unwarrantabie liberty. The author, Dr. Chatfield, would turn in his grave, if he could, to protest against

For summer reading it comes out opportunely. for we know of no writer, Dickens not even excepted, who is so agreeable a companion, on a sultry July or August afternoon. The interest of this novel is greatly increased by the fact that Sadlier, the celebrated English defaulter, figures largely in its pages.

é Fictds.—0wen Meredith is a ﬁctitious name. the real author of these poems being the son of Bulwer, the novelist. The contents of the volume are of various merit. Some of the pieces are very far above mediocrity, while others are considerably below it. We do not, however, altogether like the spirit of the book. A sneering, skeptical feeling very largely pervades it: the author writes as ifhe had lost faith in everything. But all of the poems are not open to this objection. " Les Italians.” and others, are exceptions. The volume is published to match “the blue and gold” series of the poets, which has become so popular

The volume is neatly printed.

hardly docs justice to Percival, these volumes will assist to

restore him, in the popular mind, to his true position as a Writer. A more suitable gift to a lady than this edition could not be devised, for it is in the beautiful “blue and gold” style which Ticknor & Fields have made famous. The volumes ought to be in the drawing-room, or boudoir, of every woman of reﬁnement.

We answer that we ask no more for the Magazine than it is worth. and that, if we gave a premium to every subscriber, we could afford to do it only by making the Magazine worth just so much the less. Some of the lottery associations, we know, advertise to give both a Magazine and engraving for three dollars; but we

give as good a Magazine for two dollars. A premium to a person getting up a club stands on a different footing. There is always more or less trouble in going around, and coll-ct ing names and money for a club: and it is to remuneratc persons for this that we give a premium. Besides. in point

h'apoleonic Ideas. By the Prince .Napoleon Louis Bona parte. Translutcd by J. A. Barr. 1 1:01., 12 me. New York: D. Appleton d!- Cb.—Thls little treatise originally appeared at Brussels, in 1839, at a time when the present emperor of the French was in exile. It has now been translated, for the first time, as peculiarly applicable to the existing crisis. The work seeks to clear the memory of the ﬁrst Napoleon from the charge of having been an enemy to liberal ideas. For this purpose it analyzes his system, both domestic and foreign. The volume may not convince all readers of what the writer desires. But it will satisfy every impartial mind that Prince Napoleon. quite twenty years ago, had thought profoundly on political aﬁairs; that he came to the imperial throne with a ﬁxed policy; and that he is now only seeking to carry out what he had determined on. even before the Anglo-French alliance. Whoever desires to understand Eu rnpettn politics should study this book. It will throw more light on the probabilities of the future than dozens of speeches from cabinet ministers, or scores of leaders in the London Times. The Life of ChiefJusticc Parsons.

specimens of the English press. And the subject is worthy of this honor. Chief Justice Parsons of Massachusetts was one of those “giants of the law,” who appear only at rare intervals, uniting vast legal acquiremcnts to an almost in. fallible perception of the true principles of the science. He died in 1813, after having filled the ofﬁce of Chief Justice for but little more than six years, but during that period he almost entirely remouldcd the law of his native state, which the revolution had so seriously damaged. As a master of Coke upon Littleton he rivaled the greatest English lawyers that have ever lived. The volume is written in an honest, manly spirit, and is not confined merely to depicting the Chief Justice as a lawyer, but gives us delightful sketches of his private life, as well as throws light on the principal political events of his time.

Isrisrs’ Wsanaonss.—There can be no greater mistake made than to provide an expensive wardrobe for infants. 1400 and embroidery soon lack body from frequent wash ings. and all that a mother requires for her young child is plenty of plain. neatly made clothing. The skirts of the dresses should be made with a hem of three or four inches in width. with perhaps the addition of a tuck or two: but in the latter case, the hem should be narrower and the tucks

of the same width. The “infant waist,” which is slightly full and put on a belt, should not be bound around the neck. or only be bound in front, and be fastened by a drawing string in the back. Many persons have the belt to extend on!y half way round the waist, and conﬁne the back by nar row bobbin casings.

The Life of James Watt, with srlections from his Cbn'es <‘ pondence. By James Patrick Muirhead, M. A. Illustrated with wood cuts. 1 vol, 12 me. New York: D. Appleton it NINI IJI I I’ Co.—-This is the first successful attempt to furnish the public with a full, yet well~digested, biography of James Watt, the inventor of the steam-engine. The book is one of the most interesting we have read for a long time. It is. indeed, not only a memoir of Watt, but also a history of the greatest in } vention of modern times. Youngmen can learn, in this volume, how energy and industry ﬁnally command success,

no matter what the impediments that present themselves.

Wmn Sumatra Banana—White dresses are usually made with full, plain skirts, or else with a number of narrow tucks. The prettiest style of body is like that of Fig. 2 in our fashion plate: but the insertion can be dispensed with, and the body can be made of the plain muslin only, slightly fulled in at the waist. If made in this style, there should be a very slight fullness 'm the back also. The lining of a white dress should always be out quite low. The ordinary The Exploits and Triumphs, in Europe, of Paul Morphy, bishop or shirt sleeve, with an insertion band at the wrist, is very pretty, and less trouble than an open sleeve, as the the Chess Champion; including an historical account of clubs, under-sleeve can be dispensed with.

Clouds there are none in the fair Summer sky; Sunshine ﬂings benison down from on high; Children sing loud, as the train moves along, “Happy the bride that the sun shineth on.” Knoll out drearily, Measured and wearily, Sad Old bells from the steeple grey; Priests chanting lowly,

Solemnly, slowly. Passeth the corse from the portal to-dsy. Drops from the, leaden clouds heavily fall, Dripping all over the plume and the pail; Murmur old folk, as the train moves along, "Blessed the dead that the rain raineth on.” Toll at the hour of prime, Matin. and Vesper chime. Loved old bells from the steeple high Bolling, like holy waves, Over the lowly graves, Floating up, prayer-fraught, into the sky. Solemn the lesson your lightest notes teach, Stern is the preaching your iron tongues preach; Ringing in life from the bud to the bloom, Ringing the dead to their rest in the tomb.

Hang them up, and before they are quite dry,draw them on glove-blocks to restore their proper form. When removed from the blocks they may be folded and pressed under a weight. The following is a method of cleaning gloves without wetting: Lay the gloves upon a clean board. and mix together well-dried l'uller‘s-earth and alum, powdered. Pass the powder over both sides of the gloves with a moderately stiff brush. Then wipe off the powder, and sprinkle the gloves Well with bran and whiting, and dust them thoroughly.

The grain of cow beef is closer, and the lean scarcely so red as that of ex beef. When you see beef, of which-the fat is hard and skinny. and the lean ofa deep red, you may suppose it to be of an inferior kind; and when the meat is old. you may know it by a line of horny texture running through the meat of the ribs. Veal is generally preferred of a delicate whiteness; but it is apt to be more juicy and well ﬁarored when of a deeper color. When you choose veal. endeavor to look at the loin. which will afford you the best means of judging of the veal generally; for, if the kidney, which you will ﬁnd on the under side of one end of the loin, be deeply enveloped in

In (Yo/l, the redness of the gills, pie whiteness, stiﬁ'ness, and ﬁrmness of the ﬂesh, and the clear freshness of the eyes, are proofs of its being good. The whole ﬁsh should be ﬁrm and thick. Salmon should have a ﬁne red ﬂesh and gills; the scales

should be bright, and the whole ﬁsh ﬁrm. Fresh water ﬁsh may be chosen by similar observations respecting the ﬁrmness of the ﬂesh, and the clear appear ance of the eyes. In a Lobstrr lately caught, you may put the claws in mo tion by pressing the eyes with your ﬁngers; but when it has been long caught, that muscular action is not orcited. The freshness of boiled lobsters may be determined by the clas ticity of the tail, which is ﬁaccid when they here lost any degree of their freshness. Their goodness. independent of freshness, is determined by their weight, the heaviest being always the best. The goodness of the C'rab is known by its weight, also; for, when it proves light. the ﬂesh is generally found to be wasted and watery. If in perfection, the joints of the legs will be stiff. and the body will have an agreeable smell. The eyes, by a. dull appearance. betray the crab has been long caught.

In the choice of poultry, the age of the bird is the chief point to be attended to. A young Turkey has a smooth, black leg; in an old one, the legs are rough and reddish. In Domestic Fnwls, the combs and the legs are smooth when the bird is young; and rough when it is old.

If you perceive many enlarged glands. or. as they are usually termed, kernels. in the fat of pork, you may conclude that the pig has been diseased, and the pork cannot be wholesome. Bacon should also have a thin rind; the fat should be ﬁrm, and inclined to a reddish color; and the lean should adhere ﬁrmly to the bone. and have no yellow streaks in it. When you are purchasing a ham. have a knife stuck in it to the bone. which, if the ham be well cured. may be drawn out again without having any of the meat adhering to it, and without your perceiving any disagreeable smell. A short barn is reckoned the best. Venison, when young. will have the fat clear and bright. and this ought also to be of a considerable thickness. When you do not wish to have it in a very high state, a knife plunged into either the haunch or the shoulder, and drawn out, will by the smell enable you to judge if the meat be sufﬁciently fresh. With regard to venison, which, as it is not an every day article of diet, it may be convenient to keep for some time after it has begun to get high or tainted.it is useful to know that animal ptttt‘efuction is checked by fresh burnt charcoal; by means of which, therefore. the venison may be prevented from getting worse, although it cannot be. restored to its original freshness. The meat should be placml in a hollow dish. and charcoal powder be strewcd over it until it cover the joint to the thickness of half an inch.

The feet of a tame duck are yellowish—those of a wild one reddish. Pigeons should always be eaten while they are fresh: when they look flabby and discolored about the under part. they have been kept too long. The feet. like those of most other poultry. show the age of the. bird: when they are sup ple. it is young; when stiff, it is old. Tame pigeons are larger than wild pigeons.
