Tinted paper.
This brief record of the experience of
one of our volunteer nurses in the army
hospitals is worthy of the highest cont.
mendation. It will remain as a memo
rial of the devotion of some of our most
cultivated Christian ladies to the wants
of the suffering soldiers in this war.
The elegant style of the writer is of
itself a sufficient recommendation; the
sharp insight into human nature which
it reveals; the outpouring of all the
wealth of a woman's rich and noble
nature in patient, painstaking offices
towards the inmates of the hcispitif and
in behalf of the cause they represented;
her tender and skilful attentions to the
spiritual wants of the men ;--allgathered
around a number of deeply interesting
and well-told incidents, form a memorial
volume that must be appreciated by
every patriotic reader. After receiving
such attention as this noble class of
American women bestow upon our sol
diers, we do not wonder at reading of
one, who, after leaving one of our
Philadelphia hospitals, participated in
the battle of Gettysburg, came back
wounded, and in reply to some simple
remark, said : " Yes, I felt all the time
that I was fighting for you I"
Bishop Potter gives the book a very
handsome and patriotic introduction.

Most persons suppose that the epic of
Adam and Eve has already been writ
ten by one John Milton, and the ground
pretty well covered by his Paradise
Lost. The author of this "poem" has
had the rashness to overlook these
generally conceded facts, and has writ
ten a piece remarkable chiefly for its
length, and for the very neat and hand
some manner in which the publisher
has issued it.

LITERARY Mils
We are indebted to Child's Gazette
and Circular for the following items:
SHAKESPIARVEI TElt-CENTENARY in be
ing celebrated chiefly in a literary way
in England.. We count no less than
twenty one :distinct issues of his works
announced 'hi - English PublisherS,' in
cluding photolithographic fac-simileti of
old editions. Some publishers issue as
many as SIX different, editions. A. single
volumed edition—a marvel of beauty
and cheapness—is announced at five
shillings. • Various ilhistrated editions
are also published. Besides, some
twenty-seven different, works, such as
are called "Shaksperiana,," have also been
announced,including Mr. Brown's "Bible
Truths, with Shakspearian Partillele ."
and Bishop Wordsworth's new work
on " Shakspeare's Knowledge. and Use
of the. Bible." Mr. William Shakspeare's
Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies," a
very fine copy of the first folio of 1623,
perfect with the ex.cejitiOn of Ben John
son's verses opposite the title-page, ad
mirably supplied in fac-simile, bound in
morocco. by Bedford, sold in London,
last March, for £273 or over $l3OO.
Four literary characters, of some emi
nence in France, are known to be en
gaged upon memoirs of their own times;
two have kept diaries forty years.
The new school books, published by the
Austrian government are printed on
paper made of corn-shucks; the Vi
enna physicians think, this paper likely
to fatigue the eye less than common
white paper.—M. de Sacy has edited
a new edition of Bossuet's treatise " Du
la Connoissance de Dieu et de Soi
meme," and his " Exposition de la Foi
Catholique," with a preface which, like
everything M. de Saey writes, is charm
ing. M. de Secy has undertaken this
publication as a sort of reply to M. Re
nan's work, which (in its popular form,
price 25 sons) has reached a fourth edi
tion since I wrote you last. The
works of Louis XVI, have just been
published in two volumes, with an elo
quent preface by M. Berryer.—The
fifteenth edition of " The Art of Tying
the Cravat" has ; appeared in France.
TIIACKERAYANA.—Mr. Thackeray died
intestate, and his two daughters have
taken out letters o administration. Mil
personal property has been sworn to
amount in value to a sum not exceed
ing $lOO 000. As much as $3O 000 or
$40,000 more may be realized, from a
lease which he held having eighty years
yet to run. His health was too bad - to
admit of life insurance on terms deemed
favorable. The first money, of an
amount worth speaking of, that. Mr.
Thackeray was able to lay up, was
what he realized by his lectures in the
United States in 1862. The sale of his
household effects took place March 16th.
The prices obtained were very poor.
Hie library was of the " editorial" sort,
principally composed of books sent for
criticism, hence more miscellaneous
than valuable. Some rare and choice
paintings, by Cuyp, Watteau, Collins an I
others failed to elicit the enthusiasm of the
buyers. It is not too much to say that
Mr. Thackeray's little collection would
have realized, in Philadelphia or New
York, at least five times as much as it
obtained in London, even with his
friends as bidders. Some presenta
tion copies of books sold very high, as
Dickens' Christmas Carol, with an auto
graph sentence of the author, after
spirited competition, brought £25 10s.
The Reader says : Many of the lots
with MS. notes were bought by two
American gentleman, who contested
keenly for every book that bore similar
traces of the great novelist's study. A
little French volume, which had be
longed to Lord Byron, who had pre
sentedit to Dr. Magion, who in turn
gave it to Mr. Thackeray, of no value
in itself, sold for its weight in gold.
A NEW AND GOOD MOVEMENT.—An
act has just been passed by the Legisla
ture of the State of Now York incorpo
rating " The American Literary Fund
Association." More than one hundred
corporators are named, and among
them are many leading publishers, au
thors, and journalists, and we infer;
therefore, that the movement is in good
hands, and that something substantial
will grow out of it. It deserves hearty
encouragement, and the experience of a
similar association in England shows
how much good may be accomplished.
The object is stated by the, act to be
the " raising by subscriptions, dona
tions, and bequests from members
thereof and others, a fund to be devot
ed to making provisions for the support
of such persons as, by age, sickness, or
accident, are incapacitated from pursu
ing their professional callings as au
thors, editors, or writers for the press,
and for the support of the widows and
orphans of such persons, and for the
purpose of defraying the funeral expen
ses of such persons, and for such other
purposes as the said corporation may
deem expedient."
LADIES' NATIONAL OOVENANT.
A highly important movement of pa
triotic ladies has commenced in Wash
ington, which, if carried out in other
parts of the country, cannot fail to prove
most effective and beneficial in checking
extravagance, in restoring health to the
national finances, and in lessening the
IBlTu*tr* - -r -4 -..-ruilalin treasury as well
as those of almost every pfifireytirse
in the country.
The meeting, which took place on the
2d day of May, was composed, accord
ing to the Washington Chronicle, of the
wives of members of the Cabinet, and of
Senators and Representatives, of well
known authoresses, women of fashion,
mothers who had lost their sons, and
wives who had lost their husbands.
There was an eagerness and a - unison of
feeling in this great meeting which have
never been exceeded in this land.
At the request of the ladies, the Rev.
Dr. McMnrdy was asked to preside.
He invoked the divine blessing in an
earnest and impressive prayer.

ADDRESS TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA
In the capital of our country we have
this day organized a central society for
the suppression of extravagance, the
diminution of foreign imports, and the
practice of economy in all our social re
lations. To this society we have given
the name of " The Ladies' National
Covenant." Its object is a good and
generous one, •which should inspire-a
spirit of patriotism worthy of wome
who are the glory of a great nation. Fut
this society we have, an example and
precedent at once august and encourag
ing.
In 1770 the women of Massachusetts
actuated by the same impulse that in
spires us, assembled in the city of Boston,
as we have met here, and resolved to
serve the country by an effort of self
sacrifice far greater than we are calle
upon to make.
On the 9th of February, three hundre
matrons, each the mistress of a house
hold, met as we do now, and signed I
pledge to abstain from the use of tea
the greatest luxury of the time, and the
very life of all the social gatherings fo ,
which our New England ancestors wet!:
so famous. Three days after, twice tha,
number of blooming young girls met i
the same place and signed, like pledges
from that brave assemblage of weme
non-importation societies sprang u
that produced an effect upon the moths
country almost equal to that created b
the success of our revolutionary armies
During all >the terrors of the war, thes
noble women held firmly to thei
pledges, and by their earnestness awok
the sympathy and co operatkin of ever
sister colony in the land. The spiri
thus aroused extended itself to importe .
goods of all kinds, and every heart
stone was turned into an independen
manufactory. Thus it was that the fla':
wheel, the hatchel, and the hand-100 .
became sublime instruments of freed° ~
in the hands of American women. Th :
house mothers of seventy-six not only
kept their pledge of non-importation,
but with their own hands wrought from
the raw material the garments which
clothed themselves, their husbands, and
children. The pledge which they took,
1
and kept so faithfully, evoked not onl
great self-sacrifice, but hard, hard toil
such as the women of the present da
scarcely dream of. Had they not e
dared and labored while their husban
fought, we should have had no migh
Union to pray and struggle for now.
We, the women of '64, have the sa, e
object to attain and the same duties to
perform which were so nobly aec 1:12-
plished by the women of '76. Shall e
not follow their example, and take ,
/ I
cheerfully, the -lesser burdens that e
welfare of our country demands? Thy
gave up the very comforts of life wt -
out a murmur ; can we refuse whe a
sacrifice of feminine vanity is alone, e
quired ? Can we hesitate to, yield up
luxuries that are so unbecoming iv en
the very earth trembles under our'.feet
from the tread of armed men going
down to battle, and almost every roof
throughout the land shelters ' some
mother lamenting the son Who has fal
len gloriously with his face to the foe,
or a widow whose husband lies buried
so deeply among the masses of slain he
roes, that she: will never learn where to
seek for his grave ?
When the wife of a great prince,
whoselmsband was absent at the siege
of Troy, was urged by'her friends tceput
on her royal robes and be cheerful, she
answered; "My hushand is tinder • the
walls of Troy; shall I adorn my hair
'while-he wears hilifiett4 Shall I dress
in new robes w i bile , he carries arms?
No ! my raiment 6611 be like his hard
labors and -in sadness' will I pass the
time of this mournful -War."
Patriotism is beautiful in all eyes, and
was shared alike by the, lady of classic
story and the Mother Of the Revolution,
clad in her hOmespun dress arid steadily
performing more than'household duties.
Compare the spirit of these •women with
the reckless extravagance which has
marked the duration of this terrible
'Struggle for the Union, 'and the contrast
is indeed humiliating. Still the women
of America are not unworthy of their
ancestors. Thoughtless they may be,
and luxuriously extravagant from long
habits of prosperity, brit cruel' and un
just never Appeal to their reason and
gentle feelings, and the women of this
day wily prove themselves capable of as
noble dOds as ever marked, the strug
gles ofthe Revolution. Convince them
of the evils their thOughtleasness is pro
ducing and the remedy is certain.
It h s not yet been sufficiently impress
,up thorn that the encouragement
of ex avagant importations is injurious
to th public good.' To impress this
vital truth upon the women of the
Unio we have entered into this sol
emn ovenant, not only lending our
salve: to a general system of economy
in on persons, 4iiit holding it as a duty
to im press upon others how unwomanly
it is • make outward display a para
mon it subject of thought, when the
!, is in the throes of a rebellion

try,'
;once of Our sister women through
' he length and breadth of the land.
't be well- understood, that every
e of gold that goes from the
, I try detracts from the pay of the
ier who is fighting for our salvation,
diminishes the wages of our sister
iii en, who,toil for their bread, into a
.erable pittance .that . scarcely suffices
r keep them from starvation. The
ecious metal that flows from this
i ntry to Europe 'for' the luxuries we
I not need increases the price of gold
0 e, depreciates the value of, our na-
I nal currency, and helps to sweep the
cessaries of life beyond the reach of
e working man
It is a painful truth, for which we
s all yet learn to blush, that the impor
t tions of the most expensive goods
anufactnred in Europe have been far
eater during the war than at any time
i the history of our country. The im
ortations last week at the New York
ustom-house alone amounted to five
illions of dollars; and all that week—
hich will yet find its ignoble record in
istory—the streets of Washington
, ere blocked up with weary soldiers,
'arching through mud, rain, or dust
town to the Army , of the Potomac,
hich now lies with bated courage wait
g for the carnival of death which is
- 1I
most flinging its crimson shadow over
as.
For the good, of our country and the
onor of our sex, let us redeem ourselves
from this reproach of wanton extrava
gance. Let us prove by cheerful re
trerichment, that the women of the
country are not so wedded to luxurious
self-indulgence that they cannot fill a
glorious page in the history of this war
and yet retain all that is retiring and
beautiful in womanhood. In all humane
works they have proved themselves
charitable, kind, and munificent. Let
these, comprehend that self-abnegation
will accomplish more than works of
charity, and they will not be less earnest
to sacrifice than they have been to act.
It must not be said of us that we have
been willing to give up our husbands,
sons, and brothers to fight or die for the
"Union, and yet refuse to -renounce our
laces, silks and diamonds. That
thought would cover us with shame be
fore the nations of the earth. No:; our
women of the Union only lack knowledge
of the,means by which they 9an prove
themselves true help'-mates of the heroes
who are fighting , our battles.
Impress it upon them that in' discour
aging excessive importation,s and adopt
ing goods manufactured at home they
keep gold in lie country, rcilace the
rates of exChange, and establish confi
dence in the Government, and they Will
'prove how far patriotism can rise above
feminine vanity in the hearts of Ameri
can women.
In order to invoke this spirit of self
sacrifice, it is important that the great
object of the covenant we have made
:hould be broadly circulated and tho
oughly understood. It discourages
ro tgate expenditures of any kind,
commends the use of domestic fabrics
herever they can be substituted for
t , ose of foreign make, and advises sim
p icity of attire, both as a matter of
policy and good taste. It asks the
great sisterhood of American women to
aid in this reform before it is too late.
Thank God ! science has given us the
means of reaching thousands on thou
sands in,a single hour. While we make
this covenant, the thought that thrills
our hearts may tremble in fire along
the telegraph, and awake kindred inspi
ration throughout the entire land. By
every means of communication in our
power, let us urge the necessity of
prompt action. In every town and vil
lage throughout the Union, some woman
who loves her country is implored to
establish' an auxiliary society and for
ward; the names of_the ladies invited to
act for the State in which her duty lies.
We ask simultaneous action, earnest
work, and generous self-sacrifice at the
hands of our sister women, With their
ardent help, a work will be accomplish
ed so important in its results, that the
women who share in it may, hereafter,
leave the emblem of our object as the
richest jewel that she can leave to pos
terity.
YOUNG MEN are to be happy 'by
hope and the old by memory.--Lord

FRAGRANT SOZODONT.
Only True Dentriftee Known.
The public have long been in want of some conve
nient, safe and beneficial Dentrifice, which could be
relied on as having a healthy and preserving effect on
the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepara
tions have already been offered as such, in the form of
powders, pastes and liquids, when a trial has only
proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or,
else too inconvenient and unpleasant for daily use, so.
indispensable to the preservation of the teeth. The
Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a Beautifier
and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination,
every ingredierit of - which is known to have a beneficial'
influence on the teeth and gums, imparting a delightful
and refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correct-.
ing all disagreeable odors arising from decayed teeth,
use of tobacco, &c. Its fragrance and convenience
make it a pleasure to use it ; it is perfectly free from all'
acids or other ingredients having the least tendency to
j
inure the enamel.
Itis popular Dentrifice is now used and recommended
by many of the first Dentists in the country, as well as
by many of the most eminent Divines, Physicians,
Chemists and Scientific Gentlemen of the day.
The following eminent clergymen and their families, of
New York city, together with hundreds of others, having
used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and.
invaluable qualities, and give it their most cordial com.
mendation.
