Sacral Scenes and Characters —By the Rev-
J. T. Headley. This work may be very
properly considered a companion to the
" Sacred Mountains,' by the same author.
Its object is to illustrate and "render more
life-like" the sacred writings. It is not the
author's design to supersede the Bible. But
his wish is excite a solicitude to obtain, and
to become intimately acquainted and per
fectly familiar with its history, doctrines and
laws; to know its truth to imbibe its spirit,
feel its power, and partake of its salvation;
in a word, to prize in sorco measure as it
deserves, tills :r n asure which is indeed be
yond price. We predict for it a circulation
far beyond any of the authors former works.
[The News. Jan. Ith.
Rambles and Sketches —By Rev. J. T. Head
ley. We have not for a long time sat down
to a book with more pleasing anticipations,
or found thoso anticipations more lolly re
alized, than in tho perusal of the work be
fore us, and we know it will be hailed with
gratification by the many admirers of the
talented author. His "Napoleon and his
Marshals" was, perhaps, ns popular and
found at least as many enthusiastic readers
as any book that can be mentioned. We
think the Rambles and Sketches are des
tined to be as popular at least as any of his
previously published works. There is not a
dull chapter in the work, filled as it is with
"an infinite variety." The author has am
ple room and verge enough for tho employ
ment of his fine lalents to great advantage,
and most successfully has he accomplished
the task. The biographical sketch of the
author is interesting and "well considered,"
and adds much to the value of the book,
which is got up in a very neat and attractive
style by the publisher.— See Portland Trans
script, Dec. 15th.
Mr, Headley is one of themost promising wri
ters of this country, and wo liavo here one of his
liest books—or.e on which lie can safely rosl his
fame. It possesses tho unfaliguing charms of
perfect simplicity and truth. There is graceful
frankness pervading the composition, which en
gages the interest of the rcador in the author as
well as in the subject. His rambles about Rome,
Paria and London exhibit a thausund traits of un
ingenuous nature, upon which a man of taste
will delight to linger. We predict for this a
salo equal to that of any of the author's works.
[New York News.
Tho collection is ono of which no Buthor
nrod be ashamed. It consists, indued, of some
of Mr. Headley'* most brilliant and highly fin
ished compositions of those specimens of his
abilities by which he may he judged with the
greatest safety to his fsme as s word-painter and
thinker. [New York Tribune,

ABOUT two years ago a now discovery
was made in Europe, consisting of a
substitute for the ordinary store coffee, called
Essence of Cofieo, which has gone into gen
eral use with astonishing rapidity, not only
among the poorer classes, who at once dis
pensed with the use ol the celebrated Chick
ory Coffee, but is now in general use in the
wealthiest families and the first hotels, and
is highly recommended by die medical fac
ulty.
It is extracted from pure, wholesome veg
etables. and excels all similar preparations
that have ever been offered to the public,
either in this country or in Europe. Its su
perior quality has already been attested to in
the cities by some of the most eminent phys
icians, and a number of the most distinguish
ed of the clergy and other highly respectable
citizens. Coffee made from this essence ac
cording to the prescription obtains a more
delicious and pleasant fitvor than the com
mon store coffee, and is certainly more
wholesome, especially for persons in deli
cate health, which will be admitted by eve
ry physician who will tuko the pains to test
the natuie and properties of this essence.
One paper costing only 12j ots., is equal
to four pounds of store coffee, will be bright
and clear without the application of any
other ingredient to clarify or settle it. The
public are therefore invited to givo this es
sence at least a trial before they condemn it.
A respectable merchant of Luzerne coun
ty in writing of it says:
"My customers have been using of the
above Essence for some months past with
general satisfaction j and Ido not hesitate
to recommend it to the public.

not lie disappointed by anv want on his own

adherence to those great principles oh which iHii

Tho UNION will advocate principles, not ih'ehi
and it will he so conducted us to furnish nn pre
text for the imputation that it will |,e devoted to'
the service of any political aspirant, or become
the organ of any combination formed for (hi'
personal o.' political advancement of its members
contrary to the principles and usages of the
democratic party by rebuking those who would
depart from its principles, or mar the beauty o
its creed by Iho introduction of d angcrt Us Joe

This great object of the UNION is to compass
political results; yet its co'unins will nut he de
voted exclusively to publics. It will endeavor to
keep up with the spirit ol the age, and lo present
all discoveries in science or art, and inure espe
cially to chronicle all irnpiovements relative' to'
agriculture, commerce and manufactures which
may promote the interests and lead to the adorn
