—This tt or!. is already introduced in
to some or the best Academies and a large
number of Schools, where its use has br
en decided and universal satisfaction,
both to teacher and pupil. It is purely
American in its charm- er, based upon our
own beautiful dechnol system of currency.
It eonlaills more, the arrangements are bet
ler, and it is the easiest and cheapest work
of the kind now in use; and it is so con
sidered by hundreds of the most competent
teachers and men of science in the Union,
us ho have recommended it. It is the book,
and the only book, particularly and ex
pressly prepared for our .lincrican Schol
era : :Almon Ticknor.
THE YOUTH'S COLUMBIAN CAL
CULATOIL—Thi., c olumc contains
pages, w ith about 900 examples for solution
on the slate. It embraces the Fundamen
tal Rules, Compound Rules, Simple and
Compound Reduction, Single Ride of
Three, Proportion, ALc.
TICKNOR'S ARMIMETICAL TA
BLES, is destilind for the use of younger
classes in the Schools of the U States.
A beautiful little hook and pleasing to
children, and the only one of the kind of
ant• value.
There are keys to both Arithmetic's,
bound single or double, fur the convenience
of teachers, in which the solutions of the
questions are given sod much extra mat
ter for the black board. These Keys are
the most complete works of the kind ever
published, and Contain, in addition, about
two hundred examples in Mensuration, &c.
for the use of the Teacher. All that is
wanted is to have the above books exam
ined. and no teacher who is acquainted with
the science of Arithmetic, will hesitate to
pronounce them the best works that have
ever been published in this or any other
country.
Although issued but a few months, they
have already been introduced into the
Night Public Schools of New York City
—hr all the Shoots, public and private,
except two, in the City of Reading. Al
so, in about twenty Academies in the

•
I hope I find you bright this morn,
And hippy as the year just born—
Like it, exporting wealth and fame
To glad your heart and waft your name.
The burden of my song for years,
Has been a nation's wrongs and tears—
Wrongs that breathe a horrid tale
Of orphans' woe and widows' wail—
Of gallant heart', whose pulse, forever
Still, to throb in Glory'. canoe shall never
Awake, though Glory shout forever,—
Of blood whose loss bath shed a gloom
O'er every heart, as though the tomb .
Had shut its jaws upon that pow'r
Which nations need in dang'rous hour—
Of - threat'oing millions o'er the 'nation,
Pended by th' Administration,
Whose niche in never.dyipg story,
Will breathe of infamy, not glory.
But nowthe clash of arms, the roar
Of war's loud thunder, float no more
On Southern breezes : o'er the land
Peace stretches oat her high command.
Jaxas K. ere long must leave the throne—
A T4411.0a claims. it-es his own,
Whom JIM m r wrong'd and whom the natio
Callirter.incnd tli Administration.
Who cries : change our appellation.—
Just in the midst or viceries great, I
And et their head the Keystone State 7
Cite novas, Mom's, and others like 'em, l
Shame, disgrace, confusion, strike 'em !
We've had it Inhg, we'll.lieveit longer, 1
While every day We're gioWintetronger.

To WALK it's Tariff ResOlution.'

Products from sonic foreign shore, I
Where man must be his fellow's slave, i
And toil or step into his grave.
1 ,
The product of this toil comes o'er, .
Commended by a value lower ' 1 1 •
Than that which Freedom here demands
For products coming from her hands.
This foreign avenue was closed
By a Tnriff Bill proposed
And pass'd In eighteen forty-two—
And now againi resorted to.
By-the-by, the Postage Bill
Is drawing some attention still.
It's hard to tell what now they'll do,
As every time comes something new.
Put let me tell you what commotion , 1
Envelops men beyond the ocean-- e .1
Bow Freedom there is smiting kings,
And gathering conceits 'iicalli her wings—
Suppressing chains and despots' nod,
As men 'should do who worship Uoil !
Titled ancestry is falling—
Aristocracy is calling
Powers of earth and air to give
It aid that it may longer live.
France, aroused, has long since Pent
Her sovereign into banishment—
And thus, freed from Louis Pisit.t.terz,
She stands another rimer icur.

HOW To Gtvy..—At a missionary meet
ing among the slaves in the West Indies.
ihese three resolutions were agreed to :
"I. We will give something."
"2. We will give as God has enabled
"3. We will give willingly."
As soon as the meeting was over, a lead
ing slave took his seat at a table, with pen
end ink, to put down what each came to
give. Many came forward and put down,
some more and some less. Among those
that came was a rich
,old slave, almost as
rich as all the rest put together, who threw
down on the table a small silver coin.—
"Take dat back again," said the slave who
received the money ; "dat may be accord
ing to de first resolution, but notacc.ording
to do second." The rich old man accord
ingly took it up, and hobbled back to his
seat in great rage. One after another came
forward, all giving more than himself, he
was ashamed, and again threw a piece of
money on the table, saying—" Dar, take
(lat." It was a valuable piece of gold, but
it was given so ill-temperedly that dle . slave
answered again—"No dat wont do yet—
It may be 'cordin' to de first find second
resolutions ; but not 'cordin' to de last ; "
nd he was obliged to take up the coin a
gain. Still angry at himself and all the
rest, he sat a long time, till nearly all were
gone, and then came to the table, and with
a smile on his face very willingly gave a
large sum to the treasurer. "Berry well,"
said the slave, "dat 31112 accordin' to all de
resolutions."
SOUND VIEWS IN THE RIGHT QUARTER.
—The following extract 'is from an Ad
dress delivered by the lion. Wm. Tyrell,
before the State Agricultural Society of
Georgia : •
'Unless we reform our present system
of tillage, we soon shall be absolutely ru
ined. 13y excessive cotton culture we are
fast bringing about a state of things in which
our negroes and our laud will be alike
worthless. The abandonment of our old
and worn out plantations in Georgiafor the
cultivation of the fresh virgin sods at , the
Southwest, which has served the '
.turn of
so many when cotton was at a fair price,
will not be available under an entirely dif
reran' condition of Whigs in the markets
of the world. As Me latter change to the
progress of nations, unless we altermur
_system. of Agriculture, and wisely adept'
it to the wants ofvivillied teen, what has
has hitherto been to us a prolific souree of
wealth', Will-hereafter , bring poverty lad
degradation. Abolitionists need not trouble
themselves about the manumission of our
slates; nor politicians about eitithlisbing
new tamps:store in planting,' in Cailifoinia
sod New Mexico. The conyetition 'Will
soon reach a point whereithe Ownenthip

as cotton ; and thereby improve instead of
exhausting our laud."

have to say, that this thing called newspa

I pauses—your patience iceshauened--tutd

and wants a change.. Thinks he would
like a city "Dollar Weekly?! Tells the

Paying for it is among the. least 'of Buis

look over, his account and send him a bill
