ON THE AMERICAN UNION. GIANT aggregate of nations, Live united, hands and hearts! Every petty class-dissension, Heal it up, as quick as thought, Fling away absurd ambition! Be above such grovelling things! All your hate be-joys of war, Were I but some scornful stranger, 'If it seems a thing unholy Charm'd with your commingled beauty To redeem from bond the bound! So, a peerless constellation May those stars forever blaze! M. F. TUPPER THE END. OF LADY JANE GREY. BY D. W. BARTLETT. In One Volume, 298 pp. 16mo. Price 75 Cents. Few women have ever lived whose unfortunate history has more deeply enlisted the sympathies of the world than that of Lady Jane Grey. The beauty of her person, the activity of her mind, the sweetness of her temper, and the purity of her character, were alike subjects of universal praise. That one so brilliant, so lovely, and so pure, should have fallen by the ax of the executioner, excites, even at this day, in all readers, a thrill of horror. Her history is peculiarly interesting, and embodies the story of one of the most charming heroines of history. Her melancholy fate will ever constitute one of the most striking illustrations of the cruelty, the madness and folly of religious bigotry and persecution, and of the recklessness of unscrupulous political ambition. WHAT REVIEWERS SAY, A work which will be eagerly sought, for the reader has in this volume one of the most interesting portions of English history.-Cayuga Cbief. A judicious biography of one of the most charming heroines of history.-New York Daily Times. This is a charming book. We have read it with the most thrilling interest.-Religious Herald. Mr. Bartlett always writes well, and he sustains his high reputation in this work, which is well set off by the publishers.-Boston Olive Branch. A very readable book.-Hartford Courant. We could wish that this volume might find a place in every young lady's library, to the displacement of some of the pernicious novels of the day.-Albany Courier. Very well written, and certainly worthy of becoming widely known.-Arthur's Home Gazette. His chapters and sentences are symmetrically constructed, while his ready perception appropriates all the points of interest in his subject, and rejects that which is irrelevant or not authentic.-Hartford Times. An easy, graceful writer, he seldom fails to add interest to the subject on which he writes-Christian Secretary. SOLD BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. Single Copies mailed, POST-PAID, to any address.

Voice of the Press.-Brief Extracts. Wo at last have a Temperance Book that pleases us. THURLOW W. BROWN has gives as such a book, and every lover of the good, the beautiful, and the true, should thank him for it.-Chicago Tribune. The Letters to a Friend are well and powerfully written, while the Tales and Sketches have an air of naturalness about them, which, combined with great vigor of expression, will very probably render them favorites with a large portion of the reading public.—Ar thur's Home Gazette. There is a vein of poetry running through all he writes; and many of his Reveries are touching and beautiful.-Syracuse Standard. The whole is written in a clear and captivating style, well calculated to please and instruct, and well adapted to promote the great temperance cause.-Canada Chris. Ado. The Tales and Sketches are intensely interesting; no novel more so, and will be as pernicious reading among the indifferent, and the sippers of cordials, &c., as Uncle Tom among the slaves-they would be enticed away and frightened from the neighborhood of strong drinks.- Windham (Vt.) Democrat. Full of freshness and earnestness, and pregnant with saving influences. Its circulation will aid the noble cause, and make converts among those whom our speeches and tracts may not reach.- Water Cure Journal. The contents of this work show considerable care in their preparation, although they were written during the respite of more arduous labor. The reader will never grow weary of reading such tales as Edward Carlton, Mortimer Hudson, or Mary Linn, or such reveries as Mabel, A Broken Home or Speak Lightly of the Dead.-Syracuse Jour. The stories in Mr. Brown's book go down to the bottom of the soul, and hold the reader in bewitching agony to rise and strike for freedom.-Carson League. As a temperance orator and writer the author has but few superiors in point of effectiveness, and as a true lover of the cause, his devotion is seldom surpassed.-Teetotaler. They evince first and foremost, a sincere and earnest sympathy, and a righteous indignation against rum and rumsellers; and possess a deep and thrilling interest as works of imagination. Some of them are replete with affecting suggestions, and all do great credit to both the head and the heart of the author.-N. Y. Evangelist. Such vivid pictures and striking phases as are portrayed in this work are seldom found. The touching tale of Edward Carlton, the fall of that brilliant "child of genius," is deeply interesting, and leaves a lasting impression upon the mind of its reader.-Star Spangled Banner. The work will be read with interest and profit; it contains many beautiful passages, and is pervaded by a pure, manly, healthy sentiment.-Northern Christian Advocate. Whoever would see the Temperance reform illustrated by irresistible lessons from life, may turn to these pages with the assurance of being amply gratified. To temperance people this will be a work of great interest.-Philadelphia Courier. This book should be in every family. It is a book for the fireside for the family. It will instill principles into the hearts of the young, that will serve them in after years when they go out to battle with the temptations and realities of life. Every copy that is sold and read will be powerful in the manufacture of a healthy and sound public opinion. This is no mere puff for which we are paid by a copy of the book, for we purchased and read the first copy that has come under our observation.

LIFE OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Sixth President of the United States BY WM. H. SEWARD. Steel Portrait, 404 pp. 12mo., Muslin. Price $1 00. His For more than half a century, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS had occupied a prominent position before the American people, and filled a large space in his country's history. His career was protracted to extreme old age. He outlived political enmity and party rancor. purity of life-his elevated and patriotic principles of action-his love of country, and devotion to its interests his advocacy of human freedom, and the rights of man-brought all to honor and love him. Admiring legislators hung with rapture on the lips of "the Old Man Eloquent," and millions eagerly perused the sentiments he uttered, as they were scattered by the press in every town and hamlet of the Western Continent. This is the only life extant of John Quincy Adams which is within the reach of the people. The immense and continued demand for it, therefore, is not surprising. It is one of those fireside books which will be within the everyday reach of American readers. It is a book that cannot fail to be read with interest by the scholar as well as the Inasses. The writer seems imbued with a sincere reverence for the great man whose career he chronicles, and depicts its various eventful incidents with spirit and fidelity. There is no book that we now remember, which presents in the same compass so much that is interesting in our history, during the period of which it treats.- Wash. Repub. We would recommend this work to every class of mind-to the vicious, that they may be benefited by the contrast; to the virtuous, that they may be incited to still higher attainments; to the patriot, that the love of country may be renewed in his bosom; to the christian, that he may see how to honor God in exalted positions; to the young, that they may drink from the pure rill of patriotism, and learn to cherish and protect their privileges; and lastly, to the old, that they may yet once more read the lessons of wisdom, as they distilled from the lips of him who was a Nestor among statesmen.- Wisconsin Chronicle. It is well adapted for popular reading, and comes within the means of every citizen. And possessing, as it does, a fund of historical and biographical information, of the most interesting description, it will be a desirable book for the library, and a welcome compan fon to any man who cherishes a respect for the memory of Adams.-Boston Journal. We have read this volume with great attention, and hasten to express our thanks to the author; not merely for the pleasure afforded us, but for the service rendered human. tv.- Louisville Examiner.
