s really the true way to prosper. We commend the volume to our readers as one of the best and most profitable of the many useful works which have been produced by the same accomplished writer.--_Godey's Lady's Book_. This is the title of a small volume published by Mr. J.W. Bradley, of this city. It is from the pen of Mr. T.S. Arthur--the story of two families, one of which prospers by the union of good-will which prevails among the brothers, and leads them always to aid each other in their worldly undertakings; while the other goes to rack and ruin, because the brothers always act upon the maxim, "Every one for himself." The moral is excellent, and cannot be too earnestly and widely inculcated. Mr. Bradley has produced this little work in very handsome style, with original embellishments from the fertile pencil of Mr. Croome.--_Scotts Weekly_. GOLDEN GRAINS FROM LIFE'S HARVEST FIELD, bound in full gilt, with a beautiful mezzotint engraving, 12mo, 240 pages. NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

These narratives, like all of those which proceed from the same able pen, are remarkable not only for their entertaining and lively pictures of actual life, but for their admirable moral tendency. It is printed in excellent style, and embellished with a mezzotint engraving. We cordially recommend it to the favour of our readers.--_Godey's Lady's Magazine_. TRUE RICHES; or, WEALTH WITHOUT WINGS, 12mo, 210 pages, with a fine mezzotint Frontispiece. NOTICES OF THE PRESS. This volume is written by T.S. Arthur, the most popular of all our American writers on domestic subjects. His intention is to direct the reader to the real riches of life, the wealth which cannot be taken away by the adverse events of fortune. The true wisdom of life, he shows us, is to place our fortune in ourselves, to make our own minds rich in intellectual treasures, and our hearts true to the legitimate purposes and ends of life. When the doctrine of this little volume becomes universally prevalent, a
