For virtue, and true beauty of the soul,
For honesty, and decent carriage,

A right good husband, let him be a noble;

And, sure, those men are happy that shall have them.
The last is, for my men ;-they are the poorest,
But poverty
could never draw them from me ;-
That they may have their wages duly paid them,
And something over to remember me by;

If heaven had pleas'd to have given me longer life,
And able means, we had not parted thus.

These are the whole contents: And, good my lord,
By that you love the dearest in this world,

As you wish Christian peace to souls departed,
Stand these poor people's friend, and urge the king
To do me this last right.

Сар.
By heaven, I will;
Or let me lose the fashion of a man!

Kath. I thank you, honest lord. Remember me
In all humility unto his highness:

Say, his long trouble now is passing

Out of this world: tell him, in death I bless'd him,
For so I will.-Mine eyes grow dim.-Farewell,
My lord.-Griffith, farewell.-Nay, Patience,
You must not leave me yet. I must to bed;
Call in more women.- -When I am dead, good wench,
Let me be us'd with honor; strew me over
With maiden flowers, that all the world may know
I was a chaste wife to my grave: embalm me,
Then lay me forth: although unqueen'd, yet like
A queen, and daughter to a king, inter me.
I can no more.-

[Exeunt, leading Katharine.

THE END

Book of Oratory.

By KDWARD C. MARSHALL, A.M. 12mo, 500 pages.

An Abridgment of the above. 12mo, 237 pages.

Marshall's "Oratory" presents superior claims to the attention of teachers of elocution, by reason of the choice character and great number of its selections, their novelty, variety, and peculiar adaptation to school purposes. It has been compiled expressly to meet the wants of common schools and academies, containing pieces of every style and length, and widely differing in difficulty of execution, so that the beginner and the proficient in the art may alike suit themselves from its pages. There is a freshness about the extracts that strikingly distinguishes them from the stereotyped selections in the old text-books. They consist of choice specimens of prose and poetry from the most distinguished American and English authors-from such master-minds as Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Everett, Prentiss, Wirt, Randolph, Channing, Longfellow, Bryant, Hood, Brougham, Scott, Byron, and Shakespeare.

In no other work is so perfect a picture of American eloquence presented, the statesmen of all sections of the Union being fully represented. The student who desires to form a just estimate of his country's orators, and to improve himself by the use of the admirable models which they have left, will find all that he can desire in this volume.

From the Evangelist.

"A large and admirable selection of pieces for declamation, copious and varied, and well chosen with reference to speaking. The range of selection is almost universal, at least among modern writers in prose, verse, and drama. The editor is a practical teacher of elocution, and evidently has a wide acquaintance with literature. It is cs good a work of the kind as we ever saw."

Introduction to the Study of Art.

By M. A. DWIGHT, Author of "Grecian and Roman Mythology." 12mo, 278 pages.

This work is the result of practical teaching, pursued for many years. It is nothing more than it purports to be-an introduction, intended to give some idea of the requirements of art, and to aid the beginner in its study. The rules presented are deduced from the works of the best masters, and are founded exclusively on nature. The young artist, too generally left to the vague and ill-directed promptings of his own genius, will find in this volume a safe and faithful gnide, with whose aid he can avoid the rocks on which others have split, and make the most satisfactory progress in his studies. There is no misunderstanding the teachings of the author. Their clearness and direct practical bearing enhance their value, and will recommend them not only to schools of design, but to all institutions in which Drawing is taught.

CONTENTS.-Imitation, Taste and Style, Form and Proportion, Muscles and Joints, Gravity of the Figures, Drawing of the Figure, Prospective of the Form, Light and Shade, Color and its Laws, Expression, Composition, Classification of Pictures, Portrait Painting, Landscape Painting, Ancient Pictorial Art, Symbolic Colors, Symbolic Emblems, and Sculpture.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Bain's Rhetoric:

AMERICAN EDITION, Revised. Large 12mo, 343 pages.

"The work on English Composition and Rhetoric by Prof. Bain, of the University of Aberdeen, seems to me to combine largely the excellences of Blair, Campbell, and Whately. I am so favorably impressed with the work that I have recommended its use in our University as a class-book.”—DANIEL READ, LL. D., Pres. of the State Univer◄ sity of Mo., and of the State Teachers' Association.

"I think Bain's Manual of Rhetoric the best book I have examined on the subject." -L. D. MCCABE, Prof. Rhetoric Ohio Wesleyan University.

"It is just the work for the students in our colleges."-Prof. THOMAS W. TOBEY, Judson Fem. Inst., Marion, Ala.

Dictionary of the English Language:

By ALEXANDER REED, A. M. 12mo, 572 pages.

This work, which is designed for schools, has been compiled with direct reference to their wants, by a teacher of experience, judgment, and scholarship. It contains, in small compass and the most convenient form, the Pronunciation and Definitions of all English words authorized by good usage; a full Vocabulary of Foreign Roots; an accented list of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names; and an Appendix, showing the pronunciation of nearly three thousand of the most important Geographical Names. It is philosophical in its arrangement, grouping derivatives under their primitives, and gives the root of every word in the language, thus affording a clear insight into comparative philology.

Either as a work of reference, or a text-book for daily study, this Dictionary will be found to possess important advantages over all others. Some of our best scholars commend it in the strongest terms: among whom may be mentioned Rev. Dr. HENRY, late of New York University; D. M. REESE, formerly Superintendent of Schools of New York; and the late Bishop WAINWRIGHT. Prof. FROST, of Philadelphia, pronounces the plan excellent. Rev. M. P. PARKS, late Prof. U. S. Military Academy at West Point, says: "I consider it superior to any of the School Dictionaries with which I am acquainted."

Advanced Course of Composition and

Rhetoric.

A Series of Practical Lessons on the Origin, History, and Peculiarities of the English Language, Punctuation, Taste, the Pleasures of the Imagination, Figures, Style and its essential Properties, Criticism, and the various Departments of Prose and Poetical Composition. Illustrated with Copious Exercises. By G. P. QUACKENBOS, LL. D. 12mo, 450 pages.

This work is an eminently clear and practical text-book, and embraces a variety of important subjects, which have a common connection and mutually illustrate each other; but which the pupil has heretofore been obliged to leave unlearned, or to search for among a number of different volumes. Claiming to give a comprehensive and practical view of our language in all its relations, this Advanced Course" views it as a whole, no less than with reference to the individual words composing it; shows how it compares with other tongues; points out its beauties; indicates how they may best be made available; and, in a word, teaches the student the most philosophical method of digesting his thoughts, as well as the most effective mode of expressing them.

It teaches Rhetoric not merely theoretically, like the old text-books, but practically, illustrating every point with Exercises to be prepared by the student, which at once test his familiarity with the principles laid down, and impress them on his mind so vividly that they can never be effaced.

Hon. A. CONSTANTINE BARRY, State Superintendent of the Common Schools of Wisconsin, in a Report to the Legislature of that State, uses the following strong language in relation to QUACKENBOS's works on Composition:

"It would be difficult to point out in these admirable books any thing that we would desire to have altered; they meet our wants in every respect, making no unreasonable draft on the time or patience of the teacher, and leaving him no excuse for neglecting to make composition a regular study, even with his younger classes. It is unnecessary to compare these books with others on the subject, for THERE ARE NONE THAT APPROACH THEM in clearness, comprehensiveness, excellence of arrangement, and above all, in direct practical bearing. Affording an insight into the mechanism of language, they will hardly fail to impart facility and grace of expression, and to inspire a love for the beauties of literature."

From PROF. JOHN N. PRATT, of the University of Alabama.

"I have been using QUACKENBOS on Composition and Rhetoric in the instruction of my classes in the University, and I am persuaded of its GREAT EXCELLENCE. The First Lessons in Composition,' by the same author, I regard as very useful for beginners. Of these two books, I can speak with the greatest confidence, and I do MOST HEARTILY RECOMMEND THEM to all."
