NOTICES OF PUBLICATIONS. 



Gallery op Illustriocs Americans. — This work 

 contains the ijortraits and biographical sketches of 

 twcnty-lbur of the most eminent citizens of the re- 

 public, since the deatli of Washington. It is a very 

 splendid and beautiful work, published semi-monthly, 

 on imperial folio drawing-paper, in a new and mag- 

 nificent style. These portraits are very skilfully ex- 

 ecuted, and do great credit to the artists, Brady and 

 D'A\^gnon. The letter-press, or biography, by the 

 editor, C. Edwards Lester, is brief, comprehensive, 

 and appropriate. No. six contains the portrait and 

 history of Col. Fremont, senator elect from Califor- 

 nia, and one of the most illustrious men of the age.

The Illustrated Domestic Bible, by Rev. Ingram 

 Cobbin. — "We have examined the specimen number 

 of this work. The mechanical execution is remark- 

 ably neat, the print of good size, clear, and distinct ; 

 the illustrations are prepared for instruction rather 

 than decoration ; and the commentaries and prac- 

 tical reflections are judicious, interesting, and well 

 adapted to edify and instruct the reader ; and they 

 are apparently free from sectarian bias. The editor 

 has long been distinguished for his sound evangel- 

 ical writings and anti-sectarian principles. This 

 work is published by Samuel Hueston, 139 Nassau 

 St., New York, at 25 cts. a number ; to be com- 

 pleted in twenty-five numbers. It will contain seven 

 hundred engravings, and three finely executed steel 

 maps. It will be issued on the first and fifteenth of 

 each month. 



He who swallows up the substance of the poor, 

 will, in the end, find that it contains a bone which 

 will choke him. 



THE GRAND EXHIBITION OF 1851. 



BY MARTIN FARQUHAR TUl'PER. 



Hurrah' for honest Industry ! hurrah for handy 



SkUl! 

 Hurrah for all the wondrous works achieved bj' 



Wit and Will ! 

 The triumph of the artisan has come about at length, 

 And kings and princes flock to praise his comeliness 



and strength. 



The time has come, the blessed time, for brethren to 



agree, 

 And rich and poor of every clime at unity to be. 

 When Labor, honored openly, and not alone by 



stealth, 

 With horny hand and glowing heart may greet his 



brother Wealth. 



Ay, Wealth and Rank arc Labor's kin, twin breth- 

 ren all his own. 



For every high estate on earth, of labor it hath 

 grown ; 



By duty and by prudence, and by study's midnight 

 oil, 



The wealth of all the world is won by God-rewarded 

 toll! 



Then hail ! thou goodly gathering, thou brotherhood 



indeed ! 

 Where all the sons of men can meet as honest labor's 



seed; 

 The tribes of turbancd Asia, and Afric's ebon skin, 

 And Europe and America, with all their kith and kin ! 



From east and Avest, from north and south, to Eng- 

 land's happy coast. 



By tens of thousands, lo ! they come, the great in- 

 dustrial host, — 



By tens of thousands, welcomed for their handicraft 

 and worth ; 



Behold ! they greet their brethren of the workshop of 

 the earth. 



Right gladly, brother workmen, will each English 



artisan 

 Rejoice to make you welcome all, as honest man to 



man. 

 And teach, if aught he has to teach, and learn the 



much to learn, 

 And show to men, in every land, how all the world 



may earn ! 



Whatever earth, man's heritage, of every sort can 



yield. 

 From mine and mountain, sea and air, from forest 



and from field ; 

 Whatever reason, God's great gift, caii add or take 



away. 

 To bring the worth of all the world beneath the 



human sway ; 



Whatever Science hath, found out, and Industry hath 

 earned, 



And Taste hath delicately touched, and high-bred 

 Art hath learned ; 



Whatever God's good handicraft, the man He made, 

 hath made ; 



By man, God's earnest artisan, the best shall be dis- 

 played ! 



O, think it not an idle show, for praise, for pride, or 



pelf; 

 No man on earth who gains a good can hide it from 



himself : 

 By any thought that anything can any how improve. 

 Who help along the cause of all, and give the world 



a move ! 



It is a great and glorious end to bless the sons of man. 

 And meet, for peace and doing good, in kindness 



while we can ; 

 It is a greater and more blest, the human heart to 



raise 

 Up to the God Avho givcth all, with gratitude and 



praise !
