MITCHELL. Seven Stories, with Basement
and_ Attic. By the author of "My Farm
of Bdgewood." - New York: Charles
Scribner. 12mo, pp. 314, laid, tinted
paper; bevelled boards. Philadelphia:
For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
Mr. Mitchell; who has become one of
the established favorites of the reading
public, has gathered into this volume a
number of his magazine articles, and
hung them together upon a thread of
foreign travel. The introduction is
gantly written and the tales are marked
by a gentle pathos, a delicate humor
and a smooth and pleasing diction,
which are very entertaining. But be
yond entertainment of a pure and unob
jectionable sort, we cannot perceive that
the author has any object. The pub
lisher has issued the volume in very
elegant style.

Although Mr. Raymond professes
chiefly to give documents and public
utterances of Mr. Lincoln, the narrative
by which he links them together, is one
of deep interest, and some startling re
velations of the moving forces at work
in various periods of the war are given.
The topics treated aro : Mr. Lincoln's
previous history; From the Election to
the Inauguration ; Military Events of
1861 ; The President and Gen. McClel
lan ; Arbitrary Arrests; Suspension of
habeas corpus; Military Events of 1863;
Movements towards Reconstruction ;
The Rebellion and Labor; AdvaUeing
Action Concerning the Negro Race, &c.-
Mr. Lincoln's character suffers no in
jury, but the contrary, as we aloe thus
admitted to nearer views of its work
ings-under the great pressure of events.
Shrewdness, good sense, straightfor
ward honesty, patience, real sincere de
votion to the interests of the country,
and no mean share of administrative
ability, appear in these documents and
transactions. While we are not of those
who see only what is right and wise in
Mr. Lincoln's administration, we are
firmly persuaded that the elevation of
a man of his character to the chief seat
of power in our Nation at thiS time, is
a clear proof of divine mercy to the Na
tion, and that impression is strengthen
ed in glancing over Mr. Raymond's
book. Mr. Barr - loud, as editor of the
Yew York Times, has had ample oppor
tunity to familiarize himself with the
topics of the volume, and his talents as
a writer as well as his political career,
qualify him to present a work that may
be both read with pleasure and depend
ed on for its facts and reasonings.

LITERARY ITEMS
THE ALLEN SALE.—The sale of the libra
ry of the late well-known antiquarian, Mr.
John Allen, which commenced is New
York, May 2, is reportedsas having been
remarkably sacoessfal. Some of the pri
ces obtained were indeed extraordinary.
The total amount reached by the sale
was $15,000. The excitement and corn.
petition were manifest in the high rates
reached by many articles. The works
were profusely illustrated, and in some
oases every page was inlaid. An illus
trated edition of Burns ' five volumes,
sold for $2OO. Byron's "English Bards
and Scotch Reviewers," 145 portraits,
views, etc., and 44 autographs, $130;
another edition, with 110 portraits, etc.,
$2O; Dibdin's " Bibliomania," 2 vols.,

plates, $1250: another copy, with 107
plajcs, $400; a third copy, $55; "Mary,
Queen of Scots," illustrated with 236
portraits, views, etc., $375. A respect
able number of missals realized on the
average about $75 each; one, however,
described in the catalogue as " Missal°
Splendidissima," brought $4OO. Even
the large paper copies of the catalogue
are now reported as being worth $B, and
the small ones $2, the - latter being pub
lished, we believe, at 50 cents. One of
the rarest and noteworthy articles in the
sale was the Eliot Indian Bible. It was
purchased by Mr. J. W. Bouton, .book
seller, of New York, for $825, as above
stated. It is one of those bibliographi
cal gems which has great value on both
sides of the Atlantic, and it is not likely
that an opportunity for collectors to
supply themselves will soon occur again.
It is understood that Mr. Bouton will
entertain a 9 offer of purchase at a
reasonable advance upon the price paid
by him.

which allows the work to be hawked

Book-pedaling in France is a great or

PROM A CHAPLAIN IN BURNSIDE'S
DIVISION.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va., May 18th
BRO. MEARS :—The strange vicissi
tudes of army life bring me to date my
letter from this rebel town again. I
have written to you from North Caro
lina, Virginia, Kentucky and Missis
sippi, and now once more from Virginia,
on my third visit to Fredericksburg
first, before we joined Pope in his
retreat, when the town was in our pos
session ; then, about the time of the first
battle of Fredericksburg, under Burn
side, When the rebels were in possession ; ;
now, when the town is filled with wound
ed from the battles of the - Wilderness
and Spottsylvania Court House.
The town is one vast hospital; public
and private houses, crowded from roof
to basement with the victims ot this
horrid strife. The agents of the Sani
tary and Christian Commissions, are
seen everywhere with the green ribbon
of the former or the, metal badge of the,
latter, ministering to the bodies and
souls of. wounded dud dyiog.men. Here
is our Brother Aikm ot Wilmington,
busiest among the busy, in the basement
of a church filled with sadly mangled
human forms. I meet also Mr. Simmons,
of Green Hill Church, and Rev. Mr.
Johnston of Kensington, with many
others with whom lam less acquainted.
These brethren are doing a work which,
without them, would remain undone,
and are the means, I doubt not, of sav
ing many lives which would otherwise
be necessarily lost, where the labor to
be done is so immense and the regular
laborers so few. Even of these volun
teer nurses, one may well say, what are
these among so many?
Chaplains cannot.do the work. They
are generally to, be found at the brigade
and division hospitals on the field, where
the wounded are first brought and from
which they ars. forwarded its speedily
as possible to this place or to Washing
ton. If a chaplain comes here, he must
look up the wounded of his own com
mand who are sc.attered through, per
haps, twenty hospital., in various parts
of the city, so that his time and strength
are frittered away in the mere motion
from place to place. But a delegate of
the Commission has his own ward to
attend to, where he nurses the men,
and dresses their wounds, and supplies
their wants, and furnishes religious
reading, and holdS his religious meet
ings wit lout reference to the regiments
from which they come. Besides this,
they e.eale fresh from home; while the
army nurses and chaplains are fagged
out with excessive marching, and weak
ened by scant rations or poor fare. They
can keep up their. strength by the ex
citement of novel scenes and employ
ment, and then go home in two or three
weeks to recover from the fatigues and
privations of their present life amid the
delights and good fare of home; but we
must go OD, with no such hope to cheer
us and no such novelty to excite.
But I see that already the work is
wearing on them. The care-worn face,
the drooping form, and weary, step,
show that in these abundant labors they
are wearing, ; down, and I rejoice that
they may soon exchange this work for
the quiet and rest and regular meals of
home. The intolerable stench of-gun
shot wounds, and the stooping posture
in dressing the wounds, or in any way
helping or talking to men lying < on the
floor, rapidly wear out and sicken those
engaged in this benevolent work. There
is work here for many more self-denying
men, and new recruits for this army of
toil ought daily to supply the vacancies
which may occur in the ranks.
On'the Sunday between the fight at
the Wilderness and the fight at Spott
sylvania, exhausted with the heat and
dust and confusion of a march, reader
ed doubly wearisome by the contrast
with the holy calm of a Sabbath at
home, I stopped at a well around which
was gathered a crowd of thirsty soldiers,
and found a delegate of the Christian
Commission, drawing up the bucket,
time after time, to fill the canteens and
cups, of eager men with clear refreshing
water; emblem of that living water,
which whosoever drinks, shall thirst no
more. A very appropriate work I
thought it for a disciple of Him who said
that be who should give a cup of cold
water in His name, should not lose his
reward.
Great good are both these Commis
sions. doing, and I hope that a. benevo
lent public will not let either lack a dol
lar necessary for their work; but I wish
that Christian men would remember
that one is Christian and the other
merely Sandary ; that one is for the
body and the other for both body and
soul • that one seeks worldly means of
increasing its funds, and the other
Christian means; that the inlluence,of
the one is for Christ and the other
against him. You may think me un
necessarily captious, but I am sorry
when I see Christian men choosing to be
identified with that which is not Chris
tian, when they have an opportunity of
choice where their influence shall be
felt.
I have for years opposed this unequal
yoking of believers and unbelievers in
benevolent associations, for it throws
the influence of Christians in the wrong
scale. When any matter comes to a
vote, the world always has a majority,
and Christians unexpectedly find them
selves compelled to sustain some modi
fied form of gambling, or aiding and
abetting some.: sinful amusement, by
which money is wheedled out of unwil
ling givers.
Keep, I say, the world and the church
distant in this matter of benevolence,
as in all Christian du - ties, and give all
honor to worldly men who seek to bene
fit the soldier in their own way, even if
it be not our way; but why should we
give our sanction to the worldly means
by which they seek to accomplish a
good end ? Let us go to' the Sick and
wounded soldier in our distinctive char
acter as . Christians, not with food and
clothing and labor only, but with the
`Gospel as well; not saying, " Here's a
poor devil that wants a shirt, and we
must give him one;" not warning off
the Christian from a dying man, lest
talk about religion should - frighten him
and hasten his death; but with all
words of gentle Christian courtesy to
the hungry and naked, and offers of a
dying Saviour to all dying men.
I had intended to write more about
the campaign thus far, and our march
hither ; but must delay it till my next,
which shall be written in a few days.
WHAT IT OOST TO •BE .A.CHRISTIAN
IN THE EARLY OHIIROH.
In ancient times, most of the com
merce of this world was carried on
in the Mediterranean Sea alone.
Small trading vessels exchanged the
products of Asia Minor or Egypt with
those of Italy, France and Spain. Re
ligion followed in the tract of commer
cial enterprise in those days, much as it
does now; so that from Snayrna and
other Eastern ports, the early Chris
tians carried the Gospel to Lyons and
other ports in the West. Persecution
was an additional stimulus to the spread
of the Gospel, although in the newer
'Western regions, less known than the
Eastern, it did not immediately com
mence. As early as the second century,
however, a fearful persecution began at
Lyons under the reign of Marcus Auto
ninus. The fury of the .persecuting
multitude, the governor and the soldiers,
was expended upon pious men and wo
men
,alike. Among the holy women
was one BLANDINA, of humble station in
life, who made no boasting or preten
sion of her willingness to suffer; so that
her friends feared that on account of
the weakness of her body, she - would not
be able to witness a good confession.
She was endued however with so much
strength and fortitude, that those who
successively tortured her, from morning
to night, were quite worn out with fa
tigue, and owned themselves conquered
and exhausted. After some days were
allowed • her for partial recovery, she
Was taken to the amphitheatre along
with - many other Christians, to be torn
by wild beasts for the entertainment of
the assembled thousands.
For some reason, the beasts left her
untouched, while her constancy and firm
faith greatly strengthened the - other
martyrs who were dying around her.
On the last day of the spectacles, Blan
dina was again brought to the Arena
with Ponticus, a youth of fifteen. They
had been daily brought in to see the
punishment of the rest. The mob were
greatly incensed by their continued
firmness and contempt for suffering ; so
that no pity was shown, either the sex
of one or the tender age of the other.
Their tortures were aggravated by all
sorts of methods.—Ponticus soon died,
when poor Blandina was enclosed in a
net and thrown to a wild bull—under
whose tossing she at last breathed out
her soul.
In the next century a remarkable in
stance occurs at Smyrna, daring the
persecution of Decius. A Presbyter
named PioNius, was much beloved and
respected, both by the church and the
surrounding heathen. The officers of the
Government,had high respect for him,
using their best endeavors to induce
him to sacrifice to the idols and so to
save his life.
On his way to prison be addressed
the multitude, much as Stephen the first
martyr had done. He endeavored, with
burning words to convict men of sin and
bring them to feel the need of a divine
Saviour. The magistrates and people
plead With him to renounce his faith.
He was taken ,from prison, and, forced
with a rope around his neck, to the Idol
Temple, where every persuasion and ar
tifice were used to induce or compel
him to sacrifice and thus save his life.
He was finally sentenced to be burnt
alive. The martyr went to the stake
cheerfully, thanking God that he had
been preserved from idolatry. After he
Was stretched and nailed to the wood
the executioner said to him- " Change
your mina and the nails shall be taken
out." "I have felt, them," replied Pio-
Mina. " I hasten, 0 Lord, that I may
sooner be partaker of the resurrection."
While the fire was burning around him,
he. said "Amen : Lord, receive my soul ;"
and so fell asleep.
How joyous must have been his re
ception in the arms of that Saviour upon
whom he had been relying through such
fearful trials
We,Cbristians of the Nineteenth Cen
tury cannot but feel humbled when we
think of what it cost to be a Christian
in the early church. How many of us,
or rather how few of us would endure
torture or persuasion as did Blandina or
Pionius. - G. W. M.
