Mist’s Ixtfk LITERARY ITEMS. The high price bf paper and labour is bringing the book trade nearly to a atand-still. Comparatively few an nouncements of new works are made, and only a moderate degree of activity prevails. In the face of great successes to our arms on land and water, gold bias pertinaciously held a very high figure, and paper-makers actually advanced their prioes in the week between the fall of Fort Morgan and the occupation of. Atlanta! Such items of interest as we find iQ Childs’ Gazette and, Circular we give below: AMERICA. The Hon. Edward O. L., will deliver a course- of lectures on the Law of Nations before the Law Schpol of Harvard College during the ensuing term. As his time for many years has been principally devoted to the study of this important subject, the lectures can not fail to prove instructive and inter esting. It is hoped Mr. Everett will soon be prepared to publish his long-ex pected work on the Law of Nations. At the present time it is much needed.

Morgan Dix, Rector of Trinity church, FOREIGN. M. Hachette, the Paris Publisher. —The death of the senior member of the publishing house of Hachette & Cie took place at Paris in July. M. L. Hachette was in his sixty-fourth year. The Paris Correspondent of the Circular, under date of July 22d, writes: I regret to say that M. Hachette, the founder of the most important publishing firm in France, lies quite ill at his beau tiful country-seat in Plessis Piquet. It Was even rumored some days since that he was dead. He recently made a jour ney to the Southern provinoes, and after partaking of the copious meals furnished at the inns of that portion of France, he felt sick. Symptoms of poisoning ap peared. Upon investigation it was found that the copper vessels in which the din ner was prepared were not so clean as they might be, and a copper oxide had beep formed. I am surprised that in this country, where - all the kitchen utensils are of copper, these accidents do not oftener occur. He returned at once to Paris, and summoned the best medi cal skill.* Fears were entertained for some days that the malady would baffle their exertions, but he is now considered out of danger,: and it is hoped that he may soon,, be able to superintend, the great work he will publish next winter —an illustrated Bible, on which he has already expended $400,000. ij ’ Mpoiem’* I&e <rf ‘ The French Emperor’s “ Life of Caesar” is agam laid aside by its author for an in definite period. The forms of so much of it as is printed are chained together at the imperial printing-office, arid one man keeps. the key, and is responsible for them. The author is very nervous about the work, and he is afraid of some proof-sheets getting into publicity be fore the work is ready for publication. M About 'and the have been a good deal; amused; by ri quarrel between an irritable sculptor and M. Edmond About. The latter was charged with writing a report on the Fine Arts Exhibition for one of our newspapers. He said in one of his ar ticles : “M. Lepere is skilful, educated, more than intelligent.” The sculptor wrote a note to the Writer to ; Inquire whet he meant. “ What do you mean to say, sir ? lam very much ; afraid you mean to say that I am better edu cated than intelligent, and that the comma signifies nothing! And even if ’tis there, it might not have been there.” M. About replied: “ The comma proves, Sir, that I look upon you as a man who is educated, and more than intelligent.” M,. Lepere was not satisfied and appeal ed to the law to redresß his grievance. M. About answered: “I am challenged to explain and to say that if that com ma be a serious, solid, established, in tentional comma, and if I meant to say that M. Lepere was both an educated man, and a man of remarkable intelli gence. I hasten to declare that Iwa s still under the impression when T wrote my article, that is to , say , a fortnight ago." Wasn’t that home-thrust de served? Prof. Rudolph Wagner, one of the most eminent professors of Goettingen University, died prematurely a short time since. He was born at Bayreuth, (Bavaria,) in 1805 ; he pursued ; his medical studies at the Universities of Erlangen and Wurtzburg, and took i the degree of A. M., when he was only one-and-twenty. He came to Paris in 1827, and followed assiduously Cuvier’s lectures, which determined him to devote himself to comparative anatomy. He was Blumenbach’s successor in the chair of physiology in Goettingen University. He was the author of numerous works on pure anatomy, comparative anatomy, zoology, and anthropology. He Was regarded as the head of the spiritual scientific school in .Germany. Tennyson’s “Northern Farmer.”— The poem called “ Northern Farmer” in Tennyson’s new volume is. not in the Yorkshire dialect, as has been declared, but in that of Lincolnshire. Mr. Ten nyson was born in Lincolnshire. John Wesley. —A German periodical, “Zeitschrift fur die Historische Theolo gie,” publishes the Diary of John Wes ley during a tour in Germany in 1738, together with an account of hjs inter view and conversation with Zinzendorf in 1741, Communicated by K. H. Sack. Queen Victoria anAiithorf— lt is known that Queen Victoria wrote -part of the Introduction to the volume of her husband’s speeches and addresses. : The gossips of London are circulating a story that she is the writer of a tale in Comhill Magazine entitled “ Margaret Denzil.” It has been stated that the copy had been actually seen in the hand-writing of Arthur Helps, with oc casional touches, from the royal finger. The story is described as a heavy, lum bering, and involved novel, and the re port attributing it to the Queen, especi ally in her circumstances, is stoutly de nied. THE EARLY DAWH. The first chapter of: this last produc tion of the gifted authoress of the Schon berg Cotta Family, is designed to: illustrate the religious Character of the British Isles, more than seventeen cen-?. taries ago—an age characterized by the writer as one of “ Lights and Shadows of the. Early Lawn.” "■■■■'■ An old Druidical Priest had just been celebrating, on the Cornish coast, and; in the dead of night, the mysteries of his .worship. It was after the Roman invasion. His race was conquered • their religion was proscribed; their worship forbidden,and their priests hunted down. After the solemnities of th e worship were completed, his company, now few and fearful, scattered into the darkness, while he alone wandered by the light of the dying embers of the altar fires towards his solitary hiding place. On the way he encountered a Hebrew, like himself hunted and hated by the con querors, and from him learned the won drous Theism and immortality of Old Testament Revelation ; alsoT what to Ms view was the yet unfulfilled hope of Israel. At this point we take up the Story from the pages of the volume : When they walked inland thus for some time, they saw before them a ia . borer, in an earth-stained' and common dress,;.going to his work in one of the mineß which of old had tempted the : Phoenicians to those very shores. This miner was evidently young, and had the lithe grace of the South about his form and movements; _ As he walked he Bang, and the tones bf his rich South ern tenor rose clean arid full through the clear morning air.; The cadence was different from any music the Druid had ever heard. There was a repose about the melody, quite foreign to the wild wails or war songs of his people/ And as they drew near,-the language was th; fiim as strange. They stepped on .soßly behind the singer, and/list; ened. ■ - ; “Strange words to hear in such a place,” murmured the Jew at length. “They are Greek —the language of.a people s whd dwelt of old/and dwell still, in tho East, near the home of my fore- They' drew near and greeted the stranger-. ' There, was a gentle and easy courtesy in hia manner as he returned -their salutations, which, in a son of the North, would have betokened high breeding, but in him might bo merely the natural bearing of hia acute and ver satile race. Ho willingly complied when i., TJ3. UHSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1864. Pe -A. -r. M ?: the Jew asked him to repeat his song, which he translated thus to the Druid:— Glpry to (Jod, jn tlio highest, And on earth pBACe, - 1 Good-Will among men 1 We prahe Thee, Wa bless Thee, We worship Thee For thy great glory, O Lord, "heavenly King, O God the Father ruling, all, O Lord the only-begotten Son, Saviour; /Messiah, With the Holy Spirit. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Who takest away the sins of the world, Receive our prayer. Thou Who sittest at the right hand of the .. . Rather, ' Hay o mercy on us, For Thou only art holy— i Thouonly.art th'o.Lord, Saviour, and Messiah— : To the glory of God the Father. Amen. “ Ask him if ho has. any .other such sacred .songs,” said the Draid j q the words sound to me beautiful and true, like an echo of half-forgotten music, heard long ago in some former lifefrom which perchance my soul came into this.” ; 1 ...- •‘ I will chant you our evening hymn,” said the miner; and he sangagain—“ Joyful light of heavenly glory, ; Of the immortal heavenly Father, The holy and the blessed Jesus Christ I We, comiag at the setting of the sun, j Seeing the evening light, Hymn the Father and the Son, And the Holy Spirit, God. Worthy art Thou at all times to be praised With holy voices, Son of God, Thou who givest light, Therefore doth the world glorify Thee. “ Wonderful words,” said the Jew, after translating them. “ They seem almost like a response from heaved to wbat you said; like the promise of the dawn for man; for which you longed. Friend,” he said to the miner, “ now earnest thou hither?. Thy learning is above thy calling.” “ Not so,” replied the other meekly. “I was never other than A poor man. These truths are common to the most unlettered among us.” “ To whom does ho allado by ‘ us ?’•” asked the Druid when he understood. “We are the Christians,’the men of Christ," said the stranger, replying to the Druid's question in his 1 own native Celttc language, although with a foreign accent. “ I was a vine-dresser on the sunny hills near Smyrna. My father learned the faith from the ApOstle John, the Beloved jrand I was exiled hither to; work in thei iminesiin the far West be cause I could mot deny my Lord." j “ Bitter change,” said the Jew, “ from those vine-clad Southern hills to toil in, the darkness on these cold northern. shores.” ’ ’ 1 ' “ Where lam going there will be no need of the sun was the calm reply; but the. ominous hectic flush deepened on his hollow cheek. “How, then,” said the. Druid, “is your faith maintained in this life of ex ile ahd bondage? Here .you can have no temple and no priest." ~ “ Wo have a Tempie !” was tbo; joy ful reply, “ not made with hands; j and a Priest, though not seen by mbrtal eyes.” ' 1 “He speaks in parables;’’ said the Druid. - “Jl-speak no parables,” said the Ohris tian,'“ but simply matters of fact, of which we are all assured.” / “Have. you then -also asked the Druid. “We have & Sacrifice,” was the low aridreverehtreply 3 “ One, spotless arid, eterhai; .never more to be ‘repeated. The Highest gave bis Son. The Holy Dne-yielded up hipiseif. God, has pro the Son of God are one.” ; •, : - “ He:speaks;of the promise made to our father-* Abraham,”: exclaimed the ■ •Jew: - .''' -■ 1 Dife for life," murmured the Druid, “ life '.of' man for life Of man.” ; | •«-Nay,' it'was, not man who made the. sacrifice,".said the Christian, “but'God. Not tlie;siiiner’s life was'required 5 the Son yielded up his own." : \ . “ You have then no sacrifices to offer now." said the Druid. i : J “ Not so,” said the Christian joyfully; :c we have a daily; ceaseless sacrifice to; offer—a living sacrifice, acceptable: to God through Jesus Christ; even our selves, to do aid suffer all the holy will of God, wo ourselves, body, soul and spirit, to fulfil the will of Him who loved us and redeemed us with his pre cious blood to God.” “But,” resumed the 'Druid, “is that holy life, which you say was willingly yielded upfdi 2c man, extinct for evesf Shall the holy perish and the guilty live?” -"■■■ ' : “ Nay,” was the reply; in a tone of concentrated fervor, “that immortal life could uot perish. The Son of God is risen from ,the: ;de.ad,' and. dieth no more, now,” be continued,'speak ing eagerly, as one who has good news to tell, “Ho sitteth enthroned at the right hand of G od, the Sun of the City above.” . , “ Have you then also a sacred city ?” said tie Jew in a tone of surprise. , < ' “It lieth toward the sun-rising,” re.-, plied the Christian, in the: words of an early martyr, “ Jerusalem the heavenly, the city of the holy.” ;, : „ o Your golden age, your holy city, are theri in the future, not in the past,” said both. ' ■■■ - •" “ Yon speak of an immortal life for each than,” added the Druid, “but?is there.never to be a good time for man hind ?” - ' ", . “It is written, that the Bang, the Christ,, will .come again In glory, to judge the wicked and to raiso Ohe‘just.” was the reply; ■ “ and that then,; truth and righteousness shall reign on earth, for he is holy, and just, and true, and in, Him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.” Often, during the months that fol lowed, the Hebrew and the Druid sought that lowly miner’s hut. There Jew and Gentile learned togther concerning Him who is. the. Hope of Israel and the De- Bire-of all nations. The blank wall of darkness, which to the Jew had seemed so strangely and abruptly to close the long path of pro phetic light and promise, parted and displaying to his adoring gaze the Sacrifice to whom all sacrifices pointed, the Priest in whom all priest hood is consummated, the Ring of whom Hebrew kings and prophets sang, in whom all dominion centres. To the Druid the dim desires of: his 1 heart were at once explained and ful filled. Sin and falsehood were discov ered and brought to shame. “ Life and immortality were brought to light.” And on both gradually dawned, as the power and the wisdom of God, not a doctrine merely, nor a ritual, but the Christ, the Son. of, the living God. Thus along the rocky shores of the Atlantic rose in threefold 1 harmony jthe Christian hymns to Him who lieareth always; the Sun whose presence is day to : faith, the Glory for which Israel waited,>the Redeemer for whom all ; na tions blindly groped and longed, the lamb of God who taketh away, the sin of the world. , There. also, ore long, in that lowly hut, those strangers watched as bro thers by the death-bed of the Smyrhioto ‘exile, now one with them in Christ. And there, on that bleak shore, they buried him, in a quiet nook, consecrated by solitude, and thenceforth by the im mortal seed of “ the body that shall be.” Races .have passed away since then, And civilizations,; rituals and religious systems have grown up, run to seed, and perished'; but from those early ages to this that now song of life and hope has never been entirely silenced on our British shores.

The Commission, on the prosecution of .its great labors in the. various : aimies of the Union, is each ddy acdUUiulating evidence unmistakeable that its work is needed in a peculiar. manner. The gratitude of the soldiers and officers is expressed so often and so strongly as to show that a great want is being supplied by the ministrations of the delegates of the Commission. To continue the work of the past in measure more abun dant, is the design for. the future. In this, every child and man or woman can aid in some way.; Let all remember that the smallest mite: in aid of-tbe-‘Commission. is cast into the Lord’s treasury, and that if it be followed with earnest faith, may be for blessing to those in sore distress of body or soul.
