A stubborn subject is Browning, lose who have managed somehow to *t through “ Sordello,” will probably >gard the collection of smaller pieces this volume, obscure though many them be, as quite intelligible— easy reading, in fact. There is a ming to them, generally valuable, >n reaching to the centres of thought belief; often it is the perplexing lancing of opinions and guesses upon dark questions of human existence destiny and the divine government the world, in which the poet seems iself at a loss for a decision, while reader is in imminent danger of ing ' the thread of the argument .erly. Sometimes, however, as in the verses of “ Gold Hair,” the decision clear as a sunbeam and expressed ,hout circumlocution : 'be candid incline to surmise of late it tbe Christian faith may oe false, I find, 'or our Essays-aifd-Reviews’ debate gins to tell on the public mind, And Cblenso’s words have weight: still to suppose it true, for my part, j reasons and reasons; this, to begin : Tis the faith that launched point-blank her dart the head of a lie—taught Original Sin, .'he corruption of Man's Heart. There is also, in “ A Death in the nert,” some close and powerful argu itation for faith in the facts and ictrines of Christianity as against a ild and unbelieving idealism; and we 'pose that the perverted views of itiral Theology skilfully ascribed to ban On the Island of Setebos are iist'ent with the high purpose of poet to exalt right and scriptural ’S of religious truth in the volume; igh. we must confess some other jes and passages make us doubtful he soundness of the writer’s purpose losition.

While blood was flowing copiously, a lad, i had received instruction on the itment of such accidents at the ladelphia High School, rushed ragh the crowd that surrounded the larently dying man, placed his finger the divided vessel, and continued compression until the bleeding ar ' was secured by a sargeon.” 'he books are well supplied with jstions, Glossaries, and Indexes, and m a complete apparatus for teachers. )y have been extensively used in this rntry and abroad; having been intro ied as text-books in the Mission iools of China, Burmab, Ceylon, idwich Islands, and the Cherokee ifans; and translated into the Tamil iguage, by the missionaries of India. iNNAH More.

It is a healthful sign when works of this sorb are called for by the Christian public. The supremo importance, of prayer, as a duty, a privilege, and a power, cannot be too vividly realized by the church. Hannah Moro’a treatise is calm, philosophical, persuasive, and de serves to be held in living regard by sucoessivegenerations.

The very low price at which these publishers issue their great editions of the Quarterlies is a constant marvel. Without doubt, the public would long ago have sustained them in a reasonable advance. NORTH AND SOUTH. The terms North and South, which we familiarly apply to the two great belligerents in America, suggests much more to the student of geography and history than they commonly express. If we look,to the globe, or recall the past of the , human race, we shall find certrin qualities and fortunes usually associated with the North, while quali ties and fortunes of ah opposite charac ter are as usually associated with the South. North and South appear to be opposite poles in a moral and political as well as in a physical sense. Intel lect, will, energy, force of individual and national character—all that gives superiority in the world, have, with a singular uniformity, preponderated in the North. These qualities have, doubt less, been often strongly exhibited in the South, but seldom, if ever, with such strength as to secure ultimate vic tory or ascendency. To begin, then, with a purely physi cal truth, three-fourths or more of the habitable earth is north of the equator. On the north of the same line man was created, all the great nations of mankind have flourished, and all the great events of history have taken place. When the Jews were redeemed from Egypt they were planted in a northern country. But if Palestine, the land of religious truth, lay to the north of Egypt, Greece, the land of intellectual culture and of artistic beauty, lay to the north of both, and by her arms conquered both. Rome, again', the great military and civilizing power, had a still more northern posi tion and character than any of its pre decessors or rivals. In the struggle between Rome and Carthage, and be tween Rome and the nations of Asia, the North prevailed. Northern discipline, energy, and perseverance always proved more than a match for the qualites or efforts of the more luxurious South. To come down to modern times : Eu rope, the most civilized and powerful portion of the world, isessentialiy north ern. For centuries Europe has shown her superiority to Africa and Asia, acd it was reserved for her to discover and colonize America. But diviue Europe itself into two nearly equal parts by a line drawn parallel to the equator, and you will find tbe preponderance of en- Orgy, of intellectual vigour, and national life still on the North. On the north side of the line you will find such capi tals as Paris and Berlin, London and St. Petersburg. If you look at almost any. country of Europe you' will find that North and South possess their Well-known characteristics. Northern Italy produced the regenerating king dom of Sardinia, while Southern Italy was typifyed by the enslaved and dege-. berate kingdom of Naples. We all know the strongly marked characteris tics of North and South Germany. North Germany produced tbe Reforma tion, and nearly everything great that was associated with the German mind and character. South Germany, again, has uniformly been less intellectual and more given over to every kind of despo tism. The north of France is decidedly more vigorous in*an intellectual and moral sense than the sunny; smith. Paris in the north, not Marseilles or Ly ons in the south, is the. fitting Centre of French national life. . Relatively to France, Great Britain is not only the northern, but energetic, persistent, earth-subduing Power, in Great Britain herself we have al.so s >me Sinking illustrations of the eiiaiacter istics of North and South, flow much PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22,1864. of the pith and marrow of the popula tionofEngland lies northof the Thames? Of the leading men of all classes in Lon don, what a vast proportion are north countrymen ! We suspect that the men of Yorkshire and Lancashire are more than a match every way for the men of Kent and Surrey. Then England and Scotland have always formed a remark able national contrast. Without giving the palm of superiority to Scotland, we may say that the Scotch have always been northerns of the northerns. They have always had their full share of northern energy, intelligence, pertina city and pith. With their limited num bers and resources they maintained to the last their freedom and independ ence againsts the greater power and determined efforts of England. In Scotland itself the mystery of North and South produces its effects. The most characteristic portion of the Scotch people certainly dwells on tho north of the Forth; for the Lowlands have al ways had a Saxon and southern char acter. Then, if we go to Ireland, the phenomena of North and South again stare us in the face. In the South we have Popery, ignorance, and poverty; iu |the North we have Presbytery, in telligence, and material comfort. Re versing the epithets of O’Connel, we may talk of the bright North and the black South of Ireland. The tendency of the North to press upbn the South, or even to come down: upon it with irresistible force, is one of the commonplaces of history. The North has been called, the officina gentium, the store-house, or manufactory of na tions. We all know how tribes from the North of Europe overran the Roman Empire, took possession of the. effemi nate South, and founded the existing European kingdoms. The Saxons, the Normans, the Danes, all essentially northern in their origin, have given England and Scotland their best blood and highest qualities. The high metal of the French is also probably due to the Franks a northern race of free men, who have given their names to ancient Gaul. The application of this doctrine or theory of North and South to America may-be a delicate affair. But, in the first place, if wo take the New World as a whole, we must at once say that the Northern continent far surpasses the South. Coming to the, North and South of the once United States, we find the superiority of numbers, of wealth, of moral force, and of material resources on' the side of the former. Nobody can, deny the gallantry, patriotism, the de votion of the South, the energy with which she is fighting the battle of her independence, and the spirit of heroic self-sacrifice she is manifesting in the tremendous struggle. But she is cursed with the incumbus of slavery, which she has been hugging to her destruction,, instead of flinging off for her salvation. In that wealth and material that forms: the sinews of war she is also greatly inferior: to her Northern . antagonist, which, with other qualities, seems to possess a truly northern determination arid persevreaneo. If this bloody con test is to go on, then we do not see how, according to the lessons of history, the weaker can holdout against the stronger, or the South defend itself against the North. —London Weekly Review. SHOULD FARMERS OVERWORK THEM SELVES? We are no advocates of idleness. That all men should be usefully em ployed, we cannot doubt. But we do not believe that it is necessary or wise for the owners of farms to engage in hard manual labor the year round. Farmers have brains as well as muscles, and, the exercise of the former is quite as necessary to success in their profes sion, as the latter. Many, perhaps the mass of our farmers, exert their mus cles at the expense of their brains. The whole nervous energies of their system are thrown into their muscles, to be expended in the hard physical labor of the farm. Their brains become inac tive, and they become mere laboring machines, that toil early and late. If they pick up a paper or a book, they fall to sleep, as their overtasked system demands rest and repoße. If they at tend a lecture or a meeting, they return home about as wis'e as they went, as the exhausting physical- labors they have undergone nearly incapacitate them for listening, appreciating and di gesting the mental food set before them. Their brains are of no consequence unlets they can use them. If they use up the whole energy of tbeir physical system in plowing, and sewing, and hoeing, and haying, and harvesting, and the other labors of tho farm, tbeir brains are de prived of support, and their minds dull and incapable of exercise. True, there .8 now: and then a man of iron consti tution, who possesses a sufficient.amount of nervous and physical stamina to undergo great physical and mental labor; but they are exceptional cases, and are not to be regarded as of the majority of farmers. Now who is the most successful ? Is it the intelligent, wide awake man, who keeps posted and up with the ,times, or is it the hard working manual, labor, man, who takes the brunt of his own work, and so exhausts bis brain of its ownnervous energy that be can Scarcely rebkon up the price of a few pounds of pork, or a few bushels of grain or. pota toes, he may have to spare ? We be lieve in brains and their exercise. One of the shrewdest of American philoso phers has said, that ;ti the -eye of the master was worth both his hands.” We believe the owner of a farm can find profitable use for all his time, in tbe intelligent supervision and study of tbe various matters pertaining to bio farm, family and business, without daily performing as much or more physical labor than any of his hired help. Tbe man who makes it his business to be constantly delving, from early in the morning till late at nigbt on his farm, is likely to lose much more than he will gain. A gentleman of over three score years, stated to us that he had done a great deal of hard labor during his life, and had succeeded in accumulating enough to carry him comfortably through the remainder of his days, had he not used himself up by hard labor so that his health was so poor ho conld not enjoy it. He said if die were to live his life over again, ha should exercise his mus cles less and his brain more.” Said he could see now where he had missed it. That he might have been much better off, both pecuniarly and physically, if he had done less manual labor and more mental. Said he was well aware that they were not the most successful farmers that bad performed the most hard labor. Ho said that there could be no question that an intelligent study and supervision of one’s business would lead to more profitable results than any amount of hard labor that could be per formed with the hands. —Rural Mew Worker. 1 j PRESBYTERIAN RE-UNION. MOVEMENT ON THE OLD SCHOOL SIDE, During session of the O. S. Gene ral Assembly, at ’-Newark, last May, a meeting of ministers and elders belong ing to that , branch of the church, and denominated in the call “ friends of the speedy ire-union of the Presbyterian Church,” was held to consider measures for spreadingthe movement. The vene rable Dr. Tustin, who has so deeply identified, himself with the measure,' presided. A committee, of which Rev. Dr. Monfort, editor of ..the Cincinnati Presbyter, was chairman, was appointed to prepare,and. report a paper on the subject. The committee reported at an adjourned meeting a paper which was unanimously adopted ! and signed by seventy ministers and forty-three ruling elders. Among the former we notice the names of Drs. Tustin and Mon fort, Burt, of Cincinnati, Prof. Mollvaino, of Princeton, Miller; of Ogdensburg, and' Nevin, of this, city, and others whose names will give character to their ; auction. At the same time we are sur prised at the absence of the names of not a few who must have been on the ground, and from whom syinpathy with the sentiments of the meeting! was ex pected. The paper was ordered to be pub lished, and has just made its appear ance. We append—all we have room for this week—the recommendations embodied. By way of ascertaining tho views of the ministers,ruling elders and churches, and of calling - out, 'organizing and con centrating, public . sentimentyrsb as to open the, way for organic union as speedily as possible, wo propose the following measures: 1, We recommend to Presbyteries and Synods the: appointment of corres ponding delegates to attend the Pres byteries and Synods of the other branch, as a measure adapted to develope and promote the spirit of union. 2. We recommend union-meetings of Presbyteries and Synods, of the two bodies, wherever practicable such as were held by the Presbyteries of St. Lawrence and'Ogdensburg. as furnish ing the best means of ascertaining how far a spirit 1 of kindness and confidence hals been restored, and to what extent a desire for re-union prevails, |3. We recommend that church ses sions, Presbyteries and Synods, that are in-favor of re-union, take action on the subject, and express and publish their views.- . -i.. ri ... ;4. We recommend conventions of the friends of re-union, at important points, to; be composed of ministers, ruling elders- and others, to consult 1 -together and to declare their views. 5. We respectfully request the con-, ductors of the religious journals of the two churches to open their columns to the publication of communications and reports of church courts and-other meet ings, in favor of reunion. 6. W« would recommend to all con cerned to discourage the organization of weak churches of the two branches, where only one is needed and can be supported, and especially where mis sionary aid is required to sustain them, and we commend the union of such churches where they exist. it. We recommend, in the language of the General Assembly of 1863, at Peoria, “ That the ministers of the two branches of the pburch cultivate fraternal inter course, the free interchange of views, and in all suitable ways encourage and aid one another in the appropriate work of the .ministry; and that the members of the one or the other branch connect themselves with either, rather than give their influence and their aid with bodies Vhose principles arid form of- govern-- m ent are foreign to their own. > - j 8. We earnestly recommend to all to seek, by prayer to the Head of the church, that tho divine blessing may rest upon all efforts for tho accomplish ment of this desirable object.” WHAT DOES ECONOMY■ MEAN ? In our uae of the word it means merely sparing of saving; economy of money means a saving of money; econ omy of time; sparing of time,.and so on. Bat- economy no more means saving money than it means spending'money. It m eans the administration of a house; its siewardsbip; spending or saving, that is, whether money or time, or anything else, to the best possible advantage. ; ,In the simplest and clearest definition of it, economy means the wise management of labor; and it means this mainly in these’ senses, namely p first, applying jour labor rationally ; secondly, preser ving its produce ca>efuily ; las/ly, dis tributing its produce seas uably.—lJus/tm.
