Cattit.
BOOTH. Wayside Blossoms. By Mary H.
C. Booth. Philadelphia : J. B. Lippin
cott & Co. 18mo;, pp. 160.
A. volume small but precious ; a tiny
cassket filled 'with exquisite gems of true
poetry. They are brief and unpretending,
but full of tender feeling and grace of ex
pression. A sweet breath of piety per
vades them, appearing most distinctly, in
The Pilgrim's Pillow." The brave vol
unteer's finer feelings and home longings,
with the yearnings of those left behind, are
admirably sung. "Willie Brown" is a sad
story of child suffering in Ireland. " A
Kingly Heritage" is a remarkable boast of
the possession of a single drop of Indian
blood. " A Mountain Monument" grandly
celebrates the likeness of Garibaldi, which
has been discovered in a rocky mountain
profile, high up among the Allis.,
The volume is elegantly printed and
bound.
DIA.Dum. A Collection of Tunes and
Hymns for Sunday-Schools and Devotional
Meetings. By Silas J. Vail. New York :
Horace Waters.
A real addition to our already large stock
of juvenile music. We agree with the
publisher, that abundance and variety in
the supply of suitable music for the great
Sabbath-school army are needed . We wel
come "The Diadem" as calculated to aid
in supplying the want as well as to culti
vate the taste of: the children. A number
of pieces specially adapted to the Bible
classes and older scholars are given. Price
30 and 35 cents.
MAKohat ; or Promise of the Life that now
Is. By the author of " The Formation of
Christian Belief," &c. Phila. : Geo. W.
Childs. 12m0., pp. 105.
A treatise on certain phases of Christian
experience and character not very often
referred to, and opening a wide field for ob
servation. The author shows a familiar
aquaintance with the wants and deficiencies
of average Christians and earnestly labors
to raise the standard of piety. Interesting
views of truth are presented, though the
topic indicated in the title does, not codupy
the place in the discussion .which we ex
pected. The externals of the volume are
very elegant.

the evidence that a new. department 'of
literature is in process of creation. Clark,
Marsh, Dwight, Craik, And Mullerall of
them are dealing with a subject which - has
just been cast into the crucible of investi

others of our countrymen may become the

embarked in this pleasing and important
study."
THE POEM RECITED BY MR. LINCOLN.
—The poem which was such a favorite
with the late President, beginning with
the line—
" Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?"
was written by William Knox, a poet
of considerable talent, who died in Edin
burgh in 1825, at the age of thirty-six.
His earlier years were 'tainted with dissipa
tion, but at intervals th\ religious impres
sions he received from his parents in child
hood would be evidenced by the verses he
would write on sacred subjects. In the
copy of this poem now going the rounds
of the press, two stanzas are omitted—the
fourth and the seventh. They are as fol
lows:
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in
whose eye
Shone beauty and, pleasure—her triumphs are
b ;
And the Y
memory of those who loved her and
praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of
heaven,
The sinner who dared'to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their.bones in the dust.
The entire poem may be found in
"Scotia's Bards,' a handsomely illustrated
volume of selections from the Scottish
poets, published in 1853, by Robert Carter
& Brothers, of New York.

FRANCE.
SUCCESS OF THE LIFE OF CAESAR.
The Paris correspondent of Childs' Pub-
Ushers' Circular writes; March 31st:—" The
literary world here still rings with Cmsar's
name. The success of the French Emper
or's Life is extraordinary; 14,000 copies
were sold on the day of publication. Large
as were the earlier editions printed, they
almost instantly proved inadequate to the
demand. The demand was so muchgreater
than the supply that the copies at ten del
lars speedily rose to fourteen dollars. Cm
sar is served up with every sauce just now.
M. Millaud is to open a new street on some
land he possesses' ' which is to be christened
by Pompey's rival's name ; his statue is to
be placed in the Tuileries garden; a ship
of-war is to be named after him; in fine,
Cmsar is as much in fashion as false hair
and crinoline." He denies the very Cur
-1 rent rumor that the Empress is writing a
life of Marie Antoinette. Among recent
publications in Paris, he names " The Un
published Correspondence of Marie Antoi
nette, and - her mother, the great Maria
Theresa, by Herr de Arteth. This work,
which contains ninety-four unpublished

letters of the . Queen and seventy of the
Empress, has made a deep impression here;
it shows the latter foresaw from the first
the egregious folly of her guiddy daughter ;
throws great light upon Louis YYIII. and
Charles X. , and upon the reign of Louis
XVI."
A WRITERS' MUTUAL ASSISTANCE
Socuric is about to be undertaken in Paris,
suggested by the recent death of a literary
man there, in circumstances of distressing
proverty. The correspondent says :—" The
first efforts will be made to secure a large
capital to commence with. This capital
will be raised by means of a national sub
scription, by donations from wealthy pub
lishers and, proprietors of periodicals, and
by benefit performances at all our theatres.
Then all writers will pay a given small
amount of money monthly;and they will
be saved from the perils and anguish of
poverty. The position Of literary men here
is lamentable. Publishers treat them most
unfairly, nay, dishonestly, and wrest from
them the fruit of their labor. English and
Anierican authors live in Eden compared
to the places in which their brethren's lines
are cast here; for our publishers are gen
tlemen."
M. DE LAMARTINE is again before • the
public as a borrower or beggar. What a
pity to outlive one's fair name so long!
I never think of him," say's the writer
already 'quoted, "withodt considering, death
as man's best. friend : for, had the dusky
angel borne him away to the ebony cham
bers amid the turmoil , 'of 1848, what a
grand position would. De Lamartine have
for all time occupied in French history !
The literary hack, and the lamenter, and
the beggar would not have darkened the
splendid scene." The new loan "is to be for
$40,000 in the shape of $4O bon& 'carry
ing, five per cent. interest, payable in the
sum of $5O, and extinguished annually by
drawing and paying 'a giVen' number. His
estates will be mortgaged to secure the
bondholders.
Literary men are encountering more
frequently than usual the interference of
the French courts. -Proceedings against two
writers for'attaoking ihiEmperor under the
guise, as was alleged, of historical essays,
are mentioned." The' l Revue' Francaise has
been suppreSsed, and 'editor and printer
each fined for an article of a " political
character," not allowable in a literary re
view. The hawking of a work on the Con
vents of Naples has also been forbidden in
France.

THE DYING CHRISTIAN AND THE DYING'
INFIDEL,
In 1834 the cholera-broke out in Lane
Seminary. Mr. Theodore D. Weld, who was
then a. student 'there, gives the following
account of some of the cases :
The next case occurred the next morn
ing—brother Burr, of Virginia, one of
the first students for mind, scholarship, and
piety. I had the great privilege of being
with him from the first moment of his at
tack until his death, which occurred in just
twenty hours. His last words were ad
dressinc, me as I was bending, over him,
"Brother, I feel as if I was beginning to.
die. Don't you think lam ?"
"Yes, my dear brother. Your Father
calls you.
" Yes, he calls me—yes, I am beginning
to die. 0, blessed be God through-Jesus
Christ I am beginning to live !"
From the first he expected to die, and,
while we were plying him with various ex
ternal applications to aid the operation of
medicine, he was continually exhorting us
to prayer, great personal holiness, and cease-.
less efforts to save sinners.. The cross, the
cross was his theme, even when racked with
bodily agony.
In the brief intervals between the dread
ful spasms Which for the last four hours
contorted his frame; he would speak to us
in language Of the utmost tenderness,;" My
dear brethren, pray that this may, be sanc
tified to the seminary I My dear brethren,
you must be exhausted." I could fill this
sheet with the heavenly breathings of this
dying saint, but must pause. When I Closed
his eyes I could' not refrain from crYing
aloud, "Blessed,'blessed? 0 blessed are
the dead that die in the Lord
gFive or six of the students were taken
with the disease-on the morning of the day
brother Burr died, one of whom died the
same afternoon, exclaiming,'with a look of
transport. ",The face of-the Loid -1 the face
of. the Lord !"
There was another death among us two
days after the last mentioned, which made
upon us all an impression which can never
be effaced. The' individual was George
—, the youngest brother of my dear
friend —. He came on with his brother
and myself; when we came down the river
in the spring. George was one. of the
youngest members of the seminary, about
eighteen years of age. A young man of
most extraordinary powers. I have never
seen his superior. lle had been religiously
educated, had passed three our four power
ful revivals ' had been convicted deeply
and often, asked prayers, attended Meetings
of inquiry, etc., but still resisted . the Spirit,
caviled, criticized, and started skeptical
queries, until the last revival passed away
with such a flood of light on his under
standing that he could paralyze his con
science only by a desperate rush into infi
delity.-
He devoured infidel books, and thought,
wrote, and discussed, and - hardened his
heart with fearful rapidity, and to an ap
palling extent. His principles were known
to. but few of us. I had frequently talked
with him, and in our last conversation, only
a day before he was taken, he acknowledged
itiontiauttatz
himself in a difficulty from what he could
not then extricate himself, but said, "I'll
think of it, and rely on it, I'll give you a
satisfactory answer, and sustain all my po
sitions in a day or two."
The next day he tested the strength of
his principles in' conflict with Death. He
was taken in the afternoon and died the
same night, or rather at three o'clock in
the morning.' I was with him all the time,
and such a. scene ! After all had been
done that could be done by the medical
faculty, and we,saw him beyond recovery,
we looked at each other's faces in speech
less agony., „He was an infidel! But we
knew God could save to the uttermost. We
consulted with the phy - sician. He said he
had never in all his life seen a case of dis
ease so desperate; it wash impossible, 7 . 7Tt -
pos ' sible •to save him; he probably would
live two hours. After mutual consultation,
it was agreed - I should tell him that it was
certain he must die soon, and urge ou his
soul the great salvation provided for the
chief of sinners.
From the commencement he had pos
..
sessed'perfeetly all the powers of his rare
mind: I told him We had done all we could
for him; he 'mita die! and pressed on his
soul repentance and faith in Christ.
" My mind is made up on that subject,"
said he; let me alone. Infidelity is right
after all; let me alone, I say, I am deter
mined to try my experiment." He was in
a rage—thrust me from him with violence.
"Let me die . * Peace," said he.
I endeavored with the utmost gentleness
and tetidern - e ,to press the subject at in
tervals for an Van and a half, but the more
'affectionate - the approach, the fiercer did he
repel it; till at last' he screamed to drown
my voice. *
His brother threw, himself in tears upon
his iieck, and with a bursting heart, cried,
" 0 George I, dear George, won't you listen
to your brother?"
"No, no," said he, " let me alone."
"What shall I your poor mother,
George?"
"Let me alone," he repeated.
I stepped= one to call a brother in the
fourth story.' While. going, I heard George
calling my . name: with frightful energy. I
hastened., doWn..- When he saw me ap
proaching his ,bed, he reached out both.
hands, grasped me convulsively, and cried'
out,, " Dear,.dear Mr. Weld, i low, 171 ,hear
IC a now 111 bear you I. : V t tell me, is
there an eternal' hell? Convince me by
sure'aigurtientsl , o, to be 'damned! to be
damned ! '0; for a light ! for a light !
Bring me a light; the light of my salvation !
No, never, never, never 1 This word he
repeated as many as twelve or fifteen times,
all the while tossing his body from side-to
side with an energy which nothing could,
inspire but thedeath-struggle. He stopped,
and with a phrenzied look of horror, died
7 ... Autobiography of Dr. Beecher, (vol. 2.)
THE ANCIENT STATUE OF HERCULES,
Gibson, the tnglish sculptor in Rome,
says of the newly discovered ancient bronze
statue of Hercules:-It is the most beauti
ful work of art in Rome ; it made me mel
ancholy the Whole day after I had seen it,
to think that aftg . the labor of a lite I had
madsegola sfig Hk,:pprclaches . to r the perfec
tion of the inastri - -iwg w hich._ 4e
e,uted the work." A RiiiniOetter says
further of it:—"Like a colossal golden
image it appears; for now - that - the inerns
. ,
tations of time have been removed, the gilt
surface, which is perfect, flashes the eye,
and indicates, by the expense that was lav
ished upon it; in how high appreciation this
statue was held even in that age of giants.
Grand in its proportions, it is exquisitely
delicate in its details; the nails of the foot,
the hair, the slight beard or whiskers on
the face, are as fine as fancy work, while
the muscles stand out with all the assertion
of manly strength." The discoverer of the
statue presented it to the Pope, who -re
warded him with presents to the value of
over $50,000.
GIVE TO YOUR NEIGHBOR-GIVE
It was a beautiful illustration of the
manner in which charity enricheth him
who, exerciseth it, and of the process by
which the Christian's own soul is illumined
when he lets his light shine for the benefit
of others, that was recently given in lan
guage similar to the following :---
"Suppose a vast plain, surrounded on all
Sides by hills, gently 'rising at first, then
steeper and more rugged, until all termi
nate in high mountain peaks, each over
looking the entire plain and the opposite
hill-sides ; and suppose this immense am
phitheatre to be densely filled with human
beings, from the centre of the plain, to the
summit of the highest mountain ridges,
each holding in his hand an unlighted
taper, and all enveloped in thick, black,
midnight darkness, without one single ray
of blessed light-to cheer them amid the
desolate gloom. And now, suppose that
one single individual, in the very centre of
that enormous throng, obtains a spark of
light, and his candle burns—its feeble
rays but dinily, lighting himself, and sere;
ing to make the darkness appear more
dense and the b cdoom more deep. Will he
fear to lose his faint Holt ? Will he try to
a
keep it to himielf? Will he put it under
a bushel, and attempt to hide it ? or will
he generously impart to his neighbors, and
let his-own light .shine ? What would he
gain by keeping ? What 'would he lose
by giving? 10h ! look I He- does light
his neighbor's candle; and, bidding him
follow the example, the two quickly light
two more; • and these four, tour others
and the eight, eight again; and this six
teen, another sixteen; and thus the light
.spreads rapidly, from that little central
point, every one, as he lights a new taper,
bidding the possessor giVe 'to his neighbor.
How gloriously' that great swelling cry
rolli on Give to your neighbor—give
light.' And how beautiful, how lovely
that mild, gentle light, constantly increas
ing as it, is given; ever 'spreading, dissipat
ing the darkness, and filling all hearts with
joy and gladness See, how like a wave of
the ocean, rolling outward and onward, it
covers the whole plain ; it reaches the foot
hills; it climbs the mountain sides; it
ascends their highest summits—until all
that vast plain, all those surrounding hill
sides; all those mountain tops are lighted up
with bright, joyous rays of clear, precious
light, which even the clouds above catch
and pass them back to earth again !
"Thus from plain, and hill, and moun
tain top, from earth and sky, from every
point as far as the eye can reach, there
comes back to the first giver a perfect - flood
of light, more glorious, and in rays more
blessed than he ever dreamed of. Now,
what has he not gained by giving ? What
would he not have lost by withholding his
light ?
"'There is that scattereth, and yet in
creaseth; and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, but it tendeth to
poverty.' "—Pacific.

SYMPTOMS OF INCIPIENT INSANITY.
An alienist physician of judgment and
experience -would be able to point
the circle of society with which he is ac
quainted, nearly all the men who -are very
likely to become insane ; but were he int-e
prudent enough to make known this invidi
ous prescience, it would be found that his
judgment differed widelyfrora 'the, opinions
on this subject which are current-in the
world. It would be found, for, instance,
that his prophecy would not' rest upon
those men who are called eccentric. Eccen
tricity more frequently depends on a dis
regard of public opinion in trifling and
nonessential matters than upon any twist
or perversion in the mind of the individual.
The eccentric man is often a large-hearted
and a courageous man, and, as such, one of
the last to become insane. The oomi.nous
forethought of the physician would rather
rest upon the man over susceptible con
cerning the good opinion which others
may entertain of him ; the suspicious and
timorous man, who hears scandal before it
is spoken, and apprehends the commence
ment of every possible mischief; the:man
„who has not at bottom of his heart a sincere
liking 'for his fellowcreatures but Who is
queruloua 'and contentious, and who Per
petually finds himself in disaccord with the
world. This is the type of men whom pre
disposing and exciting causes are most
likely to plunge into insanity.---Psychologi..

lIITDIICEMENTS.
The rates of premium are less than those of any
other Company covering the same risk.
No medical examination is required, and thousands
of those who have been rejected by Life Companies,
in consequence of hereditary or other diseases, can
effect insurance in the TRAVELLERS' at the lowest
rates:. :
Life Insurance Companies pay no part of the prin
°Wel sum until the death of the assured. The TRA
VRLLERS' pay the loss or damage sustained by per
sonal injury whenever it occurs.
The feeling of security which such an insurance
gives to those dependent upon their own labor Tor
support is worth more than money. No better or
more satisfactory use can be madaof so small a sum.
