Smith, is an analysis with proof-texts, of about one-half of Julius Mul ler's System of Theology. This analysis is based upon a small work published in Ger many by one of Muller’s auditors, with the consent of the Professor, as a help to those attending the lectures. Prof. Smith was assisted also by manuscript notes of the lectures in giving greater fulness and clear ness to the statements. The analysis is the more valuable from the persistent refusal of Prof. M. to publish his lectures, and we have in these pages probably the fullest ac count of his system anywhere in print. It is well worth the perusal of the student, and his careful attention should be given to the proof-texts, which, in the little German work, are the leading points, (its title is JBeioei&stetlen) ) the texts being there given, in full, in Hebrew, Greek, and Germanr Prof. Muller’s system has its decidedly ob jectionable points, as the doctrine of pre existence', and loose or inadequate views upon the doctrine of the decrees, upon in spiration, and in the doctrine of eschatolo gy. A leading merit is that Redemption is its starting point. This he declares to be “ the locus of the Christian religion.” He also keeps equally clear from the error of fechleiermacher, who makes religion a mere feeling, (that of “ absolute depend ence,”) and the opposite error of rational ists, who would reduce religion tq, knowl edge. Religion, he says, is fellowship with God, as personal, indicated by love, rever ence, prayer, &e. And again, Religion is qualitatively superior to. philosophy, since it is not merely a knowledge of God, but a life in God of which life knowledge is only one of the elements. We shall look with interest for the remaining half of the analysis. Prof. Shedd’s article on Homiletics is so good that we regret its brevity. His aim is, by enlarging upon the difficulty of pro ducing a truly good sermon at- the present day, to induce students and preachers to devote themselves to the needful work of preparation with appropriate energy. 'His concluding remarks, upon the importance of method in the sermon, with a view to make it oarry all the freightage of truth practica ble and in the most available form, espe cially in this age of rapid and direct move ment in matter and mind, is full of- wisdom, and gives the secret, in great part, of an effective, rightly popular, and permanent ministry, so far as it depends on the pulpit. If any impression were made by this article of Prof. Shedd, calculated to exalt learning too highly in the eyes of the min istry, the following article, or we might rather say appeal, from Drr - Waj-ianU, - would be quite sufficient,to dissipate it en tirely, and to recall the preacher to the sim ple and grand object of his profession and to the spiritual sources ot power needed in discharging its duties. Dr. Way land takes' the wonderful ministry of David Brainerd among the Indians, as his text, and from that urges the duty of preaching Christ oruoified upon the,ministry, of our day and country. He says:— “ When a minister has laid aside forever all desire of ecclesiastical distinction, local position, reputation .for. learning, or elo quence, increase of salary, or any of the temptations that now so thickly encompass a minister of Christ, and devotes himself at all hazards to the preaching of Christ cru cified in such a way that his whole audience can understand him, when he 'asks of God for himself nothing but holiness, and for his hearers nothing but the salvation of their souls, ■ • people begin, nobody can tell why, to come to the house of God, one and another is inquiring what he shall do to be saved, and silent awe pervades the assembly, so that a passing stranger, coming in by accident, feels that there is an atmos phere of religious thoughtfulness such as he never witnessed before,” &c. The indefatigable Dr. Gillett, of Harlem, whose pen is, we should judge, about as busy, and whose powers of observation, in * vestigation, and of lucid reporting, are about as great and incessantly occupied, as those of any man we know of, gives us a full and valuable summary of Augustine’s de Givitate Dei. a library of books in itself. Thirteen years was the great Atrican Fa ther engaged upon this treatise, which in cludes Mythology, History, sacred and pro fane Philosophy, and the various branches : of Theology. It is a monument of the learning of his time and remained an au thority until the Reformation. It is the case of the Church versus Old Rome. Pity that it cannot be had seperately, like the ■“ Confessions.” Other articles in this number are, a con cluding one on the government of the Pri mitive Church, on the early Life of Milton —tame, commonplace, and inadequate —on Household Baptism, with a re-examination cf Soripture passages 3 The College and the New Country, by President Tuttle, lively and readable, with some points well-put. While this number interests us more than the last, we cannot feel that it fairly exhibits the great abilities of its chief ed itor, or of the wide theological circle in which it moves. We ask for decided im , provement, or a return to an earlier stand ,.ard .of excellence, believing that unless there are pecuniary difficulties in the way, we shall see it ere long. The typographical errors are far too numerous and important Tor a work of this character. BIBLIfAI, REPERTORY AYR PRINCE- TON REVIEW. Abt. I. —Early History of Heathenism. From a patient and instructive inquiry into the early heathen writings and inscrip tions, Persian, Indian, and Egyptian, the author infers the continuance, for some time after Noah, among the primitive tribes of men, of the knowledge of the true God. “In the pre-Mosaio time, we may he free to believe that multitudes were saved for God out of every land and nation, in accordance with the Noachic covenant. And it is pleasant to believe that the early message • of salvation may have been carried in many a heart and on many a tongue, long and far, among emigrating tribes on their pro tracted migrations.” This, let us recollect, is from Princeton. The concluding sen tence is also worth transcribing: “ Hea thenism is man’s development of God’s revelation, and is related to the ancient dis pensations as Romanism to the Christian.” The next article on Arabia, brings, to gether, in a most interesting and instruc tive way, the results of recent explorations in that little known portion of the earth. Entirely different ideas of the interior of the country must now be entertained in consequence of these explorations. The Bedouin tribes extend but a little distance from the Northern frontier, and are sepa rated by a line Of deserts from a fixed and well-governed population. The Wahabees, the Puritans of Mohammedanism, occupy this central region. The Revised Webster is a scholarly and yet readable article, showing, in a luminous manner, the superiority of this to the earlier editions of the same, and some other dictionaries, (Bailey 1720, Johnston 1775.) The points of comparison chieflj noted are Etymology and Definition. The very great superiority of the revised, over the last preceding edition of Webster is clearly shown. President Lincoln, is an article contain ing many sound and patriotic views; but did Princeton ever, in all this rebellion, undertake the part of loyalty, without in some way revealing its utter want of heart ? In this article, Mr. Lincoln’s name and character are plainly made the supports on which to hang an elaborate argument against punishing treason as such. Be cause Washington and Hampden were rebels, therefore we must not punish the rebels of the South for treason! The writer is so stupid or so infatuated with his own sympathy for these criminals, as to de clare that the people generally do not wish them hung for treason, but only for starv ing prisoners and the like; and that they fail to make the proper discrimination in their own minds between these two classes of offences. The tendency of this whole argument is demoralizing and encouraging to unrepentant rebels. It is, of course, to ■te ' cAuciiwa. uliac- ore ax.iiu» irA-u... -oaj- School Assembly, excluding ministers and bodies, who had gone into rebellion, from the Church, until they give evidence of re pentence, should greatly displease the re viewer, as the next article, on the Assem bly at Pittsburg, shows it did. This is a remarkable critic, who pretends to hate the crime, while he would still fraternize with the criminal! We are inclined to believe that the Old School Church will adhere to its whole some policy towards inexorable rebels adopted at Pittsburg; and that Princeton will continue to find itself on the losing side, in this conflict with the loyal spirit in its own denomination, as well as in the com munity generally. Ere long we think it will be written of Princeton : The sceptre has departed, Ilium, fy.it. We are sorry to be obliged to write these words of serious dispraise of the managers of this sterling old periodical. The number before us otherwise is exceedingly able and valuable. Lilian. A Story of the Days of Martyrdom m England, three hundred years ago. New York; Carlton & Porter. Another juvenile—a handsomely gotten up 18mo, of 209 pages, from a house which has furnished much safe and interest read ing for the young. It is a touching, but not exaggerated, record of the patience of the saints in the days when theirs were lite rally fiery trials —a fiction only so far as it embodies in a personal narrative well au thenticated scenes of the persecution of Protestants under Queen Mary. Lilian is a girl, whose child faith withstood ■ alike the seductive and terrible arts of the Eng lish Antichrist, and who was finally brought to the stake, but saved at the last moment by the rushing in of a messenger with the announcement, “ Queen Mary is dead, and Queen Elizabeth reigns !” The story has Several pictorial illustrations. We are indebted to Messrs. Perkinpine & Higgins for the copy before us. PAMPHLETS AND PERIODICALS. Return of the Victors. A Discourse addressed to our Returned Soldiers, de livered in the Central Presbyterian Ch., Rochester, June 25th, 1865, by Rev. F. F. Ellinwood, pastor of the church. This truly eloquent discourse breathing the warmth of a hearty welcome and kindly solicitude for the true interest of the re turned soldiers in their new relations, has already been noticed in our columns. We observe in a note, that since the opening of the rebellion one hundred and thirty volunteers have gone from the Rochester Central Congregation and Sabbath-school. One Sabbath-school class furnished thirty six. Only sixteen are known to have fallen in battle or otherwise. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THUBSDAY, AUGUST IT, 1865 A second edition of Mr. Edward Mc- Pherson’s “ Political History of the United States of America during the Great Rebel lion” has just been published by Philip & Solomons, Washington. The author, Clerk of the House of Representatives in both sessions of the Thirty-eighth Congress, made good use of his position, personally and politically, to obtain, collate, and ccn dense an immense variety of facts; and he digested them so well that the work at once became a text-book. In the new edi tion, the author has revised the whole vol ume, corrected errors, added much new material, and given the documentary his tory of the South Carolina Convention, &c. An entirely new chapter on “ The Church and the Rebellion” is full of interest; and, indeed, Mr. McPherson has spared no pains to make the book of permanent value. It has the closing advantage of a very full index. . \ The practice of publishing .very limited! editions of works is on the increase. Pub lishers are thus enable to command what, in the ordinary issue of books, would be regarded as an exorbitant price, and are sure of a clean sale. Thuse we see an nounced by a New York house, an octavo edition of five hundred copies of the “ Bib liotheca Americana Vetustissima: A De scription of Works Relating to America and printed between the years 1492 and 1551.” The design of this publication is to give a list and critical account of all the works relating to America, which have been published in Italy, Germany,' Spain, Portugal, France, England, Holland, and Mexico, from the time of the discovery by Columbus to the year 1551. Upwards of two hundred titles (where Ternaux has fifty-eight and Rich only twenty) have been collected, and copied from the original works themselves, nearly all of which are’ in the possession of several well-known American collectors, who-, allowed the use of those extremely rare books in the pre paration of this volume. Messrs. Ticknor & Fields have brought out the new “ Farringford Edition” of Tennyson’s Poems. They are printed up on heavy tinted paper of the finest quality, and bound chastely yet elegantly in muslin of a neat and handsome pattern. It con tains a new portrait of the poet—by far the best-yet done—-and three steel plates. The edition is complete, containing all the poems included in previous volumes. We add, with sadness of feeling, that if the accounts of the physical infirmities of the gifted au thor are true, this edition is likely to re main what it is now—a complete edition of his poems.. Music is sometimes turned to odd uses; It is announced that at the inauguration of the statue of Dr. Jenner, which is to take place at Boulogne 3oon, a “Hymn to wjlMm cination is to be successfully illustrated by Choruses of children, young men, mothers, and patriarchs. Alexandre Dumas figures as the hero of another story. He advertised a lecture on the late poet Jasmin—the last of the Trou badours —-but found at the last moment that he knew, nothing about his subject. Braving all risks, he- wrote to his soil to ask for the ground-work for the lecture. Between father and son no love is lost, as is proved by the epigrammatic nickname of “Le pere prodigue,” which the great Alexandre received from his son. On this occasion Alexandre the Less was sulky, and sent back a message to the effect that:if the father must lecture, he had better do so about something he understood—himself, for instance. The father took the hint, and delighted the Bordellais with an amus ing sermon, the text of which was Jasmin the Poet, and the Alexandre the Roman cer. - Just now there seems to be in the old world an unusual amount of literary and political affiliation. The new British Par iainent will contain an unprecedently large number of men of more or less note in the literary world. Besides those who hold over, we have as new members John Stuart Mill, Thomas Hughes, and several others. Mill, in his speech from the hustings, sur prised all his friends by his power in whal we, in this country, should call stump ora tory. He was supposed to be so much th . slave of scholarship, that a dead failure i that department was reckoned upon. Bd he won laurels decidedly. In the Bonk parte family, the ambition for authorshi is not likely to be confined to the Imperii historian of Cassar. We have the announci ment that there is in press the first vo ume oi a history ol the Bonapartes from th pen of Prince Napoleon, the Emperor’ cousin Jerome. The London Athceneum has credited th rebel emissary to Paris, John Slidell, wit] the authorship of “ A Year in Spain,’ saying that he wrote it when a very younj man. The true author was Alexander Sli dell, afterwards, by adopting hi 3 mothers name, Alexander Slidell Mackensie. He died in 1848. Funeral Address.

We advise all young people to acquire j early life the habit of using good languag both in speaking and writing, and to avi as early as possible the use of slang wo and phrases. The longer they live more difficult of aequsition such langu. will be; and if the golden age of youtli the proper season of acquisition of langus —be passed in its abuse, the unfortum victim of neglected education will doomed to talk slang for life. Monej not necessary to procure this educati Every man has it in his power. He merely to use the language he reads inst of the slang he hears—to form his fo from the best speakers, writers and p< of the country —to treasure up ch( phrases in his memory, and habituate self to their use—avoiding at the same time that pedantic precision and bombast which bespeaks rather the weakness of a vain ambition than the polish of an educated mind. There is no man, however low in rank, who may not materially benefit his financial condition by following this advice, and cultivating, at the same time, such morals and manners as correspond in cha racter with good words. SHOWING HIM A MIRACLE. Ernest Renan having said, in his “ Life of Jesus,” that the proper way of proving the reality of a miracle is to show one, a pamphleteer “ shows” him one in a letter “ Upon the Establishment of the Christian Religion,” which we here translate;— Sir Permit me to-day to draw your at tention again to' the establishment of the Christian religion; a fact upon which we naturally differ in opinion. Like you, when I have striven to identify its cause with the mere forces of man, I have failed in my endeavor. The supernatural,- then, has been the only conducting thread which has helped me to escape from the labyrinth, where I see you continually seeking to rectify yourself, without ever doing it, and condemned to escape therefrom only when you shall have proved that there is nothing miraculous in the establishment of Chris’ tianity. Pardon this little digression; I straight to the work. There is a reli gion called the Christian, whose founder wks Jesus, named the Christ. This reli gi<S, which hasjasted eighteen centuries, and which calls itself the natural develop ment of that Judaism which ascends near to the cradle of the world, had the apostles ftr its first propagators. When these men yisheq to establish it. they had for adversa nes: 1 The national pride of the Jews; j The implacable hatred of the Sanhe im; i, # |The brutal despotism of the Homan em ■ors; 'he railleries and attacks of the philoso "i; ie . libertinism and caste-spirit of the priests; ' savage and cruel ignorance of the ) Sfaggot and bloody games of the cir- The Eveit Ever] Ever; Ever; Ever' had .an enemy, in r miser; ; i debauched man; 'J drunkard; ■ythief; urderer; iroud man; tandercr j ar; Every' Every Every Not onJ our poor ] itself' thei) T< |of the vices, in feet, which abuse pnanity which did not constitute adversary. many enemies, and sur obstacles, they had only icej - m their cotemporary at the air., work, and the conquest of the world; pagan temples shall crum lols shall fall upon their iophers shall be convicted le throne of Caesar we shall eagle, and in its place we cross; we shall be the 'orld-j the ignorant and the lare themselves our disci ; him speak thus, you would * silent, imbecile !” And mt from nature and princi \ave defended him before , and have counseled it shut up the fisherman of Bethsaida and s companions in the madhouse.

Reading in the cars often sriously disturbs the vision. A delicate nd wonderful apparatus within the eye is : Constantly busy in adapting it to the varying ; Focal distances. The j erking motion of the jars compels an exhaustive effort to main ;ain the required adaptation. Thousands of eyes are spoiled by reading in cars and other vehicles. Recently I was consulted 'by a railway expressman who had become totally blind by reading the newspaper in the cars. Thousands who have never con sciously suffered any inconvenience from the habit, are obliged to wear glasses pre maturely, to correct an unsteadiness of visi- u produced in this way. Reading with the gas-light before you is another cause of weak eyes. The light should al ways hang quite high and behind you, and allowed to shine over your shoulder. If convenient, it should be over the left shoulder. If using kerosene, it is best to employ the lamps which hang on the wall. HeitKer should you read'with face toward the,Window. heading by twilight is dangerous. Gjtdually accommodating itself to the re- Acfng light, the eye is unconsciously | gained. I have seen more than one case \ ,/grave disease of the eye, produced by an Idue effort to use the vision too long at plight. f 'White paint is another mischief to the yes. White paint outside, white paint inside, white paint everywhere. During /the season of brightest sunshine the glare hurts the eye. I wonder if it is not in bad taste likewise ? ~ I notice that artists have qbne of it about them. / In our constant reading, the eye-sight is much tired by the white paper. I hope 'that the tinted paper, with a still deeper 'color, may become fashionable. Avoid reading by artificial light when you can. We read too much. We read as we eat —pell-mell, hotchity potch; no mas tication, no digestion. If, as a people, we read less, we might know more. Few in dications are more unpromising in a child than a remarkable passion lor books. I doubt if a good lady, who called on me the other day, with her son, will ever forgive me for what I said to her. Her boy was of the regular Boston type, great head and eyes, with small and narrow chest. She said, in a mournful voice, but with evident pride :—“ Ah, doctor, he has such a pas sion for books. As soon as he is out of bed he is down at some great book, and scarcely leaves it but for his meals. He never plays like other children.” I told her, among other things, that unless she could break up that habit her son would very likely turn out a dolt. She left very soon, with the belief that I did not under stand her son’s case. I should have about as much hope of a man who gave himself up to childish sports as I should of a child who gave himself up to the habits and life of a man. The newspapers have much to answer for in the way of small type and imperfect printing. I would cheerfully give two hundred dollars a year to support a news paper which would give us, morning and evening, half a column of the really reliable news, instead of fifteen colums of diluted speculations and tricky canards, the reading of which hurts our eyes and wastes our precious time.— Dr. Dio Lewis.
