Itritrie'o Gable. LIGHTER LITERATURE. BREWSTER. St. Martin's Summer. By An nie H. M. Brewster. Boston : Ticknor & Fields. 16m0., pp. 442. Music, Poetry, Painting, Natural Scenery and Passages of Old World History and Personal Narrative, are the topics of this volume, handled in connection with inci dents of a foreign residence, and treated in a somewhat rapt, ;esthetic tone. Most persons overhearing such conversations as are here recorded between two or three women, would find it difficult to believe them • quite improvised ; the language is generally too elegant, the ideas too refined and remote from the ordinary course of 'thought, and the criticisms too elaborate. Yet there is a delicate beauty in the treat ment of the topics, which betrays an artistic nature, and which is sometimes extremely fascinating, but which sometimes verges toward aesthetic trifling. One wonders if Stich a dreamy life, without real care or living interest in the stirring world, in some elegant Italian villa, is the ideal cherisheny the cultivated women of New England. As for religion, no doubt these over-refined natures regarded themselves as having outgrown the stage of development to which that is necessary. It scarcely ap pears in any shape in these pages. ASPHODEL. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. 16m0., pp. 224. Another book which suggests gravest doubts as to the healthfulness of the cul ture in vogue in the more refined circles of New England society. There is, indeed, not the slightest trace of impurity in the story, and the recognition of the value of religion is cordial, though brief. But there is so much dreaming in the regions of mere taste; such a half-listless surrender to mere' currents of feeling, as if they were fate. itself; such a terrible tragedy allowed to develope from which a grain of common, sense, a spark of decision of character, would have saved all parties; and then, nobody is much blamed for the heart break- , ings and the deaths—we struggle to , escape from an atmosphere with such an appear ance of purity yet so bewildering. Is such, we ask again, the idetil of a noble and blameless marfliood in" New England ? It is far,from a sound and wholesome one. HONOR MAY. Boston : Ticknor & Fields. 16m0., pp. 404. A love story runs through this book of musical criticism, much as a tiny brook through a meadow.. The principal charac ter is represented as endeavoring to be cold to all ordinary interests and insensible to human passion, from devotion to her art; but nature asserts herself, and so the tale gets its crisis and its tragic interest. For the rest it is quiet, domestic, at times com monplace, but pure and truthful in tone. KINGSLEY. Leighton Court, a Country House Story. By Henry Kingsley, au thor of "Ravenshoe." Boston : Ticknor & Fields, 16m0., pp. 190. A vigorous, healthful story of real men and women, in circumstances transcending in no way the possibilities of active life, yet so managed as to rouse and sustain the deepest interest of the reader, and to con vey some weighty reproofs of the merce nary motives too often allowed by parents to dictate in forming family connections for their daughters. The story is quite modern, the scene is laid in Devonshire, England, the leading characters and inci dents are drawn with great power, and the whole is comprehended in very brief com pass Although the old ladies brought up under the influence of Hannah More's writings are presented, at times, in no ami able light, yet a purpose to make religion contemptible cannot in fairness be ascribed to the writer. It is, however, worthy of criticism, that no illustration of the living, sustaining power of true religion once ap pears in the pages of Leighton Court, unless it be in the poetical quotation at the close. DouGLAss. In Trust; or, Dr. Bertrand's Household. By Amanda M. 'Douglass. Boston : Lee & Shepard. 12m0., pp. 383. This, we believe, is the first essay in lit erature of the authoress, and it is one cred itable to her gifts of head and heart. The intention is good, and the execution ar tistic and skilful. A family soddenly be reft of its head—a widowed father—is left to the control of a step-brother, who dis charges his trust in the noblest and most self-denying way. He is a true hero; a father to his wayward brother and his bright and lovely sisters. True piety is unreservedly recognized as the secret of Richard's marvellous equanimity and great ness of soul, yet it is by no means made prominent enough to frighten away mere novel readers. There are plenty of love scenes, half a dozen distinct courtships and proposals; in fact, the whole atmosphere of the book is pervaded with this sort of thing; yet the psychology of each case is different and is skilfully discriminated. Plentiful use is made of accidents in the story. Two fatal ones and two quite seri ous in their consequences are introduced, showing a deficiency of invention. How ever, there are elements of originality in the story What is most remarkable is, the presence through almost the entire volume of a character whom polite society would have oast out with disdain, but who moves in an atmosphere of perfect purity ; who is the sage Minerva of the story, and whose se cret, marvellously and honorably kept, does not prevent her attaining or seeming wor- thy to attain the crowning place in the story. Perhaps the writer's purpose is to protest against the excessive and unreflect ing proscription practised by society in such cases. The careful reader will be sensible of a defect in Richard's view of Robert's duty toward the person whom he has wronged, just before leaving for Cali fornia. One cannot read the book without feeling his selfishness rebuked and his nobler nature stirred. CrimmaT. De Profundis. A Tale of the Social Deposits. By William Gilbert, au thor of " Shirley Hall Asylum." London and New York : A. Strahan. Small Bvo., PP• 444. A tale of _London low life; with none of its absolutely coarsest features, and with many traits to relieve the sombre hues of want, intemperance, dishonesty, and crime, which it graphically portrays. The story is rendered deeply interesting without ex travagance or unnaturalness. It is a re markable combination of simplicity and power. Rascality is not made romantically attractive, and a true and profound impres sion is conveyed as to the condition of the London poor, and the necessity of laboring for their amelioration. Especially is the danger to the innocent and virtuous poor of contamination, and of being involved, through no fault of their own, in the crimes and punishment of their vicious neighbors, well represented. Evangelical religion finds no open, posi tive recognition in these pages; the dying old woman's complacent self-examination proceeds entirely on legal grounds, on which, doubtless, the writer wishes us to understand he justifies her. Otherwise the spirit of the narrative is pure and healthful, and the book.may be safely com mended to all classes of readers. BOORS BECEIITED. ScHAIT.

My Asparagus Bed.—One year ago this spring I planted an asparagus bd. I ought to have done so years ago; and since the duty is performed, I have greatly re gretted that I neglected it so long. How seasonable a luxury has been lacking from my table by putting off from year to year a little timely labor. And is not thimemark true in an extended sense of most" of us farmers ? How much of the toothsome pro ducts of the garden we might enjoy, or fruit we might gloat over, of flowers we might smell, of delicious shade might spread its coolness on our beavers, if we would only expend this bit of timely labor. But I planted my asparagus bed, at least, so as to save time; and I did it. I have gained a year. Generally they do not yield for the table until the third season, but on the 22d of April of the second year in the calendar of the asparagus bed, I made the first cutting; and in a week's time the shoots were up again, of a dark; green color, and as thick as my finger. 1 planted in this way : In the sunny, corner of the garden I had made a hot-bed the previous year. The manure, well rotted, remained in it. This I trenched deeply, and mixed `the manure well in the soil. On the top I took care to have three or four inches of nice loam, not over rich. In this I planted strong, two-year old asparagus roots, and hoed them faithfully all summer. This is all. The result is, this year I shall have asparagus enough for my own table; next year I expect to have some for my neighbors. THE SWEET POTATO. The culture of this esculent root may be attempted with reasonable hope of success, far north of the line marking the boundary of the market production, to an extent suf ficient for family use. The plants must be grown in a hot-bed, but the better way for one wishing to grow only a small quantity, is to purchase the plants of those who raise them in large quantities. If, however, one determines to raise them, they should be planted in the hot-bed by the middle of April or first of May. Cover with two or three inches of vegetable mould, so that the soil will not bake when freely watered. The bed may be sheltered with cotton cloth for a screen, (which answers as well as glass, and better, in some respects, for any hot-bed late in the season) which should be removed in the middle of warm, sunny days. When the plants appear, harden them by exposing to the sun and air, but protect fr om th e cold. Several crops of plants may be pro duced from one planting of seed. The potatoes should be planted by the first of June. The soil should be warm, dry, and sandy. It should also be rich. Subsoiling is said to be very beneficial. Throw the land into high ridges, by turn ing furrows together with a horse plow, making the ridges three and a half, feet apart from centre to centre. One plant should, be' set in a place, from fifteen to eigteen inches apart in the ridge. Wet THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1866. the roots and press the earth firmly around them. The stems of the lower leaves should be covered, so that they may sprout, if cut by worms or frost. It is said that the sweet potato will bear transplanting with less moisture in the ground than most other plants require. Tilling may be done with the hoe and cultivator, being careful always not to injure the roots. Do not cut the vines, or- injure or cover them with the cultivator, but lift them carefully and place them on the ridges out of harm's way. Harvest when the frost kills the leaves, by throwing out the potatoes with a fork. We will close this article by saying that the sweet potato is a native of the East Indies, and belongs to the convo/vulacce or bind-weed family—Ru ral New Yorker. WHAT TO DO WITH SOAP SUDS. Although generally deemed only fit to run off into the common sewer in she easiest and most expeditious manner possible, they are neverthelen highly beneficial vegetable feeders, as well v., useful preventatives. Hence they ...lionld never be wasted, espe cially by parties having gardens, as their application t,) the ground, whether in win ter or summer. will show beneficially not only on ordinary vegetable crops, but also on berry bushes, border flowers, and even window pot plants; while, if poured or sprinkled over roses, cabbages, ete., they will prevent, or at least mitigate, the mis chievous pranks of the green fly and cater pillar AGASSIZ AND DARWIN'S THEORY. We have lately noticed two important works of Agassiz his " Geological Sket ches," a series of popular articles originally published in the Atlantic Monthly; and his " Structure of Animal Life," six lec tures delivered in Brooklyn. The ;".Gra ham Lectures," Brooklyn,. were founded by a funiLleft by Mr. Graham, and, accord ing totlif• conditions of his •benefaction, their design is the illustration of the "power, wisdom, and goodness of God." Agassiz bears in mind this design throughout his " lectures ;" though his allusions to it are but incidental, they are nevertheless em phatic. He never sermonizes, but his scientific demonstration of the intelligent design of organized nature is the mitt de cisive we have had the happiness to meet in any production of the chiefs of modern natural science ; for it is an indisputable fact that the living highest authorities in these sciences are characterized generally by a proclivity to theological doubt, if not downright materialism. Agassiz thinks for himself, and utters his thoughts with the sobriety of a genuine philosopher. Agassiz is known as an opponent of Dar win's development theory. His argurnents against that theory are given more fully in these publicationi than in anything else from his pen that has fallen into our hands. He meets it at several points, and always with a calm and, we think, decisive logic. He deserves special credit for his courage and skill in this respect. The scientific world seems inclined toward Darwinianism; if it hesitates at all it is evidently only for what it presupposes will be demonstrative proof. Lyell, Huxley, and other English scientific chieftains obviously than face the question; and the continental naturalists quite generally follow them. Agassiz does not address himself to this theory from any theological or Biblical standpoint; he seems not to think or that ; and so much the better, perhaps, for the effect of his argument with scientific read ers. He insists on vigorous induction in all matters of natural science; and he in sists, with an emphasis quite unwonted in his usual style, that not a single argument can be found in geology or rather paleonto logy, for the development theory. But important as this negative fact un questionably is, it is nothing compared with the positive geological arguments adduced in these books, especially in the Graham lectures. He shows that it is not only not proved, but absolutely disproved by geolo gy, that the various forms of animal struc ture have been developed from an elemen tary or original form or germ. The capital defect of Darwin's theory, acknowledged by himself and all his chief adherents, is the fact that throughout the whole series of organic remains, disclosed by geology, we nowhere detect-that transition from one species into another which is implied in the hypothesis. This is a most vexatious fact to the theorists, and their only reply, one without which their hypothesis must be absolutely abandoned, is the allegation that the geological periods were so inconceiva bly long, and our knowledge of their con nections is so deficient, that we may sup pose the points of transition from species to species to be real thongh yet undetected; that, in other words, we may reasonably accept the theory, and await the progress of geological discovery for the answer to this objection. Agassiz meets this argument in two de cisive ways. First, the four great classes, to which all scientific authorities now refer the whole variety of animal structures, were geologi cally coetaneous in their origin. These classes are the radiates, the mollusks,.the articulates, and the vertebrates. Now it must be borne in mind that this classifica tion is no adventitious fact; it is not foun ed merely in the convenience of scientific tudy, but in nature itself; it is not an in vention of scientific men, but a discovery, the inherent plan or system of nature. And another fact, all important in the contro versy, must be borne in mind, namely, that each of these classes is respectively an ad vance on the other in the complication and perfection of its typical structure. Look ing superficially at this last fact, the Dar winian hastily supposes that the advancing series is a developed improvement of the inferior into the higher forms. His theory ought to be demonstrated in these cardinal classes, if anywhere. But precisely here does geology sweep away his •foundations, for in the lowest rock tablets upon which nature has inscribed the record of the most at mli inscribed the most superior. We do not find one P n g i t n h f e e m ri , er c l as s, has she, side by aide with into the other; w e find gtindifit. the vertebrate fish as early as the" radiate polyp. Secondly, Agassiz shows the fallacy of the argument founded upon the alleged " imperfection of the geological record." All the readers of Darwin will recall the tenacity with which he demands this con cession. But Agassiz affirms that we have absolutely and clearly the continuous Rock Record from the first deposition of animal remains to the last; and that we not only find in the first, as above shown, all the four great types, coetaneous and independ ent, but that all the minuter forms of ani mal structure, through all the successive strata of the earth's crust, show analogous distinctness. We see one class passing away, another coming in ; but we nowhere, not in a single instance through the whole immeasurable . extent the geological pe riods, find one merging into another. The transmutation of species is a thing, utterly. unknown in the geological record, and that record is now in continuous perfection be fore the eyes of scientific readers. It', then, science, especially material science, depends upon induction alone for its demonstrations, the Darwinian theory has absolutely no proof, so far as the incal culably lon C record of geology is concerned. It is thrown back upon the flimsy induction of facts connected with the partial changes of animal life by domestication or breeding; changes which nature resists and is sure to k counteract, it the changed animal is thrown I back to her exclusive care. But we must refer the reader to tee two most entertaining books. We have given but glimpses of them.--Christian Advocate. REMARKABLE ASTRONOMICAL PHE NOMENA. Mr. J. R. Hind, in a letter dated." Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's Park, Feb ruary 3," 'narrates in the London Times some curious changes which have been observed of late among the stars and nebula). :He Bayle s : " Toward the 'close of , the past, year it was annOuriced by Professor d'Arrest, of Copen hagen, that a nebulae in the constellation Taurus, which. was discovered at this ob vervatory on the 11th of October, 1852, had totally vanished from its place in the heavens. That one of these objects, which the giantielescopes of the preient day have taught us to regard as assemblages of stars in myriads, at immense distances from the earth, should suddenly fade away, so as to be quite imperceptible in powerful instru ments, must, I think, have been deemed a very improbable occurrence. Within the 18,st few days, however, M. Leverrier has obtained so strong a confirmation of its ac curacy, that there is no longer room for supposing it to have originated in one of those errors of observation which every practical astronomer knows will creep into his work in spite of all his precautions." Mr. Hind goes on to note that a star of the tenth magnitude, which almost touched the edge of the nebula, has diminished to the twelfth magnitude. From the fact that M. Chacornac saw the nebula in 1854, and did not remark it in 1858, there is reason to infer that the disappearance took place in 1556 or 1857. In a postscript, Mr. Hind says that, after writing the above s'atements, be received a letter from Professor Secehi, the able and energetic director of the Observatory of the Collegio Romano, at Rome, by which it appears that in one of the proverbially clear skies of that city, and with the large tele scope at his command, he was unable on the 27th ult., to discern the least vestige of the nebula." AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS IIyARE the most perfect purgative m which e are able to produce or which we think has ever yet been made by any body. Their effects have abundantly shown to the com munity how mob they excell the or dinary medicines in use. They are safe and pleasant to take, but power ful to cure. Their penetrating pro perties stimulate the vi , al activities of the body, re move the obstructions of its organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul humors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disordered organs into their natural action. and im p_art a healthy tone with strength to the whole system. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of everybody, but also formidable and dangerous dis eases. While they produce powerful effects, they are at the same time, in diminished doses, the safest and best physic that can be employed for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and, being purely vegetsible, arefree from any risk of harm. Cures have been made which surpass belief, were they not substantiated by men of such exalted position and character, as to forbidthe suspicion of untruth.
