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.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.
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 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

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. Many
eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their
names to certify to the public the reliability of our
remedies, while others have sent us the assurance of
their conviction that, our Preparations contribute
immensely to the relief of our afflicted, suffering fel
low men. . ...4
The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis

stomach, Nausea,lndigestiou, Morbid Inaction of the
Bowels and Pain arising therefrom, Flatulency, Loss
