Wood, author of "Illustrated Natural- History," &c., with new desigas by W. F. Keyl and E. Smith, and an — lndex. New York : Har per & Brim. 'Bvo., pp. 651. For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. A volume of the most delightful interest, and in a new field of inquiry, among the lower orders ofnature. Birds; beasts, rep tiles, fishes, "mollusks, and even corals, are followed` to their homes in the air, upon and beneath the earth, under the water,' in hollow trees, in huts, nests, cells, burrnws, caves, shells, cocoons, webs,` ,l gallntits, and , so forth, and the whole domestic economy, of these creatures is laid open • to. yieW. Such revelations of strength and skill, as in the beaver; of mathematical exactness, as in the bee; of burglarious character, as in the wren ; of secretiveness, as' in the trap-door spider and many others; of mili tary traits, as in the elk, are gathered in this volume, as make it a storehouse of cu riosities more remarkable than fiction. The Divine wisdom and power displayed in the instincts of the animal creation may here be studied most satisfactorily and profitably. Most readers will find a new world laid open to them in these investigations of the inner side of animal life. Many errors in - the common views on these subjects are exposed, while investigations into other supposed errors are reported, from which we learn that,lh some instances, they were founded in truth'; as in the case of the apples of Sodom and the . mathematical exact ness of the bee-cells. In many instances, especially of Jess known animals, a pretty fall second , of their habits and description of their appearance is given. The numerous illustrations are a leadibg feature of the book. They are carefully drawn and 'exeented, many' of them being in a high degree graphic and beautiful, and many lavishly expanded to a full page. PERIODICALS. The July number of the American Pres byterian and Theological Revieuicommences with an article which will have increased interest from the recent decease of the author, Rev. M. P. Squier, D.D. It is a proof, on rational grounds, of .the being of a God, called out by the surrender of this method of proof on the part of the school of Hamilton, Manuel, and others.. The . author deems this surrender and the anta gonism consequently allowed between faith and philosophy, as a source of philosophic atheism and infidelity. The argument is as follows : 1. Something is. 2. Effects are. 2. Something always was. ~4. The always-being is—eternal cause; 5. intelli gent cause ; 6. righteous cause, and 7. in finite cause. 8. The always-being is God, the personal Jehovah, with all the attri butes and prerogatives of the Godhead. The second article is a translation from the Dutch of Van Oosterzee on the Full ness of Time, designed to vindicate the use of this expression , by the apostle With ref erence to the birth of Christ. The sum mary of facts in the condition of the hea then world and the Jewish nation is com prehensive, interesting, and valuable,though the views taken are in no important partic ular different front those found in Nean der's Histoiy 'or Conybeare and Howson's Paul. Dr, Gridley follows with a biograph ical article , on Raphael the Great Painter. Little more than bare facts are given. The Reformed Church of France, is an article from the British Quarterly Review for April, which traoes the history of this iateresting organization from 1848, show ing the nature of the crisis in which it is at present involved. It will be read with deep interest by every friend of evangelical religion and of voluntary church organiza tions. The boldness of the orthodox party and' their encouraging success thus far give promise of a noble career in the future. If France is to have political supremacy, ; .on the Continent, it becomes of the highest moment that French Protestantism should be thoroughly reorganized ,on the evangeli cal basis which at present seems gaining in strength and solidity. " The Name of the Lord" is in the fifth article shown to have a fullness of meaning beyond what we commonly give it, and practical inferences are drawn from the discussion. Article VI. summarizes the proceedings of the General Assembly at:St. Louis, but fails in any proper sense to diiimiss and judge of them, as it seems to us would be ap propriate in the highest literary organ of , our Church. The action on Reunion re ceives consideration on two pages, in which the failure to reunite not. is briefly treated as disastrous. We much need,; thorough, fearless, philosophical discnssiotof the po salon and mission of our body at the pre tsent time, such as a theological Quarterly, might be expected to give us. Numerous critical notices of recent hooki ollow. .

OkNERIISITY. Not what we give, tut what it costs its: to ' give, is theluteasure. of our generosity.- True genereilityas , a characteristic . shown by those ,who , solnuish Prefer the.happiriess and comfort `of, others , to any indulgence they eenl4rOCike 'tor themselves:that, they continually sacrifice 'then: luxuries, the, grktiffeatinn.of their tastes, and their very . comfortii, to the. pleastire of doing good andiof making othersihappy. ; ':;The noblest element,in. generous action, after our , desire to use the-wealth God has given us, as those should who are but , stew ardsef what they seem, to possess, is self sacrifice. One of the' most lean leas Ons for the very generous to lean is to be just first; but if this quality iA wanting,.gene rosity despoiled of "half merit .and beauty". Now, having satisfi .d justice, gen erosity becomes commendable. Ascertain the wants of others; see, how far they can be satisfied by practising a wholeiome self denial, and then give with a discretion which may double the, value of the gift. Discretion in giving, or knowing '.when . to give and how to give," is the rare faculty which makes generosity doubly acceptable. I have just used the eiptession a wholesome self-denial; and I mean by it to condemn the want of justice to one's self, which is. the temptation of some over-zealous and over-generous individuals . It is not an uncommon thing to- hear. persons gay that they w,eii.lll: delight, to be generou,s,,but this is a pleasure denied to them . by , their marrow, would reply to this, that I never,yet; F.? a person; not reduced to abiolutebeggary and'lAarya don, who could find Means and epPer tunity to be :generous' if he 'desired "to"be. T have already' recorded 'the gen6roid i net . . of the 'poor needle•voman, -diinding her 'small supply of work with her still. poorer , neighbon could,add to this almost in numerable instances of the manner •in which an unaffected generous nature will be sure' to manifest itself. One 'of the most generous persons with whom I am acquainted lives upon so small an income that, in these *ys of' high prices and, ex travagant expenditure the truth, if known, would excite incredulous surprise ; yet, from this small sum she saves enough to do a hundred liberal things An extra shilling a week goes to her washer-woman in the ex treme cold weather ; an extra shilling a day to the seamstress she occasionally em ploys if the " times are hard," as the say ing is, or work is difficult to be obtained; delicacies find their way to the poor and infirm ; the neat and warm dress is given just when it is most needed, and when it had seemed, impossible, to procure it; the empty coal-bin is found oat in some, won derful manner, and is as wonderfully sup plied; and poor " Aunt Amy's" weak eyes have a supply of fine old handkerohiefs before the coarse ones she can procure for herself have a chance to injure them. So much diaoretion is exercised as to what and when she gives, that a - dollar• bestowed , by her• is without exaggeration worth five times the mount/given by others. • , And how is this generous course sus- tained ?'By a rigid economy in her own expenditure, especially in her personal ex penditure ; by a earefUl house-keeping, in which nothing is allowed ; to he wasted; by theiwearing of thick, plain shoes, and .not over...fine dresses, and bonnets that are , not always in the latest fashion; bya constant ly careful consideration of all 'bidden* and apparently' trifling expenses.— Alpr in:yrs of Action. SHAMEFULNESS ' OF A SPENDTHRIFT LIFE. In the June number of Blackwood, in the courseof treview of a new Life of Sir . Richard Steele, by Henry P. Montgomery, marred, as is the fashion of that magazine, by many illiberal sarcasms, the following very just strictures occur Steele was an Irishman. He was horn in Dublin in the year 1671. His mother, we are assured, was Irish. Whether his father counsellor-at-law, and private secretary to James, first Duke of Ormond"—was a native of Ireland is left uncertain. Steele had those qualities which are popularly as cribed to the Irish, if that could be an argument for his birth—mother-wit in abundance, a love of pleasure and a con tempt for prudence. But Ireland has no monopoly of convivial topers and careless spendthrifts. The " Sheridan type," under which Steele is here ranked, may be found frequently enough amongst the Anglo- Saxons. Where the wit and pleasure giving %utilities of this type of men are pre-eminent, the character is very indul gently treated ; where the wit is scanty, the vice of it becomes very sonspionous, and is branded by very ugly names. It must be admitted,'however, that though of this bid type, Steele Was . not a ,bad speci men of it. Those who are disposed to be very indulgent toward this class of iiiten-L -who run' go gaily into debt, who loio'rrow with no chance of repayment except borrowing again, t who, when they hate plundered itheir . tradesmen, plunder their, friends to.esoape.from• the bailiffs*, and •who' lie largely akevery turn of the transaction; —may do well te:reflect•what it is that men of this character are really deficient in. In common prudence, itiszenerally said. tbe sentiment of ionor, say we. No one' questions their want of Prudence ; but the; marked defect in the character—that which is its real vieakness--is"the absence of that' serum of honor 'which forbids a man to pro; wise what he knows he cannot perform. For, *pfter all, it is not ~ prudence, which comes to a man's aid in times of pressing, Seed, when the want of money is sorely felt. The mind under these'circumstances readily leaves the future to•shift, for itself,' • ` • that ', or conjures up vague probabilities at " something will happen." It is a sterner sentiment that pQmes 49 the rescue. Prm deuce is the virtue of prosperity, or of those who are on the' safe road to it.

We have all, been in thkhabit • of hearing that great men • are slivide4, into ,three classes—those who "are born great," these who -" achieve greatness," and those who " have , greatness thrust upon ' 'them." It is something" new. to find a Mu' Who, is great by all these titles : That; hoWegrei., is the singttlar: and happy lot of his'Serena Highnesa(may it , be all serene 1) Priric:e Charles Eitel Frederiok ZeplyrintisLoilis of , Hohenzollern.:-Sigmaringen,• ci-devat4' Lieutenant in the second regiment of Fruit sian.Dragoons, and now Hespodar,Elect Roumania, To be born ,a prince, we sap,- pose, is, to be ,horn great. To find one self suddenly exalted • from a subaltern to a sovereign, looks very like liming greatness ihrrist upCii One. But it is in the achieve ment of greatness that, to Cur nand, greatness 'consists. A' few days agci.Prince Charles of Hohenzollern was a mere prinel, and., considering _how the tide.-has been cheapened by. Scythian savages in modern times, that does- not= count for much. ~,it would have been very possible to write the contemporaneous history of Europe witjippt, mentioning His, Highness', name_ But that is possible no longer. Prince Charles has now made himself a place in history!, and whether he succeeds or fails, future generations will know at least that there has been such a man. Not many months since, Alexander John Couza was Hospodar of the united Princi palities of Moldavia and Wallachia. Ori ginally a Colonel of Militia, he had played his cards. so well as not , only to get himself into the first position in the country, but also to combine the two Principalities into , , one, and to make of them a Roumaniani State, one and invisible. But he was too much of 'a*tatarper and though his coups : - d'etat, organized onfthe correct Napoleonic model, succeeded for a. time, he managed in the end f to alienate all parties. - In ordet to keep his ground, he coquetted , al,ter; nately. with France and 'Russia. Driven to extremities, he , had sold, himself to the latter power, and :Wee , the-point of lee r sting the Rusdiahe quietly, into. the .of palities, when - he'ivae himself arrested; de: posed, and exiled. The conspir ators offered the vacant throne to the Comte de Flandre, who declined it at once., They then cast about ibr tt,nother, candidate,. and this time, it ` must .be owned, they, chose well. ' It is probable that they, sought for 'instructions in the proper , and that prudent suggestions were not withheld: Their choice 'fell uponAhe9eiennatf son of the , Prince of Hohenzollern; and a , rather tumultuous plebiscite ratified it withoht de lay. - Why-did they choose hint ? Probe : ble because he is the -Emperor Napoleou?s candidate. ,It is• certain .that it was the French Minister who . presented, the,result of the election to the conference.at Paris. Prince Charles is , connected : with thetEm peror by several ties. His maternal gran d • bloater was a Beauliarmis—Stephanie; Grand Duchess of Badenone to whoie affection Prince Louis Napoleon was ranch indebted in the days' of his adversity. His paternal grandmother was a Murat, the . I sister :of Joachim, some time, Grand Dake of Berg, and afterwards ,King of Naples There, are few families in whose fortunes the Emperor is likely to take a deeper in terest than in the young Hohenzollerns. The .Roumanians wish tin. independence, and they know they are not strong enough to stand without help. Help from Russia means annexation, which they ¬ want; and France is the only quaver from which they can expect efficient aid. We can readily believe the assurancett of the Prus. shin Government that it way without any suggestion or authority fr, , u, them that the 'Prince set out, on his adventurous journey. It is in the highest degree improbable, however, that he would have undertaken it without some encouragement from another •4narter. ' • As far as things have gone, the young gru.tee'l k pr g eeedin g s have ; been marked by prridence,:its well: as_cpurage and decision. To avoid the appearance= of acting rebel-' 'howdy, he 'has addressed ' letter to the Fort" , acknowledging; 'utireservedlY; ... the &LIMO, sovereignty. Traveling without show and`, mouth aplerity„aeaempanied only . by a ; Prernisin secretary,,and , a Roumanian , aide-de-camp, he disembarked from ant Austrian steamboat at the lortified` town :Of Ternet,Severin, 'and,;" on making himself oordially'Weleomed by his con-i :stittients, anxious te,...be i noini. his subjects. He ibintedkately telegraphed his arrival to the Proyisienal Government,git Bucharest, two members oft which; at once set outdo meet him., He has. made. his tritimphal entry into the eapitak and has been receiv ed With enthusiasm by the'popul4ion. The Assembly has vowed its loyalty,and he has been inaugurated the cathedial.„ It is really amusing to find it announced that, in order to remove the technical difficulty which makes invalid his election, the As sembly haVevoted his father a affords a hint Reurnanian. This is a capital idea, and which may usefully, be acted upon in emer gencies of a similar kind. For instance, A BOLD DRAGOON. the Reconstruction ommittee of the e rican Senate has only to vote...that all the negroes are white in order to bring matters in the United States to a speedy and.pacific solution. This bold dragoon is now the hero of the hen; and being young (he only twenty-seven,) and good looking, will naturally excite much interest in feminine bosoms, and probably be a windfall topho: tographers. .
