Two more of this exquisite series of Dickens’ works, and quite up to the promise of the first volumes. The illustrations are good, though they evince their American origin in many subtle ways tj an observant eye, and are deficient in that gro tcsrpieness of detail that characterized the original English illustrati ins and harmonized so well with the text. The letter-press -is very legible, though not suited to very weak eyes. Little Dorritt ranks f,raong the ablest; produc tions of Dickens’ pen, and struck a powerful blow at the routine which strangles public business in England, at the discipline of debtors’ prisons and at the absurd stiltedness of English society. The part of the tale especially devoted to the Circum locution Office is now classical and the ‘ 'Barnacles” will live forever. In point of dramatic power it ranks below none of Dickens’ works. In the O'd Curiosity Shop Dickens deals too much in devils and angels and too little in human beings; but the touching portraiture df “Little Nell ” will ever reader the work’a favorite.

Reinaxjd, the best Arabian scholar in France, fell dead of apoplexy on the Flace du Carousel, a few weeks since. He was born at Latnbesc, (tnouths of the Rhone country) in 1795; felt early a passion for the Oriental languages, and came up to Paris to attend Syl vestre Be Sacy’s lectures. He made such rapid progress that he was elected a member of the -Aca demy of Inscriptions and Belles-lettres in 1832, and made assistant keeper of Oriental MSS. in the Imperial Library in the same year. At Syl vestre De Sacy's death in 1838, he was appoint ed to the chair of Arabian in the School of Liv ing Oriental Languages in the In 1855, he watt made Keepdl of Oriental MSS.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1867. Co-operation among the Printers. —La Bi/diotheque Nationale (National Library), was founded by two hundred printers in Paris, each of whom agreed to take at least one share of ten dollars in the enterprise, paying his share at the rate of twenty cents a week. Their design was to pub ish works whose copyright had expired, at a rate of not more than five cents a volume in paper covers; and as they saw they could furnish volumes at this rate (certainly cheap enough), they did not open bids for printing to stimulate the lowest bidders in the market. Their means were limited. They published three volumes to begin with ; these had an excellent sale ; there upon they brought out three others —and so pru dently they went on Now they'have 105 works in their collection, have sold two millions of vol umes, and sell weekly some twenty five or thirty thousand volumes. We may notice the extraor dinary cheapness of the publications issued in this Bibliotheqm Nationale, which Contains books bound and gilt-lettered for-about seven cents and one mill each volume.

WITHERED RIGHT HANDS. BY REV. R. M. HATFIELD. Our Saviour, on a certain occasion, found among the worshippers in a Jewish syna gogue a man whose “ right hand was with ered.” This man’s case was not so bad as tlat of the cripple who had been helpless for “ eight and thirty years.” But his afflic tion was a serious one; and when the Sa viour healed him we can readily believe that he went on his way with a glad and rejoic ing heart. It is one of the evidences of our depravity that we are interested in things seen and temporal, rather than in the invisi ble and eternal. Our sympathies are exci ted in behalf of such as are infirm or distort ed in body, while we pass by those who are morally diseased and deformed in soul with out any proper appreciation of their deplor able condition. Our Saviour was compassionate toward those who suffered physically, but his deep er sympathies moved toward such as were dead in trespasses and sins; and these last are always the more numerous class of - suf ferers.. Where we meet with one man who is sick or maimed in body, we see a score who are suffering from moral Might or spiri tual paralysis. In all our churches are men who are marred of their fair proportions and morally impotent. They are healthy and vigorous in body, competent to engage in worldly enterprises of pith and moment, but able to labor in building the walls of Zion only in a left-handed and inefficient manner. It may be worth while to inquire why the courts of the Lord’s house are made to resemble an infirmary or hospital. Some of these members of the household of faith have their right hands withered. By skeptical doubts and questionings with re gard to the truth of God’s Word. It is not for me to determine how far one may go toward being an infidel without de stroying his own soul. But a simple and downright faith in the Gospel is indispens able to the most efficient efforts for the sal- I vation of our fellow-men. A belief in man’s lost condition, in the atonement of Christ, and in the inevitable and irreparable ruin of those who neglect this great salvation, is found wherever men are found who over come the world and are mighty through God in storming the fortresses of sin. It was this, thorough persuasion of the truth j as.it is in Jesus which led to the almost bu j perbuman labors of the Apostles. They be lieved, and therefore spoke.. Knowing the terrors of the Lord, they persuaded men, saving some with fear — pulling them out of the | fire. The love of Chrjst constrained them; they judged that all* men* were dead, that Christ died to save all.men from this death of sin; and that for such as rejected the atonement) and mediation of the Son of God “there remained no more sacrifice for sins, but a|qertain"ffearfnl looking for of judgment arid-f¥ery- i ndbgnation which should devour thafl4y.e r^tiea-!.r , i They laborodj- suffered, and died in full view of the cross and the judgment-seat. To them a heaven of unending felicity and an eternal hell were unquestionable realities. And no man who lacks faith in these sure- ties can feel as they felt, or labor as they la bored. For want of this faith many are weak and sickly among us, and many sleep. They are not able to bear the strong meat of the Gospel, and they adulterate the sin cere milk of the Word with the decoctions of Buckle or Theodore Parker. Without having renounced the Gospel, they are in doubt with regard to its fundamental truths —such as the depravity of human nature, the divinity of Christ, and the necessity of the regeneration of the soul by the power of the Holy Ghost. However this skepticisr.v may have been induced, it cripples those who are its subjects, and stands fatally in the way of their largest usefulness. Dr. Chalmers once made the experiment for a term of years of preaching a gospel that had no Saviour in it. That he brought to this work extraordinary ability, asd prose cuted it with untiring energy no one will question; yet, according to his own state ment, he labored in vain-and spent his strength for naught. It was not until he began to point men to the Lamb of God, who taketh away thejsin of the world that sinners were saved by his ministry. And what are the complaints and confessions that are uttered at the conventions of our “liberal” or “ progressive ” Christians but so many confirmations of the view I have taken of this subject? After disowning the Saviour, scorning the work of the Holy Spirit, and doing their utmost to lead men to contemn experimental piety, they bewail the fact that their system does not, convert sinners and produce devout and spiritually minded Christians. Some of them, with commendable frankness, admit that .they must, in some way, secure the unction and enthusiasm of the ignorant and ; bigoted Methodists, if they would see the triumph of “ broad” or “ rational” Christianity-. When will these men and all men recognize the truth that as they sow so must they reap ? Men do not gather grapes of thorns. The fruits of the Spirit do not grow from the seeds and roots of infidelity. There are others who are crippled By Bigotry. It is no just ground of complaint that a Christian prefers his own church and people to all others. The denomination to which he belongs has peculiar claims upon him; and it is always a suspicious circumstance when he professes to" utterly ignore those claims. But the charity that begins at homo is not always to stay there. Many of the benevolent enterprises of the day re quire the co-operation of all who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. But there are unfortunate brethren in every denomi nation who never engage in such undertak ings with hearty good-will. They are al ways suspicious that these efforts are to ad vance the interests of som.e other denomi nation r athefthaiTTnei r "otvi- x-f^tney are Methodists, thqy are afraid that what is be ing done will not promote the particular ism on which they have set their hearts If Bap tists they are troubled by the apprehension that people may .be converted and reach heaven without going down into the water and coming up out of the water. Congre gationaliBtB who are the victims of this in firmity will endorse no movement that does not promise to glorify Plymouth Rock and the Pilgrim Fathers. And we have a class of Episcopalians who hardly think it worth while for men to call upon the name of the Lord unless they use a prayer-book in doing so, have faith in apostolic succession, and a profound regard for the millinery of religion No Christian erin surrender himself to this narrow bigotry, and exalt the mere circum stantials of religion above its essence and life, without having his band withered and bis right arm paralyzed. I sum up what I would say on this subject, in conclusion, by the remark that not a few in our church are in the ease of the cripple in the' synagogue. Through inconsistencies of conduct lohich are utterly at variance with their Christian vows and obligations, Some are intensely worldly, and in such haste to be rich that they have neither heart nor time for the work of the Lord. No matter what excuses may be framed for this excessive worldliness, it is death to the soul. No man can serve two masters. He may indeed be busy in the world, arid serve the Lord; but when he submits to the world he throws off his allegiance to God. And his attempts to serve God and mammon are pit iful failures, and known to be such by the world, however he may-plead for or excuse his inconsistencies. Here is a wealthy mem ber of the Church, who rents his buildings to be used for immoral purposes. Drinking saloons, brothels, and gambling-hells, located on his premises, are destroying young men by hundreds. This man is not merely dis abled in his right hand —he is buried -under all the brick and mortar used in the erection of a four-story building. And, unless he changes his course, and ceases to strengthen the hands of evil-doers, it will be a happy thing for the Church and the world when he and his inconsistencies are buried so deep in a common grave that men will be glad to forget them together. Here is another, an officer in the Church—i» some cases a min ister —who is a wine-bibber, and who places intoxicating drinks before his children and his guests. His sons, led on by his example, become drunkards and die of delirium tre mens, or live for a few years a disgrace to their friends and a curse to the world. And yet the father, as if infatuated, encourages by his example and influence the practice that has wrecked the honor and happiness of his family. Men will suspect, and not with out reason, that he is fast beeomingthe slave of an appetite that is leading his heart to utter perverse things. Had this man as many hands as Briareus, and were he dis posed to employ them all in works of piety , and mercy, he could hardly hope to com ■ pensate the world for the injury he has in flicted upon it. O, that the great and good Physician would come into his church, and as of old, heal all manner-of sickness and disease among the people. Chicago, July 9th, 1867. gbtetiOTßUfl Climax.
