GOOD JUVENILES.
Bina, JEWELS.— By the Rev. Richard Newton, P.D.

Bros. Philadelphia: Presbyterian Publication
Committee.
Precious stones are entertaining topics of dis
course. Their intrinsic beauty and extraordinary
value have excited the passions of men and made
them centres of many a romantic story. They
have a branch of history all to tne.2selves. The
inspired writers have made abundant use of them
by way of illustration, and they shine conspicu
ously in some of the grandest passages of the Old
and New Testaments. With all his well-known
power as an evangelical teacher of the young, Dr.
Newton, in this volume, has used this interesting
class of objects to enforce Bible truths. It is one
of the richest and most attractive volumes of the
welcome series, which now for many years has
been issuing from his pen. It abounds in so
many striking examples from real life, that a dry,
dull page or paragraph cannot be found in the
book. The externals of the book are also deci
dedly attractive, the illustrations being original
and striking. We may be permitted to criticise
the use of the single word " darkey," as more
appropriate to negro serenaders than to the pulpit
of an enlightened teacher and sincere friend of
the despised race, as we know Dr. Newton is.

cities of most juveniles, but always with distinct
and good aims and with a downright earnestness
and vigor that carry along the convictions and
stir the enseienee of the reader. They are well

We welcome these two volumes as real and
highly valuable accessions to educational litera
ture. They are from a source already too well
and favorably known for labors in the higher
branches of this department, to need endorse-
Inca here. The series of books of which they
form a part, Marks a long step in advance of the
old merely external modes of treating the sciences
of Rhetoric, Logic and Grammar. Every state
ment and every principle laid down, is traced to
and made dependent upon the law of thought
governing the outward fact. In a word, the sys
tems here inculcated are satisfactory because they
are philosophical. The Art of Composition is•in
filet, that instruction book perhaps of all others
most needed, a philosophical, intelligible English
grammar. It opens -a hopeful,prospeei.‘fer the
generations coming forward, in regard to this
hitherto driest and least skilfully handled of all
branches of an English Education. It is no less
of an achievement than a Readable Treatise on
Grammar. The one on the Art of Discourse, is
an enlargement of the author's treatise on Rhet
oric, published in 1850. Here also we see the
same conscientious regard to the living internal
principle, as the more important part of the sys
tem. Invention, or the supply of the thought, is
placed in the first commanding rank.in rhetorical
instruction; a leading aim in the reconstruction
Of the earlier work was to exhibit the grounds
of all the principles of the art in the nature of
thought and of language, the design being to put
students on a course of training, which, if faith
fully pursued, shall secure to them a perpetual
growth in power as thinkers and also as speakers
and writers.
We cordially recommend the works to all who
eau appreciate intelligent methods of imparting
knowledge.
THE BULLS AND TELE JONATEEANS; comprising John
Bull and Brother Jonathan, and John Bull in
America. By James K. Paulding. Edited by
Win. J. Paulding. In one volume. Bvo. pp. 380.
Published and for sale as above.'
This is the first volume of the collected works
i'f J. K. Paulding, uniform with his life pub
lished some months ago by Messrs. Scribner, and
to be followed by other volumes of his works in
rapid succession. The one before us contains two
humorous treatises, " John Bull and Brother
Jonathan," and "John Bull in America." They
are composed somewhat in the vein of Washing-
Din Irving's Knickerbocker, the first being a
burlesque history of the United States, and the
second a still broader burlesque of the coarse,
Contemptuous style in which English travellers, a
quarter of a century ago, were in the habit of
w riting about this country. Notwithstanding a
multitude of allusions to men and events little
known now, and although t,he Addisoikian eleianCe
of Irving is wanting to the satire, the comic ef
feet of the book is utterly irresistible. Yet it is
doubtful whether any permanent value can be
assigned to these sketches which rise but a mod-

crate height beyond the dignity of those epheme
ral productions designed for the passing enter
tainment of the reader. They, however, will
help to point some reflections on the early works
of the distinguished English novelist who is about
to visit the country he has abused. The volume
is printed and bound in fine library style.
KATIIRINA : Her Life and Mine, in a Poem. By .7
G. Holland, author of " Bitter Sweet." Bvo. pp
290. Published and for sale as above.
The loveliness and redeeming power of Chris
tian womanhood is the theme of this admirable
poem. Kathrina, lovely, gifted and pious, is
linked with a still more gifted, but thoroughly
worldly man, who, in the vehemence of youthful
affection, puts her, against her own tender remon
strance, in the place of God. She warns him that he
will be disappointed, if he persists in giving her
what belongs to God.
"There will come a time
A sad, sad time, when in your famished soul,
The cry for something more, and more divine,
Will rise, nor be repressed."
The vicissitudes, by which he is led gradually
to admit the truth of her words, culminate and
bring forth their_ fruit at her dying bed, where
she tells him, a disappointed, heart-broken man :
You have been hungry all your life for God,
And knew it not."
In, that hour of overwhelming affliction, what
the worldling had not found in human love, in
household ties, or in the pursuit of art, he
finds in the submission and consecration of his
nature to God.
• It is a noble Christian poem, and while it will
greatly enhance Dr. Holland's reputation as a
writer and a poet, it contributes to the higher
walks of literature some of those elements of pos-,
itive, living, practical Christianity of which they
are so painfully vacant. We may, in . fact, set
this pure and lofty conception over against the
sensuality and worldly-mindedness of a large part
of unbelieving Bayard Taylor's Picture of St.
John—the last few cantos of which, it must be
admitted, in some degree releem that poem from
the charge of irreligion. But Bayard Taylor's
Clelia is merely a passionate, l loving, superstitious
Italian ; Holland's Kathrina is a noble, specimen
of intelligent, gifted, devoted womanhood, crown
ed with the surpassing loveliness of true piety.
Dr. Holland's Poem, besides its accordance with
the prevailing convictions of mankind, has an im
portant element of popularity in the general per
spicuity of the style and simplicity and freshness
of the conceptions. We think it will have a wide
circulation.

A NEW STABAT MATER.—Trench, in the first
"edition of hisr"Sacr6d Latin Poetry," published
in 1849, stated that of the Latin hymns of Ja
cobus de Benedictis, only the " Stabat Mater,"
and a shorter and inferior production entitled
"De Contemptu Mundi," has been preserved.
In his second edition, issued in 1866, he informs
us that subsequently to his fir ,t edition, Ozanam,
in his " Poetes Francis .ains en Italien Troisieme
Siecle," published, " though apparently from
an imperfect manuscript, a beautiful pendant to
that poem. It is the ‘Stabat Mater' of the
Blessed Virgin by the cradle of Bethlehem, and
not by the cross of Calvary." Ozanam believed
that he was the first to reprint this newly-dis
covered poem, so complete was the obscurity into
which it had fallen. Prior to last year it had
never appeared in an English translation, or been
reprinted in that country. In July of 1866, Dr.
Neale, whose taste and zeal as a hymnologist are
well known, republished the original text with a
translation by himself. It furnishes a curious
study in connection with the world-wide hymn of
the same author. One scarcely knows whether
more to admire the Mother Dolorous, or the
Mother Beautiful. The metre and much of the
phraseology are the same in the two hymns, but a
slight change, chiefly of the adjectives, makes
the whole difference between the two poems, thus
furnishing an admirable illustration of the flexi
bility of the Latin language. A single stanza,
the first of the newly-discovered hymn, will illus
trate what we mean—
Stabat mater speciosa,
Juxta, fcenum gaudiosa,
Dum jacebat parvulus ;
Cujus animam gaudentem,
Lmtabundam ac ferventum,
. Pertransavit jubilus.

Episcopalian.—The Commission on Ritualism.—
The London Christian World says in regard to the
recent report; What does all this teach? That the
fortress of Anglican Romanism, ritualist or other
wise, is in the Prayer-book, and that the sole effec
tual method of assailing it is by thorough revision
of the Prayer-book in an Evangelical sense. Is this
to be hoped for, or is it not? Our conclusion, after
long and careful consideration,—a conclusion not
by any means jubilant but rather regretful,--is that
it can be done only after the Protestants in the Es
tablished Church have bid adieu to its Roman
jets and asserted-their freedom.. -
Parochial Statistics of the Church of England, show
that a great change for the better has taken place
within .the last year. Formerly, clergymen could
hold any number of livings, and fifty years ago the
11,000 preferments in England were held by 5,000
incumbents. .Every incumbent on an average held
more than two livings. Many curates alio, of whom
there were 5 000, had charge of two parishes.
Large metropolitan parishes were left in charge
or a single curate. An Act was passed in 1837 under
the auspices of the late Bishop of Loudon (Bishop
Blomfield), prohibiting any parochial preferment be
ing held with any other cure of souls. The .result
is that, though parochial charges have increased
from 11,000 to nearly 13,000, there is now, at least,
one incumbent responsible for every district. The
number of curates has remained almost the same
as before, and is a little under 5 000, while incum
bents have increased nearly threefold.
Colonial Bishops who have been fighting in South
Africa the battle of Church independence in the mat
ter of Bishop Colenso, have been associating them
selves in London with the most advanced of the
Tractarian party. Bishop Gray, of Capetown, who
received such a generous eulogium from Dr. Duff
for his faithful maintenance of discipline, was offi
ciating in one of the 'London Tractarian..churches
on Friday evening, when the so-calked "...rather Ig
natius'' entered with about two hundred men and
women in procession, in the middle of the service,
to receive his blessing. They knelt down solemnly
in the midst of the congregation, while Bishop Gray
pronounced his blessing, and they then retired. T.his.
favor was sought by the " Father ' to show honor to
the man who had dealt so faithfully with Colenso.
Bishop Twells, also; who lad been - preaching in the
.cathedral of Natal, has been officiating in one of
the most extreme Ritualistic chnrches in London.
-Methodist—Zed in Church Erection. The con
gregation of Calvary Church, Phila., intend build
ing a large new church on the site of the present
one, at Twenty-first and Jefferson streets, which has
for some time proved too small for the rapid growth
of religion in that neighborhood.— A fine new
church is building at Paschallville, Twenty-seventh
Ward, Philadelphia, of the Gothic style of architec
ture, 48 by 78 feet in dimensions. Beside these, we
notice the erection or dedication of fifteen other
churches mentioned in a single M. E. paper, ten of
which are in Illinois alone, and.of these last, two
are to cost severally $40,000 and s3o,ooo.—The Cen
tral Ohio Conference met in Fostoria, Aug. 28th, and
were hospitably received. The correspondent in
The Methodist says:—"Even the Catholic families of
the place were quite free in their courtesies to these
ministers of a Protestant communion.... The loss
during the war, of nearly a thousand of, its mem
bers on the battle-field, did not hinder its' progress.
The increase in members in 1866 was thirteen per
cent.,and in the year just closed about six per cent.;
in both years beyond the connectional average.
The preachers have been receiving better salaries
during the past year than before. but their support
is still not up to the expensiveness of the times. I
think the average pay in our Conference is about
$BOO. Three years ago there was not one charge in
the Conference that paid 'as high as $1,000; now
there are twelve that pay from $l,OOO, to $1,600.
Yet our preachers get a more liberal (or shall . l say
less stinted?) support than is usually given in the
same communities to pastors of other churches.”—
The Treasurer's report of the Cincinnati Conference
shows a total of missionary contributions of $20,734
—decrease from last year of $3,076. The-Centenary
retimas of the conference were 4;382,500 but other
reports yet to come in are to- make it up to $401,-
000.—At the Boston Preachers' Meeting recently,
Rev. C. N. Smith called attention to the importance
of a more careful examination of candidates for
church-membership, and, athis suggestion, a Com
mittee was appointed to prepare a memorial to the
General Conference, with instructions, to report at
some future meeting.—General Clinton 8.. Fisk
was in Chicago on Sunday, August 18th, and attend
ed the dedication of the Elston Road Chapel, where
he made a pleasant address. He discovered two old
Sunday-School scholars in the congregation, and in
their name made a thank-offering to the new
church.
The Wesleyan Missionary work in South Africa
is meeting with gratifying success. More than five
thousand converts are reported in the Cape-Colony
and in Kaffir land, exclusive of Natal. Polygamy
is found to be the greatest obstacle in the -way of
the reception of the Gospel.—Methodism in France
and Switzerland is on the increase. The increase
includes five local preachers, 208 members, eight
Sunday-schools, fifty-three teachers, 434 .scholars,
and about 600 hearers, the whole average of persons
attending the ministn being 10,000. This encour
aging progress is due to revivals which have broken
out in most of the circuits. The Sixteenth Confer
ence of the Methodist Church in the two countries
was recently held in Lausanne.
oman Catholic.—The .Congregationalist and _Re
corder calculates " that, in twenty years, the Roman
Catholic 'immigration has been only about 20 per
cent. in excess of the Protestant. Meantime the in
crease of the native Protestant population has been
vastly in excess of the Catholic. And already
the tide of immigration is turning in our favor. Du
ring the present year, up to August 21st, the
whole number of immigrants received at the port
of New York, was 163059, of whom only 45,89.5 -
were from Ireland, against 77.042 from Germany.
England and Scotland sent 25,453, Norway, Swe
den and Denmark, 4,918, Holland, 1,836. Switz
erland, 2,959, so that the majority of this year's im
migration is decidedly Protestant. For the Diocese
of Philadelphia, which comprehends the city of
Philadelphia, thirty-five counties in the eastern half
of Pennsylvania, and the whole State of Delaware,
the official report claims only a Roman Catholic
population of 275,0001 The State of New York is
divided into the dioceses of New York, Brooklyn,
Albany and Buffalo. The two latter, which com
prise nearly the whole State, and all the interior
cities, are rated together at 430,000 no estimate is
given for New York and Brooklyn, but we will con
cede say 600,000, or a million Roman Catholics for
the entire State. The population of New York in
1865 was 3,831,777, and so the Romanists consti
tute but little over one-fourth of the population even
where their strength is greatest; and both immigra
tion and native increase are now turning the ratio
against them. The diocese of Hartford, which com
prises the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island,
has an estimated Roman Catholic population of
125,000. But the Congregational churches alone in
those States, have 50,000 members; and how small
is the prOportion of Catholics to the whole popular
tion I ln the whole country the Roman Catholic
priesthood numbers abmit 3,100 ; but there are 3.000
Congregational ministers, 2,700 Episcopalian, 7,000
Presbyterian, 11,000 Baptist, 30,0u0 Methodists, of
all sorts; and the total of members in the various
Protestant communions is nearly six million, exceed
, ing the whole estimated population of Roman Cath.-
olicsl".
Unitarian. In San Francisco, Rev.. Horatio
Stebbins has commenced a series of popular services
on Sabbath evenings in the Academy of Music of
that city. They are very largely attended.—At
Dover, Brass, :?.uring two recent Sundays, twenty
nine adults have united with the Unitarian Church.
Nearly one-half of. these were males. The Sunday
school is flourishing and is made up of nearly all
the congregation, both young and old.— The
Christian Register in an appeal for the completion of
the $lOO,OOO fund, of which we believe not one-third
has yet been raised, says the
,fact is that Unitarians
as a Christian body have only just entered upon
their career. We are beginning to feel that we must
do our part in the great work of evangelizing the
world. .In our moments of complacency we boast
of our wealth, of the extent and richness of our lit
erature, of the world's need of those better ideas of
Christianity which we have, and yet all this. only
adds to our condemnation unless we do a great deal
more than we have yet done.

West Coucord.—The Society in Terre Haute, Ind.,
has sold its church and lot for $10,700, and, now
proposes to build in a more eligible location. The
old church .was in the heart of the business portion
of Terre Haute.—The Maine Universalist Conven
tion is taking active measures to raise a fund for
aged and indigent ministers.A Society has been
organized in Mankato, Minn., through the efforts of
Rev. T. C. Eaton; and they hope to engage the ser
vices of a minister to labor with them.—Rev. W. S.
Black, of Galesburg, formerly of N. Y.,
has been
preaching forty years. He is believed to be the old
est Universalist minister in the country, who has
charge of a regularly organized parish. He preaches

Moffat's Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters
were first used in private practice in 1825. They were introduced
to the public in 1835, since which time their reputation has extended.
until they have a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying
Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilized nations who
have not personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great
success is owing to their uniform reliability in cases of Constipation,
Bilious and Stomachic dieeimes; whether of long or short duration.
They are entirely vegetable in their composition, and harmless to
the gentlest infant. One ingredient - opens the pores of, the skin;
another is diuretic; and stimulates proper action of the kidneys; a
third is emollient, lessening phlegm and humor from the lunge;
other properties are warming and cathartic, and cleanse the stomach
and bowels from all unhealthy secretions. Their combined effort
is, to regulate the impaired fanctionei of the - system, and to produce
health. It is not asserted Moffat's Pills are a cure-aft--that they
will cure all complaintc,--bet underlordinary circa instances they
