F ,,,, s ,—Short Studies on Great Subjects. By
James Anthony Froude, A. M. New York:
rbaries Scribner & Co. Crown Svo. Pp. 534.
Library Edition, $3.00.
The distinguished ability that marks the great
historical work of the author appears in these essays.
They s h o w a wide range of thought and culture,
a keen power of analysis reaching to the heart
of the s ubject, and an earnestness which capti
vates the reader. The topics are indeed among
t h e g reatest within range of human thought;
such as : The Science of History; The Times of
Erasmus and Luther; Influence of the Reform&
t i cs on the Scottish Character; The Philosophy
o f C a tholicism ; Criticism of the Gospel History;
The Book of Job ; Spinoza, &c. ; subjects upon
which all arc eager to have the opinion of. men
o f broad culture and unusual power of thought.

ted views of the difficulties of the Gospels. He

monkish miracles as for those of the G-Ospels.
lint he must be set down rather among the,per
plexed and inquiring than the positively hostile.
And his noble testimony to the Scotch •Reform
ers, must be accepted as the best service render:
ed by modern literature to the history and the
men of those times. The Lectures on Erasmus
an d Luther, show to our minds, progress even
beyond the positions of his history. In the lat
ter, he is apparently in doubt whether Alva'real
ly was the monster he is generally regarded to
be. (History, vol. 9, pp. 322.) In the. Lectures
he says : "I conceive that the most enlightened
phil os opher might have grown hard and narrow
minded, if he had suffered under the adminis
tration of the Duke of Alva." The volume is
issued in a style uniform with the history.

Two books, each from well-known authors

of Christian contemplation. Neither of them is
on the line of modern thought on the Person of
Christ, and to many minds, especially the more
cultivated, they war sdern_ defective On this 14.
aunt. Objections are to be anaWer - W - ttlfh — oilt 7
tics met, and positive advantage gained in vivid
ness and impressiveness, by some regard to the
results of modern criticism on this field. The
highest achievement of devotional writing surely
is not in ignoring, but in comprehending and
rendering subservient to its ends' all that true
science has achieved, within its sphere. Not
that these elements are altogether wanting from
the volumes. Each of them contains a valuable
elver upon the Resurrection, in which attention
is paid to current objections. And both of them
are works of decided literary ability. Dr. Wins
low addresses more earnestly the emotional part of
cm natures; while Dr. Plumer is more strictly
doctrinal and scriptural in style: And it is not
to be doubted that books of this kind are often a
real relief' to the Christian, flying from the con
troversies and doubts and materializing tenden
eiei of the scientific world, and wishing an un
disturbed hour of meditation, in which to feel the
full force of the sublimer realities of his faith.
Itowsox.—Scenes from the Life of St. Paul, and
fhcir Religious Lessons. By the Rev. J. S. How
son, D. D., Joint Author of " The Life and Epis
tles 01 St. Paul." 12mo. 304 pp. Published by
the American Tract Society, Boston.- -
One of the most distinguished of modern irri
tlrs upon the Life of St. Paul has here en
deavored to present in a more decidedly practical
corm than in his well known ".Life and Epis
tles," some aspects of the life of that inexhausti
ble character. The aim is good and in some re-
`petty well carried out,—but we are inclined to
think the writer's forte is rather in the scientific
than in the practical department of his subjeet.
The illustrations are scarcely an addition to .the
value of the volume.

DICKENS. Dombey & Son. By Charles Dickens
With eight illustrations. Charles Dickens Edi
tion. Bvo., pp. 544. Boston : Ticknor & Fields
Philadelphia : J. B. Lippincott & Co.
After a brief respite, the publishers have re
sumed their various issues of Dickens' works.
There seems scarcely anything to be added in
the way of commendation to what has so fre
quently been remarked in noticing previous is-
sues. The Charles Dickens edition has a broad
page, a fair readable type, and running titles to
the pages from the hand of the author. The il
lustrations have a homely reality passing over
into the grotesque, not a little appropriate to, the
character of the books themselves. Dombey &
Sons is among the three or four best works of
the author, being with high dramatic power, and
extraordinary skill in delineation of character.
The disappointment of the " manager Carker"
at the culmination of his schemes is equal to al
most anything in classis or modern - tragedy.
Pore.—An Essay . on Man. By Alexander Pope.
With Illustrations and notes by. S. R. Wells.
12mo. 54 pp. $l.OO or 50 cts. New York: S. R.
Wells. Philadelphia: J. L. Chapin.
Pope's famous essay is here reprinted , in quite
elegant style, the light sketchy drawings inter
spersed being in the main fair representations of
the poet's thought. But as the poem itself is but
little removed from the position of the better
class of heathen n oralists, so the annotations by
the editor—a well-known phrenologist—are in
the interest of an exceedingly defective form of
belief in Christianity. Nevertheless, it is no
ticable that very few of the peculiarities of
phrenology appear in these notes; and we are
bound to admit that Mr. Wells gives some very
decided indications of being in advance of his
author's religious position. _
PRESTON. In Bonds. A Novel. By Laura Pres
ton. Bvo., pp. '438. New York and San Francis
co : A. Roman & Co. Philadelphia : J. B. Lip
pincott & Co. -
A romance which opens upon a very high, key
of love, disappointed affection, mystery and con
spiracy. A marriage and a widowhood meet the
reader on the very threshold. We cannot com
mend the style as elevated, or the dialogue as be
traying skill, or the story—so far as we have
read, as revealing any high degree of ability. A
certain amount of judgment and good taste is
shown in the poetic quotations at the heads of
the chapters. It is interesting as a California
book, scarcely for anything else.

•
The order of Masons seems to have recovered
entirely from the effects of the Morgan abduc-
Lion and murder; 30 years ago, and they are
working with great, zeal and success to gather in
the young men of our communities. But a new
source of suspicion is now unfolding against
them, in the exceedingly close relations they
seem to hold to the President of the United
States. Investigations are being made in various
quarters, even in Canada, upon the extent of Mr.
Johnson's obligation, as a mason, towards other
masons among the rebels; as well as the obliga
tions of members of the Senate, who may be
masons, towards Mr. J., in case of the impeach
ment of the latter. In the appendix to this
pamphlet, various. Masonic oaths are given, ac
cording to one of which the juror binds himself
by seven kisses of the Bible to assist a brother
mason when_ in trouble, and to espouse his pause,
right or wrong. So disastrous to the repute and
success of Masonry_ must be the mere doubts of
the public on such an important matter, that we
wonder the Order can rest, for an hour, under
the unrebuked suspicion, if it be unfounded.
Mr. Adams' objections to Masonry are, of the . most
powerful and convincing sort. •
SUSY'S SACRIFICE. By the author of "Little Katie

try," " Nellie's Stumbling Block," and "The Gol
den Ladder Series." 12mo. 306 pp. Illustrated.
New York: It. Carter & Bros. Phila.: Presbyte
rian Publication Committee.
Suzy's ) Sacrifice was the giving up of a pet
horse ~ to be sold, and the proceeds to be applied
in providing a.bed in a hospital for a poor crip
pled boy. The.story is simply told and without
any particular narrative power, yet touchingly
illustrates the nature and working of true Chris
tian principle in the heart of a child. ,
WEIGHED IN . THE BALANCE. By the Author of the
" Win and Wear " Series. 12mo. 402 pp. Illus
trated. New York: R. Carter & Bros. Phila.:
Presbyterian Publication Committee.
Rather an, old book to be classed among " ju
veniles" as we, suppose it is intended to be, with
the rest of the series. It describes, with consid
erable variety and freshness of characters and
incident; the process by which a pretty play
thing, of
‘ a wife becomes an earnest efficient
Christian i reman. The )itory is 4ontrived with
much tact and delidaty, and is interesting andin-
Oructive to,older persons.
ROCKWELL. Tom Miller, or ; After Many Days.
By ,Mrs. M. E. Rockwell. Philadelphia: J. C.
• Garrigaea &co. 18mo.,- pp.. 351.
.A r wst. instructive, ana,entertaining story.
The wdling gobi in the'li*aa - rt Of a boy and
JtiVENILES
its final triumph after a long struggle with diffi
culty and temptation in manifold forns, and par
ticularly with the spirit of procrastinttion in the
boy himself is well described. The scenes are
.
laid partly in Philadelphia, partly in St. Louis,
and partly in a. prairie home in Illinois. The
design is to encourage pious parents in laboring
and hoping for the salvation of their children,
even under the most unpromising appearances.
WRIGHT.-14falcolm's Cottage and Malcolm's Friend.
By Mrs. J. McNair Wright. Author iof "Marion
through the Brush." "New York Netl," "Mabel
and Tura." 12mo. 320 pp. Philadelphia :James
S. Claxton.
A story written on a pretty high key, with a
plot of some intricacy and with startling devel
opments. There is unusual ability of style, and a
great variety of well-managed characters and the
interest of the story is never allowed to flag. Its
lessons-are in every respect pure and ,good, the
chief aim perhaps being to contrast the evils of
pettishness and obstinacy with the good results
of Christian affection and mutual helpfulness in
the family. The exterior is attractive.
Lean.—`lt isn't Right; or, Frank Johnson's. Reason.
The only complete American edition. :By Mrs.
Joseph Lamb, author of "How Charley helped
His Mother," etc. l2mo. 274 pp. Philadelphia :
James S. Claxton.
The story of two workingmen and 'their
lies, one of whom is a victim of intemperance
and passion, while the other avoids his comrade's
evil courses, and uses the simple phrase "It isn't
right" as an all sufficient reason for his decision.
The narrative powerfully illustrates the irnpor ,
tant principle that reformation from a solitary
vice is no guaranty for real advaieement in
character.
MARSHALL, Brothers and Sisters i or, True of
Heart. A Story of Home Life. By Emma Mar
shall, author of " Millicent Legh," "Little Mil
dred's Story," " Lost Lilies," "Brook Silvertone."
12m0., pp. 310. Philadelphia : J. P. Skelly &
Co.
An English family of seven sisters and three
brothers is presented in this volume ; at first dis
jointed and inharmonious, but as tht story pro
ceeds, becoming a field for the highest Christian
activity arid for every generous impulse. The
style is excellent, the incidenti dramatic and the
lessons of the very best.
THE Busca or GRAPES. By the author of " Little
Joe and His Strawberry Plant," " Noiinan Ada,"
"Donald's Hamper," " Way to be Happy," "Lit
tle Charlotte's Home." 16m0., pp. 86. Philadel
phia: J. P. Skelly & Co.
A pretty little story of domestic life in the
wars of king Charles and the Parliament.
OLIVER OPTIC.—The Starry Flag; or, The Young
Fisherman of Cape Ann. By Oliver Optic. Au
thor of " Young America Abroad," "The Army
and Navy Stories," "The Woodville Stories,"
"The Boat-Club Stories," "Riverdale Stories."
12mo. 312 pp. Boston: Lee & Shepard. Phila.:
G. W. Pitcher.
--One of those famous stories of Ojiyer Optic's,
giving us boy-life on an enlarged scale, of adven
ture and enterprise approaching to manhood, but
without manhood's heavy cares. Lessons of en
ergy, thrift and high honor, without any posi
tively religious element, are ably enforced. It is
the first of a series to be complete in six vol
umes, and we are sure every reader of the first
will look eagerly for the remaining five. The
illustrations are very good.
PARKER.—Jack of All Trades (Rosa Abbott Sto
ries.) By Mrs. Rosa Abbott Parker.l2mo. 230
pp. Published as above.
There is real genius and power• in this wild
story. Fragmentary and incoherent' as it ap
pears, the thread of the narrative >can be traced
and quite a little "Iliad in a nutshell" found in
its two hundred and twenty odd pages.. We can
not however recommend it as healthful reading
for the young.
BATTLES WORTII FIGIIT.T.I4G. 12m0., pp, 306. New
York : Robert Carter & Brothers. Philadelphia:
Presbyterian Publication Committee.
There are four independint stories in this book,
each designed to illustrate some paqi.oular con
flict, with sin or with difficulty in the path of
duty. The first describes the " Battle for a Meek
Spirit ;" the second " the Battle for Love;" the
third, for " a Good Name," and the fourth for " Pa
tience." They are stirring stories, full. of health
ful interest and calculated to do good.

THE FACTS AS TH
We began in 1861 to make IM
PROVEMENTS in the style and make of
Ready Made Clothing, and continued
to do so, introducing new styles and
ideas every year, so that the entire
character of the business is now vastly
better and totally different from the
systems of older houses.
Our first idea is to learn exactly
WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS, and,
instead of persuading him to buy
what may be most conveniently at
hand, we take the utmost pains to
meet His wishes.
Improved
What
Customers
Want.
The Building we occupy is the
MOST CONVENIENT, LARGEST AND
BEST ADAPTED for OUT btailie33 of
any in Philadelphia.
Customers can• SR& what they are'
baying, our Establishment being on
the corner of three large area!, (Mar
ket, Sixth and Minor streets), AEON
DENT LIGHT is afforded from all
directions. A light store is far better
for customers than a dark one..
Sine
31 x ISO feet,
8 stories.
140
Windows.
MERCHANTS KNOW that our sales
are larger than those of any other
house in .Phila., in our line . : hence
We have to buy larger quantities of
goods, and so get them at lower prices
especially ad we BUY ALTOGETHER
FOR, CASH. Buying cheapest, we
cox SELL CHEAPEST.
The
Large
Per
chases.
We closely Essainsu every inch of
goods that comes into our Establish
ment, invariably rejecting all imper
fect, motk-eaten and tender, fabrics.
•The time wasted in looking over
the stocks of a dozen stores, CAN BE
AVOIDED, for, under ONE ROOF, we
offer for sale an assortment equal in
variety and extent to that - embraced
by a score of the ordinary houses.
We have 600 hands employed in the
manufacture of . Clothing, who are
constantly making up, stock to take
the place of that daily sold: this
gives Our customers NEW AND FREER
goods to make selections from.
It is an undisputed fact that this
Department, (a large Hall on our
second floor fronting on Minor st.,)
has nothing in • Phiiada. to EQUAL
IT. We have here "concentrated :the
best - skill and workmanship and those
who prefer clothing made to order
really have advantages they do not
receive r o)llhere.
Outlaw,
Depart
went.
DEDUCTIONS.
From all of the above we deduce
this one fact, that Oak Hall has ALL
the advantages of any other Cloth
ing Establishmentin the city, and,
in addition, these:
A firm composed of young men of the present
generation, fully in sympathy with the tastes of
the day.
An insight into the WANTS or THE PEOPLE and
an ENTERPRISE to meet these wants, which in
seven years has placed Oak Hall in a position
not always attained in experience of twenty
five years.
A Building BETTER LOCATED, BETTER LIGHTED,
BETTER ADAPTED and newer in all its appoint-
•
ments.
4th.—Workmen, especially Cutters, who are not only
from among the best and most experienced, but
are artists in their professions, and couple with
good work a STYLISHNESS, in which Philadelphia
tailoring has been particularly deficient.
_ Wiz the liberal patronage with which we have
been favored that has enabled us -to offer the UNPAR
ALLELED ADVANTAGES, and this patronage continued
and extended will Mtn.rirr.r advantages, which we
divide between our customers and ourselves.
A visit to Oak Hall will PROVE every fact above
stated.
