DEUS•SEMPEn, by the Author of "'Snout- Dxus," is a strange ,book, with much that, like " the peace of God, passeth all understanding." It is a discussion of the questions of .ontology (or the science of being). from a Theistic and Chris tian point of view, and touches on , a multitude of scientific, metaphysical and religious topics. We; cannot think the author's style., and vocabulary happily chosen,luor is our estimate of hiajudg ment increased by.finding that the closing chap- • tors are a serious discussion of the mock mysteries of Odd Fellowship.
