C. SCRIBNER & CO.
Con,nnt additions are announced to the al
read}' un e q ualled list of standard theological
wort? I ned by this firm, which not only does
saline in supplying wants, but which exer
eises the nobler function of awakening and de
veloping a taste and creating a demand by the
e nterprise with which it brings first-class books
before the community. Its recent efforts at sup
plying choice new theological works, in good
style, at low figures, are most praiseworthy. The
last of these cheap issues is STANLEY'S EASTERN
CH4RCH. It is printed from the same plates as
the more costly edition, the width of the margin
being reduced, and the weight of the paper
diminished; price 82.50.
Their new issues are : Tren‘h's STUDIES IN THE
GOSPELS, a small Bvo. of 326 pages, in which
some sixteen passages, involving more or less dif
ficulty (commencing with the Temptation) are
discussed with that candor, that ripe'scholarship,
and that wide range of classical, patristic, medim
val and. modern learning, which the writer
brings to bear upon all his Biblical studies, and
which he so devoutly uses for the furtherance of
the truth. They also issue, in two volumes,
THE LIFE OF REV. J. ADDISON ALEXANDER,
D. D., the distinguished preacher and Commenta
tor, one of the most studious, quiet and retired of
men, yet one nobly endowed, who, with his genial
and catholic.souled brother, James W., went all
too soon to heaven, in our imperfect human judg
ment.
One of the choice volumes on SCRIBNER &
CO.'S list, this season, is Wood's BIBLE ANI
MALS, by the author of " Homes Without Hands."
It treats, more fully than any late work known
• in
this country, of all the animals mentioned in
Scripture, being a complete cyclopedia of Scrip
ture Zoology; as well as, to some extent, an exe
getical treatise upon a mnititude of passages
where the animals are named, or their qualities
and habits are made a basis of comparison. The
value of the book is increased by the illustrations,
many of which occupy a full Bvo. page, and repre
sent the . object under some special circumstances
mentioned in Scripture; as the ostrich flying
from pursuers ; the war horse eager for the. bat
tle, &c. With few exceptions they are skilfully
and powerfully designed and drawn. The vol
time would make an excellent present for a Sab
bath School teacher. For sale by Smith, Eng
lish & Co. $5.
PUBLICATION COMMITTEE.
THE OHIO ARK, kV Mrs. Wright, author of
"Almost a Nun," is in
. a somewhat novel field,
the Ark and its contents reminding us somewhat
of Mr. Jaricy's Wax Work in "Little Nell." The
career of two orphan children of Cincinnati, un
der opposite moral influences, is described with
the well-known narrative skill of the writer.
The initial letters are also of her drawing. 18mo.
pp 267. THE CRAYTHORNS OF STONY HOLLOW
is a Temperance Story, by Mrs. Hildeburn, in
which the effective lesstons taught are, not marred
by the extravagance or offensiveness of the mode,
and in which the power of grace is shown to be
the only sure defense against vicious propensities.

AN. TRACT SOCIETY.
CHRISTUB CONSOLATOR is the title of a com
pilation of Hymns for the Suffering and Sorrow
jag, by Rev. Dr. A. C. Thompson, of Boston, who
has had experience in this line of work. The
hymns are mostly from sources not familiar; as
Neale's and Winkworth's versions; Gill, Mat
thew Arnold, Trench, Alford, Anna Shipton,
&c., besides Miss Procter, Bonar, Lyte, Beble,
the Wesleys, and other well-known authors.
There are indexes of subjects and first lines, but
none of authors' names. Handsomely printed.
12mo. pp. 360. $1.50. American Tract Society,
1408 Chestnut Street.
ROSE AND HER . PETS is a capital little book
for beginners; no word over five letters long,
and good, sensible stories of cat, dog, bird and
little girls, with well-drawn illustrations in bright
colors—there could scarcely be a better present
for a six-year-old than that. American Tract
Society, 1408 Chestnut St. Cult FATHER is a
brief exposition of the Lord's Prayer, illustrated
with narratives and incidents from child• life, and
with good cuts. 18mo. 64 pp. 35 cents. THE
CHILD'S HISTORY OF THE FALL OF JERIFSA
ram, by Mrs. lls,llock, opens to children one of
the darkest pages in the records of time. The
style is clear and unambitious; the illustrations
are finely executed and instructive.
HARPER & BROS•
Rev. Lyman Abbott, author of " Jesus of Naz
areth," issues in elegant square octavo, holiday
style, OLD TESTAMENT SHADOWS OF NEW Trs-
Taat'ENT TRUTHS. A dozen or more prominent
incidents are treated in the style of picturesque
narrative, now such a coveted quality in the
pulpit and in religious literature, which the wri
ter possesses in a high degree, and the relation of
the fact to some evangelical truth, of importance
is then ingeniously developed and urged upon
the reader's attention. The views advanced are
for the most part, sound; the gospel is preached
effectively, as well as with the grace and charm
of a good style and the skilful handling of living
examples. An occasional bit of ,extravagance,

but the earnest, practical spirit of the gospel
sways the whole. pp. 213. $3.50. About one
third of the illustrations are very fine; the rest
will barely pass. For sale by Lippincott & Co.
Lord Lytton's fine edition of the ODES AND
EPODES OF HORACE, both in Latin and in his
own metrical translation, will be acceptable to all
scholars. The translation is executed with great
fidelity both as to metrical form, letter and spirit.
We doubt whether the elegant and yet common
sense Latin poet ever was brought so close home
to the apprehension of the unclassical English
man. Full introductions and frequent notes give
such a reader all he needed to know, in order to
an intelligent acquaintance with the author.

THE AMERICAN S. S. UNION have issued for
the little ones BREAD FROM GOD, illustrating by
colored pictures the process of bread-making,
from the sowing of the seed to the thankful re
ceiving of the bread. at table. There, is a lack of
artistic grace in the drawings, but, on the whole,
the work is well done. MABEL, OR THE BITTER
ROOT, is a moving and even powerful story of the
days of the witchcraft_ excitement under King
James I. of England, when school-children shared
in the movement, and were led.. by their little
jealousies into similar evil courses toward each

BAY LEAVES and other Poems, by Gilbert

fluency of language, ease of versification, popular
themes treated in simple style, but the light, the

LITERARY ITEMS.
—The Archbishop of York in a recent speech,
said : " Let me tell you the story of the little
book which I hold in my hand. It is a copy of
the New Testament, but on the title-page is
written Vol. 1,000.' The reason of that is
that there is a great publisher in Germany, who
has printed for the use of English people living
abroad, and for the Americans, almost all 'the
English classics, and when he had come to the
999th volume of his great series he said to
himself, I will present to the English people,
in gratitude for the patronage they have-given to
me, the present they love the most : I will give
them a copy of the New Testament, printed
with, the utmost care, and sold at a price which
cannot remunerate me.' But the point of, my
story is this—:that the book which was published
two or three months ago, has been so much ap
preciated on account of one peculiar feature 'in
it, that the public, instead of receiving it as a
present, paid for it as a matter of business. The
book, instead of selling 8,000 or 10,000, has
sold now some 30,000 copies; and the publisher,
in spite of himself, has been enriched thereby.
And what does this mean ? Why, it means that
there is an almost passionate avidity among our
people to read and study the word of God. The
peculiar feature in this volume is that besides
the actual text of the New Testament, there are
two or three lines at the foot of the page, which
show the variations of the three greatest manu
scripts ever discovered. You may perhaps wish
that there was no such thing as a variation
talked of ; but no volume will do more than this
will do to confirm our confidence in the text of
the New Testament as we have it, because al
though there are variations, yet we have, on the
one hand, manuscript authority for the New
Testament, such as exists in no other ancient
work whatever, and because on the other hand
these variations, such as they are, affect no' doe
trine, but leave the substance of the blessed
New Testament to us entirely intact."
A writer in the London Court Journal says that
Mr. Watts, of the National Library, possessed
a most remarkable memory.. He could instantly
point out the press and shelf of probably more
than 10,000 works. He liked to meet Ameri
cans, and always prided himself on knowing
something of the personal history of every pro-
minent one who came to see him. The present\
writer well remembers two attempts to test this
faculty. One day, without any notice he took
a friend into, Mr. Watts' recess , and said abrupt
ly, " Mr. Watts, let me introduce to you Pro
fessor Silliman, of Yale College!' " Oh," said
he, rising, and
,cordially extending his hand,
" how very fortunate, Dr. Benjamin Silliman,
that you should appear here of all the places in
the world, just fifty years since your first visit,
when in your Travels you wrote a most interest
ing account of our library. Come, let us go and
see your rare little book, and at the same time
I will show you the library, and afford you the
opportunity of writing another account, show
ing our half-century's progress"—and he walked
off the Professor to a remote part of the library,
and laid his hand on the volume, as if it had
been one for his daily reading. A similar readi
ness delighted and astonished Hon. G. P. Marsh
with respect to his little privately-printed Ice
landic grammar.
An announcement just made by the publish
ers of Every Saturday must be placed among
the important literary news of the, coming Tear.
The paper is to be illustrated and completely
changed in form, adopting the general style and
size of Harper's Weekly, without, however,
altering the character of its literary contents.
Messrs. Fields, Osgood & Co., promise to make
it, "the handsomest illustrated paper in America,"
The illustrations are to be engraved from designs
by leadin g European artists, including Faed,
Frith, Sir Francis Grant, Charles Keene, Leigh
ton, Marcus Stone, Du Maurier, and Harrison
Weir; and they are, to embrace views of famous
places, incidents of life and travel, portraits of
living celebrities, and copies of celebrated paint

—The London Missionary Society has been
revising, its whole work, with such points in
view as the following : 1. Withdrawal of Eng
lish missionaries from the charge of native
churches and Christianized communities. 2.
Bringing out the principle of self-support among
native converts. 3. Re-apportionment of funds,
according to more definite information on the
wants and importance of the fields. 4. Consoli.
dation of missions and careful arrangement of
missionary brethren into committees to aid in
planning particulars of the Society's missionary
policy. Men and means are thus economized,
and a forward movement has commenced over
the whole field reached by the Society. The
mission to Mongolia, near the Siberian edge of
the Tartar desert; broken up by the Russian
Government will be re-commenced from the Chi
nese side. New missions in ; the New Hebrides,
with a force of 30 native Evangelists, are con
templated; reinforcements will go to Central
Africa; numerous additional buildings will be
erected in connection with the missions in India
and China, but especially does the work in Mad
agascar receive attention. Five ordained mis
sionaries will proceed to the island early in the
coming summer, with one, if not two, medical
missionaries. The Betsileo province has long
waited for help, and it is proposed to place, if
possible, four ordained missionaries and one
medical man amongst its important and populous
towns.
—The Scottish U. P. Forei g n Board is taking
hold of the work in Spain. Cadiz will be the
new centre of operations.
—Twenty-two new laborers have been sent out
by the Presbyterian Board since May.—Native
females, graduates of the Normal School of the
Presbyterian Board in the Furrukhabad mission,
have, after considerable opposition, arising from
native prejudiv, been put in charge or two of
the Zenana schWols, and are reported as doing
well.—The Christian Work of December, re
ports that the Medical Mission in Bombay has
started a training-class for the instruction of na
tive youths, who might afterwards go forth
among their countrymen as medical agents or
catechists. These youths, four in number, and
all decidedly pious, have made steady progress in
anatomy, chemistry, and materia medics, and
were about to commence their second session on
the Ist of November. One of them is main
tained by the Free Church Mission in Poo.
na ; one by the Church Missionary Society, and
two are wards of the Medical Mission
—The Shantung Mission of the Presbyterian
Board is undergoing sore trials. Not only are
threats of fines and expulsion from the family
elan made against natives favoring Christianity,
but a native laborer in Chow Yuen, named
Meaon, and the lessee of the chapel in which he
labored have been cruelly beaten and imprisoned.
Meaon received four hundred and fifty stripes,
one hundred on his face, was compelled, bruised
and bleeding to walk forty miles, and was thrown
into prison, from which the missionary in vain
has sought to rescue him. He witnessed a most
noble confession. Rev. C. W. Mateer, in view
of these troubles, writes, Aug 30 : " The pros
pect for the peaceful prosecution of our work is
on all sides dark."
—A Sixth Church has been organized
in Brazil by the Presbytery of Rio, in the field
of the Presbyterian Board. Sorocaba is the
new position, a town sixty miles S. W. of
Rio. I t is a point of great importance as a mis
sionary station. A fair is annually held there at
which many thousands of horses and mules,
brought up from the Southern provinces, are
sold to go North. And there is a wide-awake
tone to society not found in most parts of the in
terior. It is also the centre of one of the most
flourishing cotton-growing regions of the country.
—Rev. W. Shoolbred of the Scottish U. P.
mission has been traveling in the N. W. of In
dia, and describes the inc.dents of a visit to the
Rajah of Bhondee and a remarkable discussion
held with him upon the claims of Christianity.
The Rajah, he says, is no common man. He is,
indeed, in some respects the most extraordinary
man whom I met in India. So gravely and
yet sweetly courteous, so fair in argument, so
tolerant of adverse opinion, so ready to acknowl
edge the truth, so open to conviction, and yet
firm in maintainin g his own opinions till
con
vinced of his error. Such a man is not far
from the kingdom of God. Of part of the dis
cussion, he gives the following account was,
of course, asked to explain the origin of evil. I
gave them the illustration of a mechanic's work
seen by a child while yet unfinished—the child
thinks it all a mistake and a muddle. " So, Ma
harajah, you and I look, on God's yet unfinished
work of creation, seeing evil still rampant, we
fancy it all an embroglio and mistake. But the
day, is comini when God's creative work shall be
finished, when in pure and perfected spirits the
Father of spirits shall find the crown of His
creation, and the temple into which, with all his
love and glory, He can enter and where He can
forever dwell. You and I, and all of us; as I
hope, being there as living stones in that glori
ous temple, shall see eye to eye, and be 'able to
sing without one discord the song, ' Great and
marvellous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty ;
just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints.'
That was a view which their narrow cosmogonies
had never. pictured to them, which had never
presented itself to ,their imaginations even in
their wildest dreams. It flashed upon them as a
revelation of harmony and love. Maharajah's
so sad and wan face—poor fellow !—flashed into
the radiance of a sudden joy, and a courtier
grinning from ear to ear, and unable to restrain
his joy, actually clapped his hands •
—The late General Assembly of the former
0. S. branch' adopted a plan which, as carried
out by. Presbyteries, is nearly equivalent to an
assessment, of the amounts needed for benevolent
causes upon the churches. The Foreign Mission
ary, organ of this branch, is not satisfied
with the results likely to be attained, .It says :
From some symptoms and utterances we are
afraid that certain churches will be satisfied with
the amount specified by the Presbytery, though
they may fall short of their former contributions.
If any thus act that have done and are capable
of doing more, then the plan will be to such an
evil. While the Board and the Genera' Assem
bly may by certain utterances seek to guide the
whole church as to duty, no individual member
or congregation is responsible to these, but to the
Great Head of the ChUrch.

HORTICULTURAL DEPART M ENI,
To keep pace with the growing interest in practical Iforticul
tnre,-and to comply with frequent appeals from all parts of the
country for information of a practical character on the subject, we
have engaged the services of a person who is experience* in rural
affairs to write in a lucid style a series of articles on the Manage
ment of Small Farms, Fruit and Vegetable Culture, and how to
make them pay, giving general and specific directions from plant
ing to the ultimate disposal,of the crops.,
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.:
To make THE TRIBUNE still sore valuable to its agricultural
readers, we have engaged Prof. JAMES LAW, Veterinary durg'ou iu
Cornell University, to answer questions concerning diseases of
Cattle Horace, Sheep, and other domestic animals, and to prescribe
remedies. Answers and premriptions will be given only through
the columns of THIS TRIBUNE. We are sure that this new fea
ture in THE TRIBUNE will add largely to its readers, as all own
ers of animals are liable to need the information proaered. In
quiries should be made as brief as possible, that the questions
answers, and prescriptions may be published together.
It has been well observed that a careful reading and study of
the'Fartners' Club Reports in THE TRIBUNE, alone wilt save a
termer hundreds of dollars in his crop. In addition to these re
ports, we shall cont nue to print the best things written on the
subject of agriculture by American and foreign writers, and shall
inert ass these features from year to year. As it is, no prudent
farmer can do without it. As a lesson to hie workmen alone, eve y
farmer should place THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE upon his table
every Saturday evening.
THE TRIBUNE is strong, by reason of its enormous circidation and
great cheapness. It has long been conceded that THE WEEKLY
TRIBUNE has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the
cunt try. For years we have printed twice as many papers, per
haps, as all of the other weekly editions of the city dailies coin
bieed.llehis is why we are enabled to do our woi k so tuoroughly
and cheaply. The larger our circulation, the better paper we can
make.
