Lijipiucott & Co. A nect'.il and, we bolicvc, r reliable guide for mothers in the treatment of their rhilrlrcn Is afforded by Air. Parker. Ills profession as a physician has caused him to devote particular attention to the subject, and although we are not qualified to speak with authority on so per fectly maternal a subject, we nevertheless com mend the. woik, so fur as our judgment can decide. Married at Last. By Annie ThoraBS. T. B. Peterson & Brothers. The novel bclore us presents points of excel lence which strongly recommend it as superior to the great maiority of modern fictions. It is wiitten in Rood taste, and Its plot is sparkling and natural. It maintains its interest through ut, and is a fit opening of the fall campaign on the pait ol onr enterprising neighbors. LITERARY NOTES. Bull That art Sot Irish. J rem the Round 7 able. It is related that the secretary of an Enelish agricultural society received orders from its committee to procure several copies of Mr. and Mist Edgeworth's Essay on Irish Duhs, for the use of roemDers In their labors (or the improve ment of the breed of catile. Let no one reading the title of tins article laliinto a similar error regarding our intention. Neither shall wo con sider the bulls of the popes, unless it be that ei.e perpetrated by Pope Sextu?, who printed a Bible In the preface of which he excoramuni eated all printers who should aller the text, uud yet was himself obliged, on account of its nu merous blunders, to cause emendated scraps to be printed and pasted over erroneous passages. Charriler& Journal has recently published an article in which it is, assumed, as is almost always the case, that the bull Is necessarily indi genous to Irish soil. Wo propose to "submit, iacts" in correction of this common error. Nearly three thousand years ago in Greece, Hierocles noted oowii in the Asl.Ha many of the bulls which po the rounds of the newspapers nowadays attributed to Irishmen. lie tells, among others, ot the person who eat before a glass with closed eyes to see how he looked when asleep; of the one who, having to cross a river, entered the boat on horseback, giviner his reason tor riding tnat he was in a great hurry; of the one who declared, alter a nurrow escape from drowning, that he would never enter toe water again till be had lenmcd to swim ; of the man who, hearing that a raven would Jive two hundred years, bought one to try whether it was true ; of the one who, finding that half ot a cask of wine was pone, looked over the top to hud an opening and, being advised to look lor a hole in the bottom, replied "Blockhead, do you not see that the deficiency is at the top, and not at the bot tom ?" of the one who, meeting an acquaintance, said, "I heard you were dead," and, receiving the reply, "But yon see me alive," answered, "1 don't knew how that may be; you area noto rious liar, and my informer was a person of credit;'' aud of the one who, neglecting to pur chase books as a Iriend had requested in a letter, and fearing that he might be otl'ended, said to him when they next met, "My dear triend, I never got the letter you wrote me about the books." The philosophers have not been free from t)ulls. Pythagoras taught the doctrine of me tempsychosis, and yet stated that he had seen the souls of Homer, Hesiod, and others tor mented. Suetonius tells of a Brahmin philoso pher whose life had been eminently prosperous, and who burned himself at Athens to prevent a reverse of fortune. Amid a great concourse of people he entered the fire naked, anointed, and laughing. He desired that the following epitaph might be inscribed on his tomb: "Here rests Zarman-Ochagas, the Indian of Bargosa, who, according to'the custom of his country, made himself immortal." Mr. Holwell, who wrote a learned account of the doctrines of the Gentoos, is at great pains to solve the reason why the fishes were not drowucd in the deluge. Curious stories are told, too, of the priests. The monks of a monastery at Messina, it is related, pro claimed, once upon a time, that they had in their possession a letter written by the Virgin Mary. But the impostors had been so foolish as to write it on paper made ol rags, instead ot on the ancient papyrus, ns they easily might have done, and a person who came to see it observed that the letter, be sides being curious, also involved a miracle, for the paper on which it was written was not in existence till several hundred years after the mother of our Lord ascended into heaven. Peter Damian, describing the fate ot the anti pope, John, at the close of the tenth century, says he "bad his eyes bored out, his ears cut oil', his lonque cut out, and being then put on an ass with his face to the tall, which he held in his hand! was paraded about Rome and obliged to exclaim: "rfuch is the deserving punishment of him who endeavors to expel the Pope o? Kome jiuiii uis sent.- " The poets have ralso been found eruilty. A critical writer quoting from "Paradise Loot," JJDOK i "1'huB incorporeal spirits to smallest forms Reduced their shapes immense and were at large,'' asks, "If they were incorporeal, what occasion had they to reduce their shapes V In Addison's "Lato" occurs the following line: "60 the pure limpid stream whenu( with stains. Some one has noticed this couplet from Blackmcre's "Arthur:" "A painted vest Prince Vortigorn had on, Which from a naked Plot his grandsire won." Phillips, in his pastorals, mukes shepherdesses tear their hair and beat their breasts at their own deaths: "Ye brighter maids, faint emblems of my fair, With looks cast down and with dishevelled hair, In bitter anguish beat your breasts aud nieuu Iter dtatb untimely, as it were your own." Luclan makes Prometheus cite a Terse out of Homer, and Shakespeare placcto the scene of a Shipwreck on the coast ot isohcin a. There have been bulls, too, on canvas as well s on the printed pose. Burgoanne, in his "Travels iu bpaiu," notices a painting where ADranara is preparing to shoot Isaac wuu a T)istol: and in a country clnirch in (Jermmiv. the painter, representing the cacritice of Isaac, places a blunderbuss in Abraham's haad, and paints an angel coming down to pour water on tne pan. in uwen's travels is mentioned a pic ture In the Church of St. Zacharia. at Venice. where an angel is entertaining the Virgin Mary ana tne iniaiit jesus wuu an air on the violin tso m tne coueee nurary 01 Aberdeen there are elegant paintings on the mamiu of a Dutch missal representine the angels appearing to the shpphords, one ot the latter of whom is playing a bagpipe. Lewis Cigoli painted a picture of tne circumcision 01 jesus, ana arew the huh priest Simeon with spectacles on his nose, pro bnblv out of respect to his great aee. Spectacles were not known for fourteen cen turies otterwurds. N. Poussin'a picture, at the French Museum, of Iiebecca at the Well, has the whole background decorated with Grecian. architecture. Another at the French Museum. renresenting the reconciliation ol Jacob and Laban. has a steeple or belfry rising over the trees. A belfrv in the mountuino of Mcsodo- tamia in the time of Jacob 1 In a picture painted bv F. Chello deiia 1'uera, me blessed Virgin is placed on a velvet sofa playing with a cat and a paroquet, and about to help herself to coffee from an engraved cotfoe-pot. Sir Thomas Itrowne, in his ''Vulgar Errors," has written more than a page to disprove the possibility of Adam and Eve having navels, objection having been made to paintings by Raphael and Michael Angelo, and to the painting of Adam and Eve, by Mabuse, in St. James' Palace, in which they ure represented with navels. - fcir Bovle Roche mav. perhaps, be preperly railed and we hope this phrase will not be mis interpretedthe Father pf all Acd jet theie is an authentic record of a Frenchman, mirrcd Caiino, who died in Pan not many years ago, who was quite as remarkable as Sir Hojle tor a bovine teudency. There is a letter of his in existence, as follows: "My dear Iriend, I left my kniteatyour lodplripi yesterday; pray send -,t to n e if you should find it. Yours, Caiino. P. 8. Never mind sending the knile; I have found it." . . . , , , . ' There Is alfo a note to his wile, which he sent home with a basket of provisions, the postscript to whirh lead: "You will find my letter at the bottom of the basket. If, by chance, you chould fail to do po. let me know as soon aa possi ble.'' Caiino onco tried to get a certificate of delective sight from the enrgeon of a regi ment to which he belonged, to avoid some military duty. "I am so near-sighted," said he, "that I can't rce the stripes on the arm of that r-rrnnral over there." One winter day, a friend of Caiino, walking with him in the garden of the Tuilerics, said: "Caiino. I'll bet vou twenty franco that you don't walk across the frozen pond yonder on your bare feet." "Done," said Caiino, taking his shoes and stockings in his hand. But when he was half way across he turned around, saying it was too cold to go any further, and made the best of his way back, thus losing his bet, though he had gone the same distance as though he had walked all the way over. Of the same character was his action when be took a lighted taper to rind his way down a pair ot stairs without accident, and after gutting down brought it back with thanks, leaving himself at t lie top of the staiis in the daik, in precisely the same position from which he had started first. Calmo was once on an excursion where lodgings were scarce, and in looking about for a pillow found a large stone jar, en which he laid his head very contentedly. Soma one inquired of him if it was not rather hard. "Not at all,"said he, "for I've stutted it with hay." It was a wise saying of his that "Providence had placed death at the end of life in order to give p oplc time to prepare for it." One day a iriend took a knite from him in joke, and, say ing "thank you," put it in his pocket. "Come," said Caiino, "if you don't give me back that knile, I'll rip you up w ith it." Some stories are told, also, of the Abbe de Matignou which have been appropriated for the Irish. When the abbe was at the house of his uncle, the Bishop of Llsieux, he was shown the cathedral, and bis guide told him it was built by the English. "A hi" said he, with contempt, "I could easily tell it was not made here." Madame de Froulay asked him how old he was. "Why, I am only thirty-two," said he; "but I count myself thirty-three, because a little boy was born a year before I was, and died evi dently keeping me back a whole year by acci dent.5' When his sister-in-law had her first child he could not tell a friend its sex, "because," said he, "the child made such a noise that I posi tively am unable to say whether I am an jiunt or an uncle." That will do very well for the French; and Here are surely enough stories ot German blunders in speech to prove that our Teutonic friends possess in a peculiar degree the faculty supposed to be exclusively Irish. "Lnsht Friday night, next week vot ish pebint," said one, "vosh the vorst as nefer vash. 1 tough t I co town hill up to mine bouse, ven no sooner I valks den I stand still all de vaster, for de dark ness so tick I can't stir it mit my poots; an vcu I see mine hant right pelore mine lace, I can't tell its dere; an de' rain, dunder an blixen ! in more as tree minute mine skin viw vet troo to mine clos. Put alter von leetle vile it stop quittin' to rain Bomcting, so I keep feelin' my self all de vay long, an ven I comes to mine own house to valk in, vat youtink ? dunder an blixen. him belong to somepody else !" An Irishman could scarcely improve that. Whenever the paternity of a bull is uncertain an attempt is made to father it on some unfor tunate Emeralder. Yet it was a Scotch woman who said that the butcher of her town only killed half a beast at a time; it was a Dutchman who said a pig had no ear-marks except a short tail: and it was a British magistrate who. being told by a vagabond that he was not mar ried, responded "that's a good thing lor your wile." It was an English reporter wbo stated that at a meeting of the British Ethnological Society there were exhibited "casts ot the skull ot an individual at different periods of adult life, o show the changes produced in ten years," though Dean Swii't mentions two skulls pre served in Ireland, one of a person when he was a boy, and the other of the same person when he had grown to De a man. a reporter 01 tne Herald wrote in that paper some years ago, that a lecturer at the Academy of Music "practically illustrated the manner in which a fly walks on the ceiling." It was at a prayer meeting in New Hampshire that a worthy layman spoke of a poor boy whose father was a drunkard and whose mother was a widow; and it was at a negro ball that, in lieu of "Not transferable" on the tickets, a notice was posted over the door, "No gentleman admitted unices tie comes nisseir." it was an American lecturer wbo solemnly said one evening: "Parents, you may have children, or, it you nave not, your aaugnters may nave." And it was a Western editor who wrote: "A corres pondent asks whether the battle of Waterloo occurred before or after the commencement of the Christian era. We answer, it did." A Maine editor says a pumpkin in that State grew so large that eight men could stand around II; which statement was only equalled by that of the man wbo saw a flock of pigeons ny so low that he could shake a stick at them. Those two observing men, oivj of whom said he noticed that when he lived through the month of wayhe uvea through the year, and the other of whom said at a wedding that he had remarked that more women than men had been married that year, were neither of them Irishmen. When Sir Bovle Roche exclaimed. "I would give un halt nay, the whole of the Constitution to preserve the remainder." he onlv followed the analogy of that juvenile poem which states that "Three children all a sliding weat, 'Twas on a summer day; Tbe Ice was thin, they ail fell in, The rest they ran away." Lven John C. Calhoun once, in enforcine the theory that all men are not created euual. re marked that "only two men were created, and one Of these was a woman;" find PreMdent. Taylor's "all the world and the rest of mankind" is a household word. Dr. Russell, the well-known correspondent of the London Times, enters the ranks of novelists with a wort entitled "Dr. Brady." The last eue.-s about the author of "Enrn Homo" is that it Is from the pen of R. II. Hut- ton, a distinguished uujusu journalist. Dentu, the well-known Palais Koval editor. has piven i'20,000 lor the privilege ot publi-hiu" the catalogue ot the Great Exhibition. Mr; Sutherland Edwards' tirst novel.

There will not bo amours a la Pom padour and Du Barry, as most persons would piooaoiy expect.; uuu LiOuisav win oe some what diiferently represented than he is in the popular portraits. The Paris correspondent of the London Observer writes: " I bear that a orreat change Is to be made this year in gentlemen's dress, und that the chimney-pot hat, that has so lona; held its nlace amid the fluctuations of fashion. Is at last to succumb to the demand of the age." Mr. Soureeon has lust notified a member of his floe kit hat he discourages as much as possi- Die the practice or reiurmug tnanits to oou after childbirth by any of his congregation, since In most cases It is merely an absurd super stitious practice.
