5 LITERATURE. HlflVIlfiW Olf JN 1U W 1JOOIW. Our New Mngnzine. X? have received and read with nincere plea sure the initial number of LippincoWs Monthly, the new magazine which will commence its life with the new year. It Beems idle for na to wish it Buocess, as there seems ever reason for considering its popularity already achieved. Philadelphia has long since felt and acknow ledged the want of a first-class periodical. JJoston has hers, New York has hers, and Until the Quaker City supplied its deficiency She remained to a great extent dependent upon tor sister cities. As Ticknor & Fields are in Boston, and Harper & brothers in New York, so Ore J. L. Lippiucott & Co. in Philadelphia. It Was only natural that the people should look to the house which has bo long furnished us with standard literature for a standard maga zine. The house which has for years ranked among the foremost of all the great publishing houses of the country is amply fitted, by all the requirements of the case, to conduct just the sort of magazine we require. It has abun dant capital, excellent taste, and can com mand any amount of literary ability. With money, taste, and ability", it is the fault of the house if the magazine does not rank foremost of any iu the country. It comes to supply a want, and we hope our people will liberally patronize what is Just cause for local pride. The first number is excellent, is filled with excellent matter, printed on good paper, Issued n a neat cover, and gives us every promise of successful future. Titk Layman's Rrkviary. By Leopold Schef ler. Ttunslated by V. T. Brooks. Huston: Roberts Brothers. Philadelphia Agents: D. Ashniead and O. V. Pitcher. One of the most beautiful Christian works yet issued lies before us. It is bound in handsome cloth, with gilt edges, on fine paper and large clear type. While its dress is all that could be desired, at the same time its literary merits are equal to its beauty of publication. It is one of those carefully pre pared German work3 which reflect very Strong and sincere piety. It is the fruit of years of earnest meditation, every page speaking of thought. It is written in blank verse and is divided off, so that a portion can be read each day. In the translation much skill and judgment have been displayed, but at the same time quite a number of pas i sages are obscure. This is unavoidable con sidering the versification is retained and the idiom made to appear as little Anglicized by translation as possible. It will make a hand some, valuable, and really useful gift for the holidays. Messrs. Roberts deservo great "credit for the manner in which it is gotten up. Mt Prisons. By Silvio Pellico. Roberts Bro thers: Boston. Phllade phia Agents: D. Ash mead and (J. W. Pitcher. It is probable that few works have received a wider patronage, more general translation, j and been read with more interest and pleasure, f than Pellico's narrative of his Bufferings. It has been translated into almost all the tongues ""JEurope, and is universally admired. He A3 one of the band of secret associates for Aie liberation of Italy which existed towards the decline of the first Napoleon and during the Bourbon reign in Franoe. While endur ing suffering and privations, he penned his thoughts on life, religion, immorality, and gives us, at the same time, delightful accounts of his prisons, the adventures he met with, the sufferings and death of his compatriots, iu fact, everything which was well calculated to attract and merit the attention of the gene ral reader. The edition before us is filled with excellent illustrations, exceedingly hand, somely got up, with all the art additions not found in the decoration of the cheaper edi tions. ' The Children's Hook.

This is a little work for girls, the story being clearly and interestingly told, and the plot Is simple and effective. Penny Wire and 1'ousn Foolish. By Mrs. Cary Birch. J. a. Claxtou. An admirable child's narrative. Full of adventure, inculcating high moral truths, yet at the eame time not beiug Btupiil by reason of moralizing. Well fitted lor a Sunday School library.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, banded tricks which tho malcontent resort to cannot but keep the country in perpetual agita tion, and render the presence ol a large armed forco over a certain pioportion of tho kiugdoiu a disagreeable nocessity. The other great nrawback under which Great Britain is laboring at the present time is the expedition to Abyssinia. Our Government ex pends millions every year for the support of a largo army at home as well ns In our East Inula possessions. These colorles are garrisoned by a force twice as numerous as tho one employed in Europe; an J tho rest of the widely scattered Biitlsh possessions, and it is but fair to suppose that in any war to be carried on In that region, in uch parts of the globe as aro most accessi ble from India, the same nrcoy, or pait of it, should bo eniplovcd, without an additional call for men or money on the Homo Government. Nevertheless, such is the case, and the country will soon be burdened with an additional debt, arising from the enormous expenses connected with this expedition. That our Government is fully justified fu waging a war acainst a half pavage prince, who has the audacity of keeping some of our people In close confinement, witUV- out tho slightest provocation, and contrary to the law of nations, nobody will deny; and the ISritif-h arms may thus be ultimately destined to carry the blessing of civilization into a country hitherto known but to a small minority of Europeans. If so, the lives lost and the money spent in this cnterpiise may serve to a higher end than we can foresee at the present time; but if the expedition should cud dis astrously, nnd prove to be a failure, what would the consequences be? Another Insurrection In India is the almost inevitable result of such a calamity, and the Government, therefore, acts wisely In taking every i rccautioD, and in preparing themselves for any cmcipency to insure success to the enterprise in which the country is engaged. Tho peculiar relations of the native tribes of India to the British Government explain the above assertion. It is a fact well known to all those who have ever taken an Interest in Indian matters, and have watched the policy of tho British Governors of those remote colonics, that tho military and civil representatives of tbe Home Government, and those who are in charge of the immediate direction of internal matter in the Fast, aro, by no means, as well acquainted with the character of the natives as their posi tions render neccsary. The careful observer who has travelled in India will tell you that no sympathy whatever exists between the British and the native, from the prince and nabob down to the water carrier. The representatives of the Govern ment do not even make an effort to adapt them selves to the character of the aborigines, nor do they make due allowance for their tastes, habits, and deeply-rooted principle or independence from foreign rule. The relation is, therefore, with tbe xception of a few tribes, that of the conquercdjto the cotqueror; and any reverse to the British arms in Abjssinia, where more Indian than British troops have been sent, iroui tho fact of the former being used to the cli mate, would seriously affect the prestige of supe riority which tbe Biilh-h enjoy at present among the natives of India, aud raise the hopes of the latter for independence from British rule. Our Government is fully aware of this danger, and tho country has, therefore, reason to look with a jealous eye to what is at present going on in the noitheast part of Al.rica.
