"OHmpaes of Animated Nature," by J.W.
O'Neill, published by Charles Desllver, is a
gaily-bound and handsome Tolnme, with a
bright colored lithograph for a frontispiece,
and embellished with numerous wood engrav
ings. Descriptions are given of animals,
blrdp, fibhes, reptile, insects, etc., with
Bketche8 of their peouliar haWts and charac
teristics. The work has been compiled from
the writings of Ballon, Goldsmith, Biglaud,
Wood, Godwin, and other eminent souroes,
and the endeavor has been to present a great
variety of Information in a shape suited to the
capacity of all realrs. There are not many
boys who would not be delighted with such a
book as this for a Christum present.
From James K. Simon, No. 2! South
Fixth street, agent for Philadelphia, we have
received the second volume of the "Cyclo
pedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiasti
cal Literature, prepared by Kev. John MjCliu
took, D. D., and James Strong, D. D. Pub
lished by Harper & Brothers. This voluun
consists of WS page?, aui the subjects
treated commenue with "Cb" and eul
Vith "dysentery." Numerous Will
cuts serve to explain reference ti
Tarions matters of architeotur, c us tout, 1j
mest'o life, etc., and at the end a full list of
the articles is given. This cyclopedia when
completed will be one of the moat valuable
works of the kind ever published. Great care
has been taken to make it as perfect as possi
ble, and all the articles already written are
jevised de novo as the work goes through the
press, and the latest literature, in new bo-kj
as well as in the journals of all nations, is
consulted in this revision.
From Charles Desilver we have reoeivel
"Prayers for the Use of Families," selected
from various sources, and with a preliminary
essay, together with a selection of hymns
by Rev. Albert Barnos. This selection of
prayers and hymns is so well known that it
seeds no particular commendation. The pre
sent edition is handsomely bound, and a por
trait of llav. Albeit Barnes i3 given as a fron
tispiece. "The Boy at Bramley" and "Joanna
Darling; or, he Home at Breakwater," by
Virginia F. Tonsend, are two volumes of the
Breakwater series, published by Loring of
Boston. Miss Townsend is a favorite writer,
and she understands the art of weaving an
entertaining story. Her publishers have done
their part in good style, and we coinaieui
these bouks to those who wLh to give their
children reading that will ba entertaining as
well aa instructive.
"Onward"
is the title of a new magazine conducted by
Captain Mavne Bad, the first number of which
we have received from Turner Brothers Sf Co.,
No. fc08 Chesnut ritreot. Captain Ilell states
that it is his debire to make tLi3 a first-class,
high-toned magazine of original literature, and
embellished with attractive illustrations
printed on fine toned papar. Captain Rtsi 1,
who i3 well known as a popular writer for
the young, will contribute largely to it3 pages.
The contents of the January number are as
follows: "The Lost Sister," three chapters;
"The Maguey;" "O Sing Me the Song;"
"Chrietmas Day in a Dead Wood;" "I Think
cf Thee;" "A pashing Dragoon;" "A Journey
Underground;" "Christmas Kisses;" "A
Young Irish Diana;" "The Land of the
West;" "A Southern Journal," "The Yellow
Chief," a romance, five chapters; "Things
Worth Thinking of;" "Trifles;" Book, Re
views, etc.
The Lady's Fru tul, published by Deacon
& Teterson, commences its sixth volume with
the January number. A large colored fashion
plate, patterns for all kinds of fancy workt
and numerous illustrations, make this an
attractive number. The contents are varied
and interesting, and the conductors of the
magazine seem determined to make it even
wore popular than heretofore.
Superior Beings.
Every now and then one comes across the
path of a superior being a being that seems
to imagine itself made out of a different kind
of clay from that which forms the coarser
ruck of humanity, and whose presence crushes
us with a sense of our own inferiority, exaspe
rating or humiliating, according to the amount
uf natural pride bestowed upon us. The supe
rior being is of either sex, and of all denomi
nations; and its superiority comes from many
causes, being due sometimes to a wider grasp
of intellect, sometimes to a loftier standard of
Morals, sometimes to better birth or a longer
purse, and very often to the simple conoeit of
itself which simulates superiority, and believes
in its own apery. The chief characteristio of
the superior being is that exalted pity for
inferiority which springs from the conscious
ness of excellence. In fact, one of the main
elements of superiority consists in this sub
lime conEciousness of private exaltation, and
of the immense interval that separates it from
the grosser condition it surveys. Rivalry is
essentially angry and contentious, but con
fessed superiority can afford to be serene and
compassionate. The little people who live in
that meagre sphere of theirs, mental or social,
with which not one point of its own extended
circle comes in contact, are deserving of all
pity, and are below anything like active dis
pleasure. That they should be content with
such a me8gre sphere seems inconceivable to
the superior being, aa it contemplates its own
enlarged horizon with the complacency that
belongs to a dweller in vastness. Or it may
be that its own world is narrow; and its supe
riority will then be that it is high, safe, and
exclusive, while its pity will flow down for
those poor wayfarers who wander afield in
broad latitudes, and know nothing of the
pleasure found in reserved places. In any
case the region in which a superior being
dwells is better than the region in which any
other person dwells.
Take a superior being who haa made up a
private account with truth, and who has, in
his own mind at least, unlocked the gate of
the great mysteries of life, and got to the back
of that eternal cut bono forever confronting
ns. It does not in the least degree signify
bow the key is labelled; It may be High
Church or Low Churoh, Bwedenborglanlsm
or Positivism. The name haa nothing to do
. . with the thing; it if the contested, wtainty
of having unlocked the great gate at whliH
others are only hammeriog in vaia whioti
confers the superiority, and how the thing
has been done does not affect the result.
Neither does it disturb the equanimity of the
superior lelng when he meets with opposing
superior beings who have also made up their (
private account with truth, but in quite
another handwriting and with a different sum
total at the bottom of the page; who have also
unlocked the gate of the great mysteries, but
with a key of contradiotory words, while the
gate itself is ofArjother order of architecture
altogether. But then nothing ever does dis
turb the equanimity of the superior being; for,
as he is above all rivalry, so is he beyond all
teaching. Tin meeting of two superior beings
of hostile creeds is only like the meeting of the
two blind kings in the Mory, each claiming the
crown for his own, and both ignorant of the
very existence of a rival. It may be that the
superior being has . soared away into the cold
region of spiritual negation, whence he regards
the praying and praising multitudes who go
to church and believe in Providence aa grown
people regard children who Still believe in
ghosts and fairies. (r it may be that he has
plunged into the phosphorescent atmo
sphere of mysticism and an all-pervading
superstition; and then all who hold by scien
tific law, and who think the test of common
sense not absolutely valueless, are Sadduceea
who know nothing of the glorious liberty of
the light, but who prefer to live in d irkness,
and make themselves the agents of tho great
Lord of Lie?. Sometimes the superior being
gees in for the doctrine of love and impulse,
as against reancn or experience, holding the
physiologist and political economist as crea
tures absolutely devoid of feeling; aud some
times his superiority is shown in the applica
tion of the hardest material laws to the most
subtle and delicate manifestations of the mind.
But on which side soever he rauks himself
as a spiritualist to whom rea-on and matter
are stumbling-blocks and accursed, or as a
materialist denying the existence of spiritual
influences at all lie is equally secure of his
own superiority, aud serene in his own con
ceit. That there should be two Bides to any
question never seems to strike him; and that a
man of another creed should have as much
right as himself to a hearing aui con
sideration is the one hard saying impossible
for htm to receive. With a light aud airy
manner of playful contempt sometimes with
a heavy and Johnsonian scorn that keeps no
terms with an opponent the superior being
meets all your arguments or batters down all
your objections; someiimes, indeed, he will
not condescend even so far as this, but when
you express your adverse opinion just lifts up
hi3 eyebrows with a ood-humored kind of
surprise at yonr mental etate, but lets yon
see that he thinks you too hopeless, and him
self too superior, to waote poweVr and shot
upon you. It is of the nature of things that
there should be moles r.nd that there should
be eagles; so much the worse for the inole3,
who must be content to remain blind, not
seeing thiDgs patent to the nobler vision.
The superior being id sometimes a person
who is above all the p.-vssious and weaknesses
of oidinary men; a philosopher, or an ethe
rialized woman dwelling on serene Olym
pian heights which no clouds obscure, and
where no eavth-fogs rise. The passions which
shake the huuuiu soul, as tempests shake the
forest trees, and warp men's lives according
to the ruu of their own liue3, are uukuowu
to these Olympian poi;:ouagi's, aud they cau
not undei stand their power. Tbey look ou
these tempestuous souls with a curious ana
lytical fftze, according to the direction of the
agony through whiuh they pass, and wonder
why they cannot kuip as calm and quiet as
they themselves are. They sit fu scornful
judgment ou the mysterious impulses regu
lating human nature regulating and disturb
ing ard think how perfect all things would
be if only passions aud instincts were out oat
of the great plan, and men and women were
left to the dominion of pure reason.
But they do not take into their aocauut the
law of constitutional necessity, and they are
utterly unable to strike anything like a
balance between the good and evil wrought
both by the tempests of souls and by those of
nature. They only know that storuu are in
convenient, and that for themselves they have
no need for such convulsions to clear oil' fctag
naut humors, Lor are they made of elements
which kindle and explode at the contact of
such er 6uch materials. And if they kno
nothing of all this, why then should others f
If they can sit on Olympiau heights serene
above all passion, why should not the whole
world sit with them, aud fogs aud fires be
conditions unknown When this kind of
superior being is a woman, there is something
pretty in the sublime assumption of her
supremacy, and the sweeping range of her
condemnation. Sheltered from temptation aud
secure from danger, she looks out on life from
the serene heights of her safe plaoe, and
wonders how men can fail and woman fall be
fore the power of trials of which she knows
only the name. Her circulation
is languid and her temperament
phlegmatio, and therefore the burning desire
cf lite which sends the strong into danger,
perhaps into sin, is as much unknown to her
as is the fever ot the tropics to a Laplander
crouching in his snow-hut; but she judges
none the less positively because of her igno
rance, and, as she looks into your quivering
face, with her untroubled eyes, lets you see
plainly enough how she despises all the
human frailties under which you or yours
may have tripped and stumbled. Sometimes
she iebuko3 you loltily. Your soul is sore
with the consciousness of your sin, your heart
is weak with the pain of life; but the supe
rior being tells you that repentance cannot
undo the evil that has been done, and that to
feel pain is weak. The superiority which
seme women atsume over men is very odd.
It is like the grave rebuke of a child, not
knowing what it is that it rebukes. When
women take np their parable, and censure
men for the wild or evil things they do,
not understanding how or why it has come
about that they have done them, and knowing
as little of the inner causes as of the outer,
they are in the position of superior beings
talking unmitigated rubbish. To be sure, it is
very Bweet and innocent rubbish, and has a
lofty air abont it that redeems what else would
be mere presumption; but there is no more
? practical worth in what they say than there is
n the child's rebuke when its doll will not
stand upright on sawdust legs, or eat a crumb
of cake with its waxen lips. This is one reason
why women of the order of superior beings
have so little influence over meu; they
Judge without knowledge, and condemn
without insight. If they could thoroughly
fathom man's nature, so aa to
understand his difficulties, they
would then have moral power if their alms
were higher than his, their prinoiples more
lofty, their praotioe more pure. As it is, they
have next to none aud the very men who
mm to yield to them most go only so far as
to conceal what the superior being disap
proves of; they do not ohange because of her
greater weight of dooirine.
Men show themselves as superior beings to
women on another count, Intellectually, rather
than morally. While women rebuke men for
their sins, men snub women for their follies;
the one wields the spiritual, the other the in
tellectual, weapon of castigation, and both
bold, themselves superior, beyond (Ul popel-
bility of rivalry, according to the chanoe of
sex. The maxcullne view of a subject always
imposes itself on women as something unat
tainable by the feminine mind; and nine times
out of ten brings them to a due sense of their
own Inferiority, save in tho case of the supe
rior being, to whom of course the masculine
view counts for nothing against her own. Bat
even when women do not accept a man's
opinions, they instinctively recognize their
greater value, their greater breadth ant
strength. Perhaps they cry out against their
hardness, if he is a political economist and ther
are emotional; or against their lower morality
if he gees in for universal charity aud latituii
narianism, and they are enthusiasts with a
clearly-defined faith, and a belief in its infalli
bility. There are wide tracts of difference
between the two minds, not to be settled by
the ipse dixit of even a superior being; but in
general the superiority of the man makes
itself more felt than the superiority of tue
woman. While one talks the other acts, and
snubbing does more than condemnation.
