6 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1869. LZTEUATTTZIZ!. REVIEW OF NEW B 0 0 K B. Clnxton, Rcmecu & IlAfrelnngcr tend ui the following of tbetr recent publication!: "The Memoir ot the Life of the Right Reverend Ocorge Burgcei, D. D.," li n compilation edited Mtd arranged by Rev. Alexander Burgess, D. D., tbe bod of the bishop. Bishop Burgess was a man of mark in the Episcopal CUnrch, and after Lis death there was a very general desire for a complete and comprchenHive memoir. The editor informs is that the task of ' preparing this wns undertaken by several persons, but it was relinquished for a variety of rcaBons, and that the volume before us is therefore the pro duct of a number of pens; the different contribu tion being linked together by Dr. Burgess, who las supplied various reminiscences of his father, with a large amount of interesting matter in the shape 'of extracts from eplstolatory cor respondence, sermons, journal or diary. Some of the most prominent clergymen of the Episco pal Church have. contributed lo the work, which is at once an interesting review cf the character And labors of Bishop Burgess, and a testimo nial of the esteem In which he was held by his brethren. "Wcstbrook Parsonage," by Harriet B. WcKcever, is a ecmi-rellgiotis story, which is de signed to counteract the ritualistic tendencies of a certain portion of the Episcopal Church at tbe present day. Miss McKcever is very much in earnest, and her story is arranged to set forth , lier views in a very positive manner. It will doubtless be read with interest by those who are excited on the subject of ritualism, and the pro babilities are that in a few months we will have half a score of novels in reply to it, and exhibit ing the bounties of the other side of the matter in controversy. "Twice Tried; or, The Three Influences," by Mrs. E. L. Courtney, is a religious Christmas ktory for young people. Messrs. Claxtcn, Kcrnsen & HalTelflngor also eend us "The Odes and Epodes of Horace," translated by Lord Lytton. Published by Har per & Brothers. This version of Horace is one of the literary sensations of tuo ecnson in Eng land. It gives the original and the translation on opposite pages, with ample notes and illustra tions. An introductory essay discusses the causes of Horace's popularity, and each ode is introduced with such explanatory remarks as will give the reader a proper understanding of its application. The translations are made in unrhyined metre, as nearly analogous to those of the original as the difference of the languages will permit. This work will undoubtedly give ordinary readers a better Idea of the peculiarities of Horace than any translation hitherto pub lished, and for students it will be a most valua ble auxiliary. The notes and illustrations show mature scholarship and nice critical discrimina tion; and in the management of his unrhymed metres Lord Lytton has displayed all the skill that raailo his "Lost Tales of Miletus" so popular. From the same house wo have received "Old Ilorse Gray and the Parish of Grumbleton," by Edward Hooper. Published by Hurd & Hough ton. This horte epic is dedicated to the "mer ciful philozoist, Henry Bergh," and although the subject is horsey, the moral is humanitarian. The verses are written in a pleasant vein of humor, and we find them more agreeable read ing than many others of greater pretensions. From Porter fc Coates we have received the following works .just Issued from their press: Fairy Tales for Little Folks" is a transla tion of the popular and very attractive stories of Madame la Comtcsse de Scgur. The book contains "Blondiue, Boune-Biche, and Beuu Minon," "Good Little Henry," "Princess Rosette," "The Little " Grey Mouse," and "Ourson." These stories are illustrated with designs by Griset, and unless the belief in fairies has begun to die out In the nursery, they will undoubtedly be appreciated by the important class of readers for whom they are particularly intended. "Under the Holly" is a Christmas book for girls. It is a pleasantly written narrative of the 6ayings and doings of a party of young people, the object of which Is to introduce a number of clever stories and verses on Christmas subjects. These are "The Trials of an Heiress:" "The Unknown Heroine, or the Martyr of Roche beaucour;" "The Christmas Visit;" "Charlie Gray;" "The Fate of the Leaves;" "Esther Rad nor, or the Indian Captive;" "The Child of the Camp;" and '-The Sisters; or, Mr. Mortimer's "Wards." "Little Rosie in the Country," by Margaret Hosmer, is the second volume of the "Little Rosie" scries of religious stories for children, in course of publication by Porter & Coates. "Puck" is the title of a new novel by "Ouida," just published by J. B. Llppincott & Co. "Puck" is not a fairy, but a dog, whose autobiography is here given in the peculiar vein that makes the writings of "Ouida" so attrac tive to some people and 60 unpleasant to others. "Puck" passes through a variety of adventures that give him unusual facilities for Investigating the high and low of London life. The story is Interesting, but it is occasionally painfull' over wrought, and the grim sort of humor that the writer affects at times is very far indeed from having anything of a comical effect. "Ouida" undoubtedly has power, but she has never yet been able to produce a work that was not dis figured by the most glaring absurdities of style. There is a certain class of readers, however, that like this, ad "Puck" will bo found just to thcir.taste. J. B. Llppincott it Co. also send us "Beuny," a Christmas ballad, by Annie Chambers Ketchum. Published by S. R. Welle. This Is a little poem that appeared originally in the Phre nological Journal, where it achieved such popularity as to induce its separate publication in holiday style. We sincerely think that "Benny" is a very poor specimen of a poein; but we do not care to interfere with the enjoyment of its admirers, so we merely state that it is printed on good paper and neatly bound as a holiday book. From T. B. Peterson it Brothers we have received "The Family Doom: or, The Sin of a Countess," an exciting new novel by Mrs. E. I). E. N. Southworth; and "New Receipts for Cook ing," by Miss Leslie, i new edition of a work ever popular with good housewives. From the American Sunday School Union we have received "Swept and Garnered" and "Kilty's Christmas Tree," a couple of religious stories suitable for Sunday School libraries. From the Historical Society of Pennsylva nia we have received a copy of the eloquent culogium on the Life and Character of lion.

All reverence is not dead yet in New York. Sometimes I think it is. Occasionally I come to the conclusion that the love of lucre has blotted out all respect for everything which the simple-minded and ingenuous hold sacred. . Trade is so rushing and conscienceless that it elbows reliquaries out of tho way, and don't leave re ligion even standing room. Churches have their domes and steeples decapitated, and ore trans formed into theatres; ancient meeting-houses are razed and supplanted by "palatial" stores; and rold quotations are posted where the Word of God was once dispensed. But there arc some exceptions to this rule. It was feared that the New York Stock Exchango was burning to occupy the ground at present held by old St. Paul's; but the New York Stock Exchange has come right side up with care in the matter, and St. Paul's will not yet "turn up its toes." Mr. Burke, a real estate broker, took it upon himself, a day or two ago, to inquire ostensibly on account of the Stock Exchange upon what terms tho corporation of Trinity Church would lease or sell the ground now occu pied by St. Paul's. This was a piece of gratui tous impertinence, inasmuch as the Stock Ex change had never given him authority to make such inquiries. The site is an enviable one, but as Mr. William 11. Nelson, President of tho Stock Exchange, remarks, that association has no intention of bargaining for the possession of n locality endeared by so many hallowed histori cal associations. Perhaps it is well to have so close such n silent' yet perpetual monitor as a graveyard in the very focus of the city's babblo, sending forth a spiritual breathing over the busy bustle of Vauity Fair. ilr. Ferhirr. Mr. Fechter, who some months ago was so ela borately pre-puffed by his friend, Mr. Dickens, in the columns of a New England magazine, will glvo his first performance in this country on the evening of Monday, January 10, 1870, at Niblo's Garden. I have never seen Mr. Fechter as yet, but I have seen his American prototype, Dan Symons, of the Olympic Theatre. People who have heard both Mr. Fechter and Mr. Sy mons' imitation of him swear that one is as good aB the other, and that, at any rate, the original is just as fine as the copy ! Mr. Symons gives a very strong Teutonic accent, and this Is said to bo a perfect reproduction of the German actor's principal deficiency. Mr. Fechter is going to be a fashionable success. His "Hamlet," at Niblo's, will anticipate by a few days, perhaps, that of Mr. Booth, great preparations for which have been making for some months past. ( lirlntmu Novcliicn. Among the Christmas gifts exposed for sale are no novelties with the exception of games. Even the toy kingdom is dull, invention having made scarcely a single stride in advance of those of last season. Among games, however, several new varieties have been introduced. Some of these are made subservient to useful purposes, on Victor Hugo's principle, I presume, that the beautiful is as useful as the useful. Geology, natural history, aud chronology are summarized therein, and the young idea is taught how to bring down something every time it shoots in sport. Among the newest, and those which, without being new, arc in vested with a new application, are brisque, silver cherries, ijnillc a Vanncau, and tho Ingleside games. Brisque is played with dice upon a board, upon which are described three dozen circles; men are places, and places are thrown for, and a spirited contest is supposed to ensue. Silver cbiracshaaatiugcof romance in it, and can be played either in-doors or out. It Is played on an octagon-shaped board, with tho enclosed spaces checked off by targets furnished with silver bells. The implements witn which it is conducted are counters, mallets, and balls, and the alternate position of the players deter mines the winners. Quille a Vanwau is the French title of a game which promises to come into vogue, aud which consists of a square board, covered with felt, aud stuck with nine fixed pins. Over these tho contestants, standing at a distance, eudeavor to threw metallic rings covered with india-rubber. The games known as the Ingleside games likewise promise to bo very popular. One of them is called tho Crown game, aud the contestants using a morocco board, on which forty-nine squares are appor tioned off, endeavor to enthrone their respective rivals to the title of majesty. Lotie, another of the games, is played upon the same board, but the central idea is different, and tho winning stroke consists cither In capturing your adver sary or In hemming him inescapably in. Pijx, the newest of all tho Inglesides, and tho one requiring the greatest intellectual strain, is played with dice, aud will be intensely affected by the few rather than popular with the many. Perhaps these few hint will be of some use to your readers who intend making Christinas gifts. The I.iiNt of i In- Fut Men. Very little of the lat men bus been seen since Meuduy night. The daucing and tho subsequent refreshments that were rendered ucccssary had a very wearing effect upon them. Their next public entertainment will be a elam-bako simi lar to that held last August in Connecticut. From this all reporters will bo rigorously ex cluded, as it is the object of these squabby Syba rites to enjoy themselves in a quiet way, and not to bo thrust upon tho public. Individually, the members of the club are fat; but collectively, tho subscription list is as yet thin, not number ing more than between one and two hundred. Ali Baha. ju sical ai imAJiAric.

Tho New York Clipper states that Miss Laura Keeue, and not, Colonel Fitzgerald, is the author of this drama. It is important that the real facts of the ease should be made known as soon as possible to avoid any confusion in history. on Christmas day and evening a dramatization of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" will bo produced witn a number of line scenic effects. At tub Walnit Miss llateroan will appear as 'Leah." This is the part In which miss llat.enian mane ner reputation, ami it is certainly better worthy of her attention than the one she has been nluylux i for the last three weeks. ' On Christmas there will be a matinee, when Tht Carptutero Jiouen and 2'hi XeriouH family will be neriurnied. j AT ihb Ahch BuckBtone's comedy of ilarrttdLte and the drama of The Srrn Clerks will be given this evmlnir.
