Stern winter flashed Its frozen bars
Across the fiery belt of Mars;
Th mntfnt iin brow wa crowned with light,
Tne valley robed In spotless white;
Culm Justlco, bendini? from the sky,
Looked o'er the battlements on high,
Her (mining balance downward nun'.
All solemnly and still it swunr
To weigh the deeds of shame nnd worth,
At that hour passing on the earth;
On one side was a nation's b.in,
The other held the poor riegun.
Great was the power, wealth, and pride
Tiled mountain hlc;h upon one side,
The prowess and the strength of years,
Thy ttiumph over doubU aud fear.-;
The compicst, sometimes gained o'er wrons,
With Freedom's name to make them strong;
The other side held want, distress,
The children of tho wilderness,
Feeble and falni,, In numbers few,
The wintry winds could pierce them through,
A nation's army Sheridan
Against the outlawed, poor Picgan.
On one side glittering steel and fire,
To do tho work of death so dire;
Steeds prancing, banners waving high,
Strong men to conquest drawing nigh,
Such victory as might could gain,
With none their weapons to restrain;
The other but a few souls brave,
Who fought their helpless ones to nave,
Women and babes, shrieking, awoke
To perish 'mid tho battle smoke,
Murdered, or turned out there to die
Beneath tho stern, grey, wintry sky;
Here, a great Christian warrior's plan,
There, l'ity, and the poor lMcgau.
Far o'er the seas, Columbia's bauds
Uplift the fallen of all lauds;
To Irelaud's stricken sons, her voieo .
Speaks, bidding them awake, rejoice;
From England's pride and wealth of state,
She bids tiie pupcrcd million wait;
Wakes from her dismal, dreary trance,
The sleeping liberty of r ranee;
Salutes across the golden tea
Brave Garibaldi's Italy;
Heads everywhere for rights of man,
Why net fur her own poor I'iegau ?
The summer field of llo.vory Spain
Give promls-j of bright Freedom's grain;
Far to the distant Orient
A Hash of fl-.-ry thought is sent,
The dark Mongolian i.-t stirred
With every potent, piercing word;
To all the races 'ueath tho sun
8he welcome gives; even tho one,
So lately bound to shamo and toil,
Enslaved, enfranchised on fcer soil;
For whom her own fair sons were 6laiu,
To waeb away foul slavery's stain;
Oh, In this eplenSU, lcrfu?t plan,
There is a place for th' poor I'ieg'atl.
Justice still bends above the earth,
To mark the deeds of shame or worth;
Each in the balance shall be tried;
Oh, not upon the nation's side
Of shame, let us our tribute lay,
But on tho side of truth, alway;
Remember, Whatso'er is done
Unto the feeblest little one,"
The loving Master once hath said,
."That do je unto BJO instead;"
I look, behold the Son of Man
Bears in his arms the poor fiegan.

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
UlRTOBY OF THE AmEKICAN CrVIL WAR. By
John William Draper, M. D., LL.D.
Volnme III. Published by Harper & Bro
thers. Philadelphia agents: Claxton, Bom
Ben & Haffelnnger.
This is the concluding volume of Dr.
Draper's great work on the war for the sup
pression of the Rebellion, and it takes up the
fctory of the conflict where the last volume
ended, at the Emancipation Proclamation of
President Lincoln, and brings it down to the
surrender of Lee and Johnston, the capture of
Jeff. Davis, and the disbanding of the armies.
It cannot be expected at a period so near
the great events themselves, that a thoroughly
impartial and satisfactory history of the great
American civil war can be written, although
the facilities now offered for obtaining infor
mation are such as will perhaps more than
compensate for the absolutely judicial spirit
in which the historian of the future is ex
pected to write. Dr. Diaper is entitled to
credit, however, for having evidently en
deavored to divest his mind of all passion and
prejudice, and to record the events of the
war, with their causes and effects, with the
pen of a philosopher rather than as a partisan,
lie has produced a really great work that is
a monument of patient and thorough investi
gation of facts, aud that will give a better
idea of the great conflict in all its bearings
than any publication on the subject that bos
yet been put before the public. For this
generation at least this wall be considered as
the standard history of the American civil
war, and for the accuracy of its facts, at
least, it is not likely to be challenged either
at the North or the South. The period of
the war recordod in tho volume be
fore us was one of great interest. It
was then that we perfected the
organization of our armies, retrieved tho
numberless disasters of tho early stage of the
conflict, and finally achieved the results for
which we were fightiug. Tho description of
the various battles and campaigns given by
Dr. Draper are based as far as possible upon
the reports of tho commanding officers on
both bides, compared with the reports of de
tails made by subordinates. In every case
the language of the chief actors is retained
as far as possible, and the effort of the author
Las been to obtain absolute accuracy so far as
it was in his power to do so. In two conclud
ing chapters a retrospect of the war is made,
and the prospects of the future are discussed.
The work is made complete by a very full
index. The style of Dr. Draper is eleg.mt
and graphic, and we commend this List jry to
cur readers, as well for its value as a record
of great events as for its interest as a nar
rative. From the same house we have received
"The EIohonsteinB," a novel, by Friodrich
Fpielhagen, translated by Professor Scheie
de Vere, and published by Leypoldt &, Holt.
This 1b a story of German life, and it ii dis
tinguished by that peculiar descriptive power
and philosophical insight into character that
have made the writings of Spielhagcn to be so
highly esteemed by thoughtful readers. Those
who have lingered over the pages of "Proble
matic Characters," and its sequel, "Through
Night to Light," will welcome this equally
gTeat although very different work by the
same author.
Porter & Coates send us "Proverbs, Ec
elesiastes, and the Song of Solomon," with
notes critical and explanatory, by llev. Henry
Cowles, D. D. This work, like that on the
Old Testament prophets by the same author,
is designed as an aid both to pastors and
people in the study of tho Bible. The general
plan is an excellent one, and the book cannot
fail to be of great practical utility. We think,
however, that Dr. Cowlos has ruada a great
mistake in referring to "Tho Song of Solo
mon." Grave doubts are entertained, and
have always been entertainod, by learned theo
logians as to the propriety of including this
erotic poem in the sacred canon, and Dr.
Adam Clark gives an excollent piece of advice
when he recommends ministers an-i teachers
to let it alone, especially as the other and
assuredly authentic portions of tho Scripture
contain all that is necessary for the full expo
sition of the doctrines of roligion as received
by the Jewish an 1 Christian Churches. Dr.
Cowlos has evidently 'been greatly embar
rassed in his endeavors to interpret "The
Song of Solomon," aud in our opinion ho is
very fnr from giving a satisfactory solution of
its difficulties. Tho reasoning of theologians
is not os other men's, aud it is sufficient to
say that, although tho loio of Dr. Cosvles
may bo accepted in ecclesiastical circles as
applied to this difficult subject, it would not
stand for an instant if tested by lay rule?.
We regret that nny reforeuca was undo to
"Th o Song of Solomon-' in tin) work before
uh, becnuso wo think that ;;ne!i reference will
iuip;i;r Ihc influence of it book that is calcu
luted to do much good and to aid materially
in ( !:roina;;iiig a study of the Scriptures.
I'voni J. Feninglon A Son, No. 1L'7 S.
Sevonth street, wo liavo received a handsome
ijUi:rio volume, edited by Alexander Dcrcourt,
of tl.e Congressional printing oi'due, giving
in the origimd French soma of the most im
portant and interesting portions of L;vb ir
tiue's "Ilistoire do hi Involution Franchise."
The rubjects of tho extracts are "Louis XVI,"
"CLnrlotte Cordny," "ALuie Antoinette,"
"I.es Girondins," "Les Girondins Fngatifs,"
nnd "Madame Elisabeth." The book is hand
somely printed, nnd it will bo found exceed
ingly useful to Freuch students who are un
til le to obtain ftCCO'iS to Lamnrtine's complote
work.
From T. B. Peterson & Brothers wo have
received "Tho Lost Daughter" aud other
stories by Mrs. Caroline Leo Ileutz. This is
the eleventh volume of the complete edition
of J'rs. Ileutz's novels now in course of pub
lication. Of this edition there is one volume
still to be issued.
From Robert Wallin, No. 310 North
Twelfth street, we have received "Exeter
Hall, a Theological Romance," published by
the American News Company. This work is
described on the cover as "a wonderful
book," "the most startling and interesting
book of the day," all of which may be very
well as an advertisement, but the porusal of a
very few chapters will probably convince
most readers, as it has us, that "Exeter
Hall" is very poor trash indeed.
The April number of The American
Architect and liuildcrit' Monthly shows im
provement, and we commend it to the favor
able notice of designs of the profession for
whose benefit it is specially designed. The
lithographic plates are handsome, the most
noticeable being those for the new Baptist
church now being erected at the corner of
Broad and Spruce streets and for the new
Masonic nail in New York. Published by
Lightfoot & Fleu.
The March number of the Journal of the
Franldin Institute, edited by Professor Henry
Morton, Ph. D., has as usual an interesting
series of articles on practical and scientific
subjects.
From the Sunday School Union we have
received "Christiana Hatherley's Girlhood;"
"Mibtress Margery," aud the "Crumbling
Path," all of which are suitable for Sunday
School libraries.
From the Central News Company we
have ruccivod the latest numbers of Punch
and Fun.
Turner & Co. send us A ppletou'n Jour
nal and Our J'ras and Girls for April 10
and the Iransatlantic for Apiil 11).
The Graphic gives, apropos of Mr,
Dickens' new story, a column of rominiseoncos
of the first appearance of "The Pickwick
Papers," from which we quote the most inte
resting portions. "We came the other day
across tho original announcement of 'Pick
wick' in the form of an advertisement in a
daily journal. It promises that on the :51st
of March, 18,10, 'will be published, to bo
continued monthly, the first number of the
'Tosthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club,"
containing a faithful record of the poram-
I bulations, perils, adventures, and sport
ing transactions of the corresponding mm
, bers, edited by Boz; each monthly part
; embellished with four illustrations, by
Seymour.' The 'Pickwick Papers, it must be
remembered, were in their origin regarded
by the publishers not so much as letter-press
with illustrations as illustrations with letter
press. There was in those days a curious
rage for the humor of cockney sportsmen and
cockneyism in general. The publio were
supposed to be never tired of pictures of the
city gentlemen shooting at sparrows on
, hedges and poultry in farm-yard hencoops
and as this sort of thing undoubtedly paid,
the enterpribiog publishers projected
monthly nt rial in which the literary matter
should furnish a monthly pretext for
four plates of that kind. The pub
lio were facetiously informed that
'the Tickwick Papers, the Tickwick Diary,
the Tickwick Correspondence, in short the
whole of the Pickwick Tapers, had been pur
er, ased from the patriotic secretary at an im
mense expense, and placed in the hands of
Boz, the author of "Sketches of Everyday
Life and Everyday Teople," a gentleman
whom the publishers consider highly quali
fied for the task of arranging these important
documents and placing them before the
public in an attractive form, and who
is at present deeply immersed in his
arduous labors."' We know how
speedily Dickens got rid of all this cum
brous machinery of a cockney club, which
after the first chapter receives only once or
twice a bare mention. It was during the
progress of "Tickwick" that be undertook
the editorship of Dcntley's Miscellany, and
wrote "Oliver Twist," which appeared serially
in thot periodical. "Tickwick"' and 'Oliver
Twist,'" continues The Graphic, "in fact
were written together, month by month, nei
ther work being at any time, wo believo, one
day ahead of the printer's domand for manu
script, a fact which is, in itself, of some in
terest in literary history. Pickwick's monthly
green leaves never, we believo, failed to
appear; but the Tarish Boy's Progress' was
certainly once interrupted. In the
month of June, 1SH7, the readers of
Dcntlcy missed tho usual instalment of
'Olivtr Twist,' an apology appoaring for tho
author on the ground that owing to tho
sudden death of a dear young relative to
whom he was most affectionately attached,
he is compelled to seek a short interval of
rest and quiet.' Bcntlcy was given up in the
following yenr, for "Pickwick'' hadljid hold of
the jublic attention, and tho author was
nlrcndy widely famous. No thauks, however,
to tie critics, who only perceived the new
lifclit when its rnys were daz.!iug tho eyos of
all. Ono weekly critic, indeed, did romark on
tho first number of "Pickwick" that 'tho
design is playful aud tho opportunities for
good-i.aturod satire do not seem to bo ne
glected.' When nino numbers had appeared,
tho Athena um reported ns follows: Tho
writer of tho periodical which is now before
us has great cleverness; but ho runs closely
on some, lending hounds in tho humorous
pack, aud whrn ho gives tonguo (perchance a
vulj.ar tongue) be reminds yuu of the baying
of several deep dos who have gone before.
The- Pupers of tho Pickwick Club, in fact, are
ninde up of two pounds of Smollett, threo
ounces of Sterne, a handful of Hook, a dash
of grammatical Pierco Egan incidents at
phasuro, served with an original sauco i-tvante.'"

During the six years $3,340,348 have been tllbburscd
for losses, f3,769,uS6 have been returned to policy
holders in iiividi mis, and yet the Ansets exhibit un
Increase during that period of over Un atut a half
million iMlam.
'1 he attention of pr.llcy-holdors la particularly In
vited to the slgniileant lucta furnished by the pre
ceding figures, 'i'ho receipt Jmr interct, premium
on pout, etc., were, uh In the previous year, more than
nvjiicinit to mat the sum paid fur losses, I his excess
ben g due to the low talo of mortality (proof of a
highly judicious selection of risks) and the careful
nnd successldl investment of funds. Such a result
is freltlom achieved by any company.
The very lurgo amount of dividends disbursed
during tho year, amounting to one million, fivti
hundred and thirtii-jirn thounaiul, thire hu ndeet and
nimty-iiiiie dullai, should especially tie noticed.
AHei- setting aside, for relnsuruuco and other Hu-biilllcKgll,o&7.179-(U
(nearly two and a half millions
inexcesnof the previous year), a divisible surplus
remains of $1,070,750 -73.

Heard of Trusters has declared a Dividend, availa
ble on settlement, of next annual premium, to each
purtlcipuliiig policy proportioned to its "coutrihu
