LITERATURE.
ME VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From Claxton, KemRen A llaffelfinger we
hae received "Sermons Treached at Brigh
ton, '' by the late Rev. Frederick W. Robert
son. Published by Harper it Brothers.
Tfceee sermons, which have now for the first
time been presented to the pnblio in a single
volnme, have had an almost unexampled
popularity both in England and the Unitqd
States. The graceful and polished style, the
fervid religions feeling, and the large-hearted
and large-minded catholicity that characte
rizes them have made them to be regarded
with favor by Christian readers of all de
nominations and all shades of opinion. With
out being very profound, these discourses are
impressive for their earnestness, and we do
not know of a volume of sermons that we can
more cordially recommend to all classes of
readers, with the assurance that they will be
both pleased and edified, than the one be
fore us.
From the Bame house we have received
"Gwendoline's Harvest," by the author of
"Carlyon's Year," etc., and "Stern Neces
sity," by F. W. Robinson, both of which are
from the press of Harper &"Brothers. These
are clever novels of English life by popular
writers, and we commend them to the atten
tion of people going out of town as enter
taining reading for the country or the sea
shore. From T. Ellwood Zell we have received
the first volnme of "Zell's Fopular Encyclo
pedia," bound in very handsome Btyle.
Two such splendid volumes as this will be
ornaments to any library, while the value of
the eontents will commend them to the re
gards of those who appreciate the inside of
books more highly than their outsides. This
Encyclopedia literally fulfils the promise of
its title. It is a popular work, and the
efforts of the editor and publisher have been
directed to condensing as large an amount of
information as possible into the smallest pos
sible space. This work will contain all the
essential facts of the elaborate articles
in the large encyclopedias, with a great vari
ety of new and entirely original matter.
While the majority of the articles are neces
sarily brief, those subjects that require ela
boration are treated in as comprehensive a
manner as is desirable, and, considering the
peculiar conditions of the work, there is pro
bably no encyclopedia or book of reference
published that will be found to contain as
much information as this. The publisher
has made arrangements for binding the
volumes as they are completed in various
styles and at various degrees of expense, from
the plain and substantial cloth to the ornate
and elegant calf and morocco. The "Ency
clopedia" is rapidly being completed, and
those who wish to subscribe should do so at
once, as the price will undoubtedly be ad
vanced when the entire work is issaed.
""Widow Goldsmith's Daughter," by Julie
P. Smith, published by S. W. Barrows, Hart
ford, has been sent ns by Porter & Coates.
This is a bright, fresh, and amusing story, with
plot enough to enable it to hang together,
but which is chiefly interesting on account
of its animated dialogue, its lively descriptions,
and its well-Bketched characters. "Chris
tobel," the daughter of Widow Goldsmith, is
a lovable creature, and "Mrs. Goldsmith"
herself may almost be considered a dramatic
creation. , The remaining personages are
drawn with much skill and genuine humor,
and the story altogether is one that a multi
tude of readers will heartily enjoy.
From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re
ceived the July numbers of Tlie Sunday Maga
zine, Good Words, and Good Words for the
Young. These English reprints are finely
illustrated by some of the best artists of the
day, and they present a most attractive
variety of stories, sketches, and poetry that
combine amusement with sound moral and
religious instruction in a manner that makes
them among the most desirable publications
of the day to be placed in the hands of young
people.
Henry Carey Baird, No. 406 Walnut
street, sends us a pamphlet entitled "The
Present and Long-continued Stagnation of
Trade: Its Causes, Effects and Cure; being a
sequel to 'An Inquiry into the Commercial
Position of Great Britain,' etc., by a Man
chester Man." This is a British argument
against free trade, and it is full of important
and interesting facts and figures made up
from Government returns and other authen
tic sources. We commend it to the attention
of American readers, as likely to give them
some valuable ideas about how free trade
works in England, and why it is that a strong
and vigorous opposition to it has been ex
cited of late years in that country.
The July number of TJie PhiladelpJua
Photographer gives as its "specimen" a re
markably fine "shadow picture," by W. J.
Baker, of Buffalo, N. Y. A large portion of
the number is taken up with a report of the
proceedings of the National Photographic
Association recently held at Cleveland, Ohio,
which contains many items of interest and
value to photographers in all sections of the
country.
The July number of T7t SehooUlay
Friend haa been sent us by Turner &. Co.
This periodical is now in its fourteenth year,
and it seems to be increasing in popularity.
The number before us contains an excellent
selection of stories, sketches, and poetry
adapted to the tastes of young readers.
Van, Nostra ml' a Eclectic Engineering
Magazine for July presents a valuable series of
papers on engineering subjects, selected from
the leading European scientific journals.
Difficulties of the English Lakguaoe.
One evening, as a Frenchman was seated by a
Southern planter's fireside, the Frenchman
remarked that there was one English word of
which he could never rind the meaning; he
had vainly searched the dictionaries and
begged his friend to assist him in the explana
tion. The word was often used by every one,
and yet when he awked the meaning he was
always told there was no such word, but he
fcoptd better treatment from his present host,
and, at once, to test his powers, gave the
word as "Tattle-too!''
"Tattle-too! ' said his friend; "there is no
such word."
"There it is!" cried the despairing French
man; "you are just like the others; you say
there is no such word, yet you always use it!"
"I cannot imagine what you mean," said
his friend, "and am sure there is no such
word."
The Frenchman sat a moment in lugubrious
silence, when it chanced that a servant entered
with fuel for replenishing the fire. As he
poked and stirred, and placed the fresh wood:
"There, there," exclaimed the host, "that'll
do! that'll do!"
"There! there!" cried the excited French
man, "you used the word this minute! Twice
you told the man 'Tattle-too! tattle-toe!' and
yet you say there is no such word!'' N. 0.

THE TJUMDAD PITCH-LAKE.
It was in the autumn of 1803 that I visited
the English colony of Trinidad; and I shall
never forget the effect produced upon mo by
the first glimpse of this truly picturesque and
beautiful island. It is situated at the mouth
of the river Orinoco, and extends from lati
tude nine degrees thirty minutes to ten de
grees fifty minutes north, and is separated
from the province of Cumana, on the South
American Continent, by the Gulf of Paria.
The island appears at a distance like an im
mense ridge of rocks along its whole north
front; but, on entering the Gulf of Paria, we
behold one of the most magnificent, varie
gated, and luxuriant panoramas that nature
ever formed. To the east, the waves of the
mighty Orinoco dispute for the empire of
the ocean with contending billows; the lofty
mountains of Cumana rise from the bosom of
the horizon in stupendous majesty; and, on
the west, appear the cape, headlands, moun
tains, bills, valleys, and plains of Trinidad,
enamelled with eternal verdure, and pre
senting a coup (Vail which is rarely surpassed.
Nor is the mind disabused of these delightful
emotions on penetrating into the interior of
the island. Its azure skies, deep-blue seas,
fertile glades, and elastic atmosphere, have,
in the language of one of its historians, each
and all, combined to crown Trinidad with the
appellation of the Indian Paradise.
It is not the object of this article to furnish
a graphic account of the island, but merely
to give a description of a very remarkable
phenomenon existing there, called the "Pitch
Lake." I had not long been in the island be
fore an opportunity presented itself of join
ing a party of ladies and gentlemen on a visit
to this interesting lake, which I readily availed
myself of. The lake is distant from Port of
Spain, the capital of the island, some sixty
miles, and is most readily accessible by water.
The western shore of the island for about 20
miles, is quite flat, and richly wooded, and
though only one or two houses are perceptible
from the sea, the interior is well cultivated.
Nearer, towards the lake, the shore assumes
a more smiling aspect. Here one sees a noble
forest; there, a sheet of bright green points
out a cane field. Cocoonuts and palm trees
are sprinkled over the landscape, and now
and then a well-built house, close to the
water's edge, appears, with a verdant lawn
extending from it to the sea, and the ground
sometimes broken into sinuosities, and then
slightly undulating.
The lake is situated at Cape La Brea, where
we arrived in a small steamer used for con
veying passengers to and from different places
along the coast. After wending our way
over rocks of pitch and crustnlated sand, we
soon come to the road leading directly to
the lake, and, emerging from it, the spectator
stands on' the borders of what appears at the
first glance to be a lake, containing many
wooded islets, but on a second examination
proves to be a sheet of asphaltum (pitch).
The lake is elevated eighty feet above the
level of the ocean; a gradual ascent leads
to it, which is covered with pitch in a hard
state, and trees and vegetation flourish upon
it. In some places beds of cinders are found;
and a strong sulphurous smell pervades the
ground to the distance of eight or ten miles
from the lake, and is perceived in approach
ing the shore.
The lake is bounded on the northwest by
the sea, on the south by a rocky eminence,
and on the east by the usual argillaceous soil
of the country; it is nearly circular, and more
than half a league in length, and the same in
breadth. The variety and extraordinary mo
bility of this phenomenon are very remark
able; groups of beautiful shrubs and flowers,
tufts of wild pineapples and aloes, swarms of
magnificent butterflies and brilliant humming-birds,
enliven a scene which would be
an earthly representation of Tartarus without
them. With regard to mobility, where a
small islet has been seen on an evening, a
gulf is found on the following
morning, and, on another part of
the lake, a pitch-islet has sprung up,
to be in its turn adorned with the most
luxurious vegetation, and then again engulfed.
The usual consistence and appearance of the
asphaltum (except in very hot weather, when
it is usually liquid an inch deep) is that of
t
it-coal, but of a graylsn color. Sometimes,
owever, the asphaltum is jet black and hard.
Deep crevices, or funnels, are found in
various parts, filled with excellent limpid,
running water, and often containing a great
variety of mullet and small fish. Alligators
even are said to have been seen in these ex
traordinary chasms. Pieces of what was once
wood are found completely changed into
bitumen, and the trunk of a large tree, on
being sawn, was entirely impregnated with,
petroleum. Where the petroleum mixes with
the earth, it tends greatly to fertilize it, and
the finest fruits of the island come from dis
tricts bordering on this singular lake, the
pineapples, in particular, beiDg less fibrous,
more aromatic, and of a deeper golden
color, than are to be found anywhere
else. The pitch at the sides of the lake is
perfectly hard and cold, but, as one walks to
wards the middle with the shoes off, in order
to wade through the water, the heat gradually
increases, and the pitch becomes softer and
softer, until at last it is seen boiling up in a
liquid state, and the soles of the feet become
so heated that it is necessary to dance up and
down in a most ridiculous manner. During
the rainy season it is possible to walk nearly
over the whole lake, but, in the hot season, a
great part is not to be approached. Although
several attempts have been made to ascertain
the depth of the pitch, no bottom has ever
been found. In standing still on the lake,
near the centre, the surface gradually sinks,
forming a sort of bowl, as it were; and, when
the shoulders become level with the lake, the
prudent traveller will make the best of his
way out.
Science is at a loss to account for this ex
traordinary phenomenon, for the lake does
cot seem to occupy the mouth of an exhausted
crater, neither is the hill on which it is situ
ated of volcanio origin, for its basis is clay.
TLe flow of pitch from the lake has been im
mense, the whole country round being covered
with it, and it seems singular that no erup
tion has taken place during the memory of
man, although the principle of motion still
exists in the centre of the lake. During the
ERKt three years several thousand tons have
een shipped to this country, and yet I am
assured by a gentleman residing there, with
whom I am in freqnent correspondence, that
no diminution is visible. My last advices
from Trinidad inform me that a company,
formed in the United States, was at that time
engaged seeking for oil in the neighborhood
of the lake, and that oil had been discovered
in several places. Appletoris Journal.
