LITERATURE.
HEVJEW OF .NEW BOOKS.
"The Life and Writings of Alexander
Jarflfs Dallas," by his son George Mifflin
Dallas, piiliehed by J. B. Lippinoott & Co.,
Is the record of the honorable career of a
statesman who played a subordinate bat not
unimportant part in the establishment of the
government of the country, and who was the
intimate friend and associate of the great men
who made American republicanism what it is.
Mr. Dallas filled many important offices with
credit to himself, and earned a reputation as
statesman of which his descendants hare a
right to be proad. lie was a strict construc
tionist, and a States' rights advocate of the
old school, and was consequently one of the
fathers of the modern Democratic party. An
ardent partisan, he was connected with all
the political movements of hia day; and the
great value of the biography before us is in
the eocnrate view it gives of - the condition of
the politics of the first decade and a half of
the century. The correspondence is particu
larly valuable, and the letters to and from llr.
Dallas throw much light upon the events of
the period when they were written. This
volume was prepared for the press by the late
lion. George Mifflin Dallas some time before
Lis death, and it has now been given to the
public by his daughter.
"The Life and Times of Henry Lord
Brougham," written by himself, in three vol
umes, volume I, published by Harper &
Brothers, is the record of a remarkable career
from the pen of the only person who could
do justiceto the subject. Lord Brougham's
career extended over a period of years which
embraced very nearly a century, and he was
an active and influential statesman for more
than the allotted threescore and ten years of
human life; and yet at the time of his death
his mental faculties were as unimpaired as
in the days long ago when he won fame by
his bold and able defense of Queen Caroline
in the divorce suit brought by her scamp of
a husband, George IV. He was the intimate
friend of all the great men who have figured
in English history during the present century,
and he was himself an active participant in
nearly ell the great political movements of
the century. The autobiography of
Buch a man conld scarcely fail
to be interesting, but the greatest admirers
of Lord Brougham oould scarcely have ex
pected such a very entertaining work as the
one before us. The style is often playful
and facetious, and the work abounds with
anecdotes and reminiscences which are pften
exceedingly amusing, and which will give a
new idea of Lord Brougham's real character
to those whose impressions of him have been
formed from the saturnine portraits that
abound. The first volume comes down to the
year 1811, when he was just beginning to
figure in publio life, and both in matter and
manner it is entitled to rank with the best
specimens of autobiography which the world
possesses, and is an excellent introduction to
those which will follow and which will record
the events upon which the fame of the writer
particularly rests. For sale by Claxton,
Remsen & tlaffelflnger.
"Bench and Bar," by L. J. Bigelow,
published by Harper & Brothers, is a new and
enlarged edition of a work that has achieved
a deserved popularity. This is the most
complete collection of anecdotes of legal
wit and humor ever made, and it
contains abundant entertainment for the
leisure hours not only of lawyers but of
all who are able to appreciate a good story
well told. The present edition contains
about one hundred and sixty pages of addi
tional anesdotes, and is embellished by a
number of portraits of distinguished legal
gentlemen. For sale by Claxton, Iierusen &
Ilaffelfinger.
"Fragments of Science for Unscientifio
People" is the title of a series of lectures,
essays, and reviews, by John Tyndall, LL. D.,
F. It. S., which has just been issued by D
Appleton fc Co. Professor Tyndall is one of
the best, if not the very best, of the popular
writers upon scientific subjects, and he never
writes anything that is not well worth reading
or that does not contain sound instruction
xne titles ot tne papers in tins volume are
'The Constitution of Nature," "Thoughts on
Prayer and Natural Law," ."Miracles and
Special Providenoe," "Matter and Force,"
'An Address to Students," "Scope and Limit
of Scientific Materialism," "Soientiflo Use of
the Imagination," "On Radiation," "On Ra
diant Heat in Relation to Color and Chemical
Constitution of Bodies," "On Chemical Rays
and the Structure and Light of the Sky,"
"Dust and Disease," "Life and Letters of
Faraday," "An Elementary Lecture on Magna
tism,"and several shorter articles on "Slates,"
"Death by Lightning," "Science and Spirits,"
and "Vitality." These essays and lectures
are written with as much avoidance of teohni-
oal terms as possible, and they are at once
entertaining and full of instruction. For
Bale by Porter & Coates.
The new "Specimen Book of Messrs,

to the enterprising firm which has issued it.
It gives specimens of a number of new and
elegant styles of type which deserve to be
come popular, as well as a groat variety of
styles which have won their way to publio
favor.
"The Foe in the Household," by Caro
line Chesebro, published by James R. Osgood
& Co., is a pleasing domestic story, which
contains several exoollcnt sketches of char
acter, and which exhibits more power and
artistic finish than some of the previous
writings of the same author. For sale by

LA SALLE COLLEGE.
The Annual Commencement Address to
tne graduates by John P. O'Neill, Esq.
At the annual commencement of La Salle
College, held last evening at the Academy of
Music, John P. O'Neill, Esq., made the fol
lowing address to the graduates:
Gentlemen Graduates: With the degrees
and honors just conferred upon you the
scholarship of La Salle ceases. You are as
sembled to-night, as they were of old in the
temples of Olympia, to receive the laurels of
the victor. High honors, proud distinctions
to be carefully carried by you through life. With
them the rivalries of the class cease, ambi
tion wears its wreath. . The little cares, too,
that now and then have vexed you, are lulled
to rest forever. These, as iEneaa said to his
companions, you may delight hereafter to re
member: "Forsan et hcDcollm memlnisse juvabit."
As children who leave their home to try the
fortunes of the world, you are about to part
yours, this, the school of the mind. Fondly
must you ever cherish the memory of Alma
Mater, the fair nurse of your thoughts, the
guide of your reason. Well, indeed, will it
be if you carry with you the lessons she has
taught, and preserve that discipline to which
she has trained you. Safely will they guide
you tnrougn tne trials and adventures of life.
as Mentor did of old the youth of Ithaoa.- Her
eye and her heart will ever follow you. Your
success will be to her the harvest of her own
hope. To each of you she has given his por
tion, which, with care, can never decrease,
through all the treacheries of fortune. Your
own industry ean add to it. She has given
you the power of acquiring . true wealth, the
wealth of knowledge. What greater treasure
could she have given you? Theft cannot
take nor cheat abstract it from you. By it
yon will prosper in life, and when you die
the piety of the grave will give you the
deathless came of which Horace sang.
"Non omnia mortar ; multaque pars mat
Vita bit Llbitlnam." i
nr great care has been to fit you for the
world, that you should eooupy with honor the
places you are to nil, and discharge with
fidelity the duties yon are to assume. Hence
she has unbosomed to yon the secrets of art,
carefully withdrawn the veil from the very
temple of science, and offered you as votaries
to be blessed by its divinity. How tenderly
has she led yon through the old and rich nur
series of literature, where labor like the
flower, has its blossom, and the sunshine of
genius its fruit!
In that spirit of study wmch she has in
fused, she has given you the hopes and pro
mised distinctions of the scholar. Cherish it
forever. Without study you are as the rough
and rugged soil, untouched by culture. By
it alone can the mind, like the quarry by
labor, be enriched. Without it are unopened
the deep mines of thought, where lie the
treasures of learning.
What is tne canvas without its artist, or the
marble without its sculptor? What is there
to care for in the barren and nnblasted rook?
Labor alone can give it those features of life
for which it is prized. What the strings of
the Thracian lyre without, the touch of
Urpneus Aristotle teas ns tnat education is
to the mind as the sculptor is to the blook of
marble.
Gentlemen Graduates: If, now that your
collegiate course is ended, you can say that
yon have learned bow to study, well indeed
have yon spent your time, and richly have
you been rewarded. It is then witn your
selves to acquire Knowledge, uenius, no
matter how brilliant, effects but little without
persistency of purpose and steadiness of
labor. From the dust of the Isthmean did
the vietor of old pick up the pine leaf, or the
wild olive out with the golden sickle. To ac
quire learning you must labor.
'Nil sine magno, vita labore dedlt mortallbus."
Over rough and rugged ways is it to be
sought. To it there is no royal road, as
Euclid said to Lis imperial pupil. Let not
sloth deceive or divert you from the pursuit
Listen not to its voice. Like the song of the
Birens, its musio is death.
Be chaste, too, in the learning that you ac
quire. Do not debauoh the mind with that
which is now called literature. Go back to
the fountain of pure streams. The Nymph
and the Naiad will lead you to the groves aud
the springs where thought Is divine and lan
cnaee inspired. A purer style cannot be
formed than on the models you have been
studying. They have been preserved for
you through all the revolutions of time, acoi
dent, and change. Avoid scribblers; soribbing
is the malady of our dav. and is bard to be
cured. Forget not the satire of Juveaal:
"Teaat lnsanablle m altos scrlbandl cacwthei."
Printing is a great art; and as great a bless.
ing. Never use it to din use ignorance or
propagate error.
Gentlemen, with the light of to-morrow
the dreams of the schoolboy will pass away,
and you will look upon the world where you
will have to choose pursuits. Lose not a
moment in seeking that place for which you
are best fitted.
Make good use of time, as its golden
fctream sweeps by you, for like the torrent it
cannot stop. Thiukof the beautiful words of
Ovid:
Neque enlin conslstere flamen,
eo Uvls bora protest. '
Let not ambition beguile you, and, as the
clown in Horace, stand by the river 'till its
waters Lave passed, and die without having
resolved how to live. What ruin has ambi
tion in its destructive flame caused to mind
and body! Take that road in life which
nature has figured out to you. There you
ill find happiness, and in that you have true
wealth a eentented heart. Some of you
will seek the arts; others wander away into
the regions of science. Borne will perhaps
eombat for fame in professional life. What
ever be yonr aim, clooely adhere to it. The
advice of Horace to the poet I may in a man
ner give to you:
srmnr ad imnm
Quails ah locrpto proccMwit, et albl toastet"
Cling to your purpose as Ulysses did to the
mast, and steadily prime your course. Thus
you will succeed, and do be content with that
success to which you may reach. Remember
all cannot be first. Nature is generous, not
often rrodical. We have bat one Homer.
one Plato, oue Demosthenes, one Cicero, the
sacred fire of whose genius the world like a
rental watcbes to-day.
Give to all the attainments of the mind
that which is their highest ornament, virtue.
As light in to the beauties of the landscape, so
is virtue to the best faculties of the mind.
Without it, they are lost, buried in the mid
night of darkness.
Gentlemen, a word more at parting, ion
are now about to separate, and take, nerlmw.
different roads in life. Forget not the friend
ship of this night, nor the generous heart of
the schoolboy.
Should you in after years meet one of your
companions, careworn and faint, as he jour
neys on bis way, turn not aside, but remem
ber him who shared with you the honors of
Alma Mater, and help him on his road. Give
him the warm hand of the true friend, and
the honest counsel of the true brother. Assist
each other as best you can through life, and
thus prove that you are the worthy alumni of
La balle.
