;,,_ ~$ NEW =PITHLICLTIONL Ttip Life of abiahim ,14nooln. - By. A. G. Efelland. Springfield, lileesaclusetts.' Gui don Bill; .1866. • • If the , pursuit of great dims; the achieve inent ef great deeds; the, occupying of great position's; the' winning of ;'great faine; the posseasionorgiyat virtues; thuillustration of great principles, make men great, then Abrahani Lincoln was a greatlman.. His tory 'measures men by these ' standards, and to this measurement it adds those dis tances that lie between the starting point and the goal--between the foundation and the pinnacle--between the green valley and the snow-clad peak. The .majestic 'ice-berg which dwarfs the loftiest mast-head beneath its glittering battlements is chiefly grand because we know that far down, in a triple depth; beneath our line of view, the massive foundations are sunk, upon which its trans parent splendors are up-reared. No one can rise from the perusal 'of the life of Abraham Lincoln, which has jest : been given by the pen of 3. G. Holland, without the conviction that he his been brought face to face ;with the greatest man of modern times. 'With Wondertnl industry and' ability ,Mr. hak given us a biography 'of the greatest of American Pre sidents, so. :minute in its, details, and so thoroughly covering the whole period of Mr Lincoln's extraordinary career, that it is difficult to realize hiiw shOrt a time has been expended in the work, and how difficult must ,have been the exploration which has • produced such goldenresulta. With a meat loving enthusiasm, the author ,has traced the various steps which lead from the rude log cabin:in Kentucky, on Whose hard floor slept the backwoods boy, up through all the intervening scenes to the Executive Man sion, where the greatest of living rulers swayed the destinies of the millions of Ante rica,and won the unwilling praise of the mil lions of Europe. We read the record of Abraham Lincoln's early days, and as we pass from one scene to another in which the poor, unlettered, unknown boy struggled forward, always towards aclearer light and a higher stand-point, we seize upon the clue - which leads, without a single break, directly onwardto the final glorious consummation of all his ans. We find precisely the same qualities actively at work in the farm-boy, the axe-man, the fiat-boatman, the clerk, which controlled the statesman and the President. An unswerving honesty, a child-like simplicity, and a reverent fear of God run like a golden thread through his whole eventful life, a thread, whose even twisted strands were laid together by the tender hands of a Christian mother. The narrative of Abraham Lincoln's youth stirs the reader with a thrill such as the subtlest romance might excite. Few, comparatively, have realized as yet how utterly poor and humble that youth was. Left a motherless boy of nine years old, in a rough cabin in a wild section of Indiana, whither the family had removed from Ken tucky, he grew up at his father's side, in dustrious, studious, patient, honest. With a physical frame • inured to all manner of hardship,and with agenial spirit that rarely lost its balance, he was the :leader of the rough athletic sports of his coterades, the . best wrestler, the beat writer, the best reader, the best story-teller, the best woods man, the best water-man of them all. But his aim was always upward. He heard within him a clear voice ever saying "come up higher!" and be pressed on with a strange mixture of humility and confidence, undismayed by obstacles, undaunted by defeats, unmoved by the intrigues that sur rounded him and unhurt by the brilliant successes that he achieved. Mr. Holland brings us on from the ro mantic and stirring incidents of the boy hood and youth of Lincoln, through his po liticalecareer at the West, where his great contest with Douglas first made his name familiar to Eastern ears, with ever culmi nating interest. By numerous authentic anecdotes which will be new to most of the readers of this fascinating book, he brings out in bold relief the qualities of the boy matured, into the thoroughly developed proportions of manhood. Quick, shrewd, and ingenious to search out the weak places in the armor of his legal or political oppo nent, he was so generous, so simple, so noble, so honesV so true-hearted, that we do not wonder at his extraordinary per sonal popularity, or at his ultimate success. His was the character, of all others, to win the enthusiastic admiration and affection of the Western mind, and the whole world has come to endorse the verdict of his earliest and nearest friends. The reader passes on [through Mr. Lin coln's Presidential career, with painful sympathy. It is difficult to read, without tears, the story of those anxious weary years of his life. Misunderstood, misrepresented, burdened as man was never burdened be fore, beleaguered with treason, beset with political faction, hunted by the hungry pack of office-seekers, walking under a perpetual sense of fearful responsibility, his pillow was the thorniest and his pith the roughest that the ruler of a great people ever knew. Out of the very depths of his ,:care=worn spirit, he cried to one of his friends, "I shall never be glad any more." And yet this strong, great man went steadfastly along his via dolorosa, cheating the superficial observer with a semblance of light-hearted gaiety; rarely losing his even sweetness of temper; never unmindful of the little daily duties of kindneas and charity to the poor and suffer ing who so constantly bespoke his interven tion in their behalf; full of sympathy for the lowest soldier in the ranks; quick to detect imposition; quicker still to acknowledge his own short-comings; waiting, striving. Pray ing for the time when the blindness of the people should be taken away. It is one of the saddest reflections in read ing Mr. Lincoln's life, that as he advanced towards the consummation of his noble aims, he felt that his over-taxed strength was giving way, and that he shouldnot live to seethe full fruition of his hopes. ' To one who congratulated him nponthe prospect of the termination of the war,"l know-4 know," said he, pressing a and on either fade; "but the springs of life are wearing away and I shall notlast." To this idea he frequently recurred, and we cannot doubt that he was deliberately sacrificing his own life to his over-powering sense of duty, long before the bullet closed his career. Mr: Holland . has brenght out Mr. Lin adn's religions character with a distinct peas that must set at rest all cavil .npou th a t point. "He believed in God, and in His personal supervision of the affairs of men. He believed himielf to be under His control 11==illiES1 . _ . - and guidance," The. Bible was his'com; panion and prayer his resort , in his greatest need's: _The touching: ipPea,l to his_friende upon leaving Springfield came froth the very depths of his soul, and no adntinititia tion of our Government has everl been marked by ,the religious tone ' th 4 has marked that,Of Abraham Lineoln. 1 . We cannot refrain, front quoting a single very remarkable passage? from , - Mr: llolland'i biography, illustrating this point. !After Mr. Lincoln's election, he was conversing with Mr. Bateman in Springfield 'in 'Teen ence to tile fact that a large preponderance of the Springfield clergy were expeeted to vote against - him on account of their pro slavery proclivities. Mr. Lincoln! was walking the room, with a small Testament in his hand, greatly agitated. Stopping at last, he*said, witha trembling voice and his s cheeks wet with tears:' "I know there is a God and that He hates injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming, and I knoW His hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me -- and I think He haS—lbelieve I am ready. _I am nothing, but truth is every thing. I know lam right, because Iknow that liberty is right, for Christ teaches it, and Christ is God. I have told them that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and Christ and reasbn. say the same, and they will find it so. Douglas don't care whether slavery is voted up or voted down, but God cares, and -humanity _cares, j and I care; and with Godis help I shall not fail. I may not see the end, but it will cone and I shall be vindicated; and these Men will find that they iiave not read their Bibles aright." ' The analysis of the features of Mr t Lin coin's personal character and of the policy of his public life, is made by Mr. Holland with rare judgment and skill. Varied as they often are and conflicting as theY often seem to be, they all yield with beautiful harmony.to the test of the few simple rules and principles which governed this strange life, and his biographer is thus able to meet and overcome every difficulty which has perplexed and troubled the casual observer of Mr. Lincoln's history. Time and distance are yet to do their kindly offices for Mr. Lincoln's character. We all recognize that principle of history by which the truly great gain their full proportions as they recede from immediate contact and view. The mosses of Time hide many minor defects, and the misty at mosphere of Distance rounds many a rough angle into harmony and beauty. When this work shall have begun when Abraham Lincoln recedes into hiatory ; when the relative distance between him and the great men of the Past shall have been dimini -lied, then the world will be able to appreciate the fall stature of this great representative American. Even now men name him second to Washington, and some, with bolder vision, call htin his peer. But when History shall come to com pare Abraham Lincoln with all that have gone before him, by the measure of ' early advantages enjoyed, by the power of temp tations resisted, by the nobility and purity of personal character, by the steadfastness and courage of his spirit, by the magnitude of the work achieved, by the splendor of the victory won for himself and for his people, by the place which he filled in the face of the whole civilized world, we venture the prediction that Abraham Lincoln will stand upon the bright pages of American History, in many of the essential features of his life, without a peer! We cannot conclude this notice of ,Mr. Holland's book in better language than that with which the volume itself closes; "Hum ble child of the backwoods—boatman, axe man, hired laborer, clerk, zrurveyor, cap tain, legislator, lawyer, debater, orator, politician, statesman, President, saviour of the republic, emancipator of a race, true Christian, true man—we receive thy life and its immeasurably ~, great results, as the choicest gifts that a mortal has ever be stowed upon us; grateful to thee for thy truth to thyself, to us, and to God; and grate ful to that ministry of Providence and grace which endowed thee so richly, and bestowed thee upon the nation and mankind," IVO :111 el A i4l THE TwEYTY•FIFTH Annual Meeting of the Philadelphia Sabbath Association was held on Thursday evening at No. 1334 Chestnut street. The object of the Society is to promote the observance of the Christian Sabbath. Its affairs and funds are under the direction of a President, Corresponding and -Recording Secretary, Treasurer and a Board of forty-eight members. The Society has in its employ five Mis sionaries who visit, during the boating sea son, the Delaware Division, Lehigh, Morris, the Mainline, Susquehanna, the Delaware and Raritan, and the Cheseapeake and tri?Del aware canals, dis ' uting Tracts and Tes taments and doing ' 'onary work among the boatmen and driv boys. Against the hostile 'influences by i which the sanctity of the Sabbath, in some way and for some purposes, is assailed, and will continually be assailed, there is at present perhaps no barrier upon which the Christian public can so safely rely, as the preialence in the community of a correct and enlight ened public conscience upon the subject; and as a most powerful auxiliary in the cause of Truth, fhta Society solicits the es pecial aid of the Gospel Ministry in our city and State. - . The Annual Report gives an interesting account of 'the operations by the Rociety, and the labors of the Misvionaries during the putt year. The following are the of= ficers President. -John A. Brown.

' • LIFE - INEMBANCE.- - The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement'in our columns of the New York Life'a twenty first annual dividend, which is fifty per cent. for 1865, together with the redemption in cash of all outstanding scrip for the years 1863, 1864. The receipts for the year were over two millions of dollars; just at this time when both life and fire are so great, it certainly shows' superior •manage ment in the officers and agents of this com pany to make such a satisfactory report to their policy holders, thy only being ante= rested,in the profits. We knOw of no com pany in this country that have cashed their outstanding scrip and credits in so , short a time. The scrip of 1865 only remains to be paid. We can safely recommend this com pany in preference to many ether 3 to persons about insuring; the accumulated capital is , now over $4,500,000, and policies for $20,000 are insured in any one first-class risk. Messrs. Lancaster and Gaskill, the well known insurance agents, N: W. corner of Tenth and Walnut streets, are the agents for this State. Call on them and insure; we have done so. Tom SKATING SEASON. --The recent re newal of the cold atmospheric condition has rejoiced the hearts of all the proprietors of the skating parks, as well as of the'visitors who favor the parks with their presence. At Thirty-first and Walnutetreets, the skating is delightful, and the scientific movements of Messrs. Edward and William Van Hook charm all who see them. At Fifteenth and Wallace streets, Dr. Jansen's park is thronged and the ice is really excellent. Both parks at Fourth and Diamond streets are in admirable order, and the skating never was better. At Bushnell's park, Broad street and Columbia avenue, yester day, the scene was unusually brilliant. Mr. Peter Weaver, one of the most graceful skater's in the world, as our readers are aware, was upon the ice for some hours and delighted hundreds of spectators with his splendid evolutions. At Twenty-first street and Columbia avenue, there is ice as clear as water, and the park is accessible by the Ridge avenue cars. At this park, as well as at the others, there is excellent music daily.

AFTER Tizetr. 7 The officers of Camden seem to be unrelaxing in their efforts to hunt up incendiaries, whose works have for several months past filled the citizens with great dread, and endangered their property to such an alarming extent. Several months ago a young man named John Beck was arrested and put under bail, charged with having fired the stables and barn of Mr. Hatch, on the 15th of May last, and on Thursday afternoon he was convicted of the crime. Immediately on conviction he turned State's evidence and made an affida vit implicating several other lads in the transaction with himself, some of whom have been arrested. Whether they are guilty or not remedns to be seen, but justice demands better and more, positive evidence than the oath of a condemned criminaL Their cases, however, will be fairly investigated, as the Prosecuting At torney, Mr. Jenkins, and Justice T. M. Cassady will not permit any one to suffer who is innocent to appease the self-exone rating statements of the guilty.
