"THE MOONSTONE."• We can enjoy the examination of this book more, and do it a better kind of justice, if we clear our souls of the confession, at the out set, that the "Moonstone" is an inferior dis play of Mr Collins's style, andthat lins's style, when at its best, 'is an inferior style. , This conviction once expressed, we are free to admit that we have now, and have had since Brockden Brown, but one author able to excite intense interest by pure plot work,and that this writer is the author of the "Moonstone;" also that his present composi tion, tvhether inferior to its predecessors or no, is ingenious, finished and artistic to a degree that no prentice hand in the art of mystification could have made it. • The story begins in the eighteenth century, when Aurungzebe removes the Moonstone, a yellow diamond, from the forehead of the god of the moon; the gem arrives in England after the sack of Selingapatam, meets in that c ountry the adventures which form the bulk of the romance, and is finally restored to the idol, in his shrine in the sacred city of Som nainh. It is' bequeathed by the English officer who had seized on it, is Tippoo's dagger, to his niece, our heroine : the stone, to fulfil the exigencies of a plot meant to baffle the most experienced navel reader, is obliged to undergo, while in subjec tion to the morbid ingenuity of' the Anglo- Saxon mind, trialS to which the trials of the dwarf in Malzel's chess-player were baga telles. To the confounding of all its oriental precedents of lethargy and quietism, it is dragged through the machinery of what it is only necessary to define as one of Mr. Col lins's puzzles. It must be alternately watched andlet slip; it must nick the finest conjunc tures of time; it must be left, as a damning legacy, to the heroine, from motives of re venge—yet she finally marries, happy and commonplace; it must arrive unchallenged at the heroine's country residence,—yet the watch-kept on it by its Indian proprietors is of a perfection only to be found in fiction, and keeps it in view supernaturally every where,else but on this journey; them, to, con struct the plot, the hero, who never somnambu latad Inlore,, must turn sleep-walker, and tuiVic4eooKlOuf,ly ; the heroine must see luin do At,„ in order to coin plicate roitte7';' - and, furnish herself with a goorajouil • 4 BoveL" By Wilkie Collier. yquirlarptratiorits. r taaryer 4 Brothere.

There are plenty of pass,sges which reveal.theie virtues, and the description of the Shivering. Sand,in the "Moonstone," is almost equal to the glorious delineation of the Br6ads, in ••Armaidale." What a picture's created by these isolated paragraphs ! "The sand-hills here run doWn to the sea, and end in two spits of rock jutting oat opposite each other, till you lose sight or them in the water. One is called the North Sett, and one the South. Between the,,two, shifting backward and forward at certain seasons of the year, flee the most horri ble quicksand on the shores of Yorkshire. At the turn of the tide something goes on in the unknown deeps below, which sets the whole face of the quicksand quivering and trembling in a manner most remarkable to see, and which has given to it, among the people in our parts, the name of Thu bhivering band. A great bank, half a mite out, nigh the mouth of the bay, breaks the force of the main ocean coming in from the offing. Winter and summer, when the tide flows over the quicksand, the sea seems to leave the waves be hind it on the bank, and rolls its waters smoothly with a heave, and covers the sand in silence. A lonesome and a horrid retreat, I can tell you! No boat ever ventures into this bay. No children from our fiebing-village, called Cobb's Hole, ever come here to play. The very birds of the air, as it seems to me, give the Shivering Sand a wide berth. * "1 ookeil where_she.pointed.—The-tide-was-on the turn, and the horrid sand began to shiver. The broad_brown_race of it heaved slowly, and 'i.e' a In V'''• a er. to you know what it looks like to me? says Rosanna, catching me by the shoulder again: •'lt looks as if it had hundreds of ;suffocating people under it —all struggling to get to the surtsce, and all sinking lower and lower in the dreadful deeps! Throw a stone in, Mr. lietteredge! Throw a stone in, and let's see the sand suck it down!' * ' * "In this position my face was within a few feet of the surface of the quicksand. The eight of it so near me, still disturbed at intervals by Its hideous shivering fit, shook my nerves for the moment; * * * the bared wet surface * * * glittering with a golden brightness, hid the horror uf Its false brown face under a passing smile." But Mr. Collins has not the slightest turn for drama, and where he feels it necessary to diversity his book by chapters written in character, his failures harm the interest of the whole narrative. Collins, who has powers of self-retention and of climax which Dickens does not possess, had better leave to Dickens such character-parts as the old steward whose oracle is Robinson Crusoe,and the religious spinster who conceals tracts in people's-battling-robes; out of such concep tions Dickens. would make rollicking, immor tal caricaiiires; out of them Mr. Collins makes pointless and feebly-ridiculous mons ters. We say nothing of the alight offered to many generous and selfssacrificing lives by the sort of unpleasant satire he devotes to the poi tray al of Dr usilla Clack; leaving that con sideration _quite aside, we only say that his hand is not tine enough to do the thing well, and that he had better leave such future temp tations as Miss Clack and Betteredge unde veloped, in the matrix of his fancy. The latest production of Wilkie Collins's complex hrain, with all its infelicities, is nothing like a failure. The interest is in tense from the first page to the last. We cannot choose but hang upon the master's motions as he steadily and deliberately un folds the broad and plaited web from the be ginning to the end. it is like some tangled jungle of Indian palms woven upon a skillful loom, in which the complements of relieving colas, and the resolution of capricious lines, fascinate and charm the puzzled eye. If for nothing else, we are hearty in our admira tion for the Indian prologue ani epilogue of the romance. That dusky Brahmin element, woven like a thread of wire into the plot, gives it a wonderful continuity, and sease of time. By its means the novelist associates his fable with immemorial dignities ,and su perstitions that are musky with age. The envoi is superb, with the diamond once more at rest, and the shadowy figures of the Brah mins, who had gone through knavery and heroism with equal willingness in its service, separating without a murmur to meet their awful fate. "In a whisper he explained to me the appari tion of the three figures on the platform of rock. "They were Brahmins (he said) who had for feited their caste in the service of the god. The god had commanded that their purification should be the purification by pilgrimage. On that night the thre,e men were, to part. In three separate directions they were to set forth as pil grims to the shrines of India. Nevermore wore they to look on each other's faces. Nevermore were they to rest from --their wanderings, from the day which witnessed their separation to the day which witnessed their death. - " As those words were whispered to me the plaintive music ceased.

As the result of wide reading, deep feeling, and the commentator's art of digesting his read ing without losing his sentiment, Dr. Albert Barnes's Bible notes have been the chosen company of Christian readers fora long way back in the history of the American churoli. ThoseM the New Testament, and on the books of 3 Job, Isaiah and Daniel, have testi fled to his rare union of simple-hearted piety and scholastic research. The large class of readers with whom they, are favorites will extend a gratified welcome to the Rev. au thor's "Notes, Critical, ..B.xplanatory and Practical, on the Book of Psalnis," the first volume of which is now published by Har per 4k . Brotheis. ~ In a dignified and mov ing preface, the: , venerable author, takes leave of his life-task of' • forty years, than:Miming hours of which long period have never failed to see the faithful steward at his desk, rendering count, in these industrious volumes, of the delicate talent committed to him. Barnes', commentaries, , ranging from the pre-hieoric,. study of Joh—through Daniel, who g.e.W, plain as a landseape before him a world's' future We cannot seez-to the New Testament and'now, back to the higheit oriiinte.l'achieveMent in :impassioned imetr3r-4indicate a deo, a falthfully;indus trious, and a lopiniexatnination of the great Book of.BOolni. He is always thoughtful, observant, pious, reverent, ' and wakeful : he loves the wonderful Jewislf ccillection' of rhapsody and chronicle, •and his • investiga tions combine the courage of an explorer with the zeal of a minister and the faith of a child. The fust tliird-part- of 4-jiarnees-z-com •ments on the Psalms includes the forty-first of those grand old lyrics, in whieh the suf fering King has set to immortal music his heavenly trust, mingled with invectives against some insidious enemy. This psalm took part, they say, among the day's services read together by Marie Stuart and Daxnley, on the last night previous to their eternal separation by means of treachery and murder; the beau tiful, false queen must have httd zinging in her ears, when the news of the assassination reached her, those accusing words "yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat 'of my bread, bath lifted up, his heel against me;"—words which. have been the constant brand of traitors since the Saviour quoted them, on his last night, , against his own false steward, who ate of the aop and who had the bag. Dr. Barnes's notice of this poem,_as-of the others,-lagravaand close,- weighing every sentence, balancing all au study in a little introductory outline which sets the hymn picturesquely in its historical surroundings and in the temporary mood of the royal singer's mind. By the taste and piety combined with which Dr. Barnes wears his scholarship, he gets the ear of the whole class of ordinary readers, Who would be re pelled by a harsher doctor. The volume is for sale by G. W. Pitcher. We receive from the agent, Mr. J. K. Si mon, 29 South Sixth street, the third and fi nal volume of Putnam's Knickerbocker edi tion of the Life of Columbus, by Washington Irving. It is prefaced by a portrait of Ame ricus Vespuccins, and contains notices of the voyages of the great navigator's companions, with an appendix filled with information about the experimenters in discovery and their historians. An index of the most elaborate character rounds off the work, and completes the general impression of watchful editorship. The publishers, on their part, have brought out a peculiarly neat volume for the book table, printed- on toned paper with ample margins, handsomely bound in imitation Turkey, with Irving's shield and autograph in gold, gilt top and bevelled edges. All Americans who have "heart enough" to want to know when and how they were discovered should select the Putnam issue of that fine old story. J. B. Lippincott 4 Co. have added to their Globe edition of Bulwer, that author's" Night and Morning." The story was originally published in 1841, just before his,wild specu lative romance of Zanoni. The present edi tion is plain, handy and cheap, while it is so tastefully bound that it looks remarkably well on the shelf. PROPOSALS. TAEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC .

SAXON SPUNK AND NEWS) ENTHUSIASM . . Now and then there was a bad boy of this stock in my -district. There was one such called Wallace, a bright, restless mulatto 'of seventeen or eighteen, who stole 'hens, over ' conts, Sc.,nd occasionally f ' ought. Tom 'l e arner, a 'low-down white m an, getting jo cosely drunk ono day, thought its fine thing to slap this youth in the, face with a meal bag. Wallace collected a party`of his com rades, chased Turner nearly half a mile, dragged him from his wagon; stabbed him in the shoulder- with a jack-knife, and was hardly prevented from killing him. All the parties in the scuffle, including the white man, were arrested, fined, and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Wallace became a convert to the Baptist Church, and vas let out of jail one Sunday to undergo immersion. "Well, have yon got the wickedness all .out of you?" I heard an unbelieving citizen say to him. "I reckon you ought to have hot water. "0 yes! all out this time," returned , Wal lace; with confidence which I thought fore- Shadowed a speeo fallin g frOrri glace. ' TUX muLATTo EARLY. Another day I was kepi M a e ferment of un certainty. for a couple of hears by :two :,boys. of about twelve = -a black and a Mulatto—ona, or other of *hem bad stolen Avalifttble Pocket knife from a llttlAwhite toy. -The plundered ; Youth, and "his fitber=s"hrm'a-sgmed In stating that the black boy had borrowed - the knife - "to leek it,it," and. had never returned it. "Yas, so I did borry it," Admitted the ac cused, a shiny-fareit youngster, glib, loud tongued, and.gesturing wildly in , his excite ment. ",But I didn't steal-it. Yere's a good knife of:My own," an' why should_ I steal another knife ? I jes' borry'd it to see it, cos it-bad „so-man yore ` yeller_ boy asked me to let him take it to cut a water-million. So I handed it over to him, and that's the last I see of it. That's so, jes' as snah as you's bohn." The mulatto, a handsome, dignified little fellow, faced this accusation in the calmness of innocence. A citizen whispered to me, "The black boy is the thief," and I also felt pretty sure of it. I had both the youngsters searched, but without result. Then, find ing that the property had disappeared near the farmer's wagon, I told him to take the accused back there to search tor it, and, if they did not find it, to Wing them to me again, to be sent to jaiL In ten minutes the party returned without the knife. The mulatto still wore his calm front of innocence, while the negro was now quiet wild with ex citement. "I shall have to confine you both for trial," I said, "If you don't give up the knife." "'Fore God, I dam° whar 'ds,"•exclaimed the darkey. "I'd lose a hundred. knives 'fore I'd go to jail. • 'll€ don't care 'boat jail, he's "Oho :" said .1 turning to the mulatto. h OVA 1141.3 n trk inn —boast cents you are the thief. If -you don't find that knife in , ten minutes, .I will have you severely punished." There was another search; the criminal was still obdurate, but, his mother arrived on the scene of action, and "got after him" with a brootnstick; and the result was that he pointed out the missing article amidst a pile of straw where be had contrived to secrete IL Yet so blameless had been his countenance during the whole transaction, that probably not one person in ten would have selected him as the gailty partY. rr!MR) tt . i b tell you the nigger is a no-account eree tor," went on the old planter. "All the men are thieves, and all the women are prostitutes. It's there natur to be that way, and they never'll be no other way. They ain't worth the land they cover. They ought to be improv ed 01l the face of the earth."- - Here the meek-looking New. Yorker sp)ke for the first time in an hour. "You are improving 'em off pretty fast," he said, meekly. "Got some of 'em' 'most white already. - So unfair is the human mind that nobody but myself laughed at this retort. The plan ter turned the conversation on crops, and the audience looked out of the windows. JULIM CITMDRORS- POMP OF SAXON PRIDE "Multitudes of planters, never had a negro whipped," said the elderly Carolina doctor. "I have owned twenty or thirty, and I never punisheß one. I'll tell you the whole story, and I believe you'll allow that I did right. It was a girl named Julia, who was brought up in our house, a regular pet of the family. Finally She went wrong somehow, and had a mulatto child; they would do that, you know, no matter what pains you took with them. After that, I noticed that Julia didn't have no more children; wouldn't havo nothing to say to her own color; wouldn't take a husband. I At last, thought I ought to talk to her, and says I 'Julia, what does this mean ?' Says she, 'Doctor; I've - had one •white man's child, and I'm never going to have no black man's child.' bays I, 'Julia, that's wrong, and ybu ought' to know it.' tAays she, 'Well, Doctor, wrong or not, I feel that way, and I'm bound to stick to it.' Now, I knew she was wrong, you see, and I couldn't-let the-thing go on so. Lfelt in duty houtid,to'get `such ideas out of her head. I whipped her. I took her out, and I give her one right good switching with's hickory. I thought I ought to do it, and I did it." Whether the hickory reformed Julia of her wicked and unfruitful pride, so deleterious to the growth of the Doctor's planting popula tion, I was too fastidious to inquire. 411ANOE mTnit NEGRO VIEW OF PROPERTY. Stealing, althotigh as yet more common among them than even among the low-down whites, is far less knpwn than when they held, not ,without' reason, that it was no harm "to put niassiis chicken into massa's ingger." TUE FREEIWAN AS •A FARMER ON SUARES. As farm laborers the, freedmen fail to real ize the fact that it is nedful- to work entirely through spring, summer and fall, in order to obtain a crop, They do admirably, iti the_ planting season, and are apt to sow too much groundi, then comes.a reaction, and they, will indulge in a succession of day hnntiogs and night frolics, and the consequence is a larger crop of weeds than of corn. - If the planters were forehanded enough Lto'pay; their-people day wages, and discharge a man as soon as he turns lazy, things would go . better. But the general custom, dictated by - habit-and by lack of capital, is to allow the negro share of the crop; and-he he thus becomes' a partner in the year's business;he is disposed to believe that he has a' righflo manage it:after-his own' pleasure. It was enough to Inakeime both laugh_ and cry to go out to Colonel Irvine's fine pinta tion, and look at the result of his - Lording for` 1867, on land which could _produce withent manure, an average ot, thirty bushels-of corn to the acre:- A. gang of negroeSi - cotuoting thirteenfield hands, had taken a large part of his farm; and, as, the produce of ona_Aeld_of thirty-five acres, tlAyhad,..to show about hundred bushels of , wretched "nubbins;" the weeds meanwhile stinding four feet high among the cornstalks, ' - "They neglected it, during the hoeing season," said the Colonel, " and they never :I could tet.uv et - their Eryttad - 13fterwards. ---- 11 - il was of no use to order or scold; they .were disobedient, sulky, and insolent. As for frolicking, why, sir, from fifty to seventy' . darkids pass my house every night, going into the village, The next day they are, of course, fit for nothing." And now, after the land had been used for . naught, these negroea did not want to repay the advances of rations upon which they had lived during,the summer• they were deter mined to take their third of the crop from the fields, and, leave the Colonel to sue or whistle, as ho pleased, for what was due him in the way of corn, bacon, molasses and to bacco. HIS SELF-CONTROL. Like all uncultured peoples they have 'a : keen relish for the sense of, freedom and grandeur which., it gives to man, and _al ready many: of them have'learned""to - destroy a power of whisky." ' Of General Howard's temperance pledgee they certainly thought very small beer. I never got &signature; nothing but snickers and "guffewlepres sible anti-temperance laughter. If anything is done it .this way it must be through the medium of secret societies, with passwords, ceremonies, processions, insignia—something to strike the imagination. To the Good Templara - and the/8511aa . of Temperance I re commend' this missionary labor: It is needed, or will be. I .AB A ' POLITICO..V.' As I have , already hinted, the negroes waste Much of ; their `time- in amusement. What, with trapping rabbits by day and treeing' 'possums by night, dances which last til morning and prayertmeetings which are little better than frolics, they contrive to be hap pier than they have "anycall-to be,", consid ering their chanceh of starving toAleath. _lt is not •entirely without:foundation that the planters and the reactionary journals com plained that,the loyaljeagues were an injury to both whites and blacks. As an, officer, I wanted to - see reconstruction. furthered, and as a Republican I desired that. Lthagreat_partyfftkiefx-had-sayed--the r nion should prosper; but, • believing that niy first duty was to prevent famine in my dis trict, I felt it necessary to discourage the zeal of the freedmen' for political gatherings. X found they were traveling ten and twenty miles to league meetings, and, what with amine and going, making a three day's job of it, leaving the weeds to take care of the corn. The village was ,an attraction; and, moreover,there was the Bureau school-house for a place of convocation; there, too, were the great men and eloquent orators of the party, and the secret insignia of the League. I remonstrated strenuously against the abuse, and reduced the number of meetings in the school-house to one a week. " Go horrie, and get up your own league,' I exhorted a gang who had come fifteen miles from a neighboring district for initiation. 'Let your patriotism come to, a head in your own neighborhood. Do you suppose the government means to feed you, while you do nothing but tramp about and hurrah? "My belief is that, nearly, all my brother officers pursued the, same policy, and that - ibex - eta - little or no foun - atiori -- 11 -- )r -- th - e - cliArge that the Bureau was prostituted to political THE NEGRO ti PEACEABLE CILARACTER "As chief of a sn&districa madea monthly report headed 'Outrages of Whites, against Freednien,' and another' headed' 'Outrages of Freedmen against Whites.' The first generally, and the second invariably, had a tine in red ink drawn diagonally across it, showing that Otero • were no.• outrages to re port. After three small gangs of white robbers, numbering altogether ten or twelve pertoris, bad been broken up hy the civil and military,anthorities, few acts of , serious vio lence were committed by either race against the other. The 'high-toned gentlemen,' a suf ficiently fiery and pugnacious race, were either,afraid of the garrisons, or scorned to come to blows with their inferiors. The 'low-downers' and small farmers, equally pugnacious, far less intelligent, and lilting on cheek-by-jowl terms with the negroes, were the persons who generally committed what were called outrages. -They vrould strike with whatever came handy; perhaps they would run for their guns, cock them, and swear to shoot; but there was no 'mur der. There had -been---shootings, • nit there had been concerted and formal whippings; that was during the contusion which followed the close of the war; that was mainly before my time. Such things were still known in other districts, but mine was ma exceptionally quiet one. "The negroes• themselves were not dis posed to violence. They are a peaceable, good-tempered set, and, unless when drunk, are no more likely to pick a fight than so many Chinamen. Whether it is a virtue to be pacific I cannot say. Anglo-Saxons are the most belligerent race, whether as indi viduals or as peoples, that the world now contains; and yet they have been of far greater service in advancing the interests of humanity than negroes or Chinamen; at least they will tell you so, and whip you into, ad mitting it. But if peaceableness is a • virtue, and has any promise of good in it, the negro is so far admirable, and gives hopes." “As We 5a11. 91 Curtis, in the last number of lletrper's, drops for a moment into that youthful tone of his which used to be so fascinating in "Prue and.

We ourselves readily admit that a 'moderate use of pure beer is as harmless as !tea and coffee, but if this pure beer inevitably contains one substance which is an active poison-=-namely, the alcohol of spirit—how 'much greater will be the injurious effect of ;an immoderate quantity of sophisticated or poisoned beer? About 500 persons die an nually of delirium tremens in England alone, while a much larger number are at tacked by the disease. Our most distinguish ed medical writers agree that about one-third of the insanity in Great Britain may, with 'certainty, be ascribed to drinking, and we all know that the children of drunkards are very' frequently,Adlotic. Quite recently, out of 300 idiots at Massachusetts, 145, or nearly 'hill; were fimnd to be the children of Imbitual drunkards. All terrible effects are of course heightened considerably by the habit ual Use of poisoned , beverages. In. theery every kind of beer can be produced by use of malt and hops alone; no other ingredients are required when,the process of , brewing is con ducted by honest ' and clever' men: ' Bat , in reality what an endless list of injurious Com- , pounds have we not detected in the 'widens beers, porters and ales recently' Submitted to our investigations!
