Slinky, (Jesus of Nazareth : His Life and Teachings) , we.

The hook is printed on tinted paper, quarto,, i'and has an ornamental appearance. There are . numerous full-page illustrations, many • being reductions from Dore's Bible; for instance,the " Jephtb ah's Daughter Bewailing her Vir , ginity" is a reduction of the large 'painting on exhibition at the Somerville Gallery, New ',York, among the Dore pictures. Delaroche's well-known "Infant Moses," with designs by other artists, is included.—Harper & Brothers . qiublish thishandsonae keepsake vohune. Loring, of. Boston, who has proved his taste by selecting for publication some of the most captivating stories of the day, issues simultaneously with the English edition a new tale by the author of " Faith Gartney's Girl hoed," Mra. A. D. T. Whitney. It has the rather oracular title of " Hitherto : a Story of Yesterdays." Mrs. Whitney has the rare power of infusing the moral of Christian truth into the homeliest, most realistic and tiaost trivial ' incidents of everyday life. . The reader is kept amused with her familiar fidelity to humble experience, while imbibing the best lessons' of vital, thinking Christianity. The hero of the present novel is a soul manly, tender and generous, "Richard • Hathaway ;" corresponding to him is the femi nine ideal, expressed in "Hope Devine," the true, bright, spiritual creature who carries strength and sympathy wherever she goes; while on a lower grade, but more lifelike and fas cinating still, we find the impulsive, "chaotic," struggling nature of "Anstiss." 'The imaginary eareerof these 'beings justifies the, dignity of life, and clears away someof the niemlclouds that perplex existence. • Loring is also the American publisher of *!David Elginbrod,"—a grand granitic forma tion of Scotch worth and dignity, by that true poet the author of "Annals of a Quiet Neigh borhood." Mr. McDonald has 'succeeded iu delineating a hardy Scotch peasant with, ranch of the skill and love displayed •by Scott. a contrasting character is the young Englishman who, after crossing David's path and becoming one of his family, travels South and sees his pure North British friend no more. With his after-experience is interwoven, along with the teaching, influential and , seminal recollection - of the noble peasant, a vein of biology and mystery, very Scotch and vroiseniblable in character, which gives a peculiar, half uncanny power to these passages of the book. "Luck and Pluck," a boys' story which had success in Ballot's Magazine during the year just expiring, is collected by its talented author, Horatio Alger; Jr., into a volume, and issued by Loring as the first of a series of six volumes, designed . to illustrate the truth that manly spirit is .superior to the favors of fortune. The hero of the present tale, John Oakley, passes though an adventurous career with a patient fortitude, and a detertnination to conquer, very valuable as an example. "The Soprano" is the title of a musical story published en brochure by Loring. The author, whose true name is Barnard, unsexes himself on the title-page and adopts the ?win of " Jane Kingsford." Enthusiasts in music will find a real charm in this melodious tale; and, if they happen to know many Bostonians, can hardly fail to vecogniie several of the characters, which are speaking likenesses of live citizens of the Hub. "Lamps; Pitchers and Trumpets." Second series. By Edwin Paxton IMO.. This series consists of five lectures On the Pulpit of our Age and Time ; on Arrangements of Texts by Division; on Written and Extemporary Ser mons; on Effective Preaching and the Founda tion of Legitimate Success, and on the Mental Tools and Apparatus needful for the Pulpit. The aboVe precepts are further exemplified in a series of "Pulpit" Monographs," wherein the author analyzes with considerable acute ness and generally with good taste, the distinguishing merits of famous preachers, and it will sufficiently indicate the 'catholicity of his spirit to say that the names he has chosen for commendation are those of Robertson, Pusey, Maiming, New man, Spurgeon, Lacordaire, and ThomaS Binney. Out of this list of names the author chooses one for his own guiding star. Spur geon's practical and wideawake style is the style admired by Mr. Hood, and the lectures and sketches are consequently readable and enter taining. It is•rare to Lind religious sketches so - enjoyably done. The-..pictures of Lacordaire and of Spurgeon are most vivacious kit-cats, full of likeness and animation. Published by` M. W. Dodd, and for sale by Porter & Coates and Lippincott & Co. The same publisher issues the American edition of “The,, Spanish Barber," a work , just written by the author of "Mary Powell" - and "The Household of Sir Thomas More" now known to be Miss Anne Manning. This work, in the opinion of a not very respectful English critic, is spoiled by its goodness, or goody-goodness: "Miss Manning's story (says the Athena:tun book reviler, who evidently comes to his task with a special indigestion) is apparently written for the purpose of what is termed in the Exe ter Hall vernacular, 'doing the good work.' A certain lay figure is set tbr the converted sin ner, who goes on converting other sinners in a style of simple addition quite delightful to con template. Given a Spanish Barber, locality • Gibraltar, who shaves a lay figure named Cara- Arantes (probably so called because the Barber quotes. Cervantes, and boasts that he knows the adventures of the Knight of La Mancha by heart, proverbs and all); the shavee converts the shaver at once, the shaver his wife; thky quote texts, and the shaver decides to close his shop Sunday;on this naturally curtails his trade, but he pursues the 'good work.' Leaving his wife in the charge of and to b.e maintained by Lir parents, he crosses to Oran as a colporteur laden with a sack of tracts, lie lends a shiver-; ing Jew his cloak, 'WM returns it by the hailds. of , his son, a del to yoOth, consumptive, of.i ceirse. he yo!k , g JaW ta converted; ejais.

An announcement just made by the pub lishers of Every Saturday must be placed among the more important literary news of the - comingyear. 'The paper' is to be illustrated and completely changed in , form, adopting,the general . style and size of Harper's TVeekiy,,; without, hoWever, Altering the character of its, literary contents. Messrs. 'Melds, Osgood .&', Co. promise to make 'it athe handsomest il lustrated papevin America." The illustrations ; are to be engraved from designs' by leadng European artists, including . Faed, Firth, Sir- -- Francis •Grant, _ Charles Keene, Leighton, Marcus Stone, 'DU Maurier, and Harrison Weir; and they are to embrace views ,of famous places, incidents of life and, travel, pottraits of living celebrities,"and copies of celebrated paintings. From the similarity of the advertisements the Tribune critic. udges that Every Saturday purposes reproducing the best cuts from the new English weekly, The Graphic. The effeet 'of' this' new,, programme may result in giving us something as good as The illustrated .Londea .News.' EVERETT AND CHOATE. How Whey Prepared and Published Their Public Addresses. A correspondent of the Boston Journal, who had a conversation with the late Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, while on a journey front Cleveland to Buflalo, says: "He gave Me an interesting page from his history connected with his addresses. He said that from the earliest start he had been ac customed to commit to memory his speeches. In writing an address, he wrote a page and then committed it. If he was about to visit a place where there Was the least probability of Ida making an addiessy or of speaking, he would search for some historic event or matter of local interest, write and commit. If he was called to speak unawares, he put :his thoughtS down immediately after his return home, and wrote out such a sketch as he ' would have de= livered. When he was settled in Brattle Street Church, Boston, he was a mere stripling. He resolved to read nothing, but to prepare his sermons with great- care and commit them; Some of the elder members of his flock were made nervous by his temerity. Seeing a mere lad stand up in the pulpit, without a scrap of paper with him, filled them with alarm• lest he should . break doWn, and • thus des troy all their enjoyment. Mr. Everett was requested to. take notes with him into the pulpit. Wishing to accommodate his friends, and resolute in his purpose not to. read his sermons, he comprothised the matter. He took into the pulpit a sermon he was not preaching, and occasionally turning over the leaves, quieted the nerves of his anxious friends. Under this constant and severe disci pline his memory became as tenacious, as'sup ple and obedient as the fingers of a well trained organist. The reading of a lecture or sermon twice enabled him to commit it per fectly: He regarded the time when he gave his celebrated Phi Beta oration in the presence of Lafayette as that when he stood on the sum mit of success as an orator. "The strength of Mr. Choate's memory was one of the most remarkable things about that remarkable man. He not only read everything, but he remembered everything he read. He knew where the book was in- which the de sired information could be found, the very page, and the precise location of the book in the library where it happened to be. While trying the celebrated sewing machine case before Judge Woodbury I beard him request a friend to go to the Athenaeum and get him 'a volume of a set published by. Chambers. The article he wanted was on the manufacture of silk. He described, the set, the room in which. it was kept, and the - very spot in the library where it could be found. He wrote down nearly everything in a case that he could. The act of writing fastened the thing in his memory, and it was ready for instant use. In the trial of a cause he kept two sets of notes—one the testi mony, the other a digest and the argument. He was ready to argue a case the moment the testimony closed. His memory enabled him to talk on any subject introduced. He was at home on the black-letter law, knew familiarly the intricate English law of entail, and could discuss the laws of any nation as intelligibly as he could a common act of assault and bat tery. 1 walked with him from the court-house on Saturday previous to the delivery of his celebrated eulogy on Webster before Dartmouth College. He had been be fore the United States ,Court conducting an Intricate trial, the beat like that of a tropi cal climate. He went into the barber's shop under the Bromfield House, for he said, I must be shampooned daily, or I should die' The eulogy on Webster, I think, was to be delivered on Tuesday. This was Saturday, and the intervening Monday was to be con sumed on the journey to Hanover. I said to him, Of course, your eulogy on Webster is completed.' He drew hiinsell up to his full height, and laying his hand on my shoulder, he said, Mr. —, as I live; not a word of that eulogy is written.' Yet ft was delivered as announced—deliv ered without; notes, fully written out, and committed in the writing. I knew one instance in which he completed his lecture at the office a short time before the train started that was to carry him to his appointment. He left - the manuscript on his desk, and gave the lecture, lie said, as near verbatim as lie desired to, and that without a scrap before him. He was very careful of the wordings of his motions „before the higher courts. His phraseology was. peculiar. Having written his motion an a scrap of paper, he usually crumpled it in kis hand and threw it on the floor as he rose to address the bench. I have frequently picked up these jottings, and some of them .1 have to this day." —About a dozen years ago, the Roams lived at Leavenworth, the father of Vinnie being the landlord of the Shawnee House. After wards the family removed to Wyandotte, and Ream senior kept the Eldridge House. On the journey to Wyandotte, Miss Ream drove the cow, and went with her shapely feet bare to save her shoes. She worked about the hotel at washing dishes, and was remarkable for nothing save her being an uncommonly pretty, plump little girl, with very bright eyes. If she had artistic tastes or aspirations, none of the boarders of the " Shawnee" or the " Eldridge " ever found it out: They ate - the hash which Vinnie's fair hand served up, and never dreamed that the same hand would ever mould statues at the Capitol.—Kansas Record. —A strange scene recently occurred in the Antwerp Cathedral on the occasion of the christening of the son of a tailor named Baerts. Just as the priest was about to com mence the ceremony, the Dean entered and ordered him to stop. Then, turning to the godfather, M. Herlein, a bookseller, ho said : "You cannot be sponsor, ' you sell wicked books." The person addressed.replied : "I do what I can to get a living ; I sell Catholic books as I do others." The other' retorted : "I consider you as ex-communicated, leave the church ;" and then addressing the beadle, !I You shall act as godfather ex-Vic/v." The religious rite was then administered, the: in dignant father quitting the sacred edifice and leaving behind the nurse with the child. At the end, on being asked who was to pay the fees, she replied : "Oh ' the new sponsor, of course !" and withdrew triumphantly with the baby.
