'"I. '*** VtiOld Fogles.”
BY THB BABD Of TOWER HALL.
. In these modern times a fast young man
, ~ .Who can smoke, chew, drink, and “ play,”
.. And ran up bills lor the olothee he wears,
The bills which he wIU never pay,
■ Thinks he is a man in wisdom ripe,
And what’s for the best can see;
Be does not want bis father’s advice —
“ A blind old fogie is he.”
A! fellow like this, one day last week,
Upon Market street was seen
■ ’ In a crowd of men’ who stood around
A ohrions, rare machine.
Among the rest was an aged man,
‘ -Whose locks were as white as snow;
He wished to see tho improvement made
- Since the days of long ago. ,
The;dandy 'thought,there'might be a chance
For a great display of .wit; -
And saidj-'fOld togfe, here’s.a mabhlne
. That may a bit, •-
“One into which old,fogies are put, '
■, l And then by a crank run through,;
They come ont youqg ? yon may think it strange,
Bat >tis notmore strange than true.”
The old mah answered, “ I’ve been pat through;
- • How I came ont 70a can see;
And six young men far better than yon
Were made of the ohips from me.”
The fast young man, was completely stunned
- By a shout and laughter peals;
He made no more display of wit,
But made a display of heels.
No one will doubtthatthe young man showed
More,of onothanoftheother. ,
We hope that he is (“ the mother’s son!”)
. jTlie only ran of his mother;
fAnd tmstthat.he, by the dose received, ■ >
Of hfs vain conceit was cured, - , -
> vAnd taught respeot ior the aged men,
* ~ - With minds by their years matnred.
Those with-thelr foreheads farrowed by time,
.< ; . Old fogies ,we should not oall,
For most old men with their judgment ripe
Bay clothes'at the Tower Ball.
And, doing ibis, an example set
For others to save their dimes;
. Which shows that they are not fogies, no!
Bat folly np to the times. .
Our sires and grandsires shonld command
-Respect from those that are young;
He who would them as “ old fogies” brand,
With the words should lose hie tongae.
We hope that all, at the' Tower Hall
Will clothing for life engage;
Be “up and dressed,” e’er doing their best
In keeping pace With the age.

ffIHE FOUR GOSPELS, WITH A COII-
X MENTARY—THE FOUR GOSPELS, according
to the Authorised Version, with Original and Selected
Parallel References and Marginal Readings, and an
Original and Copious Critical and Explanatory Com
mentary By the Bev. David Brown, D D . Professor,
Free Church College, Aberdeen. 12 mo. 50 cents.
NOTICES. ■ • <
This edition of the Gospels is certainly one of the
most remarkable ever leaned.- A small voluiqe, of .less
than ninety pages, contains,the four Gospels, with ex
cellent notes by Dr. Brown, and the price is only Flftt
oihts The volume is convenient for reference; and
the OhrlAtian traveller now finds it an eisy thing to
carry a Commentary of the four Gospels with him on
his journey. The notes are complied by one of Scotia’s
honored worthies, and generally ran page for page with
the. text The wisdom of the Professor was taxed to tbe
utmost In producing a Commentary that in learning is
up to the present standard of critioism, whilst In per
spicuity, it is adapted to the.ahderstanding of the mass
es. Dr. Brown frequently quotes from fitter, Atford,
Olsbausen, &o.‘; but the whole scope of his notes is
practical, with an evaugelioal spirit The type is, of
caufee, fine. This is, in fact, one of the excellencies of
the volume; for one of its' objects is to press as much
as possible into the smallest space. We predlot an exr
tensive sale for this admirable work.— Presbyterian

A Case of Insolvency*
Making it a point, when we g» ovorj-.our
■flies of foreign newspapers, to pay attontion
to the reported Law Proceedings, we sO'ihe
times fall upon curious and even amusing
eases. There are half a dozen of such ; pow
before us, hut we shall here allude to'only
ono. •> -
Tho Insolvent Debtors’ Court, 'ln
Portugal street, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, is an es
pecial “institution” of London, and harden
described, or allnded to, more than
Dlokens. Tho roading world cannot easily
forget Mr. Solomon Pell, who figures pihtty
extensively in the “Pickwick Papors,”>od
was a practitioner in that Court. A ceiftiiry
ago, there was scarcely any thing for Insolvent
Debtors,' except flight or hopeless imprison
ment. Every five or six years, with a view of
clearing the over-crowded prisons in the ine-,
tropolis and the provinces, an act of Porlla.
ment was.passod, mentioning each prisoner by
name, and. liberating him by special favo.r.J
Exactly one hundred years ago, what was
called the Lords’ Act was passed, which "ip.>
trodneed the principle that unfortunate honest
debtors, who had surrendered the whole'iof
their property, should be relieved ftoM 'far
ther claimß on the part of their creditors, and
liberated from prison. Several subsequent
Acts of Parliament extended the principle
and operation of the Lords’ Act; and the.
Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors.lias
now three Judges, the senior of whom, called
Chief Commissioner, has $lO,OOO per annum
as his salary, each of the other two . haying’ 1
$7,500. ' ; ,
Tho two Jnnlor aro, or have
boon, remarkable men. Ono is Charles Phil
lips, long known as the “ celebrated Irish ’
barrister,” specimens of whoso flowery fijo- .
quonco aro. to. be found Tn most of the
hlghor reading-books used in onr pnhlio.i
sohools. Between forty and fifty years.ago;
Chaelks Phillips was one ofthe most pojta-,
lar speakers in Iroland, and obtained great
celebrity by tbe liberal opinions which he ex
pressed, with groat earnestness and remarkable
powor of expression. The vory florid styjo
of his eloquence, however, drew down upon
it the severest ridicule from tho Quarterly iie
vuw and other critical tribunals, for Mr. Pari- .
lips had been so ill advised ,as to colleot hM
speeches and publish them in a volume,' 1 in'
1817. His professional career, more brilliant
than profitable in Iroland, changed its vetiue
in 1821, when he was called to tho English '
bar, and speedily obtained what Is called « Old ,
Bailey practice,” as a criminal lawyer in ,the. ,
Metropolitan Courts. Ho blbo went the
Oxford Circuit, and there had a fair share. ■
of Nisi Prius business. In 1832, during i{ie ■
Chancellorship of Lord Brougham,
always been bis warm friend, Mr. Phillips :
wss offered an Indian Judgeship; which wooid ;
have given &im a large income, and the honor' ■
of knighthood, with a retiring life-pension |
equal to his full salary,'after-seven yewrif. s
service, hut ho declined. Disgusted with.XtS ;
position at the bar, on acconnt of the aipjlf?
siong cast upon him for presumed miscoi}- 1 ]
duct in defending Codrvozsikr, the murderer ’•
of Lord William Russell, (aspersions since
shown' to bo unwarranted,) Mr. PUmups isb-! '
copted, ftom Lord Chancellor
1812, the office of'Commissioner of Bahk
ruptcy, in Liverpool, with a salaryaql;
$&,000 a year, Which, howev.6r, ; he..yk-. ,

smallersalary.;. - Llkethq renownediDt. Jowh/,
son, "he preferred London ,to any other'place
of residence, and might say, as the soctal
poet, Ceptaln Monats, sung—
“Oh give ms ths sweet nhUjtii. of l’.ll Stall.” -
In addition to the volume of his Speeches,'
Charles Phillips has successfully cultivated
letters. In his youoget days, ho published
ft poetical volume called “ The Emerald
Isle,” and on the death of Johh Pinnpor
Ourbah, who Was greatly attached to him,
fbqpgh their acquaintance did not commence
until the great patriot-lawyer had neatly
run his earthly courso, ho published <> Re
collections of Curran,” Whioh obtained
immediate popularity, and ran Into throe edi
tions in less than two years. Greatly en
larged, so much as Indeed to be almost a new
book, a fourth edition appeared in 1851 (re
published by the HArpers, of New York, in
1862,) as “ Curran and his Contemporaries,”
and Is ono of tho most delightful volumes of
biographical gossip overprinted. Not only
Currah himself, but all the notable Irish law
yers and politicians of his time are brought
before tho reader, as they lived, and worked,
and spoke, and moved in their public course,
as well as in their social intercourse. Lord
Brouuhah, incidentally noticing this Work)
lamehted that Cilarlies Phillips had not es
pecially devoted himself to literature, and
added “it has justly boon said of this ad
mirable Work that it is Boswell mintii
Bozzv.” At the English bar, discon
tinued tho figurative oratory whioh had won
him so much celebrity in his native land. Of
that species of eloquence, Currah himself
bad said that It romindod one of tho orange
tree—it took months to produce tho blossoms,
and a single rude blast (of criticism) could
shake them to tho ground.. Id 1823, when
Johh Tiiuktell was tried at Hertford, for the
murder of William Weare, Ills defence was
written by Charles Phillips, for the rale and
practice of English law, at that time and long
subsequent, was that persons under trial for
murder should not ho allowed the privilege of
addressing tho jury through counsel, although
they might have counsol’s aid in examining wit
nesses, &c. Thur Tell’s dofonco, written by
PniLLirs, was highly" rhetorical, but utterly
failed to convince the jury that ho was guilt
less. That trial was of extraordinary public
interest. The Gill’s Hill murder, as it was
called, was dramatised at the Surroy Theatre,
and drew immense houses for months. Tho
managor reproduced most of tho scenes, as
given in evidence, and popular excitemont was
stupendous at the nlioW, night after night, of
one of the performers representing Thurthll,
driving across tho stage the identical roan
horso and gig in whioh tho roal murderer had
convoyed tho body of his victim from ono
house to nnotlior. Fivo years after tho porpo
tration of tho crime, Sir Walter Soon, re
turning to Abbotsford ftom London, turnod
sovoral miles out of his way to visit tho sceno
ofthe murdor, and flllod several pages of his
Diary with an account of his pilgrimage. B y
tho way, Soon thought very highly of Thur
tell’s defence, considering It most credita
ble to Ohaeles Fhillits’s argumentative
powers.

The other Junior Commissioner in the In
solvent Court Is Francis Stack Murphy, Ser
geant-at-law, formerly member oi Parliament
for his native city of Cork, and nephew of the
late Dr. Murpiiy, Roman Catholic Bishop of
Cork, and one of the greatest book collectors
in Iroland. Born in 1807, Commissioner Mur*
pht is exactly twenty years younger than
Commissioner Phillips. Ho was considered
one of the best linguists in Trinity College,
Dublin, whilo an under-graduato there, and
obtained the classical gold medal in 1829. At
the English bar ho was so very successful that
he could afford to take the Sergeant’s coif iu
1842, after nine years’ practice. He was in
Parliament for nearly ton years, but made no
sonsation there, though a very eloquent man.
His votes were liberal. He was considered
to have rather sank himself by accepting
an Insolvency Commisslonership when he
might have had an Indian Judgeship, with five
times the emoluments, hut could not prevail
himself to abandon the pleasures of London
society. There Is no doubt that Commissioner
Murphy had some part, with Francis Ma
hony, in the authorship of the “Frout
Papers.” While Dr. Maqinn had voice po
tential in the management of Fraser ’* Afagu
z%ne f not only Mahony, Murphy, and Crqjton
OaoKBRj but many more from “tho
beautiful city Called’ Cork,” were welcomed
and well paid as contributors.
■ At this stage of our article, just when'
we had concluded our description of the judi
cial portion of the Insolvent Debtors' Court,
that Inexorable foreman and friend. of ours,
Mr. M. G. Hast, politely intimates that, if
wo have any regard for space, we* should finish'
what wo have to say, on Monday. We com
ply—but tho best part of the article. is to
come! *
News of Literature*
It scorns almost a neoeeslty of literature that
there shall always be some “ Battle of the Books.”
In this country, for several years, the battle has
boon on tho comparative merits of the dictionaries
of Webster and Worcester. Almost every editor
and author has an opinion, ono way or another,
. upon these dictionaries, Our own is dooldedly in
favor of Webster’s. As that work Is now before
the worldi it oOntains the result of thirty-elx
years’ constant labor bestowed upon it, by the
late Noah Webster. On three points it Is espe
oialiy reliable : 1, its definitions are olear, exact,
and.complete2, its derivations are remarkably
aoourate; 3, it is admirable as a pronouncing
dictionary. In a word, Webster’s, as it seoms to
. us, is eminently an American work, while Wor
cester’s, with Johnson undoubtedly as its basis, is,
at best, only Anglo-American. ’Distinguished
4>hol#re, at-'homo'lSnd abroad, hate- testified in
&vbr ■Cf 'Webster. Washington Irving/ Wl H <
Dafiiel' Webster, ' Horace Mann,' Jhred
Sparks, Lewis Cws, "Henry Olay, TiiomasH. Ben
ton, Robert 0. . Winthrop,, Charioellor Rent,
Judge Story, Dr. > W&yl&nd, .and others, have
publioly . testified as to, its value and relia
bility. Every man who writes, almost every man
who rends, gets on more comfortably with than
without u Webster ”at his elbow. He who wiites
desires to know tho various shades of meaning
whioh eaoh' word admits of; examples of Its use,
In eaoh sense; by standard authors; Its derivation,
as showing the original source. He who reads has
"the same requirements., To both a copy of Web
-bier ifl of* infinite value. Aooepted as it has boon
,&{nong us, for -so many years, as standard authori
ty, for spelling, derivation, meaning, and pronun
ciation, any attempt to take it out of the publio
-schools, and substitute a work oonstruoted on dif
ferent principles, would lead to hapless confusion.
For, by such a change, the parent and the child
would at onoe be placed in varianoe as to the con
struction, meaning, spoiling, sources and use of
their common mother tongue. We should be glad
to know the ex&ot number of “Webster” annu
ally printed by Messrs. MerriamJ of Springfield,
f\lassaohusetts, and our friends Mason Brothers, of
New York, and J. B. Lippinoott, of Philadelphia.
The number must be very great.

The January n umber of the North American
fievieuf has Just reached us, from Mr. W. B.
Sieber. There is a mitch greater variety of sub
jects than usual. The biographical articles are
particularly good, tho subjeots being Abelard,
Thomas do Qulncey, and Edmund Burko. The
able Reviewer enters minutely into Burke’s life,
and bis final judgment is that “few English states
men, indeed, are loss entitled to the praise of oen
siBtonoy;” that “Burko wag a poor man with very
expensive tastes, and there is reason to believe
that all his pecuniary transactions would not bear
avoryolose sorutibythat “it is Clear that
Burke's haßds wero not ontiroly free from stains,
and that the suspioioDS wbioh attach to bis pe
cuniary doalings aro not wholly unfounded;” that
“it would bo gross perversion of language to say
that ho was evor bribed; but bis relations with
Lord Rockingham wore oertainly hot thoso whloh
should exist among statesmen; nor are the oiroum
stances attending tho purchase of Beaconsileld so
o&sily explained as some of his eulogists hate con
tended.” Strangely enough, the Reviewer does
not notioe Burke's final acceptance from Pitt,
whom he had stronuously opposed for yoars, of an
unusually largo pension, with succession to his
wife, after he had abandoned his party.

Osnts : Are you aware that a through tioket
from New York to Nashville, Tennessee, can be
purchased At the office of the Camden and Amboy
Railroad Company, on the North River, in New
York oity. for $33? Are you aware that if you go
to tho Philadelphia, Wilmington, 1 and Baltimore
Railroad Company’s office, at Sixth and 'Chestnut
'streets, after you have paid $3 to the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company to get from New York
to this city, that you ofinnot purchase a through
ticket from hero to Nashville for $3O, but bavo to
pay $8 50 for a tiokot to Riohmond (bofore January
Ist, 1859, it was $10,) and at Riohmond you will
have to pay $27 40 to get a tioket from that point
to Nashville. Tho prosent penalty against Phila
delphia is only $5 00 on each through passengor;
boforo January Ist, 1859, it was $7 40.
Are yon aware that thisunjustsyatem is sapping
your business? or don’t you c&ro anything about
< it? for you seorato be fighting oity railroads, when
you ought to bo fighting foreign corporations. If
ibeeo roads will persist in their present unfair and
unjust tioket system, the Legislature should pass
a head tax, equal to the unjust discrimination, on
all passengers going North or South through our
State; tholawto be in forco so long, and no longer
than the unfair system is oarriod out by those
railroad companies.
Travellers should be nllowod to pass through
our great country without the least interruption;
but they should not be forced through our oity
when going North or South, undor a penalty of
$7 40 or $5.90 for each one.
Business men, I invoke your attention to this
matter. It is said that tho president of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Rail
road has resisted this unjust and that he
is now engagedin perfecting & more'just eystom—
I mean one more just to tho oity of Philadelphia
and the Keystone State. Jackson.

r « Runaway’s Eyes.”—The authoress of the
Stratford Gallery has done at least one .good
thing—she has V awaked the pert and nimble
spirits.” Her explanation of “ runaway’s,eyes,”
in the third hot of Romeo and Juliet, has stirred
in opposition no small deal of ipost excellent
fanoy, both grave and gay 1 . But we would suggest
whether, after all, it is enough simply to imagine
objeotions to Mrs. Palmer’s solution, without sup
plying a better. We have yet to see an interpre
tation so unforced, and on the whole so satisfac
tory. It is not entirely now —that of Douce, given
many years ago, was substantially the same—but
Mrs. Palmor deserves the oredit of setting it forth
with a sympathetic freshness that gives ft quite a
new cogency and ©harm.— N. 4. Courier and

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The'’Revival Now.' '
If we were called upon to state tbe present eon*
dition of things In the religious world, as com
pared with the manifestations in the Spring of
1868, so far at least as it applies to this oity, we
should say that the aggregate attendance upon
, daily worship, in localities where it is still kept
up, had peroeptibly - declined; that tho main
souroe of this deorease in numbers had been from
among non-professors who were once’ attracted
from curiosity; that the mere enthusiasm; as snob,
of these gatherings bad materially subsided; that
the meetings are now, relatively, more largely at
tended by professing Christians, and thatß'deeper
religious sentiment pervades these mootings 'now
than at any former.perlod since tho Revival com
menced. * - ■
Whether the hope entertained and expressed in
various quarters, of the Revival of *6O being
more thorough and universal than that of *5B, be
well founded or not, there are oertainly indica
tions in some places of a religions' interest un
equalled heretofore, and that the work is extend
ing in many sections now, where, six months ago,
it had yet made no perceptible impression.’ From
the intelligence brought tons through newspapers,
secular and teliglour, It would seism as if the
young ifaeh.of the Ohuroh had become impressed
with the cqUviotion'that the work of carrying the
Gospel of?J3alvatioh to the perishing belongs not
merely tp tbe few acknowledged olergy, bat tbalL
who bave( been baptised Into the faith. >
' 'From the .West .we learn that delegations are
being in the larger towns' to visit the
surrounding villages.. On Christmas day one of
these delegations Ooihmenoeda tour from Cincin
nati to Louisville, New Albany, Madison, Indiana
polis, and other important places, where It Is pro
posed to raise op similar organizations to visit
smaller towns and oountry places; for the purpose
of awakening a deeper religious interest among
the peoploi This movement is intended to he made
general throughout the West. In most oases
thoso ley missionaries have been reoelved with
marked favor in the plaoes they have visited.
From New York we learn that tho inauguration
of the New Year, on Saturday last, was auspicious
of—as tho Intelligencer has it—a glorious winter.
Nearly all the daily prayer-meetings were crowd
ed. Tho same was realized in Philadelphia. In
Boston, we are informed by one of ihefr journals,
that a greater amount of religious effort Is now
being put forth than'was evor known heretofore.
Their very first mon of business are taking hold
of what they feel to be a matter, too long neglected.
In short, from all quarters we have unmistakable
evidence that the great awakening, oommenoed a
i year ago, so far from having become eomnolent, is
still progressing, and exerting % an unseen but
powerful influence to.bring together in the bonds
of Christian fellowship true believers of every
name, regardless of all sectarian distinctions.
Sabbath School Adversary at St. Paul’s
Church. —One of the most interesting of this olass
of church services wehavo ever attended, was held
In St. Paul’s (Episcopal) Qhuroh, Third street
below Walnut,‘on last Sabbath afternoon, on the .
occasion of the forty-third Annivorsary of the
Sabbath sohool oonneoted with that ohuroh..
There wero about five hundred ohildren present,
the ontlre ohuroh being orowded with a congrega
tion to witnosa the exercises. Inside the obanoel
were oight clergymen of the Episcopal ohuroh, and
Dr. Patton, of the Cocgrog&tional ohuroh.
The address by the Reotor of St. Rev.
Rlohard Newton, D. D. was characterized
throughout with that facility for entertaining and
inßtrnoting tho mindß of ohildren which that
otorgyman so eminently possesses; his eubjoot was
*• The best loan—a loan to God.” At the close of
tho discourse the missionary offerings wero pre
sented, whioh amounted to the large sum of
$2,614-18--a very handsome contribution, certain
ly, for one year, of a single Sabbath sohool.
Tho progress of these offerings was highly inter
esting. Eaob olass was called by its missionary
name, whon one, of its members—generally l(s
youngest—stepped forward and presented in a
neatly designed oasket the collection,of that olass
for the year. One of these offerings was in the
form of a mustard tree, the fruit on it beiog repre
| sented by gold dollars. Another was presented In
i a little basket, containing five barley loaves and
two small fishes. Another was presented in a tiny
model of a sloop, the oargaaonsisting of ninety
dollars In gold,-aeoompanled. by an invoiee. The

Dr. Morlarty of this oity; his theme was u The
Roman Pontificate.” In commenting Upon the
leoture, the Pflot says—“ Tho disoourso might, in
brief, be styled a demonstration of the permanence
of the Pontificate, and its divino origin. It was
learned, eloquent, and argumentative, and so
orowded with historical proofs, that it was a mat
ter of astonishment to those who heard it how he
oould manage to concentrate such a mass of infor
mation into tho small space of a looture of ordina
ry length.”

the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have re

It is fair to estimate that the receipts daring
the onrrent fiscaVVear, under existing laws, wifi
realize a sum sufficient to redeem at least $BOO,OOO
of the publio debt, in addition to the sum of $220-
645 01, paid during the last month out of revenues
whioh belonged to the last year, and whioh were
not applied to that purpose, at an earlier day, by.
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, under tt\e
belief that its retention in.the Treasury would be
required for the February Interest.
The-present prosperous condition of the Sta{e
finances has: been produced by the unifornroml
wilUng .disposition manifested by the tax-pavers
to submit toaU-dwaandawpon-theia, rathevtaao
the faith of -the Commonwealth should be tarhfsh- '
ed.. To them alone is the credit of this gratifying
and anspioious result. In the darkest hour of
flnanoial distress and embarrassment, they de*.
naanded and justifled heavy increased taxation,
the payment of. whioh has enabled the State to
meet all demandsnpon the Treasury, and to oreate
a! fund that will gradually and steadily extinguish
thepubtio debt. * 1
