From Mr. Hazard, Chestnut street, we have re ceived a 'apply of books, most of them illustrated, published by Appletons, New York, and especially intended for young people. Among these are " Prince Charlie," a history of the Young Pre tender, by Meredith Johnes, with eight inners- Hoes, by M. S. Morgan—a true romance, well re lated ;—" Great Farts," a popular history and de scription of the most remarkable inventions during the present century, by F. C. Bakewell, an able book by a well-informed man, and eopioualy illus trated. Also, for younger readers still, "New Night-Cape," and " Baby Night-Caps." Mr. Ha zard's stock, from all publishers, is very large. I. B. Lippincott & Co. have, just ready, a 'superb volume, the "Parable' of our Lord," illustrated by John Franklin, an English artist, who has the devotional feeling of Overbook, the German, with out his occasional statuesque stiffness and manner ism. We bad a bare glimpse of this book, some weeks ago, and it was splendid in every respect. From Messrs. Lippincott we have received two books, published by Ticknor .4 Fields, of Boston, which may be safely placed in the hands of young people—yes, and of their cantors too. One is "Tom Brown's Schooldays at Rugby," printed on cream-tinted paper, bound In cloth extra, and with outline illustrations by Larkin G. Mead, Jr., an artist who here shows fair promise. This book, one of the healthiest in tone ever written, de serves to be thus beautifully brought out. It shows how the best public school in England was conducted. The other volume is "Kingston's An nual for Boys for 1880," profusely illustrated. Mr. Kingston, whose first Christmas book, entitled " Peter the Whaler," is known every where, here presents the juvenile world with such a melange of fast and fancy, romance and reality, u they rarely meet with between two covers. The 1192 e publishers will immediately issue Dr. Holmes' Professor at the Breakfast Table, Charles Kings ley's New Miscellanies, and Captain MeClintook'e Narrative of his last Arctic Expedition, and have just brought out, finely illustrated, Young Mack entle's translation of the Adventures of Master Tyll Owlglass—the Eutentplegel of Germany. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, 308 Chestnut greet, have a great variety of 'holiday beaks, American and English. Their own publications, well adapt ed for presents, are complete edltions,'ln many sorts of binding, of the works of Dickens and Scott. They have just issued a twenty-five-cants edition of Scott's Tales of a Grandfather Their five edi tions of Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" are selling very largely. In four handsome volume, neatly got up and well illustrated, Messrs. Peterson have brought out the whole works of "Doeitioks"—one of the raciest ofmodern humorists. From Messrs. Peterson we have received two new works, published by Harper t Brothers, New York. One is a "Popular History of the United States," by Mary Ilowitt, the English poet; SIB other Is "The Diary of a Samaritan," by a mem ber of the Howard Association of New Orleans, showing what that association, with kindred insti tutions, did in Mobile, 1n1E139, and In New Orleans, In 1841 and 1813, during the fatal epidemic' which raged in those titles. What Is hero related is full of deep and sometimes painful interest. What was done in the Epidemic of 1855 will probably be related in a future volume. As for Mrs. Ifowittfa history of the United States, it Is written with great ears and an evident desire to be impartial. The work was destined for English readers, bet will bear to be transplanted to this soil. Talking of Christmas books, we must remind our readers that "The Poets of the Nineteenth Century," edited by Wilmot t Duyekinek, and illustrated by the best, artists in Maarten and England, pub lished by the Harpers, last year, is always in season, as a gift book of peculiar and permanent value. Always in season, too, will be the two gift-books edited by Professor Coppbe, and published by B. H. Butler .t Co , South Fourth street. The first of these, which appeared a year ago, is the " Gal lery of Famous Poets ;" the companion volume, which has just appeared, is a " Gallery of Distin guished English and American Female Poets." Both volumes contain well•seleoted gems of poetry ; both are richly and appropriately Illus trated I both are superbly got up with an enrtdble luxuriance of print, paper, and binding. Most of the engravings have been created at T. M. But ler's, (whose "Washington at Valley Forge" we take shame for not having yet noticed,) and are very good, of course. The frontispiece to the " Female Poets," a view by James Hamilton, the best marine painter of America—our Stanfield, In feet—la such a glorious blending of earth, water, and air that we think It entitles him also to be called the American Creswiok. ALICE'S DREAM. A Tale of Chrintmas time. By Mem. ANN WHIT...KIR. Boston I WaUte, Wise, C co. 1/369. This is an exquisite little book for the family circle, the produotion of an able and elear•eighted woman, who has her heart In the right place. Under the form of an interesting Christmas story, it aims to open to the youthful mind clear views of the unerring wisdom and unfailing goodness of the Divine Provident.. At the same time that it interests and amuses, it instils...into the heart a love for virtue and a good life; and the power of the author in commanding the attention of the young reader steadily to the end of the book, is fully equalled by her adroitness in showing, with out lecturing, the unsealing loVe of God in his dealings with his children upon earth. We can recommend "Alice's Dream" as a really good book, one that the moat careful parent-may give hie child without hesitation, certain that it will exert only a !salutary !nil nonce. Obituary. JOSEPH R. MORRIS. OF MEDIA It rarely fa lie to our lot, as journalists, to record the death and commemorate the virtues of a friend 60 young, so honored, and so gifted, as the lamented gentleman whose name is at the head of this arti cle. With truth It can be said, that death prefers a bright and shining mark at which to level his most fatal arrows. In the instance before us, swift as the messenger of thought, our friend sank to hie final repose, without a moment's notice or a warn ing signal. In the full flush of apparent health, with honors daily accumulating upon his bead, the dread enemy of man summoned him to a cold em brace, end be fell to the ground a lifeless corpse Death, in any form he may approach hie victim, even though deprived of his terrors by the voice of an elevating religion, still causes hearts to be riven and feelings to be lacerated. Bat, 0 ! what anguish he excites, and what ties of friendship he ruthlessly severs, when ho burial hie poisoned abaft In the heart that is beating healthily in indication of a protracted existence ! Such was the end of our generous and estimable friend. If modest merit ever had a truthful exponent, the life and character of Joseph B. Morris was its bright exemplar. Unassuming in his deportment, yet ardent la his friendship, he appeared to those who know him best, and enjoyed the privilege of his society, as the very embodiment of a chivalric nature. To a mind well stored with legal and ge neral knowledge, he added those high social qua. litter which always endear their possessor to the friendly circle, and make his loss the more poig nant and incurable. Though young in years, be had made his mark upon the politics of our State, and impressed our jurisprudence with the streogth of his Intellect. As the acknowledged leader of the honest Demooraoy of Delaware county, he, of course, was the friend and oompanion of the lion. John Waltman, whose re-election to Congress he sustained with all the ardor and ability of a. well. trained mind and truthful purpose. We have often listened to his eloquent addresses in behalf of popular sovereignty, and felt the glow of indignation rise in our minds as he denounced the fraud practised upon Democratio principles, by one whom he had labored so earnestly to have ale voted to the highest dignity in our Government. Strong In hie own Integrity, he relied upon the pledges given at Cincinnati, and having assured the people of Delaware county that the National Convention and its candidate for the Presidency were simians in their declarations, he felt himself dishonored when those declarations were wantonly violated. Ills manly nature compelled him to re ed so gross an imposition.. Had he done other wise, he would have been a participant in the treachery. Hastily as our friend has left us, we shall over remember his virtues, and endeavor to emulate the nobility of his nature. Deep as is the borrow of his family and friends, they have much to console them in the reflection that " His life was gentle—and the elements So mix'd in him. that Nature might stand up Anil say to all the world—this was a man Er Mrs. Trollope, the elder, still sojourns at Florence. She is now nearly eighty years old, and her rapidly failing faculties shut her out from society entirely. Mrs. Trollope, the younger, is in exceedingly delicate health.

Sermon by Rev. Joseph F. Berg, D. ,r). We have received, in neat pamphlet for m, a copy of Rev. Dr. Berg's sermon, preached on Thanksgiving . Day, November 24, before — the United Reformed Dutch congregations of this city; In the church, corner of Tenth and Filbert streets. It is entitled "Loyalty a Christian Obligation," and Is founded upon verses 1,2, and 8 of the 118th Psalm. After assuming that :We conntry presents Substantially the form of government presoribed by Jehovah to the Israelites, the author proceeds with his analysis of the peculiar blessing *lsiah we enjoy as a nation, of which our agricultural ad vantages are Snit considered. The male thought or the discourse, however, turns upon the ascend head—the loyalty of the people to the Conststn. Bon and Government of the country. 'ln this some of the razed questions of the day are pre sented in the light of Revelation; in which devo tion to the Federal Compact is held up as a Christian duty, and the existence of this devotion designated us a motive of national thanksgiving. The view taken of the slavery question, in this connection, is rational and conoillatory. Those who regard identity with a government recognising slavery, as political leprosy, are reminded that by God's own appointment slavery (hereditary servi tude) existed in the only republic which was ever endowed with an inspired code for its administra tion, and the man whc; is ignorant of this fact, it is assumed, him read his Bible to little purpose. That great evils attached to the system is not der Med, but it le affirmed on tlatipture authority that Involuntary certitude per se Is not link!. The Gospel, however, it is added, abolishes none of the relations of social life; neither does it preach the tidings of emancipation by fire and blood. " Ser vants obey your masters," and numerous other texts are give% with, the avowed purpose of amt• ling the clamors of an insane philanthropy. The outlawry which teaches slaves the right of insub ordination, it is said, finds nothing to warrant it in the religion of Jeans Christ, but is rather the hiss of the serpent, as the Gaspe! of loons:notion Is not from God, and hence the advocacy of such sentiments is held to be a disgrace to any Christian pulpit. The position is taken that strvies, no matter in what position, can be made honorable, seisms it is wrought for CArtst's sale; and that, instead of servitude being debasing, when so performed, it became the best passport to immortality, That there are odious features In the alive code, It is contended, does not affect the argument. Neither Is it assumed that fanaticism is wholly confined north of Meson and Dixon's line. The attempt to reopen the slave trade—to revive the horrors of the middlo passage—is regarded as a diagnose to civilisation. God's law In no instanae sanctioned piraoy. The sermon, whieb concludes with a brief Donal deration of our untrammelled religious liberty, Is written in the usual strong and forcible style of its author, and its circulation, which has already been large, will do good at this particular juncture. The sermon hse been published at the request of members of the-rirst, Second, and Third Reformed Dutch Churches of this city, respectively presided over by Revs. A. A. WiWts, Joseph F. Berg, D. D., and W. J. R. Taylor. GRORGE STORRS' " Blanc ERAMIXES. i '—Tbet January number of the Bade Examiner, publish ed and edited by George Storrs, the well-known Second-Adventist, has been handed tons. Itja devoted mainly to the Bible questions, and es peoially to the themes of Christ's personal return to and reign upon earth. This periodical was oom menood several years ago, but was suspended. With its revival now, the editor expresses his de termination to make it the untrammelled medium for honest inquiry and argument upon religions topics. In the number before us, the sermon of the publisher, entitled "Earth, not Heaven, the in heritance of the Sainte," (a sketch of which ap peared in The Press upon Its delivery in this city In October last,) is printed entire; Alen, an article on the " Destruction of Mystic Babylon," and nu merous editorials and lettere upon subjects of more, or leas interest to the religions world. Rev. On. BETRUNZ TN A NIA PARISR.—Rev. Dr. Bethune has a call to a church in New York, and it is understood that he will accept it. It 13 almost the last church in the city from which it would have been supposed that he would have ac cepted a call. It is the Twenty-first-street Re. formed Dutch Church, situated not far from the Fifth avenue. It was never large nor wealth. The house is neat and churchly, but small. It will seat not far from six hundred persona, and has no gallery but one on the end far the chair. The ohureh has now a pastor to whom only a nominal. salary has been Patti-for years. Be is one of the wealthiest men in the oily, and belt to wealth al most untold. To this church Dr. Beene has been called as associate pastor, and It is said be has accepted the call. The pastor gives up his whole salary to Dr. Bethune, and twenty men, per sonal friends of Dr. 8., have pledged themselves to pay $lOO each a year for two years, to raise a sala ry of $5,000 to pay the co-pastor. Dr. Bethune is to preach each Sabbath morning, and Rev. Dr. Van Nest each afternoon.—Ameriran PruEyrs rian.

At II meeting of the Controllers of Public Schools, First District of Pennsylvania, held at the Con trollers' chamber. on Tuesday, December 13, 19.9, the following report, with the remintion attached, was reeihred and rea, and, on the qttendon Shall it be adopted I "the year and nays were required, by 3f essrs Dutenbary and Ilartutosad were as follows: YlLAS—Mnisra.

Nays—Sane. Roasts J. HIZTEILL, Secretary. To this Board of Contro llers: Iho committee appointed at the apecial meeting of the Board. held on the 24th October, 1559. to rotest ageing the parrege of an ordinance by Louncile appropriating $3.00 to alter the Sprip; Garden Hill for the use of the Board, That they hare given the wittiest their eftention, and submit to the Board the Mowing remotes why the location of the office almelti tot be changed: Farm. The prevent tunnel rent of the rooms of the Board is $9OO, which includes the out of heat ing; while the property, known as the Spring Garden Ball, estimated at a low valuation, it worth 440.000 This MS, with the additional aBOO, which has been appropriated to lit up the second Boor of that bai l for the reception of this Board, would make the rent alone of tie suit room amount to $2,500 per annum, instead of $5 O OO, as at present paid. The east of heating would n•Lturally increase the expenditure; ee that, on the e'er* of economy, the expediency of the proposed ehang• must be emphatically denied. Second. The TOOLD3 at present ertnWeed are fitted up, furnished, and convenient. Tir.y ate central. and consequently easy of acee. as from all parts of the city. They are near the other caces of the eilygOTerlanlellt, with whirls it is nemosry to have eommindeation, stieh as the City Control ler's office, Treasurer's office. de.; in theft, they are in every way well adapted to the trar_saetion of the manifold ditties of this Board, to the ems sonic:ice of its members, and to that of thousands whose business requires them to make calls at the office. Oa the other band the location of the Spring Garden Hall is in one of the most ctit-of tlie.way places in the city, and It is inconveni ently distant from all of the other effiees of the city government with which this Board bold s con. strait Intercourse. In evidence of this, the well known foot might be stated that, daring the part of the fleet year after the passage or the corm/da tion act. the City Councils met in the Spring Gar den Hall. and so unsuitable. inconvenient, and ch jectionable did they find it to be that they kept the contractors at work, night and day, fitting tip the present Council chambers; and such win the hurry of members to leave their unsuitable quar ters that they actually moved Into their present place of meeting before they were completely finished. Oa the score of donvenlemee then, the expediency of the change must be de nied;l and the members of the Board feel that their conveni ence should be consulted, whenever it is porible to do so, as their serrates are gratuitously given ; and, with reference to that convenience, as well as to all requirements necessary to direct, manage, or sustain the Public School system, the Controllers believe themselves better qualified to judge than members of Lamella are. Third. The members of this Board derive their powers from the same source as the City Connally, and the laws that leave the Conr.cils free to select their own place of meeting, leave the Controllers free to do the same ; therefore the right of Ceunrili to designate the place where this Board should meet is directly denied. No "Act of Assembly" giv es Council such a power; and the proposed change was brought *boot without consulting this Board In relation to it. Since, therefore, neither for economy nor for an• sentence, nor yet by right, can Councils IDAe the proposed change, your committee would offer the following resolution for your eonsideration : Resolrld, That City Councils be requested to di rect the Commissioner of City Property not to ex pend the corn of $1,600 for the tampon of altering the second story of the Spring Garden Hall fur the office of thiteßoard, it being in oar opinion a use less expenditure of public Money ; since it is for an object neither economical nor expedient, nei th er asked for by us, or Cleared.
