As subJecta to her throne.

Her mandates all n y ;
And thus are Mande " Not genteel!"
Who do not own her sway.

She fixes, the style of out
For whiskers and for hair;
And no moustache can grace a ram
To win a lady's mole,
'Unless 'tie straightened out or curled
In Fashion's latest style.
Her tad r madams must on hoops
Spread out their crinoline,
Ap_d sweep the pavement when they walk,
With edge or satins fine.
Their waists must bs genteel in size,
Though stem and Itringe :Am kl.ll,

SATURDAY, DEGEDIKR 17, MN
Holiday Books.
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

as the messenger of thought, our friend sank to hie

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.

sustained with all the ardor and ability of a. well.

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

TWO. CENTS.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
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.

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

In October last,) is printed entire; Alen, an article

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

TEETEBANCE AND THE REClFAL.—lreland,
there is reafson to hope, is fact becoming again,
under the infirlence of the Divine spirit, a 'ober'
nation. In Wales, aln, religion and tem;
perance are closely linked together. Rev. J.
Roes, in his letter to The Patriot, ated
Sept. iffth, speaking of Ireland, says : "Whiskey.
drinking, heretofore a frightful ETD, tidying out."
Rev. J. Graham, In a letter, a portion or which
appeared In ThoParrrot of October 13th, speaking
of Ulster, says: "The besetting sin of Ulster, as
of Scotland - the sin that opens the flood-gates of
all immorality—was the love of strong drink, In
dulged in potations of whiskey. Men were
beastialited and families beggared by this pre
vailing vice. I do not remember seeing Lone
drunken person in my resent visit to Ireland.
The young converts shun ardent spirits as the
source of previous sin and misery; and the uni

prevailed, drinking and its consequent vines pro
portionately d itappeared."—N. Indtpendost.

CATHOLIC.—The number of Catholics in the Man-
Haus Is over one hundred thousand, and there are
not more than ten priests to administee to the
spiritual wente of these brave colonists, who are
fully alive to the necessity of religion and its sooth
ing influenoes. The Government, aware of the dis
proportion between the pastors and the people.
agreed to increase the number of priests in pro
portion to every four thousand Catholics. The
priests are paid by the Colonial Government, to
gather with receiving a liberal allowance for an
outfit.

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.
