Tilings Literary/ In this country, as woll as) in England, there is Unusual activity in the publishing trade. From tho last number ot tho American Pub lishers’ Circular, ably edited by Charles Rode, wo learn what is in hand at Now York and Boston. Harper & Brothers announce titty sis now books, on almost overy variety of subjects—history, biography, travel, fletioii, soionco, poetry, philology, and religion. J). Appleton h Company have about a score of announcements, also of a varied charaotor, as well as a vatioty of Gift books, many of them richly illustrated, witii some titty new Juve niles. Crosby, Nichols, k Lee, of Boston, have.,tho complete works of Schiller and Goethe in tho press. Brown & Taggard are steadily getting on with thoir new and beauti ful edition of tho works oi Francis Bacon, tiro groat author of tho « Novum Orgaueni” Lit flo, Brown, & Company, liavo tho new edition of die Encyclopaedia Britannica nearly com pleted i for .the twenty-first volume, which closes tho work, is now in press at Edinburgh. Sheldon & Company have Bean Milman’s History of Latin Christianity fully under way; tliohirst volume, whioh is beautifully printed, Was Issued a fortnight ago. Derby & Jackson tiro bringing out “The Loves and Heroines of tho I’oets,” a holiday book, uniform with “ Tho Court of Napoleon,” with twelve real and ideal portraits, and also Mary Forrest’s .‘Women of tho South, Distinguished in Li terature,” with seven portraits. J. R Lippin cott & Company also he-a a now Holiday book nearly ready, and E. H. Butler k Com pany are also busy in the same way, besides turning out, every rVoek, an immense quantity tif Mitchell’s and other school-books. T. B. Peterson & Brothors announce “ The Crossed Path,” a new story by Wilkie Gdllins, and will bavo Fredorika Bremer’s new travels in Switzerland and Italy ready in a fow weeks. Lastly, Ticknor & Fields announce “ Home Ballads and Poems,” by John G. Whittier, and new works by Ralph Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, J. R. Lowell, Horace Mann, Theodore Parker, Bayard Taylor, Hopworth Dixon, IVinthrop Sargent, Rose Tjrry, Co. veDtry Patmore, “Grace Greenwood,” Wil liam Allingham, Sigaor Kufliui, and others, as well as “ Hesperia,” by tho late R, H. Wilde, author of tho well-known, lyric “My Lite is Liko a Summer Rose.” Uniform with their Household Edition of tho Waverley Novels, they promise Scott’s “ Tales of a Grandfath er,” and J. G. Lockhart’s “ Life of Sir Walter Seott ” the best literary biography in the language, with the exception of Boswell’s Johnson; these books will be illustrated. Turning from what American publishers are doing, wo come to what they lately havo done. Let the pas bo yielded to a story of in , tonsest interest and great power, written by J. Vincent Huntington, (author ot “Lady Alico,” “Do Forest,’’ and other popular Works,) which ho calls “ Rosemary; or, Life and Death.” It is published by D. and J. Sadlier, of New York, and first appeared in tho New York Tablet, one of the most valuable, because one ot tho most ably and carefully edited, Catholic journals in Ame rica. Mr. Hnntington was formerly a clergy man of tho Protestant Episcopal Church, but Went over to Rome, several years ago. Un. liko tho majority of converts, ho is a mode rate man, and does not bolievo that sorvico is to bo rendered to his adopted faith by sneer ing at or ahnaing that which ho has declined. “Rosemary,” therefore, though the leading characters are Catholics, is hot a eonifovoSiftJ -1 book: the politics rather than the faith of Catholicity arc. discussed by him, nnd these very slightly. “Bosomary” is tho best novel, treating of fashionable life in Now York, yet published. For tho most part, such fictions are mere guess-work, hut Jlr. Hun. tington has moved in (ho circle which ho de scribes so graphically. The conduct of the Btory is novel—the opening especially so. The narrative runs rapidly on, without stay or digression, and each character is distinctly drawn—though, of course, sonio aro more fully developed than others. The story is full of romance, sometimes approaching the wonders related by French writers, hut impro bability is avoided. In a word, « Boscmnry ” may bo read with ploasure by young nnd old, and wo say, for ourself, that it greatly fasci nated us. Evory one who has mentioned this book to us gives the same opinion. Because Mr. Huntington is a very accomplished writer, who should have avoided such carelessness, wo tako leave to point out a few errors in composition. He has no right to say “She was rather a remarkablo person, though, tear Miss Tankorville,” when tho line should ho “ Miss TanUervillo, though, was rather a ro markablo person.” This mode of expression occurs several times. “ Who road nothing hut stories, and sensation ones at that,” is too familiar, and «Dr. Mannikin, who knew the rope is liable to (ho samo objection. To say that a lady “ was found to measure five feet exact,” is as had as the error of one of our own ignorant stupids who wroto of a lady that “ she was dressed etegant.” In page 468, too, filth lino from tho top, does not tho charming heroine—with whom wo are hopelessly in love—speak a little too plainly, in her utter innocence, to her attached swain l Wo mention tlieso slips of tho pen, because, for tho most part, Mr. Huntington draws from « a well of English un defiled.” But tho book is wonderfully inter esting, and wo strongly recommend it. Difierent, and much interior, is “ Dora Bar ton, tho Banker’s Ward, a Tale of Koal Life in New York,” by Charles Burdett. Wo must say that tho view of New York sociotyhcro given shows no familiar knowledge of tho sub ject. Tho adventures want probability, and the discovery of tho Jerome’s identity, by means of strawberry marks on hor arms, has been ridiculed in “ Box and Cox,” where ono man asks “ Have you a strawberry mark on your arm I” Tho reply is “No,” and then the querist throws himself upon his triend’s breast, exclaiming “ Then, you arc my long lost brother I” Edmond About’s amusing story, “Lo Koi des Montagues,” published in Paris iour yearn ago, has at last found a translator. Mary L. Booth,'(author of a most readable “History ot Now York,”) has translated it with marked ability—as might have been cxpoctcd from hor version of “ Gormaine,” also by M. About. “ Tho King of the Mountains,” pub lished by J. E. Tilton, Boston, is a light and lively romance, crowded with ineredibio inci dents, but fairly taking hold of tho loader and pinning him to his chair until ho has read all through it. There aro various nationalities drawn hero—American, German, English, and Groek. The story is so dramatic that, only a few weeks ago, Mr. Tom Taylor, who has yet 76 .77 ... -.78 _79 to write a play out of his own head, (ovon his « Still Waters run Doep ” was borrowed from, tho French,) lately introduced it, at tho Ly ceum Theatre, in London, under the titlo of “The Brigand and his Banker,” and had it ad vertised as “anew and original comic drama.” He did not adopt it with his usual ability and tact, for tho play was ft distinguish ed failure on tho first night. Tho Lon don Critic, indignant at Mr. Taylor’s not once giving M. About tho slightest credit for his work, showed, iu an articlo six columns in length, (including numerous pa rallel quotations from itsolf and tho original French novel,) that the “ new and original” play was bodily taken—characters, plot, and dialogue—from “LoßoidesMontagnes,”and says on the first night of performance it was “ most righteously hissed.” Tho Critic thus concludes its notice •• “ The person who has most reason to complain in this matter is cer tainly Mmc. Coleste.

Tlio book bears the titld of “Leaves of Grass,” and tho author is “TYalt 'Whitman.” Several years ago he startled tbo reading public with a volume somo two-thirds smaller than the present. It was plain*spoken,evon to coarseness, and Mr. Whitman, who writes, as other men light, “upon his muscle,” attracted considerable notice at the time—partly because of tbo au dacity with which ho lifted tho veil from thoughts and things which, by common con sent among- civilized people, decency has thrown over them; partly because bo was specially endorsed by Mi*. Emerson, the sensi tive gentleman who exclaimed that tho dan cing of infamous Fanny Ellslor was “ reli gion.” Mr. Whitman has found rcspectablo Boston publishers (Thayer & EJdridgo) to bring out a new and greatly-enlarged edition of bis writings— poems thoy are not—in a volume of 450 pages. We should wrong our judgment were we to say that in somo fifteen thousand lines, there aro not many original ideas, many felicitous expressions, many truths boldly set forth. But, for tho most part, it is otherwise. Even the form of poetry, savo that tho book consists of linos of irrogu lar length, which are occasionally rythmical, is not attended to boro. For example, here aro three of Mr. Whitman's consccutivo linos: 110 was a good fellow, froe-mouthed, quick tempered, not bad-looklng, ablo to tako his own part, sensitive to a slight, ready with lifo or death fora friend, fond of women, gambled, ate heartily, drank hearty, had known what it was to be flash, grow low spirited toward the last, sickened, was helpod by a contribution, died, aged forty one yeara—and that was his funeral.

Tho Paris correspondent of tho Loudon ’limes rolates tho following; A soldier named JJce, of tho First Regiment of Light Infantry, of the Imperial Guard, was tried by tho military tribunal for swindling. It ap peared that a fow days back, in paying a visit to an acquaintance, ho mot a oouple named Baillot, and, in course of conversation with them, learned that the woman bad a brother named Delfour, a watchmaker by trado. The next day the soldier went to Dolfour’s shop, and clasping him heartily by tho band, asked bow he was. “Quite well, thank you ,* but really I have not tho pleasure of knowing you,” was the answer. “ Not xnow me— an intimate friend of your brother-in-law, Baillet! Besides, do you not remomber that last year, before tbe campaign in Italy, you sold me a watob ? A good one it was, too, but I lost it—stolon by tho Austrians in tbo battle of Solferino. However, I will buy another; and I can do that, my door Delfour, for I have just como into a little legacy of 2,000 f.” On hearing him speak of 2,000 f .( Delfour produced a number of watches, and tho soldier, after a oareful inspection, selected one with a chain. White ho was examining tho artiole, he talked in a most cordial manner, and so pleased tbo watohinaker that he invited him to dinner. After the repast, the soldier insisted on Delfour and his wifo accompanying him to a cafe, but, on roflobing the door, he wont awey, saying he would go for hts friend Baillot flo never returned, and oarriod off tbo watob, though ho bad not paid for it. A day or two after, Delfour seeing nothing of him, wont to his barraoks. and there Toarnod that ho had sold the wafeh for 30f. and a bottle of wine.

TWO CENTS. RELIGIOUS. Young Men’s Central Home Mission* ITS FIELD, LABORS AND PROSPECTS. About seven years ago, early in 1853, a number of young men in this oity, under tho auspices of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, organized them selves into a society tof the following purposes i Holding religiousservices In destituteplaoes; esta blishing Sandny-echboJa wherever practicable; distributing the IVoid of God in* j rinted form, and Soaking out and. educotitg destitute children. All 6f„ sesa pbjecta have received the constant and increasing attention of the Mission from the start, but, as we presently see, this sphere of ban®, fioonoe has boen widened In each a way as to effect the temporal, as well.as the spiritual amelioration of the flDfortanate poor, in the "locality to which the society’s operations are ibalniy cdhfmed.' The field selected l&i tbf3 htfemnework ’ ether* in rotate sefed'o Pttohi r.fl eatet* > prise,- the vicinity of Bgdftinl-nud Baker tpo (( Esve Points’! of. Philadelphia. i Bedford street, where the Mission House is now located, between Sixth and Seventh, bad as it still is, was in seme respects much worse-when the Mission . commenced.its operations. Instead of .find.ing the. gutters and cellar-cloore lined with the dnjfcKeh of* 1 all ages, colors, and aexefc at air’hours of the day, the squallor and degradation -are of a ; tooTe indoor character.. .From ’ the start, preiohing *erviceß were held, nrd oh effort was made to gather the childron intpsohoola to instruct, and save then), if possible, fcpm the double curse of besotted parent age and. ignorance. As the sooioty gained, strength it procured a site, and erected a house, at acost of nine thousand dollars, answering at once the purposo of school-rooms and chapel, and in 1855 the liev. B. T Sewell was appointed the re sident missionary to superintend personally tbo workings oi the enterprise, and from whose faithful labors we have reason to believe that alroady much good has resulted. T he experienco of a visit (o the mission house and vicinity, on Thursday last, corroborated this opinion. In the third storyof tho building wero' some hundred and fifty boys,end girls, apparently from sevon to thirteen years of ago, engaged in the exercises of their afternoon session. They were, to be sure, the most uncared-for and pWerty-fitrioken set of urchins, in appearance, that could Well bo ’ imagined, some of the boyshaving on mere raga of pantaloons that did not cover their knees, and nearly; all wero without shoes. This* at first, did 1 not argae muoh for thoir improved condition, but what is yet to follow will undeceive the reader, a* it did the writor. With scarcely a stogie excep tion, every child in tho iocin was either the ofF sprlng of one or two drunken parents, who had, in most-cases, no other-visible means of sopport than stealing) and who live in filthy cellars and lofts, alongside of which the. stables for brotes on the premises of any respectable farmer in Fennsyl vania would bo a comfortable dwelling Even the olothingof the children, such as they are are in most oases provided by tho Boreas Booiety of the Mission. In famishing a suit, they are obliged to retain the one for which it is substituted, in order to prevent the parent* from taking the garment furnished eff and pawning it for rum. It may be stated, in this connection, for the information of the benevolent, that the Boreas Society have usu ally given a pair of shoes at this season of the year to each child, but that their empty treasury has this year rendered them unable to do so- It is to : be hoped that a knowledge of this fact will be suffi cient to' insure the usual shoe donation without delay. Our tour through tho schools, and afterwards among too hovels in the neighborhood, was made in company with Mr. Sewell, who detailed a few speoimeu biographies of the boys before us. Borne, when they first came, Btole everything they could lay hands upon, piohed tho teachers’ pockets, and even carried away the keys House to sell for old iron. At. first, also, to preserve anything like ordeh, as soon as the scholars wero gathered in it td lock the doors to keep them'in. Not a fow of tender years would come there at nine o’clock in the meriting stupefied with liquor given ihem by-their parents as part of their breakfast. Boipe of tho latter oases still exist. One boy of twelve years, registered on the books, has spent four days in prison during tho present week for getting drank ! A large proportion of tho beys are either tho sons or brothers of the coiorious u Moya mensing Killers ” Tho reader will judge from ‘ this with what sort of materials this Mission have to deal, and that if out of it they snoceed in bring ing any respectable, eober men and women, tfaeir labor is not in vain. This they ore doiDg. Out of some four hundred and fifty children, gathered in from tho commencement, about one hundred and fifty have gone out proficiont in the ordinary branches, and a large proportion of them have, by the consent of their j arents, been placed in situa tions away from tho oity, where they are earning a respectable living; and some of tho girls here taught, are now teaching iu our publio schools. The Mission has acted wisely in trying to save the young, as from the depths into whioh the adults are mainly sunk, restoration is utterly im practicable, although it must not bo over looked that the Mission Churoh hore es tablished, in whioh there is preaching every every Sunday, and religious services five nights In thowook, baa now one hundred and twenty-five members. During the past summer there was also out-door piooohing every Sunday afternoon at vari&us paints in the vioiuity, under the auspices of tho Mission. But to return to the school in third story : The Principal, Miss £. Stevenson, and her assistants, apply themselves with a Christian heroism that our citizens should do all in their power to encourage. Most thoroughly have they succeeded in bringing order oat of chaos. When prayer was offered, as is usual at the oponing of each cession, every child knoelod end remained perfectly quiet until toe prayer was concluded. The Principal thon, to to3t their momory, asked them to recite, collectively, certain passagos of Scripture, meroly giving thorn tho numberof chap ter and verso, which they did repoatedly with en tire accuracy—also tho ten commandments. They next united in singing several hymns. Wo then entered the Infant department, in the second story, presided over by Miss Sewell, where we found a similar juvenile spectacle, only os s smaller scalo. Tho ages bore varied from three to seven years, the rule being to retain them in this department only until they begin to spoil. Al though clothed in rag 3 ef charity, with most of their little faces not indicating even a speaking acquaintance with soap and water, their hair un combed, and many of them disfigured with horrid sores and bruisos, yet there was upon the whole muoh to interest in their appearanoa. Wise casu ists may prate about the unreasonableness of im posing upon a child tho penalty of his parents’ guilt, and “ visiting tho iniquity of tho fathers upon tho childron unto tho third and fourth gene rations,” yet the fact exists, as any one may read upon tho faces of those poor children. Yon der is a girl of only six years, with tho die of in cipient licentiousness printed upon her conn cenance as unmistakably ns if it were cast in a mould oopied from Hudibras Some of fheso little ones aro tho fruit of sin in its most disgusting form. Not t «o all. There is a little blue-eyed, flaxen haired girl, of probably fivo years, with a sweet countenance, that the most refined mother might be proud to oall hor own ; and by her side is an other of tho same ago, a very beautiful child, and lineal descendant of tho tender-eyed Leah, showing tho marks of her Jewish parentage in ovory lineament of hor face- On ono of the rear benches, on the boys’ side, is a little fellow with sallow face and sal countenance with a moral head on him that would bear com parison with tho head of Father Obcrlin, and by his side is a little negro, ns black as ebony. It is significant that hero; in this sink of low-life and wretchedness, tho u scolal equality” between tbo black and white races finds its best vindication The equality here is ucqucstionable, for both are so low that humanity can go no lower. The case of tho colored man, John Hall, who was oonvioted in our courts a year ago for murdering his twelfth while wife , (having bad fourteen in ell,) in this locality, though an aggravated oase, is not isolated in character. And it is, hence, one of tho first objects of tho Mission to sunder this equality of white children with the blacks, by elevating their self-respect. Not but] that there are many blachs who are socially above the whites in Bedford street; nevertheless, that is eithor a mook or senti mental philanthropy which fayara an equality bo tween two races which their Groator has seen fit to soparate by lines, which-nothing but tbe orime of amalgamation oan over obliterate. Beforo leaving-this room, an opportunity waß also afforded to witness their oxeroises, tho most touching of which was the hymns ohaunted by that unison of tiny voioes about “ The love of Jesus ” Tho doings of tho Mission among the adult population, and the cases of distress encoun tered in our tour, will have to be deferred for a future article. It is an enterprise dependent solely upon chaiity for support. Tho “Five Points” Mission in New York receives an annual appropriation from tho Public School fund of $2,300; but ovoxy dollar expended in this is from private ! contributions. Tho conducting of the schools alette costs about §1,500 annually, and at least as muoh more is required properly to meet the necessities of such adults as show a willing ness ro rtfoim if they can be assisted in ihe at* tempt. Surely tho appeal of Euoh an Institution should rneot ft generous mpoisoat the hands of tho Christian community; for certainly the mere giving, by those who have abundance to spare, is WEEKIiY PRESS. »h* Weiblt Faxia Will,to tent to autoenton bt mail (per awmia, in odranoa,) 4t.
