ILLUSTRATED CHRISTMAS BOOKS have
abounded, this season. This style of publi•
cation has taken the plaelkof the Annuals of
the Olden Time. Instead of plates in steel,
we have the most exquisite mood engravings,
executed by the first artists. With finest
paper, rioh antique bindings, and artistic
" illumination " thrown on the pages, prose
authors as well as of poetry and song, these
guinen•books may well take their place
among tho remarkable literary triumphs of
the timei;:,

was too true and unanswerable to be allowed
to appear. Chambers is nominally of the
old Prelatic party in Scotland, and this
partly accounts for his stabs at the immor
tal reputation of our Covenanting Father%
Of Dr. Guthriele new work, "Christ and
the Inheritance of the Saints," nearly eight
thousand copies were sold on the day of
publication. It is as pictorial and powerful
as his "Gospel in Ezekiel." '
The most successful book of the season
has been Miss Chsrlsworth's " Ministry of
Life," of which nearly sixteen thousand
have already been sold. Her " Ministering
Children " has reached a circulation of for
ty.seven thousand. These books should be
in every family. They stimulate to self•sa
crifioing benevolence, and holy, practical
charity.
Mr. Mamie, a Free Church minister,
author of "The Faithful Promiser," has just
published " The Story of Bethlehem," which
is also very popular.
A new story, called "The Minister's
Wooing," by Mrs. Stowe, is being published
here, in monthly parts.
The Romanista have got out a forged
edition of ts Miele Tom," by a trick similar
to that of Neal's, the Tractarian's treatment

asserting his faith in the Immaculate Con
ception
A new work, by Mro. Mortimer, entitled
"More About Jesus," has been issued.
Seven thousand copies were at once sub
scribed for by the trade. Of her "Peep of
Day," no less than one hundred and twenty
seven thousand copies have been sold.
We have, also a fifth edition of "Gilfillan's
Bards of the Bible," (a book which I have
always thought borders on the profane, and
is full of self glorification, by a most eon
ceited author;) vols. three and font of
" Hengstenberg's Christology of the Old
Testament ;" "St. Paul's Epistle to the
Corinthians," compared with the Greek, by
Dr. Etidie ) of Glasgow; a " Translation of
Cardinal Cajetan's Judgment (A.. D. 1515,)
against the Immaculate Conception ;" "The
Life 'and Times of Carey, Marshman, and
Ward, including a History of the Serampore
Mission ;" and a volume of hitherto unpub
lished sermons of Robert MoCheyne, with
the title of " Revival Truth ;"—these are the
most recent of our Religious publications.
The Tractarians continue to publish their
insidious "Tales and Tracts ;" but a more
elaborate performance has just seen the
light. It is called "Direetoriunt , Ang/i
-canton, being a Manual of Directions for
the right Celebration of the Holy Com
munion, for the saying of Matins, and Even-
Song, and for the Performance of other
Rites and Ceremonies according to an
cient usages of the Church of England."
This work shows how intensely the love
of Ritualism is cherished by a most
dangerous party, and h'ow determined
they are in their resolves to revive " an
oient" uses of Anglicanism before the
Reformation, if they can.
In BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY, we have
the last Journals of Horace Walpole; Gui
zot's Memories of My own Time ; Journal
kept during the Great French Revolution,
by Mrs. Dalrymple, said to have been writ
ten by desire of George III.; Dr. Doran's
New Pictures and Old Panels; a History of
British Journalisn, from the foundation of
the Newspaper, and Sketches of Press Ce

; Minturn's New York to Delhi, (al
reedy noticed, and reprinted from the Ameri

the Covets of the Pacific; and the late Mad

Lord Macaulay is again assailed as to his
"attacks on the reputation of William Penn,
(persistent even after Mr. Hepworth Dix
011'8 reply,) as we have now an "Inquiry
into the Evidence," by Mr. Paget, a Bar
rister.
We also have in shilling monthly parte, a
People's Edition of Sydney Smith's Works.
Thaokary continues his " Virginians," sar
castic and cynical against the " shams" of
of society. Dickens has not been writing,
but has been reading his " Christmas Carol,"
and other pieces, to large audiences during
the holidays. Albert Smith is home from
China with a bran•new Entertainment, full
of facts from, and illustrations of, the man
ners of the Celestials. •
As to the FINE ARTS, POE'RRY, AND THE
SCIENCES, I have room to say little. An
1861 Exhibition," was recently announced
from the Chair of the Society of. Arts, (the
Times predicts failure;) and a new "Palace
for the People," at Dluswell Hill, (North
Suburb of London,) have been extensively
advertised. I have already referred to Il
lustrated Christmas Books, to which I might
, add many more of a more permanently in
teresting character.
There is to be a grand new India Office,
as well as new Foreigii Offices, (Mr. Scott,
the Architect of the latter, is the grandson
of the Commentator,) at the West End, op.
polite Whitehall, in a magnificent style ;
also, a noble Statue erected to the memory
of Havelock, in Trafalgar Square:
At public sales, Engravings of the highest
order, continue to be sold, either separately
or in connexion with "Illustrated Works."
The representatives of the late Rev. R.
Sheepehanke, M. A., Fellow of Trinity
College, Cambridge, have offered $lO,OOO
to the University, toward the promotion of
the Science of Astronomy, on terms which
doubtless will be accepted.
A new room has been opened at the Brit.
igh Museum, devoted chiefly to the vegeta.
tien of Southern climates, including plants
and seeds, sections of trees, showing their
-structure, and specimens of woods, rough
and polished—an exceedingly interesting
collection.
The Centennary of the birth of Robert
Burns, is about to be observed this month,
with general enthusiasm. Mrs. Begg, his
youngest sister, died on the 4th of Decem
ber, in her 88th year, leaving two daughters.
Half of a £7O annual income expired at
her death. Doubtless the daughters will be
provided for by centenary contributions.
Not lees than seven hundred manuscript
poems, in honor of Burns, have been aent in
to the Directors of the Crystal Palace Com
pany. A prize of fifty guineas, and fame,
will reward the successful candidate.
Collections of the antique are still sought
after, and the rich ornament their dwellings
therewith. Theie are plenty of dealers to
cater for, and tempt. Thus, in the Times ;
we have the following advertisement :
WANTED to pitrchase, old parchments and
writings, autograph letters, ancient and modern
boOks, manuscripts, old missals, miniatures,
Oriental relies, oil portraits or paintings on wood,
ancient costumes, lace, jewels, rings, bronzes, a..
Then we have another, offering for sale
Greek medals, including a silver tryphon, a
gold Berenice, some fine gnomes, Syrian
tetradrachms, and one thousand bronze
medals of illustrious men.
AMERICAN LITERATURE is in increasing
demand. Scribner & Co., and Sampson,
Low, Son & Co., import largely, and they
must have good reasons to do so. Of
" Peasant Life in Germany," by Mrs. Anna
C. Johnson, the Spectator says that it is
"unquestionably an able, substantial, and
remarkable book." We have also " The
Atlantic Souvenir for 1859," reminding us
of the olden days of English Annuals. I
have not seen "The New Testament trans
lated from the original G-reek, with Chron
ological Arrangement of the Sacred Books,
and Improved Divisions of the Chapters
and Verses, by 'Leicester Ambrose Sawyer,"
(of the United States;) bat my opinion of
it would be of little value, as I presume
American Divines have already " pro
nounced" on its merits.
Cardinal Mair's " Codes Vataeanism," is
now published. We have also an American
Illustrated Book, "An Angel over the
Right Shoulder," by the author of "Sunny
Side!'
PHOTOGRAPHY is achieving marvelous
triumphs, as also Printing in Colors. Of
the latter, we have "Studies,from the
Great Masters," Murillo, &c , two beautiful
plates, at two shillings, and which are truly
" copies of oil paintings." Indeed, as speci
mens of the art of printing in colors, they
have never been surpassed. Of photography,
one of the most remarkable triumphs is the
copying of the famous Cartoons of Raphael,
at Hampton Court. When there, last Sum
mer, I saw one of the great Cartoon's turned
upside down I I asked the reason, and was
told that this was necessary for the copying,
by photography, of these glorious paintings,
for the use of that great patroness of Art,

EASTERN SUMMARY:,
BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND.
The Public Lectures, for the present season,
have been, for the most part, a failure ; not more
than one or two can be considered to have been
a 611C001319. And the same thing is true through
out the country. A traveler like Bayard Taylor,
or a man of science like Prof. Mitchell, never
fails to draw an audience, and to meet the expec
tations of hearers. But the mere lecturer, with
his prettineeses, conceits, and weird-like utter
ances, has tired the public ear, and a respite from
such deliverances is demanded ; and it iebelieved
that the infidelity, though concealed as much as
possible, that some of the most popular lecturers
sought to infuse quietly and unperceived, has had
much to do in bringing the whole system into
disrepute. The public taste has not yet become
so thoroughly vitiated as to relish, for any length
of time, that kind of food.
The Death of Wm. H. Prescott, the historian of
the "Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella," of the
" Conquest of Mexico," of the " Conquest of
Peru," of the "Cloister Life," of "Charles V.,"
and " Philip will.be sincerely regretted, not
only throughout this country, but also in Europe.
He died suddenly, on the 28th ult.„ from an
attack of paralysis, in the 65th year of his age.
His father was William Prescott, a celebrated
jurist of Boston, and his grandfather, Col. Wm.
Prescott, was one of the heroes of Bunker Hill.
He graduated with high honors at Harvard, in
•1814; but just previous to this, an accident
nearly destroyed one of his eyes, and the other
suffered much from sympathy. Afterwards he
was sent abroad for travel, to rest his eyes, and
obtain the advice of distinguished surgeons.
But he never wholly recovered. He was for a
time entirely blind. Nevertheless, his mental
activity was unremitting, his researches in old
libraries, and among dusty records, were un
ceasing, and continually did be make new acqui
sitions to the rich treasures from which the
voltimes nit which his fame is to rest, were to be
taken. His characters and descriptions are
among the most admired of the modern masters
of the English language, but at the same time
they are wanting in genial and hearty humanity.
The Boston Publishers continue to announce
forthcoming works of sterling excellence. Oar
friends, Messrs. Gould & Lincoln, are about to
republish the lectures so highly commended in
the last number of the Princeton Review, and
which are now producing quite a sensation in
intellectual circles in England, "The Limits of
Religious Thought," by the Rev. B. L. Mansell,
D.D. The fact that a book bears the imprint of
this house, is strong testimony to its value.
The sum of $45,000 has been secured for the
Re• Endowment of the Professorships at Andover
Theological Seminary. Some time ago, a sub
scription for another fund, of the same amount;
was commenced, to be expended in the erection
of a new library building and chapel, and the in
crease of the fund for indigent students. But
the increase of the beneficiary fund was sus
pended, on account of the hard times. It is now
proposed to renew the efforts for its completion,
as a thousand dollars annually is necessary to
meet the deficit in the income • of the present fund
for this object.
Thus far, the Winter has been dory severe in
some parts of New England. In the districts
among the White Mountains, the snow has fallen
to the depth of four and five feet, while the ther
mometer has ranged from twenty•four to forty
degrees below zero.
NEW YORK.
One Fruitful Source of vice and corruption
among the boys of this great city, is the many
and vile low theatres. There they spend their
evenings, -waste their money, and hear and see
incitements to the basest passions. A bill has
just passed the Senate, prohibiting the admission
of boys altogether to the theatres, unless accom
panied by some adult person. But even if this
bill should ever become a law, it will have but
little effect, since the methods of evading it are
so many and so virions. It is too bad that these
public peets, with their attendant grog shops and
vices, should be allowed to corrupt vast multi
tudes to such a degree that all the power of
philanthropy cannot rescue them. But these
are only doing in a grosser and more offensive
way, and on a lower plane of society, what the
higher classes of theatres (if such a distinction
can be made,) are doing in a more refined and
genteel'way, on a more elevated plane.
The Burma' Centennial Anniversary was cele
brated in several different places, by different
Societies. An oration on Scotland's favorite poet,
was made in the Cooper Institute, by Henry
Ward Beecher, and at the supper at the Astor
House, telling speeches were made by several
speakers. At several of the entertainments, a
vast amount of mieerable stuff, styled Scotch
whiskey, in the form of punch, was drunk, and
a large portion of "haggis," the famous Scotch
pudding, eaten. • The next day beheld many dull
eyes and aching heads, from the same cause that
inflicted so mush injury on their favorite bard.
The subject of Temperance, is again attracting
much attention in.. New York and Brooklyn.
Large meetings have been held, and stirring ad
dresses have been delivered by some of the most
effective speakers. The evils of intemperance'
have become so obvious, and the drinking cus
toms. of society have been so fearfully revived,
that it is time for every philanthropist and Chris
tian to engage zealously in checking and destroy
ing the demon that revels in the misery, of which
he himself is the author. The friends of Tem
perance are divided in sentiment as to the course
to be pursued, but it is to be hoped that union
and harmony will yet prevail, so that the great
cause will be effectually promoted. One thing is
certain, the friends of temperance must not allow
themselves to be involved in the schemes of mere
political aspirants. In time past this has nearly
proved fatal to the cause.
The Book• Publishing Business in this city, is
exceedingly prosperous. No class of business
men passed the "crisis"of last year so safely,
in the end, as the publishers. To-day, their
credit is undoubted, and a most promising future
opens before them.
Notwithstanding the many meetings that have
been held, awl the , many other attractions at this
season of the year, the lectures of Profesaor Nita
eid have been attended by great concourses, of
people, who have been greatly gratified and in
structed.
A Preece is now in contemplation for opening
the Academy of Music one night in each week,
for a lecture on some subject in Art, Literature,
or Science, the admission for which shall be
small, so that the people usually excluded from
such entertainments, may be induced to attend
where the surroundings are so attractive.
The Reformed Dutch Church has determined to
establish a mission in ripen. The Rev. B. D.
Brown, now of Oswego, and who has already seen
eight years of missionary service in. China, is to
be the first laborer sent out.
Mr. William C. Conant, as a counterpart to the
daily prayer-meetings, is about to publish a small
religious sheet, called the Daily Message, " with,"
ae he says, "the paramount object of publishing
the Gospel every day and everywhere; based on
the unqualified consecration of profit and , power,
which: ought to be the foundation of every;Cbrie
tleat's business ; courting an immense circulation,
by a fixed and unchangeable ; pride of One Cent ;
and employing all the advertising profits incident
to such a circulation, at once to perfect it in every
News-paper excellence that can enlarge and
strengthen its grasp of the public mind, and to
consecrate upon its supreme object a sanctified
talent able to utillet all that power for Gon."
PHILADELPHIA.
The Improvement in good order and safety in
this city, is quite evident. At no time since the
Consolidation, has there been as much peace and
as little crime, as since Mayor Henry dompleted
his pollee arrangements. •
Curious Paper has been lately brought to
light, which, although it bears a date no more
ancient than 1833, reveals a state of opinion that
we did not suppose existed, at that time, in any
American city. It is nothing more nor less than
a remonstrance against lighting with gas, on ao.
count of its ignitable and explosive character,
and on account of the supposed injury that would
be done to the purity of the waters of the Dela
ware and Schuylkill, and to the'fishes inhabiting
them. To this paper the names of some of the
leading citizens are appended, and among others
the name of the gentleman who is now Chief En.
gineer to the Gas Company.
The Streets - ,
for some time, have been remarka
bly quiet on. he Sabbath, owing to the fact that
no omnibuses or oars were permitted to be run on
that day. Even when one of th e city raihoade
made an arrangement with the Camden and Am
boy Railroad, which runs its Express trains on
on the Sabbath. to carry its passengers through
the city, on the Sabbath, to the Baltimore depot,
Mayor Henry interfered sod put a stop to the
violation of the law, and the desecration of
holy time. But, for some time, persistent efforts
have been made to induce the Councils to rescind
the law, and a majority of one in favor of such
action has been secured in the Common Connell ;
yet strong hopes are entertained that it wiU be
defeated in the other branch.
• The Presbyterian suggests to the Young Men's
Christian Association, the propriety of turning
their attention toward the work of Evangelizing
the Council Chambers,'along with other places
now the objects of their care. •
The .New Mission Church, erected principally
under the auspices of the church of which the
Rev. John Chambers is pastor, on South Street,
near Twenty-Second,: has been dedicated with
the usual ceremonies. During the services, pick
pockets were in attendance, and engaged in their
usual business. Some of them were detected in
their operations, and after &pretty smart pursuit,
were safely caged.
The Philadelphia Sabbath School Association
continues its active and successful efforts in es
tablishing Sabbath Schools in destitute places.
Through its instrumentality, seventy-nine school.,
with .seven thousand pupils and seven hundred
teachers, have been established, while two thou
sand .children have been brought into schools

The Young Men's _ Mercantile Library As
sociatia and Mechanics' Institute.
The tenth annual report of this valuable Insti-"
Wien was made, a short time ago, by F. B.
Breunot, Esq. It is a document of great interest
to Pittsburghere, but it would require too much
space, for insertion in our columns.
The increase in membership, during the last
year, was one hundred and forty nine, making
the present number four hundred and fifty-seven.
This seems to us a very limited membership for a
city like Pittsburgh. The number of volumes
added to the Library, during the year, was two
hundred and fifty-one, making a total of three
thousand and eleven in the library.
Incipient arrangements are being made for the
erection of a large, convenient, and tasteful build
ing, for the purposes of the Association. To this
end, and for the increase of the library, a large
liberality on the part of our citizens is needed.
And, surely the end to be accomplished is worthy
of each liberality. It is rather a shame for Pitts
burgh, that in this respect, she is considerably
behind some cities, not much older nor more pop
ulous than she. Attention being now awaked to
his subject, hopes may be entertained of a vig
orous devotion to Its interests.
One thing evidently and easily within the reach
of our people, is an inorease in the membership.
This will enlarge the funds and promote every
benefit w hioh numbers can advance. Possibly a
little more personal effort, and a much freer use
of the newspaper might be highly beneficial. An
enthusiasm needs to be got up, and in a cause so
worthy, and among a community possessing so
much mind and wealth, it is not to be doubted
but that efforts in this line would be successfuL
The system of having Lectures Is now not so
popular as it once was, and the Association does
not prosecute it with the same vigor as formerly.
But it does have a few, when those whioh are
truly valuable can be obtained. That of BAYARD
TAYLOR, ESQ., last week, was admirable, and La
fayette Hall was thronged with an appreciating
audience. The Lecture, this week,' by Hon.
CALEB LYON was also sample of such literary
entertainments as will draw a full house, and re
ward both managers and hearers
PeEmsylvania, Militia.
The Adjutant General of the Commonwealth,
regards the new militia law as a decided improve
ment, and wants it to have a fair trial. He ad.
vocates the permanent establishment of a military
department at Harrisburg. We have now in the
Commonwealth thirteen thousand uniformed vol
unteers, and the total number' of citizens capable
of bearing arms is throe hundred and fifty thou
sand.
Agriculture.'
At a late meeting of the Managers, of the Al
legheny County Agricultural Society, a Committee
reported that they had obtained nearly $2,000, on
subscription, for the Farm High School.
It was
Resolved, That an invitation be extended to the
President and members of the United States Agri.
cultural Society to hold their next annual Fair at
Pittsburgh.
The Secretary was instructed to forward to the
Board of Trustees of the Farm High School, the
names of the following persons, 'with the recom
mendation that they be admitted as pupils to the
School in the, following order; J. 'Heron Foster,
Jr., James Mprdocb, James S. Reed, Isaac Mills,
S. B. Young, Henry Negley, Howard Morton,
William Bullock, C. SnLvely, Jr.
The persons named will leave Pittsburgh on the
evening of February 13th, for Spruce Creek via
Pennsylvania Railroad, where a conveyance spe
cially for the Pittsburgh delegation, will be in wait
ing.
Upon motion of Mr. Murdoch, the Board dona
ted $5OO to the Farm High School, and the Treas
urer was instructed to forward his cheek to Ed
ward C. Humes, Bellefonte, for that amount.
The Pennsylvania Railroad
The Cincinnati Commercial, says:
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with its
wisely arranged connections, is doing the beet
part of the freight and passenger business of the
country. The Pennsylvania Central is to-day the
most powerful railway organization in America.
Its directing .bead has employed the vast capital
entrusted to his charge, not for the purpose of
fructifying the bonds and stooks of some one road
in which he bad a personal interest, but has so
diiected the capital as to secure a great network
of valuable connexions, so that his termini are,
virtually, Cleveland, Chicago and Cincinnati.
Over the Pennsylvania Central, via Columbus,
Steubenville and Allentown, lies the rail route
to New York direct, quicker and every way shorter
than any other line that will ever connect the
cities of the West with New York.

A Great Medicine for Females.
Hundreds of stimulants have been invented and
sold, purporting to be specific in the various dis
eases and derangements to which the delicate
form of woman renders her subject. The result
of all these stimulants has been to impart mo
mentary activity to the nervous system, and false
vigor to the muscles ; but this relief has been
succeeded by a depression and prostration greater
than before ; and the repeated attempts of invalids
to build themselves up by these false remedies,
haQe finally ended in destroying what little vital
organization was left. But in using t , Bccrhatda

results. It is a purely vegetable compound, pre

has to any of the wonderful effects of lonsue's
Vermifuge:
"STAR HOTEL," CENTREVILLE Texas, t
August 23d;1854.
Moms. FL1131186 Bitos.:—l find it my duty to
make the following statement: Several of my
children have been unwell for the last week': or
two. I called at the "Big Mortar" to get. some
Oil of Wormseed and other truck, to give them
for worms. The Druggist recommended inane's
Vermifuge, prepared by you ; but having hereto
fore, tried every Vermifuge, in my knowing, with
out advantage, I told him it was not worth while,
-as my children appeared proof against them all.
He said to take a bottle, and offered if it done no
good to refund the money. To satisfy him I done
ao t and the effect was so much better than ex
pected, that I got another bottle, and the result
was most astonishing. Three of my children dis
charged a great number of the largest worms I
ever saw. To a young. man my Mai Carrier, who
was weak, puny and poor as a magi, for a month
or so, I gave two doses, which brought from him
st, least n pint of what is called stomach worms!
Strange as this may appear, yet it is as "true as
preaching." How the boy stood it, so long as he
did, with ten thousand " Bots " gnawing at his
stomach, is the greatest wonder to me. All these.
cases are now doing well. No doubt the lives of
thousands of children have been saved by the
timely use of this extraordinary medicine. Don't
fail to give it a trial. Taos. R. THITRIKAN.
Purchasers will , be careful to ask for DR.
M'LANE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFIIGE, manu
factured by FLEMING EROS., of Pyrrannaou,
Pa. All other Vermifuges in comparison are
worthless. Dr. M'Lane'a genuine Vennifuge,
also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at
all respectable drag stores. None genuine without
the signature of FLEMING BROS.

Government is based on justice and' a love of its
country's liberty. Piedmont is small,- but great
in the councils of Europe, on aneennt of the
principles it represents and the systiPithies it In

to Italy's ories of anguish." The King concluded
