Pitta. burgh: Davie, Clarke 4 Co. • This is another of the series of volumes from Herbert Spencer, now in course of publication by the Appletons. On several occasions wo have called the attention of our readers to the nature and tendency of the writings of this distiiiguish ed thinker of the better class of .the Westminster Review contributors. This volume is divided into two parts : the aim of the first being to determine the true sphere of all rational Investigation ; and df the second, to elucidate the fundamental and universal princi ples which science has established, within that sphere, and whilb are to constitute the basis of the system. The scheme developed in these first principles, the author coniiaers complete:in itself and to have its independent value, but yet be designs it to serve for guidance and verifica tion in the conttruction of the succeeding and larger portions of his philosophic plan; One of the great troubles with Mr. Spencer ib, that he ignores from the first the Divine revelation of God's will given in; Holy Scripture, and builds up a system of philosophy and htiman.life not permeated with the spirit of the Gospel. As a matter of course his system is radically defective. But it has its charms and dangers foe the educa ted youthful minds of the age; and thoie who Would protect and guide them, must read and understand the masters of error. In almost et.- ' ery community and congregation are persons who 'Uzi bewildered with such reasonings as those of Mr. Spencer, and thty look to their spiritual guides to eztrioate them from the diffi culties in which they are involved.

By Major Penniman. " The Boy is Father to the Man." Fifth Thou sand. Pp. 816. 1864. Boston: Roberta Brothers. Pittsburgh : Tolin P. Hunt, Fifth Street. • "Call no man happy before the day of his death "—was the warning of an ancient sage, who had witnessed the many mutations -of for tune and fluctuations in popularity to which public men are liable. The history of the pres ent war, comparatively brief as it has been, has added many instances to the examples that might be oiled in support of the philosopher's advice: But the desire of the reading public to learn all that can be known about prominent, men, whilst they are yet upon the stage of no tion, has called into existence a small library of biographies of men whose epitaphs are yet to be• written; and in many oases the opportunity has been seised to render these volumes the vehicles of valuable advice and stirring incentive to the young. .1 To the bitter class belongs the volume before us, which traces the career of Gen. Grant, from a boyhood of -honest labor, through school days, cadetship, , services in the Mexican war and upon the Western frontier, private life as a farmer and tradesman, and the earlier stages of the rebellion, to his present lofty and responsi ble position; bringing down the history to May 16'11, 1864. It is presented in a way that will prove attractive to the young, conveying as it does much information incidentally in the prog roes of the narrative; whilst we can only trust that the unknown future will justify the eulo giums which the author has pronounced upon his hero. - SONGS FOR SOCIAL AND PUBLIC WOR SHIP.

A year ago a young lady offered to teach the Sunday School scholars singing at a quarter•of a•dollar a piece, for the series of lessons. In my class was our Sexton's daughter, who had a good voice, but, in reply to my inquiries, said she had decided not to attend the school. I remembered that her father had been sick, and that his means were not abundant, and told her she certainly ought to go, and I would pay the expense. She improved the•.opportnnity, as I expected, and is now one of th 6 best singers in the school. Last Sunday, as she seemed almost the mainstay in that de• partment, it came up in ray mind that I only paid a quarter.nta•dollar for her in struction and bringing her out as a• singer, and in my own mind called it my wonderful quarter•of-a-dollar. It seemed as though it must have been a dollar and a quarter. I was ashamed to think it was less than five dollars. Here I plainly saw the good of my ex penditure, which often is not the case. The donation of a dime Testament may be the means of saving many. This can only be known in heaven, but we shall undoubt edly be filled with wonder at'the great re sults from our feeble efforts. Such sayings as these we can scarcely be said to compre hend in our present state : 66 Inasmuch, as ye have done its unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye hav,e done it unto me." One thing only We know, in the spiritual as in the natural world, as we sow, so we shall reap. 44 Whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he'shall lu no wise lose his reward."

So it is with'yon. Alice, I am afriid that in the effort after something great and glorious to do or achieve, you of ten forget the: good and sweet duties that are lying close at your feet.". • Alice, Stella and Linda Sprague-were al most constantly under the mire of Miss Cameron, their goierness. Their mother was a confirmed invalid, and , spent her daya in alternating from her sofa to her easy chair, and from thence to bed. She was seldom able to leave her chamber, and ucuid not devote to her little girls that pa ternal care and oultuie that they 'needed. Mr. Sprague was a merchant in large and prosperous business; `be went early to his counting-room, atid came from thence with a preoccupied face and,a - mind fall of care. So that his children were neatly dressed, and lady-like in their manners, and did not worry him with foe much noise, he took but little noticenf "Alice " said little Linda when tea was over, "I wish you'd help me learn my hymn. It's so hard, and my Sabbath School teacher don't like me to miss it." "Oh, run away, Linda; I'm busy. Miss Agnes is with Stella, teaching, her her's, and you go to her." "But, Alice," pleaded Linda, " I'd rather have you." "1.- tell you I'm engaged just now. Don't tease, me, Linda." A bell rang from up stairs, and presently a servant came in, saying : ", Miss Alice, your mamma wants you 1" Rather slowly Alice put down her work, and rose to leave the parlor. AR she pass ed Miss Agnes, a'slip_of paper was put in to her hand. it she read these words, penoilled there in haste by her teacher : 4 " The duty that lies nearest.' Alice, did you not forg et it just now?" She knew what Miss Agnes meant, and blushed as she thought that her teacher had seen her impatient condtibt toward Linda. With a quieter step than usual, she entered her mother's room. Mrs. Sprague:was lying on the sofa look ing over some old letters. Her pale face was almost as white as the snowy pillow it pressed, and her thin hands showed the wandering blue-veins very plainly. Alice felt a sadness at heart as she thought of the many hours her poor mother spent there in that one room, and of how little she did to lighten them. By-and-by per haps she would have no mother. It flashed on her as she oame in that her mother was paler and thinner and weaker lately than she used to be. • 4 , Mother," she said, " Kati said you wanted me." " Yes, daughter, ,I was looking over these letters, and I want to give some of them in your charge, and some of them I wish you to burn. This package is for you to read by-and-by. They are journals of a happy girlhood, but, Alice I don't want you to imitate all my youthful life, for of ten I was a dreamer, not a doer. My child, I want you to learn to do whatever your hand fade to do, with your might. " Life is real—life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal: — Dust thou art., to dust returneet, Was not Wilton of the souL" " Mother, has Miss Agnes been talking to you about•me 1" said Alice. " No, my love. Why ?" " Bemuse she says that dreaming is my besetting tin, and was talking to me of that very thing : " " Here is a ring, Alice, made of my sis ter's hair; put it on your finger, dear. You were named for her, Alice Fanning. It is a record to me of my own early way waYdness, for, my darling, while I was looking for some far away great deed to do, poor Alice was slowly dying beside me, and I. never knew it, till, when too late, I wakened to find that I had no sister." Alice put the ring of golden hair on her finger. A big tear fell on it, a pledge that she would strive to be more thoughtful hereafter. When her mother had finished and sent her away, she went down again to the library, and though the tempting book was full in view, she passed it, by saying : " Come, Linda, help you with your hymn now."—kin,Presbyterian. Good Manners—The Difference. " Will you please to have this seat, sir ? I prefer to stand," said a fine little boy, -who was sitting in a pew, to an old gentle man who was standing in the aisle. " Thank you, my , little man," said the gentleman,smiling very gratefully upon the little ellow; " and you eh - all 'sit upon my knee, if you please.' When the service closed, the gentleman inquired of him hie name, and asked him, " Why did you give up your good seat ?" " Mother teaches me, sir," said he," nev er to sit when an older person is standing near me." Now look at another scene. " Will you let the ladies have seats, and you sit on the form fonder ?" said a gen tleman to four boys in a pew. - " - I shan't," says one. " They; may sit on the form themselves, if they please," said another. - Not one of them moved. All the people near turned and loo?ced,with surprise and disgust upon them. " They can't be Sabbath School schol ars," one remarked. "At any rate," said another, they have had no good bringing up at home." Very soon the sexton curie, and ordered them all out of the pew. They were obliged to obey, and out they marched, with their heads hanging down, looking so ashamed. Nobody;however, •pitied them. .

Huntington, Indiana:' As seen from Stone Mountain, a vast'sfl evation of granite sixteen miles northeast, Atlanta appears situated upon a large plain, but as the obserzer - desconds from. this gid dy height and travels in the direction . of either, point of the,compass, his progress` is obstructed by sharp pitches' and narrow ravines, through many'9f which flow small rivulets. To such an extent, is this the character of the surface, that scarcely an acre of level ground can be found in the limits of the city. , The soil, where, there is any, is light' and sandy, with a substratum of, red clay. Other *portions are gravelly and sterile. The most of the country is still covered with a heavy growth`of timber. This de scription holds good until you pass a few miles north of Marietta; twenty-one miles north of Atlanta, including Dallas, lying a little north-west of the Alatoona Moun tains. North and parallel runs the Ettawa river. From there to Dalton, the, surface is less broken, and constitutes the best grain and grazing portion of Georgia. Cass County is said to, be the wealthiest in the State. Atlanta is laid out in a circle, two miles in diameter, in the centre of which is the passenger depot, from which radiate rail-. roads to every quarter of the Confederacy. On the north side of the depot is a park, inclosed and ornamented with trees and flowering shrift. Opposite the three va cant sides are situated the three principal hotels. In the business portion of the city are many fine blocks, of buildings. Before the war these were mostly filled with con signments of goods from the large cities of the North and North-west for the supply of the cotton regions. - Now the city is one vast Government ,storehonee. - Here are located the Machine shops of the principal railroads; the moat extensive rolling mill in the South, foundries, pistol and tent factories, &c., &e. In addition,- the Gov erment have works icr casting shot and shell, making gun-carriages, cartridges, caps, shoes, clothing, &c., &o. - .Encircling the city is a line of rifle pits nine miles'in length, upon slight eminen ces. At nearly regular intervalsthere are planted twelve or fourteen batteries, said to be mounted with condemned guns l The fortifications were constructed as a defence from raids, and for the year past have been maimed with a small force. In 1860 Atlanta contained 15,000 iamb itants,increased since by refugees and Gov ernment nißciale to at least 20,000. As the route from any one point of the Confed oracy to any other naturally leads through Atlanta, :its streets are literally crammed with soldleis and drays, Sundays not ex cepted. Facts and Freslts.of Currency. Many things have been used at different times as money—cowriushells it Africa; wampum by. thuAmerican Indians; cattle in ancient Greece. The Carthagenians, used leather as money, probably bearing some mark or - stamp. Frederick IL, at the' siege of - Milan, issued stamp leather as moiley. In 1360, John the Good, King of France,, who Was taken prisoner by the celebrated Black Prince, and sent -to Eng land until ransomed, also issued leather money, haying a - small silver nail in the centre. Salt is the aoramon money in Abyssinia; codfish, in-Iceland and New foundland. "Living money," slaved and .oxen, passed current with the Anglo- Saxons, in payment of debts. Adam Smith Says that in his day there was a village in Scotland where it was not uncommon for workmen to carry nails, instead of money, to the baker's shop and the ale-house. Marco Polo found in China money made of the bark of the mulberry tree, bearing the stamp of the sovereign, which it was death to counterfeit. Tobacce was generally used as money in Virginia up to 1660, fifty-seven years after the foundation' of that colony. In 1641, the Legislature qf Massachusetts enacted that ivheat should be received in payments of all debts; and the convention in France, during the rave lution, on a proposition of Jean-Bon- Sainte Andrea, long discussed the pro priety of adopting wheat as money ) as the measure of value of all things. ?Willa was coined in Rtissia from 1828 tcrlB4s. But the metals best adapted and most. generally used as coin are copper; nickel, silver, and geld : the two first being now used for coins of small value, to make change; the two latter, commonly desig nated " fhe miaow; metals," as Measures of value and legal tenders. en the continent of . Europe, -a - composition of silver and copper, called bilion, has long been used Air small coins, which are made current at' a much higher value than that of the met als they contain. In-China, Bycee silver is, the principal currency, and is merely ingot silver of an uniform fineness, paid and "received by weight. Spanish dollars alio circulate there, but only after they have been assayed and sta,sped- as•a-proof that they are of the standard finineis. As Asia Minor produced gold, its 'earliest coin age was of that metal.. Italy and Sicily possessing cepper,,bronze was, first opined there. Herodotus says the Lydians were the first people - known to have coined gold and They hid - gold coin at, the, oleos of the-ninth century: B. 04 Greece Proper only, at thielooe Of the eighth cen tury B. 0. 1 &Moe Tullius; Eing of Atlanta; lia.

One of the most attractive features, to the, farmer, of the late, Sanitary Fair held in Allegheny City, was tire twelve Cash mem GOats, exhibited by. James H. Mc- Neil, of North Star, Washington County, Pa. Concerning the Cashmere Goats, a spe cial committee,•appointedl - 1 the American Institute, at their Eithibition in 1855, re ported that They have examined, with much interest, the fleece submitted to them, and as well from flier own observation as from the re sults of a microscopic examination, made and certified to by several gentlemen of scientific eminence well known to them, are convinced that the fibre of these fleeces is identical in character, ,and fully equal in value to that from. which. the highly-prized' Cashmere Shawls are made. The enter prise exhibited' by the - introduction and propagation of these animals into this 001.111» try, cannot be too highly prized. If the introdnetioa of 'Merino Sheep was b rich boon to our country, which never contem plated any thing beyond improvement of wool from the value of 25 to 50 or 75 cents per pound,- and that too at a comparative loss of • the carcass, as to its. flesh value, there can be no doubt.that a much greater *benefit must result from the introduction of 'this really nq,w and valuable stock amongst us, surpassing , in value , any; fleeced animal of this country or Europe. First. The animals are long-lived, such, ibeing the case with the whole goat race. • Second. They are prolific. - Third.. They are hady. Experience with the imported stock and their is_ sue having .shown that they thrive well in our elimate, from Georgia to New-England, and that they , require and prefer coarse and cheap food, as the inferior grasses, briars, bushes, &0., such as is refused by other grazing animals. Fourth. They produce a fleece of from four to eight 'pounds per annum, valued at about from `six - to eight dollars per pound in France and in Paisley Seotrand - for the manufacture of.those high-priced shawls. The permanent retention of color is a valuable; feature in, the goods made from the hair of these animals.. • - Another fact of great value practically to our agricultural interest, is the facility with which the Cashmere Goat breeds with'the common goat.:. Indeed your committee could but admire the fineness of the 'fleece from a t. blood, a cross from a Cashmere Buck and a female goat of 7 blood. From these and other considerations of the cor rectness of which your committee have en tire confidence, it will be obvious that every encouragement should be shoirn this new enterprise. Mr. McNeil says : " Hearing of an importation of Cashmere Goats, selected for Dr. Peters, of Georgia, being shipped to Boston on account of the blockade, and about to be sold, I went to Rurchase, but was too late, as all were sold when I got there. I ordered an importa tion through the same importers, which arrived last October, 1861 I selected eight ewes and a buck from twenty-seven, the number imported; andpurchased two ewes from a gentleman, which he had se !Wed, being the best of they importation wade for Dr. Peters, of Georgia. "Not one of this last importation has been sick or died, either by the way or since they arrived, and mine have been thriving finely, not apparently.. suffering any inconvenience from the cold weather of tfin past Winter: Seven have kids, and two yet to lamb.• Some of these kids _were dropped in the middle of March, when the thermometer was nearly, at zero, and; stood the cold in a barn all the time. "I have an importation of twenty Cash . mere Ewes to arrive - last of October next." - "The animas themselves are beautiful, and the fleeces are very fine and heavy. The raising of them will no doubt be ex ceedingly profitable: For further informa tion, we refer our readers =toMr. James, H. McNeil, North Stir, Washington Nun- Linen Import and Manufacture. Our civil War, along with other results, has tended to stop - the supply of cotton, to prosge the inedequacy.of other countries for a sufficient Yield of the right staple, and, consequently, to substitute other fabrics. The effect is marked very clearly in English trial/ returner . Linen has been produced in an unparalleled quantity there, and ex ported to us more largely than ever before. In the first three months of 1862 the total , value,of linen piece goods' exported from England. was £982,013; in 1863 it was £1,827,895, and in the corresponding peri od 0f1864, £1,869,785. This production and export inoludes white and plain piece goods; checks, printed, and dyed - ditto"; cambries and lawns; damasks and diapers; sail etoth; thread, and 'hosiery. ,The total value of exports of linen manuactures of all. kinds in the first quarter. of 1864 amounted to 4998,452, against--11,454,- 777 in the,porresponding quarter of 1863, and' £1,088;363 the corresponding peri od of 1862. The elport nearly doubled in three :years. This country, too, was the largest consumer and customer for this wonderful increase, which amounts to 'no less a sum than _,E910,089 or $4,550,445 for a single- quarter and $18,201,780 per annum. We imported to the value of £378, 73,5 in 4862, £556,774 in 1863, and £914,- 917 in 1864. This is. an increase in lin - en goods of £536,182, or about $2,681,000, in one quarter,. produced in two years. The increase in a year, at' this ..ratio, would be $10,723,640. The last returns show that the increase is still increasing; and that, although some suffering has been produced among British 4eritives by the cotton famine, and some mills rendered less vale able`,-the suffering is - ..compensated an(); ther qnnrter by an excessive _and unpnral led consumption of linen. These facts show that.- - linen mange°. tares here are starting at the-right time.

For the past seven years, while working in a machine-shop, the iron shavings (both wrought and oast iron) have collected around the buildings to the depth of seve ral inches, and under these several porch trees have sprung up and are now bearing fruit every year. The leaves hold their color throughout the, season; a- very dark green; while for miles around not a true can be brdught to-bear before it is affected by the disease so prevalent in this part of the country.
