A TRIBUTE.

And once upon a time, Reader—a long, long while ago
—I knew a schoolmaster; and that schoolmaster had a
wile. And sho was young, and fair, and learned ; like that
princess-pupil of old Aschana ; fair and learned as S 3 dney's
sieter, Pembroke's ruotber, And her yoice was ever sell,

gentle, and low, Reader : an excellent thing in Nyman
And her fingers were quick at needlework, and nimble it
all a housewife's cunning. And she could draw sweet music
from the ivory board ; and sweeter, stranger music from
the dull life of her schoolmaster-husband. And she was
slow of heart to understand mischief, but her feet ran swift
to do good. And the was simple with the simplicitY
girlhood, and wise with the wisdom that cometh only of the
Lord,—cometh only to the children of the kingdom. And
her sweet, young life was as a Morning Hymn, sung by
child voices to rich organ music. Time shall throw his
dart at Death, ere Death has slain such another.
For she died, reader : a long, long while ago. And
stood once by her grave ; her green grave, not far from
dear Dunedin. Died, reader—for all she was so fair and
young, and learned, and simple, and good. And lam told
it made a great difference to that schoolmaster.
And, again, here is an emphatic appeal from the
heart of thcSchoolmaster to his fellow-labourers

THE SCHOOLMASTER.
Then shall he put into their tiny hands the interesting
and exhaustive Biographies of the great Busbiquiue.
Bungfungus ; and by homoeopathic treatment each BM
graphy shall he made to occupy many weeks so that the
children, in reading the death of Polzeologus, and Nithro
•
barzanes, and other favourite heroes, may have forgotten the
circumstances of their lives. And if they read a fable, they
shall read it in minute portions, so that, on arriving at the
tail or moral, they may be unable to apply it to the body.
And in their daily reLdings they shall continually slug
their verbal and syntactic formu'rn, which shall sound like
mystic hymns in the ears of their delighted parents.
With this very eloquent dtfiuition of the &goty
and duty of the schoolmaster we take leave of this
very thoughtful and very interesting volume.

The Six Sisters of the Valley : an Historical
Romance. By the Bev. W. Bromley-Moore,
M.A. One vol. pp. 502. Illustrated. Logiliall

and Co.
This is an historical romance, founded on the
wars of the Waldensee, celebrated in the sonnet
of Milton. On the title-page the rev. sutlia,r
quotes from the Count de Montalembert the lc"'
lowing appropriate observation :—" dEclare tb9t
I feel en invincible horror for all tortures aud
violence inflicted upon humanity under the pretext
opinion
of serving or defending religion"—an
which will meet with very general sympathY from
t
Christians of all denominations in the preserl ,0
century. Whether Christian charity is likely t
be promoted by a revival of paet animosities set
forth in the pages of a romance is a question that
might judiciously be suggested to the WI
advocates of religious toleration.

Essays on Social Subjects from the Saturday

Review. One vol., pp. 305. Blackwood.
The very vigorous and occasionally brilliact
essays upon social subjects, which have for 012°
time past interested the readers of the Saul
Review, are here collected in one volume, svbi;eth
will be welcomed by those already familiar with
the writer, while others, as yet unacquainted 'Pth
his felicitous animadversions upon men and things'
have now a pleasantopportunityof examining th!fl32,
" Busy People" and "Foolish Things," on "SaYll3°
Disagreeable Things," and "Having One's Own
Way ;" on "The Want of Money," and " rtie
Uses of Pathos," on " False Shame" and" Fluency
Ii
on "Snubbing" and " Shirking," Bce.,
are the topics for consideration. The writer sal*
happily, on the title-page, that he " sat down t°
write a book to tell the world what the Vriciii
had all his life been telling him"—end suc
is evidently the case. These essays are for the
most part the results of attentive observation,
and if they. are some of them superficial in their
mode of treatment, they are all animated and viva'cious in style, whi e, besides that, most of the"'„,
very interesting and attractive.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
In the Money Market to•day prices for the nego-
!Litton of commercial bills show a fractional advance
in Consequence of a very active inquiry for aecom-
Znodation. The rates now charged are 5; and 6 per
"tit. The effect is merely temporary, and the dis.
count establishments have taken advantage of the
increased supply of paper to ask higher terms.
The amount of specie taken out by the Poonab,
Which left Lis morning for the East, was £21,793.
The arrivals of specie announcal this morning
comprise £46,041 by the Hadir, £4,690 by the
Asia, both from New York, and £10,564 by the
Glendatner, from Port Phillip.
Tne accounts from the manufacturing districts
for the past week have been of a satisfactory cha-
racter. At Manchester there has been an active
tuquiry for yarns, but cloths have remained dull
Without, however, any charge in prices. In the
.„..17°°11en districts, viz., at Leeds, Bradford, and
ztuddersfield, the ehief operations have been in
autumn goods, which have ful:y supported previous
Prices. At Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery
and lace departments have been rather active,
While in Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolver-
hampton an average amount of business has been
transacted for the time of year.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Renter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes
were quoted 66f. 15c. Heavy.
Tte English Stock Market has been much de-
pressed through political distrust engendered by
the adjourned meeting of the Conference. Consols
have declined } per cent., the quotations for money
being 891 1, and 90} for the account. The New
Threes and Reduced Annuities are 881 89 ; June
xchequer Bills, ss. dia. to par. ; India 5 per Cents.,
1041; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 104; ditto 61 per
Cents, 115 ; and Debentures, 99.
Foreign Stocks are dull, and have in several
instances receded on large sales. Mexican are
441; do. New Loan, t a dis. ; Greek, 231 i;
Spanish Passive, 301 4 ; Portuguese, 481 49 ;
Russian Scrip, 31 4 prem.; Turkish 6 per Cents.,
1862, 711 ; do., Consolidfis, 481 ; and the Con.
federate Loan, 641 64.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been very restricted, but quotations are generally
Well sustained. Lancashire and Yorkshire have
improved 108. ; North Western, Midland, and North
Eastern (Berwick), 55.; while Great Western have
declined Ss.
,The Foreign and Colonial lines exhibit no
Change of importance.
Bank and Misclllaneous Shares are dull, but
realise fully previous rates. Ceamounix Hotel
Company shares are quoted 1 11 prem.
