NEW PUBLICATIONS.

There is no smell oil the University IN tnls rdcy
Discourse. Such specimen Of plain talk was
never given before to learned society 1t Is
compound of Goblet, Enerson, Carlyle Theo-
dore Parker, and a strong infusion OF the Woiver--
inc. The last element is represented by the au-
thor in his own person Throughout the whole
there is a noble vein of humanity, relieving the
rongb edge of the authors rrcnchant satire, and
Genial wisdom lurking beneath his quaint dis
onises. As a Characteristic passage, we give his
description of
THE MODERN PRESS.
The superiority of the modern forms OF the
School over the ancient, is by no means as
striking as that great triumpf-and parent OF trl-
un,rbs--oi modern over ancient ages THE PRESS
What sorry figure would the establishment OF
the fraterna copartnership OF the Sossll Co ex'
hibit-the crack publishing house OF AQ9ustan
Rome-With their few hundreds OF unwIeldy Vol
nmes of rolled parchment, painfully transcribed
with reed or iron pen, beside our Harper bro,
4bers whose mere advertisement catalogues would
furnish more pages, than all Augustan ttomc ever
nublished Much the same figure whlcht the squad
rons or Persian and Grecian barques, Winch1ou9ht
the sea tight OF Saamls would e&hIDlt oeSioo tne
modern 6Iropsdes and "Peace makers who
achieve the rrafagarS and Navarlnos OF our day
PRESIDENT Jefferson's immortal squadron OF gun
boats might have vanqushed the whole navy OF
all ANTIQUITY in a single fight. But the giQEles o!
the modern press are yet to be uAroHed, when the
whole continent is to be oyersPreao WIN It's
dense and living civilization; when the Rocky
Mountains shall like the black margin OF a great
book, denmark but not dlvlde' TWO great Ispredu
pages Of united EMPIRE an empire that shali cover
with bushy population, the hills and wales, the
green riversideg aud the broad Savannas OF our
young continent.
The productions of the press may first be con-
in fhp L.
bra1g-the settled form of ancient lore, establish
ed science and enshrlned genius. 1t constitutes
the entire treasury of the worlds standard intel
iectual wealth. The library is as IT We're the
worlds great memory containing all 1t knows; 1t
is that cell in the worlds phrenOogy which holds
its borded masses of fixed thought; it is rchec-
t;on which has ceased to eHervesCe and has crys
talized into solid cubic form. Modern meditation

But outside the shutters OF the library, the press
is generating its 1--we swarms OF ephemera-ie-
sionary and winged-many OF them N, honey bear,
ing-many venemous-all noisy. These IS, are Re. all Al!
ephemera IN the sense aiso' that today they musl
die. The large share are striving to pass from
the transient to the permanent but are mostly ,;
deemed. Some OF them are enlanat'ohs from tue
library itself, reproduced these are no new crea
tions, but duplicates; they need not go INTO the
library, for they are already there But still, sc
