CATHOLICISM AND Observation-Disclosures.
QUESTIONS or THE SOUL. BY t HrcKEl. limo,
Pr. "a D. Appleton Co.
The argument of this work is founded on the
suppositiOn that the only alternative offered to
the religious inquirer at the present day, 10 be-
tween Catholicism and overwhelmingly
other words between the system which maintains
the need of an infalible external authority, aud
that which admits no higher standard of truth
than the inner testimony Of the soul. Hence the
writer makes but ihfrequent allusion to the
claims of the usual Protestant sects, and aims
mainly to demslish the pretensions Of those mod
egn thinkers with whom an interior spiritusl light
10 the ultimate basis Il faith. His method con-
sists chiefly in showing up their shortcomings-
their failure to realize the promise implied in
their teschings-their insdequacy to answer the
most profound questionings Of the soul-and the
disastroustendency oftheir principles when pushed
to their legitimate consequences To great ex-
tent, he endesvors to condemn them out Of their
own mouths, quoting, for this purpose, from their
writings-especially from several eminent poets,
-professedly or really belopgBgt to this schoOl-so
that the intrinsic dyness of the subject is essen
TALLY relieved by choice collection Of extracts,
which are good poetry, if bad theology. A GER
tain piquAney 10 given to the volume by the fast,
that the author was once in intimate relations with
the persons whose opinions he Overhauls shared,
for time, in their Characteristic dea-sud was
engaged with them, more or lees closely, In some
of their practical enterprises for the accomplish
ment of social reforms. He speaks Of his ancient
eompasricts, in terms of great e1plicitne's'
neither disguising his contempt for their religion,
nor his respect for their characters. 10 general
the tone Of the work sayors more Of sentiment
than Of reasoning although it betrays more than
common degree Of ability, while its suavity Of
temper might spread it contagious sweetness,
without damage, among controversialists of every
Dame.
The true destiny Of man, - stated BY the
writer, would probably find few antagonists
anosg any class Of thiDkers in spite Of the evil
lssee to the contrary which he attempts TO ID.

THE LIFE AND BEAUTIES OF FANNY FERN. limo +,
pp $50. H. Ions K Brother.
Tie discreet reader need not fear to find in this
book specimen of the scandalous chronicle. Con-
coced, doubtless to soil the plumes Of the popular
authorizes whom it claims 10 dsguerreotype, its milk
and water insipidity would be sufficient to neutralzs
much more potent dose of malice than it presents.
A few iDcoherebt biographical details, thrown to-
gether pell mell-some dismal attempts at jocosity-
ard an occasional side thrust, intended TO infct
mortal wound-compose the substance of this catch
penny Notwithstanding out the extracts from
Fanny Ferns writings, which I'll large space, aud
without which its dullness would have been ntole-a

stupid into the bargain.

But mans large .os, the stsi supreme
In sudeless whirl how Oft 1t reels"
But the path to genuine accomplishment Of
sublime aims, the writer contends, is found only
in the Catholic Church. She opens wide her
arms to those who would dedicate themselves
entire to the fulhllment of their highest destiny,
regarding them a. her brightest ornaments and
the most precious jewels of her crowd. This
conviction is expressed in the following para
grsphs, together with some criticisms on Emer-
son, Carlyle, and 90 forth, which are certainly
rscy, though not, we presume, the final word on
the subject.
What was attempted by those engaged In such
movements o. Brookfarm, Fruitlands and other
places of similar character, the religi orders In
the Catholic Church have always realized. Their
most brilliant dreams do not present fair picture of
religious life in the Catholic Church. Their hopes
and highest aims were but gimmerings Of the reality
existing in her bosom and that for ages. 1t is hsp
py moment, indeed when We find chat the Utmost
sentiments Of our hearts, the lovely dreams Of
youth, the desire Of manhood for self sacrifice
ard heroism, are not only understood, but fully sp-
precisted and all the me ans to their fuldllnsnt
offered TO US in abundance. Happy they who
find out 10 their youth what all discover, at
some period Of life that God and God alone, can
satisfy the nmost wants Of the SOUL and consecrste
themselves TO his service, with oil the freshness and
purity OF their youthful energy. his 10 the most
beautiful experiment in liie-o pass rom the service
of the world 10 that OF God to give ones youth to
Heaven!
To those who seek i,r true greatness, and perms-
nent bsss for action divine basis for hie-a basis
that will give 10 the intellect ever brighter vsion Of
truth to the heart irresistible impulses to love and
heroism and to the arm an unfsiny strength; life
that will render them independent OF ali ties Of kin
dred and friendship, and make them couquerors of
the world and masters Of themselves; it is here in
these schools Of religious discipline, they will find il,
and ell the means TO make such lie their own.
Out OF these schools csme the Jeromes, Augustines,
Gree once, Bernardo Franchises the Vincent de Psuls,
the Aavleis and other great doctors and mssio nses
OF the Church. Yes, the Catholic Church is the
mother OF great men, the Of heroes and Of an
unfailipg succession Of saints and utyrs. Ii the
very nature Of the Catholic faith when il takes roof
in the heart, TO make men superior TO Nature, and
true heroes.
Men talk Of greatness and Of heroi.m, bu, in the
Church there a perennial source of great men and
heroes There is no other.

The PEACH CROP AT THE WEsT.-The
Cleveland Herald says "we have serious
fears that peaches have been injured by
the unparalleled severity of the weather.
A fruit grower in East Cleveland reports
his peaches killed upon eleven trees out
of twelve examined. In the city, from
slight examination, we think buds enough
are alive to secure fair yield, but an
unuuSal amount of the wood is killed even
branches of two years growth. An ex-
tensive horticulturalist on the West Side,
thinks peaches are safe, and should we
have no ice, it is hoped that the cold thus
far has merely thined out the crop, not
destroyed it. The idea that peaches will
not survive q greater1all of mercury than
10 degrees belew zero is all CANNON.
The state ofthe atmosphere as to dryness
has the most important bearing, and ex-
perienced, intelligent, accomplished hor-
ticulturists maintain that dry frost can
not kill peaches"

A row occurred at the Rochester, N. Y,
City Hall on Wednesday evening, on the oo-
casios of q meeting called to denounce the
Know KOthinss. Mr.. Henry Hunter presided,
assisted by vice presidents and secretary.
committee on resolutions was appointed,
who reported. The Rochester Union SAYS:
"Ihe resolutions were adopted without any
dissenting voices, as many of those opposed to
the organisation In City Hall had withdrawn.
Motions were made to adjourn, Kisses were
given for Littlejohn and Stebbins, groans were
uttered for every body ard pybody, and the
gathering ceased to be anything but q noisy
mob. At this juncture all efforts to take
minutes Of proceedings seemed futile, and We
left for the County Court room, where meet.
ing had been org anised. For half an hour or
more after We left City Hall, the yells shrieks
and groans Of the infatuated Know Nothinss
in that room could be heard distinctly in any
part Of the Court House. Such an exhibition
OF rowdyism We have ntvsr before seen in
Rochester during residence Of many years,
and during which time We have attended, a.

every kind"
Mr.. A. B Dickinson. of Steuben, q state

Nohings. he was interrupted, and amid great
confusion retired. Cheers were given for Ull.
man, and groans and Kisses for Seward, Little

two Irish pedlars, named John Kanehan
and James Carrigan, left that city about
two weeks ago, carrying with them two
large and valuable packs, containing dry
goods and jewelry. They travelled to the
town Of Warrenburg. where they con.
cluded to stop for the night. Feeling
very much fatigued, one of them, Kama
han, Immediately retired to rest. About
an hour afterwards, Carrigan went to the
bedroom Of his companion, and was sur
prised at not finding him. However, he
finally concluded to lie down.
AS soon as he touched the bed he found
it was wet. He lit candle, and discov-
cred that the bed was covered with
blood, and found the body of his com.
panion underneath. Hearing footsteps
on the stairs, he drew his bowie knife
and stationed himself behind the door.

The Chaplain Of the Indiana Leeisls.
ture recently opened the session with
general prayer, which closed with the
following eloquent and sensible invoca-
ton:
And. D Lord, have mercy upon our
legislators. Be with them and bless
them, even if they know thee not. Spare
their lives. and teach them to glorify thy
name. Hasten them to their homes,
where they may direct their attention to
good works and general useful among
their families and neighbors. May the
people resolve to keep them there, and
in future elect men of sound morals and
temperate habits; so that good may
hereafter result from legislation. Save
from disgrace, which must follow if the
same crowd should again come here to
make laws"
We think this invocation will suit
other meridians besides that of the State
of Indiana.

The GRAVE OF Ex.PREsIDENr HAR.
KISON.-There is not, in nature, a more
truly beautiful spot, wherein the dead
should lie, than that at North Bend.
But, alas, how rude hands of unfeeling
visitors had desecrated it. Everything
bore evidence of neglect. decay, and sac
religious pillage. The door covering the
steps which lead 10 the vault was of its
hinges-torn off, as We are told, by some
picnic parties, to serve as a table on
which to spread their provisions and
drinks, and after being thus used, it had
been thrown down the hill, where it was
lying. leaving the entrance to the tomb
open and exposed to the winds and rains.
The fence, too, which encloses the spst,
was broken, the shrubbery planted by
the hands of affection was trampled
upon, the saplings were mutilated and
broken. The whole thing indeed was q
ruin, and so it remains. The family at
North Bend have done all in their power
to preserve the grounds from violation,
but without effect; and unless something
is done that will efectually prevent these
shameless acts of sasrilege, the whole
structure will tumble down.
