No DANGER.-The New York Express,
in noticing the meetings now being daily
held in that city says:
The public meetings Of agrarians,
foreigners, the unemployed,-the dis.
contented, and the hungry, are things OF
Paris, of France, and of Germany, rather
than of the United States. One thinks,
at times, that one is in Vienna in l848,
or in Berlin, or in Paris in 1870. They
are significant, oninious, even,-and,
but for our 1000 police army, with three
our four reliable regiments to back it.,
would be dangerous. If the Mayor was
unfaithful to his duty, they would be
dangerous also,-but there is force enough
to maintain order, and to alright all dis
order, if it were tried"

BooKs.-The Methodist Protestant, in
noticing the life Of . celebrated "show.
man" that has recently appeared, says:
We have been led to these remarks BY
several notices which have met our eye
in religious exchanges, of the life of q
celebrated Snowman that has recently
appeared. A worse book for the morals
of young men could hardly be placed in
their hands. 1t is the history of a man
who from comparative poverty has amas-
sed great riches by Misrepresentation, by
what be calls "humbug," by what in old
en- times was called downright lying.
The writer neither conceals nor palliates
his trickeries, but-boastS of them, and
dresses them off with the graces of self
complacent rhetoric, as though they were
most praiseworthy; inimitable lessons in
the management of business, by which
young men of enterprise and character
might rise to usefulness and great posses.
sions. This book has absolutely been re
commended, if not directly, at least i'm
pliedly, by religious journals. One speaks
Of the blossoms" it iinparts on energy of
character; another of the ENCOURAGEMENT
It's perusal will give to individual exertion,
and so-forth and so.forth, without one
word of cencure. Do these editors know
what they are doing!
Bad as we consider the licentious char
acted Of certain of Lord Byron's poems,
the paralysing effect or public morals,
though in another sphere, would in our
judgement be less, by the circulation and
free perusal of ''Don Juan" than by the
perusal of this book by young men anx-
iOus to "rise in the world" It is dis
grace to the community from whose midst
it is issued, and On insult to the nation
to whose perusal it is offered.
