that seeth in secret. These and like these were
points by which he passed. holy spell linger'
ed around. We could have listened for hours; !;
and yet there was nothing sudden in his close
the low.breathed benediction fell likes a combined
echo of oil that he had said.
"How Oft in my fancy I've pictured him there,
AS he stood In that triumph Of passion and prayer.
We were better for having heard him. we
went forth into Broadway, again, and the atmos'
phere was not so cold. We looked upon the
hard face of the passing human with clearer
recognition of his humanity. The words Of that
earnest man were in our ears; and his divine
truths, we deem, can never wholly die out of
any heart that truly heard him. Our heart has
thanked him thousand times since then. There
was no cant about him. He had no time for
cant-he was thinking. There was nothing Of
that holy whine that has made many a we'll
meaning man look like what he was-a fool.
One of our American poets has said, with q
reference entirely human, and we have deemed
her words true:
"Better trust all, and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that dec eivingi
Than doubt one heart, that, II believed,
Had blessed ones life with true believing.
Oh In this mocking world, too fast
The doubling fend oertakes our youth
Better be cheated to the last,
Than lose the blessed hope Of truth"
We deem that many who heard DR.. Chaplin
that morning went their way with renewed pur'
poses of good-new resoves-new hopes
We like that preaching which brings God SC
near us-so close about us-imparting His life
to the very air we breathe, touching with His
beauty the very grass under our feet, and bathing
the humblest clod of earth in the warmth of His
love. The gentlest of the Twelve wrote-"LoVe
is of God" And then sdded-"God Is Love-"
Such was the spirit of that mornings lesson.
Common Truths.
Not commonly admitted.
8-There can be no effect without cause.
Our ignorance is poor argument against
anything.
The Southern Presbyterian Review,
For July, is just out.
This quarterly has its fixed position among US
and that position is deservedly high. The pres
ent issue is from the steam-power press OF Z. r
Pelham and is fine specimen of Typography
The whole thing is very well gotten up.
As to the literary contents, this number strikes
US as heavy, dull-or at least, very theological
The book notices are valuable feature of it
and the contents of other periodicals deserves
special attention as good idea.

Rutledge.
Who wrote Rutledge?
Not Miss Evans of Mobile, the gifted and sue
cessful author of Beulah.
Not Miss Lyons of Columbia, the accomplished
and brilliant brunette daughter of Israel
Neither of these. Rutledge was written by
Miss M1srUnN, young lady of New York city
one who breathes the atmosphere upper-ten-don
q lady, that is to say, Of high social position
and, as Rutledge indicates, of considerable ge
MUS in that way.
The book has had an unusual run with US il
Columbia. Everybody is reading or has read it
The scene is New York and thereabouts, will
dash or so elsewhere. Itis the autobiography
of beautiful and brilliant young lady, just /
little fast. There are in it 'course of tru'
love-" seduction, q good many tears, ghostl,
room, murder, two suicides, filtration, ant
of course a marriage The hero, Mr. Rutledge
lives at "Rutledge," romantic old mansion
Hence the title. The heroine is an orphan, at
boarding school, just like Jane Eyre and hk
Beulah. She-her name never comes out in tn
book at al-she spends some time at "Rutledge
(mansion, and falls in love with Rutledge (hero !;
and he proceeds to return the compliment. II
is solemn kind of body. Afterwards, the he
roine lives in the city; sees the world, flrts ant
dances. The parties become estranged-rougt
running of love. Then, the country again. 1
usual amount of useless reserve on the heroine
part to wards Rutledge (hero) )-useless and guilty
we opine-pervades the volume. She hersel
saws her conduct towards him sis marked wit
PRIDE folly, and deceit )" and we agree with her
This is the theme proper Of the book. He is KEEP
in fume all the time Later in the story,
great deal of romance is MISUNDERSTANDING
ment, murder, suicide, nonsense, guilt, otherwise
reconciliation, and good time generally, to qu
on.
1t is n good novel, and to very large exter
deserves the immense success it is having.

1t is handsome duodecimo, with border
printed in clear small plea and is fair to see
rejecting credit upon our rising Southern house
of publication, in Columbia.
We said few weeks ago, knowing the author
ess, that the book would be quite the book in it
special sphere. We were sure enough of it ther
but are surer now, since we have examine
for ourselves the greater part of the volume
advance sheets. 1t deals in actualities-not i
sentmentalities about roses, loves, angels, an
such stuff of the fashionable poets 1t tells
plain language how to plant flowers, when, on
where; how to dig, trench hoe manure, prur
and water the flowers how to kill bugs, catel
pillars and worms; how to manage cutting:
buddines and hundreds of other similar thing
There is fifty times as much common-sense
