MADGE; or. MORNING AND NIGHT. ByH.B.
e Ny Ey;sas Yo5k: I = D. Appleton s Co. Chicago:
This is an exceedingly well written and iu-
tercstipg story of one Of the waits Of society,
apoor workhouse girl who, before she is six
years old, becomes the bond servant of q
hardheartcd Yankee woman, who was the
"friend'' Of her mother, and who treats her,
therefore, with becoming cruelty. The girl
runs of at last to the factories of Lowell, and
| gets employment there, and becomes smart
woman and cultivated, through books and
| epistolary intercourse with the son of her
late mistress, who was the first to introduce
her to books, and taught her the alphabet and
| writing. This young gentleman is now pro-
fessor Of college, having taken good de-
| gree at Harvard and the first few chapters
| induce us to think that there is an uncon-
| scious loye between the learned man and tue
| factory girl. Her subsequent history, how
ever, from this time downwards, and what be-
| came Of her, and whether she married the
professor or not, are they not written in tue
| story book?
| For the treatment, TIC may say that 1t is ex-
cellcnt, and that there is an air Of reality
about it whnh is rcry refreshing. The Tan.
| liee Woman is we'll drawn, and the character
Of the bond girl admirably developed. We
can see her grow and tell up her intellectual
inches day by day. 1t is book to buy for
Families, and will do them good

1t is curious fact, however, that Episcopacy,
or tie Church of England, which Vas wont
to be The champion and defender Of the
Faith, Of plenary inspiration, Of miracles
aud Of the entire supernatural theory upon
which Christianity is based-giylng US all
kinds Of painful " "Heidenees,' and learned
Bridyeeater Treaties, to prove it-has, Of late,
become the most herctica1 Of alI the herctics
who have ever tilted against the bulwarks of
this old, venerable, aud benelicent Religion.
The metaphysical, or, perhaps, Ye should
sny the speculative history Of tho Church,
during the last twenty years, is amongst the
most remarkable of the strange aud startling
phenomena which have pcrplcxed and aston
isIcd the modern world.
When Pusey, and the Oxford Tracts appear
ed, the negative philosophy had reached its
decline in England, and was about dead even
in the United Statcs. Voltatrc, and the French
Encyclopedias had done their best, and worst,
and ceased to influence the English mind !;
Thomas P;line, and his cntirs school Of 1couo-
ciasts, had vanished from the area Of theolos-
zeal discussion-Robtrt Owen aud Parson
Tnylor, and poor muf1led eyed Carlisle (not
Thomas, but RicharD had their disciples, 1t
is true, and most people who were anything
at ali, were materialists. The Church Itself
was mere galvanized corpse, without spirit
ual life; stuck about with flowers and gay
traprings, to keep up the show Of life; with
forms and ceremonies for religion, and having
no hold upon the popular heart except that
which those empty semblances gave them.
PuseJism Has areactionagain this-ab blind
struggle for deeper faith aud life, resting itself
at last upon the esthetics of religion, upon
music, chanting, and the singing Of prayers; !;
upon q mystical belief in the dogmas Of the
Romish Church, which they found pat forth
foracceptancein the Prayer Book-and finally,
belief in tho authority Of Rome oyer the
intellect and tic conscience.
1t WAS q revival, indeed, Of Romanism in an
age Of practical atheism; and the sincerity,
and passion Of devotion which its followers
put into it, gave 1t j high moral s.atns, whilst
the learning with which they invested it, and
the eloquence and ability with which they
advocated it, ensured the respect both Of re-
ligious and secular thinkers.
Scores Of Episcopal clergymen could find
no halfway house between Professionalism aud
