ID PhiIadelphis: J. B. LipPincott i
Co. 1865.
Tho author Of these "Hours among the
Gospels; Or, Wsyside Truths from the Life
Of Our Lord" !" has written book possessed
of the merit of novelty, in some respects,
and of general suggestiveness. He says
that in pursuing the study of the Gospel
records, he has noted such passages as have
been found to receive striking illustration
| from unexpected sources. The chief Of
these; with the illustrations, are herewith
presented. sometimes the illustration
comes from outside the Gospel history.
Often the narrative in one of the Gospels
fuds its complement in the parallel nsrra-
tive of another Of the Gospels.
| We have no doubt that readers of reli-
uious books will find much TO interest and
instruct them in this volume.

All the letters they have received are
pointed and earnest in their expressions
for an increase Of tariff. The common
sense of the masses goes straight TO the
heart of this question. From every town
comes up the voice Of the PeOPle-all de-
manding more decided action and stronger
legislation for the security Of their indus
trial pursuits. The following Pithy letter
is from an intelligent farmer in Medina
county. Like all well posted and correct
ressoners, he views the interests OF agri-
culture and manufactures as identical. We
commend his sensible remarks 70 the good
Judgment of our farming and business
communities:
"If right policy had been adopted, as ad-
vocsted in the days Of Clay and Webster,
we might now be EuglRnd's competitor,
and compel shat nation to import from us
not we from her. We are wading In the
deep waters of extravaganza, importing
and consuming in blind disregard OF our
own internal resources and policy. The
whole West is comparatively idle, Wnllt
there is employment for millions. Indus

~General Carl Shurz writes to the
Boston Advertiser from Charleston, to
the effect that according to his observa-
tons the free labor system of that region
is not, in majority of cases, underta-
ken in good faith on the part of the
planters. They effect to disbelieve in
ihe possibility Of its success, and so act
as make it failure if possible. Should
the military be removed, the whites
would at once &C: upon the theory that
the blacks will not work except on COM
pulsion. He thinks that under the cir
cumstances, the freedmen are doing Q
"middliRg fair" show of labor. He says
further, that at the close of the war the
planters attempted to keep their former
slaves on the plantations, believing that
so soon as civil government should be
restored the emancipation proclamation
would be declared unconstitutional, and
the negroes be again restored to slavery.
General Shurz, it will be remembered,
was sent South by the President to maks
observations as to the working of bis
experiment" of reconstruction.
