ELEMENTS OF Intel LEcTUAL, PHILOSOPHY. By
Rev. Joseph Alden, d. D., LID, late President Of
Jefferson College. New York: ID. Appleton & Co.
The aim of this little work is not ambitious. Its
author has endeavored to make it simple but sufi-
GENTLY clear exposition Of the chief principles of
tai science. 1t makes no pretense to an exhaustive
manner of treatment. such thing, indeed being I'M
possible within the limits Of treatise intended for be-
gnners but it is not therefore to be inferred that it
is superficial in character. 1t is simply Elementary
Elementary Exercises in Thinking" is, in fact the
title under which its author chooses describe it. 1t
is designed as class textbook for schools and col
eges for the use Of those who may wish to pursue
their studies without teacher; and 1t seems more
than ordinarily well adapted to facilitate habits Of ac-
curacy and precision in the operations Of the mind.

SNOW BOUND. A Winter Idyl. BY John GreenIeaf
Whittier. Boston: Ticlnor % Fields
We observe that various of our contemporaries are
hastily comparing this poem to the "Deserted Viii
lage'' of Goldsmith There is, indeed, single point
of resemblance between thetwo. Goldsmiths poem
describes the simple aspects of English rural life in
time which has gone by; Whittier in this little 'Vn-
ter Idy has done the same for corresponding phase
Of New England lie in the olden time. But here all
similarity fetween the two certainly ceases. The
manner in which our Quaker bard has treated his
subject is SO different from that of Goldsmith, the
tone of thought, the spirit breathing through his
verse is unlike anything in the Deserted Village"
that no genuine comparison can be instituted be-
tween them. 1t is mainly the OUTWARD aspects
of rural life which are described by the English
poet; Whittier paints for us the sanctuary Of
home. He idealizes for us the New England
household, describing with his own inimitable
delicacy OF touch and tenderness Of feeling the
cred freside where nourished not only the pure
domestic affections, but the deep religious convictions
and the unconquerable love Of liberty which SO dis
tinguish New England character. The poem is not
long, scarcely fifty pages in ALL and 1t is not marked
by those traits Of fiery and vehement energy which
Whittier exhibits in the discussion of any vital ques
ton truth and right. On the contrary it is in the
minor key throughout breathing strain Of tender,
almost mournfu sweetness which will touch the an
swering chords of Imagination or Of memory in
every heart that cherishes the image ola home
Space and time are alike wanting here for any elabo
Ia criticism; nor can we find for any length
ened extracts. Among the great number Of beaut-
full passages which we have marked it is difficult to
make selections, but we copy the following as not
ly exquisite in ITSELF but as exhibiting of the
caief characteristics of the entire poem.

raging OF the lire than eXtlnSulShed it. A
rush was made for the nearest well, when the
pump was found producing oil and gas in lib
eral quantities. The pump was then handled
in lively manner, and the water becoming
exhausted, the oil continued to flow with a
stream the full size ofathe spout, the fire los
ing all interest except to the losers. ~.
Soon other wells and springs commenced
rspouting oil. The news spread with the
swiftness of the wind. Hundreds who knew
nothing of the fire till they arrived in the
neighborhood, were fastening to see water
wells flowing OIL The streets and hotels have
been filling with people arriving from all parts
to see those flowing oil springs, which are re-
garded as the greatest curiosities yet SEEN
Nothing like it has been seen in the oil re-
gions, and Pfthole, which has, until of late,
been remarkably free from sensation, begins
to grow feverish again. g aa.s~sg
Men who approached these novelties with
one only acknowledgement away sat
isfied that Pithole as rocket has but half as
cended. Numberless wells and springs on
each side Of Holmden Street, 1.-THE main street
of the city, and in the very heart of the city,
yield oil freely. One of these is producing
full fifty barrels per day. The ground seems
fairly saturated with oil. One man dug
hole in the ground foot deep and in few
minutes got pailful for his trouble, soon a
barrel. Scientific men are greatly puzzled to
give an intelligent answer to the query as to
the cause Of this sudden outpouring of ma
lures liquid treasures, and the perplexity is
enhanced by the fact Of the flow of salt water
and gas with the oil, which according to best
experience is one Of the most favorable signs.
