HUMAN LIFE. CONSIDERED ESPECIALLY WITH
REFERENCE TO ITS DURATION. By William
Sweetser, M. d. New York: G.. p. Putnam &
Son. Philadelphia Agent: q. W. Pitcher, No.
66S Chestnut street.
The work before us of DR.. Sweetser is a
curious one, and richly merits attention. The
theory it supports is not a rare one, but to it
he adds a number of interesting facts. The
longevity of the various kinds of beasts and
of men is considered at length, and many in
stances cited to prove that no special class of
laborers are exempt from early graves, nor
are any specially ordained to them. 1t is
generally supposed that intellectual labor
tends to short life. In connection with this
the Doctor gives us some curious instances:-
"The mind, like the body, demands exercise.
Mental inactivity, as society is at present con-
OF mental and their consecutive bodily ills,
Scientific pursuits, and especially those con-
cerned in natures works, ever serve to tran
quilize and satisfy the mind, and thus diffuse
organization.
the field of intellect-of those distinguished for
their learning and zeal for knowledge, If their
genera ent a. ma habits were guided Py Wlsdom-wlll
long lived. Indeed, philosophers have at all
times been distinguished for the length of their
lives. Not that we find among them any ex-
amplei of extraordiD aTy longevity, such as pre-
viously stated, belonging more especially 10 the
working classes, yet many will be found TO have
lived TO eighty, ninety, and some even to a
hundred years, which are now accounted as
great ages.
"In corToboration of the foregoing statement Is ,

or more years. Harvey, the discoverer of the
circulation of the blood, and a voluminous
writer, lived TO be eighty.one; Heberden, a dis

ITALIAN JOURNEY. BY w. D. Howell. New
York: Hurd & Houghton. Philadelphia
Agents. ]. B. Lippincott q Co.
1t is but few weeks since we took occasion
to warmly commend Mr.. Howell's first work
on Italy, 'Vsnetian Life" The second de-
scriptive narrative of what he saw while sta
toned automatically there maintains the
pleasing reputation of the first. 1t is not
work Of genius; in fact, it makes no such pre-
tensions. 1t is an interesting and evidently
truthful narrative of what he actually saw
while in that country. He has pleasant
style, and by his descriptive powers frequently
rises almost to eloquence. His narrative makes
us familiar with the schools, churches, and all
the local institutions of the land which he de-
scribes, and tells..us much that is new. 1t is
written for American readers who have not
visited that land Of history, and by happy
allusion to what we are daily accustomed to
see, brings before us a much more vivid pic
ture than any former writing could effect.
1t is, therefore, publication worthy Of the
first rank.

ONE WIFE Too MANY. BY Edward Hopper
New York: Hurd & Houghton. Philadelphia
Agent: Duff1eld Ashmead.
The very amusing tale in verse before us
deserves commendation. 1t is founded on the
days when the Dutch settlers were the only
citizens of Manhattan, and the scene is laid on
the banks of the Tappan Zee. 1t treats of the
good old days when cider was the only beve-
rage, and o'clock parties were considered an
unheard-of dissipation. 1t tells us Of their man
ners, customs, dress, language, in fact, of all
that is required to picture them to us in
their personal semblance of life. The story is
happily told. The character of the clergyman
and his vixen of wife are well portrayed,
while in many portions it rises to the ridicu-
lous and admirably depicts the comic scenes to
which he was subjected. 1t is told in ryth-
mical verse, and by the constant and sue
cessful changing of the metre, the writer
proves his aptness for versifcation. 1t is
neatly issued, and has several etchings to
serve as illustrations.

THE EVIDENCES OF CHRIsTIANTTY IN THE
NINETEENTH CENTURY. BY Rev. Albert
Barnes, d. ID. New York: Harper Brothers.
Philadelphia Agents: j. b. Lippincott Go.
Mr.. Barnes is already well known to the re-
hgious world as one of the ablest commenta-
tors and essayists of which the Church can boast.
He is deep student, clear thinker, and, in
every respect, an able man. The present work
is publication of series of lectures delivered
by him as the Ely Professor in New York.
They comprise carefully prepared argument
in favor Of the necessity of Divine Revela-
ton, and are both interesting and convincing.
The ground to be covered is wide one. The
field is not only Of great magnitude, but also
of Egreat Importance. A slovenly written or
illogical work would do infinite harm. Mr..
Barnes has appreciated this fact and devoted
all his attention to the task. The result is
success. The work is handsomely published
by Harper & Brothers, and is for sale by ]. B.
Lippincott & Co., of this city.

The massacre was followed by fight of the
persecuted sect, and their establishment in
England. Their labors churches, industries,
wealth, religious fervor, and wonderfully bene-
fetal influence on British society are all ably
narrated in full but rather discursive man
ner. The appendix, which relates to America,
contains the lives of some of the oldest Hugue-
not families and the names of some of their
distinguished descendants. Among them we
find Henry Laurens, John Bayard, Francis
Manin, John Jay, and Elias Boudinot. The
work is ably and well written. 1t devotes toe
much space to the effect on England and
leaves the wide field of the influence they
exerted on the future of America open fol
some future historian of the power of religious
enthusiasm.

suggests the establishment of national Or

what labor position shall they occupy? They
Will learn and think for themselves, and will
soon resort to mechanical pursuits, and thus
come in contact with white labor. 1t was nee
essary that they should not undermine, and.
the best they could do was to form trades unions,

with whites. Cooperation is strongly urged.
The report was referred to committee of
