rlANIrr. From the French OF Athanasc C0querel
the younger by f. T.. Evans, Prof in ue
University Of Michigan. Boston, WIN. V. Spen-
cer
The purpose Of this book professedly is to show
the influence Of previous religious views and educa-
tion upon Christianity, Immediately succeeding the
death Of Christ as ofJews, Greeks aud Romans.
The theory of the author is that Paul Peter John,
Stephen, and all the branches OF the primitive
church, varied from each other and from true
Christianity, though all possessing the truth essen
tally; and 80 it will and ever must be. since man
never can reach perfection We presume, there
fore, that this man has been unconscousy and hon
estly swervod somewhat from truth by his own
early education, opinions, wishes, aud that the
history the philosophy, aud the theology he teaches
are not TO be regarded quite perfect. The au-
thor suppose Is allied with what nov calls itself
the Liberal party in religion For saleat Wilder s.
BEECHEWs Novtr.-'rhe second iustalment gives
capital sketches Of vari ius characters particularly
Of jolly deacon and hi. anxious wife Nobody
but clergyman can give snch pictures, and no
clergyman can do t better than b echcr. He un-
derstands and has the power Of admirably describ-
ing both the humorous and the sad side Of christian
character. We doubt if any novel was ever so
successful atthe start. OF the FIRST number, three
hundred and scveny-two thousand copies have al
ready been printed.

A MmNGHr COUNCIL OF WAR-One OF the
best of the hitherto untold stories OF the war, and
now told most effectively. is the following sketch
of the midnight council Of Gen Grant and his
corps comminders after the close of the first days
fghting in the Wilderness:--
The result Of the fierce conflict had been adj
verse to the army Of the United States. General
Lee had flung one wing Of his army between our
forces and the base of their supplies which would
require another battle TO regain them Each diyi-
sion and corps commander knew this sad condi-
tion of affairs. They were all summoned to a
council OF war, to be held at the headquarters at
o'clock at night. They were the saddest steps
ever taken by that band OF devoted hearts. FIT
teen thousand brave soldiers, dead or dying. or
wounded, were lying on the field hard by One
after another entered, and after making a noise
less salute silently took their seats Gems Scho-
field Meade, Burnside Sickles, Howard and 9TH
ers believe, were there. Not a word was spo-
ken full half hour thus passed by. Their
emotions were too deep for utterance Hopes of
millions hung on the decision of that council
At length Gen. Grant asked each in success
sion If they had any advice to proffsr. Each one
answered with a sad monosyllable, "No!n The
commander then wrote a few lines, aud handed
the slip TO Gen. Meade and be retired. This was
repeated until all were gone, and the general was
left alone. One of the staff of a division com
nander, who was sick, the last to retire, and
he is authority for the above. All were ignorant
of each others order. They felt assured that re-
treat had been directed. Any other alternative
would have been believed to be madness Had
they known that the order had been given to ad-
vance, instant and universal mutny would have
been raised. That eloquent silence for which he
has ever been noted, was the key to his success
there. The next morning each corps moved, and
Gen. Lee, the instant he perceived it. with vehe-
mence exclaimed '"Our enemy have a leader at
last, and our cause is lostln He had bid his Off
GERS the night before TO let their soldiers sleep
long. But now he saw the army whom he thought
utterly defeated, moving round between him aud
his base Of supplies. He fastened to begin re-
tracing his course, and confessed to an artillery
officer of the confederate army that the doom Of
their cause was sealed.

A WALK WITH LOUIS NAPOLEON
THE SICK MAJ OF FnAxcE.-The Paris
correspondent of the Chicago Republi-
can says:
had, will not say the pleasure, but
the opportunity, of accompanying the
Emperor yesterday in the walk which
he was taking on foot. leaning upon
Cen. Fleury's arm. mean that
walked intentionally along the same
path. observed nina cat may look
at king'-with the utmost attention.
My conclusion is that he is Us low as
any man can be to keep alive. His
thighs have so little strength In them
that it is as much as he can do to put
one foot after the other, and he is
obliged to drag his feet rather than
walk, thus making sort of circle with
his foot every time he brings IL forward.
His shoulders are completely hollow.
and he looks like the letter s, His
complexion is OF a leaden hue, like that
OF persons who are in the last period OF
liver complaint. The dull and CLASSY
eye IS the same as ever. There was not
shout, not bow. 1t seemed as
though he was present at mis- own ,fu
neral while still alive. The emnire and
the Emperor are decidedly both on
their last legs.

lark singeth to his mate, so she maketh
a joyful noise in all her house.
She maketh up her bed, and beateth
the pillows thereof; and like as an eagle
stirreth up her nest, so she stirreth up
the feathers, and sprendeth on the

She layeth her hand to the wash tub
and rubbeth upon the board, making
clean the fine linen; her hands take
fast hold of the wringer. and by turn
ing the crank the water thereof is
pressed out.
She clotheth her family in pure gar
nents when she has made them smooth
with hot iron, and by reason thereof
her husband is made cOmely when he
sitteth among the chief men, or walk

She kneadeth up her dough and bak-

to every one she giveth piece of bread,
and butter of kline.
She provideth her dinner in due sea-

good man returneth, at the end of the
day, weary with his labors and the
strife of men.
She looketh we'll to the ways of her
household: and scorneth the idle wo-
man with her delicate hands, who lieth

France AMI pr,l>SIa.

The belief is prevalent in Europe, as
we'll as in this couu try, that France and
Prussia will settle their difficulties
about Luxembourg by an appeal to
arms. Letters of recent date from
Paris declare that the approximations of
war is seriously affecting all kind Of
business in France. The people believe
that the contest is close at hand. The
predicament in which France is placed
is thus stated by Paris paper never
favorable to the annexation of that
province to France, says:
1.-THE question OF Luxembourg Is no
longer one OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, II IS one
of national dignity aud influence. \
great country like France is always at
liberty not to put forward pretenSiOnS.
but the day it does put them forward
aud considers them Just, it cannot re-
nouuce them mt the bidding OF any for
eigu power, especially when that power
has no right of its own. The day when
II is otherwise, the day when France ex-
pressed her wish only to bend before
the injuuCtiOns Of the foreigner, She is
no longer power even OF the third
rank, and, to use NJ. THEIRS expression,
she is no more than Belgium. The con-
clusion to be drawn from the article Of
the EtendIrd is, then, either the evRcu-
alton OF Luxembourg by Prussia. or
