Barnum Castle, and if His Excellency on
his mex visit to st. Thomas will honor

The Rev. Mr. Eddy recently read ar as. say before the Young Mems Gbrist;on A Ss' ss' soclatlon of Brooklyn on the works os Charles Dickens, in which the books of that prosperous author were condemnad With mighty condanasatiou will hereaf- ter oe cleared of these novels, if it ever had any of them. And yet, we should re- gret 1t. If we were Young Christian of the Brooklyn Association. and could not get the works of Dickens in it's library. we should go elsewhere for them, and recon. mend our young friends to do so. Not to know any thing about this marvellous se- rles of books is to be more ignorant of the literature of the last thirty years than one can afford to be. It would be better to read the books, if only to warn people away from them, as Dr. Eddy does That cler. gyman says that he Dever reads Dickens for an hour without being conscious tof in. tellectual depletion and vacuity." He eyi. dently considers this demerit of the books. We regard 1t as merit Some people are never conscious of their intellectual de. pletlon and vacuity" He further says that " 1 cannot believe. that Dickens ever contributed either to develop the intellec. tual power or refine the tate of single reader" The Doctor says he fears we may consider this "severe." We do moi. at least on Dickens. but it is rather severe on Eddy; but that is not our business. if he likes his judgment to be measured by the expression of such an opinion. But Dr. Eddy mistakes the mission of Dickens. He is, like Dr. Eddy, preacher. And we don't like to make mparisons-but if ever the Doctor produces so good chari. y sermon as the Christmas Carol. he will not have lived in vain.-Courant

While the question of education for thu people IS being actively discussed in Eng. land and our American system of free schools receiving much attention and praise it is not little surprising that an Ameri- can Bishop should be engaged in the task of warning the people of England not to adopt it. The Bishop of Tennessee has been featuring at Cambridge upon the sub- ject of popular education. He said that he believed in educating the masses; but that the education ought to be religious one. Secular education alone, he argued
 would be treason to God and ruin to the race. He condemned the secular educa. ton of the United States, which did a good thing in training citizens for the business of life; but without 8 religious education Americans were unfit for the duties of life. When it is remembered that the Riaht Reverend Gentleman was chaplain in ths rebel army during the war, it must be sd- mitted that has strong reasons to d;sI;h~ !. system which gave such advantare- to the north during the struggle.

 The New York Mail in it's sketches of the prominent men who attended the Diokens dinner, gives us the following of Governor Hawley:
 Connecticut has been for so many vears the first fighting ground of every political campaign, that the guests were particularly interested in the representative of that state, Ex-Governor Hawley. He was pres. ent, however, not as politician, nor vat as one of our best general officers in fhe re6ellion-simply as the representative of the Hartford Courant. He is a man of fnll proportlons-broad shoulders-a larger waist than he once had-of good height. He has full healthy face; slaves his cheeks only, leaving fine moustache and color. ""'A 0ro"n
 Coy. Hawley made the best after.dinns, speech-if we regard it purelEas an after. dinner effort-of the .ening. Curtis waa oratorlcal, impressive, interesting. Haw. leW spoke without fair preparation--fin. ently, gracefully, amusingly. He "enter. tained" his hearers; they enjoyed what ba sald' were sorry to have him finish. and forgot what he had said by the time he had reached his seat. This is our beau.ideal off q true er-dinner speech. On great pub. llc' international occasions, of course. ona or two such speeches as that of MT. Curtis ana Mr. Raymond are appropriate enough.
