New York: d. Appleton & Co. ls6s. For

This is somewhat quaint and curious book in
both matter and style. Its characters and leading
incidents are taken from one of the mostromantic
periods Of English history-that which comprises
the wars of the rOses. 1t includes among its per-
sonages the accomplished and daring, but unfor-
tunate queen, Marguerite Of ADJou, and also the
formidable insurrectionary leader, made famous
by Mr.. Forrest on the American stage, Jack Cade.
The language is supposed to be that of an Eng
lish maid of honor, who attended Marguerite
while she was in England.

MRS. JAMES ROBB.-The announcement OF the
death Of Elizabeth Church, wife of James Robb,
of New Orleans, most lovely and estimable lady,
will carry sorrow to the hearts of all whose priv.
lege il has been to know her. There are friends
TO mourn her loss in our city as well as in New
Orleans.
Mrs. Robb was the daughter Of the Rev. Dr..
Church, the eminent president Of the University OF
Georgia, al Athens, where she was born. Crow
ing up in an atmosphere OF learning and refine
ment her naturally good mind was enlarged by
liberal education, and she readily acquired every
accomplishment that could set of her rare per.
sOnal beauty. But her most attractive grace Of
character manifested itself in numberess good
deeds. Many dying soldier in hospital, during
the recent unhappy war, blessed her shadow on
the walk, as did the heroes Of the Crimes that Of
Florence Nightingale; and many asurvivOr of the
conflict will grieye TO know that the gentle lady
whose tender hands ministered 10 his sulerings
has passed from earth. Among those who bore
the pail % her funeral were men whose names
are historic as among the most illustrious actors
on either side OF the late struggle.
Mrs. RObb was best with all shat can render
life desirable, with slluence, with the homage OF
" troops Of iriends,n with the tenderest love of
an only daughter and sOn-iu-law, with the cOnd.
dence and affection Of those to whom she stood in
the relation Of mother through a second marriage,
and with the fOndncss Of the kind6st and most de-
voted Of husbands, when il pleased God to take
her 10 himself.
The Rev. Dr. Adams performed the funeral ser
vice on Sunday, the l2th of January, at her late
residence in West Twentieth street in this city,
and the following gentlemen acted as pail bear
ers: Alexander I. Stewart, General Robert An
deTson, Royal Phelps, William Redmond, General
James LoDgstreet, General Robert q. Wood and
the Hon. John +. Ward.
Mrs. Robb was the widow Of Colonel Craig, of
the United States army, who was killed on the
plains during the Indian war by deserter while
attempting his arrest Athens is one Of the live
liest places in Georgia which escaped the rayages

Hot NovELs-The London Review finds Il Diff
cult TO solve the problem why the ladies' should
write hot novels. II we were TO accept these
singular rawlings after broad shoulders and mus.
tscbes as indicating general feeling existent in
the modern female mind, it would not raise our
opinion of the sex. The way 20 look at the mat
ter. however, is this Women write for men just
as they dress for men. Those books 50 full OF in
articuate murmurings after seducers are intended
for the use 'Of males. They represent the COM
plinent which the feminine part Of English hu-
nan nature pays TO the masculine portion. We
are presented at the opera with much Of the
form of beauty beauty can venture
TO display with a safe conscience, and in
our studies or the club rooms, where Nude
Is in requisitiOn, we can get glimpses OF the most
secret reCesses Of the heart as it burns with the
fire Of passion, and leaps il fits aud starts into
positively sco.ching flames OF guilty affection.
For in q hot novel the love must be improper; il
ia nothing TO speak of if not improper. The fact
Of its being adUlterOus impsrts TO il a relish of
which the fair writer never for moment allows
you TO pass over; she commends it on that score
as strongly as a host cOmmends his wine. In the
DAYS of Fielding or Smellett, passages of this
sort invariably led to direct consequences, and
the affair was over without any exhibition OF
the fine art of unchastity which consists in
dwelling for three columns upon the brink of q
moral cesspOol: but now we have changed all
that. Hot novels are constructed upon a diff
ferent principle. Coarseness might repel; you
have the snake without its rattle. We have also
introduced blsspbemy as new feature. COur-
age, according TO DIR. Johnson, is one Of the FIRST
OF virtues; if people DO not possess it, it 10 sup
posed they have no security for keeping any
other. The compiler of hot novels has courage
enough 10 defy decency and religious scrnples in
the same breath. A heroine places hell on one
side sUd her lover on the other This must have
fine effect on the growing romantic intellect Of
the period. a young lady or a gentleman inter-
esed in q woman vibrating between damnation
and sen-ibilitY for other peoples husbands must
acquire, without knowing it, noble regard for
duty and similar weakness We do not mean to
say that hot novels are intended food for young
stomacLs, or that the writers are bound 10 supply
pap but We merely indicate the circumstances,
ard may venture 10 assert that even adult persons
may he slightly shocked at finding IN a book de-
lrOus criticisms side by side with pious associa-
tiOns.

Sleep, which casuists tell % is the only cOndi-
ton in which we are without sin, seems TO be a
state that we are all of US ashamed of. aud which
many people appear TO regard as little less than
criminal. If il were not 80, why should we re-.
gard our bed-chambers as such penetralia of
privacy; or deny with an intensity approaching
irritation, when discovered browsing, that we
have been asleep? Did you, reader, ever see any
one who confessed himself asleep outside Of his
own chamber, even though he had been totally
unconscious for hours and snoring like a por-
poise? We all think sleep dsrepUtable, that is
certain, which may explain the reason why early
riseTs always consider themselves Of superior
virtue, and bully everybody who does not
choose to get up when they do. All policemen
and custodians of prOpriety deem it their duty
lot TO let any mortal sleep in public on pain
of being rudely and Indignantly aroused. "YOu
mustn't sleep here!' we have heard threaten
ipgly and violently uttered to quiet gentlemen at
hotels, in theaters and the parks, as if they had
actually committed not only breace of the peace,
but violated all the articles Of the decslOgue.
And if the poor fellows drop oil again they are
treated a. cuprits to whom reform Is impossible.
This idOsyncTssy on the part Of the preseryers Of
morals and manners we have never quite
fsthOmed. But We opine thst OVy unwillingness
to be found asleep lies in the facG that then we
are of our guard, and in the power Of the wake.

PROOF THAT MORE CHARTER OAKS ARE SOLD
THAN ANY.-The assessors return at ST. Louis,
January p, 1865, shows that Giles F. Filley, the
pstentte and inventor of the charter oak stove,
melted 2724 500 1000 tons OF iron during the past
year in the manufacture of stoves and hollow
ware, being more than the total aggregate OF all
other foundries combined. The demand for the
charter OAK, as will be seen from these facts,
probably exceeds that of any other stove made
with downward fue construction. hessrs. Rice,
Brothers Co., dealers in hardware, stoves, ETC.,
SO and 81 Camp street, and sos Magazine street,
are the agents for the old charter oak.
