LITERATURE.
ReYieWa.


Notwithstanding the loss sustained by the Leonard
Scott publishing Company by the recent fire in Full
ton street. we glad to that the republication
OF the great quarterly reviews Of England and Scot
land win not be delayed.
Tne Westminster Rerte,o for October opens with
an interesting and somewhat laudatory review OF
"The Quakersn followed by an account Of "The
Poems and Prose Remains OF Arthur Hugh Clougn,"
which, edited by his wife. have recently been pub
lshed IN London. "Water Supply OF London" "Sun.
day Liberty" and 'The Afghan Tribes on Our Trans
Indus Frontier" are excellent papers. "The Natural
History Of Moras'' is severe review Of Mr.. Leckys
"History OF European Morals" As the wrlGer
admits himself beever IN the unitarian school 1t
Is quite natural that ne should assam Mr.. LecKy's
arguments, which, as far as they support the intui
tive school, we agree with. However, that Is a
question OF opinions and the article very f0rcibly
written. "Ihe Albert Lie Insurance Company
Compulsory Education" and ''Prosttution; Its
Sanitary SUPERINTENDENT by the State" complete
the list OF special reviews. The remainder OF the
contents Consists OF brief notices OF contemporary
LlGerature.n
The London quarterly for october Is an admirable
number. The initial article on slan' VIII attract
attention for its implied defence OF Mohammedanism
Isaac Barrow" and "Higher and Lower Anlmalsn
form subjects for Two interesting papers, The great
feature is, Of course, 'The Byron Mystery" which
has already been published In iull and commented
upon in the HERALD AS i'll the Westminster .sihe
review. "LOrd Lytton's Horace,n a very audatory
review Of a recent publication; "rhe' Reconstruc-
ton OF the irish Church. SaCerdota Celibacy' and
"rhe Past and the Future OF Conservative Policy"
compromise the remainder OF the contents. The last
named Is especially recommended to the perusal OF
all who take an interest IN British politics.
The North British ReUtetu for October contains
articles on "Juventus Muudi," Mr.. Gladstone's
latest work; "rhe Massacre of st. Bartholomew
most exhaustive review, displaying considerable
knowledge OF the subject and imparting large
amount or reliable information. We, however,
have long ago been Influenced to believe that poll
tical considerations actuated the commission OF this
one OF the gravest OF crimes, rather than religious
fanatlclSm, winch was but the cloak that
covered the atrocty OF the deed. ''Tne Different
Schools OF elementary Logger and ''Mr. rowning's
latest Poetry" are able papers. "The Pope and the
Councll' reviews German work OF the same title,
and expresses the belief that the dogma OF the
lnfallbllty OF the Pope VIII be established without
material opposition. The Constitutional Develop
ment OF Austria" IS admirable for its clear EXPOSE
ton OF the progress made py the empire under the
enlightened administration OF Count Beust ''Stua-
ton OF the Land Question IN ireanu," aud short
views OF Contemporary Llterature'' conclude the
contents OF one OF the most interesting OF the quar-
terlleS.

MISCELLANEOUS.
a Real Hero-A Scene at Sea.

Two weeks ago, on board an English
steamer, little ragged boy aged nine years,
was discovered on the fourth day of the out
ward voyage from Liverpool to New York,
aud carried before the first mate, whose duty
it was to deal with such cases. When ques~
toned as 20 the object OF his being slowed
away, and who brought him on board, the
boy, who had beautiful sunny face, and eyes
that looked like the very mirrors of truth,
replied that his stepfather did it, because he
could not afford to keep him, nor to pay his
passage out to Halifax where he had an aunt
who was we'll off, and to whose house he was
going The mate did not believe the story,
in spite Of the winning face and truthful
accents of the boy. He had seen too much
of stow-aways to be easily deceived By them,
he said and it was his firm conviction that
the boy had been brought on board and provi
ded with food by the sailors. The little fell
low was very roughly handled in consequence.
Day by day he was questioned and reques-
toned, but always with the same result. He
did not know sailor on board, and his father
alone had secreted him, and given him the
food which he ate.
At last the mate wearied By the boy
persistence in the same story, and perhaps
little anxious to inculpate the sailors, seized
him one day by the collar, and, dragging him
to the fore, told him that unless he confessed
the truth in ten minutes from that time he
would hang him to the yard arm. he then
made him sit down under it on the deck
All around him were the passengers and SAIL
ors of the midday watch, and in front OF him
stood the incxorable mate, with his chrOnO-
meter in his hand, aud the other officers of the
ship by his side. It was the finest sight said
/ l. 4. Il
the pale, proud, sorrowful face of that noble
boy, his head erect, his beautiful eyes bright
through the tears that suifused them When
eight minutes had fed the mate told him
that he had but two minutes to live, and ad>
vised him to speak the truth and save his life;
but he replied, with the utmost simplicity
and sincerity, by asking the mate if he might
pray.
The mate said nothing, but nodded his
head, and turned as pale as a ghost, and shook
with trembling like reed with the wind
And there, all eyes turned upon him, this
brave and noble little fellow, this poor waif
whom society owned not, and whose own
stepfather could lot care for him-there he
kuelt, with clasped hands and eyes upraised
to Heaven, while he repeated audibly the
Lords Prayer, and prayed the dear Lord Je-
sus to take him to Heaven.
Our informant adds that there then oc,
Cured a scene as of Pcntecost. Sobs broke
from strong, hard hearts. as the mate spfang
forward to the boy and casped him to his
bosom, and kissed him and blessed him and
told him how sincerely he now believed his
story, and how glad he was that he had been
brave enough to face death and be willing to
sacrifice his life for the truth of his own
word -Ne1C IOrE San.

Wednesday morning john Kennedy was

preferred by Randolph Williams oftrespassing
on his premises and destroying bis crops
The parties are the proprietors of premises III
the neghborhood of Chimbo-szo. From
Randolph's accounts and those his witnesses,
John Kennedy was a trespasser from Tres

John over to keep the peace, when he ap-
peaIed thus:
"Why, look here, Cote. Hole on, Cote
Why, hi you amt heard my witness yit"
Court We'll, sir, call them in"
Johns witnesses were called, and in few
minutes an entirely different aspect was put
upon the case. Randolph got to be solicitous
as he saw the disturber of his peaceful posses
sions getting the advantage Of him, aud he
could not refrain from expressing at the end
of some of the sentences of his opposing wit
uesses, Great day in de- mornin' but did

didn't cross de line, because dcre was de line

MANUSCRIPT SERMONs.-From an ex-
change we copy the following local incident
Bishop Meade, of Virginia, at the COM
mencemen5 of his preaching used notes
in the pulpit; but subsequently, he wrote all
his sermons and was much confined to his
manuscripts. It is related of him when he
was preparing book upon the old preachers
and families of Virginia, he asked Mr.. An~
drew Hunter, of Jefferson county, Va, to
give him some anecdotes for the work..
''WeIl Bishop have only one, and that is
about Yourself" LET US have it then" !" said
the prelate. Mr. II. then told the following
MANY years ago, when this Valley Of Vir-
ginia, was much wilder country than now,
You preached here in Jefferson county. You
used no notes on that occasion. A certain
hunter distinguished for his skill with the
rifle and who had supreme contempt for
man who required "A rest from which to shoot,
was in the congregation and listened atten-
lively to you. You wore your clerical robes,
and he was struck with the strange dress as he
had not heard many Episcopal preachers.-
After the sermon, some one asked him how
he liked the preacher. Hes right down
good preacher, said the hunter; and, by the
way, he's the only one of them petticoat
preachers that ever heard that could preach
,rithout rest"

Street and Spring Lane, in Staunton, was Sc
riousIy injured about o'clock on last Satur-
day morning He got up from his bed, hoist

falling to the pavement, distance of about
25 feet When in the act of falling he seized
hold of the outside shutter, letting himself
down to his full length, thus, to some extent,
breaking the force of the fall. He fell upon
his feet, fracturing the bones in his right leg
from the knee down, and severely spraining
the left ankle and foot.

SING FOR ME.
BY WILLIE S. HreeIN

Oh. sing for me that sweet, sad cong once more
IT will ease my weary weight OF pain;
heard it last in that bright land
Where Miami flows Ger silver sand,
Fer wore the foeinau's chain.
! loved that song when but boy
roamed the orange bowers among;
Our glorious land was ever bright,
Our hearts were free from care or blight,
Twas then that song my sister sung.
Since that blest time my sisters blood
Dyed red the sand where oft trod;
The foemen fired our peaceful hOme5
And | in other lands now roam.
With scarce friend save God.
Yes, lady, sing that sopg once more,
'Tw Ill call up memories OF the Paat;
Your harp strings waken once again,
And let me hear that sweet refrain,
Perhaps it may be my last.

Probably the most contented postmaster
in the world lives at Pretropavolvsk,, in Kan

The Walk at Night.

1t was lonely district in the country, and
the family had neither bread nor -four. No
flour could be obtained until dark, and there
was no one to go for it but Annette, young
girl A mile, and alone, part OF the way
through woods the mother trembed to send
her; yet they could not starve. 1t was moon
light aud a glorious evening, and Annette
bravely undertook the task. The -four was
not quite ready from the mill, and she had
to wait some time. Then she started home-
ward with her bag, looking and listening
every way for sights and sounds. In the dis
tance she heard the roll of wheels and the
voices of men shouting and singing, and COM
ing nearer Poor girl how she trembled
and tried to hide in the shadow of the woods
while they would pass. AS they drew near
she recognized an old familiar tune and the
words of joyful Christian hymn, just as
they passed, the name Of Jesus greeted her,
and the happy words,
Wash all nay sins away
They looked at her with her white bonnet
and bag shining in the moonlight, but rode
on, and Annette with light heart walked
the rest of the way fearing no evil.
The mother. anxious to distress. stood at
the gate watching for her child. "Were.you
afraid 2" ''Yes, mother, until l heard men
singing hymn to Jesus, and then 1 knew
they were good men, aud was afraid no more" J"
SINGING.-SiDging is great institution I"
1t oils the wheels of care, and supplies the
place Of sunshine. A man who sings has a
good heart. Such man not only works
more willingly. but more constantly. 4 sing
ing cobbler will earn as much money again
as one who gives way to low spirits and indi>
gestion. An avaricious man never sings
The man who attacks singing throws stone
at the head of hilarity, and would, if he could
rob June of its roses aud August of its mead
Ow larks. Singing promotes health. strength
ems the voice, the organs of the throat and
lungs, and prevents or cures consumption
