RE VIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

The IMpRovIsATORE. By Hans Christian An
dersen. Translated from the Danish by
Mary Hewitt Published by Hurd &
Houghton. Philadelphia agent: George
Geb6ie, No. 73J SAMSON street.
BY undertaking the issue of a complete
series of Hans Christian Andersen's writings,
the publishers of this volume are doing a
genuine service to the reading public of Ame-
rica There is no living writer who better
deserves hearty and emphatic welcome than
the delightful Danish prose poet, and there is
none who is more likely to be received into
the households of the land as a familiar frie2d.
Andersen is principally known here as the
fascinating writer of brief stories and
sketches, professedly designed for children,
but about which older readers find a strange
and indefnable charm that always makes them
attractive. Many a boy has read the story of
the "Ugly Little Duck, and wondered what
there was about such comm place theme
that should please him so, and it was only on
reperusing it with even greater pleasure in
after years that he was able to perceive how
much that was charming lay in the quantity
humorous style and the graceful poetry that
embellished trivialities and made them great.
1t is pleasant to believe that the taste for
Andersen's writings is increasing, for it is a
pure and wholesome taste, and there are no
better books than his to place in the hands of
children of all ages to cultivate in them an
appreciation of good literature, and COM
plete set of his works will be an invaluable
addition to any library.
''The Improvisatore" is the most celebrated
of Andersens longer stories, and it therefore
is appropriately made the first volume of this
new and complete American edition, in which
we are pleased to notice that the author has
:pecuniary interest. This work is prose
poem, and while it is difficult to pronounce in
favor of any one Of Andersen's stories, there
are few who will not be disposed to consider
it the most charming of his numerous
writings. The story itself is attractive, and
a deep interest is maintained from first to
last in the fortunes Of the hero, but the chief

Knowing nothing of the mysteries OF the
Order, we are in no position TO Judge of its
ability and disposition to achieve these ends;
but Professor Allen has certainly done much
to increase its popularity by imputing to it
such aims and he has forcibly and elegantly
expressed grand ideas of what it should be-
He also made a suggestion that fell with
peculiar force from his lips, on account of
his long and creditable connection with lead
ing educational institutions. He proposed
that great national Masonic Uni
versity should be established by the
Masonic Order, in which the higher branches
of scientific, literary, and industrial educa-
ton should be taught young men,
and especially to the sons of Masons.
He said that suah monument would
be greater honor to tho Masonic
Orders, and win more lasting fame, ethan
the grandest edifce which the mind of an
operative Master Mason ever designed, or the
hands of operative craftsmen erected"
In this practical, stirring age when men live
in the present and for the future, rather than
inthe past, the suggestions thrown ont by Pro-
fessor Allen in regard to the appropriate mis-
sion of the Templar Knighthood, and the
devotion of the energies of Masonry to lofty
educational purpose, are well calculated to
invest these Orders with increased attractions,
and to impress many of their members with a
desire to assume the new obligations he has
ably described.

TIE KNIGHTS TENPLAR.

THE address delivered by Professor Allen to
the Knights Templar at Horticultural Hall
yesterday was not only appropriate and elo-
quent, but instructive, practical, and sugges-
tive. Unlike many of the oratorical effusions
on such occasions, it was not made up of
mystical references to secret rites or obscure
historical illusions, but it clearly set forth the
avowed objects of the Order, and the duties
which, in the opinion of the speaker, it should
perform.
The knights Templar are described to be a
branch of the Masonic oder differing from
the parent organization in several essential
particulars. While men of every creed who
acknowledge the existence of a Supreme
Being may become Masons, none but Chris
tans can unite with the Templar Knighthood.
In the language of its exponent, 'It processes
to be not only religious, but Christian
order; not only Christian order, but the de-
fender of Christianity"
II is, however, not denominational; all who
believe in the Saviour are privileged to Joints
ranks; and the ministers and laity of all
Christian seets are enabled within its folds TO
unite on a common platform, and to combine
their energies in combating infdelity immo-
rality, and false theories. Professor Allen
contends that the Order serves a useful pur-
pose in breaking down the ''parti-
tion walls of sect" in smoothing the
"asperities of ecclesiastical controversies. " in
making christians move in solid phalanx to
conquer the world for Christ, and in diffus
ing "a Christianity whose fruits shall be JUS
nee, honesty, and truth, humility in pros.

oulties Of the Episcopal Church. is its AFRO
gent position towards other denominations,
and its assumption of a superiority which its
performances in the spreading of Christianity
cannot claim for it. Il is true that large
number of Episcopalians repudiate such
ideas of superiority, but it is also true that
the Church. as a Church, holds them; and so
long as it does deny the right of those out
side of its communion to preach the gospel
and administer the saoraments refusing to
affiliate with them in promoting the cause of
Christianity, 30 long will it be unpopular with
great mass of the people, and unable to cope
with any decided effect with the powers of
sin and Satan.
The work which the Christian Church is
called upon to perform is too important and
the wickedness in high places and low places
is too great for Christians, whether olergymen
or laymen TO be wasting their time and ener-
gies in pitiful squabbles about such silly sab
iects as ritualism, and in quarrels about
denominational differences which have
nothing to do with the principles of Chris
tianity and which ought to be decided wholly
by individual preferences.

No. 629 Chestnut street, Philadelphia
Gents:-A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 49, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
1t useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neghborhood for several hours, but supposng it to
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited no ALARM The TOOLS with the exception
OF the drills, were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared but perfectly familiar with the
construction Of your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
Bankers Chests are what you claim for them, Bur-
glar-Proof.
