the auspices OF the Xavier Alumni and was heard
with great attention. Mr.. Doughcrty treated his
subject in large and comprehensive fashion. His
humorous modes Of Illustration and his powerful
faculty OF imitation cenvused the audience at
times. He spoke OF his early experiences when
first entering into public life, and OF his political
efforts when he had TO follow George NJ

Twenty or thirty years ago 1t was customary for

A Wonder of Literature.

In Appleton's Journal for the 25th of
January we find the following descrip-
ton:
"The most extraordinary book ever
seen on this side of the Atlantic is now
on exhibition at the store of Mr.. Bouton,
of this city. 1t is copy of the Bible,
expanded by inlaying and illustration,
to sixty imperial-folio volumes. This re-
markable monument of patience and zeal
is the work of Mr.. James Gibbs, of Lon
don, who occupied nearly forty years in
collecting and arranging the materials for
it. The illustrations, numbering some
thirty thousand in all, comprise numerous
drawings by Raphael, Caracci, and a
dozen others of the celebrated masters of
the old time, and some also by famous
modern artists; engravings and etchings
from the most noted hands; early wood
cuts, and illuminations or missal paint
ings, on both paper and vellum, some of
which date as early as thes beginning of
the fourteenth century. This wonderful
book is vast gallery OF Christian art, in
which every master of the earlier times is
worthilv represented, and contains, be.
sides, some of the best works of modern
artists. The price of the work is ten
thousand dollars"
This most remarkable of all known edi-
tions of the Bible was lately bought by
Theodore Irwin, Esq, of this city. who
is becoming widely known as book fan
cier and collector. 1t is in sixty enor-
nous volumes, and as much a curiosity

Miscellaneous Reading.
THE GODS OF THE HEARTH.

ONLY picture, dimmed and smirched
BY many a weary year.
OnIv plant with rugged stem,
Its scant leaves frail and sere.
Only book, its pages torn,
Its dainty binding stained.
Only harp. with its music Jared,
ItS strings all dumb and strained
Only phrase that strikes the ear, -
As awkward. dull, or cold
Only ring, with It's jewel fawed,
And rust on its tarnished gold.
Yet, that portrait stirs one secret heart,
As no masters work can do.
Those flowers for one outbloom all buds,
OF royal scent and hue.
No poets golden utterance
Charms as those pages did
NJ lutte has melody half so sweet
In its measured cadence hid.
Those rough, frank words. courtly phrase,
Sounds scarce so dear or true.
No sapphire shrines the glow that once,
The poor, pale turquoise knew.
The Gods of the Hearth they reign supreme
On the eltar of the heart.
Life fla, hes on its varying way,
Each takes his destined part.
The wheel revolves, the sunlights CLINT,
Storms roar, and quick rains fall.
The thorns grow thick on the roses stem,
Death strikes, to end it all;
But oh, it's only His mighty hand
That can hurl them from their throne:
The gods that Home, and Heart, and Hearth,
In love unite to own.
