THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW for
January opens with a symposium III
which three Of the most prominent
advocates in this country of the "Re-
vision Of Church Creeds,'' namely
Rev. DR.. Newman Smyth, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher and Rev. Lyman Alb
bott, set forth the grounds upon which
such revision is deemed necessary as
defense of revealed religion against the
encroachments of skepticism, and as
an adjustment Of the relations between
faith and science. University Edu-
cation for Women" a question that
just now is being warmly agitated
both here and in England, is discussed
by Prof. w. LIE Conte Stevens, who,
though he zealously advocates the
measure, commands the attention and
respect of its opponents by the emil
nent fairness with which he states the
adverse arguments. Prof. Isaac L..
Rice gives a "Defnition Of Liberty" "
deduced from profoundly philosophi-
cal study of the phases of political
evolution, from the earliest Anglo
Saxon times to the present day.
American English" by Gilbert M.
Tucker, is spirited defense of els
Atlantic fashion of English speech
against the aspersions Of sundry
British critics. The Rev. DIR. ii. w.
Thomas writes an article that can
hardly fail to strike sympathetic
chord in many mind, on 1.-THE Re-
sponsibilities of Progressive Think

fession," by DIR. David Hunt, is pro-
test, from the pen of a respected
member Of the medical profession.

poses some Of the grave evils to be
apprehended from the monopolization
of telegraph lines, press associations
and influential journals. Published

ON Monday we received from the great
type foundry of Marder, Luse & Co., of
Chicago, one hundred pounds more of that
beautiful, clear Brewer type which we
have been using for the past year and a

is set in this type. We have been work

SO much fine type-Nonpareil and Agate.
We now make the Standard the most
handsome, as well as the best paper in

"SHE HAS A BAD NAME"

"Lct not them that mine enemies ooronafulty
rejoice me; neither let them eoi1k aOh the eye
that hate eoithout catse"-Ps. 35-19.
Oh who shall repair tho poor heartsrngs that break
At the fear of Society's frown?
What man what woman will dare undertake
To censure the efforts self-righteous make
To drag the unfortunate down?
In the world she is fendless-no sad eyes shall
When she flies from the to the crown;
Though her life be pure the zephyrs that sweep
Ger the flowers that reptile, Suspicion, may creep
And drag the unfortunate down.
Soft lips and soft heads, that may have known
Aught of joy, Fashions renown,
May wrong whose life is pure as their own;
And add to the measure of cruelty shown
In dragging unfortunates down.
Small feet hasten by when she moves DER the street.
Small hands closely draw the rich gown
Lest by contact with her, they be thought indiscree
While small painted lips, by Fashion called sweet,
Cry the poor unfortunate down.
Though villain may start the dread that flies,
Like whirlwind throughout the town,
The voice of our "circle"-how loudly it cries !
We must mock the poor spirit and laugh at its sigs
And drag the unfortunate down.
All where does that river of Charity flow,
Where she all her troubles may droWn?
Is there sacred place where her poor heart may glow
With prompngs of friendshpand meet not the blow
That strikes the unfortunate down?
When through the dark valley Savior had passed,
And emerged from the sepuchre's frown,
From aoonanzy eyes the first welcome was cast
Fair woman who had at the cross been the last
'Ts she whom the world would drag down.
Let us lift up the fallen, and strengthen the weak
If our own lives with joy would CROWN
Let each live life that is Chrst-ike and meek,
For with God in our hearts, never will seek
Te drag the unfortunate down.
