Two sermons from Rev. DIR. Dickin.
SON. OF Richmond, Va

The people Of the Morris-Street
church (cOlored) enjoyed a rich treat
yesterday afternoon in an address By
the Rev. DR.. \. +. Dickinson, editor OF
the Religious Herald, Richmond, Va.
In his address DR.. Dickinson discussed
the following propositions, which he
esteemed of much interest to the colored
Christians of the South The elevation
Of the ministry; the scrupulous protec-
ton Of marriage and the family; the
development of the working power of
each individual and church; the con-
centration of sympathy and missionary
effort upon Africa. The practical
points which the Doctor made, together
with the fraternal way in which he
pressed them, made q favorable and
lasting impression on the minds of his
hearers. DR.. Dickinson also preached
in the pulpit of the Citadel-Square
church last evening to a large and
delighted congregation Charleston

3d-The premiums on a Iontine po-

Life, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event OF death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu-
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in tile event of death at apy
time during the term of the policy, and
are incOntestable after three years, and

THE MODERN NORTH.


Short History of the Evolution OF
Classic Prose Fiction.
There is nothing new under tho sun,
not even the novel. The claim to its
modern invention might be retorted by
the assertion that Joe Miller himself
was born at Athens and educated at
Bagdad by Scandinav an Skald, One
inquirer traces the origin of the novel
to CLASSIC writers, another TO the Norso-
man, third 10 the Arabs; a fourth at
tcmpts TO reconcile the conflicting
theories. Prose fiction, if followed to its
source through molern novels, ideal
romanccs, medieval tales of chivalry
and the ballads Of ruder agos, will
prove 10 DO history told in meter II is
in truth an accommodation of the epic
poem to the average capacity of numer-
Gus readers. Modieval and ideal ro-
mances passed from fact to fiction;
modern novels approXimated from fic-

novels were narrowed by the reaction
against idoal romance into the realism
OF Dcfoe, then expanded into the real

Rome had no novels in the strict sense

bard became dramatist; among the

the Greek bard was the concentrated in
le'ligencc of city; the medieval min
strcl addressed the less cultivated in
mates of scattered baronial halls. 1t
was once conjectured that slavery and
the Oriental separation OF the sexes
robbed classic communities of the nov

its Drom;os, and the subordination OF
