But then there is another drawback to the selection of @ good stock of the purest style of reading for youth. The market does Rot supply them. The pnblishers can’t get hem and the authors who can make solentiiic or Christian truth plain and interesting to young i minds are lamentably {few. One publishing house of tus city had for many months a we believe for the ee offer of it essay On Sunday school literature with special Feference to scientiiic instruction, but could not obtain a suitable response, Another reason why the sunday school libraries of our city are so badly looked alter and supplied is that the most iavelll- gent ‘men and women of the church do not invercat ves @t all in the success of the schools, THD BEST TALENT Keeps aloof and the poorer material must be eer. fully accepted, Instead of deeming the moral ot sure and ing of the young of the frst and moss vital importance, parents seem to consider that 80 long as their chileren are in the churoh or the Sun- ‘School they are ‘out of the way,” and that is the maximum oO! their care. The same lack o1 interest by intelligent and godly men which had given our mau government ver to the hands of illiterate and impious men is oper: io our Sunday é) schools to their deterioration and injury. The best bowers should sow the weeds if they would zoey, ne golden harvests by and by.

Various devices have been suggested and adopted here and there, now and to remedy this evil, The chilaren are allowed to choose for themselves from the library catalogue, and after they haye read @ book once they pass the word from one to another about ita merits or demerits, as tue case May be and it lies or the shelf unsought for agen. Hence comparatively few of the boys in our Sunday schools take books out of the library. ‘The giris are more studious, but they seek the light Kind of reading, and run throngh the book very Pavidly, for it must be returned the following Sab- bath, read or unread, The more hasilly bod glance through it the better for themselves, of course, for ch inane and meaningless twaddle anould never ve been Paige in their besgene ‘The Sunday school music and hymns are abou! paually divided between bad, better, best, the bi wing, by far, the largest proporiion of bot! ‘Until recently the Sunday schools of this city used very largely @ collection of hymns compiled by Mr, Samuel Booth, of Brooklyn; but these have been superseded by very much that is ee and dog- gerel, without any real poetry or sentiment in the words or wares etic child-stratns in the music, mene childre! properly instructed, living in thia stian city land, asking weir teach ers the queations— bere nd can children ever go. * ‘here eternal Sabbaths glow ?

Ministers and old maids write agreat deal o1 our modern child poetry and music, and their productions, like themselves in a measure, have no sympathy with those for hose - wathetical tastes they write and sing. Of Gourse most of these productions are fathered by Other authors, ‘Zhe Sunday school rooms, in whtch the children Meéct and spend three or four hours every Sabbath, are in general the very opposite of what such placed should be—dark, dreary, ill-veutilated, cheerless. ‘The fow pictures, maps oF illuminated cards which ang around the walls do not counterbalance the Jack of light and alr snd cheerfulness which should characterize such places. There are rooms im nis city ten or more the sidewalk, and from whose walls the damp sweat can be gathered im quantities at any time of the day’or night, are, however, some honorable exceptions charge, but the majority are not 80. wondered at, therefore, that ‘with such uncomfortable and cheerless meeting rooms, such silly, meaningless hymns and musi and soch trashy books and tedious “hores,” th obildren should preier to be outside of the school- room rather than within. And to tis may be @tiributed this modern habit of boys and giris Jounging 1n the halls or on the steps of our churches nd scuools instead of being inside engaging in the gervices. A pastor of this city some time ago com- jained of and protested against this evil, but tne inday school OMicers were powerless to correct it, ‘veon boys of the school met their MINISTER ON THE STREET CORNER end chatted with him, but refused to enter the senoolroom with him because ‘they did not want to.” And very frequentiy the first steps in crime are taken by boys m this way.

He Delivers a Sermon and Makes a Striking Impression Among Uncle Sam's Tars, UnNrrep STATES STBAMSHIP ee) Oi Villefranche, Frag”, Nov. 80, 1871. One of the eventful days in tne cruise of this ship, as far as peaceful and passive matters are con- cerned, passed over us yesterday. It was the occa sion of a visit from Rev. Charles Spurgeon, the eminent Baptist divine. This gentleman had lately arrived at Nice, at his hotel, in which nis acquaint- ance was sought and made by Captain Wells, of this vessel, and by that gentleman he was invited on board to preach before the ship’s company, His Temarks partook more of the nature of an address than of a sermon, 4s he adapted the tone of his dis- course in some measure to the comprehension of his audience; but enough of his peculiar and original style remained to mark the man who at present gathers under bis spiritual teaching tho largest con- gregation In the world. Mr. Spurgeon was introducea to the crew by Captain Wells, accompanied with a few appropriate remarks, chiefly bespeaking the attention of the audience, and eulogistic of the man whose fame has reached so far. Mr. Spurgeon opened the services with a short prayer, dwelling principally on tne anchor as the emblem of hope. The Seventy-ninth hymn was then sung, to the air of Old dun- dred, accompanted by the band, He tnen read and explained some verses from Isalah lv., and, after his peculiar manner, stopping as prompted at the end of a line, & senience, or a word, perhaps, and enlarging to bis hearers—a method which in his hands is remarkably succesafal, and renders his teachings ‘clear and simple, The first was illus tratea in this way:—He said, “You have heard Merchants and pedlers who go about the streets to dispose of their wares attract attention to them by crying, ‘Ho? and so this onapter begins; let all who need this nourishment come gnd par- take freely, mot for any recompense, but witnout money and without price, ‘Wherefore do ye,spend money for that which 1s not read Ah! there are so many hungry people. Why, when 8 man is an hungered—a natural want he feels—he supplies himself with the necessary food. For the means to do this he works, and must continue to do go all the days of his life, But for this heavenly food, this divine sustenance, of which he stands in qalte as mucn need, he 18 not only permitted, but exhorted, entreated and im- plored only to hearken—to hearken diligently, and eat that which ts good, without return, without pay, Hearken, then. God cannot be seen; He cannot be woucned. It is the ear which must be inclined; through that and the understanding salvation must be sought. You are not told to see and believe, but hear, hear, hear and belteve. Hearing is the way to the senses, ‘And 1 will make an everlasting cove- nant with you’ God will make @ covenant, a sure agreement, with us. Now, & covenant must oe equally binding on both, Let us hasten, then, to compiete this bargain, in which Jesus i@ our covenant, and in which our share is only obedience and love. ‘Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people.’ Ohrist 1s our commander; ¢prist is our leader. Under his guidance there be nothing but victory—no defeats, no repulses, no lost battles—but steady victory. ‘And nations that knew not thee shail ran unto thee.’ Our dear Lord Jesus wasajew. He knew nothing of Britishers, Americans, Scotch or what nation. We do:not even know that He knows ‘us now; but still he says, ‘Seek ‘ye the Lord, seek Him by prayer; call aloud to Him in your thoughts; call, He is near. Let the wicked forsake nis way. ‘The biggest, blackest sins God will pardon and for- give, Some will say, ‘Ab, that’s too good to be true. 1 nave been too sinful, too wicked, too Gesperately bad vo receive forgiveness. I am past ail hope of redemption.” Ahn! are you then? Listen. ‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.’ Do you hear that? Do not attempt to measure God’s corn by your bushel—to gauge his mind by your narrowness, He 1s not governed by tem- per. He is not like the man who, when very sick, ‘was asked to forgive his enemy, ‘Oh, yes,’ said Sel ee Oe Ln Beers emcee lke tly » ve it nim.’ will forgive the most thundering sins—will blot them out, will erase them entirely—if you will but humbly seek Him and ask Him. Oh, but tnis is @ graud verse, Listen again. ‘kor as the heavens gre higher than thi are ways igher tl Pion ways, and my hts than your thoughts.’ Foras the rain cometh Qad returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, ao the Gospel I reach to you to-aay.

Nothing inter teres with me since that fortunate time.” A prayer was then offered up, pagictines § mainly to the recapituiation of his selection from the Prophet Isalab and its application in is spiritual sense to the wants of bis hearers. The 143d hymn was then rion after which the reguiar address waa deliv. er Mr, Spurgeon took his text from the Gospel ac- cording tw 8t. John, vil, 37—‘Jesus stood and cried, saying, ‘Ii any man thirst, let lim come unto me and drink.’” The expression, my arers, Of @ sentence, of Lobysienpte g or @ discourse is very different from the reading of 1t, In the first Dlace, the speaker can give utterance to his own words, im his own manuer, and send convicuon With them; but in the reading he is likely to be mis- understood. In this description of Carist’s address We are told that He cried—that He stood and cried. in those days it was not customary for the id when addressing the multitude. t down, while his hearers stood how I think sometimes I would be the gainer br the change. But this time Christ stood, as though He said, “Come, now; | am in earnest with you;, I mean to go seriously to work with you now.” I think Ican see Him before me in my mind, stand. and ht upheld, mission, and wearing that look of earnest sadness with which he is represented, '@ are told, too, that he cried. Tnis gives the tones of the speaker's voice; ana this means two things. You nave read elsewhere that he opened lis mouth and taught them, and you say, why, how qould he speak with. out opening his mouth? Why, some people speak with their mouths half closed, and their words are dimicult of egress and hard to distinguish, But our Lord faced the muitituce, and stood and cried to them. The second meuning is that he cried to them in tones that were meiti and plaintive. He felt his suoject so much that he cried tothem. He ‘was fail of bis subject, He was terribly in earnest. He wanted to enlist their sympathics, He was moved, and to move others it is necessary to be moved first—to feel the subject. He said, man thirst.” As the body has & thirst so has the soul, so has the nature, Somotimes the soul gets ay, and then there is need that it be siaked. Then thero 18 a thirst of the consclence, A man hag done wrong and he feels it. He knows it; he nas no rest, no of mind; he cannot sleep; he is tor- mented b; bight and by day; his conscience is thirsty and makes tt known to him on all occasions. At is DOW tweive years aince firat { felt bad—felt the pangs of this conscience thirst, God will punish us js way, and so he ougnt, If he did not he were not God. I remember a poor Irishman, who came to me once in this condition, ana unburdened his heart to oe, id he, “Your ¢ trouble and do not under- 1 20 to be saved!’ I toid nim not to call me Your Riverenoe; but | told him the way to salvation was too plain to be mistaken, But he could not comprehend how the death of Onrist stoned for nis own sing. I saw with whom I had to deal, and J asked him if he had committed a murder and were to be hung, and somebody were to come the policemen. Why, if he were arrested he would say nung tn his place, He then un- derstood the subject and was soon eased of his trou- bles, Then there is a thirst for purity. Are there ‘ny such here who are saffering from this thirat— a@ thirst after Clee 4a love, something to oher- ish, something on wht tw centre the unengaged affections? Some persons keep all their feelings within tuemselves; they conceal them within them- selves, a8 @ person buttons himself in his coat, Some of you have loved a child; some perhaps a wife; all, doubtless, a mother, and the loved object deen removed by death. There ts @ period of grief, tol- lowed by @ votd; there 1s something wanting. There must be something else to love; you are unqulet and uneasy, Ohrist says v0 suc | ‘Come to me.

Christ says this—He ‘who was driven thi the streets to Calvary, was Bera tatdereat ain Gaon mints qq) @ CFOS, FAVE Ui; e, ou Ab, Christ ts a bI bedmaker. Do not think that allisright with you. Aman leery: con- tented with himself is very near a fool, for he is not such a very important personage after all. A word of direcnon now. If any man thirst, let nim come, He does not say go. He does not say go te the min- ister, or to the priest, or to books. If Christ were to sought in that manner it would be difficult for jack to find him. But He says, “Wome to me.” You Teply, “‘Icannot go to heaven for Him; I cannot climb there. How can I go toHim?’ Why, you an go by prayer; by earnest, supplicatory prayer Many of you have kind old mothers, f whom you. sometimes think, and who ave prayed for and with you, You are thinking of er now. Ican see it in your faces. And so, per- aps, when you are distressed you will pray behind ie or in your hammock, but be assured if earn- at it will be heard. I saw a few days since a large ross with the inscription, ““Spes wnica”—tne mly hope.”? Ab, yes! traty the only hope. Let tne anner of the Cross, then, be unfuried at the mast- ead. Many of you know the River Amazon—per- aps have been on it, Well, once there was a ship hat had heavy weather and was blown out of her urse, She suffered from want of provisions— eet more particularly. The stream was so broad where she was that not knowing her reckoning she ought she was still atsea. Seeing another ship e hailed her and asked for water. “Why,” was the reply, all around you; dipit up; you arein fresh water.” Now, so it is with salvation. You have nothing to do but dip it up. The poor Hindoo ls bis body hundreds of miles, sticks weapons in flesh, all to get what you can obtain by ssmrly “aipping it up.’ I remember a poor idiot bo; it whom | once conv , and to whom 1 sald that he had @ soul.

A litte, lasignificant man was pusiung and elbowing his way (orward, and he was stopped with the question, “What are you pushiig for?’ “Why,” said he, “did you not hear? I am calied.”” And instantly all madé way. Just so when the Ke- deemer wants you. Stand away, devils; stand away, doubis; stand away, tears; stand away, angels, everybody. Christ calis me. There is asad story of a poor woman at New- castle-on-Tyno who had @ daughter who went astray. The poor mother prayed for her nightly, and being, Satisfied in the ullimate repentance and return of the girl ene left the back door on the jar always, Sure enough, one night she was startled by the entrance of the git, who threw herself on her mother’s breast and entreated forgiveness. ‘This being freely accorded, sue asked wuo left the door open.

You have only to try it— it—and enter into Hiskingdom. I talked with e: eighty people two weeks since who ex- [apne contrition, but who could not believe that nrist would pardon them. They could not piace their trust in Him, they said. 1 toid them that Might be a good reason for not trusting themselves, who had been bad; but that it was no reason for not trusting Christ, who had never done wrong. And now & word of enlargement.

I entreat, I beg, implore you to “come.” Christ calls you continuaily—is ‘always ready. You will be always welcomed, and will Join to increase the happy sound, ‘ome, come, come, come, ' The exercises were closed by the singfhg of a hymn, and the benediction. A comparison petween Mr. Beecher and Mr. Spurgeon (the latter has a great desire to hear the former) ts not in place here, but will, perhaps, form the basis of another letter. On Thanksgiving Day the men had an excellens dinner, and general jollity prevailed. BROOKLYN AFFAIRS Police Record. The police of the city of Brookiyn arrested 328 persons during the past week.

Winter Extibiet in the Academy of Design. Owing to the pressure on our space we were obliged to close rather abruptly our last notice of the works on exulbition at the National Academy. To- day we resume the examination of thetr merits and demerits, not inthe spirit of severe criticism, but rather of friendly expostulation. It is not our desire to speak with unnecessary harshness of the labors of any of the exmbitors, and will therefore pass in Silence such Works a3 appear to us to possess no re- deeming quaitties, Ib was our Intention to have acted otherwise and to have dealt justly but severely with such works as could offer no justifica- tion for tueir presence; but when reviewing the collection the prospect of having to say so many unkind and harsh,words “gave us pause,” and We conciused that silence would, after all, be the most fitting mode of condemnation. so many @Xcuses have been put forward by those most deeply interested in the success of the Academy, and the promises of reform are evidently made with such sincerity, that we shall wait until the spring exhibition to see how far they shall be carried out. If tne evil continue unabated we shall feel it our duty to call pubiic attention to some necessary modifications in the present manner of admitting works to exhibition, Our last notice con- cluded at No. 30 im the catalogue. Since then a number of paintings from American artists in Rome have been formed into a separate group. None of them possess much merit, A painting of two Italian giris—which 1s the principal work among them—is well composed and drawn with some firm- ness, but the color is disagreeable, ‘These work# have been presented to some American church in Rome, and will be sold for its benefit. It 1s no doubt owing to this reason that most ridicu- lous prices are being asked for, them. Whatever the public or the critics may think of these paint- ings it 1s evident the artists consider them works of great merit, a view which we regret not belag able to share.

The coliections of paintings of Mr. Otto Mundler were lately sold by public auction at Paris. Though the attendance of amateurs was large, the prices Fealized for the works was very moderate, ex- amples by modern artists of reputation, and by such celebrated men as Corregio, Canaletto and Holbein, selling at prices which would be con- sidered very low for paintings of average merit m thiscountry. A painting of St, John surrounded by angels and seraphim was sold for 1,600f, which, considering that the National Academy of London lately acquired his “Ecoe Homo” at a cost of $60,000 in gold, appears to be « ridiculously small price for a work by the greatest painter that has ever ‘lived. Canaletto seems to have more admirers in the French capital, for one of his ‘Views in Venice” brought 2,006f.—a small sum, considering his répu- tation. A portrait by Holbein the eldes was sold for 700t, The “Tempter,” by Steers, for 1,200f. Por- traits of Martin Luther and Catherine de Bord, by Lucas Cranach, 1,080f.

Onr familiar and very interesting friend Paul Du Chailia makes his bow to the pubilc again at this holiday season of the year with anew book. “The Country of the Dwarfs” is one of a series of books, and, perhaps, bis best one, on Equatorial Africa, which embrace a great deal of instructive | matter, details of romantic and thrilling tcidents, and valuable discoveries ina part of the world that had not been explored before, Like Du Chailiu’s other tater works, his annual productions—‘“‘Stories of the Gorilla Country,” “Wild Life Under the Equator,” “Lost in a Jungle,” and “My Apingt Kingdom’’—this 18 written in a free, easy and com- versationa) style. The reader is carried along smoothly, a8 when reading a charming romance, and the scenes and adventures described, though real, are 80 strange that they seem like the creation of the imagination. In the “Country of the Dwarfs’ we see the inception of a grand project, the prepara- tions for carrying it out and the events that marked its progress till arrested py an unfortunate and almost fatal catastrophe, This project was nothing Jess than to cross the African Continent near the line of the Equator, from the Atiantic Ocean to the head waters of the Nile, and thence to descend or follow that river to the Mediterranean. It had long been supposed tnat the sources or head waters of the Nile were near the Equator, and from what is known of them and the conformation of the Conti- nent, 1t is probable they are not more than twenty degrees, or 1,200 miles, and possibly not 1,000 miles, from the Bight of Biafra, or the Commi! country, on the Atiantic, where Du Ohbatilu landed, and from where ne started on nis perilous journey, By re- terring to the map of Africa it will be seen that the Continent narrows very much at the Kquator, Twelve hundred or # thousand miles is @ great distance, it 1s true, but che project of travelling over it to reach the Nile was not impracticable even in that wild country. Properly equipped, with a suitable force, and no extraordinary accidents, Mr. Du Chatlla Might have accomplished his object. When itis considered, too, that he had lived for years in that climate previously, knew and was friendly with the negro tribes and their chiefs along the coast, and understood their language. which would facilitate his intercourse with other tribes of the interior, the scheme does not appear Quixotic, He was well adapted in many respects for such an enterprise. He deserves a great deal of credit for undertaking it, parucularly as be did so with his own limited resources and without the ald of scientific bodies, governments or the wealthy. Ho says of this:— “The abundant results of the saie of my adven- tures in Equatorial Africa, and the proceeds arising from the disposal of my gorillas, and my coliection Of beasts, birds, insects and shells, alone enabled me to undertake this new expedition, for not one dollar has ever been given by any scientific society to help me in my travels or explorations,” It was, then, while marching through the interior with the object mentioned in view, through @ country that no white man had ever trod before, that he discovered the strange tribe of dwarfs o! which he writes in this book, A large portion of the work, however, is devoted to the journey throughout, both before and after he left the “country of the @warfs,”” and to the inci- dents and discoveries all aloug. One of the most interesting parts of the book is that which describes the diMiculty with the Ashangos, which compelled him to return, and the hairbreadth escapes he and his followers had in fighting their way back against hostile nations through the jungle. Noone can read the book without feeling a deep interest in the narrative, while to young people, for whom it ap- pears to be espectally written, 1t will prove a source of great pleasure. For them it will rank with the “Arabian Nights’ Tales” or “Kobinson Crusoe.’ The publishers have embellished 1t with numerous engravings, and have made it in every respect an attractive looking volume. By Randolph B. Marcy, author of “The Prairie eare of Army Life on the Traveller,” “Thirty Border," &o. This book is @ compilation of random sketches, the results of long personal experience 1n @ sphere of life that has heretofore found but few chroniclers, ‘The book abounds with deifneations of incidents and adventures, anecdotes and discriptions of queer characters. The first chapter gives an account of a major of the old régime, who had served under General Jackson in the Oreek Indian campaign and at New Orleans, besides having performed meritort- ous services eisewhere, who never seemed more happy than when fighting his battles over again and recounting the prominent incidents of his life, The Major's conceptive faculties were eminently fertile and vivid, while his memory was far from being rellaple; and the marvellous nel@ such abso- lute sway over every other attribate in his composi- tion that it often impelled bim to “draw a pro- digious long bow.’”? The wonderful “yarns” that this old soldier sping are really enjoyable. His “Quadroon Ball,” “High Game of Faro,” “Lafitte the Pirate,” “Whaling Voyage,” “Absence Without Leave,” “Post Fund Controversy,” “Novel Shaving Machine,” ‘Extraordinary Shot,” “Muskrat Huni- ing’ and ‘American Sovereignty” are all side- splitting, We append a portion of the latter “yarn.” Shortty after the Creek war 1 had occasion to travel the district of er! where Captain H— was mustered, which afforded me # good oppor- tunity to judge of its merits, While upon this yoonent stopped one night at a small log tavern in What was regarded as about the most fertile por- tion of the State, and during the evening a number of the neighboring farmers collected he bar- room of the shanty, where, bone 4 in sundry drinks of applejack, they lit their cob pines and entered into conversation upon the subject of their crops, from whitch it appeared that the season had proved unusually favorable, One of them, who as- sumed quite @ consequential bearing, and seemed to be the nabob of the party, with an air of decided self-gratification, Look occasion to observe that bis plantation had yielded that season something like ven bushels of corn, five bushels of whive beans, two loads of pumpkins, besides afair average of other less important Ly eae would enavie his famuy to subsist bountifully during the ap- proacning winter. Several others of the coterie, in succession, enu- merated_ the products of their plantations volunta- rily, with the exception of one exceedingly tail, lank, ard and unwashed, but eminently independent looking inaividaal, who, seated upon a rude bench in @ corner of the cabin, with his feet resting against the logs above his head, and with his scanty apparel hanging in shreds and tatters about nis loosely jointed ana Person, continued ejecting tho smoke In dense clouds towards the rool, while his blear, smoke-stalned and expressionless optics were turned up In the same direction, indicative of a total indifference to and abstraction’ from the frivolities of all mundane concerns, and as he evinced no dis position to communicate to the assembly the resulta of his agricultural experience, one of the party said to him, ‘*Mister Jeemes, has you been a’cropping on’t much this 7? The only response that the distrait maividual condescenaed to make to this gusty was a0, mphatic ejaculation of the interroga+ tive pronoun, “Which ?”” The question was then re peated in the following torm:— “Mister Jeemes has you pre-ducted a tollible pec- urt chance o’ crops this yere seezing '”” This formal inquiry causea him siowly to depress the elevated line of his vislon from his sky-scraping contempiations until It rested upon the interroga- tor, when, with an air of consequental importance, he responded,— “pil tell ye, gentemen how it war.

General Marcy then gives many comic sketches of army ilfe, portraying the peculiarities of several promiment officers, many of them “chock full” of humor. The author carries you all over the Cuntt. nent and gives you sketches of character in every locality, which will be of interest to those genial natures which have the good fortune to be en~ dowed with a love forthe humorous. After going through the various phases of Indian life, and sketching the peculiarities of several celebra' chiefs, the author adverts to the rapid settiement of the Northwest ; then contrasts tho enterprise of the English and American people, and shows th@ benefits that would be derived from co-operation between the two peoples; speaks sensibly about the Texas Pacific Railroad, the route of the thirty~ fifth parallel ; the North Pacific Railroad, and fin« ishes the book on the Union and Central Pacifio Railroad, “By and large” “Border Reminia cences” is a very interesting work, and should ba universally read. LITERARY CHIT-CHAT. THE GERMAN LITBRARY PArens are taking ground against the claims of the British publishers, as put forth in the late renewed agitation for international, copyright.
