It adds no beauty to a lady, in my opinion, to adorn her with feathers. When I look at a woman I look at her face, which is composed of her fore head, cheek, nose, mouth and chin, and I like to see it clean, her hair combed neat and nice, and her eyes bright and sparkling: and if they are so, what do I care what she has on her head, or how or of what material her dress is made ? Not the least in the world. If a woman is clean in person and has on a nice clean dress, she looks a great deal better when washing her dishes, making her butter or cheese, or sweeping her house, than those who, as I told them in Provo, walked the streets with their spanker jib flying. It adds no beauty to a lady or gentle man to have a great many frills on their dresses or coats; beauty must besought in the expres sion of the countenance,, combined with neat ness and cleanliness and graceful manners. All the beauty which nature bestows is exhibited, let the dress be ever so plain, if the wearer of it be neat and comely. Do not fine feathers look well ? Yes. they are very pretty, but- they look just as well on these dolls, these fixed-up ma chines which they have in the stores, as any- say. while if they wish to smoke they must ac tually ask permission of the women or leave the room.” Observing which, the philosopher con cludes that it is time for learned men in Japan as well as in England to stir themselves lest the power of the other sex expand until it becomes so overwhelming that it will be uncontrollable. The error he thinks has been brought about by “the want of a correct view of the dictates of na ture;” and he closes with a solemn admonition that woman shall be taught her duty to the end the Maipharer is beautiful and touching to the last extent. The elements of interest and in struction are admirably combined in this book. It has attractions for all classes. Christian Ethics, or The True Moral Manhood and Life of Duty. A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges. By D. S. Gregory, I). D., Professor of Moral Science, Logic and Mathematics in the University of Wooster, Philadelphia. Eldridge & Bro., Publishers.

Fifty Years Ago.—We clip the following edi torial from an exchange, but cannot now tell which : Fifty years ago, this month, the first.train of vehicles was drawn by a locomotive over a road open to the public. This was at Darlington, England, and George Stephenson was the engi neer both of the road and of the locomotive. It was the beginning of railroading, and a semi centennial celebration is to be had at Darlington, on the 27th. The little line then opened has since been absorbed into the Northeastern rail way of England, an immense corporation, whose capital is 850,000,000, or equal to that of our whole Pacific railway, and even that is surpassed by three other British railways. The railways the Life of Duty. Under the second head it treats,—Of Individual Ethics; 2. Of Social Eth ics; 3. Of Theistic Ethics. These topics are of the highest interest and importance to men, and the great ability with which they are discussed in this book must command the earnest atten tion of all readers. While we cannot quite en dorse all the views of the learned author, still, we consider this work well adapted to college uses, and believe it would be a valuable acquisi tion to the library of any gentleman. where else, they certainly add nothing to the c f the world havg all been created within fifty beauty of a lady or gentleman, as tar as I ever saw.” years.

The accomplished writer of this beautiful book has visited the localities of the opening vision of the Apocalypse, and has here inter woven with his reminiscences of those sacred scenes his most earnest and devout reflections on Christ’s Epistles to the Seven Churches in Asia. He has thus added new charms and attractions to this most sublime and mysterious book in the Bible.

Southern Literature.—When the question is asked, “Has the South a literature?” there is given by way of answer a list of the books writ ten by Southern authors. And truly indeed the list is not discreditably short. On theology, on political science, on history, on purely literary topics, Southern men and women have written both largely and well. Many books we could name which have emanated from the brains of Southern authors which could not be stricken from our libraries without serious loss. Yet in the face of these facts, we would still assert that our literature is not yet distinctive—that it is not sufficiently Southern and idiosyncratic. We have some books which very ably set forth the Southern idea of political science, and have at least one history which portrays grandly our conceptions of the late “War Between the States.” But no one has y#t arisen to depict, with ability and faithfulness, with the correctness of the his torian and the brilliancy of the poet, the scenery and people of our section. We have had no Fielding or Dickens to paint the lower and rougher classes of our society; no Jane Austin to mingle in our drawing-rooms and portray the manners of our gentility; no Scott to make the lakes and rivers, plains and- mountains of our wide-spread domain classic by his pen. Our best writers have followed the great lights of fatherland, and have striven not only to write good English, but have endeavored to make everything about their books as English as pos sible. Mrs. Warfield, for instance, whose “House hold of Bouverie ” was pronounced by able crit ics to be the most powerful work of fiction ever published on this continent, is a resident, and, , we believe, a native of the South. But that-book has nothing Southern about it. Its scenery, its people and its incidents are all English. The same is true of Miss Evans, who justly deserves to be considered one of our very best novelists. But though she locates her stories in Georgia or Alabama, it is English scenery which she de scribes and English people who are her actors. The same remarks will apply in a greater or less degree to all of our romance writers, both male and female. They have turned away from the rich material which has lain so abundantly around them, and have followed English au thors as slavishly as Virgil and Homer. As for the greatest literary genius which the South ever produced, he may as well have been born in Lapland or New Zealand as in Virginia, so far as any influence exerted by his surroundings upon his writings is concerned. So we think that we may say in truth that here is a virgin field for the literary pioneer, and one as rich in beauty as were the hills of Cali fornia in gold. In painting our varied scenery of mountain, hill, plain and river, there is play for the most delicate rhetoric. One may produce characters as original and as imperishable as those shaped forth by Scott, Thackeray or Dick ens. Nor is our history at all deficient in stir ring incidents through which the heroes of ro mance may be led. But what we chiefly want are quiet stories of every-day life, which shall faithfully portray the manners and customs of an age now past. We believe this genius will appear—not to-day, perhaps; it may not for years yet When he does come, however, he will found a school which will give us a real Southern literature, and will make the Southron as he was more loved, respected and admired than he ever has been. I have remarked, like a connoisseur before a pic- health and physique until they are literally a race of invalids. They are a pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy set, with only here and there few noble exceptions in the persons of the ture, with half-closed eyes and head resting a robnst> buxom ladie^characteristic of the little on one side, as if to better appreciate its contour and style. Then she daintily re-ar ranges a bud or a leaf on the outside, putting the bud over the leaf or the leaf under the bud, as it may be. Then she shakes up, in a light, airy way, the plume, but immediately proceeds to smooth it down. Then she closely scruti nizes the quality of the velvet, the texture of the ribbon and the character of the lace. By this time she is prepared to perform the great act of trying it on. Getting before the mirror where she can ob tain a fair view of herself, the dear woman pro ceeds to smooth down her hair where it lies in days gone by. Fashion, folly and foolish ness have rather got the best of them, and it now remains for them to die old maids, or let no-ac- count husbands get the best of them.” It is sad, girls, but it is true. You had better take more “kitchen exercise ” and less parlor comfort; you had better wrestle with a wash-tub more and “paw ivory” less. Good housewives will be in demand after awhile, for all sensible men want wives who will prove to be helpmates, not “ help eats.” The poor-houses and lunatic asylums are crowded now. The Odd Trump: A Novel. New York: E. J. Hale!; Sou, Publishers, Murray Street. It lias been our pleasure on several occasions to write favorably of the publications of the house of Messrs. Hale & Son, and in the above issue we have one of the purest and best novels of the age. The scene of the story is laid in England, and the two principal characters, the one English and the other American, are well sustained throughout. But we confess it is the side personages which appear in the plot, which have interested ns most. The splendid passages at arms between an English Radical and an American freedman, in which the latter routs the former effectually, constitute a rich treat for the reader. We have here both argument and entertainment in abundance, and such as se cures intact the most virtuous feelings and sen timents of the heart. We accordingly com mend Oihl Trump to our Christian families, where sons and daughters may revel in the rare wealth of the invention of the author of this story.
