The French Revolution of 1789, as viewed in the 
Light of Republican Institutions. By John S. C. 
Arbott. With One Hundred Engravings. [8vo. pp. 
489.] New York: Harper & Bros. 
Tnis is a beautiful book, elegantly and profusely 
illustrated. As the title shows, it gives the history of 
the French Revolution, which commenced 1789, until 
the establishment of the consulate under Napoleon, in 
1799. The history of no nation, for the same length of 
time, is more fearfully interesting and instructive than 
that of the French, during what has been fitly denomi¬ 
nated “ the reign of terror ,” for it is a history of hor¬ 
ror, causing the blood almost to chill in the veins at its 
simple recital. The nation publicly declared there was 
no God— that Reason was the French Deity—and it 
seems as if the Almighty, to punish them for their folly 
and impious presumption, left them to themselves to 
try their boasted reason; and like demons they thirsted 
for each other’s blood, until the soil of France was 
soaked with human goro—until a million of men and 
twenty thousand women, and more than that number 
of prattling children, had fallen victims to the blind 
fury of the French peoplo and their blood-thirsty 
leaders. Virtue, honor, intelligence, innocence, and 
childhood, afforded no protection-in fact, the highest 
honor, and the greatest virtues were considered crimes 
worthy of death. The guillotine became a plaything— 
the beheading of men a pastime, and of beautiful 
women and innocent children, a glorious fete, calling 
forth the air-rending shouts of the multitude. The 
author and the artist have portrayed these scenes in a 
truthful manner, though the former is disposed to apol¬ 
ogize for these atrocities, on account of the oppression 
which the people endured previous to the revolution, 
lie quotes many things said by French authors in palli¬ 
ation, who, of course, are anxious to save their country 
as much as possible frem this disgrace. But the under¬ 
standing of the reader will admit of no apology for such 
human butchery. Even Robespierre, the most cruel 
of all the Jacobin leaders, who ruthlessly murdered his 
nearest friends, it is attempted to whitewash into a 
pretty decent kind of a man, though of a very mysteri¬ 
ous and inexplicable disposition. We would settle that 
matter by writing him down a fiend. There is a good 
deal of special pleading in behalf the revolutionists.

Tent and Harem: Notes of an Oriental Trip. By 
Caroline Paine. [12mo. pp. 800.] New York: D. 
Appleton & Co. 
Tiif. reader of the volume bearing the above title, if 
desirous of accompanying the author, must go back to 
1860 and make one of the company on board the Amer¬ 
ican steam frigate Mississippi as that noble vessel enters 
Constantinople, the harbor of the Bosphorus. Here a 
few weeks arc well spent in visiting the various objects 
of interest in the city and its environs, observing the 
habits and customs of the people, and then once more 
upon the waters for Alexandria, passago being secured 
in an Austrian steamer. At this latter port, prelimina¬ 
ries are arranged for the voyage up the Nile—pretty 
villas and gardens, charming groves of date, palm, and 
other trees, soon give place to sterile deserts—stretch¬ 
ing as far as the eye can reach—and the peaks of the 
Pyramids. By-and-by boat-life is exchanged for the 
dwelling-place of the Arab, and all objects made nota¬ 
ble in cither sacred or profane history receive duo 
attention. The extent of the trip is indicated by the 
appellation of the book, and if the reader takes views 
from the same stand-point as the author, the parties 
cannot fail being mutually agreeable. Rochester—

“To shorten some of the lonely hours of a tedious 
convalescence, and to gratify and amuse my children,” 
remarks the writer, “ I prepared this sketch of the life 
of a dear friend.” A clergyman’s wife chanced to 
peruse the manuscript, and felt that, if published, it 
might lead laymen to perceive how easily, by kindness, 
considerateness and prompt payment, they could 
strengthen their Pastor’s hands, or, on the contrary, 
paralyze all his efforts and energy, by nogligence, 
thoughtlessness and selfishness, hence, it was given to 
the press. The narrative, we are informed, is literally 
true, the only resort to fiction being in giving that which 
a people should do, instead of what they did or did 
not do. If the laity can thoughtfully peruse this vol¬ 
ume, and still remain lax in the specialties to which it 
is devoted, wo have striking modern examples of the 
folly of “ casting pearls before swine.” Rochester—

A Slight Misconception. 
“There’s where the boys fit for College,” said 
the Professor to Mrs. Partington, pointing to the 
High-School House. “Did they?” said the old 
lady, with animation; “and, if they fit for College 
before they went there, didn’t they fight after¬ 
wards?” “Yes,” said he, smiling, and favoring 
the conceit; “yes, but the fight was with the 
head, and not with the hands.” “Butted, did 
they?” said the old lady, persistently. “ I mean,” 
continued he, “that they wrestled with their 
studies, and went out of College to be our minis¬ 
ters and doctors.” “Ah!” said she, “I never 
knew that people had to rastle to be ministers and 
doctors before.” They moved on, Mrs. Partington 
pondering the new idea, and Ike and Lion striv¬ 
ing for the possession of the old lady’s umbrella.—

Congressional Candidates. 
Candidates for Congress, — self-trumpeters. 
In addressing the electors it is amusing to observe 
how invariably, and how very impartially, each 
candidate, when describing the sort of representa¬ 
tive whom the worthy and enlightened constituents 
ought to choose, draws a portrait of himself, bla¬ 
zoning the little nothings that he had achieved, 
and, sometimes, like the Pharisee, introducing a 
fling at his opponent by thanking heaven that he 
is not like yonder Publican. For the benefit of 
such portrait painters, I will record an apposite 
anecdote of Mirabeau, premising that his face was 
deeply indented with the small-pox. Anxious to 
be put in nomination for the National Assembly, 
he made a long speech to the voters, minutely 
pointing out the precise requisites that a proper 
and efficient member ought to possess, and, of 
course, drawing as accurate a likeness as possible 
of himself. He was answered by Talleyrand, who 
contented himself with the following short speech: 
“It appears to me, gentlemen, that M. de Mira¬ 
beau has omitted to state the most important of all 
the legislative qualifications, and I will supply his 
deficiency by impressing upon your attention, that 
a perfectly unobjectionable member of the Assem¬ 
bly ought, above all things, to be very much 
marked with the small-pox.” Talleyrand got the 
laugh, which in France always carried the election.

Adversity a Blessing. 
Adversity is very often a blessing in disguise, 
which by detaching us from earth and drawing us 
towards heaven, gives us, in the assurance of last- 
ing joys, an abundant recompense for the loss of 
transient ones. “ Whom the Lord loveth he chas- 
teneth.” Many a man in losing his fortune has 
found himself, and been ruined into salvation ; for 
though God demands the whole heart, which we 
could not give him when we shared it with the 
world, he will never reject the broken one, which 
we oiler him in our hour of sadness and reverse. 
Misfortunes are moral bitters, which frequently 
restore the healthy tone of the mind, after it has 
been cloyed and sickened by the sweets of pros¬ 
perity. The spoilt children of the world, like 
their juvenile namesakes, are generally a source of 
unhappiness to others, without being happy in 
themselves.— Ibid. 
Education in China. 
The boys commence their studies at six or 
seven years of age. In China there is no royal 
road to learning, but every boy, whatever his rank, 
takes the same class-book and submits to the same 
training. The school room is a low shed, or a 
back room in some temple, or some attic in some 
shop where each boy is supplied with a table and 
a stool, and the teacher has a more elevated seat 
and a larger table. In the corner of the room is a 
tablet or picture of Confucius, before which each 
pupil prostrates himself on entering the room, and 
then makes his obeisance to his teacher. He then 
brings his book to the teacher, who repeats over a 
sentence or more to the pupil, and he goes to his 
place repeating the same at the top of his voice till 
he can repeat it from memory, when he returns to 
his teacher, and laying his book on the teacher’s 
table, turns his back upon both book and teacher 
and repeats his lesson. This is called backing his 
lesson. Iu this way he goes through the volume 
till he can back the whole book; then another, 
then another, till he can back a list of the clas¬ 
sics. The boys in the school, to the number of ten 
to twenty, each go through the same process, com¬ 
ing up in turn to back their lesson, and he that 
has a defective recitation receives a blow on the 
head from the master’s ferule of bamboo, and 
returns to his seat to perfect his lesson. The 
school teachers are usually unsuccessful candidates 
for preferment and office, who, not having habits 
for business or a disposition to laboi", turn peda¬ 
gogues. They receive from each of the pupils a 
given sum proportioned to the means of the 
parents, and varying from three to ten or twelve 
dollars a year from each pupil, and perhaps in 
addition an occasional gift of fruits or food. 
The schools are opened at early dawn, and the 
boys study till nine or ten o’clock, when they go 
to breakfast, and after an hour or so return and 
study till four or five o’clock in the afternoon, and 
then retire for the day. In winter they some¬ 
times have a lesson in the evening. 
The first book is called the Trimetrical Classic, 
which all Chinese boys begin with, and which 
some of their commentators have called a passport 
into the regions of classical and historical litera¬ 
ture. We should as soon think of putting a copy 
of Young's Night Thoughts into the hands of a 
beginner with the expectation of seeing him mas¬ 
ter it. These young Celestials are not expected, 
however, to understand what they read, but simply 
to memorise, and occasionally write out some 
more simple character, and perhaps after two or 
three years’ reading and memorising, they begin 
to study the sentiments of the author. The sons 
of tradesmen aud mechanics seldom study long 
enough to master the classics, but gain a smatter¬ 
ing of books, and learn to read and write the lan¬ 
guage sufficient to keep accounts, and gain a little 
knowledge of mathematics, when their education 
is ended. Such boys, and they constitute no small 
portion of school boys in China, as they grow up, 
retain the sound of many characters, but are 
unable to explain the meaning of a page in any 
common book. Three or four years of schooling 
forms the sum of their education, and that is insuf¬ 
ficient to give any one a practical knowledge of 
their written language. — “ The China Mission," 
by William Dean, D. D. 
“The buildings cover about three acres of ground. 
Many of its rooms are copied from the classic 
models of Greece and Rome. The employees num¬ 
ber about one thousand. Several of the officers 
reside in the bank. The notes redeemed each day 
are checked, canceled and put away in boxes. 
After keeping them ten years they are burned. 
The accumulations of the last ten years, now in the 
vaults of the bank, amount to three thousand mil¬ 
lions of pounds ; and yet any one of these notes 
can be referred to in a minute, and the history of 
its issue and its return given. The bank does all 
its own printing, aud several presses are kept 
busy. Everything is done by machinery—the note 
is not touched by the pen before it goes out. I 
held in my hand, yesterday, one note for a million 
of sovereigns! 
In the bullion-room ingots of gold were piled up 
like cords of wood, and stiver bars in vast moun¬ 
tains. The machines for detecting light coin, and 
for cutting them, are exceedingly curious and yet 
simple. Every banker’s deposit is weighed, and 
all the light pieces cut nearly in two and returned 
next day. The system of the bank is as perfect 
and exact as clock-work. And yet in spite of all 
precaution, some small forgery is almost daily de¬ 
tected. But since the great forgery committed by 
Axtell, for £360,000, the bank has not lost any very 
heavy sums; although in 1822 capital punishment 
for the crime was abolished, when the ‘ old fogies’ 
predicted that everybody ‘hard up’ would turn 
forger. 
In the specie department of the bank there are 
bags and boxes of sovereigns and half-sovereigns 
enough to make a miser mad; there are mountains 
of mint drops, for which millions are sighing, and 
lying, and perpetrating all conceivable crimes! I 
was asked to lift a; big bag of sovereigns, and for 
once, I must confess, I felt a sovereign disgust for 
money.”— Col. Fuller. 
OUR COUNTRY-NOW AND THEN. 
Eighty-three years ago, when the fifty-two 
signers of the Declaration of Independence, “ ap¬ 
pealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the 
rectitude of their intentions,” declared “that 
these United Colonies are, and of right ought to 
be, free and independent States,” but few of the 
most sanguine of that day dreamed of the extent 
and greatness which their country would attain 
in the comparatively brief space of three-fourths 
of a century. Then there were thirteen sparsely 
populated colonies; now we have thirty-three 
powerful States, aud several large Territories on 
the threshold of membership. The following 
statistics, showing the means and degrees by 
which the great Empire of the West has been 
reared, will be read with thrilling interest by every 
American citizen: 
Under General Washington’s administration the 
following new States were admitted:—Vermont, 
in 1791; Kentucky, in 1792; Tennessee, in 1796. 
Under Thomas Jefferson’s administration, the 
following new State and Territory were added to 
the Union:—Ohio, in 1802; Louisiana, purchased 
in 1804. Each contained space enough for fifteen 
States. This purchase gave to the United States 
the entire control of the Mississippi, the south of 
which had hitherto been in the hands of a foreign 
power. Territorial governments were organized 
in Mississippi, Indiana and Louisiana. 
Under James Madison’s administration, the fol¬ 
lowing addition was made to the confederacy:— 
Indiana, in 1816. 
During the Presidency of James Monroe, the 
following new States were admitted into the Union: 
Mississippi, in 1817; Illinois, in 1819; Missouri, 
in 1820; Maine, in 1820; Florida, purchased in 
18&1. 
Under the Presidency of General Andrew Jack- 
son, the following States were admitted:—Michi¬ 
gan, in 1836 ; Arkansas, in 1838. 
During the Presidency of James K. Polk, the 
following new States were admitted:—Texas, in 
1845; Iowa, in 1845; Florida, 1845; Wisconsin, 
in 1845; California was bought; New Mexico and 
Utah bought. 
Under the administration of Taylor and Fill¬ 
more, the following State was admitted :—Califor¬ 
nia, in 1850. The following Territories were or¬ 
ganized :—New Mexico, Utah, and Washington. 
Under Gen. Pierce’s administration the follow¬ 
ing Territories were organized :—Nebraska and 
Kansas; Arizona purchased. 
Under Jautos Buchanan’s administration, the 
following States were admitted:—Minnesota, in 
1858; Oregon, in 1859 .—Scientific American. 
Sagacity of a Horse. —A very curious, though 
not uncommon, instance of sagacity in that ani¬ 
mal, came under observation lately, in the crowded 
neighborhood of Long Lane, Bermonsey. The 
London Review says:—“A cart horse in harness, 
whilst its by no means careful keeper was solacing 
himself in a low public house, started off at a 
pretty brisk trot down the lane. Happening to 
come to a group of children, one of whom, a baby 
not more than three years old, stumbled and fell, 
the animal deliberately stopped, placed the child 
out of the way with his teeth, and continued his 
course as if nothing had occurred. But his phi¬ 
lanthropic propensities did not stop here—for, 
meeting with a similar group, he repeated the 
action, after which, as if fearful of committing 
some mischief, he quietly suffered himself to be 
caught and led back.” 
To Correspondents. —In answer to inquiries on the 
subject we would state that all Enigmas, Problems, &c., 
should be accompanied by the real names of the authors 
and correct solutions in order to receive attention—that 
we charge just nothing for publication of any correct 
and proper contributions, but reject all matters of an 
advertising, or personally glorifying tendency. “A

AUTUMN. 
The rosy hours of Summer are past, the clouds 
look heavy, the rain begins to fall. Solemnly the 
rough and uneven wind passes through the bough3 
that overhang the old cottage, with its mournful 
sound. It brings back to recollection the absence 
of loved friends that we have greeted under the 
same roof, especially those loved ones that are 
sleeping beneath the faded flowers and the with¬ 
ered grass of Summer. They are gone like the 
Summer, never to return. 
Experience prompts us to begin to provide for 
winter, which seems impatient, of delay. The 
winter is a blessing—a time for the improvement 
of our minds—a time when we should view the 
past year’s labors, that we may know how to im¬ 
prove the next. In the hurrying time of Autumn 
just begun, let us pause and say farewell to the 
past beautiful Summer.

A SKETCH, 
In a beautiful vale was a girl so fair that the 
lilies blooming there could not compare with 
her in beauty—her song so sweet that even angels 
bring their harps and bend to listen to her music; 
and her heart was tender as her song. One day 
as she strayed amidst the beauty of her loved 
vale, there came to her an angel of pale counte¬ 
nance and stern look, and said to her, “ Maiden, 
leave thy fair home; come to the valley of Death; 
thither go I.” And she followed him, weeping. 
The valley was cold, and dark, and drear—no 
flower bloomed in beauty there—all were pale, 
faded ones. And the beautiful maiden wept. The 
pale angel pitied her, for she wept. So, he drew 
before her eyes a silver band, and she did not see 
tho mist nor the darkness. Still she did weep— 
for she was blind. The angel pitied her, and he 
drew his icy fingers over her heart-strings, bind¬ 
ing them fast; so fast that she could not feel 
sorrow. 
Then she lay so still —so pale—the angel pitied 
her, for she was dead,—and he knocked upon a 
gate, high and broad, and of pure pearl. Respon¬ 
sive to the angel’s call it opened wide. Then 
spake he to the fair maid, “ Maiden awake; lo! 
here’s thy home; a Temple more beautiful than 
Thessaly’s fair vale. The maiden awoke, caught 
up the song that angel’s sing, passed through the 
gate of pearl, aud ever more in a land of glorious 
beauty blessed the angel Death. Bessie Day. 
Hillsdale, Mich., Aug., 1859. 
Night has its song. Have you ever stood by the 
sea at night, and heard the pebbles sing and the 
waves chant God’s glories? Or have you ever 
risen from your couch and thrown up the window 
of your chamber and listened ? Listened to what ? 
Silence, save now aud then a murmuring sound, 
which seems sweet music then. Have you not 
fancied that you heard the harp of God playing in 
heaven? Did you not conceive that yon stars, 
that those eyes of God looking down on you, were 
also mouths of song; that every star was singing 
of its Almighty Maker, as it shone, and his lawful, 
well-deserved praise which are loud to the heart, 
though they be silent to the ear. 
Power of Integrity. —Reproaches have no pow¬ 
er to afflict the man of unblemished integrity, or 
the abandoned profligate. It is the middle com¬ 
pound character which is alone miserable; the 
man who without firmness enough to avoid a dis¬ 
honorable action, has feeling enough to be ashamed 
of it.— Selected.
