pleasant to read, most of it. is too highly 
spiced, too jerky and Frcnchy. A few pages 
of such fv riling tire the reader, and he looks 
for somet hing which contains more wheat 
and less eliaff. Mr. Talmage “ lifts up his 
voice," after a fashion, against Clothes, Mid¬ 
night, Dancing,lTub-Houses, Intemperance, 
etc. His manner may attract a few thought¬ 
less people, but it, is neither genial, digni¬ 
fied nor pleasant. His use of exclamation 
and interrogation points is profuse. The 
following extract is one of the best passages 
in the book, and yet it is simply an asser¬ 
tion, devoid of sense and reason. “ Plants
