CHILDREN S 
the future.” What Jack did in later years, 
the writer intimates he may tell his readers 
in another volume. 
will return to its original form and character. 
The publishers have made a manly effort, and 
furnished a poriodicni of which they have no 
reason to feel ashamed. If they have sunk a 
good deal of monty, as is reported, they have 
been no more unfortunate than the projectors 
of several other pictorial ventures. We recall a 
half a dozen or more which have recent ly col¬ 
lapsed, or arc now leading a precarious exist¬ 
ence. The tendency for the past few years has 
unmistakably beeu toward pictorial journalism. 
Magazines, newspapers—religious and secular— 
and in fact, almost every claas of publications 
bavo conformed more or less to the popular de¬ 
mand. Even Tweed and his fellow conspirators 
were preparing to launch an illustrated enter¬ 
prise, when the Times turned the foil glare of 
its lantern upon i hem and revealed their dark 
schemes. " l do tint care,*' tho Hess jokingly re¬ 
marked about tltat time, “ bow much the papers 
attack me, because so few of my constituents 
can read; but everybody can seethe pictures of 
mo suspended at Ihe newsstands. NASt Imscar- 
ricatured me so much (but I sometimes think I 
look like Ills droll figures.” The dethroned Tam¬ 
many potentate regarded the power of tho illus- 
traled press as almost omnipotent. While lie 
hnd some grounds lot* so believing, and people 
still desire Illustrations combined with reading, 
it Is very hard to wean them away from their 
old favorites, like Harper’s Weekly and the Iitr- 
KAi, New-Voiiker. Competitors And it, at best, 
but a struggle for existence.

THE OUEEN OF THE LADIES’ MAGAZINES! 
NEW PUBLICATIONS. 
The Earth —a Descriptive History of the 
Phenomena of the Life of the Globe by 
Elisee Recltjs. (Harper & Brothers, New 
York : 1871.) This is a handsomely goLlen- 
up volume of five hundred and sixty-seven 
pages, presenting a vast amount of instruc¬ 
tive and entertaining knowledge—the result 
offiftcen years of study, research and travel. 
The author divides his work into four parts, 
viz.:—The Earth as a Planet; the Land; 
the Circulation of Water and Subterranean 
Forces. He makes no attempt at. line writ¬ 
ing, hut sets his facts before the reader in a 
plain, simple manner. While the book is of 
a scientific character, it is at tlie same time 
sufficiently popularized to suit the masses, 
and we can recall no similar work of equal 
importance and interest. The chapters on 
the “ Inequality of Laud and Water,” *' Sys¬ 
tem of Subterranean Streams,” “ Harmony 
of Shape in Oceans,” “Gradual Subsidence 
of Mountains during the Lapse of Ages,” 
“Formation of Islands,” “Formation of 
Lakes," “Periodicity of Earthquakes," 
“ Movements of Terrestrial Waves,” and 
“ Submarine Volcanos” are especially' enter¬ 
taining. The writer grows enthusiastic in his 
descriptions of ottr Western Prairies, and 
adds, (page 98:)—“ But in consequence of 
the very rapid colonization of the Western 
States these countries are every day chang¬ 
ing their aspect. The traveler, therefore, 
must not delay if he wishes to survey these 
immense prairies, where the horizon, as on 
the sea, is only limited hv the rotundity of 
the globe—where the grasses are so high 
that they reach up to and bend over the 
head of the traveler, and the roebuck can 
dart through them without even being per¬ 
ceived. Ere long these pvairics will have 
ceased to exist, save in the narrations of 
Cooper the novelist.” The volume is trans¬ 
lated by the lalo B, U. Woodward, M. A., 
edited by Henry Woodward of the British 
Museum, atld is UlusiliUed by two hundred 
and thirty maps, inserted in the text and 
twenty-three page maps printed in colors.

Seed Truths; or, Bible Views of Mind, 
Morals) and Religion. By Puaiicellus 
Csinitcu, D, I), (Sheldon & Company,New 
York.) While writing a Prize Essay on 
Christian Union, a low years since, Dr. 
Cnuncn became convinced that sectarian 
divisions and animosities mainly resulted 
from interpreting (Scripture by something 
out of Scripture, and that in order to remove 
these divisions nmi restore Christian union, 
avc must search for the true sense and spirit, 
of tho Bible, comparing spiritual things 
only with spiritual, interpreting the word 
by the word, the obscure by the plain, and 
the Old Testament by the New, and vice 
versa. lie accordingly began to rentl and 
study, with a view to this work, which is 
given to Hie public after live years of prepa¬ 
ration. He lms sketched the Bible man in 
his mental, moral and religious character, 
and then traced him out in the-states, tran¬ 
sitions and histories recorded of him in Scrip¬ 
ture, aiming to show at the same lime their 
agreement, with what we are, wlint our fore¬ 
fathers have been, and what our posterity 
is to be tit, the end of time. Tho book is 
written in a simple, unpretending style, and 
we trust will be read with interest and profit 
by many of our readers.
