J. . Literary Notices. We have received a circular from the President of Laeell Seminary, Mass., announcing a course of object lessons in cookery, by Miss Parloa, of Boston. Not only are there lectures, but the dishes are really prepared by the teacher and class. It would be a good thing if this innovation should" spread to boarding schools everywhere. F rank L eslie ’ s P opular M onth ly . —The February number of this fa vorite publication opens with' a very interesting article by Lieutenant J. W. Miller, U. S. N., entitled,"Nicara gua, and the Proposed Inter-oceanic Canal,” which will attract no little at tention. '* The Ute Massacre,” is,an other notable article and gives painful details of this terrible affair. There are seventeen illustrations. “ Behind the Curtain of the Grand Opera,” by George Augustus Sala; “The Austrian in the Ice,” by G. A. Hudson, and '• A Thunder Storjn,” by Wm. Durham, F. R. S. E., are prominent features of this number. In the department of fiction are several admirable stories by Mrs. M. A. Denison, Etta W. Pierce, and other celebrated writers. The new serial “Not Guilty,” is one of the best stories of the day. The poems are of unusual merit; most of them are handsomely illustrated.

A.; “ The Hermit’s Plot,” a tale of the Sioux frontier; ■* Mimicry as a Defense among the Lower animals,” ete.

L ibrary of U niversal K nowl edge . —Volume IV. of this great work, published by the American Book Ex change, New York,-is ready January 15th, and volume V. will be issued about ten days later. They have been -delayed somewhat by the printing of the large editions of the previous three volumes and the other publica tions of the house, their facilities for manufacture having been taxed far beyond their capacity. Removing -January 1st to the Tribune Building and to the large building No. 26 Beekman and No. 18 Spruce street, where their facilities will enable them to manufacture from 6000 to 8000 volumes a day, the publishers expect to complete the entire work within the year, as announced. The volumes thus far issued being only the reprint •of the last edition of the well-known 'Chambers’s Encyclopaedia, nothing .more need be said of them than that they are well printed and bound; their form is vastly more convenient than the usual unwieldly quarto or octavo and their price is cheap beyond all precedent in book-making, so that to the unintiated it is a mystery how so rnueh can be given for a little money, but to the practical printer and book maker, who knows how the greatest dements in modifying the cat of books is the number of buyers among whom the investment cost is to be distributed, the wonder would be not that the books can be made for the price but that the number of the buy-, ors should be counted except by mill ions. Those who tike pleasure in the dissemination of useful knowledge «nd choice literature will be glad to «id with their influence and enterprise so altogether worthy. The publishers will send any quantity of descriptive catalogues, to those who may apply, for distribution among acquaintances.

Untold barm comes to the Church by the use of even questionable meas ures to raise money for the support of God's work. It creates the impress ion, in the minds of the worldly, that the Church is a kind of parasite, de pendent for its existence on the com munity, that it is a sort of genteel beg gar, which it is proper and fashionable to support, that it is an object of char ity, or oven pity and contempt, which io grateful for the tolerance of the people that let it live.
