Beauty. BY nOTATIO L. T R Y 0 N .

Beauty is n o t a mys te ry , b u t is c o m p a r a -tively indefinable. I t is no t confined to time, place, color or form, b u t is ever present , pe rvad-ing all things. W e see it in all c r e a t i o n ; in the shadow as well as in the subs t ance . The e a r t h and its su r round ings is a vas t field of beau ty .

"NICHOLAS COPERNICUS, o f T h o r n . "

Soon the d a w n of day caused the l amp of the a s t ronomer to burn more d i m l y ; he leaned his forehead upon the table, and , over-come wi th fat igue, sank into a peacefu l slum-ber. But bis p resen t repose, a t all events , was not des t ined to be of long dura t ion : il was ab r idged t>y the en t rance of an aged ser-vaut , who, wi th slow and heavy steps, ascended the tower s ta i r s .

" Mas te r , " said he to the canon, as he gen t ly touched him on the shoulder , " the messenge r who a r r ived yes t e rday from Rhet icus is ready to se t out on his re turn , and is wa i t ing for your proof-sheets and le t te rs . "

'. ' o a s t r o n o m e r rose, m a d e "p the packe t , w i i c h he duly sealed, ' and then sunk back upon his chair , as if wear ied by the effort.

But t h a t is not a l l , " cont inued tho servant ; " there are ten poor, sick people in the h o m e wai t ing for you ; Un4 besides, you a re wanted a t F r a u e n b e r g to look a f t e r the water ma-chine, which has s topped w o r k i n g ; and also to see the three workmen who broke their legs in t ry ing to se t it go ing a g a i n . "

" P o o r c r e a t u r e s ! " exc la imed Cope rn i cus . " L e t m y horse be saddled d i r ec t ly . " And wi th a resolute effort s h a k i n g off the s leep which weighed down bis eyelids, the good m a n has t i ly descended the s t a i r s of tho tower .

Tho house of Copern icus was in o u t w a r d a p p e a r a n c e one of the mos t u n p r e t e n d i n g in W e r n i c a : it was composed of a l abora to ry , in which be p r epa red medic ine for tbe poor; a l i t t le s tud io , in which this m a n of genius , ski l led in a r t ns well as sc ience , p a i n t e d bis o w n l ikeness or those of his f r iends , o r t r a c e d his recol lec t ions of Rome or Bo logna ; and las t ly , of a smal l pa r lo r on the g r o u n d floor, which was open for ail w h o came to b im for remedies , for money, or for food. Over the door an ova l a p e r t u r e had been cu t , t h rough which a r ay of the m i d - d a y sun dai ly pene-t ra ted , and r e s t i ng upon a ce r ta in poin t in the a d j o i n i n g room, m a r k e d tbe h o u r of noon. T h i s was the a s t r o n o m i c a l g n o m o n of Coper -nicus : and the only o r n a m e n t the room con-ta ined were seven verses wr i t t en by his own hand , and pas ted over the ch imney-p iece .

I t was in th i s pa r lo r t h a t t b e good canon found room to tend to inval ids w h o c a m e to c la im bis a s s i s t a n c e ; d ressed the w o u n d s of some, a d m i n i s t e r e d remedies to o the r s , and on all be s towed a lms and words of k indness and conso la t ion . H a v i n g comple ted his l abors , he has t i ly s w a l l o w e d a d r a u g h t of mi lk , a n d was a b o u t to se t ou t for F r a u e n b e r g , when a ho r seman , ga l lop ing u p to the door , h a n d e d him a le t te r . He t r embled a3 he recognized the h a n d w r i t i n g of his F r i e n d Gys ius , Bishop of Cu lm. " May God have pity on u s , " wro te th is l a t t e r , " a n d a v e r t the b low which now th r ea t ens t h e e !

Come a n d lay the s to rm ; bu t come qu ick ly or thou wil t be too l a t e . "

Before C o p e r n i c u s had finished the pe rusa l of t h i s le t ter , he fell b a c k voiceless a n d pow-er less in to the a r m s of bis f a i th fu l se rvan t , a n d i t was some m i n u t e s before he ral l ied. W h e n he a g a i n looked up, the h o r s e m a n who h a d been c h a r g e d to e sco r t b im back , a sked him how soon be would wish to se t out .

" I m u s t s e t out d i rec t ly , " replied tbe old m a n in a r e s igned tone ; " b u t no t for Nurem-be rg or for Culm ; the su f fe r ing workmen a t F r a u e n b e r g a r e e x p e c t i n g me ; they m a y per-h a p s die if I do no t go to their a s s i s t ance . My enemies m a y p e r h a p s des t roy my w o r k — t b e y c a n n o t s t o p the s t a r s in the i r c o u r s e s . "

An h o u r la ter , C o p e r n i c u s was nt F r a u e n -be rg . T h e m a c h i n e which he had bes towed upon the t own , which w a s bu i l t on tbe summit of a hill, conveyed th i t he r the w a t e r s of the r iver Bouda , s i t ua t ed a t the d i s t ance of half a l eague in tbe val ley be low. T h e i n h a b i t a n t s , i n s t ead of su f fe r ing l ike the i r f a t h e r s f rom con t inued d r o u g h t , had n o w only to t u r n a valve, and tbe p len teous s t r e a m flowed in to the i r houses in r ich a b u n d a n c e .

T h i s m a c h i n e had got ou t of o rde r tbe preced-ing day , and the a c c i d e n t had happened very inoppor tune ly , b e c a u s e th is was the fes t iva l of the pa t ron s a i n t of F r a u e n b e r g . But a t the first g l ance t b e canon s a w w h e r e the evil lay, a n d in a few h o u r s the w a t e r flowed freely in to the t o f rn . His first care , we need no t say, h a d been d i rec ted to the u n h a p p y men who h a d received in ju r i e s whi le w o r k i n g in the s l u i c e s : he se t the i r f r a c t u r e d l imbs, and bound tbem u p wi th his o w n h a n d s ; then c o m m e n d i n g t h e m to the c a r e of an a t t e n d -an t , he promised to r e tu rn a n d visi t them on the m o r r o w . B u t a b l o w was a b o u t to de-scend upon himself , wbich was des t ined to c rush h im to the dus t .

A s be c rossed the square , whi le pas s ing t h r o u g h tbe t o w n on his r e tu rn home, he per-ceived a m o n g the c rowd a c o m p a n y of s t ro l l -ing p layers , a c t i ng upon a t empora ry s tage . T h e t h e a t e r r ep resen ted an a s t ronomica l o b s e r v a t o r y , filled with all k inds of r id icu lous i n s t r u m e n t s ; in the m i d s t s tood an old man , whose d ress a n d bea r ing were in e x a c t i m i -ta t ion of those of Copern icus . T h e resem-b lance was so s t r i k ing , t h a t he d i rec t ly rec-ognized himself , and paused, s tupefied with a s t o n i s h m e u t . Behind the m e r r y - a n d r e w , whose bus iness it was to hold u p the g r e a t m a n to pub l i c der is ion , the re s tood a person-a g e whose horns and cloven foot des igna ted S a t a n , a n d who caused the p seudo-Cope rn i cus to a c t a u d speak , as t h o u g h he had been an a u t o m a t o n , by m e a n s of two s t r ings fas tened to bis ea r s , which were no o t h e r t han a s ses ' ea r s , of cons iderab le d imens ions . T h e parody was composed of severa l scenes. In the first, the a s t r o n o m e r gave himself to S a t a n , b u r n t a copy o f t b e Bible, a n d t rampled a crucif ix under f o o t ; in the second, he explained, by j u g g l i n g wi th apples in gu i se of planets , whi le his f ace was t r ans fo rmed in to a l ikeness of the sun by means of to rches of r o s i n ; in tbe th i rd , he became a cha r l a t an , vender of po-m a t u m a n d q u a c k med ic ine ; b e s p o k e dog-Lat in to the passe rs -by , sold them wate r , w h i c h he h a d d r awn from his own well, a t an e x o r b i t a n t price, and became in tox ica ted him-self wi th excel lent wine, in such copious d r a u g h t s of which he indulged, t h a t he finally d i sappeared under the t a b l e ; in the four th and closing ac t , he was aga in d ragged for th to view, as one accursed by God and m a n , and the devil, d r a g g i n g him down to the in-fe rna l reg ions amid a cloud of su lphurous smoke , dec la red his in ten t ion to punish him for h a v i n g caused the ea r th to turn on its axis, by condemning him to r emain wi th his head d o w n w a r d th roughou t e te rn i ty .

W h e n Copern icus thus beheld the t reasured discover ies of his whole life held up to the der is ion of an i g n o r a n t mul t i tude , his en l ight -ened fai th b r anded as impiety , and his self-denying benevolence ridiculed as the q u a c k e r y of a cha r l a t an , b i s noble sp i r i t was a t first u t f t r l y overwhelmed, and the most fearful doub ts of himself , of mank ind , a n d even of P rov idence itself, rushed upon his mind . At first be hoped tha t the F raucnberg ians , the chi ldren <>t' his adopt ion, to who*" comfor t and happ iness he had devoted himself for fifty years , would cu t sho r t tint d i sgracefu l s cene . But a l a s ! be s a w his de famer s welcomed with app lause by those on whom he had con-ferred so many benefi ts . T h e t r ia l was too much for his fai l ing s t r eng th ; and worn ou t by the emotion and fa t igue of the p reced ing night., a n d by tbe labors of the morning, he sank exhaus ted to the g round . Then, for tho

first t ime, did the ung ra t e fu l mul t i tude recog-nize the i r b e n e f a c t o r ; the n a m e of Copern icus flew f rom lip to l ip ; they h e a r d t ha t he h a d come tha t very m o r n i n g to the town to re-lieve their d is t ress . In a m o m e n t tbe c u r r e n t of popu la r feel ing was turned , the c rowd dis-persed the ac tors , and c rowded anx ious ly a round the a s t ronomer . He bad only s t r e n g t h lef t to call for a l i t ter , and was conveyed b a c k to W e r n i c a in a dy ing s ta te . He l ingered, however , still for five d a y s — d a y s of t r ia l a n d a n x i e t y — d u r i n g which t h e l a m p o f gen iu s a n d fa i th still shed its halo a round the dy ing man .

On the day succeed ing his visi t to F r a u e n -berg , a le t ter from Rhe t icus conf i rmed the s in i s te r pred ic t ions of the Bishop of C u l m ; th r i ce had the s tuden t s o f t b e univers i ty m a d e a n a t t e m p t to invade the pr int ing-off ice whence the t r u th was abou t to issue forth. " E v e n th is very m o r n i n g , " wro te his f r iend, " a se t of m a d m e n tr ied to set fire to it. I bave assembled all of our f r iends wi thin the bui ld-ing, and we never qu i t onr posts , e i ther day or n ight , g u a r d i n g the en t r ance , and keeping wa tch over tbe w o r k m e n ; the p r in te r s per-form their work with one h a n d , . w h i l e tbey bold a pistol in the o the r . If we can s t a n d our g u a r d (or two days , tbe book is s a v e d ; for let only ten copies be s t ruck off, and no-t h i n g will any longer be able to des t roy i t . But if e i ther to -day or t o -mor row our enemies should succeed in ga in ing the upper h a n d " — R h e t i c u s lef t the sen tence unfinished, bu t Copern icus s u p p l i e d t h e w a n t ; he knew how much depended upon th is moment . On the th i rd day a n o t h e r messenge r m a d e his appea r -ance , and he, too, was the bea re r of evil t id-i n g s : " A compos i to r , g a i n e d ove#r by our enemies , h a s del ivered into the i r h a n d s the m a n u s c r i p t of the book , and it h a s been bu rned in the publ ic squa re .

Such was the s t a t e of suspense in w h i c h the g r e a t Copern icus passed the c los ing days of his ex is tence ! Life was ebb ing fast , and the to rpor of dea th had a l ready begun to s tea l over his facul t ies , when a h o r s e m a n gal loped up to the door in in b rea th le s s baste , a n d sp r ing ing from his horse, ha s t ened into the house of t h e dy ing a s t r o n o m e r . A volume whose leaves were st i l l damp, was t reasured in his b o s o m ; it was the chef d'eeuvre of C o p e r n i c u s : this messenger was the po r t en t of v ic tory .

T h e s p a r k of Hie. so near ly e x h a u s t e d , seemed to be rekindled for. a m o m e n t in the b r e a s t of the dy ing m a n ; he ra ised himself in his dy ing b e d , g r a sped the book with his fee-ble hand , g l a n c i n g a t its con ten t s wi lh his d im exp i r ing eve. A smile l ighted up his fea tures , the book fell f rom his grasp , and c l a sp ing his h a n d s toge the r , h e e x c l a i m e d : " Lo rd , let t hy s e r v a n t d e p a r t in p e a c e ! " H a r d l y h a d he u t te red these words , before his spiri t fled frora ea r th to the God who gave it. I t was the m o r n i n g of the 231 ol May—heaven was l ight -ed wi th the s t a r s — t b e ea r th was f r a g r a n t with flowers—all na tu r e seemed to sympa th i ze wi th the g r e a t revealer of he r laws, and soon the sun, r i s ing above the horizon, shed its e a r -l iest and pu res t ray upon tbe still , cold b r o w of the depa r t ed , and seemed in his t u rn to say: " T h e k i n g of c rea t ion g ives the kiss of peace , for thou h a s t been the first to rep lace h im on his t h rone . "

Pe r secu t i on followed Copern icus even in tbe g rave . T h e cour t of Rome repl ied to bis ded ica t ion hy c o n d e m n i n g his b o o k ; bu t the book was tbe i n s t r u m e n t of his o w n revenge by en l igh ten ing the cour t of R o m e itself, which a t l as t recognized , a l t h o u g h too late, the fa i th a n d the gen iu s of the a s t r o n o m e r of Wern ica . P r u s s i a , with the i ng ra t i t ude of a conqueror , has conver ted the obse rva to ry of Copern icus in to a prison, a n d is n o w a l lowing his dwe l l ing -house to c r u m b l e iuto ru ins . But Po land , his na t ive land, h a s col lected some of her las t oboles, to r a i se a m o n u m e n t to his m e m o r y a t C r a c o w , and to e rec t a s t a t u e of him a t W a r s a w .

Aga in , if all these masses of gold were fused into one prodig ious ball hav ing the sun tor its center , it would r e a c h out in to space in all d i rec t ions 1,782 mil l ions of miles, a lmost reach ing the o rb i t ol Herschel or U r a n u s ; and if the in te res t were cont inued till the end oft ho present cen tury , it would ent i re ly (ill up the so la r sys tem, a n d even encroach 500 millions of miles on the domains of the void between the p l ane t Neptune , whose orbit , a t the dis-t ance of 2 850 mill ions of miles from the sun, encirc les o u r whole sys tem of worlds. The p resen t sys tem of figures is called the Arab ic me thod , bu t it should be more properly termed the Ind ian method , because it had its origin a m o n g the Hindoos ol India, f rom whom tho A r a b s learned it. and they in turn carried tbo a r t into Spa in , where they prac t iced it dur ing their long occupat ion of t ha t country. The publ icat ion of their as t ronomical tables, in the form of a lmanacs , was tho principal means of g radua l ly spreading it abroad among the sur-rounding na t ions ; but so slow was the pro-irre-o tha t it was not general ly es tabl ished until about the middle of the 16th century .

I am a poor and lonely man, And wander all alone ;

I would tha t once, if only once, Life's olden sunshine shone.

In my beloved parent ' s house A lufppy child was I—

Affliction is my bit ter lot Since they so lowly lie.

I see the blooming gardens gay, I see the golden grain—

Mine is the cold, unfruitful way, Of sorrow aud of pain.

Aud yet with silent grief I s t ray Where happy people swarm,

And wish to every one " G o o d day," So heartfel t aud so warm.

0 gracious God! thou leavest me Not ail bereft of love ;

Sweet consolation for the world Thou seudest from above.

Thy holy house in every vale Uplif ts i ts sparkl ing spire ;

The organ and thy sacred psalms Souud from each village choir.

The sun. and moon, and stars, they shine I So full of love on me—

Aud wheu the evening bells resound. Then talk I, Lord, with thee.

And wheu thou openest to the good Thy high hall, r ichly stored,

Then shall I come in festal d ress And sea t me a t thy board.

Let me not dream iu vain despair That Progress s tays her s teps for me ;

The puny leverage of a ha i r A planet 's impulse well may spare,

A drop of dew the tided sea.

The loss, if loss there be. is m i n e ; And yet not mine, if understood ;

F o r one shall g rasp and one resign, One dr ink Life's rue aud one its wine,

And God shall make the balance good.

0 power to do I 0 baffled will ! 0 prayer aud act ion, ye are one ;

Who may not serve may yet fulfill The harder task of s t and ing s t i l l ;

Aud good bu t wished, with God is done !

Brother Ambler, the minis ter , is not like Ambler , ouce the in-spirat ional speaker. His sermous mus t now be prepared to sui t his suppor te rs , and must be kept free of all tha t smacks of o u t a n d - o u t Spir i tual ism. Alas ! h o w are the migh ty fa l len! Brother Am-bler was original ly one of the twelve apostles selected by A. J Davis for the regenerat ion of this genera t ion . Like most ol" the other mem-bers of the apostolical twelve, he s tar ted out with large expecta-t ions of some match-less mission, and was doubtless disappointed in not witnessing tbe immedia te over throw of all old "p r inc ipa l i -ties and powers ," and the glorified exal ta t ion and t r i umph of the new-fledged heroes of m o d e m evangeliza-t ion. Not many m o n t h s elapsed be-fore Brothers Ambler. Harr is , and others of the pioneer twelve, be-g a n to find the world was no t so easily as-tonished and over-tu rned ; and now I do no t know tha t a single one of all the or iginal twelve is found active-ly and efficiently en-gaged in tbe field of Spir i tual progress .

Of tbe Banner would unders tand me to mean tha t A. J . Davis ori-ginal ly sa t himself up to be a second Mes-siah. and had literally selected and consecrat-ed " twelve apost les" in precisely tbe same manner tha t Jesus did. I alluded to Mr. Am-bler as oue of the nu-cleus early drawn a round Mr. Davis, and regarded by all out-siders as sor t of "apos-tles."' Whether there was a li teral " twelve," or not , I do no t pre-tend to say ; nor whe-ther Mr. Davis called them his " apostles,"' or not In prepar ing his " N a t u r e ' s Divine Revelat ions," it is cer ta in, however, tha t Mr. Davis selected his "scr ibe , ' ' Rev.

I t were a thousand- fo ld bel ter to tell tbe paren ts tbe hones t t ru th , t h a t tbe chi ld has inher i ted their d i sease and was sluin by tbe h a n d of ignorance.

W h a t , then, you ask , shal l we do to be saved? E d u c a t e the mothers , educa te your ch i ld ren—teach them first of all n a t u r a l laws. I wish t h a t it was aga ins t the law for any woman to g o to tbo a l t a r and take upon her-self thc*holy name of wife until she under-stood the laws t h a t govern her own being. I wish it was a g a i n s t the law for any woman to t a k e upon herself the sacred func t ions of ma-ternity unti l she knows how to t a k e ca re of her own dar l ing chi ldren. I do not b l ame tbe mothers because of this m i s f o r t u n e ; I do no t censure t h e m because their chi ldren d i e ; ig-

a r a k e . If I could g ive ber a n y t h i n g more , I would g i v e he r a good phys ica l , moral , a n d menta l educa t ion . W h e n she w a s old enough for a t r a d e , o r profess ion, I would consu l t her inc l ina t ion a u d c a p a c i t y .

Well , then, when the world ge t s well , it will have re l ig ion. I k n o w t h a t we bave about 200,000,000 of professed Chr i s t i an s in tbe wor ld .

I wish to ask pardon of Bro the r Dav i s for s p e a k i n g of Benne t t ' s Herald the same evening wi th the HERALD OP PROGRESS. B u t i t i s a f a c t , n e v -er the less , t h a t the New York Herald is t a lk ing loudly of be ing the gua rd i an of the mora l s o&| y o u r c i ty—about look ing a f t e r the pol icemen, a b o u t r e fo rming the profane , and I hope tbe smoker s and d r inke r s a lso.

But the re a re some o the r fac t s I wish were no t fac ts , b u t s ince they are, le t m e tell them to you. Dr. S a n g e r h a s told the publ ic that your houses of infamy, which bave been bui l t by c h u r c h - m e m b e r s and pa t ronized by men of d is t inc t ion , cos t $8,600,000.

ba r - rooms , shops , off ices ; in to the chu rches , into the k i t c h e n s — e v e r y w h e r e where there is a h u m a n soul. A n d we w a n t a religion, too, t h a t wi l l g o o u t a m o n g the b e a s t s of the field and the fowls of the a i r ; a rel igion t h a t will teach the b u u t e r a n d the ho r se -d r ive r some-th ing l ike h u m a n love a n d h u m a n s y m p a t h y .

Scatter the gems of the beautiful! Hy the wayside let them fall,

That the rose may spring up by the cottage gate,

And the vine by the garden wal l ; Cover the rough and rude of earth

With a vail of leaves and flowers, And mark with the opening bud aud cup,

Tho march of the summer hours.

" Scatter the geius of the beautiful In the holy shrine of home ;

Let the pure, aud the fair, and the graceful there

In the temples of the heart, But gather about its earth the gems

If so s l ight th ings could e levate and spir i t -ualize t ha t poor da rkened soul, bow much may we do by ^plant ing a vine and hang ing upon our walls a few simple p ic tures ? Eve ry th ing t h e eye looks upon is daguer reo typed upon the sou l ; every sccne and s igh t l ives forever . A nd a s we see beaut i fu l th ings a b o u t us , so we have beau t i fu l th ings in our souls . W h e t h e r there is sunshine, or b leak sky, and s torms and tempes ts wi thout , wi th in is love-shine and a world of beau ty .

W e want , bes ide homes, hea l th , and rel i-g ion, s t rong men and s t rong, ea rnes t -hea r ted women - t h o s e who have s t rong hear t s , and clear heads , and s t rong hands . W e w a n t men s t r o n g enough to speak words of t r u t h ; men s t rong and g r e a t enough to u n m a s k cowled demagogue i sm and call a whi ted sepu lche r by i t s name—men who have the mora l cou rage to go out before the world and speak the t ru th for t r u t h ' s own sake . In t imes like these , when the na t ion is s t r u g g l i n g wi th life and dea th ; when our s t a tu te l aws a re all blis-tered wi th tears and b l o o d ; when the green graves of your loved oneo are s ca t t e r ed all over the l a n d ; the h u m a n h e a r t sends up to the g rea t God a prayer for men s t rong and earnes t -hear ted , who will go forth and fight the bat t les of the count ry because they love the nvtion and h a t e oppress ion. W e have too many cowards—abou t a s m a n y cowards as we have t ra i tors . Now and then you find a man who has the mora l courage to come out and say to the nation, " Your doom is sealed unless you write upon your banne r uncondi -t ional , and universal , aud immed ia t e emanci -p a t i o n . " You have a few who a re s t rong enough and b rave enough to say to the na-t ion : " Thy doom is sealed ; God ha th coun ted thy days , and finished thy k ingdom, un less thou s t r ikes t a t the root of the tree of' S lavery .

" For a moment I was a b o u t glorify ing Horace Greeley, and I said to my soul be ough t to be as im-mor ta l as the sun . But , then, I remembered t ha t he did not speak unti l , a s he himself de-clared, twenty mil l ions of people demanded u t t e rance th rough bis pen . l i e c la imed no vir tue for h is speaking. The people made the demand, and he d a r e d not be s i len t . Al-though thank ing God for the words he spoke, he did not speak so much f rom cou rage a s f rom cowardice .

LLEWELLYN P A R l T Is a tract of 500 acres of land, beautifully situated on the eastern slope of Eagle Ridge. (Orange Mountain,) with a surface finely diversified, embracing deep ravines, bold rocky cliffs, brooks of the purest spring water, picturesque old oaks, beeches, and tulips, and d noble forest of the various native evergreen and deciduous trees.

It is laid out aud embellished with drives, walks, &c., In the modern natural style of landscape garden-ing, and fifty acres, known as the '•RAMBLE," have been deeded In trust for the exclusive use and enjoy-ment of the purchasers of land lying within the Park. The rest of this tract of land, containing about

5 0 0 A C R E S , has been divided into villa sites of from

ONE TO TEN ACRES EACH. It was selected with special reference to the wan

of citizens doing business in the city of New Yor and yet wishing accessible, retired, and healthfu homes in the country ; but may be considered equally attractive to all citizens of the United States who contemplate locating in this neighborhood. Sloping to the south-east, the best exposure for heatth, culti-vation, and protection from the winds of winter, it is

of the "Superior Condition," a state in which every f a v o r a b , J ' situated to catch the sea-breezes which organ and function of the human system is transpa ' l ) r e v H i l i n

The Apocryphal New Testament. (NEW EDITION.)

Being all the Gospels, Epistles, and other pieces now extant, attributed in the first four centuries to Jesus Christ, his Apostles, aiid their companions, and not included in the New Testament by its compilers. Translated, and now first collected into one volume, with Preface and Tables, and various Notes and References. 12mo, 282 prges. Price 75 cents. Post-age 20 cts.

EXTRACT FROM TIIE PREFACE. " The Council of Nice is one of the most famous and

Interesting events presented to us in ecclesiastical history ; and yet no authentic acts of its famous sen • tence have been committed to writing ; or, at least, none have been transmitted to our time. Although it is uncertain whether the books of the New Testament were declared canonical by the Nicene Council or by some other, it is certain they were considered genu-ine and authentic by the most early Christian writers; and that they were selected from various other (ios-pels and Epistles, the titles of which are mentioned in the works of the early historians of the Church. The books that exist, of those not included in the canon, are carefully brought together in the present volume. They naturally assume the title of the APOCRYPHAL NEW TESTAMENT. The lover of old literature will here fin I the obscure, but unquestionab e origin of several remarkable relations in the Golden Legend, the Lives of the Saints, and similar productions concerning the birth of the Virgin, her marriage with Joseph ou the budding of his rod, the nativity of Jesus, the miracles of his infancy, his laboring with Joseph at the car-penter's trade, the actions of hia followers, and his descent into hell. Several of the Papal pageants for the popular and the Monkish mysteries, performed as dramas, are almost verbatim representations of these stories. The legends of the Koran and the Hindoo mythology are considerably connected with this vol-ume. Many of the acts and miracles ascribed to the Indian God, Creshna, during his incarnation, are precisely the same as those ascribed to Christ in his Infancy by the Apocryphal Gospels."

The whole tract abounds in pure soft spring water. It is believed that no spot within twenty miles of

New York is in all respects so healthy as the side of this mountain. It is almost the only locality so near the city where there is no fever and ague.

Purchasers of sites, desiring to build of stone, can obtain the material on the premises, free of charge.

The privacy of the Park, and of all the sites, is secured by lodges and gatekeepers at the entrances. The main entrance is on the valley road, one mile from North Orange Railroad Station. As we ascend along the Park Avenues—seven miles of which are completed—Newark and New York and their Bays, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and tlie Narrows, are all taken in at a glance. Upon reaching the top of the mountain—seven hundred feet above the level of the sea—a landscape, more than 100 miles in extent, spans the horizon. Cultivated fields and country-seats, villages, towns, and cities, ponds, rivers, and bays, with the Nevasink hills at the South ; Nyack Mountain, Ilaverstraw Peak, and the Highlands toward the North ; with Long Island and the Ocean in the East—all lie revealed to the eye. This natu-ral panorama is acknowledged by all to be one of the finest in America.

LLEWELLYN PARK is less than one hour from New York City, via Morris and Essex Railroad, ten trains per day each way, and via New Jersey Railroad and Orange and Newark horse railroad, twenty trips each way daily.

For ease of access, beauly and variety of scenery, for healthfulness of climate, for the intelligence and moral order of its population, in short, for all those considerations which combine to render a region attractive as a family residence, it is believed that the vicinity of Orange, especially the mountain-side, possesses advantages not surpassed, if equaled, by any other place in the vicinity of New York.
