World-Famed Books.

England has given to the world four beaks which are immortal. They have traveled through the world, have been read by nrllions, have been translated in many different languages, and still are marching down the years to enrich and bless the generations. Their story is of deepest interest, and around each cluster fragrant and pleasant memories. Bupyun the sturdy non-confpnnist,

sending from the walls of Bedford jail his unique book. Baxter, warmly loved and fiercely hated, also imprisoned for Iris religious views, giving us his “Saint’s Rest,” which has blessed a multitude of waiting souls. De Foe, who for his principles was now in the closet of the King," and then in the dreary dungeons of Newgate, whose “Robißson|Crusoe”has stolen the hours of sleep from millions ; and Issac Watte, whose hymns will be sung so long as church walls and cathedral towers stand. All have a bold upon the English-speaking race that can never be broken.—<S'. S. Bridgman.
