The same materials put into the hands of these two men, nsstfnicd two entirely different forms ^hen they had concluded their respective labo?s. Neander digested his materials, anVfbv a process of mental assimilation, (nade them all his own. He then gave them forth in a flowing narrative, in which his own temperament appears un every j j?Hga. In hi$ hands, history is a living exhibition of the past; whereas the object of Gieeeler is to construct a work which, by its wording, shall record the actions doctrincs of the bodies and individiU|^|*wUo'8e rtames are inscribed on his pages. ^'itR'9 few sirnpfe phrases of liis own, he fin^a them "together, and thus he makes 'UremAheiro'wn tale. Thus he gives the .'mftferiafe of history, honestly and full}', Jtheil ho-permits the reader to construct the ptlieory for ^ himself. Neander gives the theory and the facts, nnd he imbues them both with life ; a>:d all ia done, in both ca ses, by the band of a master. It ^'ere no difficult task to show ^bow a partizan or disingenuous writer might mislead, bis readeip, whether he followed the lead of Gfoseler or Neandcr. A dogmatic sophist tnay easily construct a plausible theory, and, iu the manner ofNeander, fill up fiis worlf by vivid pictures,of lifedike transaction. His error lies in his premises, and ,jn the forced Application of^his facts, to subtitftf assumption. 80 in the case of Gies $ler,;dt ? notorious thai" the words of theologians, the language of counoils and Church' assembles, may bo quoted and united together, wBile Uie lesson inculcated by the narrative may 'be altogether untrue.

Hence it is that we advise all posse? sors of Neatider to procure the work of(iies eler, and the possessors of the latter will fee the propriety of adorning their shelves b the addition of Neander. Separating the Sexes in School. On this point, Mr. Stowe, a celehratec Glasgow teacher, uses the following Ian guage: "The youth of both sexes of ou Scottish peasantry have been educated to gelhcr; am) as a whole the Scotch are tli most moral people on the earth. Educf lion in England is given separately, and w never have heard from practical men tha any benefit has arisen from the arrangemcnl Some, influential individuals there mourl over the prejudice on this point. In Dul lin, a larger number of girls turned on badly who had been educated alone uuti they attained the nge of tnalurily, than c those who were otherwise brought up; th separation of the sexes has thus been foum to Ik*, injurious. It is stated, on the bos authority, that of those girls educated i the schools of convents, apart from boys the greater majority go wrong within month after being let loose in society atn meeting the other sex.?They cannot, it i said, resist the slightest compliment or flat terv. The separation is intended to kee; them strictly moral; but this umiatmal st elusion actua'ly generates the vcrv princ.i pies desired to In; avoided. We may repea that it is impossible to raise the girls 11 high, intellectually, without the boys as wit them, and it is impossible to raise boy morally as high without girls. The girl morally elevate the boys, and the boys intel leotually elevate girls. But more tha this : girls themselves arc morally elevatei by the pressence of boys, and boys are it telleotlially elevated by the presence cj girls.

Most of our readers are aware 0 that an old fashion fastening one's legs on by straps to his pantaloons, passing under * his feet, is about to be revived.

Ax Earthly Paicadise.?The correspondent of Harper's Weekly, who is writing a series of letters headed "Travel Notes in Bible Lands," for that excellent paper, in speaking of the vulloy of Kadesha, in which is situated tlio once renowned city of Tripoli, tlie knell of whose greatness and glory, like that of ancient Rome, has long since been sounded, uses the following chaste and beautiful language in reference to that paradisaical spot of earth : 'Never may man hope to see a lovelier valley than that of Kade-ba, where Tripoli stands as its outlet on the sea. All that the world can furnish of the grand and beautiful unites here lo make the place a paradise. Lofty mountains, sublime summits, resting ou the bluesky, look down on the calm and peaceful valley where a stream wanders among dense groves and luxuriant gardens?now by a palace, and now by a ruined castle of a crusader?now by a mosque, and now by an old Deverisb college, while the air, laden with perfume, and always lit with a serene suDsbine, is an atmosphere of heaven. "Some day, when I am done with the world, I will come here and take one of these ruins on the bank of the Kadesha, and live out the rest of my time in glorious luxury?dreaming old dreams, recounting old stories, hearing old songs. T d.oii ii,,i I have not, to write you of the glory of Tripoli. IIow its walls, on a moony night, ring with the war-cries of brave men in brave days?how I t/ace the arms of Raymond of Toulouse here and thereon ruined cnstle and fortification, for Raymond oncfe possessed Tripoli as a fief?how the old legends tell grand histories of the knights of Tripoli." ? t ? Some Noise.?A neighbor of the London Illustrated News thinks the Hoe's Last Fast1' a nuisance. Tie has sued the proprietors, and his evidence says that the court which ! separated his premises from the defendants , was only four feet three iochcs wide, and in the month of March last the defendants set up an American printing machine, worked 1 by steam, which created the nuisance now 1 complained of. The printing began every , Thursday night, and was continued all Fri; day and Friday night, and sometimes on Saturday, and such was the noise from tho machinery that it was scarcely possible to hear onesejf speak in the'plantifTs parlor. The screaming, whistling and thumping of the boiler and fly-wheels rendered the plantilT's lie-use uninhabitable, and the noise was compared to that of an express train passing by, hilt never gelling away. .The result was that the plantifTs wife wbr not. able to live in the house, his customers forsook the parlor, and the port wine and beer in tho cellars were rendered thick by the vibration. The vibration was so groat that it would gradually cause the glasses to tumble oft' the shelves in the bar; or, if one were left on the cask in the cellar, it would after .a time tumble off and get broken. f . .
