Ho much bon boon written am] said about Mr. Moody; so known ia tho character of tho ruau and of bln work,—especially tn this city, tho scone for nearly twmy years of bis evangelistic labors,—that ft bookhearing tho lillo copied abnvo would scorn to 1-* a superfluous work. having no particular uhob save aa a catch* penny, and incapable of presenting matter of fresh and lively interest Yet never was a seem ing case more completely contradicted by tho actant facts. Those who know Mr. Moody best, as well as those who know liim least, will And this volume, relating tho wonderful story of his life, ouo of uncommon fascination. It is cleverly written by a spicy aud rigorous nar rator. and its material is of the most moving and exciting nature. Tho plain unclosed his tory of Mr. Moody makes of him a heto who-e erratic, unexpected, unstudied actions, bom of impulse and full of power, are invested with sin gular attraction. Ihe secret of the man’s ascendency lies In hid simple, unaffected, unre strained energy. lio Is intensely earnest, and earnestness is tho great force In human life. Nothing can aland In the way of it. Lika many another great man whoso Influence has boon foil iu the world, Mr. Moody was born and roared ia tbe hard school of poverty. Ilia mother was left a widow with seven little children dependent upon her for bread. A few weeks after tho father’s death, tho mother gave birth to twins, and two mouths more wore added to those that her woman's Muds must till. Tho hntnblo homo of tho fam ily—a cottage with an *cro or two of land about It—was heavily mortgaged; and tho friends of tho burdened widow advised her to give away her children, and, void of tboir weighty care, make shift for herself. Hut no; the blood that runs in tho veins of heroes cottised In her own ; and. by dint of slavish toil, thrllty management, and somo littU help woo by lior resolute independence, she contrived to keep her little flock together, and bring them up to man and womanhood, under tho influence of a mother's loving watchfulness. It is not strange that the sou of such a mother should have the spirit aud force of a Hercules. Dwight Lyman grew to youug-manhoud with a vigorous constitution' thews and sinews as of sieoi. a sturdy spirit, ready wit, and an indomita ble will. Ho had the advantage of twelve terms at tho village-school; but ho was not in any wav book-minded, and tho last term was half spent before bo roused up to tbo fact that learn ing was a useful thing. It was thou too late to roaoem the lost time, and Dwight part ed with bis school-privileges without having mastered well oven tho art of reading. Ah fo y religion, (be only rein-ion bo yet professed was his love for his mother, who was tho ouo person m tho world that could control his untamed spirit. That mother was a Unitarian by oroed ; but her sorrows and trials had drawn her very near the Father of her fatherless children, aud the gtnmucuOßß and sufficiency of her Christian fsvth need not be questioned, Bcou after Dwight had turned 17, ho struck out from the home of his boyhood, determined to make a place for himself in tbo world. His mother had brothers iu Doaton,—ono a prosper ous merchant in the bout-aud-shoe trade. Of him bo wan too proud vo ask a situation, feeling tbut it -diuuhl bo offered hint; but. after wan dering fruitlessly fur days siouucl tho streets of tbo strange city in search of work, his haughty spirit violdcd. aud ho sucu for a place mih his uncle, which was immcfliatclr given him. ilia ambition, energy, ana shrewd ness cpialiflcd h:m for quick success m tbo arts of tiado; audit was-not long before Dwight surpasHcd everv other salesman iu tho establish ment in tbo extent and profit of tbo business he accomplished- Uhls eminence hn afterwards maintained eo tone as ho continued iu trade. One of the conditions impound upon (lio lad, Tvliett ho oniereo bis uncles house, trail, tliat he hUuuld regularly attend service and Sunday school at tho Mt, Vernon Church. It was nut tuug before tho caruoat labors of minister ami teacher rusultod in ibo youth's conversion; and In# conversion, like everything ulso in his ex perience. was very hearty amt demonstrative. When ho applied for adrauslon into the Church, bo was found to he tu possession of abundance of sound faitband purpose, but lamentably want iug In doctrine, lie was ready and auxiona to he cornu a soldier of Christ, but as yet knew and thought nothing of tbo orthodox methods by winch a religious warfare was, iu accordance vntU established precedents, to be conducted, lie was put upon a sort of nrobalion for a time, and iu stay, 1605, received Into tbo Church. Hero bo speedily betrayed tho zeal and enorpy that characterized him, and straightway became con spicuously and uncomfortable active. His great loudness for speaking and i ra» mp in tbo meet ings bad to bo suppressed; (or the abrupt, di rect young mau did not regu'atc bis speech and manner bv conventional customs This, with other reductions, fretted tbo ardent aoul of the zealous convert; and, before long, bo turned bis face to the broad, free West, whoro tmtua, re ligious and otherwise, are leas rod nod and ham pered than In Uo*tou. iu ri.'ptewbor, 1850, Mr. Moody, th*n aged but 19, cuuio to Chicago. A business situation was boon secured, similar to the one ho Usd left. Ibis abaotbod bis energies during tbo week-days, leaving the evenings and Sundays to bo devoted to his favorite «oik of winning recruits for tbs urmy of the Lord. He joined Plymouth Church, and, hiring four pews, made it bU tlrst duty to keep them filled with young men every Sunday. Tills n cimudtehid, theio was an hntuonaa reserve of surplus force that mu t somehow bo expend id in active rcligiouw service. Casting about among tbo mias.oi-echools in the citr for some* tbiup arduous to do, Mr. Moody directly project ed a misaiou of bis own in the wretched, deserted quarier near the North-aide markat.
