MEDITATIONS ON DEATH AND ETERNITY. Translated from the German by . Frederica " Rowan. lgtno. Pp. 414. Boston:: Ticknor 4- Fields. For sale by R. S. Davis, 'Wood Street, Pittsburgh. Many of the readers of the Banner will remem .ber, that our London Correspondent, in one of his letters .some months since, alluded to a German work tot' -devout meditations, which had been a great favorite with his late Royal Highness, 'Mien Albert, and widoh, subsequently to the ~,,,death of the Prince, had proved a source of no lit tle solace to the mourning Queen. We were told thit a seleatiow had been made by the-latter, of the faverite Meditations, and that these had been translated, and printed in a volume for private I ,,eirculation, with a notice that the "Meditations" "‘ had "been selected for translation by one to whom, in deep and overwhelming sorrow, they had proved a source of comfort and edification." The volume has been re-published in America, and we trust.that many a child Of sorrow in our own; ;its well as in foreign lands, may derive "rfrotal it joy and spiritual benefit. While com mending this„book in'the main, we cannot for -bear remarking that, in some particulars, it falls lamentably short of the Calvinistic, and, as we believe, ,the Scriptural standard of Divine truth. For example; in arguing against the belief en tertained by many that sudden death is above all things dreadful, the author asks: "If sudden death were in reality the greatest of evils, bow Could God—whose children we all are, to whose grace and mercy we all lay claim—favor some human beings in this most important matter, (if It be really so,) and not others? * *-* What have the millions who breathe out their lives slowly on a bed of sickness done to deserve their being thus favored?" God can surely do.no in justice to any of his creatures, but are we not taught by both, providence and revelation, that as Sovereign he can do What he will with his teArit"47llfei‘ einnot.quioish , ati,y beyond their de serts, but he may justly bestow favor where none it anerited.

The aim .of the present work of an 'able and , 4 popular author seems to be, the inculcation of the truth that a lively sympathy-with the every day,yrants of man is indispensable to the ehnich4jltighest possible,efficsiency. ol'his aim o is truly excellent and of great practical import ance, but it is so long before it is developed, and, even then, there is so much of the fanciful and speculative mixed up with, the plain and practi sal, that matter-of-fact readers will ber we are satisfied, but little interested in the book as a whole. Those, however, who have a taste for the ideal and abstract, will find in it muoh to ad mirer The style is fascinating;' many of the ...passages are exquisitely beautiful ; and precious truths are scattered throughout the work—some of them palpable at a glance, others more or less concealed beneath the flowers of fancy.

Their ability to reproduce their - reiipeetive kinds* is an .ingreatyk that Dr. Olark estimates thvnumber of seeds „on one elm, tree at 580,000,000, sack, of which has the power of props , ting an,,,eititsl number. ~ Many, other,species th. arrPnot leskproli fi c. Moreover these seeds, are" irotidcirfully provided with die means of preservation, being invested, for the, 'most part, in water-tight cases, and some .furnished 'with downy wings, that the 7 may be borne through the air; others with burs, hooks, or barbed needles, that they may stick fast to whatever touches them, and thus be scattered (thread.; while others float through the waters in boat-like shells. 2. Vegetables impart oxygen to, and absorb carbon from, the atmosphere, thus furnishing that which sustains fire and life, and extracting that by which the air would otherwise by vitiated. 3. The vegetable tribes furnish the earth with many of its brightest ornaments— spreading its surface with a lovely carpet of green, covering its hills and dales with flowers of rarest hue and sweetest fragrance, and adorning its vast continents with grass, shrubs, and trees, whose green leaves, rich blossoms, waving branches, and beautiful tints, attract the attention and, delight "the eye of the beholder. The intelligent stu dent of nature finds inexhaustible sources of pleasure and instruction in the examina tion of all these—no'two trees, plants, leaves, flowers, or even seeds being exactly alike,, while all are so admirably construeted that the more minutely you scan them ,through the microscope, the more highly finished do they appear. Solomon, who " spoke of trees, from the cedar-tree . that is in Lebanon, even Aint° the hyssop that springeth out of the wall," exclaims : " hath made everything beautiful in his sea son." The vegetable world presents such specimens ,of the Creator's skill and handi work as the genius of man has never been able sucees.sfully to imitate or rival. ,4. From this source, the chief suste nance, fuel, clothing, medicine, habitations, and implements, for all orders of animalS, and especially for man, are derived. Roots, bark, leaves, blossoms ' sap, wood, frui , nuts, seeds, and buds, being used for one or more of these.purposes. Bread, sugar, honey; balm, coffee, tea, with every kind 'of wine, cidar, spice, sauce, and jelly; also, cotton, silk, hemp, and even hair, wool, and fur, may be classed among vege table productions. The' immense beds of coal found in the bowels of the earth are likewise generally conceded to be,of vegeta ble origin. • 8. This kingdom furnishes tinny of the most striking, and beautiful emblems of Christ, our adorable Redeemer. Thus he is likened to " the. apple tree among the trees of the wood ;" the " balm in Gilead;" "a cedar in Lebanon;". " a fir tree in, the desert;" " the excellency of Carmel and Sharon ;" " a fruitful bough ;" the glory 'of the garden, whose " cheeks are as sweet flowers, his lips like lilies dropping sweet smelling myrrh;" " honey and the' honey- Comb ;" " the pure juice of -the grape; "the lily of the. valley;" "a buodle of myrrh;" " new wine in the cluster " ointment poured forth ;" ." a plant of re nown ;'" 4 a polished shaft;"."the root sand offspring of David ;" " a bed of spices ;" " the tree of life ;" " the true, vine ;" " the wine of Lebanon;" " a young hart upon the mountains of spines:;".and Zion's crowning ornament and covering, under Whose shadow the. Church- sits " . ,with great delight, and his fruit is sweet to her. taste." [Sage e Query—(by a member of the elass)— Were all vegetables good for food previous to the fall Answer—Yes; but perhaps-not for man. Even now it is difficult to find any one-Spe cies which some order of animals does not use for food. Laurel supplies the bee with- honey. Tobacco has. given its name to a worm that feeds greedily upon it. The different parts of a plant often possess different properties. Of some the root is medidnal, the stern nourishing, the fruit poisonous, &c. Before the fall we may conclude every tree, plant, aid herb was good for food for some order of animals • while even for man, we have reason to be lieve, all were useful under certain circum stances, and when taken in proper quanti- . ties.—(See Ezek. xlvii : 12, and Rev. xiii : 2.) The sharp, quick sound of a crier's bell was heard above the rattle of carriages and the hum of multitudes hastening home as night came on, and the words, " Child lost 1 child lost !" fell upon the ears, and sent .a thrill of pain to the hearts of fathers and mothers, as the crier• passed up the street to the next corner, where he stopped to give a description of the Wanderer. How many held their breath and listen ed ! "Child lost ! child 1 A little girl— not quite three years 'or age—her hair light and curly—eyes blue ; when she left - home she was dressed in a scarlet frock and white apron . ; has been missing - four hours !" And again the bell was heard as the crier went, on proclaiming as he went the same mournful story. And where, all this time, was little Lily Ashton ? Soon after she left her father's door she made the acquaintance of other children in 'the street, with whom she played awhile, and then many things amused her as she ran along on , the crewd ed *sidewalk, unnoticed by the busy throng; but at length She discovered that her home was' no longer in sight, and that no dear papa or mamma answered her call; and the poor little lost one sat down on a doorstep and wept bitterly. A kind-hearted gentle man came that way—one who loved chil dren, and who was never happier than when they smiled on him from their bright faces, which, they Could hardly . help doing when he smiled so pleasantly on them, and who was always ready to speak comforting words when they were in trouble. " What's the matter, little Blossom-?" he asked. His voice was so full of love that Lily stopped crying, and brushing back her curls, looked up to see who it was that spoke to her. The light from a street lamp above her shone -full upon his benevolent face. " I isn't g little Blossom ;' I is Lily, and I want mamma," she said ; and the tears began to flow again. " But Lily won't cry any mote, because we will go and find mamma. Will Lily go with me:?" , Her tears ceased flowing, and she looked up into the kind face once more. " Has you got a little girl, and is she ( little Blossom?'" . , g No, my dear; I have no Lily - nor Blos som; only when I find one such as you; hut I love little girls and boys, and I don't like to see you cry. Will you go with me to find your mamma?" Lily stood up and put, her hand in his, for her heart was won. The.kind gentleman lifted the tired little girl in his arms and carried her .to the nearest police station, where he, knew he would learn what she could not - tell him about her home. And in a short time he placed„the„lost.darling, in thp. arms of her mother, whose anguish was thus turned in to joy. He found other ehildrebroth ers and sisters—in that home, and as the parents and children gathered around little Lily; lost an hour before, but now found, and as therlaughed,and wept by turns, he felt vi g, he was receiving' a richer reward' itk seeing their happiness—thely_joy over one4tir child—thin thanit; howager earn eit, could be. Joy Over One." PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1863. know you do not wonder that this fam were so glad to see Lily again. But their gladness reminds me—perhaps it has reminded you also—of some of the words of Jesus : " Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth." Can you tell why the happy family of the redeemed in heaven are joyful when a sinner repents ? A sinner, you know, is one who is diso beying God; who does not love 'or'trust in Christ; who is lost in the world, and who will never find the way to that beautiful home above ' unless he repents. Do you not think that if' you were in heaven, and could hear that some one on earth, who had been wicked, had repented and begun to love Jesus, and was coming to be in heav en too—happy and holy forever—you would be glad ? Perhaps some dear friends of yours are there now, and they .are hoping to hear that you are in the way to the same home, if you are, not already, in it. Dear child, have you begun to walk in that path which leads to the "beautiful,city built Above,?"

The Thittentots of.S'onth Africa irere,for merly very badly treated by some of the Dutch farmers, who held them as slaves, or employed them as laborers. At that time there were no. schools for the old or young, among them, and, except the missionaries, but,-few ; eared for. 50n1a.,,,. Indeed, many thought, or pretended to think, that a Hottentot had no soul; that he was little, if any thing,. better than the brutes that perish. Mr. Moffat once Met ,with ~a strik ing instance of this. He was travelling in South Africa, when; toward evenipg, went to the house of a Dutch fanner,: nod aAtight's lodging. This request wae granted,,a44 heft,,,Rec,rnade himself at` Pond' with the itraiggii. - 'After a short Aim ; the farmer and his ;wife learned ttliat their visitor was a minister;'and ' as 'the Dutch profess some respect for theform, at least, of godliness, Mr: Moffat proposed to , hold a religious, service with the 'family. To this the farmer agreed, and the prepar ations- for it were soon made: A great Dutch Bible, with heavy clasps, and which, it is feared, was not often opened, was plaoe4 .upon the 'top of a long table in,a very, large room, and a- lighted candle 'by .which- to readi Mr.. :filoffat ',took his seat, before the Bible, with the farmer on the right hand, and farmer's wife on the left. Below these, on both sides of 'the table, were grown-up sons and. daughters, and other members of the., family. • All seemed now to be ready, and every body expected that Mr. Moffat would begin. But he was, not satisfied. He 'knew that, _besides those who sat before him, there were Many tentot- jahorers i on the farm who never heard - tbe name of Jesus, and to whom he was resolved, if possible . , to preach.the ,Gos pel of ialvation. But how to get them into the room be did not quite , know.- He resolved, however, to _try. So, instead Of beginning, to, read the Bible, he leaned for ward, and seemed as if he was straining his .eyes to see"something in the distant and, dark parts : pf, the room. After a ;tittle the, farmer noticed this"movement-ands asked Mr. Moffat •what he, was looking for, saidilimisaionary, "1 Was only, looking for the Hottentots:4., In` a monienta frown'gnthered upon the. farmer's brow, his lip curled, as if to, show his contempt, and then, in a loud, rough, harsh. tone, he said : „ ' "'Hottentots, is it, ye want? Hottentots Cain the dogs 1" „ This would - lave upset some, men; but Mr. Moffat was prepared for.it,•as he knew well• that many; like the farmer thought that ministers might just as well to dogs as to Hottentots. Without, therefore, =using any arguments of his own, he opened• his Bible -at the fifteenth chapter of Mat. thew, and read, with as much force ,and, solemnity as he could, the 27th verse " Truth, Lord; yet the dogs eat the crumbs, which' from their " . master's table!" He then sat silent for a minute; and 'looked to -444 'Bat as ttle;:iiiiih *an made no motion, Mr. Moffat repeated the ":Sop IVanted.! verse, and while he did so fixed his dark eye full upon his host. Still the man sat silent, and did not seem to be moved. A third time, therefore, Mr. Moffat, turning toward him, and looking him full in the face, repeated the words, " Yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table." At once the farmer roared out, " Stop ! I can stand it nix longer ;" and then added, " Call in the Hottentots ! call in the Hottentots !"—Miss. Magazine. Teri:Balm Underground. An .aceount.of Signor Pierotti's discov eries in the subterranean topography of Jerusalem has been published. Employed by the Paella as an engineer, he has dis covered that the modern city of Jerusalem stands on several layers of ruined masonry, the.undermost ofwhich, composed of deep ly bevelled and enormous stones, he attrib u-tes to the age of.
