MEE • fnlty. And if we did go on and rolopi :he wok, ii would certainly be defeated. no Sow hero Presbyteries must still be counted, end they would ho a dead shot against it. H o e „ gi ,,,,, c ,1 that the discussion continue in tho Assembly until the evening of the 26th, at such Lours as shall net be occupied by other busi ness, Rev. Mr, Eashill was gladlhe motion for post .ponement had been made. It was not pretended that the adoption of the new book was essential. If it was necessary to suppress discussion in order to adopt this book, the book ought not to be adopted. Just now ho did not wish to see any thing that might possibly interfere in any way with the union of the different branches of.the great Yrosbyterian family, especially this body and that one now meeting in Dayton, Ohio. The greatest missionary field was now opening to this Church and the other branches of the Pres byterian Church, which the world has ever seen. Rev. Mr. Hays said that the Presbytery of lisltirnore was unanimously in favor of the re vised book. DidCl3BBloll now could not fail to loke profitable. Because of the difficulties connected with the old book; discipline was in some oases altogether neglected. R ev . Mr. Hudson inquired—Who led the way in this Revision t Was it not the General As sembly ? And the Assembly cannot now dismiss the work of its own committee. Mr. ,Kompshall hoped the motion of Dr. Rice would prevail,. and would not be voted doWn .in order to consider Dr. Lowrie's suggestion. Dr. Nevin Was still in favor of holding on to the old book. Ile would vote against the Revis ion, if Oere should not he another vote. - The old book was a nucleus around which all the differ ent branches of Presbyterianism could cluster. Lf young men bad any difficulty in understand ing the Discipline of our Church, it was because this part of their education: had been neglected in our Theological Seminaries. Dr. Krebs said that he had no personal anxi ety on the subject,. The committee had 'acted according to the advice of the Church so far as it could be ascertained. That this discussion bad been before the Church for seven yearti, was proof that there was a need felt on the part of the Church. It was doubtful whether say, com mittee or Assembly could ascertain the mind of the Church better than had been done already. Be would.not restrain discussion, he was never weary of the speeches of his brethren, But at the same time, in a body constituted as this is, it was almost impossible to met,wisely, in all instances, In adopting a Book.. This was Illustra,ted by the manner in whieh'eur present Book of realms and Hymns had been adopted. He thought all the members should read carefully the changes proposed, and not depend entirely on the discus sions for information. The Moderator announced the following Com mitted on Ministers' Salaries : Messrs. Ryerson, Linn, Todd, McCandless and Stanley Matthews. Mr. Hynes thought the improvements of the Book ad,vantageoua, and that they should not be throwleveritioard. • Rev. Mr. Fenton said that he was in favor of the changes proposed, but wished a postpone ment for a year or two. - Rev. Mr. Miller said. his Presbytery were in favor of the new Book, but he was convinced that delay was advisable. Dr. Elliott remarked that postpdnement im plied no censure on the work of the committee, and also no disposition to oast aside their labors. The motion of Dr. Rice was then adopted. The chairmen of the different standing Com mittees appointed the places of meeting. The Assembly then adjourned with prayer by Dr. Rice. ATTEIRNOON 8.1;8810N. Prayer by the Moderator. The Pertanent Clerk read a letter from' the Rev. Dr. Grundy, delegate to the United Presby terian General Assembly, in which he gave an account of his.visit to that body ; of 'his cerdial reception, and of the kind greeting sent by that body. The report of Dr. Grundy was aocepted, on motion of Mr. McCarrel, and the fidelity of the delegate approved. On motion of Dr. Junkin, it was made the first order of the day for Tuesday afternoon to receive the Delegates from Foreign Bodies, and also the reports of our own delegates to such bodies: Tho Temporary Clerk read a letter 'from the Be,. Mr. Johnston, a delegate from the General Assembly of the Church of Ireland, to, the Churches in British North America, stating that although he had no commission to this Assembly, it was his intention to be present at its sessions for a lime. A letter from the General Assembly of the Church of Ireland was also read. These were referred to the Committee on Foreign Correspon dence. • Rev. Dr. Krebs read the report of the Com mittee on Vacant ()hutches and Unemployed Ministers, appointed by the last General Assent bly. The report admitted the difficulties in the way of supplying vacant churches and of giving appropriate work to uriemployed ministers, and recommended the Assembly to adopt some meth od for the •removal of• the impediments in the way, and for•bringing such ministers and such churches into closer connection. Rev, Mr. Miller having intimated his desire, yesterday afternoon, to make a motion for the observance of, a day of fastiug, humiliation, and prayer, during the present sessions of the Gen eral Assembly, now presented hie motion, which was seconded. He said ho was not ignorant of Satan's devices. Ono of these had been the fraudulent proclamation "which had caused so much anxiety. But by this motion he would not intimate for a moment, that the condition of the country was desperate; `his hopes qf its success were never bMgliter. • Not only were humiliation and prayer neoessary In times of deep distreee, but in any great undertaking. Their faith and prayer were to be called into exercise. Now'was a time when Christian meeting with Christian, should say, Come and let us pray to God. No one can tell what interests of the Church are now involved in the state of our country. We had late examples of the observance of such a day. One year ago the. General Convention of the Episcopal Church had observed such a day, and lately it had been done by the General Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now in session at Philadelphia, The less_ we expect from the Government in the way of recommend ing such a day at present, the greater is the rea son for us to pray. Rev, Mr. liaskell said, that last Tuesday, in a hospital for officers, he had found one-third of the whole number, members of the 'Church of Christ. One man, a Virginian by birth, but Col onel, of a Michigan regiment, said he had never doubted the success of our cause since he gave himself to the service of his country, but be had often thought there was .not,prayer enough for our Army and Country. He Celt nerved In battle when be knew that his wife at, home was pray ing for him and.his men. Mr. Haskell contin ued, if it is my duty to love my neighbor, it must be my duty to love my country. Let us remember our DOW fellows who are in the fight. They ask, Do Christians and the Church pray.for ns ? Are they in sympathy with us t Rev. G. P. Hays suggested as an amendment, that the committee, in making the arrangements for a day of prayer, should take into considera tion the claims of the Christian Commission. He had delivered the first sermon preached to oar soldiers'by . any pastor South of Mason and Dixon's Line. Jr. Mcandiess called for the reading of the. paper. The paper was read. • Dr. Nevin said he would be the last man to oppose any movement of this kind ; but we should guard against giving any expression of dlecouragemont as to our national affairs, which was certainly the impression that would be re solved by many from the paper• of Mr. Millet, though it was far from the purpose of its author. Therefore he read a paper appointing Tuesday II a day of special thanksgiving and prayer. Rev. Mr. De Lancey, knowing the intense anx iety and tenderness of the people; regretted that a paper worded as Mr. Miller's, had been intro duced, It *you'd tend to depress the loyal and to encourage the disloyal. lie begged Mr. tall ier not to press his paper, and was earnestly -in favor of that of Mr. Nevin. Mr. Henry was in favor of the motion of Dr. Ravin; the resolution was composed, in great pert, of the words need by the President in his last call to prayer and thanksgiving. Rev. Mr. Rays was also in favor of tbip proposition. ROT. Mr. Marshall said the fewer words used, the better. We know not what the State of the Country may be on the day proposed. He pre ferred the simple passage ota resolution that we would spend the day ih prayer for our 001M and for the success of our arms. Ray, Mr. Tally said he did not sympathize with the idea that humiliation and fasting im plied discouragement. When Daniel was filled. with With highest hope he fasted and prayed. Dr. Candce said we all wanted the same thing; the only difference was, how to get at it. He Would tell them how a soldier feels. He had three eons in the army. They all write often and ask for prayers. He held in his hand a let ter just received from one of them, who said, as 'imbed said fifty times before: "Do not forget to pray for me; your prayers do me great good." kris eon was a missionary in his company and is his regiment. When entering the !service he 'had resolved not to gamble or swear, not to drink, not to use to di};l,.And he had kept his resolution. Dr. Backus remarked, we small agreed as to the need of prayer. This id not the .question. The proposition of Mr. Miller would certainly have en unhappy effect on the public mind. The miserable, fraudulent, and cruel impbeition practised this week had had its depressing Wed. on the public mind. Dr. Nevin's resolution was altar and unobjectionable. Who does notpray far Me eatuttry,t Who dare refuse .to pray le it now ? A day of prayer was well enough ; but after all, this might be a grand formality. He - was for sending forth a special injunction for all 1 he member, of our Church to pray for the coun try. He would be willing to spend double the time allotted for devotional exercises, every day, in prayer for the country. Let it be agreed to pray every day,: and in every prayer for the country, earnestly and solemnly. Dr. Musgrave moved to refer the whole matter to a special committee. Judge Ryerson said this was unnecessary. The whole matter could be easily attended to now. He was in favor of acting now, and of re questing the New School General Assembly, now in session at Dayton, Ohio, to unite with us ; and also that the whole afternoon of Wednes day be spent in thanksgiving for the past, and in praying for success in the futurei Rev. Dr. Tustin was not well. He was from the utmost verge of day. For months in sight of the rebel flag, and within hearing of the rebel artillery. Re knew what effect the paper of Mr. 'Miller would have on the disloyal, and therefore preferred that of Dr. Nevin; but was especially in favor of continuous prayer, as intimated by Dr. Backus... We are now in. the •heart of the conflict. It was his great desire that the spirit of devotion in this respect be kept constantly alive. aev. Mr. Fenton, of Missouri ' 'said half of our Church in Missouri were afraid to prsy for the success of eur arms. In a church in St. Louis; last Sabbath, a minister had prayed in this way; and large numbers, including an elder who had sought to be a member of this Assembly, had left thelouSe. , T . he disOussion here ended. The substitute of Dr. Nevin, as amended by Judge Ryerson, and finally adopted, is as follows : " lirnanatts, There iaenough-in the recent op erations of our army to claim our especial grati tude,tO God f and whereas, what remains undone demands our most sincere prayers to, And reli mace upon, him, (Without whom all human effort is vain) ; therefore, • • " Pearlved, That the Assembly, in. view of the condition of our country, will spend Wednes day afternoon net in thanksgiving to Almighty God, for, past mercies, and - in prayer for his con- tinued blessing upon our country." On motion of Judge Ryerson ' the Stated Clerk was directed to send a copy of this resolution to the New School General Assembly, and ask it to unite with us. . • The remainder of the session was then spent in singing, and- prayer for the country, in the following order: 86th Psalm, let and 2d verses ; prayer by Dr. Backus. 85th Psalm, last two verses; prayer by Dr. liVidee. 81st Psalm, 3d, 4th, and 6th , versos; prayer by T. Charlton - Henry.' Closed with piayer by Dr. Krebs. Third Day. SATURDAY, May 21-9" o'clock. The first half hour spent in devotiOnal -exer cises. hlinUtes of yesterday were read, corrected and approved.. Rev. Dr. Mao Master gave notice of his inten tion to offer a paper recommending the observ ance of a day of luting and prayer by our whole Churoh, in view of the state of the Church and. the.world, and especially in view of the state of our own Church and country. This was made the seeondArder 'of the day for, this forenoon. The hour for the .order of the day having ar rived, viz., receiving the report of the Commit tee on Church Extension, Dr. Musgrave, Chair man, presented the report. Mr. Coe, the Secretary, addressed. the Assem bly. During the year, the contributing church es. were 126 more than the previous year. The receipts from all sources were $24,847.49. The expenditures were $12,302.51. The average ad vance in the appropriations corresponded almost exactly with the advance in reeeipte.' -The ad vance in the oost of church buildings hail in creased 34 per cent. over the previous year. There seems to be a necessity for increasing theamounts given to each church, on account of the increased expense in building. But we .must not increase beyond .the means • supplied by the Church, or the wishes of .the Assembly. The Assembly must decide what the Beard is to do, that feeble churches may not languish. Dr. Musgrave had .been surprised. that this cause had not elicited more attention from the Chuieh, or had not drawn out its benevolence more fully. He had become early, impressed with tbe need of such a Board as this. But he had been disappointed in the results. He had supposed that the Board would be able to collect double the amount now reported. This was no reflection on the Board, much less on its Seer& Mary, but on the churches. The number of 'con tributing churches was shamefully, small. Still he rejoiced to notice some improvement. The committee were unanimously of the opinion that the Board Should increase its appropriationsif the means ,were supplied. The increase should at least keep pace with the increased cost of building. Many excellent' domestic missionaries fail only, from want of a house, suitable for pub lic worship. The ablest men in this Assembly, and of highest repute for eloquence, would ut terly fail itoompelled to labor in places such as many of our young men are often compelled to occupy. The contracted accommodations are, often euch as altogether to interfere with success. While our poor missionary has been laboring un der these disadvantages, another denomination has erected a house of worship and taken the field from us. The want of a church edifice se riously interferes with the support of a pastor. Annual subsoriptiens are a poor reliance. first they may answer, but in the end all such promises fail of realizing the hopes 'excited.' This want also hinders the - Board of Domestic Missions. t iThousands 'of dollars have been drawn from `the treasury of that 'Board, :which might have been saved, hack church buildings been provided in destitute' places: One thought more. Money given to this Board is not con sumed. •The churches remain as the 'permanent property of the Church. It is an ecolesiastical investment which will continue to do good - for generations, as the endowments of Colleges and Theological Seminaries. . Dr. Tustin had desired to make some remarks, but his venerable . friend had anticipated him. He fully endorsed what he and the excellent Sec :retary had said. He had some experience in the erection of churches. - Within eight , years...he had commenced an enterprise in Maryland. Soon their accommodations were too small, and they were - compelled to retire - to one, of,nature's cathedrals. There, in a precious_ revival, his voice was broken, and he has been ever since a cripple in that particular. But timely assistance came—wohuroh was erected, and now a proiper ous congregalion is found there.. He wished he had the voice and strength of—he was about to say his venerable father, Dr.' Musgrave—(laugh ter) that he _might speak orthie subject as it merited. Mr. Hall remarked that the condition of the churches, in West Virginia it this: They must pay out money for everything. His Presbytery had 42 churches-and 4 ministers in a territory of 44,000. "gum miles, and 830,000 %habitants. That Presbytery could have been organized in no place except where loyal men had dared all. At the late meeting,of that Preebytery, but three ministers remained, one having left; at that time three more were received. Three-fourths of the , churches have been burned. We have no money. Our horses have been stolen, and our barns robbed by the enemy and the guerillas. We need the sympathy and help of the world and the Church. Our fewministers are brave and courageous men; they make themselves mis sionaries, and travel from 100 to'2oo miles to preaoh the Gospel to the destitute. We are not able to %creed) the salaries of our ministers, and they cannot live. on their present salaries. No other people are in greater need of help than the Presbyterians of West Virginia. Rev. Mr. Tully said this Board must be sup ported this year more liberally than in any previ ous year. Otherwise, many of 'our churches on the borders, particularly, will languish. The previous speaker had, well described the state of things in West Virginia ; and he know that this was the condition of things beyond the Missis sippi and. on the Peninsula. Every church should give, every Presbytery should enjoin it. His church was a small one, but he had never failed to piesent the claims of all our Boards ev ery year, and he never would fail. Ministers and oessiona make a mistake ; the people are not. so reluctant to give at least something to every good work. _ He hoped the Mew:ably would en join every Presbytery to enjoin every church to make contributions to this object. Dr. Candee wished the entire Presbyterian Church could be made to hear the sentiments ut tered this morning. Long experience convinced him that one of the most important things in the North-west and West, was church. erection. Just as soon as a church was erected, there was a tangible centre around which the people can cluster. There are now many strategic points the West where great good 'could be done, if church-buildings were provided. There are many prosperous congregations where none would have been,,had it not ken for this Board. Ire would impress on all our ;wealthy- churches that it was of the highest importance to provide destitute places with houses of worship. To pass resolutions was not enough. We must do what we resolve to do. It was a mistake for minis ters to suppose ".tliat presenting tiler claims of benevolenbe to their people wits uffieceptable. The report, oommending the Board for; lidellty, 2, recoromendedAto: the prayer, and lib erality of the churches. 4.0 that the Board make large appropriation' diming the year.

The first was a complaint of the Presbytery, of St. Claireville against the SynOtiOf Wheeling,in, - ;the deolijon of the' ease of the church at the PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.--WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1864. Committee recommend the dismission of this case, as the Synod pronounced no judgment. The Committee also recommend the dismission of No. 4, which is a memorial from the pastor and Session of the church of Bloomington, 111.. con cerning the decision of the last General As sembly in the ease of Dr. Worral. The Com mittee recommend its dismission beoause this Assembly has no power to review the action of the last Assembly. The Committee recommend that the Gth, which comprises various various papers connected with Dr. MoPheeters and the Presbytery of St. 'Louis, he . taken up by the General Assembly and issued in the order pre scribed in the Book. The Committee on Bills and Overtures pre sented various papers, which were placed.on the docket. Notices of appointments for preaching on to morrew were given. Owing to the inability of Rev. Mr. Johnston to attend the meeting of the Cumberland Pres byterian General Assembly; the Rev. W. W. Colmary, of Lebanon, Ohio, was appointed in his place, and the Stated Clerk was directed to, inform him by telegraph. The Gerieral Assembly then adjourned, to give the members an opportunity of attending the laying of the corner stone of 'Brown Rail, at Prinsieton Theological Seminary. Closed with prayer by Rev.

Butler was attacked on Monday 'morn ing, May 16th, by the enemy in force, under cover of a dense fog.; but after severe fighting, the fog also lifting, the, enemy were repulsed. Our loss is stated at 6,000, killed, wounded, and missing. Gen. HeCkman was captured 'by the enemy. Affairs look less 'promising than for, mercy in this quarter. On Tuesday, May 17, Gen.

She has left an aged husband, solitary and alone, to mourn her loss—yet not alone, for God is with him, and he - has the sweet comfort that his loss is her eternal gain. May the ,presence of his Saviour cheer him in his lonely, pathway, and his Spirit prepare him for whappy reunion' in heaven. ' B. ' DID--At Slate Lick, Armstrong County, Pa., March 16th, 1864, in the. 71st year of her age, MARGARET, wife of David Hall, Sr. Of her life there is no need to speak -to those who knell/her. There was a beautiful consist ency about her which is rarely met with. Al ways-kind and gentle, she secured the obedience and respect of her phildreri =without any show of authority. She governed by love; and in re turn enjoyed the sincere affection, and .grati tude of her family. During six , months of= ex treme suffering, she exhibited unexampled'Va deuce ;no murmur ever escaping her lips. Her daily prayer was for patience and sustaining grace. She longed to depart•and be with Jesus, and often prayed for a speedy release, but al ways in submission to= the will of bpi heavenly Father. Once some one spoke of her assurance ; when s'h'e replied she did not know what full as surance was; but she had strong faith. in her Saviour, and had no fears. Speaking' of the ground of her hope, she referred to the interceer sion of Christ, and quoted, with great difficulty,. the words, 4 . , Hell Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me," 8:c. She retained her mental powers perfectly to the last ; and we often observed the acouracy with 'which she quoted passages= of' Scripture and verses of favorite hymns. She loved theseOpre eious _hymns, and one of the writer's earliest recollections is of hearing her sweet voice in the bright Summer-days, singing.: “How tedious and tasteless the hours, . • When Jesus no longer I see." That was her experience—Jesus was her all, and they were "tedious hours" toiler when she felt not his presence. But, deer mother . ! the "O dious". hours and the, "tasteless" are all over with her. She is now with Jesus on the heaven ly hills, Where no "Midsummer sun shines but dim ;",for "The Lord God giveth them light': and theY shall reign forever and ever." Farewell, dear mother, till we shalt take your hand and hear your, ! voice in the Resurrection, when God will bring all his peoPle to their home with Jesus ! ' •" Through gated celestial, far above, Her soul has passed and found its rest, As bird escaped flies to its:nest; She slugs - there on her &Moues breast, A ceaseless song of love." DIED—In Union congregation,- May 13th, CURTIS, son of Wat. A. Foster, in the= sth year of his age. . . .... ' - , . "Of such is the kingdontiof hetgen." • H. I.llED—April. 25th, In Union congregation, Armstrong County, Pa., Mrs. ELIZABETH FOSTER ,in , n Ike 78th year of her age. •• Mrs. Fostei was a consistent membei of the Church, a kind neighhor and a true friend. She .had the satisfaction of seeing all her children, and many of her children's children, members of the Church of her choice. She was strongly attached •to the doctrines of our Church ; nor were they mere doctrines to her, bnt•(he aliment of her spiritual life—the strength. and. comfort of her declining years. f;}he trusted - the atone ment of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying once, in answer to such, a question; "Surely,' surely. Were it not so, Q what would become of me I" She suffered excruciating pain 'for many months, but not as much, she said, as she deserved, or as Jells had suffered. for her. "She died at peace. with God; we believe, trust ing in Jesus. And just sixty minutes after the messenger came from the "King of the coun try" for this venerable ,‘ Christiana," another came for our young " Patience" among the pilgrims : ' NANCY A. FOSTER, daughter of C. A. Foster, died. April 25th, in the 16th_ year of her age. • Her patience was remarkable, and her trust in Jesus unwavering. 'fillip, “Bliased are the dead which die in the Lord." - H. DIED—At the residence of her parents, Adams, Pa., April 19th, NANNIE, daughter'of C.. Foster, Sr., aged le, years. This dear little girl was a monument to the Power of Divine grace. Naturally modest and gentle, kind, and sympathizing to the utmost with the sick, the suffering, and the poor,. when this nature was baptized with the Spirit of God, it became a beautiful nature indeed. Through weary 'months of.incre.saing weakness, though life had many attractions for' her, she never once murmured or Oomplained—was always cheerful and submissive as a child. Her religious life was not strikingly manifest till. near her end, when it burst forth suddenly, rich and beautiful as s tropical flower under a Summer MIL Her end was not only peace and joy, but triumph. She sent for her pastor,. and in reply to his ques tion, " Are you happy ?" she said, "O yes ; 1. have given myeelf to Jews, and I am so happy. And soon .I expect to be with the , bright'throng, when, with a crown on my brow and a harp in my hand, I shall be forever praising redeeming love." And thus she talked those_ precious hours whioh some of- us felt were hours spent on the very border's of heaven. Onoe she said; "It would be so nice to go home to-iight, just as I am." And then, folding her hands, prayed, "Please,.God, do take me home to-night. ' And many, many mare precious words there were, which an obituary notice could not well contain. "Calm on - the bosom of thy, God, Fair spirit, rest thee now E'en while with us thy foOtsteps trod, His seal was on thy brow. - • Dust to its,narrow home.beneath ! Soul to its place on high! They that have seen thy look in death, - No more may fear to die." . . „ . , 'DH:EDApriI 17th, hi' Ridhlsnit Tawnehitoi Vetiangs - County;: aged 74 years. , - ~.biss., l l,ioltiy was born in Cumb'erland County, Pa. At an early age.she removed with her par ents to Batter County, in the same . State. In .1808 ehe was married to Mr. James Bilohey, With - whom she passed many happy, years.' She adaditra.profeiiion of religion, under thi minis= try of Father MoCiarragh, more than. forty years ago. Mrs. 11. was one of thn excellent of the earth. She was naturally endowed with good sense and a solid judgment, but grace super added the "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit." She was highly distinguished for strength of character, for the consistency of her Christian walk, for the faithfulness with which she discharged her duties, and for the pa tience and cheerfulness with which she bore the burthens and met the trials of life. She was warm and constant in her attachments, and ever true, faithful, and reliable as a friend. Kind and generous to her neighbors, she was loved and respected by all. In advanced life, her heart, was young and warm, her temper was cheerful, and her hands were busy. To the close of life she was most diligently employed in the affairs of her household, and in the services of religion. She "brought forth fruit in old ago." In sickness; in trouble, in the prospect of death, she had a delightful trust in God, a sweet composure—apparently the "full assurance of faith." There is every reason to think that she "died in the Lord." Her aged companion survives. Alone he must continue his journey. But he knows that he will soft finish his pilgrimage ; and he has the pre cious hope that he will soon meet the friend of his youth and-the companion of hie old age, in that blessed world where youth is immortal, and where the pang of separation is never felt.

In:previons Biographies of Franklin; the course pursued has been to, give the fragments of Autobiography whidh • Franklin prepared for the bengfit of youth, (omitting, therefore, much of interest to mafurer readers,}' and to ap pend to these a brief account of Franklin's public career. Adniirable as le the portion Of autobiography which Frank. lin left, it cannot be regarded as a satisfactory biography, not merely bebause it was designed for the young, but. also because 710 mantan be an impartial judge of hit own actioni: Ma pride or modesty, will prevent. Mr. Parton has used Franklin's autobiography as material only, employing in his narrative of Franklin's early lite the mass of interesting material afforded by the newspapers,, hooks and Corrennondence of the period. His laterlife also is fully related in these volumes for the first time. Besides the stores:of material collected in our Historical Libraries, Mr. Parton has obtained mach that is absolutely new; and" much more that will be new to all but those who have made the times of Franklin an object of special research. Frank lin, -Perhaps, offers theshest subject for. biography to be found in the annals of„America. His. career As a citizen, tradesman, philosopher, polit'cian, statesman, diplomatist, and author, presents a variety of incident, anecdote, and history wholly without parallel. Mr. Parton divides his Work into seven parts:,l. Frank lin's Apprenticeship to Life, which ends with his starting in business, and his happy recovery from his early skepticiem. 2.
