SATAN'S DEVICES AND THE BELIEVER'S VICTORY. By Bev. William L. Parsons, Pas tor of the Congregational Churh, Mattapoi. sett, Mass. Pp. 812. 1864. Boston: Gould I t Lincoln. New-York : Sheldon 4. Co. Pitts burgh: United Presfriferian Board of Publica tion, 81 Street; and. Davis, Clarks 4. Co., 'Food Street. A treatise adapted to.popularuse, on the de . vices of Satan against the behever, has been greatly needed. To manyminds, the whole sub .lect of Satanic agency is most perplexing; while, owing to the prevalence of a semi-infidel spirit, with many others there is .more or less doubt concerning-the existence and power of evil spir its. In this volume we have a clear statement of the Soriptural teachings concerning the existence and influence of Satan, of his intense desire to thwart all the purposes of Gad, of his wicked opposition to allthat is good. and of the malig. "thy with which he pursues Christians, impedes, their pregress, destroys their peace, and often covers them with confusion and shame. But at the same time we have here eat before us, in the light of Divine truth, bow Satan and his de-rices are detected and overcome, and how the believer, is to be at length victorious. On the whole, thiS is a book for the pastor, to aid him in warning and comforting his people; and for the private Christian, that be may be freed from the delu sions of atan, vanquish the prinoe of the power of the air, and be filled with peace and joy.

These three 'volumes are all from the prolific pen of Oliver Optic, author of " Boat Club," " Riverdale Story Books," &0., &o. - Boston: Lee it Shepard. Pittsburgh : Davis, Clarke t'Co. The juvenile reading public 'has already_be come familiar with Oliver Optic (William' T. Adams,) from his previous successful efforts, in hie numerous "stories for young people," to en tertain and instruot the class for which he writes. These new volumes will add to his pop ularity with his young friends. Whilst there are perhaps a sameness of characters and a resem blance of plot in many of his volumes, with now and then a philosophy that is too mature for the youthful lips that are made to enunciate it, there are nevertheless a liveliness of narrative, a happy faculty of saying much that may be remembered with prat, and an interest thrown around alter nators and incidents even where we recognise en old acquaintance, that never fail to render the Optio stories attractive to both boys and girls. The last two volumes above named are the commencement of a new series, entitled " The Woodville Stories," to be completed in six vol umes, and from this speoimen of the set we can safely commend them to the readers for whOm they are designed. HISTORY OF THE. ADMINISTRATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN ; including his speech es, letters, addresses. proclamations and mes sages, with a preliminary sketch of his life. Dy henry J. Raymond.

The object of this work, as stated in the preface, is to collect , the various documents in which the President has, from time to time, em bodied his sentiments on the affairs of the coun try, and the motives prompting the successive acts of the Administration. So much of narra tive bee been introduced as was judged neces sary to connect these papers, and explain the circumstances under which they were issued. If not history, in its exeotest sense, Mr. Riy mend'e book is a storehouse of the materials from which the history of this administration must be drawn, and the examination we have been able to give the volume induces us to be lieve that the compiler's task has been ably and faithfully performed. It will have a peculiar value at the present time, in view of the recent nomination of Mr. Lincoln for reflection. fatsibt geabing, Story About Dogs. " Tell us a story about dogs, papa." tl You like a story, Jane, better than this grave way of speaking ? Well, they are both good in their own place. You knew that dogs have often saved men's lives? "Oh I yes. The Newfoundland dogs save people from drownina, and the dogs of St. Bernard save people from dying in the snow." " Very well rethembered. Eaoh of these has his own wonderful instinct given by God, and makes the right use of it; and is a useful example for na to follow, by em ploying for the good of our fellow men the higher powers .we• have received—our speech, and reason, and knowledge of the 616spel. But you are wishing for a story-- not*. lecture. Well, I shall tell you one I read lately, of a shepherd being saved from a dreadful death by the sagacity of his dog." " Oh 1 that will be nice. Where was it, papa " It happened in the Island of Arran, perhaps' about fifty years ago. A stout, active sheep-farmer left his house on a fine Autumn morning; to look after his sheep on a distant hill. It was a wild, romantic walk, through a glen. strewn With large pieces of granite rock, which had fallen from the mountains on either- side. ' Ro nald had _his two doge with him, and he suddenly noticed that they Vail started ,a fine rabbit, and wore chasing it down hill. He watched them with some interest, but just as they were-on the point of seizing the creature, it slipped under one of the large fallen rocks, and disappeared." " I am glad the rabbit escaped." " Ronald - was not glad ; he thought a good rabbit would have made an excel lent supper. : So be went _'up to the rook, and found that it was a large mass of gran ite resting on sotne smaller stones, and that the rabbit, had , aone into the crevice be tween them. Without much thought, he lay down at full length, and thrust his arm into the hole to feel .for the animal. But oh 1 what was his horror, when suddenly the great rock slipped down a few inches, and fixed his arm between itself and the smaller stone'!" Oh I papa, could he not draw hie'arm out again ? " He tried, but found this quite impos. Fable. There he was, firmly fastened to the earth, in great pain from the pressure of the rock, and in the solitary wilderness, miles from any human habitation." " But," said. Mrs. Stewart, " can this be true? How, Gould he have moved such "a large rock by touching it ?" "I am assured of the truth of the story, and there is nothing impossible in the rock moving. It is well known that in moun tainous regions of our own or other coun tries, there are sometimes found what are stalled 'rocking stones.' One mass of gran ite rook rests upon another only at a point, and is so nicely, balanced that a very small effort will make it vibrate or rook -like a eradle.''. "But we are forgetting poor Ronald, said Mrs. Stewart; do you suppose that he had touched a rocking-stone , "Not exactly, but a rook which Wal3 rest ing so unsteadily.on the broken pima be low, andthe steep „side of the, hill, that a a very little tone made it move ownward." ""Then what a dreadful situation his must have been t What did. Ile do r "He fainted from pain and terror, and when he had recovered, his senses, felt that, he might die of starvation before any hu-, man.being was likely to pass such a lonely, spd. His first thought Was to try to cut off his arm at the• shoulder, with his pock.: et knife, and thus release himself." " Horrible ! did he do so?" " Mercifully he could not easily get hold of his knife, and had time to consider that even it he , succeeded in accomplishing the terrible operation, he should die . from loss of blood before reaching home. Then, suddenly and most providentially, .it cc= cured to him that his faithful dogs Might be the means of deliverance. The poor animals seemed quite to understand that he was in distress, and were whining and fawning upon him, licking his face,. and snuffing all around, as if seeking how to help him. Be tried to order them,home, bat they seemed determined not to forsake him; and even when he scolded them away,.they soon returned. At last he re collected that one of them had a remarka r ble love for his youngest hoy,.and was his constant playfellow. So calling the faith= fal animal, he told it to go and 'seek Al aitair,' and to his inexpressihle joy beheld it with a joyful bark set off at full speed." " But, papa, the boy could not save his father; he would not be strong enongh." " No, but the dog on reaching home be haved in a. strange way, leaping upon the boy, running toward the hill, and looking back with a whine, as if entreating him to follow, and rep‘ating this again and again, till at last the -whole family_were alarmed, and convinced that some. accident must have happened. They called together their nearest neighbors, and set off in all haste, taking with them ropes' and toole. - The dog led the way, evidently with great joy. They arrived at the spot where the 'poor sufferer lay, and with much difficulty and great caution were able to release him. "And ; was he much hurt ?" " It was long before he recovered, for be- - sides the injury to the arm, the shock 'to his nerves had been so great." " How they would all love that dog ever after!", " They Would, indeed, and I trust they would long feel the deepest gratitude to their gracious , God, who had. made the wonderful instinct of this creature the means„of such a blessed deliverance." The Bailor•Boy and~ his Bible A — gentleman who has been much en gaged in distributing the Word of God among sailors and soldiers, relates this pleasing incident. He says : "I have been a sailor for many years. I filled the position of chief officer Ou board a large vessel in. Old Calabar, on _the coast of Africa, at a tithe when Yellow Jack' (fe ver) was committing fearful ravages among our poor fellows. It was - my sad duty to go down each morning to the lower deck to see if any had died during the previous night. • On one - occasion, after passing from hammock to hainmoek on that por tion of the deck appropriated to the tack, was grasped by a cold and clammy hand, and turning, I beheld a dying shipmate, for whom no earthly hope wild be enter tained, as he exhibited all the symptoms of having -reached that crisis in this fearful disease known as the 'black vomit.' With great effort he was able to:-speak; and in a tone . of- voice so unearthly and pitiful as even to arrest and rivet the attention of many sufferers around him, he said Oh sir, for God's sake, let some one read the Bible to me, for I'm - dying; if you pass the word, air, surely some one will have the Bible I' I immediately did so, but net a sinsle seaman in the ship had a Bible. However,. a boy, who was an apprentice on board, came up to me ,and, said, 'Sir, I have a Bible in my cheat in the half-deck, and I will bring it and read for poor Rich ards, if you will allow me.' " God bless you, my boy,' said the dying man in reply, as I gave him the order to bring the Bible. During the time the boy was bringing the Word of God, many of the sailors and Broo-men :(Africans) col lected round the hairimeek of the dying. They did not- erne to see the poor fellow die, for the sight of death there was a daily occurrence; it was, as one of the Kroo-hoys expressed it, to see what dem good4teok do for-poor MllBBl Riofiie , dat time he go-to toder place.' The apprentice returned in a few .moments, holding in, his hand a small Bible: he came close to the dyirig man, and having opened at the third chap ter of the. Gospel of John, he read. thee words—, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' All: attention was fixed on the dying man while these words were slowly and quietly read. His coun tenance displayed the most anxious and earnest gaze I ever saw. - The -little -boy was continuintito read when - he was inter rupted by the voice of Richard, in a'loud and excited tone,- Stop, my boy, 'stop ! read that again and again the boy read the words—' God soy loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoio ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,' And again he was interrupted a - second, a third, and a fourth time by the dying request&—' Stop. my boy, stop ! read that again I until the struggling soul learned by heart these pre cious words and was employed in faintly _repeating _the lured text, - upon.which, I believe, he was enabled with true faith to rest. After a abort pause, I looked around and beheld the tears 'running down many a weather-beaten face, and observed even the dark eountenaneei of the Kroo-men 'turn pale. Ilia pause was (Riau* bya Kroo-lx7 PitgißY-TF4RIAN--- .,. --BANNER, ,, --WELINESDAY, -.:JU1NE....15,...1.364. looking into- our faces and saying, ' Whitey man he cry when him broder die happy and go for toder place.' It is'difficult, and I may say impossible, to describe the sol. emn and impressive awe which pervaded the whole circle from the time the Bible was introduced. It made a lasting impres sin upon inyself, which was considerably increased in intensity when I subsequently learned that the Bible was the gift of a widowed mother to her. only child, on his parting with her at Liverpool, Often, months after,- when keeping my watch and walking the deck, that entire scene came before me; and my heart is now. but too anlious to testify how God bath mercifully dealt with my soul in conversion through this incident, and by the power: of his grace on these words—' God so loved the world that he gave his only beg9tten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, bat have everlasting'life' n In the Metropolitan flail, in Dublin, Rev.

Ghost may go up and down in my heart, for I want to know Jesus as mine.' When he went home, his mother said to his,eis ters, Let us sing two or three other hymns, and then Jesus is mine,' and then perhaps he will sing it too ;' so they sang several others, and the little fellow caroled away at the top of his voice, until they commenced 'Now r have found a Friend, Jesus is aline.' me lips again closed ; and in a Voice of craving sorrow, turning to his mamma, he said I All,, mamma, why do you ask me to sing that? I cannot sing it, for Jesus is not mine! When his father came home the evening and heard it, he said i 'Oh, it must be fancy in the child—a good night's sleep will wear it away, he is too young to know much of the reality of such things! So he went to . bed, and the next morning, when the father opened his door—what do you think he saw?

And, papa, will there' not be a prayer meeting on Friday 7' Yes, my . child!' Then, papa, will you not ask them to pray for me, that I may be able to sing, Jesus is mine,' for I have been looking for Jest*, but I cannot find him.; Jesus is not mine. His papa promised that he would have him prayed for. " Wednesday came, and Thursday, -and at last Friday; but he could not say, 'Je sus is mine and"amid the engagements of the day, the father actually•forgot his own child.

The great art in raising a flock of sheep is to secure for them sound, healthy constitutions; and next-to this it ii,important to get the largest amount of wool on a given surface. To accomplish these ends, care , is required in seleeting your breeding ewes. A judi cious fine-wool farmer will reject all long legged and bare.faced ewes, seleeting only short-legged, wool-to-the-toes, and wooly faced ewes, well built and "heavy pet" A ewe cannot be relied upon as a kind and good stickler before the age of thrie years; at the age of four years she may be con sidered in her prime, and her strong and vigorous - constitution is imparted to her progeny. The reason why we have so many ill.shaped, ap,d unDroductive flocks through- our entire country is the hap hazard, careless manner of too many of our farmers in selecting their breeding ewes ; they-have a certain number of ewes, year lings, two-year-olds, three, four, and indeed often up to twelve and fifteen-year-old ewes. The season arrives for "turning-in," and without any thought about his bust uess, the careless farmer expects to raise a flock of healthy, hearty, lambs, simply be cause he is following in the way:his father, went_before him. UPPER ST. CLAIR. The Hoe and How to Use imple ment upon the farm will be more useful than the hoe, during the present mouth. Much can be done with the cultivator, and wherever the crop and the nature of the ground will admit of it, horse labor should be substituted for hand labor. sln many places, however, the presence of atones :or other ebstructions, and rows of growing plants standing near together - , require the use of this.old-fashioned implement. Much labor can be saved by having the hoe of proper construction. It should be made of good steel properly tempered, that the edge may neither turn nor break, and not lie too heavy to be handled with facility. Any one who has attempted to work with the weighty; cumbersome contrivance common ly used upon Southern plantations; will prize the sharp light implement of North ern manufacture. The handle should be just large enough to grasp readily, and in serted into the blade at a convenient angle for working, or so that it maybe easily used for cutting weeds near the surface, and for drawing earth around a hill. It should always be kept bright, and •to - do this, care must be taken to wipe it clean and dry after working in wet soil: Every ‘ one knows the importance of using the hoe to keep weeds in subjection, but in too many eases this knowledgeis not made practical. Other things being equal, elean culture will give at the least, twenty per cent. better returns than when weeds are left to draw the nouriehment which should go to the crop.; .with corn this would make a difference of eight to ten bushels per acre - enough to pay well for several hoeings. Let - ,'`this fact stimulate the neglectful to keep the hoe hi:6y during this, weedy month. Another less obvious but equally important benefit conferred "by frequent use of the hoe, is keeping the surface of the'gr - eund loose. This is need ed for growing plants either in wet or: dry weather. In the former ease, the surplus moisture evaporates more rapidly;-` in the latter, the moisture from'below is attracted upward, and also the - warm at - mosphere be ing allowed to penetrate. the cooler soil, de posits the vapor contained in it. If cul ture be'needed after the roots have extended vier_ most of the ground, the hoe should be used very lightly sii,as not to disturb them, or more harm than good may .be done. Cold Grapery,--Preat care is required in' ventilation , to avoid sudden changes. The house should , be opened and olosed early; the time of doing this must be governed by the thermometer, which -may reach 85° to 90°, at mid-day. -The rise from, the night, temperature to should be grad 'ual. Daring blossoming discontinue water ing overhead. It is necessary to assist the .distribution-of pollen and-ensure fertilize 'tion by going over the house efery morn ing -and giving the bunches a shake with the finger. After the berries are .set,' syringe overhead to clean away the remains of the flowers. Give water freely. Leave one bunch of fruit .to a spur and pinch off the end of the shoot at the third or fourth leaf beyond the bunch. The number of bunehes left on the vine will depend upon its strength—with young - vines it is safe to remove the fruit from each alternate spur. when of the size of peas thin the berries One-half more or less according to variety. - Tie - up the side branokee,t4i the horizontal wires.. Pears,—Shorten. branches tending to make too much wood. Rub out superfluous , shoots. Thin the fruit, especially the large varieties. If slugs appear, sprinkle air slaked lime upon them from a ba g fas tened to a pole. Dwarfs set this Spring will be injured if they are allowed to bear. Birds,—Powder and lead, like other strong remedies should not be trusted in careless bands. Shoot sap suckers, and all birds of prey, but allow no indiscriminate "gunning." The more birds the fewer insects, and the better fruit crops. Budded Stocks, —The vigorous shoots which push from the buds arc very easily broken by winds, or even by their own weight, and should be carefully tied with bass ‘ bark to the stub of the stock left for this purpose. Remove suckers which start from any part of the stock. Keep down weeds. Roses.-Cut back the perpetuals es ,:soon` as they, have done blooming. Shake off. the rose-bugs early in the morning into a vessel of hot water. Onepound of whale oil soap to eight gallons of water is the best for slugs. In the absence of this, try strong•soft soap suds. Barns ought to be cleared out and put`in order for the crops soon to occupy them. Attend early to all repairs, that damage do not accrue to crops that the proper buildings should-shelter. Barn4ards.—Look out for the drainage of the yard.; if possible collect every drop of water that falls upon it, in a good cis tern, whieh can ,be pumped out, so that it will never waste anything by an overflow.
