AN HOUR AT THE OLD PLAY GROUND.
nv habby morfobd.
I sat an hour to-day, John,
I«sld« the old brook stream,
" vSF® we * er e school boys in the old time.
When manhood was a dream. •
Tl l® brook is choked with fallen leaves,
The pond is dried away—.
* Scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school-house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees;
The wild rose by the window side,
No more waves in the breeze;
The scattered stones look desolate,
The sod they rested on
Has boen ploughed up by stronger hands,
Since yon and I wore gone.
The chestnut tree is dead, John,
And what is sadder now—
The broken grape-vine of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough;
I read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow sido,
As we had piled them there.
Beneath the grass-grown bank, John,
1 looked for our old spring,
That babbled down the alder path,
Three paces from the swing;
The. rushes grow upon the brink,
The poet is black and bare,
And not a foot, this many a (lay,
It seems, has trodden there.
I table the old blind road, Johd,
That wandered up the bill;
’Tie darker than it used to he,- ,
And seems so lone and still I
The birds sing yet among the bonghs,
ffbere-ooce the sweet grapes hung/
But not a voice of human kind
Where all our voices rung.
I sat me on the fenae, John,
That lies as in old time,
The same half pannel in the path
We used so oft to climb-
And thought how o‘er the bars of life
Our playmates had passed on,
And left me oounting on this spot
The faoos that are gone.
LITTLE FOXES.
A happy holiday party had assembled one sum
mer afternoon at Nettie Bailey's house, and of all
plaefis you can imagine, the Bailey farm was the
most attractive for holding children’s levees.
Comfortable, wide, open apartments, furnished in
t||! good old-fashion ed style, and the Whole family,
fVom dear old grandma to the least, quite free,from
nervous complaints. A beautiful lawn encircled
the house, stately trees threw out their cool sha
dows, and one they called the ladder-tree, Which a
child Six years old could easily climb. But the
grand old barn, minus modern imprcncment was,
after all, the most irresi tiblc part of the establi h
roent, as had just been decided by a unamraou
vote of the party, in response to the question, what
shall we do first? ‘The barn, the barnl said
they, with one voice.
Grandma had been hissed by the whole cluster
of rose-bud lips, and she was looking on compla
cently from her arm chair A they were about
starting from the room, she said, ‘Pleasant and
happy as robins, all of you. Now don’t let the
little foxes catch any of you, darlings.’
A general sensation ensued, and exclamations
followed thick and fast. Two or three of the
smaller ones ran up to grandma’s chair for pro
tection.
‘ X ain’t afraid/ said Nettie j ‘ grandma’s got on
h# quizzical face; she don’t mean real foxes.’
‘Please tell us/ urged the children, crowding
up to listen.
‘ pan you wait long enough for grandma to
preach a little sermon V
‘Oh yes, indeed/ chimed in all the voices;
Sidraa’s talk was considered an extra treat with
young folks.
‘ Well, then, my. subject this afternoon isLlttle
Foxes, and my text you may find in the Book of
books, and what book is that, children V
‘The Bible.’
‘Yes, indeed, it is; end in the Song of Solomon
it says, second chapter, and fifteenth verse, ‘Take
US tj|e foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines;
for our vines have tender grapes.’ You all know
that foxes are very cunning little creatures; they
steal into the most tempting gardens and spoil
everything that comes in their way; it is just so
with heart foxes, creeping in to the loveliest charac
ters to mar <tnd spoil them. They even come some
times into a beautiful garden like this, (grandma
gave a look whioh they all understood,) and play
their naughty, ugly tricks.
‘Now it is a great thing to know these little
foxes when you see them, for they often wear
masks to hide their true faces. I’il call over a
few of their names. Fretfulness is a real fox, and
so is wilfulness, and jealousy and selfishness, and
fault-finding, and tattling. Oh, how they nip the
bhds and flowers; they sometimes come ,to parties
Vlththit ah invitation, .the saucy intruders—rand
•that.is the reason. I told you to look out for them
tbisafterho'ofl.—‘OrandtaahaSptfeachedhefSermoti,
Ond hoW you may run.’
After this timely warning, the foxes were un
usually wary, and for a good while there was
hardly a loop hole for them to creep through.
Swinging, jumping in the hay, keeping house in
the_ qribs, took the starch out of muslin frocks
and the onrl out of more than one head; hut the
more Clara Bioh shook hers about, the tighter
clung to it the brown ringlets. Clara was ,the
acknowledged beauty of all the parties, and she
had a good disposition to match.
White they were in the height of enjoyment,
George Bailey came up from the corn-field.^—He
stopped to, wash bis hands in the brook, and Was
ready to' 6ffer his service at swinging the girls.
Mary Bay and Clara were standing together, and
George asked Mary to take the first string. She
jumped in, leaving Clara, piqued at his imagined
partiality. She drew back, refusing to take the
next turn on the plea of not feeling well. Poor
Clara! she was bitten on the most sensitive spot
in her nature —self-esteem—by that miserable little
fox,, jealousy, and it smarted oruelly. Neither
coaxing nor pity did it any good, and she might
have suffered a long time had not grandma’s Warn
ing suddenly oome into her mind. She gave a
Bteady look at her tormentor, which sent him
sneaking off, and a hearty laugh made the pure
complete* Clare took her place in the swing and
a pinch* oia her rosy cheek with good grace, and
ran up to a group of girls who were discussing
rather warmly whether to play school or forfeits;
each party had a stiff will in the matter. -
(Shoo t shoo! shoo! I spy a little fox,’ cried
Clara, running around them; This opened their
eyes, and the old barn rang again.
George laughed, too; he had heard before of
grandma’s little foxes, and guessed what the joke
was.
There wasn’t much chance for any of the fox
tribe that afternoon, and it' is pretty likely
the girls will never forget grandma’s sermon. The
dear old lady did not question them abotjpt when
they came in to supper; she felt qUite®BUre, by
their happy faces, that there were no foxes about
them.
When tie old town-clock struck eight, and they
all came up for a good-night kiss from grandma,
one of the little rogues whispered under her cap
border that the little foxes came, but didn’t stay
long.
Grandma laughed and said she was now satis
fied.
BID JESUS SING?
At a gathering of ohildren on Christmas day,
a gentleman present related a very interesting in
cident:
A tittle girl, but three years of age, was very
curious to know why Christmas greens were so
much used, and what they were intended to signify.
So Mr, L, told her the story of the babe of Beth
lehem—-of the child whose name was Jesus.
The little questioner was just beginning to give
voice to tbh music that Was in her heart; and
after Mr. L. had concluded the narrative,, she
looked up-iH His face, arid asked, “Did Jesus sing?”
Who had ever thought of that? If you will
look at Matthew, twenty-sixth chapter and thir
tieth verso, you will there find almost conclusive
proof that Jesus sang with his dioiplcs.
Is not that encouragement for ns to sing—not
with the understanding only, but with the heart
also?
THE CAPTIVE TEXAN BOY.
My little friends, I will tell you a story of a
little boy who was stolen by, and lived with the
Indians, for nearly a year.
Away off on the frontier of Texas, there lives
a wild and savage tribe of Indians, known as the
Camanches. Sometimes small parties of them slip
down in the settlements for the purpose of stealing
horses and mules, and sometimes they murder
entire families, or perchance they may not kill
sorao of the younger ones, but carry them away
off to their wild homes and rear them up as ser
vants.
In the summer of 1859, two Camanches came
to the house of a Mr. 11., residing iu Mason Co.,
Texas, and after stealing his horses, discovered
his bright-eyed little boy, only ten years old, play
ing at some distance from the house. They ap
proached him slily, and having secured him, he
was tied on a horse. The little fellow cried for
help, but no one heard him, and away went the
Indians at full speed, carrying the little boy with
them. Towards night he - was missed. Search
was made, hut little Willie could not be found.
As soon as it was discovered that the horses were
also missing, it at once became apparent that the
Indians had stolen the animals, and carried off,
into captivity, with them, the dear little boy.
, Although the, savages were .warmly pursued,
they could.npt be overtaken, and the kind-hearted
people who had followed them, were compelled io
return.
The first day the Indians travelled seventy
i miles, and at night tied their little-prisoner hand
attd foot, to prevent his escape—but after that
night he was permitted to run loose, although.care
fully watched. He was then so fur from a habi
tation that he could not make his escape and reach
the settlement, without running great risk of
starving to death or being devoured by some wild
beast. At night he would think of saying his
prayers; and his fond mother, who had taught
him to say, “ Now I lay me down to sleep,” was
thought of. His eyes would fill with tears, his
little heart would almost break, to think that he
would never again behold her. Then he would
cry aloud, and keep it up until his nature was
exhausted, when he would fall asleep. When he
was hungry he was fed on raw horse-flesh, with
out bread, and when he was sleepy, instead of
having a nice bed upon which to Bleep, the cold
ground was .his bed and the' starry, heavens his
covering.
TYecks and months passed, and poor Willie had’
not been heard from, though morning, noon, and
night prayers were offered up by his distressed
parents for his safe return; yet it did seem as if
little hope could be entertained that he would
ever be seen again. But God,-who watches over,
and cafes, for every living creature, was the friend
of Willie, and so directed his feet as to.keep him
from harm until some way would be given him to
escape.
One Sabbath in April, after he had been given
up as dead, or lost forever, he suddenly appeared
at home; and throwing himself in his mother’s
arms, exclaimed “ Mother, God has sent me to
you." Had. he risen from the dead, he could not
have surprised or pleased his fond parents more.
I saw the father of this little boy a day or so since,
and as lie related the hardships of his little son
white he was with the Indians, the tears moist
ened his eheek, but when he told me how sur
prised and delighted he was when he first saw him
after his return, the old man could no longer con
trol himself, but cried like a child for joy.
Willie’s escape was effected in this way. He
was sold to some Mexicans for 8100; and bought
from them by Kit Carson, who kept him in his
own family, clothed him and fed him, until an
opportunity offered to send him home. Great
credit is due Mr. Carson for the kindness* shown
Willie, and T wish to place on record this acknow
ledgment of his goodness.
Exchange Paper.
A BAD HABIT FOR A MOTHER.
Mrs. Column used to say she could not see why
her children did not mind her better. She was
sure she did not drive them and make them obsti
nate in that way, and they had everything done
for them which could bo done, and yet they never
yielded cheerful obedience; and she looked wor
ried and anxious all the time. However, she
would have stoutly resented it if any one else had
ventured the opinion that they were not the best
children in the world, or had suggested a change
in her manner of governing them.
It was eight o’clock in the evening, and all the
little Columns were in the sitting room, when the
customary scene was commenced, which was re
peated with slight variations every evening.
“ Coine, Horace,” began the mother, addressing
her eldest boy, a child of ten years, “come, it is
bed time now —you had better put away your
books.” *
“ Oh M.cah’t go to bed now —I’m right in the
middle of a story, besides I ain’t going as long as
Carrie sits up.”
“Come, Carrie, you go too,” said the mother.
“You won’t feel like getting up in the morning.”
Carrie took no notice of her mother’s remark,
rat went bn crotcheting, and the mother busied
herself with the baby, who presently fell asleep in
her arms.
“There, Georgie, you’re sound- asleep on the
sofa; you must wake up now and go up stairs.”
No answer from Georgie. ,
Presently Mrs. Column rose and laid the baby
softly in the cradle. He had been very fretful
all day. She began to shake Georgie gently by
the shoulder, saying overand'over again, ‘‘Gome,
wake up, Georgie.”
“Be still!” vociferated the little fellow at
last.
“Sh! sh! don’t Wake up the baby,” said the
mother, but Georgie clamored, and presently the
baby joined in.
“ Dear me, what a noise,” said Horace; pettishly.
The mother jogged the cradle gently, and by the
time its refractory occupant Was quiet, the boy
upon the sofa was sound asleep again where ho
lay till past nine o’clock. At last the waking up
scene was recommenced, and the mother began to
coax her daughter to rock the cradle.
Ungraciously, at last she rose and began to jog
tbe'cradle, mattering something about the plague
of babies-
After some ten minutes of coaxing with “ Come
now, do, Georgie, come, please do,” reiterated for
the fortieth time, Master Georgie was half led and
half carried to bed. The two elder children went
when their mother did.
Every morning a similar seene was carried on
before breakfast to get the children np, and be
fore school to get them ready and started, and the
“come now,” and “please do,” were about as
effectual as in the previous cited instance, usually
resulting in the children’s doing as they pleased,
or being hired to do as their toother pleased.
Occasionally the tune was varied to, “ I wouldn’t,”
“ now, please don’t/’ when Master Horace pro
posed to go skating on the river, or riding a dan
gerous horse —or Georgie took the vases from the
mantel-piece-to fill his little wheelbarrow.
Poor Mrs. Column sighed and fretted and wor
ried, but never tried the simple remedy once re
commended to her, a little firm authority. Her
will was weak —the children’s. strong, and they
came off victors. There are many Mrs. Columns,
spoiling many families of children.

MARRIAGE AND LONG LIFE.
It has long been the opinion of those who paid
attention to the subject, that marriage in both
sexes is conducive to length of life; and a Euro
pean philosopher has lately >made observations
whioh render the fact indubitable. His researches,
together with what was previously known, give
the following remarkable results.—Ainong Unmar
ried men, at the ages of from thirty to forty-five,
the average number of deaths is only eighteen.
For fotfy-ohe bachelors who attain the age tff
forty, there are seventy-eight married-men who

do the same. As age advances, the difference
becomes more striking. At sixty, there are on y
twenty-two unmarried men alive, for mnety-eig
who have enjoyed the benefits of matrimony; at
seventy, the proportion between the bachelors and
married men is eleven of the former for wen j
seven of the latter; Bnd at eighty there are mne
married men for three single ones. The same rule
holds good in nearly the same proportions, with
regard to the other sex. Married women, at thoage
of a thirty, taking one with another, may expect to
live thirty-six years longer; while for the unmar
ried, the expectation of life is only thirty years and
a half. Of those who attain the ago of forty-five,
theta are seventy-two married women for fifty-two
old maids. These estimates, it must be understood,
are based on actual facts, by observing the differ
ence of longevity between equal numbers of indi
viduals in single and in married life.
“IS N’T IT WORSE FOB,A MAN,
FATHER?”
It is two years since I loft off the use of tobacco.
I only chewed a little, but I did enjoy my cigar.
I prided myself on my fine Havanas, and might
have been seen almost any morning with a cigar
in my mouth walking down Broadway in a most
comfortable manner.
The way it happened that I. left off is this: I
had a little son about six years of age. He almost
always hurried to be ready to walk down with me
as far as his school. His bright face and extend*
ed hand were .always welcome, and he bounded
aIQUg beside me, chatting, as such dear little fel
lows only can. The city has in it many dirty, un
fl-for boys, whose chief delight see.ms to
uppiecG3o£disearded,eigarsandbroken pipes,
with their hands in their pockets,, puff away
in, a very inelegant manner. One morning it
seemed as if little Edgar and .1 met a great many
of - these juvenile smokers. I became very much
disgusted, and pointed them out to little Edgar as
awftil warnings of youthful delinquency, talked
quite largely, and said the city authorities ought
to interfere and break it up. *
A little voice, soft and musical, came up to me
as. I 1 gave an extra puff from my superb Havana.
A bright little face was upturned, and the words,
“Is n’t it worse for a man, father?” came to my
ears. I looked down on the little fellow at my
side, when his timid eye fell, and the color mount
ed bn his boyish cheek, as if he feared he had said
something bold and unfitting. “Do you think it
is Worse for a man, Edgar?” I asked.
•“Please, father, boys would not want to smoke
and chew tobacco, if men didn't do it.”
Here was the answer. I threw away my cigar,
andiiave never touched tobacco since in any form.
And is it not worse fora man? Are we not
fearfully responsible? Are not the daily examples
of the rich, and the refined, and the good, telling
all the time upon these vagabond ohildren whom,
we blame and would turn over-to city authorities?
Am not I, for one; in a measure responsible -for.
the example I have been daily setting to these
wretched outcasts, these lonely and forlorn boys
whom I daily meet? The customary use of to
bacco as a stimulant is an evil/in whatever, form
tLe habit may be acquired. It leads to drinking,
and thus to other vices.. Can las a Christian
man, justify myself in the use of these, any more
than in the use of ardent spirits? Is not my ex
ample of some moment?
Parents, your ohildren see such things. They
think about them; and remember them; and if a
little one with an earnest tone. asks, “ Is it not
worse for a man, father ?” will you not heed his
voice? ‘Many things has God “ hid from the wise
and.prudent, and revealed them unto babes. Even
so, Father; for so it scemeth good in thy sight.”
American Messenger.
COINS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
BY JAMKS ROSS SNOWDEN,
Director of the United, States Mintj Philadelphta,
“And when he had agreed with the laborers for a
penny a day, hersent them into his vineyard Matt. xx.
32. .
A penny a day seemß a small compensation for
a laborer; but we have, in our previous article,
shown that the coin in question was not the pen
ny of the present day, but was a denarius, a silver,
coin, the intrinsic value of which was fifteen cents.
This gives one a better idea of the value of labor
at that time. And it shows that the good Sama
ritan was more liberal and generous than the usual
reading of the text would indicate. Luke, x. 35.
He gave the poor man that fell among thieves two
silver coins of the value of thirty cents. Wo have
Reason to believe that silver was at that period ten
times as valuable as it is at present; in other
tvords, thirty cents then would buy as much as
three dollars would now. It thus appears that
the Samaritan, besides the other valuable things,
wine and oil, which he bestowed upon the injured
man, gave the “host" money enough to pay the
boarding of bis guest for some time, perhaps for
several weeks, because this interesting event hap
pened iu the hill country of Judea, between
Jerusalem and Jericho, where the charges at the
inn were probably quite moderate. Thus-a liberal
provision was made for the intervening time which
would elapse before the benevolent man would re
turn from Jerusalem. And in case he should be
delayed in his return, he said to the inn-keeper,
“Take care of this man, and whatsoever thou
spendest more, when . T come again I will repay
thee.” This generous and neighborly conduct of
Itbe good Samaritan our Lord commends, with the
injunction, “Go thou and.do likewise.”—v. 37.
The. ointment with which Mary anointed our
■Saviour, is said to have been “ very costly,” John,
xii. 3, and “ very precious,” Mark, .xiv. 3. “Some
had indignation within themselves, and murmured
against her/’because her ointment might have
been sold for more than three hundred-, pence and
the money given to the poor, Mark, xiv. 4, 5.
The propriety of saying that it was very costly,
and very precious, appears very clearly when we
asertain that the price at which it was said it
might have beeu sold, was equal to forty-five dol
lars of our own money. Mary’s offering was
therefore a valuable one intrinsically; but much
-rabte sons she wrought a “good work,which is
spoken of throughout the whole world as a me
i*i¥ial” of her love and devotion' to: the Saviour
-fc-V. 9.
Again, when the five thousand persons were
miraculously fed, we are told that the disciples
aaked, “Shall we go and buy two hundred penny
worth of bread, and give them to eat?”—Mark,
vi. 37. The present value of a penny is about
ttyo-cents.* It would seem to be very unreasona
bly to talk of feeding such a multitude with four
hundred cents worth of bread. But when we
know that two hundred pence were equal-to thirty
dollars of our money, we can readily understand
how, with that sum, bread enough might have
been purchased not only to-enable “every one
of them to take a little,”—-John vi- 7; but if the
proportionate value is considered, the money would
have bought a loaf of bread for each one of the
great multitude that were assembled. The great
Master of the Feast, however, preferred, to -feed
them by his creative power, and thus the five barley
loaves,-and the two small fishes, were miraculously
increased; “and they did all.eat and were filled;
apd they took up twelve baskets of, the fragments.”
Mark vi. 42, 43.
It is difficult to determine with accuracy the re*
lativd value of money in different periods of the
world. The pieces of the same denomination,
coined at different times, greatly varied in weight
' and in fineness, or in the proportion of pure silver
to the alloy, of base metal used in the coinage.
The denarius of Tiberius weighed about sixty,
grains, and contained about ninety per cent, of
Silver, and ten per cent, of alloy, and was worth,
as we have seen, about fifteen cents; but as the
lloman Empire declined, the denarius was dimi
nished in weight and fineness, until at length it fell
to about the value of six cents. It was perhaps
ou tlie model of this reduced denarius that the
English penny was established. The. pound ster-

During a visit tade by Rev. Dr. Hodge, some
yedrs‘’srace,'to tha-Bahama Islands,'a Shower of

veiy rare at thosefelands; except during the rainy

On this occasion a little colored boy was caught

that was near, (its foliage, ■ however, was not
dense enough to Keep him from the rain, and he
was wet by the water trickling through the leaves.
Unfortunately for Lim, the bush was a poison-bush,

he was dead. -' j •*
After- the shower he was found and carried to

enterprise. Belles the sum of one thousand
dollars from Messrs. Harrison & Buckncll, and
one thousand dbllars from the Messrs. Pope, other
subscriptions of leading commercial men have
swelled the list: to 'between three thousand and
four thousand doffers. At this rate another day
will complete the; performance of a duty which'
the world demands of' our city, and a failure to
perform which mpst have been highly discredita

claimed, a place, jimong the liberal supporters of
this undertaking.' Others will doubtless be de
sirous to manifest: an equally intelligent recogni

be done must be quickly done, as every day’s delay

of the gallant adventurers who are soon to be on
theirway up the Greenland coast.

Beautiful Mirage.—Not long ago the atten
tion of the residents of Buffalo was attracted towards
the lake. The afternoon was hazy, and through
the vapory medium a very beautiful mirage was
seen. One of the local papers says: —“The Ca
nadian and Chatanque shores, on either side of the
bay, bathed in t)ie-soft dimness of the air, were
lifted up and blended with the sky, so-as-to- look
like some far-off,Hijiy land. At intervals, against
the hills, there "Was a shimmer of vertical rays,
whifeh gave the Appearance of. a bold columnar
front to tbe land, like the Giant’s Causeway of
Ireland. Out upon the sea line some dozen sail
of vessels were .setting in . toward the harbor.
Some of were within five or six
miles, assumed gigantic proportions, and could
scarcely be distinguished from huge, shapeless
masses of cloud..i Two, whose hulls were deep
below the horizon, carried, sheer above them, and
balanced airily upon the tip of their topgallants,
inverted duplicates of themselves; with mainsail
and jib all set, and hull lost in the drifting zone
of cloud that lay over the ■ lake. This glorious
vision continued for nearly an hour.”
Great Meteoric Shower. —A meteoric
shower which appears to have extended over the
.greater part pf Eastern, Ohio, fell on Tuesday, 15th
of May. In New Concord four stones, weighing
ftom forty to sixtjr pounds each, fell near the track
of the Central Ohio BMlfopd, burying* themselves
in the ground to 'the depth of about two feet. At
Clays ville stones,of the same qUalityj bu tin greater
quantities, felL I Nea¥ .M'thjnnellsyille several
boys observed a huge stone descend to the earth;
which they averrqd looked like a red ball, leaving
a line ofsmoke.inits wake. A gentleman walk
ing in his field, near New Concord, heard a terri
fio crash; like thnjoder, which lasted half a minute,»
and then plainly saw a large body descending
through the air ip an oblique direction, with a ve
locity apparently much greater, than it could Have
attained by its own momentum. Going to the
spot where it touched the ground, he found a rock,
weighing over s(> pounds, imbedded in the earth
a depth of- 2 febt. The stbnes were fonnd’ 6yhr
50 miles apart,and are all alike, being fragmentary,
as if just broken; of a bright gray 'color inside’;
with' a dark motillic surface, very compact and
heavy. 1 The neise of the t explosion waß heard
: pver four or five, counties, in come .places being
taken for thunder, in others shaking the ground'
like'«n earthquake, and at NewLC.QBCQUI eatising
such a violent concussion that; the houses-were
heavily jarred and-many of the doors, hurstcopea,
considerably frightening the people. The course
of the meteoric fragments was from north-west to
south-east. So unusual a meteoric shower will
attract much attention and investigation among
men of science.

concurrence and endorsement of the Genesee Synod, the
Genesee Evangelist, for ten years published at Rochester,
N. Y-, was united with-and merged in the American
Presbyterian, published at Philadelphia. The union oj
these papers has contributed greatly to- the circulation
influence, and usefulness of the united paver. Meas
ures have been taken to improve the paper, elevate its
religious tone and'character, and'render it every way

ANNA CL AYT ON; on the INQUIRER aitEr, TRUTH,
By the Rev. Francis M. Dimmick, of Cincinnati, O.
In-One Large 12mo. Volume. 427 pages. Brice, $1.25.
“In this volume, the opposing arguments to one or
two popular Baptist fictions, arts presented 'iir the style
of an interesting narrative and dialogue, ingeniously
arranged, and forcibly and,impressively.put The ar
guments for the pedo-baptist faith and' practice are
dearly and logically set forth, with ail the'charms of a
romance.: The story is attractive, ingenious and in
structive. It is just the book for general circulation,
and will be popular, and will prove a timely a&tidote
to the proselyting zeal of our Baptistfriends, and will
serve, to enlighten and settle wavering minds oi» this:
“ The arguments contained in this work were mainly
presented by the author, in a series of letters to a sister,
-designed to answer the positions.of the Baptist denomi
nation, and show that their doctrines are founded In
error.. The argument is interwoven with a story that
relieves itsabstraet, and what might be. otherwise to
many uninteresting characters, and will doubtless be
read where simply controversial works would not.”—
