Thissis one of 'the " books w'hich are
bookt4:" The ardor of hero-worship
blending with the deepest Christian
feeling inspires the author in his deline
ation of the great Apostle. We eatolt,
and are carried away with kis admira
tion. '‘Yet nothing is farther from the
author than extravagance or ioosenelis
of thought or expression. Everywhere t ,
are marks of the •idcist careful. and even
profound scholarship, such as almost;
every German =theologian possesses.
More than this; • there is a deep insight
into the meaning and relations of,Scrip-t
ture, a richness of evangelical feeling,'
and a quaint originality and'suggestive-!
ness that together make the volame a
real addition to our very rich literature
on the Apostle Paul. Dr. Howson—to
whose great work on the Life and Epis
tles of Paul,Besser acknowledges hinaself
indebtet--4ntroduces the work in a
commendatory iiotiee, he himself having
given the finishing touches to the trans
lotion. The topics of the chapters are:
The Chosen Vessel; The Pharisee; The
Persecutor; The Man of the Lord
Jesus; The aborer ; The Prisoner of
the Lord Jesus Christ; The Man of
of Faith ; The Man of Hope ; The Man
of Love.; The Man of the Church. ,
The paper, typography, and the
unique binding, which are English, give
the book an unusually elegant and sub
stantial appearance.

LONDON, May 14, 1864
The cloud of war which has been
threatening us so long, has, for :he
time, gone round and given England
and Earl Russell a little more leisure to
make hay. Every one was surprised
on Monday night, when it was an
nounced that an armistice had been
agreed to in the Conference, since the
general anticipation was that its Monday
meeting would be the last. It was un
doubtedly a great triumph for the
Governmentyand has made it an almost
impossible thing to attack them. For
Denmark—the - party most interested in
the matter—what is it'. Only ayause
in disintegration—scarcely a checking
of the Prussian hounds,who are tearing

indisposition. But the 'veteran is not.
yet ready to quit the active arena in
which' he has apreised so long his
xemarkable : and versatile talents, and,
,so far as I . ,,can learn, be proposes, to
hold his position until the close of this
session, when he will retire and give
Mr.Gladston e an opportunity for the pre
miership. 31r. G:ladstone'a pre-eminent
ability entitles him to the highest office
on the liberal side, but his occasional
want of tact, and tie peculiarity of his
genius which sets hire far in advance of
ordinary practical minds in all his views
and feelings, besides the disadvantage
of being unable to control his•temper,
are very heavy obstacles to his eleva
tion to the leadership of the Liberal
Party,. He is:th.e . most shining genius
in English politics—the ablest, and,
believe, in the main,.the - soundest and
truest politician. He is one of the few
statesmen who have consciences and let
them speak in public affairs. He fore
sees, too, the inevitable march of cer
tain principles—that march for instance
which Dr. Tocqueville noted and fore
told—the democracy rising in know
ledge and pressing to power. His very
brilliant speech the other night, which
was listened to with an almost painful
attention, and which excited the House
of Commons to the highest pitch, recog-
ing • the people to that government
which they will and must proceed to
acquire "through the door or in at'the
breach," as Macaulay said.
Archbishop Cullen, in Dublin, gives
voice to the Boorish rabies at the
Garibalddi reception, but nobody cares.
These Romish people in England ought
to keep quiet for. their own good. The
monks of the order of St. Benedict—
which professes to be an English Church
organization—conaing out of 'their
church at Norwich, on Friday week,
were so roughly hustled by the mob
that one " had to biJ assisted" to the
monastery.
There was a gre gathering of robed
ecclesiastics on Trsday, at Lambeth
Palace, to present the now celebrated
Oxford Declaration to the Archbishop
of Canterbury. The readers of these
letters will know how much the declara- .
tiou contains, and how little it is likely
to accomplish in the way of purifying
the Church. God grant that the leaven
of true gospel religion yet left may soon
leaven the whole lump.
That unfortunate Presbytery of
Strathbogie is before the world again.
It was proposed to insert a minute in
the Presbytery records about the good
ness of the late Duchess of Gordon.
Two rank Caledonian disciplinists did
not see why a duchess shonid be
especially noticed any more than the
humble donor of a widows mite, and
further objected that so 0 could scarce
" approVe of much of her later religious
policy—for instance in connection with
lay preaching, large gatherings similar to
American camp meetings, and other prac
tices inconsistent with the order and prin
ciples of the church, and very injurious to
the interests of true religion !" These
worthy Strathbogie brethren seeth to
be very far from the centre of modern
religious zeal. and effort, and terribly
shut up to some very old-fashioned
ideas. The Assembly should send
them all on a journey to America.
I think they would come back with
broader vii vs. The motion was carried
and subsequently another to strike out
the amendment. The debate was most
excited and the conduct of members
extraordinary. Nearly the whole Pres
bytery was at one time ou its feet.
These scenes are not ludicrous hut
monstrous and sad, and sternly admoni
tory to other Christian assembliea.

STEAM BOILER EXPLOSIVS.
Much has been written upon this im
portant subject, and very Many theories
advanced to account for the fearful en
ergy and destructive force of steam
boiler explosions. The writer has em
braced every opportunity of examining
into all cases which have come under
his observation • for
is •- - 1.176 - 111.• st case of what
• .. I. .1 •
plosion, or when it was necessary to re-
On to the electrical spheroidal, or any
other hypothesis to account for the dis
aster. But in. every Instance mechani•
Cal defects have been apparent, which
to the writer were abundantly sufficient
for the fracture of.the boilers; On ac
count of the recent fearful calamities in
this city which have been incident upon
explosions, steaMboilers are beinglook
ed upon as dreadful monsters, which at
any moment may bring destruction
upon all within the reach of projected
fragments and seething contents. While
this is no doubt the case with many
boiler's, which were originally impro
perly constructed, proportioned or stay
ed;
or which were not provided with
safety valves of sufficient dimensions or
the necessary Means of indicating • the
pressure of steam, and the condition of
the boiler within them, or where they
are improperly set or connected; still
where these defects are guarded against,
and the boiler is not altered in shape so
as to weaken it, and in other respects is
in good condition, steam boilers may be
said to be perfectly safe. Many explo
sions which have come within the in
spection of the writer, have shown the
boilers to be so defective that it appear-
ed almost miraculous that the ruptures
did not occur with even less pressure
than they sustained.
The following suggestions are offered
as the results of considerable experience
in constructing, managing and inspect
ing boilers.
First. Let your boilers be as simple
in their form as the space and purposes
to which you apply them will admit.
Second. See that iron of the proper
strength and quality is used in their
co r , struction,
Third. Do not have the cheapest man
to build your boilers. Good material
:is often injured by careless working.
(Lot me here remark that in this city
there is probably not one shop where
boiler-making is made a specialty..
Some have been in existence; but steam
boilers have not been looked upon as of
sufficient importance to encourage such
establishments, and most, if not all,
have ceased to be. This, perhaps, will
account for the fact that there Ire pro
portionately more steam boiler"' explo
sions here, where the maximum pressure
of steam used is but eighty pounds per
square inch, thanwest of the Alleghe
nies, where,many boiler-making estab
lishments are found, and the boilers are
subjected to a pressure of from one.
hundred pounds to one hundred and
-twenty pounds to the square inch.) Im
proper fitting, excessive drifting, and
careless staying materially weaken a
boiler.
Fourth. ,See that the boilers are pro
vided with suitable safety-valves; (these
important appendages are frequently
very carelessly-made, being mostly the
work of apprentices,); a steam-gauge
should also be added, and gauge-cochE
of simple coßSytiction ; a glass water.
gauge is ilsb 'an additional •safety.
Where more than on ael:4)Di 1er4.4.1V
used, back-pressure valves should, be
placed in the feed connections of each
boiler. Fusible plugs, low water-alarm
whistles, etc., are also useful, but not in
. dispensable_
Fifth. See that the boilers are pro
perly set and- connected with the en
gines, •and-with suitable feed pumps or
injectors.
;• Sixth. Nrkice particularly that the
1 boilers andfuppendages are kept in good
lorder; have them frequently examined
and tested. The boiler should not be
used from .year to year without thor
oughly inspecting it inside and outside.
See that the sheets are not- corroded or
out of shape. Do not be afraid to tear
•.the brick work down to' enable you to
'make a careful outside inspection, or of
ioSing a few days' time, so. as to allow
. ty - Ourlioilersl4 be entered and examined
idaternally. The perfectly sound condi
tion of one plate or part of a boiler, is
ale evidence cif•its condition throughout:
Do not- trust these things -entirely to
.others, but seezthat they are attended to
peraonally.
Beyenth. Procure 'a 'careful, sober
engineer or firetuannot the cheapest
hand offered—but be willing to pay for
a good, careful man, and, if possible,
one Who never touches - 110ot. -
With the above preqautions'yen need
be no more irr :dread of lbeinv:injured
yourself or injuring others with your
steam boiler
.than, were it a- milldam.
like a mill-dam, a simple
reservoir of power, which if properly
made, kept, in repair and used,- need not
be feared. Look upon it in, this light,
withoUt - troubling yourself - abortt the
numerous hypotheses which have been
suggested to account for this phenome
non. It is a plain,common sense affair,
and should be dealt with in the same
manner as you would treat the break
ing of a mill-dam; and when an explo
sion occurs. shut out all: theories, and
seek simply facts, and you will find lit
tle difficulty in. accounting for it in some
of the ways mentioned aboye, viz ; bad
material, improper proportions, careless
workmanship, imperfect fittings, wrong
connections, reckless management or

It is well known the medical profession that IRON
is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELEMENT of the
blood. This is derived chivtiv from the food we eat; but
if the food is not properly oigesto,l, or if, from any came
whatever, the necessary q..iMmy of iron is not taken into
. the circulation, or becomes :::oueed, the whole systeM
suffers: The bad blood v iii :rritate the heart, wid clog
op :the lungs, will stupefy ..he brain, will obstruct the
liver, and will send its disease producing elements to all
parts of the system, and every one will suffer in whatever
organ mny be predisposed t bsease.
The great value of
IRON AS A NiIt:iDICINP,
is well known and dektleWledg,,i by all medical • ttien.-
The'diftioulty has been to obtain such a preparation of
it as will enter the circulation and assimilate et once with
the blood. This point, says or. Mays, Massachusetts
State Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian Syrup,
