Kirk. Songs for Social and Pablic Wor snip. Revised edition. Edited and com , piled by Rev. Edward N. Kirk, D. D. Boston: Henry Hoyt. Square, lOmo, pp. 296. The aim of the gifted editor of this work is unpretending enough. Ho says in the introduction : “ This volume is but one of many asking to be servicea ble to those to whom it may be adapted. It will be recognized as a condensed and sifted tune-boob, containing only the best airs of the larger volumes, to gether with a selection of the choicest hymns for family and social worship.” ,Tbe book is exceedingly neat and handy in shape. The revival hymns and tunes are, quite numerous. A good, though limited, selection of chants, and a num ber of additional hymns follow the tunes, which are almost entirely old favorites carefully gathered from aIL the various sources. The book, seems eminently adapted for purposes of social worship. TRtsroß. Ancient Egypt: Its Antiquities, Religion iSnd History, to the close of the Old Testament Period, by Rev. Geo. Tre / vor, M. A., Canon of York. American / Tract Society, Boston. 18mo, pp. 400. Reprinted from 'the London Religious Tract Society. This is a volume prepared with great care and learning, based upon the re cent discoveries and investigations in the monuments of Egypt, and having reference to the prominent theories urged by men of science, as to the age of the monuments, and the history of the remarkable people whom they so obscurely celebrate. The desperate ef forts made many years ago, and ret newed of late by Bunsen and his school, to discredit the Scripture chronology and history by the supposed, testimony of tho monuments, are examined and combatted; the volume being “ design ed to present the Christian reader with all that is really authentic in tho anti quities which are so studiously pressed againßt the claims of revelation.” We rejoice to see our Religious publishing Societies showing, by (he issue of such a book, their appreciation of the actual necessities of the times, in which new phases of unbelief, with far different supports than the superficial sneers of or the coarse blasphemy of Tom must be met. The book is a very suitable one. to be placed in the hands of that largo class of readers who are eager foi; information,and that have hitherto had 1 scarcely any but tainted sources of knowledge, upon these inter esting subjects. Tho amount of infor mation brought into a very moderate space is surprising. Tho illustrations are abundant and instructive. The typographical execution of the volume is admirable. Moffat. The Gospel among the Caffres; » Or the Story of Rev. Mr. Moffat and his Labors in South Africa. American Tract , Society, Boston. 18mo, pp. 284.

Wo are glad our so cieties are determined that the children of our generation shall not loso siglil of it or lack its quickening influences. Moffat's predecessors are also mention ed, and the story is brought down to Dr. Livingstone’s appearance on the stage. It is a captivating work for the young. MAGAZINES AND PAMPHLETS, The London Quarterly Review for April, 1864. New York: Leonard Scott A Co. Philadelphia : For sale by W. B. Zieber, Tho first article —The 'prospects of the Confederates —is written throughout from a southern point of view; expects noth ing but defeat for the north; exagge rates our difficulties; applauds southern character, and deliberately undertakes to writo down the idea that the African race will reap any benefit from the movement. The only portion of the ar ticle that can be accepted as just, is the severe judgment upon Gen, McClellan for frittering away his opportunities and for bis general timidity. The rebel victory at Chickamauga is spoken of as the “ noble work done by Generals Hood and Longstreet.” The only seri ous drawback to rebel success, which tho writer admits, is lack of horses ! Tho article on Pompeii is a resume 1 of all that is known of the history of this city and of the process of excavation. Article 111, The Empire of Mexico, after a view of the external character of the country and a brief sketch of the history of the people, enters upon the subject of the French occupation, to which it gives almost unqualified appro bation. “The work of regeneration,” says the writer, “ was left entirely for France to accomplish if she could." “ The Mexican people have now decided that & monarchy is best adapted to re store tranquility to their nnhapp-y coun try." “ A advance has now been made towards the final establishment of the principle of,monarchy in the new world. The undertaking of the Arch- Duke Maximilian is a noble one," Ac. This article might well have emanated from the same anti-republican pen which indited Art. I. IY. Sir William Napier. A recently published life of this general, the author of “ the Peninsular War,” is made the text for a full and deeply interesting sketch of his character and history. The destruction of Copenhagen by the bombardment of the British fleet, as de tailed in this article, parallels the pres ent remorseless war against the brave and heroic little kingdom by the hungry German legions. Y. Shakespeare and his Sonnets dis cusses the purpose of the poet in the composition of these most exquisite pro ductions, confessedly a very difficult problem in literary criticism. The sup position of the writer is, that they are designed to represent the character and experiences of the young Earl of South ampton, afriend of the poet and a “ brave comely, munificent nobleman, of nature’s own making.” Curious coincidences are traced upon this theory, between various passages in the Sonnets and in cidents in the Earl’s life, and not a few obscure passages are cleared up. A general estimate of Shakespeare’s character, ably written, concludes the article. YI. The Foreign Policy of England is written in a spirit of bitterness, the keynote of which is .given iri the sen tence ; “ The influence of England in the councils of Europe has passed away.” The bullying tone and wanton reprisals, which have marked recent transactions between the British Government and such weak nations as Brazil and Japan, are contrasted with the pusillanimity of her dealings with our government and towards the oppressors of Poland and Denmark. England is, without doubt, falling, in her own estimation, from the rank of a first-class power. It would seem, just at this moment, in view of the troubles in our own nation, and the changed attitude of Great Britain, that the hegemony of the civilized world was passing into the hands of the “ Latin race." YII. The Privy Council Judgment, is a careful inquiry into the exact bearing of the recent decisions in favour of the Essayists and Reviewers; in which it is contended that they do not bind the courts ecclesiastical by any absolutely heretical dictum, to the future mainten ance of deadly' error as to the inspira tion of tho word of God ; nor that by them does the Church of England allow her clergy to preach tho reprobated doctrine of Universalism ; but that an impetus has been given to opinion in the direction which must naturally lead to heresy.

The Crisis of Parties. Index. The article on Public (not free) Schools gives deeply interesting results of inquiries by Parliamentary commis sion into the condition of Eton, Win chester, Westminster, Charter House, Sc. Paul’s, Merchant Taylors’, Harrow, Rugby, and Shrewsbury Schools. From this inquiry it appears that the morals of the young men coming up from these schools to the universities has greatly improved of late, while their manners and minor morals are scarcely so good; their classical training is inferior to that of former years, seeming “ with the ma jority of public school boys, very little more than a name.’’ Turning off from the general results of the Commission, the article proceeds to discuss the pecu liarities of the celebrated Eton school as developed in the report. Here are, 800 scholars; but tho report shows that in the universities win a far less proportion of prizes and contribute far more than their share of ignorance to the general stock. Skill in athletic sports is a ground for much higher dis tinction and influence among the boys than intellectual superiority. Prizes for successful scholarship are not made public. The monitor system by which good scholarship was formerly awarded in Eton and still is in Rugby and Har row, has fallen into disuse. The teach ers appear to be overworked in order that the work of the scholars may be rendered easier. The lower school, however, is a scene of unmitigated labour; it being in evidence that the boys in summer would be almost always at work from seven in the morning until six in the evening. The taste for English literature has also declined at Eton. On the whole, the Eton boys go to the universities with unawakened minds and habits of mental indolence and inaccuracy, though they are 1 con sidered more intelligent than the boys from other schools and their conduct is very satisfactory. The Crisis of Parties is a violent Tory protest against the “mutiny," as it is called, ol Mr. Gladstone, who in a recent PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1864. speech, surprised both parties by sup porting an almost universal extension of the right of suffrage. He is angrily called the Cleon of the British Parlia ment.

THE CLAIMS OF LABOR, ' Labor is the power which rears the dwellings in which we live, the temples in which we worship, and every other triumph of architecture; which produces that infinite variety of food and rai ment, of luxuries and necessaries, iD which we revel; which achieves all the wonder of art and mechanism; which builds all the mighty fabrics which float upon river and sea; which accomplishes all those vast works of canal and rail way, daily bringing the various portions of tbe human family into closer prox imity, and strengthening the feeling of human brotherhood ; and indeodall that the eye beholds distinguishing civilized from savage life eomes from the hands of labor. Who that beholds our whole avenues of warehouses, stored with commodities from every part of the world, can con jecture the quantity of human labor required to fill depositories so nuvneroiis, and so vast? Who can conjecture tbe infinity of implements and machinery which were employed in the production of all these commodities, and the labor i b required to construct and use them ? But, what is far more interesting. to know, Av..o can tell what labors of tho body and the mind, what exertions of human strength, what efforts of human limbs, what practice and skilful motions of the arm and hand, and what move ments of human fingers, all directed by human intelligence and by the organs of the human senses,, go to the filling the magazines of commerce;and art? It is evident upon a slight examination that the quantity of human labor, the actual toil, the daily and annual ex penditure of human exei'tion which is employed in this vast production, yearly repeated, is far beyond our computation. We can only say it is ail/the work of human beings under thq sentence of labor. The claims of labor then, the great social question not only of our day, but of’all time to <jome, must be solved as a question off human well being, not as a question jot trade, or of industrial production, or of political economy. .It need not/ be feared that anything desirable, oj honorable, or grand in commerce, or/vast in produc tion, or of real value/ to the human family, can suffer or/ 00 lost by im proving the condition if those on whorur all production and j II couimeree de pends. The laborer/ who are belter fed, more comfortably clad and lodged, more suitably and fully educated, whose moral or religious (training has been more amply-and carefully attended to, will certainly be none tbe less efficient in their industry, and their contribu tions to the mass of commodities in trade will be none the less abundant. It is altogether more safe, then, as well as more philosophical and humane to promote the progress of industry and production, by increasing the comforts, the health, strength, intelligence, and general welfare of laborers, than by the indirect method of stimulating and en couraging commerce as a business or a profession. We need scarcely add, that regarded from the side of Christianity, there is no admissible mode of con sidering the subject but that which places hitman welfare as the chief cornfer-stone of every industrial edifice and the main element of all commercial prosperity. It is surely incumbent upon all intel ligent and influential Christians, and especially upon, all the ministers of Christ, to examine and understand, as far as practicable, the applications of Christianity to this greatest of men's interests in this world, —the interests of labor, the mutual claims and relations of laborers. There is no safe nor. final solution of the innumerable questions which arise in the great arena of in dustry, butthatwhich is found in Chris tianity. Ifo other doctrine, no other philosophy can' reach the depths of the subject. Inequalities of mind, of body, of physi cal strength, and'activity, .as well as the events of human life and the course of nature, all conspire to produce inequali ties' of wealth among men. - Such ine qualities being unavoidable are like the dissimilarities in the external appear ane'e.of men, undoubtedly in the order of Cod’s providence. The correction of this unequal distribution which arises from causes which cannot be changed, nor Wholly controlled, is left to Christi anityi acting upon human wisdom, and directing human affections, and shaping human institutions. Men variously en dowed accumulate unequally, but hav ing added field to field and heaped up treasures far beyond those by whom they are surrounded, these favored sons of fortune, as they are sometimes called, come under responsibilities proportioned to their acquisitions, and which they cannot avoid. The relations created by riches and poverty and by the unequal natural endowments of men are provided for in the Christian system by the du ties of charity, mercy,. protection, ad vice, and brotherly kindness, and the continual interchange of good offices. The man of business may enlarge his possessions, but in so doing he becomes the more specially a steward of Him who permits this unequal distribution of wealth, and as such bound to employ his riches in tbe best manner be can for the welfare of his fellow-men'. He that is rich; or wise, or powerful, or intelli gent, having received these advantages from ( the Great Giver of every gofed gift, is bojtnd to make tho best use of the lalepts thus committed to his charge. There rests, therefore, upon all who are able. 1 to render any useful service to their feliow-men, a religious duty in this re spect to be discharged to the utmost of their ability. To this obligation we ap peal for the benefit of all who live by their labor and especially of those who, not being able to retain the whole avails of their labor, live upon the wages of labor. But this appeal is not only made to all employers as to a question of wages between them and their laborers, it is made to all men of power, wealth, wisdom, and intelligence, to urge upon them their responsibilities in reference to the compensation which is due to those who give the toil of their lives to the Benefit of society. The problem for solution which arises out of tho condi tion of those who must labor for a living is not merely what relief is to be pro vided for those who, from vice, improvi dence, or accideht, are precipitated into pauperism, it is, What is the system of law or of speiety which shall best secure an adequate reward to labor? What will form the best barrier to inroads of poverty and destitution ?—Stephen Col well’s Pamphlet. INDIRECT RESULTS OP MISSIONS. The Philadelphia Ledger has the fol lowing account of an interesting case, illustrating the indirect influence of Christian missions upon pagan nations: About twenty 3'ears ago, a Mr. John H. Chandler went from the United States to Siam as a scientific mechanic, employed by a missionary society to found type for them to print the Bible in Siamese. He was a thorough Yankee in the universality of his power of adopting all his knowledge to practical uses. The King of Siam sent for Hr. Chandler, -who Boon established a ma chine-shop for the king, and sent for encyclopedias, and made models and gave instruction in the arts. A young nobleman of Siam, who is now the king's factotum in all of these matters, used to come to Mr. Chandler by night, and get him to illustrate and demon strate. The son, as the Prime Minister of Siam, has also largely enjoyed the instructions of Mr. Chandler, more es pecially in connection with steam power and its machinery, and is now doing much for bis country in introducing the use of steam. Such have been the la bors of one good man, not a minister, but a scientific mechanic. Now as to the results. There is a large iron steamer plying between Siam and Singapore, owned entirely by natives; another, also owned by natives, between Siam and China. A little time since the king sailed with quite a fleet of steamers on an excur sion. He contributed two hundred and forty dollars to build a Missionary Sem inary, and sent a present of a thousand dollars to the widow of a Missionary who had taught him English. He now employs a lady at a thousand dollars a year to teach his children English, and has established a mint, steam saw-mills, and has gilding in gold and silver per, formed in European"style.

PRESBYTERIAN PUBLICATION COMMITTEE, Chestnut street, Philadelphia. It is well known to tbe medical profession that IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELEMENT of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested, or if, from any cause whatever, the necessary quantity of iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the heart, will clog up tbe lungs, will stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and will send its disease-producing elements to all parts ofthe system, and everyone will suffer in whatever organ may be predisposed to disease. The great value of IRON AS A MEDICINE is well known and acknowledged by all medical men. The difficulty has been to obtain such & preparation of it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once with the blood. This point, Bays.
