"PILE REVIVAL MELODIST. A. Collection of
Choice Hymns and Tunes Especially
Adapted to Seasons of Deep Religious in- -
terest and For Use in the Family and Sab
bath-school. Edited and Compiled by
Edward Payson HaMmond. Boston:
Henry Hoyt.
The fact that near forty thousand of
this Hymn and Tune Book have been
sold during the few months since its
publication, shows that there have been
those who have appreciated its value.
It contains several interesting experi
ences from children and others, relating
how they were led to Jesus
We quote one from a little girl, eight
years of age. Such - words as these read
by thousands do - good :
" I pray as I walk in the street."
Thus writes a little girl of only nine
summers. Her, hitter illustrates Hymn
No. 22, the " Power of Prayer." Many
of those who use this little book will love
to join in singing these tunes; bat can
you say, with this little girl, " I pray
with my heart now?"
ROCHESTER, May, 7, 1863.
DEAR MR. HAMMOND :—/ think I have
found the dear Jesus. I find him so pre-
CiOUB. I love to read the Bible more than
ever I did, and I love to pray to the dear
Jesus and sing his praise. - I have "loved my
Saviour but two weeks. I pray as I walk in
the streets, and in school. Every morning,
after prayers, I go in my room and read a
chapter, and pick out the nice verses, and
pray, and I feel happy all the day. One
day I forgot to go into my room in the morn
ing, and I did not feel at all happy. In the
afternoon I saw what made me feel so bad;
then I went and prayed, and felt a great
deal better. I have not forgotten it since,
for I know how badly I should feel. I have
always prayed since I can remember, but it.
was more in word than it is now. I pray
with my heart. now. Mamma always came
into my room and prayed -with me in,the
morning; but I did not enjoy it half as
much as I do now, and I love tb talk about
the dear Jesus now. I ask you to pray for
me that I may work for Jesus, and bring
others to him, and kee l. , near him. I hope
that a great many more little children will
come and hear you, that you may tell them
the way to Jesus. Papa too has just become
a Christian, and we are all very happy. We
thank God for hisgoodness to us. Pray for
j
your little friend,jut nine years old."

over twenty nbtices, written with grace

the necessities of the limited space, con
veying not only . desirable information of
many prominent characters, but supply- ;
ing a stimulus to the faculties ofthe rea

•
must produce happy . results.
The typography of this and the pre•

The externals of the volume are high

LITERARY ITEMS,
The announcement of new books, or
other indications' of literary activity
are exceedingly scanty. It is believed
that there has not for many years been
so few new illustrated boooks announced
for Christmas as at this tiine. 'Ticknor
& Fields will issue a finely illustrated
edition of " Enoch Arden" which will
be published in elegant style for the
holidays. This is the only annpunce
ment of the kind we have seen.
The publication of Miss Warner's new
story, " Melbourne House," is postponed
till the 15th inst., in' order that it may
be issued simultaneously in London,
Leipsic, and New York.
Nothing daunted by the appear
ance of the great renovated Webster,
a philologist named N. Lavvrencelinds
ley, D. D., hailing from Lebanon, Tenn.,
has in preparation a new work in lexi
cography which is announced under the
original title of " Ah.Encyclicolexicon of
the English language." It is to appear
in quarto form.. We hope Dr. Lindsley
is a fortunate holder "of good oil-stocks
or has from other sources a supply of
means adequate to the great outlay
that Must be vainly undergone. He is
said to be a philologist of undoubted
ability Anong American announce
ments are Newman's " Apologia pro

VISIBLE SPEECH
Universal language has long been a
philosopher's. dream. Leibnitz believed
it possible, and did something toward
organizing it. 'Clearly, if only we could
establish a certain written sign for every
conceivable idea, with another class of
signs for the relations of ideas, the thing
would be done. And within certain
limits it is done already. Music .has
universal language; so has mathematics.

Rev. Dr. Selig, writing to The Luther
hn, from Zarietr, in Switzerland, where
he had spent a,Sabbath, says:
We went at 6i - o'clock in the evening,
to the English chapel, as it was announ
ced that a distinguished stranger was
to preach. That stranger turned out to
be , Bishop litellvaine, of, Ohio. I was
suprised when I saw him ascend the
pulpit; but it was
.a pledge that we ,
should have an evangelical, sermon,
which I have found to be, in general, a
scarce article in these Church of .Eng
land chapels. The Bishop announced
for his text the parable of the Unjust
Judge. He commenced by saying that
an examination of the Scriptures would
show that the subject of prayer was,
perhaps, one of the most largely • and ,
variedly treated, especially by Christ_
an d his apostles. The disciples"' had.
once asked the Saviour to teach them
ho-w to pray, and everything which
subsequently fell from the lips of Jesus
with reference to this point must be ac
cepted as his answer. It was also an
important inquiry. They had
, heeti
ought from their childhood to soy-pray
ers. The synagogues were well supplied
with excellent forms of devotion, with
which they had been familiar all their
lives. But, words are not prayers. When
these men came into close familiarity
with the life and spirit of Jesus, they
felt that their previous• knowledge of the
subject was all ignorance. They were
convinced of the existence of a higher
world of devotion and communion with
God than they had yet !earned how to
reach. So multitudes , now, who have
'their prayer books by . 'beart, and are
punctual, and , devout in their timely re
citations of them ,
have never rightly
learned to pray. Prayer is a heart-work
BISHOP M'ILVAINE ON PRAYER.
— a practical hungering and thirsting
which is even more than what some call
a habitual frame of devotion—a crying
unto God in spirit, with a sense of utter
misery without him, and a constant and
obedient dependence upon his mercy
andgoodness.
But what he wished to present was,
not so much the nature and importance
of prayer, as the necessity for importu
nity and perseverance in it. This, he
said, was the point of the parable. He
then portrayed the two characters;
first the Judge, then the widow—the un
hopefulness of her application, the prin
ciple upon which she succeeded, and the
wonderfulness of her-triumph , over the
most unfavorable circumstances. — lt
was her importunity, her perseverance,
her "continual comin4," which gained
her the victory with a supremely selfish
man. And if importunity could thus
succeed where everything was against
success, how triumphant must it be
where all the circumstances are the
most promising? God is not an unjust
Judge, but a kind and loving Father.
He is not shut up in his own selfishness,
but full, of tender sympathy and ever
anxious to administer graciously to the
suffering and the needy. And shall he
not give ear to the cries of his own
troubled children ? Even his seeming
delais are'lleal answers and benefactions
of his love to them that come earnestly
and perseveringly to him for his grace.
And should we not all avail ourselves
energetically of this assurance of our
'power: with God 7 This woman had an
adversary. •We each have an ritdiersa
ry. Tbe depravity of our own hearts is.
an adversary. The world is an adver
sary—a very anti-Ohrist,—not only in,
its more frivolous' affairs and fashions,
hut in its whole spirit, and 'in gall the
currents of its varied, motions and spec
ulations. We need, help against these
4dverparies ; and that help is to be
found only in earnest, importunate, per
prayer.. •
( The sermon ' was delivered without
notes, and the venerable, Bishop spoke
with, much tenderness and encourage,
ment to burdened consciences. The
discourse. was listened to with interest
by all, and 'doubtless also with profit.
There:i.s a .comfort and refreshing in a
good evangelical, sermon, which can he
found in nothing else. It is, the proper
food and drink for the soul.

CABINET ORGANS.
MASON di HAMLIN respectfully invite attention to the
fact that their CABINET ORGANS are, by the
written testimony of a MAJORITY OF THE MOST
EMINENT ORGANISTS AND MUSICIANSIN AMERI
CA, as well as a number of distinguished artists of
other countries, declared to be unequaled by any
similar instruments—" THE BEST OF THRIF.
CLASS;" also, that they have been invariably awarded
the fleet premiems at the numerous industrial fairs at
which their instruments have been exhibited. They
will be glad to send to any one desiring it an illustrated
catalogue of styles and prices, with a large amount o
this testimony.
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.
The high reputation of out CABINET ORGANS
has frequently induced dealers to represent that other
instruments are the same thing; that there is no
essential difference between the Cabinet Organs and
Organs with various names, made by other makers
Vila is not true. The excellences of our Cabinet
Organs, which have given them their high reputation,
are the result not merely of the superiority of their
workmanship, but also in large measure of essential.
differences of construction, which, being patented,
cannot, be employed by other makers. These ara
essential to their better quality and volume of tone and
unrivaled capacity of expression. When a dealer
represents another instrument as the same thing as
the oabi net Organ, it is usually an attempt to sell an
- inferior instrument on which he can make a larger
profit.
