NVitneo HURD dr HOTTOEXTOWS BOOKS KumAN. The History ;of the Jews, from the Earliest Period down to Modern Times. By Henry Hart Milman. D. D., Dean of St. Paul's. Reprinted from the newly revised,and corrected London Edition. In three vols. 12m0., laid tinted 'paper, pp. 509, 497, 479; with Index. Boston, Wm. Veazie; New York, _Hurd & Houghton; Philadelphia, F. A. Leypoldt. This is a substantial and elegant edi tion of a standard work, recently re written by the accomplished author. The style is flowing, the narration gra phic, and the story moves on in the grandeur which rightfully belongs to the subject. The national history is traced from the time of Abraham, through all the Old Testament, the Maccabean, and the Roman Eras ; and the fate of the people in their modern dispersion is fol lowed up so particularly, that one of the three volumes is given entirely to this part of the subject. In a compact and readable form, we have here all the im portant facts in the History of the Jews, and the Indexwhich is very full, fits it to serve as a Tork for reference. We regret to notice further evidence of what we believe has already been noticed, in regard• to the position of Dean Milman upon the question of inspiration; he goes with the Broad Church party, as represented by •Dean Stanley, the Bishop of London, and the Edinburgh Review. The body of his work, indeed, contains little that would arouse suspi cion; but his newly-written preface con cedes all the points claimed by this wing (not the extreme one) of the free-thinkers, over which the recent decision of the Privy Council throws its comprehensive protection. After the fashion of that presumptuous class, Dean Milman asserts of the writers of the Old Testament: "They had no knowledge on any subject but moral and religious truths to distin guish them from other men; were as fal lible as others on all questions of science, and even of history, extraneous to their religious teaching." Of course Dean Milman knows—he and his fellow doubters are too modest and too candid to assert anything as positively as this, and on such an important subject, with out demonstrative evidence. A little more reserved and more insinuating is smother paragraph of the preface, which teas thus : " The moral and religious truth, and this alone, I apprehend, is the Word of God contained in the Sacred Writings." Of course the two Deans, and those who think with them, are con scious of an inward ability—which cer tainly plain people are not--of distin guishing what is moral and what is reli gious, from what is not, in the Scriptures. Dean Milman, however, himself, in an other passage, admits the uncertainty of the process of elimination He saps : " How far the historian may venture, how far he may succeed in discovering the latent truth under this dazzling veil, must depend on his own sagacity and the peculiar character of the different records." We must of course feel grate ful for the very guarded admission he makes in reference to—he will not say miracles—but to signs, wonders, and powers, inexplicable, as far as he can discern, by any ordinary causes, or any fortuitous concurrence of circumstances. The force of miracles, he says, must di minish. Truly it has diminished in his mind, and in s.ll minds so unfortunate as to have fallen into the twilight of Broad Church indifferentism. Other minds ad mire, adore, and cry out with Thomas: My Lord and my God I or with the hea then centurion : Truly this was the on of God I or with the rind of the Jews: No man can do these miracles except God be with him. While Milman de clares : "Men believe in miracles because they are religious. I doubt their be coming religious through the belief in miracles ;" others prefer, even yet, to follow the example of Peter, who preached to unbelievers, "Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him:" prefer, even yet, to cite with Paul the witness which God bore to the great salvation, spoken by the Lord, " both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will ," or that word of the same apostle to those in Corinth inclined to question hiS authority: "Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you, in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds." It is also somewhat remarkable, that we find no clear indications that Dean - Millman regarded, with any special in terest, the golden thread of Providence hat runs through all the history - of this onderful people, more conspicuously han in the history of any other of 'our tace ; or that he marks with any special istinctness the fulfillment of prophecy in , the various epochs of their career, and in their present condition. The period of the history coinciding with the'rise of Christianity is treated almost as if there were no authentic Christian record of that era, or at any rate, almost as if Milman were as unconcerned in them as an unbelieving Jewish historian.. He says, vol. ii, p. 130, .of the crucifixion of Christ : We leave to the Christian his torian the description of this event and all its consequences,—inestimable in their importance to mankind, but which pro duced hardly any immediate effect on the affairs of the Jewish nation." Is Dean Milman, then, confessedly not a Christian historian With these serious drawbacks, the his ', tory remalns, inadequate, disappointing to bolievers in the intimate relations of Judaism and Christianity, far below THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1865 what should come from the pen of a high official in the Christian church, yet the most scholarly, elegant, valuable, and com plete History of the <lews in the English language. AUTUMN LEAVES. By Samuel Jackson Gardner. New York, Third & Houghton. 12m0., pp. 301. Extra cloth binding. A collection of brief essays, chiefly - in prose, of more 'than ordinary merit, marked by simplicity, pleasant vivacity, good sense, and sound judgment; these-lection and handling of the topics shows considerable ingenuity and invention ; yet there is no pretence or display, or straining after effect, in those extravagant expressions or unnatural inversions of style, not uncommon in modern essay writing. Most of the pieces would be quite interesting to very young readers, 'though without any affectation of juve nility. Much of the poetry is quite good, and the book may be classed among truly good books in an important sense of the word. The externals are of singular beauty and neatness. HOTOMUk. Manliness the True and the False., For Young Men and their Well wishers. By B. B. Hotchkin. Philadel phia Publication Committee, 18mo., pp. 95. Lessons of manliness are taught through the story of the diverse lives of two young men in New York city. The dramatic arrangement of the few inci dents keeps up the interest of the reader, and is calculated to give the book a po pularity which will greatly extend its usefulness.

Published by- the Association. This repert was ordered published, with a vote of thanks by the Association to Rev. ETHER WHITA.RER, pastor of Southold Presbyterian Church, ". and through him to the committee for the said report." It is a most seasonable topic, on which many minds are dwelling with profound interest. The subject is considered under the following divisions: 'want of revivals; possibility of revivals; desirableness of revivals ; duty of pre paration for revivals; conduct of a revival —all among children. Without aiming to be statistical, many interesting facts are stated, and the argument is forcible, encouraging, and well calculated to deepen the interest already felt in this important subject. BELIEVING, BUT NOT UNDERSTAND- • ING. " I will not believe anything but what I understand," said a self-confident young man in a hotel one day. "Nor will I," said another. "Neither will I," chimed in a third. " Gentlemen," said one well known to me, who was on a journey, and who sat close by, "do I understand you correctly, that you will not believe anything that you don't understand ?" "I will not,?' said one, and so said each one of the trio. . "Well," said the stranger, "in my ride this morning I saw some, geese in a field eating grass; do you believe that ?" ' " Certainly," said the three unbelievers. "I also saw pigs eating grass; do you believe that ?" " Of course," said the three. "And I also saw sheep and cows eat grass; do you believe that ?" " Of course," it was again replied. "Well, but grass which they had formerly eaten had, by digestion, turned to feathers on the backs of the geese, to bristles on the backs of the swine, to wool on the sheep, and on the cows it had turned to hair; do you believe that, gentlemen?" " Certainly," they replied. "Yes, you believe it, he rejoined, "but do you understand it ?" They were confounded, and silent, and evidently ashamed, as they well might be. BEWARE of the recoil of sinful negligences • we may break our necks over the orange-peel of our own throwing down. INTERESTING AGRICULTURAL FACTS, The Annual Report of the Commissioners of Agriculture for the year 1864 is just is sued. It shows that, notwithstanding the devastation and drains of the war, our agriculture during the year has been pros perous, the farmers of the country, with somewhat less than an average in amount, having stored in value, owing to its supe rior quality, a larger paying crop than . was ever before gathered. The crops of the year, as compared with those of 1863, are thus stated:— .1863...1864. Indian Corn 397,839.212 bush. 530,581,403 bush Wheat 173,677,928 , ' , 1'1. 160,695,823 Rye 19,989,325 " - 19,872,975 " Oats 170,129,864: " 176,690,064 " Barley 12,158,895 . " 10,716,378 " Buckwheat 15,786,122 " 18,700,540 Potatoes 98,965,198 " 96,256,888 . Hay 18,346,730 tons. 18,116,751 tons. Tobacco 163,353,082 lbs. 197,468,T29 lbs. The report announces that during the past year the distributions from the experi mental and propogating garden, under the care of this Department, have been con tinued, consisting principally of grapes, strawberries, and other . sukall fruits, The celebrated Yeddo grape, from japan, has been largely propagated and distributed into various localities, order to test its adaptability to soils and.climates. 'lt' is yet too early to decide as to its :'value. The demand for seeds has been greater than during any, previous year, and returns from those to whom they have been sent are most gratifying, not only as to the quality of the seeds, but in the introduction .of new and valuable varietiee. The. distribution of wheat in 1863 gave such general sags-- faction, and caused so much inquiry, that it was determined this year 'to extend its dissemination still further, and, accordingly, the Department imported several hundred bushels, which have been scattered through every loyal State. Very superior varieties of oats from Sweden, and other grainvhave been distributed. Of wheat and other grains there have been sent out over 38,000 bags, holding nearly a quart each, making over 1,000 bushels. The report also says that the introduction of sorghum and im phee, and the dissemination of the seed of these plants, by the Agricultural Depart ment, has been worth millions of dollars to the country, more especially to the Middle and Western States, where they are des tined to make a valuable and paying crop. The manufacture. of large quantities of beautiful sugar has proved that what was at first regarded as a doubtful experiment has become a fixed and important fact, and, although sugar may not be everywhere made, there is scarcely a State where large_ quantities of most excellent syrup are not .manufactured. The' seed of these plants has, however; so much deteriorated by hybridizing with our broom corn. that the. Commissioner has determined to procure fresh seeds from their native localities, and has; accordingly, sent an educated, intelli gent, and reliable person to China, with directions to purchase seed, and to ascertain minutely the method of making the sugar as practiced by the natives of that country. The manufacture of Sugar from the "sugar beet" is also attracting considerable' atten tion in some parts of the West, and it is hoped will prove successful and profitable. Upon this, point the report says:— " The manufacture of ,beet sugar, first introduced in France by the Emperor" N apoleon I, not sixty years ago, has become an immense business there and on other' parts of the Continent. The yield of beet sugar inlB6l..was 480,00 tons, being one sixth of all produced in the world, andime fourth 'as ran r ch as the cane sugar. The sugar product of the' world wag as follows: Cane sugar, 1,950;000 tons; beet sugar, 480,000 do.; palm sugar, 100,000 do.; maple sugar, 20,000 do.; making a total of 2,550,000 tons. Considering that we pay nearly 8100,000,000 _annually for foreign six*, and that this may be made frOm the beet t' less than half the present price of su r from the cane, it would seem to be the p rt of wisdom in the Government to encqur e it in some ." _direct form Reference is also made in the reirt to sheep . linsbandry, always one of the most important of agricultural pursuits, hich has recently assumed an increased,. use quence from the, great demand for wool n goods. The - Department is endeavoring obtain from the woolen manufacturers o the - "country definite information as to th quality and , quantity of wool consumed by' each, and the kind that is deemed most de sirable to increase; and the result of' this investigktion, when obtained, will be at . once published for the benefit of the farm ers, to whom, it is believed, it will be of so convincing, a nature as to cause a very 'arge increase of their flocks., with a correspond ing increase in the production of those ' qualitiei of wool most desired by maitufae tureis. 1 COMPOUND INTEREST GIVEN. . . .:, I know a rich merchant in St. Peters burg, who, at his own . cost, _sup rted a number of native missionaries in In ia, and gave like a prince to the cause o God ,it home. I asked him one day how he could do it? He replied, "When I served the devil, I did it on a large sea, e and. at princely expense, and when by , is grace Gail called me out of darkness, resolved Christ should have more than flid devil had had. But how' I , can give sofmch, you must ask of God, who enables m to give it. At my conversion I told the Lord his, cause should have a part of all that pay business brought mein, and every year since I .made Him that promise, it has bro)ight me in about the double that it did the'year before, so that I can and do double my gifts in his cause." How true what Bunyan said: "A man there was, some called him mad ; The more he cast away, the more he had." "There is," said God, "that giveth, and yet increaseth; and there is that with holdeth more than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty." God will be debtor to no one. He pays compound interest for .all that by faith is put into his bank. SIR.

They have one hundred and forty-six acres of land, in fee simple, and the entire working interest in six of the most valuable leases of the Rathbone Estate on:Burning Springe Rup, Wirt Comity, West Virginia; and an engineer of extended, experience in the devel opment of Petroleum as Superintendent. Their estates are all in the midst of wells that have been, and are,' producing large quantities of oil, and operations have already been commenced.
