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

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. More we *might say of our
associate's labor of love for the young,
but we forbear. Many copies have been
circulated in the army. Price, at , paper
covers, 20 cents.

ished, however, to find that-amid such a

REVIVALS AMONG CHILDREN. Report on
Revivals of Religion. Adopted by the
Suffolk County Sabbath-school Associa
tion, at West Hampton, December 13,
1864. 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.

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. MATTHEW HALE says :—" Converse
not with a liar, a swearer, nor a man of obscene
or wanton language ; for either it will corrupt
you, or at least it will hazard your reputation
to be of the like • making; and if it cloth
neither, yet it will fill.your memory with such
discourses that it will be troublesome to you
in after time ; and the returns of the remem
berance of the passages which you have long
since heard of this nature will haunt you when
your thoughts should be better employed."

TAE Pllllll l Oll l OIL COMBIY,
The attention of the entire community is new drawn
to the development of the new' source of national
wealth, Petroleurn. Many schemes are presenK and
the question is no longer. "Shall I invest?" but
" Where ehalll invest?" - Failures ;arise from injudi
cious selections of territory and bp& local mimage7.
ment. Wb ern these things are obviated, success must
follow.
This Company claims to have reached the &tilted,
end. 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. Failures
on Burning Springs Run are comparatively unknown,
and %ins proved itself, for its limited development,
superior to Oil Creek in Pennsylvania.
They make no allegations of the existence of BOGUS
companies but challenge the most scrutinising inquiry
into the character of their estates, and will furnish
prospectus, map, Ate., with any further information
desired to all parties.

Thelbliewing FACTS are pregefited for the eonsid
eraton of investors::— .
First, There are but two places where OIL in largely
remunerative quantities has ever been found: OIL
CREEK, in Pennsylvania, and BURNING SPRINGS
RUN, in West Virginia.
Second, ONE well-selected ACRE on Oil Creek is
worth as much as A HUNDRED ACRES on the Alle
gheny river.
Third, ONE aore on Burning Springs Run is worth
as much for oil territory, as athousanel acres elsewhere
in Virginia (as far as developments- have extended to
the presenttime.)
Fourth, The FAILURES on Oil Creek are as FIVE
to ONE success in wells sunk. '
Fifth, There is NOT ONE FUILURE known to have
occurred on Burning Springs Run, where the wells

pleasure to recommend it to the public. Some eight
years ago one of my daughters seemed to be in a de

tained. I then procured a bottle of your excellent
Balsam, and before she had taken the whole of the
contents of the. bottle there was a treat improvement
in her health. I have, in my individual case, made
frequent use ,of your valuable medicine, and have
always been_benefitted by it. JACOB SECHLER.
