ELLICOTT. A Critical and Grammatical Com
mentary on the Pastoral Epistles; with a
Revised Translation. By Rt. Rev. Chas.
J. Ellicott, D.D., Lord Bishop of Glouces
ter and Bristol. Andover: Warren F.
Draper. Bvo. pp. 265!* For sale by Smith
& English.
Every new work in exegesis put forth by
Bishop - Ellicott, is a real addition to our
apparatus of Scripture interpretation. The
great meagreness of the English language
in original works of truly scientific charac
ter in this branch of theology is now re
lieved, and Ellicott has contributed largely
to the choicest and most purely scientific
departments of this work. For critical acu
men, profound and comprehensive scholar
ship, luminous brevity, sound judgment,
and the best English good sense, joined
with thorough regard for the sacredness of
the text, he must be recognized as at the
head of English and American interpreters,
and as scarcely surpassed abroad. •r ,
Bishop ElliCott is not content even with
the high degree of merit which was recog
nized in his earliest books, but aims in each
separate undertaking at improvement. His
references to the great English theologians
of the seventeenth century, in the elucida
tion of the text and his researches into the
originals of ancient versions,' particularly
the Gothic. and Syriac, give special value
to his late commentaries. Great pains have
been bestowed by the author upon the re
vised , translation which is placed at the
close of the volume. While confessing the
unripeness of the times for the production,
of a new authorized English version of the
Scriptures, Bishop Ellicott earnestly urges
the necessity of preparing for such a work,
and speaks severely- of those who would
" cheat" their souls with the thought that
the errors of the present version " are either
insignificant or imaginary."
In the celebrated passage, 1 Tim. ill. 16,
Bishop Ellicott reads' 4.
BUTLER. St.. Paul in Rome. Lectures de
livered in the Legation of the United States
of America, in Rome. By Rev. C. M.
Butler, D.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical
History in the [Prot. Epis.] Divinity
School, Philadelphia. Philadelphia :
B. Lippincott & Co. 18mo. pp. 295.
This course of lectures was delivered to
a shifting congregation of tourists, with the
laudable purpose of connecting with their
sight-seeing, the noble personage of Paul,
and the great religious truths centering in
his name and especially in his relations to
Rollie. Commencing with the Epistle to
the Romans, the author exhibits the an
tagonism of the Popish pretensions and
Popish doctrine to the iacts and teachings
of this epistle; he then traces the history
of Paul's personal relations to the city, his
journey, and what led to it; his intercourse
with the Jews in Rome, his liberty to
preach in his own hired house; Caesar's
household; then spends four lectures on
Paul's position towards established cus
toms and institutions; gives a chapter to
Paul's second imprisonment, and closes
with a lecture on the claims of the Church
of Rome to sanctity, infallibility and
unity, designed as a reply to the positiim
taken by Archbishop Manning, in his
thronged Lenten and Advent sermons to
English and American hearer's in Rome.
Certainly it is matter of gratification
that testimony so explicit and undisguised
to the pure principles of the Gospel as
taught by Paul, could be borne under the
Very shadow of the Vatican, by the elo
quent and faithful representative of the
Protestant pulpit of our country. Added
to the interest the lectures gain from this
fact, is that of the abundant local illustra
tion - which the author is in circumstances
to give to his text, and which forms an at
tractive feature of the work. The picture,
drawn with scholarly f'ullness and finish, of
the internal condition, habits, sports, and
vices of imperial Rome, is one of great in
structiveness. But we regret to find Dr.
Butler denying to the Church with such em
phasis, reiteration, and absoluteness, any pro
per direct agency in overthrowing
establish
edivrongs in the State and society,very much
in the fashion of the Southern clergy before
the rebellionit is all altered with them now.
Christian prudence of course suggeits the
proper time for the exercise of such agency,
but when the church is universally power
ful, and, in fact, leads and gives laws to
civilization, her Pauls will not be found
entertaining such •lamentably inadequate
views of her duty and sphere of action as
r' Conservative" clergy may mistakenly
derive from the writings of her first. Paul.

This work, so overflowing with manifold
elements of interest and popularity, is now
complete. It is not possible fairly to cha
racterize the truly Christian flavor of geni
ality, raciness, and originality, which dis
tinguish it among books, as Dr. Beecher's
life was distinguished among lives. New
England, in her primitive freshness and
strength, is well represented here. Great
and important controversies on theological,
moral, and political arenas, now dying
out of memory, are here fought over again.
A noble nature, a heroic, stalwart, practical
Christianity, a far-seeing vision, enhanced by
the gift of a most happy temperament, a
vigorous and manly intellect, and a glow
ing imagination, here pass, before us, in
siting the reader- to imitation, and rebuking

One of the most valuable of late Thanks

and care, and without any mere efferves

the original seminal principle of our TJnion

the grand idea was eliminated as an entirely
novel political creation, distinct from any
previous known combinations, and with the
conscious rejection of those expedients in_
which rebels and rebel sympathizers pre
tend our union actually consists. "The
Union," says the preacher, " is the historic,
root of the nation: it is its organic life.
The Union is our country."

Unaccountably < this pamphlet has es

hearty welcome, and regret it was not more

,clusiveness of great principle characteriziug
its argument. Before the Ithiiriel .spear
of its logic, prejudice lOsea its disguise and
resumes its true defprmitj. 'the simple
_.„
positions maintained by the writer are thus
stated i his analysis : '
"The right <of individuals ..of any race,
subject to a well defined limitation, to in

consistency of a Democracy which excludes
them from citizenship for 'any other cause
than their inability to exercise the privi-,

tion. Conclusion. Applied to the situa
tion of the African race here, who, in ad
dition to the privilege from the exercise of
which they have, been debarred, have too
notable claims upon the gratikude of the
American people, whom policy, as well as
duty, should constrain to the performance
of an act of long-deferred justice."
THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
The entire length of the Atlantic tele
graph will be 2300 miles. There are seven
copper wires to form the conductor, so that
there are 16,000 miles of copper wire.
Every portion of this copper wire is,sub
jected to electrical tests, to ascertain its
quality for conduction before it is allowed
to be worked up. The next stage is to
coat these wires with eight successive coats
of the insulating material, equal to an,ag
arecrate length of 18,400 miles. This core
is next covered with jute, wound round it
from ten 'strands '
making 23,000 miles in
length, and each wire is covered separately
with five strands of tarred hemp, 135,000
miles of the latter'being, required, making
together an aggregate length of material
employed of 215,500 miles.

DIED, January 30th, 1865. TROUBLESOME
DEBT, ESQ., of the First Reformed Pres
byterian Church, Philadelphia, in the 67th
year of his age.
Mr. Debt belonged to an ancient and
wide-spread family, having a very extensive
acquaintance, so that, there were few peo
ple who had not more or less knowledge of
him. Persons of high rank, and even
members of royal families, are said to have
been his intimate companions. Yet, strange
to say, although his associates were so
highly respectable, and it is said that great
benefits were derived from him, he had
very few friends, and, indeed, may be said
to have been generally disliked by those
who were most familiar with him. Some
of his admirers have represented him as a
public blessing, but, with surprising incon
sistency and astonishing ingratitude, they
seem not to have desired his . company, and
were always glad to get rid of him. Little
Debt, Esq., Mr. Manageable Debt, and Mr.
Absolutely Intolerable-Debt, were all con
nected with Troublesome. Mr. Heavy
Burden, Mr. Hard Scraping, Mr. Con
stant Anxiety, Mt. Always Borrowing, and
Mr. Incubus, a deScendant of an old Roman
family, were also related to Mr. Debt,-and
it is believed that the Bickerings, the Quar
rellings, the Discords, and the: Strifes, so
extensively known in various congregations,
were his: offspring.. It may be mentioned,
as a remarkable coincidence, that on the
demise of Mr. Debt these. generally disap
peared, having gone to parts unknown.
Mr. Debt was strongly attached to the
First Reformed Presbyterian Church in
this city, and notwithstanding many efforts
were made to drive him away, he continued
in connection with it until the day of his
death. For a long period he occupied a
very prominent place in the affairs of the
corporation, and received from its members
a very large amount of interest. Such,
however, is the ingratitude of the world,
that only a few have appeared to regret
his removal.; and it must be confessed, that
though so long and intimately connected
with the First Reformed Presbyterian
Church, thnre did not seem to be the
slightest sorrow at his departure. Indeed,
it is reported that :his •death was the result
of a general conspiracy among the members,
of the congregation, and that as much as
$16,000 were paid to make away with him.
In this nefarious transaction most of the
meinbers of the congregation took part with
astonishing satisfaction, some giving even
as much as $2,500 for the destruction of
this venerable adherent to our church.
The heartlessness of the people was such,
that when it appeared that his death was
beyond a doubt, measures were taken to
commemorate the-event by a magnificent
soiree, which was held almost as soon as he
expired. •
Our debt is dead,.that dear old debt,
We ne'er shall see it more,
And we feel a great deal happier to-night,
Than we ever felt before.
NEIGHBORLY FEELING.
[We ire indebted to the Presbyterian
Witness, one of our valuable exchanges,
published at Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the
following sentiments, excelled in their po
litical soundness only by the' noble 'Chris
tian fraternity which they express.]
TO cultivate a friendly feeling with our
neighbors, irrespective of geograPhical
boundaiies,•' is at the m i me time a, sacred
duty and the soundest policy. That a 'man
is a Republican, or-a.'" Yankee," or a ,Oana-•
dian, or a Frenchman,,does not furnish the
slightest excuse for our hating him ,or
sneering at him, or dealing with him in, an
unneighborly way., We all profess to be
Christians, and, as sueh'we are bound to
hive - not only those who have given.us no
offence, - and done us no injury, but those
that despitefully use. us and persecute Us.
The rule that applies -to individuals extendS
in its application to communities. We have
no more: right: to hate a nation or a race
than to entertain the same feelings towards
every individual in detail.
- On the broad, high, and holy grounds of
Christian principle, then, we condemn the
,unfriendly and ungenerous tone assumed
by a section of the British A.inerican press
toward the United States, and sometimes
towards neighboring provinces. It is unfair
,and.unchristiii!' But taking lOwer ground,
vie are'curifident that it is bad policy. The
'United States are our nearest neighbors
`and ourhest customers. We gain nothing
and may lose a great deal by quarrelling
with them. To be sure, they, too, woulu
'lose; but that is poor fomfort for us. 6n,
•year of war with the States' would ruin
naillions'of pounds worth of our property,
and many of our bravest men would not
merely, have to face' death, but to die. It
may seem a luxury to taunt, to jeer, and
abuse, but the end of these things is often
very serious indeed—cities burned, fields
desolated, ships sunk, lives sacrificed. Fools
scatter fire-brands, arrows, and death; but
wise men may.try in vain to undo the mis
chief.
When readinc , the mutual eriminations,
and recrimination's of parties on each side
of the border, we recall Milton's splendid
moral appended to lus account of the
" Stygian Conneil:"—
" 0 shame to men ! Devil with devil damned
Firm concord holds; men only disagree
Of creatures rational, though under hope
Of heavenly, grace : and God proclaiming peace )
Yet live in hatred, enmity, and strife,
Among themselves, and levy cruel wars,
Wasting the earth each other to destroy;
As if (which might induce us to accord)
Man;had not hellish foes enow besides,
That day and night for his destruction wait."
Why is Canada, in its present troubles,
compelled to incur great expense in order
to enforce its own laws and preserve its
neutrality? Just because -a' large section
of the people delighted to read newspapers
that indulged in insults and abuse of the
United States, and because: reckless adven
turers .eame to believe that the Canadians
would protect them and, eyinpathise with
them in any attacks on their,-neighbors.
Thus a crop of "raiders," "pirates," 'i Fe
nians," and " Hibernians" have sprung up
along the border, threatening to involve two
great nations in all the horrors of a bloody
war. Newspaper writers are often cen
sured for the tone of their articles; but it
must be borne in mind that they generally
must, to a great extent, reflect the views and
tastes of their readers. The public at
large is therefore responsible for the char
acter of the press. Even the. New Yurk
Herald has , a public of its own and a pecu
liar public opinion to which it appeals and
panders, and by which it is supported.
The Canadians will have to pay pretty
dearly for the luxury of winking very hard
at the mad-cap pranks of George N. San
ders and his fellow-plotters. Not only must
the expense of calline , out the militia be
Az
borne, but trade and travel are interfered
' with; and the Reciprocity Treaty is in
great danger of beinabrogated. Gunboats
are to be placed on he lakes by the United
States Government, land this will make it
1
necessary for Britain to support a similar
and equal armament there; and Canada
will be called upon to .contribute her share.
As British Americans, we should culti
vate a friendly feeling towards the United 1
States—towards a people who speak our
language, who descend from the same an
cestry, who read the same books, and wor
ship the same Creator. As Nova Scotians,
we have done our share to irritate our
neighbors : let us undo the mischief as far
as Christian principle and manly sense or
honor demand. The-war between North
and South was preceded by years of bitter
bickerings and fierce paper fighting; let us
beware lest the wordy warfare here lead to
a like, dismal conclusion. Every right
thinking man would regard a war between
ourselves and the United States as the
greatest calamity that' could befall the world,
and everything tending in so disastrous a
direction should be promptly checked. Or
course, we should be just and courteous
towards the men who in distress seek refuge
among us. These men
' so-long as they re
spect our laws, must be protected at all
hazards. But it should be distinctly un
(ierstood that no protection is to be accorded
to men who aim at involving us in war,
and who recklessly disregard , our. laws.
We all sympathize deeply with the South
erners as brave and suffering brother-men;
but very many of us disappToVe of the
cause in which they are fighting and suffer
ing. They are secure under the ample
folds of the British flag so—long as they
respect our laws; but when they, or men
pretending to act for them, make our ter
ritory a "base of operations" against our
neighbors, they at'once convert sympathy
into contempt and indignation.
A MIGHTY MISCHIEF.
It has been a mighty mischief that reli
gion has been so often divorced from the
other modes and' ways of men. Men have
looked atit as something distinct and pecu
liar, having its own sphere and its own
powers, and not, as the foundation and fa
ther of all goodness and truth. The man
of God has been separated from the man of
science, the man of literature, the man of
politics, the man of business. The world
has helped the sepaption,-and so has the
church. A (weak and ignorant piety, a
strong and shrewd impiety, have done the
same work. The general• exercises of • the
intellect, the common charities of the heart,
the familiar proceedings of the life, have
been too frequently regarded as provinces
into whiCh religion has no ,right to pene
trate, or should only tome when invited,
and be treated as a guest, and not expected
to be honored as, a sovereign.
Hence literature, art, social life, worldly
engagements, have been treated as things
which`-godliness is to possess, and.though
apart from godliness, and not things which
it is to act and-,be seen. To borrow an ex
pressive illustration, the partnership -has
been dissolved:between religion and other
business., and thus it has come to a disas
trous bankruptcy. That it is so, is appa
rent from the fact, that there is a general
disposition to regard immoralities connect
ed with money matters in a different light
from other immoralities. The same stand
ard is not applied, the same - measure is not
meted out. There is more gentle treat,
Ment of the pecuniary sinner. ." It is only
the way of business" covers a multitude of
sins. A man, in• many circles, had better
defraud his creditors than 'deny a single
article of the popular creed, or violate a
single conventionalism'of respectable soda
ty.—Home _Evangelist.
CHRIST-IS; SUFFICIENT,
:You feed on. husks, dear friend, every
day you. stay away from Christ. Do you
want, to make y,ourself;, better before, you
come? Allthe fitness he requires, is to
feel your need of him.
Have youstrayed away like a lost sheep,
and squandered life's most golden hours?
Christ came to seek and to save that which
is lost. Are you such a great sinner that
you are afraid to come ? Then you are
just the - one. He says, "I came not to
call the righteous, but sinners to repent
ance." Caine then, come now. If you
wait until you are better, you will never
come at all. And
_there is more joy over
one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety
.
and nine just persons that need no repent
ance.
Dear friend come to Christ to-day.
A NEW FIRE EXTINGUISICER. —An apothe
cary at Nantes has just discovered, by the
merest accident, that ammonia will put out
fires. He happened to have about 70 litres
of benzine in his cellar, and his boy, in going
down carelessly with alight, had set fire to it.
Assistance was speedily at hand, and pail af
ter pail of water was beirig poured into the
cellar 'without producing any effect, when the
apothecary himself took up a pail which was
standing neglected- in a corner, and emptied
the, contents into the cellar. To his aston
iShinent,, the flames were quenched as if by
Magic, and upon examination, he found that
the pail, which belonged , to his laboratory,
had contained a quantity of liquid ammonia.
The result, is easy to , explain on scientific
principles; for ammonia, which consists of
82 parts of nitrogen and 18 of hydrogen, is
easily decomposed by heat; and the nitrogen
thus set free in the midst Oa conflagration
must infallibly, put out the flames. A large
supply of liquid ammonia properly adminis
tered would be the promptest fire extinguish
er ever imagined. - , ,
