Those who have feared that author
ship was being overdone by this popular
and fertile writer, will note with pleasure
that her present venture is more in the
line of literary recreation than a fresh tax
upon her inventive faculties. We follow
her with corresponding refreshment, as her
sweet discourse flows on from place to place
and scene to scene of sacred interest, listen
ing to her wise and often far-reaching sug
gestions, and catching views beyond the
horizon of the natural vision. It is a de
lightful and profitable volume, and proves
the writer to be capable of interesting quite
as much when closely_ confined to facts, as
when largely under the guidance of the
imagination.. The externals of the volume.
engravings, etc., are quite as attractive.
RIIPPANER. Hypodermic Injections in the
Treatment -of Neuralgia, Rheumatism,
Gout, and other diseases. By Antoine
Ruppaner, M. D. Boston: T. 0. H. P.
Jaurnham.,
Co.
pp. 160. Phila. :J.
B. Lipilineott & Co.
This little work upon Hypodermic InjeC.-
tions in Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, and
other diseases, is fairly written and gives
with the oases appended, much valuable in
formation. It is not, like many works
upon a rare and almost new _ subject, so
highly drawn as to throw discredit upon
itself, but states plainly what has and can
be done by this mode of medication. It is
well worth a careful, perusal. There is no
doubt but many nervous diseases which
have resisted - the usual mode of treatment
will be greatly benefitted by this.
ARTHUR. Home Heroes,Saints and Martyrs.

edges, gilt top.
Touching, truthful, wholesome stories are
these of men and women whose like has
everywhere been seen, and yet hoW rarely
described with the faithfulness, simplicity
and admirable, practical aims of the author.
No one can read them without having his
best feelings stirred, and, without yielding
his conscience in some degree to their
quickening and moulding influence.

LITERARY ITEMS.
AMERICAN.
A severe criticism appears in the Nation
of the last volume of Appleton's Annual
Cyclopedia, exposing a great degree of
slovenliness, both in the typographical exe
cution and in the statements themselves_ of
the work. It will not do for publishers to
cover with their reputations such careless
ness, in works designed and received by the
public, as accurate and trustworthy guides
in matters of fact.

PRESBYTERIAN.
WORK AMONG THE CRILDREN.—We take
the following paragraph from the Narrative of
the. State of Religion, made out by the Synod
of Allegheny at its late meeting in Erie, Pa.:
"And among all the facts reported by the
Presbyteries, none are more pleasing than
those which speak of encouraging results
from labors among children. ' Many of those
received to the communion of the saints by
profession of faith, have been from these
nurseries of the church.' In one case (But
ler) some forty souls were added to the com
munion of the church, and most of these
were children and youth from the Sabbath
schools and Bible-classes—some interesting
cases of children from ten to twelve years of
age. In another case, (the Orphan Asylum
located in Allegheny City), `, the minds of
guite a nuinber of the children hive been
impressed with the importance of eternal
things, and several of them have obtained
the hope of pardon through Christ.' "
THE SOUTHERN CHURCH_ TO BE MAIN
PAINED. —Theiellowing. ia ,, thelist of a series
of resolutions, sulniiitted . -by. Dr. lidge, of
Richniond, and unanimously adopted by the
Synod - of Virginia at its late meeting in
Lynchburg Inasmuch as the Presbyterian
Church in the Southern States has had for
several years a separate and distinct organiza
tion, with all the ordinary agencies for, carry
ing out the great work of evangelization;
and, whereas, in the midst of extraordinary
difficulties, the work has been .prosecuted
with encouraging success through the bless
ing of the great Head of the Church, we feel
it incumbent on us'to maintain our ecclesias
tical lines unbroken, and to go forward in the
path to which the Providence of God ,has
summoned us, and with quickened zeal and
more earnest efforts to devote ourselves to the
"upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ on the
vast field committed to our care."
MORE ECCLESIASTICAL' FRATERNIZATION.
—At the recent meeting of' the Old School
Synod of St. Paul, - Minnesota, a friendly
letter was addressed to the Synod of .Minne
soca- (New School) in session at Chatfield*
To this letter a kind response was received,
suggesting that the two Synods meet next
year at Stillwater, and that each now appoint
a delegate to attend, the meeting of the other.
The invitation was accepted, and arrange
ment's made accordingly.
TEE GOOD- , WORK' SPREADING.—Says the
Presbyterian's report of the late meeting of
the Presbytery at Northuraberland, at Lock
Haven, Pa.:—" The Presbytery had'a more
than usually interesting meeting, ai the sub
ject of revival and our need of the outpouring
of the Spirit on all our ghurches, was dis
cussed, with, more feeling: and deeper interest
than usual, which seemed to promise great
things,y as it appeared -as though the Lord
had pemmenced his work already in the
hearts of' the ministers and elders."
PROSPECT OP A DIVISION IN . KENTUea.x.
—Week before last in the O. S. Synod'of
Kentucky, Dr. R. J. Breckinridge , moved
that the members of the Louisville Presby
tery be excluded ; from the Synod.. The
_mo
tion was based upon the allegation that the
action of the majority of the Louisyille.Pres
bytery, by endorsing and adopting a paper
styled 'Declaration and. Testimony,,'. assumed
such a - state of- "Open , rebellion' against the
Church, and open ,contempt and .defiance of
her scriptural authority, and contempt, f her
faith, order, and acts, as to render each and
every one of' them unqualified, unfit,,and-in
competent to sit and act as a member of this
or any other court of the Presbyterititi Church.
Dr. Breckinridge said that either he or the
author of that document must go out of the ,
Synod. After several days' discussion, the
Synod voted: down, the motion by a vote of
102 against 25-Inon-committal 7.

mvages ,of••intemperance around them,'' a n d
also "requesting bspecially the merchants to

in the business world."
TAR WORLD DOES MOVE. —The Watch
man and Reflector, noticing the unanimous
and very earnest call of Rev. Charles Howard
Malcom to his old church in Wheeling, West
Virginia, says :—" Our readers will remember
that Mr. Malcom was ejected from the pasto
rate of that church about eight years ago, by
the Southern Baptist Home Mission Society,
upon the written charge of `refusing to preach
the Gospel of Christ in harmony with South
ern institutions;' the exact nature of his
offence being that he persisted, contrary to
the law of the State, in teaching colored
children to read. This instruction was given
in the Sabbath.school of Mr. Malcom's
church, and the only text book used was the
Bible ; but even this was deemed too much to
smack of abolitionism. Now, hOwever, after
a few brief years, a great change has taken
place in state and church. West Virginia
has becotni a free •State,• and Wheeling its
capitol; and the Baptist Church there, hav
ing passed froixithe supervision of the South
ern society, now calls its -former pastor back
to hislace.p We have not heard whether
Mr. Malcom accepts the invitation."

MEssas. Haaartqa & Co.—Gentlemen:—Though the.
destruction of the American Museum has, proved a
serious, loss to myself and the, üblic, I ain • happy to
'verify the old adage that " It's an ill wind that blows
nobody anv good," and- consequently congratulate
you that.your , well-known SAFES have again demon
strated their sdperior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal
of unusual severity. The Safe you made for-me some
timer ago was in :the office of the Museum, on the
.second floor, back part of the and in the
hottest 'of the fire. After twenty four Hours of trial
it was found; among_the debriseimd,on opening it.this
day has yielded up its contents - in very good order.
Books, "papers, policies of insurance; bank bills are
'all in condition for immediate use, and a noble com
mentary on, the trustworthiness of HERRING'S Pram

`The, "piery Ordeal Trinuippiantly.
The Herring Safe used in the office of our ware
houses, destroyed by the disastrous fire on the night
of the Bth instant; was subjected to as intense heat as
probably any safe will ever be subjected in any fire—
so intense_that the brass knobs and the mountings of
the exterior of same were melted off, and thawhole
surface scaled and blistered as if it had been in a fur
nace, and yet when opened, the contents—books and
papers—were found to be entire and uninjured.
This Safe is now on exhibition in our wari3house on
-Seventh Street, with the books and papers still re
maining in it,' just as •it was when taken from the
ruins. % Merchants, Bankers; 'and others interested in
the protection` of their books and papers are invited
to call and

Ihave known the Illustrated Domestic Bible for
some time. The Editor has rendered an eminent ser
vice to the Church of God by the learning and wisdom
which he has diplayed in preparing this condense&
and really useful commentary on the Word of God.
In terseness'and comprehensive style, he resembles.
the venerable Brown, of Haddington, while in rich.
experimental matter, he displays athorough evangel
' ical spirit. His illustrations are numerous and admi
-rable in their character. Instead of being mere im
aginaryaroups ofpersons. or supposed representation
of events, they are views of places, houses, and im
portant localities, or pictures-of actual trees, animals,
implements,, and objects of oriental character, and
hence they materially aid the untravelled reader in
understanding the phraseology Of the Sacred Text.
The chronological order, other tables, and the literary
matter compiled from modern sources of research of
this edition have enriched it abundantly, and the pur
chaser will have an elegant volume for a sum= much:
less than he, would be obliged to pay, for a .
procured by the protracted process of . montlilY 'um
bers to be afterwards bound. ' -
