William Aitchison, late Missionary to China. By Rev. Chas. F. Bush. ISmo., pp. 254. Elegantly bound and illustrated. Price, $125. A fresh, lively and picturesque account of missionary life in the vast Empire of China, to which the humble and earnest piety of the missionary, developed by se vere affliction, adds a peculiar charm. Mugh of the space is occupied by extracts from Mr. Aitchison's journal and letters, thus admitting us to intimate acquaintance with a fellow-Christian and a suffering bro ther of refined and e xemplary spirit. We had pe rsonal association with Mr. Aitchison as a student in New Haven, and his wife was .a member of our Bible class in Centre Church. We find unusual gra tification in being able to recall the pleasant hours of Christian intercourse with these estimable persons, now gone, through the pen of our corresponding editor, Mr. Bush, and in the workmanship and with the i m primatur of our Publication Committee; The externals are very handsome. .lIESSLE LANE'S MISTAKE.

New York : Charles Scribner & Co. Bvo., pp. 552. For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. • • In this protracted and able discussion, Dr. Bushnell distinctly proclaims the antagonism of his views on the atonement to those of the Evangelical Church gener ally, adopting and advocating the "moral view," or that which resolves the atone ment "by the power it wields on human character." There is, he thinks, "a clear THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1865. presumption that " the final doctrine of the subject will emerge at this point, and be concluded in this form." He condescends to admit, however, that " if it should still be said that he reconciles God to man by his death, that kind of declaration will be taken as only a more popular, objective way of saying that God is in him, reconciling men to himself." D r. B u shnell denies to justice . a primary place in the divine nature, disallows the necessity of any compensation to God's justice beyond what is incidental to the vicarious sacrifice, declares " a complete silence of Scripture concerning a compen sation or necessary satisfaction paid to justice," admits the fact of the fall, but intimates that the particulars as narrated in Genesis are mythical, and thus walks on the border lines of truth, in order to harmo nize the Gospel with the ethical philosophy which is growing up outside of . it. For we would not wish to class this able, ingenious, and gifted thinker and writer, with the enemies of the truth or of evangelical theolo gy. His appreciation of the truly vicarious nature, the value and the necessity of Christ's incarnation, and whole atoning work is totally removed from the cold mo rality of Socinianism, and he has no sympa thy with the rose-water views of the divine character which would obliterate justice and subvert the doctrine of eternal punish ment. Yet any one passing from the Scriptures of the New Testament, from the fifty-third of Isaiah, and from the whole system of Old Testament sacrifices, to the ingenious attempt of this volume to re move or reduce to a minimum the penal, substitutionary, compensatory character of Christ's death, cannot but feel that he has got into a decidedly different train of ideas. We should like to see a hymn constructed on the basis of this " ethical" theory of Christ's death. TICKNOR & FIELDS' BOOKS CHILD. The Freedmen's Book. By L. Maria Child. 16m0.,pp. 277.

A new phase of American "Boy Life" is here depicted, a sort of inferior republic of letters, with its own vicissitudes of fortune, its sharply marked peculiarities of charac ter, its own vernacular, and its field, by no means narrow, for Christian effort, and for the advancement, both moral and physical, of the active, mercurial and precocions lads, Who constitute its subjects. The story of Luke Darrell is claimed to be strictly true; it is certainly lively and interesting in a high degree, its tone is excellent, and the impression it leaves will be found in a high degree profitable to every class of boys and This is believed to be the first juvenile published in Chicago, a rather remarkable fact, when the well known profitableness of this class of literature is considered.

It is sometimes a question with farmers whether they ought to apply manure to land in the autumn, which they intend to plant with corn or potatoes the following spring—letting it remain on the surface throughout winter. Frequently it is con venient to do so. spring is a hurrying season. I Rains delay the work; mud hinders the drawing of • manure. If they can keep it without waste through the sum mer and fall, adding meanwhile ingredients to swell the bulk and increase the rich ness, they can draw and spread it in the winter even, when there is more leisure. But does it waste by being exposed to the elements through the winter ? We think not, chemically at least. It may be washed or floated off from steep hill-sides, or flats liable to overflow. But on level or moderately rolling land, there is probably not only no waste in applying the manure in the autumn or' winter, but it will benefit the crop grown the next season, much more than if put on in the spring. Some of our best farmers have adopted this practice, and they find it 'to work well. How can the manure waste ? Will any one tell us ? As fermentation takes place, consequentl no gases are evolved to pass off. But i dries, says one, when there is no snow 01 the ground, by the wind and frosts. Dia out a load of manure, and spread it, and i a day it will not weigh more than a quarte as much as when put on the wagon. True but what dries out of it? Water—nothin:l else of value. Dry straw is just as enrich ing as wet straw. It is questionable even whether barn-yard manure will lose any of its fertilizing qualities if spread on the sur face of the ground in midsummer, and exposed to the sun and winds till complete ly dried. The gases that are given off, and taint the air, are of little value to the crop They will return in sufficient quantities to the plant, by absorption through its leaves. The advantages of manuring on the sur face in the fall are great. Much of the soluble part of the manure is taken up by the water and carried into the soil, where it is ready for immediate use by the follow ing crop. If the ensuing summer be very dry, a coat of ordinary barn-yard manure may not materially benefit corn, if put on in the spring just before plouging, from the fact that it will not decompose, and become available plant food, from want of moisture, early in the spring At any rate, if applied in the fall, the manure would stimulate the corn quicker than if put on late in the spring. If it be wet ground to which the manure is applied, it will cause the grass to sprout earlier and ranker, thus furnish ing considerable pasture for sheep in the spring, or the grass will be so much gained in greenimanure if turned under. We be lievefin manuring in the fall. Clean the hog-Pens, scrape the barn-yards, draw some mneli a e ' pty the sinks, and withal prepare for m lii g and saving manure during the winter• o that next autumn will find you I with a ore ample supply than ever before. —Ru al New Yorker. HON TO LOOK A HORSE IN THE MOUTH. 'ea the incisors, or cutting teeth of the horsi (called in man the front teeth) first pr 4 rude through the gum, their 'top face lot smooth, the edges are elevated, and th centre depressed: This depression in the out4ng surface is called the fossula. Thesula is not subjected to friction durinE. astication, owing to the edges of the to. . The fossula, therefore, soon be comes ack, and the black spot thus left is called e " mark." In time, the elevated, rim o' namel wears down, the cutting'sur-• fape do he tooth becomes flat, and, as a con sd { quence, the whole surface is. exposed to • t a trition, and the mark disappears. The t* eoccupied in wearing away the mark is p i ee tty' w nkifnoorwm—ababouthethargeee at which Now, teeth s a pu up, and about the time that the stark remains, we can calculate about the ge of tthe horse, so leg as any "marks" re left.

The central pair of 'incisors con uently,loses its mark on the attainment the sixth year : and the pairs ,which aear in the fourth and fifth years lose t dr mark in the seventh and eighth.

REMEDY FOR CRACKED HOOFS Take a piece of copper four inches long and two inches wide. and drill eight holes, four in each end, so as not to interfere with the crack. and screw it fist to the hoof, crosswise of the crack; then take a hot iron with a sharp edge, and burn the crack at the edge of the hair till it goes through to the quick. After this let the horse run on pasture, and it will begin to heal up in a few weeks. Care should be taken to close the crack tight before the plate fastened on.
