t:4O t. PRESBYTERIAN PUBLICATION COMMITTEE. BERRY PICKERS OF WIREONSIN. 18010, pp. 245. For Sale at 1334 Chestnut Street. The story of three children with their mother, deserted by a dissipated father, and reduced from comfort to poverty. Their rude home in Wiscon sin, with their awakening from utter desponden cy to energetic, hopeful and successful effort, are described in a most natural and entertaining way. The characters are well discriminated and life like. The kind sympathy and judicious aid of Christian friends, and the course of Providence, not superseding but seconding their efforts, are skilfully inwoven. Divine truth is represented as overcoming the resistance of the natural heart, displayed in some unusual forms, and leading to the humble acceptance of the Saviour. The book is fresh and healthful in tone, and must become, as it de , erves to be, a favorite in the Sunday-school or domestic library:, WHATELY. The Story of Martin Luther; edited by Miss Whately. - 16m0., pp. 354. For Sale as More than any other of the Reformers, the-old Saxon hero is a study for young as well ai old. As in the experienCe of perhiips no other man since Paul, the essence of the Gospel was wrought into the life of Luther ; so that in the recital, it becomes a lucid and powerful commentary on the doctrinal parts of the New Testament. In this volume it is told with great simplicity, so that the great mass of Sunday-school children could read it with satisfaction and profit. Nothing out, of the Bible is more likely to instruct and benefit the rising generation than familiarity with the character and works of Luther and his coadjutors in the Great Reformation. MIILLENS.-LIFE BY THE GANGES, OR FAITH AND VICTORY. By the late Mrs. Muliens, of Cal cutta. 16m0., pp. 288, three Illustrations. The Publication Committee have added not a little to their already large and just claims to a reputation for excellent judgment and Christian wisdom is the issue of this volume. It is one of the best literary fruits of missions to the heathen. Written by one of the most gifted of the women who have given theinselves. to ,the missionary work, it reveals to us the domestic life of the high-caste Hindoos, with a completeness 'and a fidelity scarcely to be found in any accessible work. All who are acquainted with the power of the religious prejudices of the high-caste [En do° will be prepared to believe that the entrance of converting grace into a Brahmin family would involve all the elements of a terrible domestic tragedy. Such a tragedy is powerfully described in this volume. - The scene-is laid in a Bei:galee family of high rank, and it leads the reader in a narrative of breathless interest, through bitter conflicts by which its inmates at last emerge into the light and liberty of Christian life. We be speak for it a place in every Sunday...school library, as one of die very first class of books, designed for that purpose. HILDEBURN.-GEORGE LEE, OR MAKING THE BEST OF TRIALS.

The " Oiled Feather," is a symbol of that pleasant manner, which is so small a thing in itself, and yet of such vast import ance to a peaceable and happy life. The "Tabs ing Fire Irons," mie.ht well be issued separately as a Temperance Tract. The whole are very neatly bound and enclosed, and would make a very ac• ceptable present to a child of seven to ten years old. THE LAKE OF THE WOODS. A 'Pale Illustrative of the Twelfth C iapter of Romans. By A. L. 0. H. New York: Carter & Bros. iSmo., pp. 310. For Sale at the Presbyterian Book Store. An ingenious and powerful story, in which, after the favorite manner of the gifted writer, the highest practical lessons of Scripture truth are unfolded step by step, in the natural course of the narrative. In no books of this class is the perti nency of Scripture to the manifold wants of our every day life so clearly illustrated, as in those of A. L. 0. E. The scene of the story is laid in British America, and the novelty of the scenes adds much to the interest of the story. J. P.

The contrast in the career of the two young girls, one of whom chose the better part, for which the other found no time, is drawn in a simple, un adorned, and yet impressive story, clear of all prosing, yet well calculated to convey the most salutary lesson to the minds of that large class of the young disposed to trifle and delay id the mat. ter of the soul's sa►.vation.

TERRA RAMIE. NEILL.-TERRA MARIE OR THREADS OF MARY LAND Colonial History. By Edward D. Neill. one of the Secretaries of the President of the Uni ted States. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. 12m0., pp. 260. Bevelled boards. In this unpretending volume a mass of facts of great interest and value, in regard to the found ing of the . ,Colony of Maryland,. and ihe character and history of theoriginal Prop , 'ietors and settlers are given; facts Whibb hitherto have existed for the Most part in detached and, little known; vol umes, in the journals of the British Parliament, in tore calendar of British State Papers and the various publications of Historical Societies of the mother country, to which the author has had access. The materials have been investigated with industry and handled with conscientious fidelity. The results are in a general way pre sented in the titles of the five chapters, as fol lows : George, First Lord Baltimore; Ceeilius, Second Lord Baltimore ; Difficulties With Vir ginians and others arising from the Civil War in England; Advent of the Friends and their ,in fluence; Boundary disputes. The corrupt poli tics of the Stuarts, the grounds of the religious toleration allowed the colony, the early es tablishment of Presbyterianism on the 'Eastern Shore are some of the points of general interest not suggested by these titles. It is accompanied by a very full index. There are some marks of inadvertence in the coMposition, on pp. vi. 37, and 53. We do not quite understand the phrase in the dedication to George Peabody, " a patriot above sectional prejudice," and .as to the praise of the descendants of, the Winthrops, page 64, for personal bravery, we suppose that is not in correct, for it must require considerable of that quality to be a Massachussetts copperhead, as the prominent representative of the family at this me is. We are glad, indeed, to see this book from Mr. Neill. Doubtless his moments of leisure spent in getting it up were much more profitably employed, than in the exercise of his office as one of the Secretaries, &c. TIIACKERAY.

Svo pp. 302,372. -.New York: .11arper & Bros. $1,25. While so many lamentable proofs of a degraded and polluted taste in readers of fiction, and of a readi ness of publishers and printers to supply it, are daily given by the issues of the press, it is a posi tive relief to see a steady demand for the works of the two purest English writers of fiction, Thackeray and Dickens. These writings, indeed, have their serious drawbacks in the absence of any hearty and reverent recognition of true Christian piety among their characters ; but aside from this, we may say of l'hackeray that no uninspired writer, and no preacher from the pulpit wore effectually exposes the vanity of human things than he ; and we do not think we transcend our limits as religious journalists by commending him as deserving to be read first of all writers of fiction. For our part, we are glad uur mother tongue is that of Thackeray rather than that of Eugene Sue, and we are thankful for the influence such a nawe does and must exert. in moulding this branch of literature and restrain ing it from impious and corrupt excesses. The volume is printed on clear white paper, and handsomely bound, and the illustratioys ori ginally by the author, are full of quaint signifi cance and power. For Sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. DICKENS---DIAMOND EDITION. DICKENS.-TrE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHO LAS NICKELBY, with original illustrations, by S. Eytinge, Jr. Bozston : Ticknor & Fields small 4tu., pp. 472, $1,50. For Sale by J. B. Lippin cott & Co. Thii early production of the author must main tain its ancient renown, in whatever dress it is issued: From its wide and varied range of char acters there are not a few that have so inwrought themselves into the warp and woofof popular opin ion that they are destined to a near approach to li terary immortality. To be ignorant of Wackford Squeers of Smike and Ralph Nickleby, is almost as bad as to be ignorant of the Four Georges, and certainly it is intellectually a much greater loss. The illustrations are ori l 4inal, carefully drawn and executed, all interesting and many of them very happy hits. Hawk and erisopht, and old Ralph Nickleby, and poor Smike haunt the memory like realities. The Cheeryble Brothers too, are`admirable, but the clerk forty-four ,years in their service, is too young in the picture by a score of years. If Dickens does not deal in grand passions, it is a compensation that in his pages, we are spared corrupting exhibitidns of crime and villainy which form the staple of many writers of fiction. It is no dishonor to be sneered at, as Dickens has been, by French critics for his respect for the proprie ties of civilized life, and for timidity and contrast With the boldness of Balzac and Sand, who could not get up a novel without waking their hero or heroine a candidate for the States prison, over and over again, or unfit for any but Parisian society. TEMPERANCE PRIZE TALE. EDWARDs. RACHEL NOBLE ' S EXPERIENCE. By Bruce Edwards. New York: Temperance Pub lishing llouse. 181 no., pp. 325. For this story a prize of one hundred guineas was awarded by the Scottish Temperance League, it being selected Put of eighty MSS. offe,ed. It is a domeStic story, ingeniously contrived to show the wide-spread mischiefs wrought in the family of an extensive dealer in intoxicating drinks, who holds a high place as a church member at the same time. Rachel Noble, the hired companion of the merchant's inebriate wife, is an original and interesting character; the story, as the auto biography of a woman of that character who is behind the scenes, has a piquancy and a charm that draw on the reader from step to step of its startling, reveltitions. It is in every ,way calcu lated to do good, and we rejoice to see it added to the increasingly valuable list of the National So. day. A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.

FROUDE AND THE SCOTTISH REFORMA- Peter Bayne says in the Watchman and Reflector of Froude's last v - Wernes - " Mr. Fronde has shown, with magnificent breadth of historical delineations, and with admirable pertinency of particular reason ing, that John Knox, and one or two bi are and true-hearted men who acted along with him, were not only the saviors of their own country from domination by the foreigner and from exterminating persecution by the Roman Catholic, but that they made little Scotland the rampart behind which the bat tle of human freedom and modern civiliza tion was fought. Mr. Fronde has gone far to prove, that all which is most precious to us in modern times,—all that is dearest in the birth-right we have received from our fath ers, and the heritage we hope to transmit to our sons,—was secured to the great, Anglo-Saxon race by the much maligned Reformer of Scotland. It is a remarkable, and instructive, and, on the whole, an encouraging fact, that the bulk of the Scot tish people have always, as by an unerring instinct, been right in their estimate of the meaning of' their national history, and of the essential service rendered to mankind by the Scottish Reformers; whereas, the entire school of superfine, kid-gloved, exquisitely sentimental persons, who were poetical on the subject of Queen Mary, and shed tears over the rudeness of Knox, and wrote gran diose ballads in glorification of Claverhouse and depreciation of the Covenanters,—the Humes, Aytouns, and the rest,—were pro foundly wrong. Through the history of Scot land, like an asbestos thread, indestructible, and only glowing into more radiant beauty when the fire of affliction burned most fierce ly around it, has run the faithful courage. and patriotism of the Scottish . Commons. To this, and not to the more dazzling quali ties of the aristocracy, it was due that the nation succeeded in resisting enslavement in the classic conflict conducted under Bruce and Wallace. And this it was, placed in different circumstances, butitself unchanged, which kept the banner of freedom torn, yet flying aloft upon the mountains, when Great Britain was crouching under the tyranny .of the last worthless Stuarts. The indomita ble Covenanter, keeping down with his broadsword the leaf of the Bible as the wind of the. hill blew keen across it, alone defied and despised them. The secret of Scottish history was known to Walter Scott, al though his portrait of Claverhouse is too highly colored, and Thomas Carlyle has al ways regarded with angry scornful rejec tion that shallow version of', Scotish history which would convert Knox into a ruffian, and poor, hapless, misguided Mary into a martyred saint." • We subjoin Mr. Froude's own verdict upon Knox's character and influence: " There lies one,' said Morton, as two days after the Reformer's death he stood to watch the coffin lower into the grave, 'there lies one who never feared the face of mortal man.' Morton spoke only of what he knew; the full measure of' Knox's greatness neither he nor any man could then estimate. It is as we look back over-that stormy time ; and weigh the actors in it, on& against the other TION. that he stands out in his full proportions. No grander figure can be found, in the en tire history of the Reformation in this island than that of Knox Cromwell and Burghley rank beside him for the work which they effected, but as politicians and statesmen, they had to labor with instruments which they soiled their hands in touching. In pu rity, in uprightness, in courage, truth, and stainless honor, the Regent Murray - and our English Latimer were perhaps his equals; but Murray was intellectually far below him and the sphere of Latimer's influence was on a smaller scale. The time has come when English history may do justice to one but for whom the Reformation would have been overthrown among ourselves; for the spirit which Knox created saved Scotland ! And if Scotland had been Catholic again, neither the wisdom of Elizabeth's ministers, nor the teachings of her Bishops, nor her own chicaneries, would have prevented England from revolution. His was the voice which taught the peasant of the Lo thians that he was a free man, the equal in the sight of God with tho proudest peer or prelate that had trampled on his forefathers. He was the one antagonist whom Mary Stuart could not soften nor Maitland deceive; he it was that raised the poor commons of his country into a stern and rugged peo ple, who might be hard, narrow, supersti tious, and fanatical ; but who, nevertheless, were men whom neither king, noble, nor priest could force again to submit to tyr anny. And his reward has been the grati tude of those who should most have done honor to his memory... . . He has been described as a raving demagogue, an enemy of authority, a-destroyer of holy things a wild and furious bigot. . . .• The shallow liberalism which calls itself historically-phi losophy has painted over the true, Knox with the figure of a maniac. . . . But for Knox . and Burghley—those two, but not one without the other—Elizabeth would have been flung from off her throne, or have gone back into the Egypt to which she was too often casting wistful eyes." • Tatatiamento.

They were introduced to the public in 1835, since which time their reputation has extended. until they have a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilized nations who have not personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great success is owing to their uniform reliability in cases of Constipation, Bilious and Stomachic diseases, whether of long or short duration. They are entirely vegetable in their composition, and harmless to the gentlest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the skin; another is diuretic; and stimulates proper action of the kidneys; a third is emollient, loosening phlegm and humor from the lunge; other properties are warming and cathartic, and cleanse the stomach and bowels from all unhealthy secretions. Their combined effort is, to regulate the impaired functions of the system, and to produce health. It is not asserted Moffat's Pills aro a cure-all—that they will cure all complaints—but under ordinary circumstances they may be relied upon to cure Nervous and Sick 'Headache, Costive-, tress, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Jaundice.
