Jbifarc’* Cable. •yp IIITE ,—The Massacre of St. Bartholomew. Pre ceded by a History of the Religious Wars in the Reign of Charles IX. By Henry White. With Illustrations. Bvo. 497 pp. New York: Harper 4 Brothers. Philadelphia: J- B. Lippincott & Co. This is a careful re-statement of that part of the history of France which culminated in the Massacre —the darkest and most harrowing pas cage in the annals of time. The author’s more special researches cover the twenty-five years over which the reigns of Henry VI, Frances 11, and Charles IX extend ; and are fullest upon the last mentioned. Many new sources of information among the provincial records of France have been investigated in order to prooure materials. The extracts from the Sim&ncaa archives, published by Gaohard, universally regarded as of great im portance for the history of this era. the corres pondence of Catherine' de Medicis, as yet, only partially brought to- light, and other valuable documents have been consulted, bat while the author’s judgment is inclined to the oonclusion of Ranke and Coquerel, that the Massacre was al most unpremeditated, and while he freely recog nizes the mixture of political with religious in terests in the terrible civil strife between the Re formed and the Papists, and hesitates not to record the barbarities, not unfreqnently indulged iu by the Huguenots themselves, his verdict is. substan tially the same with that of enlightened history for the last three centuries. It is a plain talc without varnish or whitewash for either party; end it leaves the Massacre where it found it, — the worst twenty-four hours that the civilized world ever saw, the bloodiest, crudest outbreak of Papal ragd against the truth, “ Such.a pure ly gratuitous' massacre is unexampled in the an nals of the world." Amid statements widely contradictory, be declines to decide upon the prob able number of the victims, but he pronounoes Dr. Lingavd’s figures, 1600 for all France, “mon strously absurd," and expresses, a. preference for De Thou’s estimate as, a man of calm: unexag gcrating tamper. His estimate for all France is 20,000. Others make it as high as 100,000. Mr. White follows up the story to the. miserable end of OharleslXth, in which the divine vengeance was so clear as to be recognized by the dying monarch himself. The style qf the book is clear, but it is without any special merit in a literary or philosophic point of view. Its aim seems mere ly to tell the story well. The fourth chapter, France at the Accession of Charles IXth, is one of the most interesting and valuable in the vol ume. The externals of the book are very hand some, and match it with Smiles’ Huguenots, from the same publishers. Hetuerington.— History of the Westminster As sembly of Divines. By the-Rev. W. M. Hether ingtou, author of the “ History of the Church of Scotland.” 12mo. 312 pp. New York: R. Car ter & Bros. Philadelphia : Presbyterian Publi cation Committee. This history should be in the hands Of every Presbyterian. The manner in whioh the docu ments originated upon which our church organi zation and doctrine are founded, should be a mat ter of peculiar interest at this time, when it is proposed to make them the basis of a great Pres byterian Reunion. It is remarkable, indeed, how few the materials are for suoh a work. The orig inal archives of the Assembly are supposed to have perished in the great fire of Loudon, and other documents, bearing upon its proceedings, it is feared, shared the same fate at the burning of Parliament House in 1834. The chief matters of interest brought out in this volume, and which, in fact, constituted the main work of the body, rolate to church polity and the question of Church and State. On doctrine, the historian says, “ there prevailed such a degree of unanimity among the divines, that their deliberations on these points did not assume the character of con troversy and furnished no materials for historical narrative.” Kbnnedv.—Punallan ; or, Know What You Judge. By Grace Kennedy, author of the “ Decision,” “ Father Clement*” *' Profession is Not Principle," etc., etc. 12m0.f 447 pp. Philadelphia: Jas. S. Claxton. A powerfully written fiction, the aim of which ia apparently to show how true piety can shape to the highest and happiest results domestic cir cumstances full of peril and almost sure to end iu • the worst of disasters under ordinary worldly leadings. The scene is chiefly in Scotland; the religious sentiment is Evangelical and Presbyte rian—two characteristics, which, at the time of the story were not so commonly associated a 3 now. Amid much that is thrilling and exciting there is not a little that is unnatural.; And while it was necessary to the moral purpose of the au thor to put her characters into great perils, we cannot say we are altogether content with the tone of the book. The boundary of moderation has been overstepped and the arena of a bad sen sationalism has been at least too closely coasted. Murray. —Father Tom and the Pope ; or a Night at the Vatican.'

The sufferer from these diseases should exercise the great est caution in the selection jf a remedy for his case, pur chasing only that whichhe is assured from his investigations and is skilfully compounded,is free from injurious in gredients, and has established for itself a reputation for the cure of these diseases* In this connection we would sub mit those well-known remedies— HOOFLAND’S GERMAN TONIC PREPARED BY Ur. C. M. Jackson, Twenty-two years since they were first introduced into this country from Germany, during which time they have undoubtedly performed more cures, and benefited suffering humanity to a greater extent, than any other remedies known to the public. These remedies will effectually cure Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia,iMMjChronic or Nervous De bility, Chronic Diarrhoea, Disease of the Kidneys, and all Diseases arising aßi from.a Disordered Liver, Stomach, or Intestines. Resulting from any Cause whatever; PROSTRA TION OF THE SYSTEM, induced by Severe Labor, Hardships, Expo- There is no medicine extant equal to these remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is imparted to the whole sys tem, the appetite is strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood is purified, the com plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. And feeling the band of time weighing heavily upon them, with all its attendant ills, will find in the use of this BIT TERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will instil new life into their veins, restore in a measure the energy and ardor of more youthful days, build up their shrunken forms, and give health and happiness to their remaining years. It is a well-established fact that fully one-half of the re male portion of our popu Qssi lation are seldom in the enjoyment of good |H health; or, to use their own expression, u never feel well." They are lan guid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous, and have no appetite. To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TONIC, is especially recommended. WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN Are made strong by the use of either of these remedies. They will cure every case of MARASMUS, without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumulated in the hands of the propritor, but spaoe will allow of the publication of. but a few. Those, it will be observed, are men of note and of such standing that they must be believed.
