#riginal Continintitatins. REV. A. M. STEWART'S LETTERS—XVII. Nevada, Sep. 1868. CAMP LIFE IN NEVADA Not tent life, for in this region of magnificent distances, sparse hOuses and long journeys, tents seem to be discarded. When the pilgrim way farer becomes separated from public conveyances and night. settlesclown upon him before reaching human habitation, as may often happen, the 'ground becomes his bed and the open heavens his canopy. In thiS but little inconvenience is experienced even by a novice or a new corner. "The air is light, and in summer dry as that of a `Parlor, heated by a furnace, yet without its in conveniences. The ground is friable and with _no more moisture than, an ash heap. ot a, trace of dew can be seen or felt at early morn: 'Little danger of cold-catching from sleeping on the 'ground understich , conditionSi!

The religious character of the place is the re sult of the prayers and efforts of that saintly man, Edward Payson, who being dead yet speaks. The church in which Dr. Payson preached was burned, but a new edifice is going up under the name -of_ the Payson Church, in which it is to be hoped the same gospel will be preached, that from that man of God was the power of God and the wisdom of God unto many souls. Not far from the city is Brunswick, the seat of Bowdoin college,into which the new President, Dr. Har ris, is Putting new life, aided by - a hara-ivorking and enthusiastic corps of instructors. Some twelve miles away lie the two cities, Saco and Biddeford, in which; the noisy hum of innumer able .spindles may be heard with the clatter of looms. Large cotton Mills-are in both -these towns, driven by the waters, the ,Sace, which, some nine miles from the sea, has:a fill furnishing an , #bn,Oance power .for etten.ded taseufacturing. Much .of the sheeting, -shirting, ticking, jeans, and cotton, flannel pg-the mai*ets comes from ,these mills. They give,employment to a Jorge lauinber, of, operatives, most them girls.

It is enough for the religious public to know that the first volume of his last book, his commentary upon the Psalins, is pub lished. it will speedily find its way beside its 'predecessors: Then; too, who has not read with interest the volumes of Jacobus, and Plumer, and what scholar does not prize the works of.
