First of the pile before us, we take up two volumes by that veteran and incomparable writer. of books for the young, Jacob Abbot. who shall always Lave precedence with us error his competitor', as well because he can olden it alphabetically, as for other equally valid reasons. One is entitled " Ware of the Cobuics," being the fifth volume of his " Amor - icon Hiatory."

Editor" Gentle: Permit me to mill the etten don of yourreadere to a paintingnow on soli- bitten in our city, with tho above title. It is really a meritorious work, and deserving of • liberal patronage. The Panorama begins by representing chicle, and God said "Letthero be light, and there was light," and light ap appears. It carries the spectator on from the creation of men, and his possession of the Gorden of Edits, to his being driven out by the Lord God, and ••diming tweed to ganr the way to the Tree of Life. And thence on, In the development of the life of man, to the 'ening of Joseph tats Egypt, end his wonder ful elevation to the threne,--ooming down to the time of Salmon's Temple, when the -Qneen of Sheba came to oiler him gifts, spices and frankincense. The painting, u a work of art, is well ex ecuted, and the time spent in Ing o it, will be pased both pleasantly anti'. prdtably. The representatio s n of the. Deluge, the then amine fighting, followed by torrents of rain, the attempted egeepe of the inhabitants from the encroaching water, are all well portrayed. The Panorama Is accompanied with suitable and-appropriate remarks by • leaterer, and altogether it la well adapted to excite a now and more lively interest in the study of the Sacred neriptare ,E and if the eommendation of one who Les had the ?lemur, of seeing, but has an interest to servo in impressing hie admiration, will Indus others to visit it, he will be amply repaid.
