This book is decidedly one of the most tal

the 'Shady-Side and Sunny-Side department of
our literature, and (as is well known to an ex
tensive class of readers) it is wondrously Picto
rial and true 'to fact and nature. We are only
reporting.the simple truth, when we say that it
hes drairn tears of sympathy from *the eyes
of many readers. A perusal of this book
till show that difficulties of the same character
are to be encountered by Episcepal ministers,
which lie in the way of the Pastors of Presby
terien'and other•Ohurches, simply because they
have imperfect and unsiniditied natures in their
congregations.

'This volmie contains a biography, and"a num.
ber of the miscellaneous pipers . of one of the
Moot Oted sons of genius that' Ireland has'ever
procinced. Amid the bright galaxy , of her liter
ary stars;the name of Magin will ever shine
ferth with a peculiar and yet melancholy bright
ness. For many years he was the piquant and
attractive collaborateur of Wilson in Blgekwood's
Magazine, where his wqndrous atid
btilliancy attracted and astonished all • read
ors. In the .Tohn Bull and Standard news
papers. in Fraser's Magazine, and in .nearly all
the literary journals of London, his contributions
stood out conspicuously for several years, as racy
and brilliant beyond parallel. At ten years' of
age he entered Trinity College, taking a high
place, carrying off a Hebrew premium, and die
playing a more intimate acquaintance with Greek
and Latin literature, than the generality of the
students .of Scotch Colleges attain to when their
course is 'finished. Before the twenty-fifth year
of his age, he could write and speak familiarly
in German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese,
and Modern Grreek. He afterwards mastered
.Swedish, Rissian, Turkish, Magyar, and the
Basque dialect; while from childhood he was fa
miller with the Celtic. To write Greek and
Latin verses iteemed as easy to him as the prep
aration of an ordinary epistle. The volume be
fore us contains a biography and a selection of
his pipers from Fraser's Magazine. These papers
are many of them quite characteristic of the
man. They teem with alassical'allusion, and are
redolent of literary culture, while their wit effer
vesces and sparkles in a continuous stream.
Pity it is that such a man had not been under
the influence of sterner principles than he pos
sessed. His geniality and joviality of tempera
ment led him into scenes which rdtimatelyproved
his ruin. The notes which Dr. Mackenzie has
added*to this volume, feline one of its most' at
tractive features.

here given us of the different expeditions which,
from the days of the Northman, the Cabots, Wil

down to the last attempt of the lamOnted Kane,
and, the successful McClure, have been , made to
penetrate the icy regions of the itkiith, and to
find a 'passage along the Northern coast of this
Continent. Lately we had occasion to refer to
the different works which have been published in
England and in this ( Country on Arctic discovery,
'and we foundthe task both laborious anti unsat

ordinary readers could desire, as it,comprises the
results of 'the . many costly quartos, which can
only be procured at greatexpense, in which the

Dr. Finley was among the most distinguished
clergymen of the"ettilyPart of the nineteenth
Oentury. Be *as born: at FrineetOn, N. 3., in
4772, graduated at Nassau ; Hall in 1788, env
/ ployed several• years in tesching,'waslieensed to
preach the Gospel in 1794, and ordained and set
tled at Basking Ridge, N. in 1795. The
tmin
istry of , Dr. Finley was eminently useful. His
congregation greatly flourished, and he trained
many young men for the ministry, and for other
positions of usefulness. Boon after his settlement,
he established a' ClaSsical School at` Basking
Ridge, which' was truly a blessing to the youth of
his charge. The school :was as humble in its
beginning as the feeblest of: our Weidern con
grgations conkd desire or think practicable. We
ourselves, some years ago, visited the log dwelling
Which the Principal had occupied,. and in the,
basement of which he taught his earlier classes.
And in one of thotie classes . Were the Hon. Samuel.
Southard Rev. Dr: Kirkpatrick, and Itev. Philip.
Lindaley, D. D. ; men raised to eminence in the
land, but dravin out and helped to their education
by this effort of 'their paSter. In May, 1817, Dr t
Finley accepted an appointment to the Presidency
of the 'University of Georgia, at Athens, whither
he repaired '; and in theNeranibeffelloWin . g, he
died.
In preaching, in revivals, in pastoral labors, in
establishing the Bible Cless,, in his edncitienal
efforts; and :in the Chnicli' Courts; Dr. Finley 'was
remarkably useful ; but the great work in which
he. was distmgauthed, and which will perpetuate
his was the founding of' the Ameriait Cot=

The Late Rev. Philip Condit.
The Rev. Philip Condit departed this life
at his residence in Marion County, Oregon,
on the 24th day of November, 1856, of
typhoid fever, in the, fifty-fifth year of his
age. Mr. Condit was born in 'Mercer
County, Pennsylvania, and was'an Alumnus
of Jefferson College. In early life he en
joyed the instruction and.prayers of pious
parents, and made a profession of his faith
in Christ at the age of eighteen. At thirty
years of age he became deeply convinced
that it was hifilluty to preach the Gospel;
and with characteristic energy and perse
verance, and with small means, and aided
by the avails of his wife's industry, puilied
his way through hitr preparatory etudies,'and
was licensed by the Presbytery of Ohio in
1839. In 1840 he moved to Hancock
County, Ohio, and thence the next year to
Wood County, in the North• Western part
of the State, and engaged with zeal in the
selfdenying work of a missionary. He
continued to occupy this field as a pioneer
in the great work of supplying the destitute
and gathering the scattered:sheep till 1854,
when.he removed with his fimily to the Ter
ritory of Oregon, and, under many priva
tions and discoaragements, engaged with re
newed"seal in his Master's 'Service till called
to his reward. Nearly'the last work per
formed by. him was the erganization of a
church, and the necessary preliminary prepa
ration to build a house of worship, principally
by his Own means, for the Me of `that church.
Mr. Condit had a heart filled with love for
the great work in which he -was engaged,
and for the souls of his fellow-men. This was
made apparent in his willingness to labor for
years together on a salary of less than two
hundred dollars, to supply the destitute, and
ultimately to go to his distant field, that'.' he
might, as he said, "if need be, preach to
the more needy without compensation."
He was conscientious, warm-hearted, and
sincere.* As =:a Christian; he was humble
and devout;' as a'minister, faithful, earnest,
and
„ practical. He loved the Church,
especially that branch of it of which halms
a ininister, and the doctrines of the Gospel
I as taught in her Standards.
In his private life he was a;model worthy
of imitation, having adopted • as his motto
the golden . rule. As a, husband, father, and
friend, he was affectionate and kind and
was dearly loved' by'all those to whom he
sustained these - relations. During his last
sickness, and while the ~'fever lasted, he was
,not permitted to enjoy-the proper exercise
of his reason, and his last hours were those
Of insensibility. Great is the loss to his
family, and to the community in which he
lived; but, doubtless what was 'loss to, them,
is to him, eternal gain. "Blessed' are the
dead Which die in the Lord from hence
forth; yeaOsaith the Spirit, that they may
rest from their labors, and their works do
follow them." J. M. C.

THE ANGEL OF JEHOVAH.--GEN. XVI
7-14.
The Bible opens, not as modern works on
Divinity, with a chapter or book on Natural
Theology, but with the mere announcement
of God in the plenitude of his power, as,
the Elohim or Ent Cause of all things.
Though the glorious heavens, and the beau
tiful earth, are an immense volume in which
the creature may read of the Creator, yet
there is no commalid thus to use the book.
The reason is obvious. To the soul not yet
deceived by an eye taught to convey false
impressions, the truth that there is a God
who made the universe, comes as an intu
ition. But though " the Law was added,"
and a special Revelation was given because
of transgression, yet there is a dignity and
'a directness still continued, in announcing
Divine precepts the Bible, which can be
accounted for only upon the principle that
they do, in their simplest form, better meet
the felt Condition of dented and sinful hu
manity. Teachers of Bible truth will do
well to mark this fact, in order to use with
Ifted the iwoi-d 'of the Spirit:
This principle of a Bible revelation v ,

meritation of those truths which, if received
at all than, must be received arr axiomat
ic, either with or without the energy of a
regenerating Spirit, yet anew the presenti
tion of new names of God, and the unfold
ing of hitherto unrevealed beauties of his
character. Thus, Deity . as Creator, because
creation, as Paul declares, exhibits" eternal
power," is called, in the opening verse of
the Bible, Ekatim. So soon as man must
be taught to look at God, not only as the
Author of his being, but as the Preserver
of existence, he hears the name Jehovah
Blehim. This name of God is, heard ,in
Paradise, and it still fells upon the ear of
man after his banishment, till it, becomes
ffinillier. 'WhenGed is to he looked upon
as the,Auttler.of wrath or mercy, as la the
deluge and the ark,lie . named jeliefah
alone. When first announced as a' cove
nant God, reirealing the piiiphetic future of
his Church to Abraham, he is called the
Word of Jehovah. And when, as in the
Passage before us, he would intimate that
his inthority, Tor the sake of his people, .ex
tende.ta-fiegar and` the . Ishniiielitata
natiene—then he is , named the
.Angel or
Messenger of lehtivah. •
The 'Bible is a' revelation frem
eltingeable God, Therefore, though it Con
sists •of inany .l distinct messages, coming
through' the media various pennieni
writing different langnag,es and •:ages of
the world, yet • it'must - be viewed 'as one in
ite,Original'scurce, one in grand inipres- .
mon, and one in its glorious, object. Thus,
as interpreters of the 'Sacred •Becord, we,
may allow the raps of the rnirror Of doctrine
and'fulfilled le* to fall °back and enlighten
that which .is • - r in 'early::history„ and
prophecy. In doing wamay 'have the
fact 'clearly and fOrceably 'preiented,"that
God suited ,his -revelations to men's condi
tion. Whar••appears :dark -to us ad wet look
farbaek into ' the: :mist .of-the :past, may
have shed so mach light, that ancient saints,
with proper care, need.bot stumble. What
seems the noonday Wender of the Gospel
to us, may, as Peter intimates, have exer
cised inspired prophets in diligent search
and inquiry. Man in ' early: ages did not'
need 'a completed revelation, or Grid *mild
have given it. Now he is preiniredlo use
it-with advantage, and ifie in his possession.'
Wisdom doubtless -so gilded 'Jehovah in re-,
vealing himself to 'sinful humanity, that the,
interests:'of the entireiebel race was sought,
as far as' was 'Consistent with his - own char,
aster and glory. ,
Guided by ; this principle, lying, as' we ,
think,-at.the basis of the Bible,-viewed ae
tarevelatien from God, we shall try and give
a brief, hut clear definition 'of ' what we ::are
to understand by the Angel of 'Jehovah;•
mentioned in the verses set at 'the heeding
of thii Narrative,' ; The elieential. and tri,
une Deity, dulled klohim, when by power

to attach to these two names of God.
the second person of the Godhead,•for any
reason, assumed the specific office of uphold
ing and of governing a. -part, or the- whole
of God's empire, thenito'exhibitlie official
character,: he might be called , Angel or
Messenger Jehovah; for, aside from the
Masoretio pointing, 'the two nouns may be
• taken in apposition,- as the two names of
God'already referred - to. We have,' there
fore, the sense in the common version,
though mot the form of. the ,original, in rthe
rendering, " The Angel of the ,Lonp."
This Messenger 'would'aet -for the -Trinity,
. as when heaccompliihedlis wrath. upon Sod
om, by raining "'fire and-brimstone from Je
hovah, out of heaven ; or, as when he pro
'Claimed' his ' mercy on CaliarY, by sacrific
ing.nity assumed . humanity., upon the altar of
Div. .
By neglect to: distinguish between the
hidden and the revealed God of the Bible,
or between .the Father and the Logos, or
Son, and by:a careless or wilful oversight
of the fact that the latter Lhas all the, attri
butes and glory of the former ascribed to
him, Gnostics heretics represented' Jehovah
as a, local, 'deteriorating,' 'revengeful,` 'and
eventually, depoieff t ; god or 'eon; 'yet 'they
admitted that he. was the Creator of, the
'world, and the God - of •the Jew .An error,
'siniilar•insome respects, is reached by mod
ern philosophicinterfreters of the; Bible,
though the pith to: it WM:weevil:Lid differer.t.
Full of the idea that every end is -reached
by gradnal pregreseion, and •half rejecting
the distinct Bible utterance, that God often
acts by fiatainprovidence.as•he did in•creti
tion, they seem to repudiate the existence of
the Son of God, till he appears as the ion
of Mary Tothem,. Jehovah is not the
4 ' I , of his people, but thiprophetic
shall be.'!"
That the Angel who 'speaks to Hagar is
GOd, and not a creature, is evident from
verse 10, in which he ascribes a Divine,
work, viz : the increase of Hagar's descend
ants, to himself; fronoverse 11, where he
declares - of Jehovah what is affirmed'in the,
preceding verses of , his 'Angel; from
versel3, in which Jehovah is called the
God of sight, or, " thou God seed me."
This impression made upon the mind of the
handmaid of Sarah, we think,. presents the
idea which ought tone attached to the name
Jehovah. 'lt is in the Hebrew like the
word being in, English, for)ned from the verb
be. It expresses existence in, its fullest
seise, including source, siipport,' and con
tinuance. Consequently, they err equally,
who labor to' make Jehovah signify the
'"'shalt' be," as titny 'who try to , confine the'
meaning of the Milne 'to 'the "tax;"
Moses, the perinaan of rho vision:which
Hagar saw, asks the name of the Angel of
Jehovah, `when he , !appeared, four 'centuries
later, to himself 'in 'the burning bush. The
answer is given, (Ex. iii: ~14,) It UrAm.
TEAT I A3l, 7 ' or simply, 41- I AM. l ,', That this
is•the correct translation ; and that it is not
"I am what I shall be," or "I shall be,"
as some affirm, is evident from other pas
sages, with the same` form of . Hebrew tense
or time. Thus we have, (Gen. : 5.)
"God created every plant of the field before
it wds in the earth." "As a hidden, un
timely birth, I had not been."—job iii ''ls.
" Daniel continued until the' first year of
Cyrus."—Dan. i : 21. In these texts, with
others which might be 'referred to, exist,
which we think is the distinctive' import of
the name 'Jehovah,' gives a good `sense.
liowerfuliy, confirming this, is the remarka
ble passage, " Which is, and was, and is:to
come," 'repeated five times in the Apoca
lypse, as descriptive of Christ. In all the
texts but eve 'the pie — sent tiim3, eipreeeive,
of present existence, is placed first and most
prominent. Isaiah gives the same fdea, by
omitting the present, and calling Jehovah
the"' Eliot xnd the Last!'
Thus, while it is true that the 'name'
Jehovah may contain in' it the idea of ex
istence from 'past "eternity; and while it'
inolud* the idea 'of existence to may
ever
lasting, and this the incarnation at
'the fullness of time, yet' neither of these is
the idea of illinitme. The ,great theitight

The Publishers would eall - tbe special attention
men. and others, to some of the peculiar features of this
great work.
1. :It is a coxicerditure of rrafjciifa, not:lotto°, rds. In this
respect; it differs entirely from the - cover& concordance;
neither is, therefore, a substitute forthe other, eridboth are
indispensable ass part or Biblical apparatus.
2. It embraces all the topics, secular as well as religions,
naturally suggested by rho entire contents of the Bible. In
this respect it differs from: Soniiture Idatitials and Topical
Teat-Books, which are confined to theological or, doctrinal
topics.
• 3. It contains the entire contenteof the Biblerusatedged,
differing nothing from the ordinary Bible except in arrange.
'merit. In this respect it differs fronithe CASs cif wotksjust
alluded,to, which contain only a part of the Bible.
4. Where 'the same passage of 'Ocriptnfe relates to more
than one subject;-it is repeated under the appropriate head.
In ibis respect, the book differs from any other of the hind.
6. It contains a Synopsis of the 'contents separate from
the concordance, presenting,in areadable form,And in the
compass of a few pages, a bird's eye view of the whole. In
this, also, it differs from any other..
, 6. It contains a table of contents , embracing nearly two
thousand heads, in alphabetical or,:er. This is a - degree of
fullness quite unsurpassed: ,
7. There is but one other work in the language, on the
same:general plan; and this not only surpasses that in.full
nen and completeness of detail, but, is offered at much less
cost.'
No student of the Bible would willingly dispense with
this work when once possessed. It is adapted "to assist all
classes--clergymen and theological students; Sabbatiflichool
superintendents, teachers, and Bible classes, and those en
'gaged in the composition of religions, and iSsenreaular
works; and, in a word, common readera . of the Bible; who
Lave no other object' in view than their own imprOvement.

The object of this work, Is to show that the world has

Hebrew word given as Jehovah," in' the Old' Testament.
The author •undertakes to nrove, by historic philological
argument, that it was not "Jehovah," but " Tahveh"—that
it does.m t mean "I Aro," (self-existence,) but "lie Who
Will Be, or Come," (The Beliverer,)—in t short,' tbat the
" Jehovah " of the Old Testainent. and the " tihrist" of
the New, denote one and the same. Being. ..- •
