WP:RAMAMbAItir.., TPA.. I,Vestern Correspondence. Pg. :—Readers of the Ban-1 r ..1111,ratc, residing iu the States of Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa, who feel an iLtercst in the establishment of the North- Western Seminary, at Chicago, and who lqive been watching the movements connected that enterprise, express no little 5W ,,i1.0 at two facts, apparent from your report ut the recent meeting of the Board at Chi as priblished in 3 our issue of November The first is, the discovery recently made by a niaj,rity of the Board that each nvry Synod wishing, to co-operate, must first make a formal application to each Synod a l rea dy admitted, obtain through this for nd application the consent of two thirds, a ,d then be received. We call this a dis• merry recently made, for certainly it was m , r dreamed of at that meeting of the Board, ,hen it was resolved to recommend the Synods engaged, to consent to the admission Missouri, Upper Missouri, and Southern lowa Why did not the Board at that time take the position now held, and by so doing supersede the necessity of such a recom mendation to the Haven Synods ? Simply because this interpretation of the constitu tion was not then thought of. It is also abundantly apparent, from the action of the f,ur Synods agreeing to the admission of Missouri, that they had not the most remote thought that the constitution could or would be so construed as it has been. No one suggested the idea in any one of the four Synods, during the discussion of the ques tions, so far as we can learn. They will, however, now understand, that each Synod seeking admission to aid in helping forward this work, must, like a Methodist itinerant, enter the circuit, and urge his cause at the bar of each Synod. The second fact which surprises your readers in this region, is the apparent jeal ousy with which new Synods are met in their application for co operation. Hereto. fore there has been something of an effort wade to enlist as large a sisterhood of Synods, as possible, in the special work contemplated, to place, if possible, its success beyond a contingency. But now a two•third vote, instead of a simple majority, is needed to admit any Synod; and the very first that apply, are met with every technical objection which can be raised; an exceedingly strict construction is put upon the constitution— a construction which certainly a majority of the Synods did not put upon it—and upon that construction one of the two applying is shut out, and the other admitted by a major ity of but one. We know that the State of Missouri bad some difficulty some years ago iu attaining admission into the Union, and we know that politicians still scrutinize with a jealous eye, the claims of other Territories seeking a place as States in the Confederacy; but we know of no good reason why Synods of the Presbyterian Church in good stand ing should be debarred from this great Church enterprise. It becomes the Board wisely to consider this matter. There is at present a body of three hundred ministers and four hundred and fifty churches, South- West, West and North of the city of Chi cago, who, if God gives wisdom in the Board, may be united in this great work of founding a Theological Seminary for the Not th• West. But their 00-operation will not be secured if they are to be met with • suspieten, The Valley of the llfiesissippi is frequent ly referred to by writers from this region. The expression is somewhat indefinite, and your readers may not be unwilling to con sider its boundaries and extent, and &intern. plate some of its advantages, that they may, in future, have a somewhat more precise idea of it. If they will examine the map, they will perceive a system of rivers having the Mississippi in the centre, which give to the country through which they run, the ap• pearanoe of a large palm leaf, with its stem resting upon the Gulf of Mexico This is the great basin of the Mississippi Valley. The Eastern portion of it is drained by the Hianoehitto, the Yazoo, the Ohio, the 1111. nois, and the Upper Mississippi • the West ern by the Red River, the Washita, the Arkansas, the White, St. Francis, and Onge, the Kansas, the Triple Platte, the II E u qui•Cours, and the Yellow Stone. These streams are all navigable fora great dis• tenet°, and are all rivers of great importance. The aggregate length of the navigable chan nel of these rivers is twenty two thousand five hundred miles having a shore of forty. five thousand miles, nearly equal to twice the distance around the globe. It is esti mated by those who pretend to know, that this furnishes facilities for navigation, and an extent of coast, equal to the Atlantic Ocean. This basin, if populated as thick as it might be, would sustain eleven hundred millions people. Christian, look at these facts. Pon der them, and in your plans to provide for the future of .this great Valley, in reference to its intellectual and spiritual wants ; be not niggardly, but devise liberal things. Rev. John M. McElroy, of the Preeby- tery of Des Moines, writes that he was incapacitated for labor during most of the last Summer, in consequence of a sun.strok a, or something like it. This brother is at Ottumwa, on the Des Moines river, the flourishing county seat of Wapello County, and sends many items of news, among which are the following : " A call was laid before the Presbytery of Des Moines, by the church of Chariton, for the ministerial labors of Mr. John Ander• son, and steps were taken with a view to his ordination and installation at a future time. Mr. A. has been for several years connected with the High School at Fairfield, lowa, formerly known as a branch of the State University. The field upon which he enters, is an important and. promising one. " The First church of Burlington, lowa, reoently vacated by the resignation of Dr. Harrison, have employed, as stated supply, Mr. W. L. Mitchell, late of Princeton The ological Seminary, and a licentiate of the Presbytery of Lafayette, Missouri. This young brother I have known intimately for several years past, and I trust the Master will make him eminently useful in the im portant field in which he has been called to labor, " A Committee of our Presbytery, lately organized a church at Corydon, Wayne iieunty, comprising sixteen members, four of w h om w ere duly inducted into the office of Ruling Elder, Thus we are progressing Westward, this latter church being near our Western boundary. "The Winter is likely to be a trying one on our Western missionaries. Food, we are likely to be supplied with, is provision is abuodant, but money, and suoh things as only money can procure, we must, to a con sidtrable extent, be without. A gentleman, whom I met recently, informed me that one of our ministers in Nebraska (one whom I ham intimately at Princttoo, and who is (king a good wurk,) had said to him a few days previous, that owing to the failure of missionary funds, he was compelled to have recourse to daily labor, to maintain himself and his little family." Has it indeed come to this, that our mis sionarie- are compelled to labor with their hand, neglecting their appropriate work, be cause of the poverty of this Lord's treasury ? Who will learn this fact, and not feel dis- pcsed to send, at once, another dollar to the Board of Missions ? November, 1857, has been regarded as the most severe month of the name that has ever been experienced by the oldest inhab itant of the West. The Thermometer was down, several days, below zero, and in Wis consin, Northern Illinois, lowa, and Minne sota, much snow fell and lay upon the ground. December, however, has com menced with a bland smile, which, we fear, may be chanced before we are done with him, into one of his fiercest frowns. Yours, NORTH-WEST.

The two Houses of Congress met on Monday, the 7th, and were duly organized. SENATE.—The Vice President, by letter, inti mated that he could not be present, and Mr. Fitz? patrick was chosen President, pro. tem. Mr. Fitzpatrick returned thanks, when the usu al resolutions were adopted to inform the House, and the . President of the United States, of an or ganization. The Senate then went into Executive session, and confirmed the President's nomination of Geo. W. Bowman, editor of the Bedford Gazette, as Superintendent of Public Printing. HOUBE.—Two hundred and twenty-one mem bers answered to their names. A quorum being thus ascertained to be present, the House pro ceeded to the election of Speaker. Mr. Orr was nominated by Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr. Grow by Mr. Banks, which resulted as follows :" Orr. 128 ; Grow, 84 ; scattering, 13. The annun ciation was greeted with applause. The Clerk appointed Messrs. Stevens and Beaks to conduct Mr. Orr to the Chair. The oath was administered by Mr. Giddings. On assuming the chair, he expressed his thanks for the honor conferred, and said the delicate and responsible duties of the chair would be compara tively light if he should be so fortunate as to se cure the co•operation of the members in dispatch ing business and upholding the dignity of the House. He promised to administer the rules which may be adopted, with firmness and impar tiality. The great business confided to them by the people, admonished them to cultivate a spirit of p'triotism as extensive as the confederacy itself. He obarishod the hope that business would be trans.aoted in such a manner as to promote the ihterest and happiness of the entire people ; that the. Constitution would be maintained in its integ rity, and that their legislation would quicken the greatness and glory of our common country. ' The members were then sworn—advancing by delegations for the purpose—after which the House adjourned, without transacting any other business. DKO. 8.-SENATE- - The Message was received and read. Mr. Douglas remarked that he concurred cor dially and heartily in the views of the President therein expressed, with the exception of that portion in relation to Kansas and the action of the Lecompton Convention. At an early day he would give his views, and the reasons why Le be lieved the people of Kansas had not been left, as the organic act declared, perfectly free to form and regulate their institutions in their own way. Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, concurred •in Mr. Douglas'. views respecting the Leoompton move ment. Mr. Davis concurred in the views of the Presi dent, concerning the Kansas question. Mr. Bigler gave notice that he should defend the position assumed by the President, to the best of his ability, and respond to Mr. Douglas. Mr. Hale spoke in opposition to the Constitu tion formed by the Lecompton Convention; ar guing that it would perpetuate slavery in Kansas, no matter whether the people either accepted or rejected the slavery clause. Mr. Seward should be glad to hear the support ers of the President explain his position, for it seemed to him that the message was very lame and impotent in its arguments on Kansas, and that something more would be necessary to satisfy the public mind, than was contained in the docu ment itself. • Mr. Mason was free to declare that all the in formation for the last six months, relative to Kansas affairs,! had come from questionable sources. If he understood the President's posi tion, and he thought that he did, the President's position was impregnable. Mr. Trumbull denied that the Legislature of Kansas had authority to initiate the convention. Mr. Brown said there seemed to be great anx iety to enter into discussion, and especially to find fault. They had beard the message imper fectly read by the clerk, and therefore could not understand it He asked Senators to pause and sleep on the document before indulging in debate. On his motion, the Senate adjourned. House.—Mr. Smith, of Virginia, offered a res olution providing for the appointment of a com mittee to examine into the subject of the public printing, the election of printer, to be postponed until their report shall be made. He said it was believed that an enormous corruption was con nected with this subject, and hence the necessity of an investigation. • Mr. Clemens moved to elect a printer first, and then afterwards to investigate. Mr. Houston, who had moved to proceed to the election of a printer, expressed his willingness to agree to the method proposed. The debate was here interrupted by the recep tion of the President's Message. After the read ing of the document, Mr. Bocoek appealed to the House to complete its organization by electing a public printer. Mr. Prow advised the House to commence the reform of the government printing department by curtailing the enormous expenditures which had created our government into a rival with all the book establishments in the country. Books were sent out by Congressional authority which were really not worth the paper on which they, were printed. Without concluding the subject the House ad journed. The Southern mail which arrived this evening, brings the Mobile Register of the 30th ult. That paper learns that the rumor was received at New Orleans, by the Daniel Webster, that the steamer Fashion had landed General Walker and his band of filibusters in Nicarangna, and was on her way back to New Orleans. Col. Richardson, of Illinois, has been formally tendered the Governorship of Nebraska. The entire Globe and the supplement, issued to- day, are occupied with an exposition of the alleged frauds on the purchase of books during the last Congress. The publication has prqduced much sensation, particularly about the capitol. Mr. Allen, Clerk of the House of Representa tives, has appointed John F. Carter, of Pennsyl vania, his Chief Clerk. THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE. We present below, a very brief but comprehen sive abstract of this document, sent by telegraph. Next week our readers may expect the entire message. WASHINGTON, December B.—The President in his message says, that owing to the monetary de rangements of the country a government loan may be required before the close of the present session. The financial history of the last forty years has been one of extravagant expansions in business, followed by ruinous contractions. The Federal Government cannot do much to provide against ex isting evils. We must rely mainly on the patriot ism and wisdom of the several States, which should afford a real specie basis for our circulation. The President recommends the passage of a Bank rupt law applicable to all banking institutions in the country. As Great Britain and the United States under stand the Clayton-Bulwer treaty in senses directly opposite, the President says the wisest course is to abrogate it by mutual consent, and commence anew. Overtures for the adjustment of our diffi culties have been recently made by the British government in a friendly spirit, which the Presi dent cordially reciprocates. With all other governments, except Spain, our relations are as peaceful as we could desire. It is the President's purpose to send out Ministers, with special instructions on all questions pending between the two governments, and with the deter mination to have them speedily and amicably ad justed, if possible. While our Minister to China has been instructed to occupy a neutral position with regard to the existing hostilities at Canton, he will cordially co-operate with the British and French Ministers in all peaceful measures, to se cure by treaty stipulations those just concessions to commerce which the nations of the world have a right to expect, and which China cannot be permitted to withhold. Our difficulties with New 1 Granada, are, it is to be hoped, in a fair way to be I settled in a manner just and honorable to both par , ties. The United States are more deeply interest ed than any other nation in preserving the freedom and security of all the communications across the Isthmus of Central America, including that of Pan ama. He recorn mends the passage of an act authori zing the President, in case of necessity, to ern ploy the land and naval forces to carry into effect I the guarantee of our neutrality laws, and similar 1 legislation for the security of any other route across the Isthmus, in which we may hereafter acquire an interest by treaty: The President condemns the lawless expeditions fitted out against independent republics on this continent, ; and commends the whole subject to the serious attention of Congress; believing that our duty and interest, as well as our national character, requires that we adopt such measures as will be effectual in restraining our citizens from commit ting such outrages. The President says the Kansas Constitutional Convention was not bound by the Kansas Ne braska act, to submit any other portion of the Constitution to election, except that which relates to the domestic institution of Slavery. The election will be held under legitimate authority, and if any portion of the inhabitants refuse to vote, a fair opportunity to do so having been presented to them, this will be their own voluntary act, and they alone will be responsible for the consequences. The President says the rebellion in Utah is the first which has ever existed in our Territories, and humanity requires that it should be put down, in such a manner as it shall seem best. In order to do this, it will be necessary to raise four additional regiments of troops. He also recom mends the establishment of a territorial agent for Arizonie„ and commends to the friendly consider., ation of Congress-the subject of the Pacific Rail , - ; road, without finally committing himself to any i particular route. He also calls the especial atten ; tion of Congress to the recommendation of the ' Secretary of the Navy. to favor the construction of ten small steamers, light draught. The Presi dent refers to Congress other subjects of national importance. H. WILDS, Treasurei The President's Message From Our Army in Utah. ST. Louis, December B.—The express passed through yesterday to Washington, with despatches from Col. Johnson. The Republican received letters this morning to November Bd. The Mor mons run off six hundred cattle- in eight of Col. Alexander's camp, near Ham's fork, on Green river. At the date of the letter it was supposed Col. Johnson had concentrated his forces with Col. Alexander. It was expected that Col. CooVs command would nightly be with them. They expected to Winter on Henry's Fork, Green river. There was a good deal of suffering from want of provisions and clothing, and the horses were giving out from the want of forage. Gov. Cumming, and other officers, determined to get into Lake City, if possible. The Mormons determined on resistance to their entry, either as military or civil officers. A skirmish between Alexander's troops and the Mormons, resulted in the capture of three or four of the latter. Elections for Mayor. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 7.—Anson Phelps, Republican, was re-elected Mayor of this city to day. New Beuronn, Mass., Dee. 7.—G. H. Dunbar, Republican, was re elected Mayor of this city by ten plurality over Mr. Harland, the Citizens' can. didate. The latter carried a majority in Councils' LAWRENCE, Dec 7.—John R. Rollins has been chosen Mayor of this city. Items. Gov. Bourwar.r. stated to the editor of the Ohio Slate Journal, that the aggregate of subscriptions to the great work of Prof. Agassiz, entitled, "Contributions to the 'Natural History of the United States," two volumes of which have already been published, amounts to upwards of a million and a quarter of dollars. This probably has no parallel in the history of scientific litera ture. YALE COLLEGE.—The present number of stu dents, as given by the catalogue just published, is as follows:—Professional Students: in Theol ogy, 22: in Law, 31; in Medicine, 29; in Philo sophy and the Arts, 36-118. Academica/ Stu dente: Seniors, 100 ; Juniors, 107 ; Sophomores, 117 ; Freshmen, 132-447. Total, 666. THE STEXIBEFI'TILLE RAILROAD COMPANY, some time since, sued several of the original stockhold ers, for instalments on their stock, and were met by the defence that they had transferred their stock, to irresponsible persons, and were thereby released from further liability; in which they were sustained by the DiStriet Court. In one of these cases, taken to the Supreme Court, that tribunal has decided the defendants to be liable. This decision will govern sundry other cases.— Dispatch. OHIO Wool.—The Ohio clip of 1857 is estimated to exceed that of 1856 by at least three millions pounds. The counties in the centre of the State are now as famous for their fine wool as they for merly were for their great crops of wheat. The estimated value is $6,000,000. arkets. • Prrrsmutom Tuesday, Dee. 9. Asses—Pearls. eN. Pats, es6 l Ae.

Very respectfully, &c., Mr. Silas J. Liscomb, of Birmingham, says:, "I have found in Bcerhave's Holland Bitters a remedy for Headache and Debility. My wife has also used it with the greatest benefit." Mr. A. S. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also re marks that he has experienced much relief from its use for headache.

Obituarg. DlED—November 12, at her residence in Equal ity, 111., Mrs. MAGDALENA NEELY, wife of Mr. John Oberly. She was much loved by all who knew her. The Lord called her out of health ; but in the midst of life we are in death. She hath gone to the land whence is no returning, To a clime ne'er viewed by a mortal eye, Where the wail of sorrow and weeds of mourning Ne"er thrill the heart or go rustling by. And there she dwells with the hliseful-hearted, By the river of life, in the vales of God, . And the dearly-loved and early departed Are with her there in that blest abode. And happily she, in those homes of heaven That dotteth the vale of its golden clime, Is waiting oar coming, when death has riven The chain of life on the shores of time. A.E.B. DIED—At his residence in Westmoreland Co., Pa., August 20th, 1857, Mr. WILLIAM FINLEY, in the 86th year of his age. , He became a professed follower of Christ early in life—probably in his nineteenth year— end his name is, found enrolled as a Ruling Elder in 1808, his forty-fifth year. The duties of this office he•discharged with unusual ability and fidelity, until disabled by age and infirmity. DIED-At Rock Run, Stephenson County, Illi nois, Oct. 23d, Mr. Sam= Nun, in the 33d year of his age. The deceased was a native of Centre County, Pa., and previous to his removal. West, five years ago, resided for a time in Clarion County, Pa., where he first made a profession of religion, end attached himself to the church of New Rehoboth, under the pastoral care of Rev. James Montgom ery. Mr. Neil was a consistent and exemplary member of the Presbyterian church of Rock Run, within whose bounds he resided for about four years. Having lived the life of the righteous, his last end was like his, full of hope and peace. J.S.D. Drsn—At his residence near Clarkson, Colum biana County, Ohio, Nov. 7th, Mr. JAMBS ARM STRONG, in the 67th year of his age. Mr. Armstrong's sudden and unexpected death speaks, loudly, "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh." He had enjoyed good health until a few months be. fore his decease, and was able still to go around and attend to his business, as usual, till the even• lug previous. That evening, he took his supper and attended to family worship, as usual, and re tired to rest. About 11 o'clock he became very sick, and breathed his last about 2 o'clock in the morning. He spoke but a few words; was calm and composed ; said he would soon be with Jesus. We trust he was ready. He was pleasant and amiable. In all the associations of private life, and in all his official relations with the Church of his choice, he was emphatically a man of peace upon the principles of the Gospel of Christ. His heart and hand were open to the cause of Christ, and he delighted much in the ordinances. He was but recently ordained to the office of Ruling El der, and the last Sabbath he spent on earth, he assisted in the administration of the Lord's Sup per. "He walked with God and is not, * for God took him." [Preacher and Presbyterian will please copy.] Dien—November 19th, at his residence near Cedar Rapids, lowa, WILLIAM S. Tuomrsow, in the 48th year of his ago. The deceased was long a resident of Pittsburgh, Pa. He was a member of the Sixth Presbyterian church in that city, and on his removal to lowa, united with the Presbyterian church of Cedar Rapids. Religion was the choice of his early years—his consolation , during a lingering disease. .Near his end its promises became more precious; its joys more exquisite; and his heart revived at the Christian's voice. Much of his last Weeks was spent in prayer and praise; many a broken desire was expressed for the salvation of his children. With`" a good hope through grace," he fell asleep. DIED—On the 15th of Oatobei in Pine Grove, Centre County, ORLANDO P., son Of Alexander and Margaret Sample, aged 4 years and 11 days. The deceased was a most interesting and prom ising child. Armind him were entwined the worm affections of tender-hearted and indulgent parents, who mourn in the bitternees of their souls, be cause he is not. He was a lamb of the flock, and a member of the Church of the Lord Jesus, hav ing been inducted into his visible kingdom by the solemn rite of Christian baptism. We trust that le has gone to be forever with Him, who gracious ly said, in the days of his flesh, Suffer little children to come.unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God." T. S. DIED—On Sabbath. morning, September 13th, at her residence, at La Grange Centre, La Grange County, Indiana, Many Mrs. McCosr, aged 79 years and 9 months. Mrs. McCoy united with the Presbyterian Church, in Washington County, Pa., in 1802, and was a subject of the great revival in that .place. In 1806, she moved to Trumbull County, Ohio, and in 1826 moved from there to Wayne County, Ohio, and in 1846 moved to La Grange. The cause of her death was disease of the lungs. She suffered a great deal of pain, which she bore with humble resignation ; being fully assured that her end would be peace. After bidding farewell, and giving a charge to her children and friends around her, she lifted up her eyes. and prayed, saying, "Lord Jesus receive my spirit ;" and her peace ful soul departed without a struggle. Mrs. MOO. has left a large connexion to mourn ber loss as a mother in Israel. DIED—On the 80th of Ootober, Mrs. MARGAVET MLWHERTES, wife of George Mewherter, of Con gruity, >Westmoreland County, Pa., in the 63d year of her age. Mrs. Mewherter bad been for thirty-six years a member of the Presbyterian Church, and during her last iUnees, which was protracte‘she seemed to enjoy the sUpport and consolation which relig ion only can afford. Her calmness and composure, in the prospect of death, were extraordinary. Nearly four months before her decease, while she was yet able to travel a little, she went to a neigh boring village, purchased her funeral clothing, had it made up under her own eye, and laid it away with her own hands. As the time of her departure drew near, she gave minute directions respecting her funeral, and told her family that she wished to die in an arm chair which she kept in her room, in which she had frequently seated herself while she was able, and been placed by her attendants after she became unable to walk, which was only a few days before her death. Two or three hours before she ceased to breathe, she expressed n desire to be placed in her chair; and while being supported there by her husband, her epirit took its flight. "May I die the death of the righteous, and may my last end be like his." DIED-Of dysentery, at the Lake House, on Monday the 7th inst., at 12 o'clock M., Rev. THOMAS R. ELDER, in the 24th year of hie age, .. _ and the fifth month of his ministry Mr. Elder was a native of Eldersridge, Indiana County, Pa. In 1847 he began his classical studies under the supervision Of Rev. A. Donald son, in Eldersridge Academy, with perhaps no definite object in view; but in 1850, during a re vival of religion, serious impressions were made upon his mind by the Spirit of God, which in creased till in the following Spring, when he was enabled to consecrate himself and all his powers to the service of Christ. In 1854 he was graduated at Jefferson College, Pa., with credit to himself and his instructors. In the Fall of the same year, he entered the junior class in the Western Theological Seminary, to pursue his studies for the ministry. The second year was spent partly in teaching in Eldersridge Academy and in private study with Rev. A. Donaldson. In the Fall of 1856 he was licensed by the Presbytery of Blairsville, with the design of laboring in the Lake Superior region during the coming Sum mer. He returned to the Seminary to complete his studies, but his health failing in December, the remainder of the Winter was spent at home. A favorable change having taken place, he was ordained as an Evangelist in April, by the Pres- bytery of Saltsburg. In May he was married, and having been commissioned as Domestic Mis sionary, he left Pennsylvania•on the 2d of July, and after delaying a few days at• Ontonagon, reached Bayfield on the 17th. As far as his still feeble strength would permit, he entered at once upon his work,•and his rapidly improving health, under the influence of a pure and bracing climate, gave promise that he could soon labor Vigorously in his Master's cause. But God had other - work for him to do. On the 16th of August he assisted in the organ ization of the First Presbyterian church of Hay field, and on the 19th, the Presbytery of Lake Superior, which was appointed by the General Assembly to meet in Ontonagon. During a de tention of a few days there, he was attacked with a slight diarrhea, from which, however, nothing serious was anticipated. But after his return home his disease assumed a more dangerous form, and obstinately resisted all efforts to check it, till about noon on Monday it terminated his life. His sufferings were severe, but were borne with Chris tian fortitude. He said to his wife, "that if God bad a work for him to do he would raise him up again;" still no fatal result was apprehended till ten or twelve hours before his death, when his mind became unsettled. The little church, so recently organized, pressed upon his mind, but he seemed to commit it to God, repeating the precious promise, "I will not-leave you comfortless." It is a source of deep regret that at the last he could not converse rationally—had no farewell for his partner, nor parting words for his absent friends, but hil end was peace. The exhausted frame sunk quietly to rest, and now he sleeps in Jesus. . His talents were of a high order; his piety marked, his zeal earnest; his disposition, cheerful, frank, and winning. During the few weeks that he was here, be bad gained the esteem and respect of all who knew him. The dispensation is mysterious, sudden, and severe. A lovely wife, so early widowed, mourns his loss in tearless anguish, far from her friends and kindred—a father, mother, brothers and sis ters weep for him, by whose bedside they were not permitted to watch—whose remains they were not permitted to follow to the grave; a little church sorrows for her counselor, her spiritual shepherd thus suddenly snatched away; the com munity, of which he promised to be a useful and efficient member, is deprived of his influence for good, and his brethren who hailed this accession to their little band with joy, stand astonished, trembling—almost discouraged. ' But God rules in the world and in the Church. He guides and directs all events in infinite wisdom and goodness. For his bereaved partner, we plead the rich promiseanf God, who is the Father and the Judge of the fatherless and the widow. To his absent parents and friends, we•say Christ hath done this. The reason is hidden now, but it will be known hereafter. Everything that the most genuine kindness and the deepest sympathy could suggest, was done for him by the people amongst whom he died. His body sleeps quietly on a beautiful bluff over looking the Bay and the Lake. To his little church we repeat the words of the Master, " Fear, not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleas ure to give you the kingdom." To this communi ty,- the solemn.warning of Christ is repeated for the third time within three weeks, from the coffin and the grave. "Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh." To his brethren, this event says, "the time is short, work while it is called to-day, the night will .soon come." " How blest the righteous when he dies ! When sinks a weary soul to rest, How mildly beam the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast I "Life's duty done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies ; While heaven and earth combine to say, How blest the righteous when he dies !"

It is methodical, lucid, comprehentrive, and in its style quite charming for such a subject. I am eeriouelyi inclined to introduce it, next Fall, lute our course es a tett book." From a Trustee of the Worcester Female College, "It meets my views of what a text-book on this subject ought to be, better than any other treatise I am acquainted with. I like the book so well that we shall adopt It unhesi tatingly as our text-book in Mental Philosophy, in the Fe male College in this place. The work is. I think, particu larly felicitous in its history of opinions and views on the topics treated upon. I have no doubt that it will be popu lar and widely used, because it so well meats a want hnig felt and often expressed" From the Biblothera, Sacra for November, 7867. "It has the eminent merit of never pre-supposing in the pupil a larger knowledge of mental science than he ordb smelly possesses; and, at the same time, of not underrating his intelligence, and disgusting him with , explAnations 9f what bee been familiar to bins.

His learning ie not only various, but genuine, and is brought forward with the simplicity that shows he is accustomed to its use, and has not picked it up for the occasion. But it is the downtime and penetration of his own intellect which gives its chief value to hie treatise.
