The Border Land.
hare been to a land, a Border Land,
Where there was but a strange, dim light;
Where shadows and dreams, in a spectral band,
Seemed real to the aching sight.
I scarce bethought me how there I same,
Or if thence I should paws again;
Its morning and night were marked by the flight
Or coming of woe and pain.
But I saw from this land, this Border Land,
With its mountain ridges hoar,
That they looked across to a wondrous strand--
A bright and unearthly shore.
Then I turned me to Him, is The Cruafted,"
In most bumble faith and prayer,
Who had ransomed with blood my sinful soul,
For I thought he would call me there.
Tet nay; for awhile in the Border Land
He bade with patience stay,
And gather rich fruits, with a trembling hand,
Whiltite 'thud its gloom. away;
Ha has led me amid those shadows dim,
And shown that bright world so near,
To teach me that earned trust in him
Is "the one thing needful" here.
And so frout,the land, the Border Land,
I have turned me to eartlkonee more;
But earth and -its works were snob trifles, nannedl
By the light of that radii*, shore!
And. oh I iliwttid•they ever pciesees me again,
• Too deeply in heart and hand,
I must think how empty they seemed, and vain,
From the heights of the Border Land. ,
The Border Lanni had depths and valeta,
Where Know for sin was known ;
,Where small seemed great, as weighed in seeks,
Held by God's band alone;
'T was a land where earthly pride was naught,
Where the poor were brought to mind,
With their scanty bed, their fireless cot,
And their bread, so lard to find.
But little I heard in the Border Land
Of all tbst passed below ;
The once loud voices of human life
To the deafened ear were low.
I was deaf to, the clang of its trumpet call,
And alike to its gibe or its sneer.
Its riches were duet, and the lose of all
Would then scarce have cost a tear.
I met with, a, Friend in this Border Land,
Whose teachings can come with.power
the blinded eye and the deafened ear,
In aillintion's loneliest hour.
" Times . of refreshing" to the soul,
. In languor, oft hit brings,
Prepares it,then to meditate
On high and glorious things.
Oh 1 Holy Ghost! too often grieved
In health and earthly haste.
I bless those slow and and silent hours -
Which seemed to run to waste.
I would not but' have passedlbese ad depths,"
And such COMIIIniOII knotrn,
As can be held in the. Border. Land,
With thee, and thee alone.
I have been to a land, a Border Land!
May oblivion never roll
O'er the mighty lessons winch there and than
Were graven on my soul
I have Imodden - a path I did not know,
Safe le my Saviour's hand ;
I can trust him for all the future, now
I have been to the Border Land.

This is beyond all comparitionf,the most perfect
edition of ihe works of Leighton that has ever
been given to the public. In its preparation the
latest London and Edinburgh editions were used,
and as it wasTound that the Scotch copy contained
matter which was omitted, in the English, and on
the other hand the English :work comprised, ma
teriels not inserted in the Sootch issue, a perfect
one was made up from them both. Then, again,
the great desideratum of an index was wanting,
anfi.this bas been prepared with much care, so
that this magnificent volume is every thing that
the admirers of the great Leighton can desire.
It only remains , for us to indicate the contente,
viz.: The Life; Commentary on Peter; itedits

tions of the Creed, Lord's Prayer, Command
ments, and Catechism; Theological Lectures ;
Addresses in ',the University; Treatise, on Mod-,

The cause of truth is like a fortress assailed
from different points, by a watchful, relentless,
and'• unprincipled enemy. At one time one bas
tion is assaulted, and the prowess of the defend.
era is tested at that point. The assailants driven
back, ere long the trumpet is heard leading on
the attack against another point, and thither the
defenders, have to assemble and repel the foe.
So the, contest rages. At one time Astronomy,
at another Chronology, then again Geology, and,
later still, Ethnology have been the towers on
which the assaults of skeptics have been made.
The work before us is a noble defence—it is more
—it is a total overthrow of the enemy in the last
assault on the subject of the " Unity of the
Race." Let infidelity carry this point, and the
Gospel as we have it in the Bible, is worthless,
for it proceeds on the prinoiple,of Headship 7 the
.Chureh'e-liesdship.in Christ,. aid, the Head/hip
of ouruwee in Adam. The author:is well Mu&

We have already commended the two volumes
of this great Biographical Thesaurus, which Dr.
Sprague dedicated to the Congregational Minis

in connexion with the two equally ponderous vol.
mines which contained the Memories of Presbyte

equally large and judicious work on the Ministry
of the Episcopalian Church in America. The
biographies in this volume number one hundred
and fifty-two, and they are quite equal in interest
to those of the previous volumes. We miss some
names which we had expected to have found on
these pages, but we doubt not that other readers
would urge a similar feeling in reference to those
whom they reverence for their gifts and useful.

Four Volumes. Vol. IL, 12m0., pp. 556. New
York: Harper 4 Bros., Franklin Square. 1858.
This volume brings the history and biography
down till May 1740. We have 'already adverted
to the general character of this work, and in ref
erence to the volume before us, we have only to
say, that in.style and sentimentit bears the fami
ly Carlylean likeness. In this life of Frederick,
the . author evidently feels himself at home. The
subject is one that eminently suits his peculiar
genius, and the amount of erudition that he dis
play; connected with the personages and events
which come under his notice, is truly wonderful.
In a short parentheses of a few words, rudely
thrust into a sentence where no one exrcted a
break in the narrative, he will give as it were the
contents of volumes. Thus in a few words a chair
eater is sketched, a region of country described,
and bymeins of this rough and uncouth, rugged
but most tolling and attractive diction, the reader
is enchained to the work, and fascinated as by a
spell. The public will wait with much expectan
cy for the appearance of the remaining volumes.

We are inclined to think that this is the most
important work which bag ever been published in
any land, on the , fearful demoralization which
prevails in large cities. The subject is one which
demands constant attention on the part of all
those who, as members of City Councilsi, Mayors,
and Pollee Magistrates, have to ilo with the ad
ministration of justice or civic duties in large
tonne. It bears directly on the property-holder,
on the Labor question, on Public Health, and in
Cities such as London,. Liverpool, and New York,
it rises up into,an importance of most distressing
and ominous character. We do not desire to en
ter at any great length into the subject of the
book. &i.e. Report, it is well and clearly, written.
The information giyen is most valuable relative
to the prevalence of this vice, and the 'horrors
that follow in its train. Truly the way of the
transgressor is hard, as this telling volume demon
strates. To all persons in authority, or connected
with the management of Charitable Institutions,
this book will be a valuable acquisition.

The Ecclesiastical History of New England, by

Churches Being scarcely attainable, in conse

the Counoillors of the Backus Historical Society
resolved to republish it, and as a fitting introduc

volume was resolved on. There is a decided
propriety in giving a well written and digested
work to the community, on the period when an
author lived,'before issuing any great work from
his pen. This life will be read with much inter

great men were ministering in New England.

We like the appearance of this Nick ; its size,
form, and manner of binding, indicate to ns that
it is a work the scholar and man of taste will
ohoose for the library, and which the Christian
will place on the table for family reading and
spiritual edification. And upon opening the vol
ume, we are not disappointed. The author
is one of the finest scholars, one of the most
acceptable preachers and faithful pastors, and
one, of the most prolifio and graceful writers,
in our Church. And the contents are worthy of
the author. They consist of twenty. sermons on
common topics of . Christian faith and praotioe,
not delivered consecutively, but selected from tho

ministrations of a period extending over several
years. In them, some of the most important
doctrines of the Gospel are discussed and illus
trated with great force, and in the most attrac
tive manner. The great Pauline doctrines, as
held by Presbyterians, are not ignored, but are
presented as the truths which " conduce to the
very lite of the . soul." Of them, the author, in
the preface, says : "My profound conviction of
the verities here proposed, waxes stronger and
stronger, with a corresponding earnestness to
diffuse and impress them." The sermon on " Our
Modern Unbelief." will be read with great in
terest, as a skillfutand masterly presentation of
the characteristics of the infidelity of the present
day, and of the way in which it is to be met
most successfully.
NATURE AND TWO SUFSB.NATURAL, AS VONTIINH.
CONSTITUTING TUE ONE SYSTEM. OF GOD. By
Horace Bushnell. New York : Charlei Scribner.
Pittsburgh : John S. Davison. Pp. 528. 1858
Dr. Bushnell has long had a high reputation
as a close student and vigorous writer. And
although some of his opinions have been regarded
as "theological novelties," as they undoubtedly
are, his writings have been widely read. The
present seems to be the maturest, as it is un
doubtedly the ablest of all his works. The lan
guage is somewhat ambitious,, and some of the
positions taken are not the ones on which many
other able defenders of the truth would have
made their stand, nor will. the orthodox reader
by , any, means .adopt all the sentiments of the
author. But notwithstanding these defects, ,this
at an abl@pgnft ?& uppmss~fii " vabdioatton of lire GO's 7
pel history, and the claims of. the Christian, reli
gion against the prevailing forms of infidelity.
It is an•able and phildsophical verification of the
iupernatural facts of • the Gospel history, against
the bald and skeptical Naturalism now so rife in
educated eirolee, and pioduetive of such fearful
evils to many. The great object is to show upon
philosophical principles, and, from the indications
of nature, that the Christian salvation is a Divine
work, "both in the matter of Christ's mission;
and in the inward application of it to the soul."
It will be seen from this that the. author is grap
pling with the most giant form-of unbelief now
prevalent, ana which has for its followers some
of the ablear, as well as. some of the moat ma
lignant opponents of the glorious Gospel. The
systems of Spinoza, of flume, of Modern Pan
theism, of that arch-infidel Strauss, of Unitarian
lam, and of Parker, are examined and 'confuted.
And no where else will the general reader find a
fuller or more distinct statement of these and
ether systems of unbelief, while the refutations
here given are eminently suggestive of lines of
argument different from that pursued by the
author. Pastors and intelligent Christians should
examine these errors, that they may be able to
meet and overthrow them, for in some form or
other they are to be found in almost every neigh.
borhood owing to the presence of some errorist,
or to the circulation of some semi infidel news

Tower of a- Wife's . Love.
We find a touching and remarkable exam
ple of the power. of a wife's tenderness, in a
record of the life of William Smith, late a
Senator of the United States from South
Carolina. Judge Smith having recently de
ceased, the incident we refer to, appeared in
a biographical sketch in one Of the papers;
and, we insert it in the Presbyterian Mag
azine in a somewhat condensed form.
William Smith was elected a judge, in
the place of Judge Trezevant, who had died
the February preceding. He was President
of the Senate when elected, and was a law
yer in the full tide of successful practice in
the Middle, now called the Northern Cir
cuit
He was born in North Carolina, but when
or where, I have been unable to ascertain.
He migrated to South Carolina, and settled
in York District, when very young , and
poor.
He was educated in part, probably by the
Rev. Mr. Alexander, the able teacher and
minister of the Presbyterian faith, at Bub
lock's Creek, and finished his course at the
Mount Zion College, Winnsborough. While
at Mr. Alexander's school, he met with Gen
eral Jackson as a schoolmate, and no doubt,
when the two noble Romans met at Wash
ington, tut President of the United States,
and Senator from South Carolina, they met
as friends in early life, and friends in all the
fierce political strife's to which our country
had been and was then subjected.
At thirty years of age, Mr. Smith began
the study of law, and as three years was then
the prescribed term of study for the gradu
ate of a college, he must have been thirty
three years of age when admitted to the
Bar.
He represented his early life to an intimate
friend-.---Col. Thomas Williams, formerly of
York, now of Montgomery, Alabama—" as
wild, reckless, intemperate, rude, and bois
terous' yet resolute and determined."
He had the rare blessing to win the love
of one of the purest, mildest, and best wo
men, whose character has ever been presented
to the writer. He married Margaret Duff.
"In his worst days she never upbraided him
by word, look, or gesture, but always met
h:m as if he was one of the kindest and best
of husbands. This course on her part hum.
bled him, and made him weep like a child."
This• sentence, it is hoped will be remem
bered, was the language of Judge Smith to
the friend already named, and to those who
knew the stern, unbending public , character
of the Judge, it will teach a lesson of 'how
much a patient woman's love can accomplish.
He was at last reformed by an instance of
her patient love and devotion, as he himself
told it.
The evening before the return day of the
Court of Common Pleas for York District, a
client called with fifty notes to be put in suit.
Mr. Smith was not in his office—he was on
what is now fashionably called a spree, then
a frolics. Mrs. Smith received the notes,
and sat down in the office to the work of is
suing the writs and processes. She spent
the night at work—Mr. Smith "in riotous
living." At daylight on his way home from
his carousal, he saw a light in his office, and
stepped in, and to his great surprise saw his
amiable wife, who had just completed what
ought to have been his work, with her head on
the table and asleep. His entry, awoka her.
She told him what shelled done, and showed
him her night's work—fiftg Writs and pro
ceases. This bowed the strong man; "he
fell on his knees, implored her pardon, and
then and there faithfully promised her never
to drin,k another drop while he lived."
"This promise," says my friend Col. Wil
liams, ." he faithfully kept;" and said the
Judge to him, "from that day, everything
which I touched turned to gold." " His
entire success in life," says Col. Williams,
"he set down to his faithful observance of
this noble promise."
No better eulogy could he pronounced on
Mrs. Smith than has just bean given in the
words of her distinguished husband. The
reformati on of such a man as William Smith
is a chaplet of glory which few women have
been permitted to wear.—Presbyteria n kag

The Pride That Apes Humility.
The ceremony of washing the feet of
twelve•poor men by the Emperor of Austria,
.took place in the palace of Vienna, on Holy
Thursday, according to custom. The pro
ceedings commenced with prayer, and were
closed .by a dinner, in which each of the
twelve, men were allowed four plates of meat,
a'dessert, and a pot of excellent wine; each
was besides presented with a suit of clothes,
cut in the style of the middle ages, a small
sum in money, and a pewter goblet, bearing
a suitable inscription. The same e miserly

A Great Gun at Windsor Castle.
On Wednesday, a monster piece of ord

sor Castle, by command of Her Majesty, and
placed on the North Terrace, where it will
be inspedted , by the Prince Consort, and a
suitable eituaq.on selected for its permanent
position. The gun was taken during the
late war, from the Chinese, and brought to
England by the ship Sybil; it is an admira
ble piece of workmanship in brass, and
weighs 7 tons newt. 81b., its length is 13i
feet, girth 7 feet 3 inches, and 12 inches in
the bore. It requires upwards of 30 lbs. of
powder to load it and will carry a ball of
2001 b weight. The value of the brass Rhine
is estimated at between £5OO and £ooo.

Pittsburgh Glass.
At Pittsburgh, the advancement in glass
manufacture bas- gained most rapidly, per
haps, and they now make table glass from
materials much superior to those used even
two years ago, attaining as much brilliancy
as is found in the cut glass of Belgium. ,
At Pittsburgh, the progress of glass man
ufacture has been more marked than else
where, not because it possesses peculiar ad
vantages, but because, by the fortune of
having several enterprising men in the busi
ness at an early day, it attained a high po
sition, which it has been the pride of later
proprietors to keep up. Glass manufacture
began there as early as 1795, and as early
as 1808 it began making cut and flint glass.
There are now two large eatabliahmenta
manufacturing pressed &atm for table use,
the sets of which, on exhibition at the
Franklin Institute, will compare favorably
with foreign cut glass, and are far superior
to the foreign pressed.
The Franklin Institute Committee cor
rectly report the engraving on the ware now
exhibited, to be equal to the French and
German. When the brief period in which
art has been put to such uses .bere is con
sidered, this •excellence becomes no common
merit.
Pittsburgh is justly celebrated for its
03195 manufacture, and its aggregate pro
duetion is not likely to be diminished while
the factories are in the hands of such firms
as those which now enter our market with
glass. equal . to European, in almost every
respect. Mr. Thurston gives the sum of
$2,631,990 as the value of all the glass
made St Pittsburgh in 1857, of which sum
near 'a million and a half was the value of
six thousa.nd three hundred and forty tons
of flint glass, a million and a quarter the
value, of -the -window glass, and the re
mainderbottles and druggists' wares. One
factory produces stained glass to the value of
$10,000.--Phila. North American.
Manufacture of Paper.
'Various substances have been, of late
years, employed as a substitute for rags in
the manufacture of paper. Among these
are different kinds of grass, basswood, and
other articles; but experiments have not
yet been successful in discovering a material
which would obviate the necessity, of relying
upon rags. The importance of the subject
may be inferred from the fact that the eon
suniption of paper in the United States is
about three hundred millions pounds
annually. This amount would be greatly
augmented if paper could be manufactured
cheaper. In this country, brown papers are
extensively used fOr envelopes, wrapping
purposes, &a., and in the manufacture of
these, substances are employed almost un
known in Europe ; straw, the waste from
palm-leaf manufactories, wood-shavings, and
other materials are resorted to. • Besides the
rage gathered at home, the United States
imports them from twentyrsix different
countries, Italy'being the greatest source of
supply--sending us about one-fifth of the
whole amount. The consumption of paper
in this country is equal to that of 'England
and France combined. In France, with
thirty.five millions of inhabitants, only sev
enty thousand tons of paper are prodnced
annnally, of which one•seventh is for ex
portation. In Great Britain, with twenty
eight millions of inhabitants, only sixty•six
thousand tons are produce/ The United
States turn oat some two hundred thousand
tone.

This work wee undertaken at the imggestlon of Dr.

the world at large. The merit of the work is its impartial

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
AND
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. Illane's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports,
THE YERMIF U GE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all
BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK,
HEAD-ACHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Q u i_
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with th e
directions. ,
Their unprecedented popularity
has, induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies, of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense- in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealen3 and Physicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros., will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take fag= but Dr. -1174nes, prepared. by
_Fleming Bros. Pitasbeengh.„ Its. To those wishing to give
them a trial, we will for Ward per malt, post paid, to any
part of the United. States, one box of .Pilla for twelve
three-cent postage stamps, or one vial of Vermifuge for
fourteen threecent stamps. All orders" from Canada mud
