This is a very neatly , got up edition of a most
important work. The Confession and Catechism
should be in every Presbyterian family ; and
should be given away to the extent of tens of.
thousands, for the dispelling of the darkness
which blinds the minds of multitudes even of
those who are admitted to be Evangelical Chris.

that it does not present the Proof Texts., - . Ref
erences are given, tut the actual-words should be
quoted. Fifty persons would rend Aem dins,
where but one will take the time and trouble to
turn to the passages in the volume of Scripture.
They ought also to be put up, many of them in

that- the writer did not take up in connexion

elucidate the principles which ought never to be

We have seen many gorgeous annuals from
year to year, sparkling in gold and adoxtied with
the highest efforts of pictorial art; but anything
more ` truly superb than this "Lays of
_the Holy
Land," we conceive it to be not easy for taste
wealth, and genius to produce. The paper is
heavy, tinted, and glazed. The illustratione,
sixty4l)re° in number, are the productions of the
highest talent among the painters and • engravers
of Great Britain. The typography is from the
celebrated
,press - of the 'Messrs. Clark of Edirt-,
burgh; while the binding disidays the perfection
of stYli to•Avhich this departmentpf `trade is 'car
ried in London ; and the selections, amounting to
two hundred and ten lays, present the choicest,
specimens of poetic merit. This will be evident
to our readers, when we indicate the names of a '
few of the writers whose_works bare been laid,
under contribution in the preparation of this
unique and magnificent volume. Among , a host'
of others, we find that Heber, Milman, Ro
mans, Neble, lionar, Montgomery, Willis, Hogern,
Tappan, Cowper, and Whittier, occupy prominent
places. American writers are made to stand out
consiietionsly beside'their British brethren, and
thus the
_work is eminently fitted tor_ circulation
on both' sides , of the Atlantic. The publishers
deserve great'credit for their liberality and spirit
in offering slioh a gem to the community.

and to our mind one of its most Effectual recom

The general character of the .:revival in their

much earnestness, and we hope that it may long

Reminiseemes of the LatSs Dr. W. Wylie.
DR. AlaKnivEy :—I see in the Banner
and - Advocate, of. the • nth alt., some'very
intereSting reminiscences - of the aged and
deceased ministers who were in the Synod'
of .Pittsburgh thirty• years ago. . This. I
lilte:,to see; for thetmemory of sainted"
pioneers, and 'their immediate suacessors,
aught.to be cherished. by us. -
Though •we have already, been favored,
from a gifted :writer, with a somewhat ex
tended notice of ,the life_ and labors of the
late Dr. Wylie, who was a member of the.
Synod of Pittsburgh more than, half a cen
tury ago, yet have thought, that to some
of your readers, at least, an additional notice
might not be wholly uninteresting.
In Newark, Ohio, where he spent the
last twenty, three years of his active service
his memory will be long eherishedi, and it
may be said of his influence here, "though.
dead, be yet speaketh."
I shall not attempt any thing coricesning
this great and good man, except to tapish
some extracts from letters in my possessron,
from those who have bean s intimate with
him for years. The Rev. 11. Hervey, of
Martinsburg, Ohio, and neighbor to Dr.
Wylie, during the whole of his pasterate in
Newark, says : "My first, acquaintance with'
him was while I was at Jefferson College.
He preached in the College - Hall one after--
noon. My first impressions of him as a
preacher were, that he bad more than usual
power over a common audience.
"One-of his appeals in that discourse
still remember. He was describing the
downward progress of the sinner to his'final
low abode. He commenced the sentence
with the, hand highly elevated, with the Id,
terance of;the word down, which he repeated
three times, with the lowering hand, and
with a greatly increased emphasis, of a voice
TAU was capable of . ,great force, so as to
make it almost appear , that one could seethe
opening pit, and the lost descending intp
it."
H. e
"wass capable of large and lofty con
ceptions..' Imagination was perhaps the most
strongly marked feature of his mind. This,
connected with strong feeling and an easy
command of language, gave him unions'
Tower of description, and consequent• control
over the passions of his hearers. The ardor
of his piety seemed to be above the common
cast. In prayer he seemed to .riee to high
familiarity with. God, and, with Moses, to
speak, with him face to face, as , a ,umn does
with his friend. His sermons were not:dis
tinguished for logical accuracy, or teaching
power, so much as pathos and isapression,
Communion seasons seemed to be fit oppor
tunities for the exercise orhis descriptive
powers. His soul, apparently overflowing
with love and gratitude, in these near views,
whioh the emblems of a crucified Saviour
were fitted to, produce, gave "utteranceto it
self, often, in melting deseriptions. On
these occasions, as in . Synodical meetings,he
seemed' to love to speak."
" loyed to preach, and 'his physieal
strength'enabled him to do it with little fa
tigue, and sustained him to old age, enabling
'him to perform pulpit labors beyond the
time of life, when most men fail.
"The last time I lodged with hini, iu
Newark, be and his wife were living alone,
she more feeble, at the time, than , he. His
son, Joseph Smith—so called from his grand
father, of well-known memory as an efficient
Gospel pioneer of Western Pennsylvania—
a very respectable young 'minister, and 'his
only son, was gone to his reward ; .his-other
children were removed ; or. dead. Things,ap
peered , as if, the sun of brighter days was
declining to his resting place, and the even
ing twilight was approaching."
.. Mr. H. 'speaks, of his trip to Mississippi,
the substance of which was in the no-
Moe of him, a few weeks since.
In October 1855, Dr. W. visited . Newark,
and spent about a *reek. On the Sabbath,
(which was, with his old charge, COMMU.,
nion Sibbath,) he, preached, sitting in his
chair elevated 'in the front of the pulpit;
and in the afternoon, aided in the adminis
tration of the ordinance oPthe

I.now give, almost entire, a letter from
Rev. Dr. H. It Weed,'--of Wheeling, Va.,
in answer to made respecting the
deceased. He gape : •
"I duregard the fact of its being so or
dered in Providence that Dr. W.'s last
days were spent among us, as, being
,signifi
cant: that be was sent as a witness, to us,
and through us to others, for ,God, of the
truth, tbe power, and preciousness of the
G-repel; and now, did "my memory fiirnish
the details according to the generarimpres
sion left upon my mind, it would bd easylto
gather from my many interviews with the
venerable and lovely man, a small voluMe of:
testimony, that would be most interesting-
and impressive. But I cannot trust my
memory in the attempt to report any of his
remarkable sayings or expressions; and 'all
I can do is, in 'a few particulars,to fur
nish some of the characteristics of -is views
and exercises.
“1. Though , entirely confined , to his sick
chair,. or his couch, and-though, from the
infirmities of four score years, and 'from the'
injuries he bad received, his sufferings must'
!_have been 'great, and various; and though.
his confinement ,was so,long continued; ,yet,
be was , always cheerful, never impatient
or peevish, and spoke little of his ailments,-
but much of the love ofGod, and of the in
' effable consolations llOwing •from the riches
of Divine grace, abounding•to the chief of
sinners.
2. His ea.pressions were habitually
characterized by a childlike humility, and
`by f, filial confidence in - God, as his Father
and Redeemer,.., He seemed to enjoy. the
grace of asaurance, in a high degree, and
without intermission.
«3.- Re was favored with most exalted
views- of the infinite perfections of God,
and the,transcendant gloriof the Lord Jesus
Christ. These were the favorite and ab
sorbing‘tbenets of his discourse.
i‘ The Gospel was confirmed in his expe
rience as a manifestation of' the mercy of
God. Jt made him, in despite of all things
else to the contrary, eminently a happy man
and .a joyful sufferer. No one could be
long in bis presence without feeling the dem
onstration of the Divinity of the Christian
religion.
. "5. His,social feelings continued in vig•
orous exercise, and he greatly enjoyed the
visits of Christian friends.
P. 6. Any token of remembrance or con•
tribution to his comfort from absent friends,
awoke the `airiest expressions of joy and
gratitude.
"7. He was deeply exercised at times
with anxious desires, for the revival of re.
ligion, and.the salvation of sinners
"Finally, his dase - waia practical refuta
tion of the charge so often reiterated, thit
Oaltlnistic views of Theology are adverse to
ci4erful and joyous experience; that they
sour the heart, and overhang, the mind with
gloom ; yet these were thoroughly his views,
andit was from these he derived his richest
and sweetest-enjoyments. I will only add
that he seemed, to, us all as verily I a good
man, and 'full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith." • s;

HORICON
There is .a village of this name in Dodge
County, Wisconsin whose antiquities and
religions history commendit to an interested
attention. It lies - o,n
,the La Cross Railroad,
at the. point of its crossing the Rook River,
fiftrmiles trent Milwaukie. - Nine or ten
years since, tile Whole region was called the
Winnebago Swamp; Met thefirst pieniers
threw a dam across the river, and the con
sequence has been the setting' back of a
beautiful lake, some eighteen miles long by
seven broad, and the securing of a fine
water-power at this point, which is now the
basis of it - growing and prosperous village. -
The country - was at this time full of In
diens; and we were lately told, by good
authority, (ilfr, Juneau, late of Milwaukie,)
that there were not less than thirty thousand
of them between this- 'point and Lake
Winnebago, twenty-eight miles Northward.
They occupied-both sides of Rock River,
and being of different tribes, were frequent
ly at war. -
Some six years ago the last of these tribei
was removed, by Government, beyond the.
Mississippi; and of all the wretched race,
you aeldoin new see a remnant, unless it be
some;worthless Muskrat hunter, begging for
liquor, s or a traveling group, perhaps, mourc
fully moving along on ponies, to bear the
remains - • of some deceased Cliief down to
their burying-ground, four miles below.
The present, aspects of- this village are, as
we have already 'said, prosperous and prom
ising—seme one thousand inhabitants, per-
haps, with a rich country around—busy and
enterprising, rejoicing in-school-houses and
churches, mills; and; Railroad privileges, and
all the usual appearances of an' infant, but
growing. village.: 'But it is imPossible to
visit this place'without thinking' of the Abo
rigines, and more of what it has been than
what it is. I.spenta Sabbath there recent•
ly, and -was struck, as I had often been
before, with, the' abundande of its Indian an
tiquities. - .0f the. ancient, mysterious, and
(if I may so speak,) wahistoried MOUNDS '
there are .more here- than I have seen in
any other place. They, appear in continuous
and lengthened files,. on_ both sides of the
river; and this,when, taken in connexion
withwhat we have been told of the tribal
andd, warlike character of the natives, goes to
confirm a theory I have advanced elsewhere,
that a yortion of these mounds was for mili
tary purposes.
But they are not all of this character.
The usual variety of conical sepulchres, and
the shapes of different animals, abound. I
measured one, manifestly intended for a
lizard, whose length was fifty paces, while
his arms, or' wings, projecting exactly oppo•
site to each other; were fourteen. paces on
either side the head, running rather too far
above' the arms for good proportion, (but
Indians, in their pictorials, never observe
proportions;) was abrupt and large; the
tail gradually running off to a point in the
lower part of the body. Could any one
doubt design, here? Bat what was it ? It
will not answer.
But there are foot-prints here, of . a differ-•
ent race. Ages lie between; but you see
clearly the relies, here, of more rtridern in
habitants. These are. their cornfields ; many ,
of which have no doubt been left by a per
secuted generation, not long since living;
There are acres on sores, on the bluffs and ,
in the.valfies, where the hills of corn appear.
as clearly as in, any farmer's field _of the
last year. The`Preabyterian meetinghouse
stands la the midist of one of these corn
fields. Their appearance is somewhat pecu
liar. The,hilbi do not appear to have been
plaited' in lines; like ours; still they are ,
nearly of e'qnal distances, and more resemble.
this fiveosidedform of 'planting
mentioned in tile Georgics of Virgil. They
are_ from a_ look to fifteen inches high, and
seem .alwayek •to have been planted on the
same spot; so that the soil, though naturally
rich, is nearly 'exhausted.
• Here is room for many' suggestions; but
insagination •prevails; ,and .I.seem to see,
in. _dim. and remote distance, an intereit
ing: picture—a rural and well disposed pee
p* peace among themselvea , ;,
unknown, and undisturbed, living on-game,
and•the abundant. fish which these waters
still afford . ;.. while,• for the delicacies and
desert of ,their tables, the sgaws dig these
hills, andriiise the luscious corn, from gen.
eini.ion to generation. What have we, done
to . compensate these children of the forest,
for a loss of happineas like this ? . Blads-
Hatek"ituld WI a part of the story, the rest
must rert4in nail the judgment.
Thus far, gr. Editor, I have spoken only
offsets, in connexion with this village, and
twill 'not, in this communication, venture
farther.' There is, however, one inquiry
which I have 'often made, as to the name of

sought in vain, of late, for the confirmaticn
of this authority; and will take occasion to
say, here, that if any of your numerous
readers through you, tell me where
this authority can be found, they will confer
a great obligation.
Now for my explanation. I have thought,
putting all these circumstances together, and
what I have been told of both the Horicons,
that they were one people ; and that the
Western has derived its name from the
Eistern.
Here is ground for a Legend, not alto

DR. M'LANE'S
CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
ANT)
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to call the atten
tion
n 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. Ti'Lane's Celebrated
Verrnifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFITGE,
For expelling- Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms._
VIE LI VER PILLS,
For the cure of LrVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-A.CILE, &C. In cases of
FEVER AND tiGT.JE I ,
preparatory to or after taking Qtu
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 the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH,. PA.
to dispose of their Drug busine.ss,
in which they liave 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.'Larie's Cele
brated. Venn:lft' zge 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
FLEKING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from otherS
than Fleming Bros., vat, do well to write their orders
distinctly, and take none but Dr.'lrDtittei, prepared by
Y/stning Bros. Pitteburgh,'Pa.• To,those toddling to give
them a trial, we whl forward per mail, puss paid, to any
part of the United States, One . boi. of Pills for 'twelve
three•cent postage stamps; or one vial of Vermifuge for
fourteen three-cent stamps. Aberdare from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.

DRS. FITCH & SYKES would state that their treatment
of Consuniption is based upon the fact tbatthe disease exist::
in the blood and system at large, both before and during its
development in the lungs, and they therefore employ lie
chanical, Hygienic and Medicinal remedies to purify the
blood and strengthen the system. With these they use
Medicinal Inhalations, which they value highly, but only es
palliatives, (having no curative effect ,when need alone,) and
Invalids are earnestly cautioned against wasting the precleut
time of curability on any treatment based upon the pistol
bie, but false idea that the "seat of the disease Gin be
reached in a direct manner by Inhalation," for as hems.,
stated, the seat of the disease is in the blood and its effects
only in the lungs.
