This is deoidedly one of the freshest, most spir
ited, and mast interesting to the general reader,
of our many exchanges. Nor is it afraid to let it
be known, that while it professes to be only a
seoul ar paper, it is at the enure time the unflinch•
ing advocate of pure morality and true religion.
We wish Its editor and his assistants every success
in securing the patronage they mei it.

N'Lane's Vermifuge.
FLEEING BROS. SOLE PROPRIETORS
No remedy ever Invented has been so successful
53 the great worm mediotne of De. pre•
pared by Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh. All who
have used it have been equally astonished and de
lighted at Its wonderful energy and efficacy. To
publish all the testimo lie's in its favor would fill
volumes; we must therefore content ourselves
with a brief abstract of a few of them.
Japhet 0. Allen, of Amboy; g•tve a dose to a
child six years old, and it brought away eighty
three worms. Ile soon after gave another dose to
the same child, which brought away fifty more,
making one hundred and thirty-three worms in
about twelve hours.
Andrew Downing, of Gra.nbury Township,
Venango County, gave his child one tea-spoonful,
and she passed one hundred and seventy-seven
worms. Next morning, on repetition of the dose,
she passed one hundred and thirteen more.
Jonathan Iloughman, of West' Union, Park
03unty, la., writes that he is unable to supply
the demand, as the people in his neighborhood
ray, after a trial of the others, th•tt none is equal
to Dr. M'Lane's Vermifoge.
Messrs. D. & J. W. Colton, of Winchester, Ind.,
happened last Spring to get some of this Fermi
fuge. After selling a few bottles, the demand
became so great for it that their stook was soon
exhausted. They state that it has produced the
best effect wherever used, and is very popular
among the people.
Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.
M'LANE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, manu
factured by FLEMING BROS., of Pirrentraau,

also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at
all respectable drug stores. None genuine without

By the Canada we have the following impor
tant foreign news.
The session of the French Legislature was opened
on the 7th inst. with an important speech from the
Emperor. The-Emperor referring to the existing ag
itation, stated that it was excited without any appa
rent and imminent danger, and after expressing re
gret at the disquietude, and pointing to his peaceful
pulley as a proof of his moderation, he proceeded to
speak as follows :—"To-day it is my dutylo explain
again what you appear to have forgotten. What
have ever been my &allege to re-assure Europe, to
restore France to her true rank among nations, to
cement closely the alliance with England, and to
regulate with the continental powers the extent of
our relations according to and in conformity with
our views, and the relation towards France was in
that spirit; that on the eve , of my third election, I
made at Bondeaux the declaration that the Empire
was for peace. Anxious to prove by that expression
that, although the heir of Napoleon I had ascended •
the throne, he would inaugurate a system which
could only be disturbed for the purpose of defending
great national interests. With respect to the alliance
with England, I have aged all my perseverance to
strengthen it, and found a happy reciprocation of
sentiment on the part of the Queen, and of states
men of every shade and opinion, also, to attain that
end so valuable to the pence of the world, have I
thrown aside all opportunities of renewing an arbi
trary remembrance of the past—the caluminoue at
tack dictated_ by. prejudieer. and even by the natural
antipathy of my country. This alliance has borne
its fruits. Not only have we acquired together a
lasting glory in the east, but at the extremity of the
world we have just opened an immense empire to the
progress of civilization and the Christian religion.
I shall remain firm and invulnerable in the path of
right and justice, and national honor, and my gov
ernment will not allow itself to be either led away
or intimidated, because my policy will never be either
provocative' or pusillanimous. Far be it' from us,
then, these unjust suspicions—these interested ap
prehensions. ranee, I hope, will not be disturbed.

daughter of Win. McConnell, formerly of Juniata
County, Pa., in the 25th year of her age.
DIED—In Dayton, Ohio, on the 12th of Febru
ary, 1859, of pneumonia, Wm. MoGuarsy STEW
ART, son of Dr. W. W. and Mary McG. Stewart,
aged 8 years, 9 months, and 22 days.
The deoeaaed was a child of rare promise. Ae
was the light and joy of the little family circle
whence he was taken. But God wanted him, and
removed him to that better home, where he is
now engaged in singing the praises of him, "who
gathereth the lambs with his arm and carrieth
them in his bosom."
Drart—At Landieburg, Pa., Feb. 19th, Mr.
SAMUEL HOLUM; NIBLOCK, in the 23d year of his
age.
This dispensation of Providence is mysterious.
Mr. lliblook graduated at Jefferson College, last
August. During his last year in College, he, as
we have good reason to believe, became the sub.
jeot of regenerating grace. In October, he en
gaged in teaching, in an Academy at Washington,
Ohio. Just when he seemed to have . fairly en
tered upon a life of usefulness, of which he gave
promise, his earthly career was speedily brought
to attend. But his, sun, went not ,downin dark
ness. His faith. as firm. His hopes were bright.
His end was pose°. At home, where he was best
known, and doubtless wherever he went, he was
much beloved, and his memory will long be kin*
cherished. C.
Dran---On the 19th nit., in Clay 'Township,
Fayette County, Pa., Mrs. &nem GRIFFIN, in the
76th year of her age. -
More than twenty years ago, under the minis.
trations of Rev. J. Stotteroad, the deceased con
nected with the Presbyterian church of Union
town ; into which she was followed, shortly
after, by five daughters, three of whom went to
glory before "her, and two still survive to adorn
their profession. In the character of the de.
parted, the softer graces of Christianity, viz.,
,meekness, patience, humility, submission, Ste•,
shone forth with peculiar lustre. She was "an
Israelite indeed." Pending a widowhood of
thirty three years, attended with manifold bodily
infirmities and severe domestic bereavetnent, her
faith never staggered, nor did her patience sag,
her resignation falter, or h r heart yield to fear.
The severest paroxysms of pain failed to extort a
single impatient utterance. The last word, faint
ly quivering on her departing breath, was the
dear name of Jesus ; " then sweetly clasped him
in her arms, the antidote of death." Having
slept in Jesus, she awoke in glory. S.
DlED—Near Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland
County, Pa., on the 19th of January last, Mrs.
ANN GIFFEN, Wife of Mr. John Giffen, aged 42
years, 6 months, and 11 days.
Mrs. Giffen was the mother of ten children,
eight of whom still survive. The youngest was
laid with its mother in the same grave. At the
age of seventeen Mrs. G. united with the Preeby-
Wien church of Mt. Pleasant. She was a woman
of good mind ; well informed on various subjects";
of warm affections and kind and benevolent dispo
sition; a devoted wife and mother; modest and
retiring, yet firm and decided in the principles of
her action and the discharge of her duty; she
had a particular regard for the truth, loving it
for its own sake, always speaking it herself, and
abhorring the least_departure from.it in others.
She loved the Sabbath, the sanctuary, and the
Scriptures, the family altar, and the place of
secret prayer. She was constant in her attend
awe upon the means of grace. Her heart yearned
for the salvatioh of her children, and for the uni
versal extension of the Redeeiner's kingdom. In
all that pertain to the cause of Christ As took a
deep and lively interest, carefully watching the
loadings of Providence, and the progress through
the world of Gospel truth. In her illness, which
lasted about three weeks, she was calm and re
signed. No murmur escaped her lips. The prom
ises were precious to her soul, and Jesus was her
friend. In him was all her hope, and on his
almighty tam she lenhed ae she passed away. To
her surviving husband and children; to the church
of which she was a consistent member; to the com
munity in which she lived; and to the world at
large, she leaves the testimony that a Christian
life is the proper assurance of a peaceful death.

After preaching a few weeks very acceptably in
several congregations of the Presbytery, his
health having apparently much improved, he ac
cepted a commission from the Boat d of Domestic
Missions, and labored as a missionary in Minne
apolis, Minnesota, throughout the Winter of 1857

having previously but little more than a nominal
existence, was resuscitated. invigorated, and by
the good providence and grace of Cod, enabled
en his leaving it in the Spring to call a pastor,
under whose efficient ministry it promises to be
come a strong cmgrevtion. But his work was

sight ;" BO let it seem in ours. J.

DIED—On the 6th of February, 1859, of pul-
monary diiease, in Derry Township, Miss ELIZA.
JANE BELL, aged ntput 31 years.
The deceased made a profesion or religion when
very young, having connected with the Unity
Presbyterian church when it was under the pas.
toral care of Rev. Peter Haesinger. She has ever
been reckoned, among the most humble, zealous,
exemplary, and useful members of the church.
As a Sabbath School teacher, as a warm friend
and supporter of missions, and in her charity to
ward all Christians, her benevolence to the poor,
and her upright, watchful, prayerful life, and in
her patience, and entire resignation to the will of
God dttrinOer last sickness, and her peaceful,
happy and triumphant death, her piety shone with
a steady brightness and heavenly lustre, which is
not often surpassed here, in this imperfect state.

This Memoir will he fund to be of surpassing interest,
and will be eagerly read, not only by the numerous friends
of Dr. Baker, but by Christians of every denomination.
Probably no man, since the days f Whitedeld, has had' so
many seals to his ministry; for at least twenty thoneand
souls were converted under his preaching, many of whom
are now engaged in the same blessed labors.
To this volume we can give our most cdrdial commenda
Bon. It le the Ilfoetory of one of the. most remarkable
ministers our.Charch or country has produced, told with a
vivacity and interest which scarcely flags from beginning
to end. Dr. Baker was eminently sus gener!s. He was like
nobody Bin, and nobody else can he like him. The volume
is made ' up, to a /ergo extent, of an autobiography, pre•
pared at the request of lliS children, and of letters, for the.
.most part, to his family. In the letter, he pours out' his
warm heart without reserve; and' a more cheerful, happy
spirit we have never seen. Ms soul was al ways alive to
his great work. The love of Christ was an absorbing pas
mon, and the-g'ories and bhesednees of heaven the topic of
his highest delight. Mingled with the deep. strong current of
glowing piety which rune through'every page, is a vein of
playfulness and artiest humor which may once in a while
give the reader a right good laugh. For variety . of incllent
end wirenture, It has no equal in our ministerial biography.
I With such at . rectione, and la the haodsome style,
and at
the very 11 price at whi. it id offered. it should have a
very large circulation. It will be read with satiefaction and
profit by Christians of every 'temp.—Presbyterian
Brethren in the ministry t Christian Mends! if any of
you have not the Lite of Dr. Baker, get it as soon as PNI
can, and—l will not say read it, for read it you will, if
once you get it in 'your heeds.—The Presbyter ciachiwati.
We venture the assertion, that no sack freitihl ministry
is recorded in the annals of our .modern American pulpit;
and also the prediction that this Memorial of the ltfe and
labors of Daniel Baker will, ere ten years are past, be re
garded as among the meet wonderful records of the power
of Divine grace since the days of Whitefield and Jonathan
Edwards. It has .fascinated the writer of this article
Christian Znidifgencer.
We have In this volume the record of a man to whom, as
Oars instrument, lawyers, and judges, Epie:opal bishops,
and Baptist preachers, trace their conversion; 'who, with
large salaries bad nothing over, and with little ones no
lack; who talked' to everybody, as opportunity offered,
about religion ; who, whether in Texas, Georgia, Virginia.
or elsewhere, always had his labors blessed with the most
manifest revival idilleTl43B.—Te xas Christian Advocate.
