New York : D. Appleton •• Co.. Pitts burgh: Jan a Davison. 1859. Herodotus, "the father of history," has been long a subject of study and investigation by scholars and historians, and more than half a dosen Eglish translations have been published, but no other edition is to be compared with the present. The late discoveries in the ethnography of the East, and in the history, geography, phil osophy, and religion of Babylonia and Assyria, have contributed their rich results to this trans lation, and every thing that the ripest scholar ship, the most profound "research, the moat un wearied industry, and the most correct taste can do for the student and reader, is to be found here. Those eminent oriental explorers, Sir Henry ,Lawrence and Sir Gardner Wilkinson,. have as sisted greatly in bringing the work to its present state of perfection. The omlssion'or modification of a few passages, a literal translation of which would not have been suitable for the family or the school, makes the whole a valuable acquisition to any library.

The writer purposes to give a few sketches of New England history, relating to the last half century. They might properly be entitled, "My Own Times, " for I was born and have lived in New ngland more than half a century. The early settlement of this part of our country is %ell-known to have been Puritani cal. They early took measure to establish " Free Schools," that "learning might not be buried in the graves of the Fathers." These schools, fifty years since, were pecu liar. The old school house, situated in the North East corner of the town, at a crossing where two ways met, was fifteen by twenty feet. It was clap-boarded outside, and plas tered inside. The windows were of glass panes, six by four inches; the chimney in one end, large enough to receive a oord-wood stick of four feet in length, affording ample ventilation to the room; the benches, three in number, extending the length and width. of the room on three sides, the fourth ocou pied by the capacious chimney just named; in front of these writing desks, as they were called, were the seats for the small children,•and those back of them, for the larger scholars: The fires were built alter nately by the larger boys, and the school, house swept by the larger girls in the aa~'ne M2ES=I=M M=!!!= ratio. 'When :the liltle urchins moved in front of the writipg desk, as they.generally did, the Whole desk was joggled, so that the writers made all kinds of characters. The window.shutters were"of rough boards, re trembling those of more modern date in Philadelphia, only they, were unplained, and never painted The door-step was an un hewn rock, laid slanting, so as to carry off the water from the door, and when icy, to trip up the pupils. The outside of the building was never painted, but in one in stance, in another part of the town, and this always went by the name of the red school house. There was a vast contrast between those school-houses and these of ,modern times. Now we have palaces instead of theme little shant,ys, or shanties as fibula may choose to spell it. Then, too, the masters (and they were properly called masters, for they followed the proverb of Solomon, "he that spareth the rod, spoileth the child,) were chiefly imported from Connecticut for the rest of Now England, like Connecticut nutmegs and wooden clocks. They had a sniattering,of knowledge iu arithmetic and grammar, and could read English.. There were no School Committees in those days, its.now. The minister.(Congregation ;dist, but called by all other denominations, Presbyterian,) noted as Committee, " ap. probated " the teachers, and visited all the schools. Never shall I forget 'the moral lectures he used to give us,' differing widely from the transcendental homilies of modern times. He would take lip, for instance, the subject of lying, and as he reiterated the Bible declaration that " all liars should have their part in the lake • that burneth with fire and briinstone," and pointed out the rueful consecluences of moral obliquity, both temporal and eternal, the attention of every eye was riveted upon the old 'man, who seemed a kind of connecting link be tween angels and men. The moral send - mental lessons of the present day are tame, indeed, when compared with the good old Gospel morality of those days. The school books of these days were few, consisting of the Bible or Testament, Noah Webster's spelling book and grammar, jede dial Morse's geography, the third part for a'reading, book, and Dilworth's. arithmetic. These were the sum total of 'the 'sohool books, and the master only had an 'arith metic. .Every teacher had not then learned that he must make a school book, and rival . publishers to bribe teachers and the clergy to introduce their book. The "Dictionary war" was then uoknown, and no book of the kind was heard of, Save John son's, or Perry's. The pupil; as he trudged to school Some mile or two, uphill and down .dale, through woods and snow banks, was not compelled to carry his arms full of books, and to divide his attention between some dozen studies at , once, so as to get but a "smattering" of any. Yet the boys and girls of threw days (for there were both boys and girls then, while now there are neither,) were better, far better versed in, all the substantials of a useful education than they are at,present. They were better readers, better'arithmeticians, and far better penmen than can be found now. This declaration may seem humiliating to those who have latterly found so many royal roads to knowledge, and made the task of ascending the "hill of science" so easy that their books, many of them, at least—may be char acterized as "simplicity simplified." in penmanship, especially, .did they so far ex cel those of this day, that this so desirable accomplishment may now be classed - among the " lost arts." , A sohoolnaster, then, too, was somebody. True, he "boarded round ;" that is, a week or a day at a place, in proportion to the, quota of pupils furnished ; or was bid oft at the district Meeting, by the one who would board him the cheapest. But neither of these, on the whole, was a very bad plan, as the former enabled him to see and become acquainted with the' parents And his pupils, and, Moreover, to see the young ladies at . home, (which is often important,) and the latter to exhibit how well the pater familias ciiiild keep 'him' at a 'minimum price. The spelling schools of those days, too, were worthy of note, . There are no such in these modern times. ' To these, of course, the small children did not edam. It was only for those hoys and girls who were in their teens, and who were old enough to enjoy and appreciate "a good time." Many a time has the writer enjoyed "a school of this kind, where the pupils ",chose sides,", and sat opposite each other, like the armies of Napoleon and Wellington, in formidable array, till one or the other was vanquished, for Missing more words than the conquerors. Those Were halcyon sohools, never to return' to the pupils of these modern times. The Summer schools of those. days, too, were worthy of notice; for, let it be remem bered, the masters taught but two or three months, (as the money, held out,) in the Winter. Then all the boys who were old enough to be cabin boys, to hoe potatoes, rake hay, or be in any way useful to their parents, were away from those ancient halls of science; and, instead of a master and the large scholars, there was a school maim and the small children, both male and fe male. This Summer school was usually twice as long as that of the Winter. Here, again, is a wonder; that !schools classified to suit all ages, from the full . grown pupil down to the lisping A ,B C clarion, keeping the whole year, and taught by' the best instructors, should not be able to make so good^ preficients;in knowledge,- as were then_made by two Months schooling in the Winter, and four in the Summer. Who can explain this 7 'ls it to be ascribed to the present better mode of teaching, to the improvements in school-1 ooks„or to the fact that the human mind is growing brighter, as time grows older ? In my next, I will tell you about the New England Col -1 loges, then and now. SzNnx ior t i e goung. A Very Good Story for Boys. The following incident happened at the famous< old Blue Coat School, London, founded by Edward VI., and still flourish ing: • "It appears that in spite of the small, amount of food allowed, muoh of what was given could not be eaten, more particularly the fat of fresh broiled beef. Now, any one who ate this was equivalent, in our time, to a ghoul, and held in equal detesta tion. Notwithstanding this universality of opinion, it appears there, was one memora. hie exception. , This boy was observed after dinner carefuly to gather up the remnants left at his table, (not many, nor very choice morsels, you may believe,) and, in an es pecial manner, these disreputable morsels, which he would convey away and secretly stow in the settle at his bedside. None saw when he ate them. It was rumored that I he privately devoured them in the night. He was watched, but . no' traces of such mid night practices were discoverable.. Some reported that on leave days he had been seen to carry out of the bounds a large blue handkerchief, ~ full pf something. This, then, must be the accursed thing. Conjeo tura was next at work to imagine how he could dispose of it. Some said he sold it to the beggars. This belief generally pre vailed. He went about moping; , no one spoke to him; no one could play with him; he was excommunicated; put out of the pale of the school. He was too powerful 'a boy to be beaten; but he underwent every mode of that negative•punishmenCiihich is more grievous than many stripes. Still he per severed. At lerigil'he was observed by two" of ~r,:~:~~ THE PRF,OBYTERIAN BANNER AND MWOCATE. schoolleirows, who were' determined to get 'at the seeret, and traced 'him;ene 'leave day for that purpose, to enter Et large, worn-out building, such as there are now in Chancery Lane, let outfto various scales of, pauperism, ,with open door and a common staircase. They slunk in after him, and saw him go up four flights and tap at a wicket, which Was opened by an aged woman, meanly clad. Suspicion was now ripened into certainty; the informers bad secured their victim. Accusation was formally preferred and retri bution was looked for. Mr.. Hathaway, the steward, with that patient sagacity which tempered all his ponduct, determined to in vestigate the matter before he proceeded to sentence. The result'was, that the sup• posed, mendicants, the receivers and pur chasers of the mysterious scraps, turned out to be the parents of the boy, an honest couple come to decay, whom this seasonable . supply bad, in all probability, saved from mendicancy, and that this young stork, at 'the expense of his own good name, had all this while been only feeding the old birds. The governors, on this occasion, much to their Mina r, voted relief to the family and presented him with a'silver medal." Rothiiig'Fii ished. , I mice had the curiosity— to leak into a a little girl's work box. And what do you arippoii I found 7 Well,' in the first plabe, I found - a " bead purse," about half done; there Was, 116W:ever, no prospect 'of its ever being finished, for the needles were Out, and the silk upon the spools all tangled and drawn into 'a complete wisp. Laying „ this aside, I took Alp a nice piece of perfor ated paper,"upon which was wrought one lid of a Bible, and beneath it the words, " I love," but what she loved was left for me to conjecture. Beneath the Bible lid I found a sock, evidently cerniiienced for some baby-foot; but it had come to a stand just upon the little heel, and there it seemed doomed to remain. Near to the sock was a needle-book, one cover of which was neatly made, and upon, the other, partly fin ished, was marked, " my dear " I need not, however, tell you all that I found there; but this much I can say, :that dnring my travels through the work box, I found not a single article complete ; and. mute as they were, these half finished, forsaken things, told me a sad st;ary' abOut that little girl. They told me that, with a heart full of gen erons affection, with a head, full' of usefill and pretty projects, all of which she had both the Means and the skill 0 carry into `effect, she was still a useless child—always doing, but never aecomplishing her Work. , It was not a want of industry ,"but a want of perseverance. Remember, my dear little friends, that it matters but little what great things we undertake. Our glory is not in that, but in what we accomplish. No body in the world cares for What we mean to de; but everybody, will open their eyes bY and-by, to see What men and women and little children have done. Agricultural, Tile Draining. Some thirty years, or more, since, Mr, Johnston, a Scottish fernier without means, purchased a small farm on , the Bast side of Seneca lake, near Geneva, New York. The soil was mainly'clay, and'worn nearly out by the system of Summer fallow wheat.growing, which has long prevailed there, -and quite thoroughl3r reduced the fertility 'of that part of the State. The crops were then ten to fifteen btishels of wheat, and twine that number corn, to the acre. Draining was unheard of, and hisfirst suggestions of it, derived from Scottish , experience, were iidi culed. But he was as obstinate as he was poor, and borrowed money to import samples of drain tilei and commence their Minas° ture for his own use. Their first cost was $24 per thorisand of the cheapest form, and at this price Mr. 'Johnston began system of tile draining in 1838, which was not fin• jibed until 1857, at Which time more than fifty miles of tile drain bad keen laid on his farm, which, however, had grown from about a hundred acres at the outset, to three hundred acres. His crops had during this time increased to sixty, seventy, and as high as ninetylour buihels to the acre of corn, and to an average of forty bushels of wheat in this current year 1859. Ten or fifteen years since, his success had become eels: brated, and for half a dozen years past he has been an authority whom it was regarded as an honor to consult, from' all sections of the Union. ;Such is the magic effect of stubborn perseverance in a course of com. son sense improvement. In this experiment of Mr. Johnston, it has been found nearly as nicessary to.drain lands of irregular surface, and suchais would usually be pronounced quite free from any such necessity as those nearly or quite level. One most important effect would be secured at the South by j.his process, in averting the destructiVe wishing of itplands. Un derdrainage increases the capacity of lands to absorb a profuse rain immensely, and where, in one case,-three-fourths of every profuse rainfall' would be' throivn off the surface, washing away loose soil and fertility at a ruinous rate, in the other not one.fourth the falling , water would be thus thrown off Undercirained 'and deeply cultivated lands will very rarely wash 'at all,-however reten tive the principal element of the soil. A loose drained clay will absorb almost as much as sand` and it is only because an imper vious subsoil resists all deep sinking of rains that the suffuse of clay land's beeCiiies so hard as to retain water.' Yet these are the most prolific in all the ele.xnents of fertility when the excess of water is removed, and When deep cultivation givetrto the_growing crops the requisite access to the bestpirts of 'it. Underdiaining is the only possible means by which this improvement may be effectekand it is as essential here' as in New York, .the quantity of water falling here an nually being, in fact, nearly One.third "More than in the interior of New York, near Geneva. . The.tiles principally 'used by Mr. John aton were two inches in diameter for the bore, of the horseshoe form, and either made with abase or laid on a board. The trenches are first dug two and a half feet deep for the small and lateral drains, andthree feet deep for the main drains, into which others are arranged to fall, and at the bottom no - . wider than is necemsary to lay tile. In Mr. Johnston's own words, " My drains are from ' twenty-seven to forty five feet apart, gener. ally thirty.three feet, but I have never put in any more - than I would do again if k had to do it over, and in, some cases I would put in more. My first error was in patting too small tile in my main - drains, and too large tile . in my lateral drains—two inch tile, or even smaller if they can be obtained, being' enfriCient for lateral drains. I also erred at first in putting ton many drains in my low lands, as it very seldom occurs that the low land is naturally wet, but only wet from the upland. If the upland is thor:. oughly drained, it is seldom indeed that the low land needs more drains than to carry off the Water from the upland drains. The greatest error forlorne years was in not per fectly draining my upland." Mr. Johnston's compact statement of his own disadvantages is also worth copying: " I commencerkunder unfavorable eircumstanaes ; first, for want of funds; next, the tile cost double what they do now, and digging double; ind last; though not least, public opinion Was very much against me. Some would ask me if I was going to put crockery all over, my farm ; - "lome Would tell me they thought my farm liras already too dry, 'anything ; and some of my own countrymen would give ma the iiint'llitte they' latibifirown somci 'drain and otherwise improve their lands so much that they lost theta." With many splendid examples of thorough cultivation near this city, there is still a general neglect of the great advantages of-, fered in the surface, soil', and inset:fable market. The chief cense of unproductive ness is the `neglect of drainage. Will not some of , the more enterprising holders of lands break zround on the subject as Mr. Johnston did in New York, bear the same obloquy, if necessary, and reap the like profits 7 Thouiands were, induced to follow the example we have cited, and the traveler through" Central New, ork will Nee hundreds of hilt sideS and fiat tracts trenched for tile draining where, fifteen. or twenty years ago, the Matt who'had` said that such lands could be so improved, would have been; laughed at. In this latitude there is a great advan tage in the faat'that half the Winter may be:used for such, imiorovements, while in New York no such saving of valuable time is - possible. isallattous.

The history, doctrine, worship, end constitution of the early Church. are traced with great mindor and fidelity, and there is a completeness in the discussion of each, which in dicates not only the research of the scholar, but the accu racy and system of a profound thinker. The evidence upon which Dr Killen bases his conclusions as to the spu riousness of the Ignatian Epistles, seems to us convincing and even overwhelming * a * It is evidently shaped by a mind accustomed to clear, strong reasoning, and defi nite logical expression.—N.

Presbuierion. *His general 'division of the subject is good, the topical arrangement clear, and the style is always dignified and lucid. In tta presentation of the positive theology of the early . Christians. and' of the 'historical argument against prelacy, this work has great merit."—N. Y. indepenacnt. "A. work of research and real learning. The discussion of the question of the Ignatian Rplatlei is thorough; abun dant evidence is brought forward to pr.we that they are utterly spurious, and have no right to a place among the genuine remains of ancient Church literature."---Prub: Banner and ...tdvocale. The Congregatkmalisl says: "It is a fresh, vigorous, and original investigation—which is very valuable on meet sub jects which it treats, but wholly wrong in its attempt to distort Apostolical Christianity into Presbyterianism. Not• tithetanding this, it is in many respects the best mantle' b' far which one can lead, who seeks to know the early Church." "Its style and arrangements are admirable.

WILSON'S PILLS. share thirty of re Raving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be permitted, to say that it haa fallen to the lot of but few persons to. have enjoyed so " . liberal n or fo l r a rg th e e a w obstetrical pteetioe as my own has been or forty years. ' The experience of that long period of active life, and the fact of my having been twice, since 1930, associated with Dr. R. A, Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a period of five years,) enables me to judge fully of the merits of his pills. Bo convenient, iio rfitcientoand yet so safe, did I esteem these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the cure of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of females in particular, I have used more of them than all other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must Sall in some instances, but in my hands there has been less disappointment and mere, satisfaction in the administration of this one remedy than of all others—its good effects sometimes - quite astonishing me 'lf my patient required a safe aperient medicine, either before or after parturition, the. Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted.. If a; dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined with costiveness, Or. inactivity of the liver, constituted the disease of my patient, the pills were. just the thing I 'wanted. . ,If.l treated a case requiring an emmenagogue, the Wil. son's Pills were just the thing I wanted. If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory and secretury'systema, annoyed my patient at the turn of life, the Wilson's Pills were juet the thing I wanted. 'Thus, without respect to the name a disease mighthappen ,wear at the time I have bad it under treatment, particu lar indications or symptoms arising were always most promptly and most happily met by the'Wihron's Pills. That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes ,apparently opposite ones, in which lihave used those pills, should be cured more readily by them than by any other remedy, may at first Seem strange and contradictory, but wlaylt is so t is as clear to my mind as that a great many persons should become thirsty from as many different muses, and yet all require that cdnimon and greatest of all `blessings, water, to quench their thirst. In conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and the public to , say, decidedly and uneOnditionsdly, that the Wilson's TOM are the only combination I have ever met ;within rey long course of practice that really possess any thing curative or specific for sick-headache.
