Gcrrrnoin's Manumit ; or, Invisible Things Un

Christian Striver, Minister of Magdeburg in
1871. Translated from the Twenty. Eighth
German Edition. By Rev. Robert Measles,
Hoddam, England. Pp. 816. Boston: Gould
4. Lincoln. New York : Sheldon it Co. Pitts
burgh : John S. Davison. 1860.
The fine style in which this book is gotten up,
'shows the high estimate placed upon it by its
publishers, Messrs. Gould AO Lincoln, which is
no small Indication of real merit. For after
somewhat long and careful examination of the
publications of these gentlemen, we have came
to the conclusion that their imprint on a book is
a guaranty that it possesses real value. The
present work has been circulated, read, and
'loved in German homes for nearly two centuries.
;Upon its first appearance, its popularity was not
behind that of the beat productions of Luther in
the previous century. The author was a richly
gifted minister of the pure word of God, honored
and admired to a degree almost without a par
411e1 among his countrymen. Not only was his
name dear to the'people to whom he ministered,
but also to all 'who knew his learning, ability,
and piety. The design is to instruct, quicken,
elevate, and purify, the Christian soul, by the
beautiful and suggestive emblems of a wise,
loving, and Omnipotent Creator, from objects in
mature and the scenes in life, met with in our
daily walks. We pity the one that does not feel
more humble, that is net disposed to adore more
reverently his Fabher in heaven, and that has not
increased longings after holiness, when he fin
ishes the perusal of this sweet and soul•refresh
ing volume.

THE DIVINE, HUMAN IN THE SompTimas. By
Tayter Lewis. Union College. Pp. 400. New
York Robert Carter ,t Brothers. Pittsburgh :
John S. Davison. 1880.
The Carters seem never weary of furnishing
feasts of good things for the .intelleot and the
heart. And the name of Professor Lewis on the
title page of this work, assures tie at once of
learning, thought, and argument of no common
order. He takes the ground• that too much de
pendence has been placed in the eiternal
evi
denees of the authenticity and genuineness of
the scriptures, and that too little attention has
been given to the evidences to be found in them
selves by their careful perusal and study.
Therefore he goes into the heart of the Bible,
and be would take the inquirer there also, for
the reliable and unanswerable evidence of its
Divine origin's'. And however necessary the
older works on the 0, B►idenoes " may be for the
refutation and silencing of the infidel, of what
ever grade, and to strengthening the faith of- the
believer, we think that the method of Prof. Lewis,
is to most minds, the beet, most conclusive, most
satisfying, and practically the most effective.
The book is a good one, and can be heartily corn.

of which it treats.

Among the Illinuter Organs and Forms of Ani
mal Life. By Philip Henry Gone,F. R. S.
Pp. 480. New York : D. Ayyleon Co.
Pittsburgh J. S. Davison. 2880.
The object of this volume is to open the path
to the myriad wonders of creation that are hid
den from the unassisted human eye, and most
successfully does it accomplish the purpose In
tended. The wonderful revelations of the micro
scope are among the great and valuable discsoier
ies of modern times, in which all may find both
entertainment and instruction. The work before
us is not a mere compilation, but its staple con
sists of original and correct observation. To
relieve as much as Possible the dryness of techni
-43al description, a colloquial and familiar style has
been adopted, and the author appears as the pro
vider of scientific entertainment and instruction
to a oirole of friends. But in doing, this no pre
cision essential to science has been omitted. And
one very excellent feature is, that the objects se•
looted for illustration, are common things, such
as any one in tolerably favorable circumstances,
may meet with in a year of careful investigation.
No considerable area of the great field of Zool
ogy under the control of the microsoope, is left
untouched, and the attentive student of this vol
ume, will be prepared to extend his independent
researches. The book is a valuable contribution
to useful and popular science.

This is a popular history of the United States,

A Large Gun.
These are the times of invention of • the
weapons of destruction. The French have their
"rifled" cannon, the English their Armstrong
gun, and the Americans must have some
thing. Our folks are accordingly exercising
their ingenuity ; and if size can effect superiority,
they are likely to be first.
The Pittaburgh Gasetie tells of a gun, cast last
week at the Fort . Pitt works :
Seventy eight thousand pounds of metal were
used in the coating, which is four feet two inches
in diameter, and nineteen feet five inches in
length. The work was completed in the space of
about four and a half hours. The metal was
melted-in what are known as reverberatory air
furnaces. The mould was a ponderous structure,
and was placed vertically in a pit prepared for the
purpose. The iron flask weighed thirty-one
thousand pounds, and with the earthen mould,
fifty-four thousand pounds.
This gun was cast hollow, according to an in
vention of Capt. Rodman, of the United States
Ordnance Department,`and *the job was done
under his general supervision. The metal
is cooled- within the hollow of the gun by
means of a stream of water, which is passed
through the earthen core. The cold water, at
the rate of about forty gallons per minute, is
passed in through a pipe at the top and in the
centre of the core, and is discharged at the bot
tom. This stream is continued during the time
the casting is cooling. The success which ' has
attended this great undertaking so far, is a guar
antee that the subsequent work upon this pon
derous "bore " will be well performed. We
believe that all the'cannons hitherto made at the
Fort Pitt Works have proved of a very superior
quality, capable of enduring a greater number of
discharges than those made at any other foundry.
These faots ought to direct the attention of Con
gress to this city, as the favored point before all
others for a National Foundry, which we trust
will be established here in due time.
The Housekeeper's Friend—Spalding's
Prepared Glue.
Small conveniences for general family use are
often of more value than what are called " great
inventions." It is estimated that in the United
States there are at least five millions of house
holds, in all of which, the annoyance of squeak
ing, rickety chairs, sofas, tables, etc., is con
stantly experienced, and so long as furniture is
in this condition, there is always danger of a
4, smash-up." The experience of the city house
keeper, with May-day before her eyes, will
readily suggest the value and convenience of a
really trustworthy prepared glue, that can be
Instantly brought in requisition where repairs to
furniture and other household wares are needful.
The want of such an article is as constant and
universal es the family, and hitherto it bas been
a want unenpplied. This, however, Clan be truly
said no longer. Spalding's Prepared Glue seems
to be all that has been desired in this direction.
It is kept soluble by chemicals, retains its
strength and tenacity, is convenient and always
,‘ up to the sticking point," is put up in a bottle
with a brush, and sold at twenty-five cents. No
housekeeper in city or country can well afford to
be without a bottle of Spalding's Prepared , Glue.
It is just the thing for the library and schoole,
where books are constantly in need of repair.—

The Liver Pills.
The Liver Pills of Dr. M'Lane were first need
by him exclusively in his own practice. So effi
cacious were they in' all cases of Liver Com
plaint, that they became famous, and attracting
the atttention of the medboal faculty, passed into
general use. They act with great certainty and
regularity ; the patient almost immediately feels
the dispersion of his disease, and is gradually re
stored to health. With some, the effect is almost
miraculous, frequently experiencing immediate re
lief, after having for months resorted to drugs
and medicines of another decription, in vain.
Diseases of the Liver are very common in this
country, and are often frightful in character.
Those who experience any of the premonitory
symptoms of this dangerous and complicated
disease, should at once procure a box of Dr.
M'Lane's Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros.,' Of
Pittsburgh, and perhaps, thereby, be saved a
world of misery.

The pacific policy of France toward England
was being regarded as a thing fixed. Arrange

that France had entered.
It is stated that the French Government is

An Imperial decree has been issued, allocating
the Budget of France for 1860 amongst the dif

The memory of the just is blessed; and we should blest
God, and encourage and strengthen ourselves by whatever
is excellent in them. Mr. WitUaee was for about forty
years an exemplary and esteemed Ruling Rider, first in
Lebanon church, afterwards in Raccoon. He was a man of
great energy and activity of character, and his ptety par
took much of the same elements. As a Christian and an
officer, he shrank from no danger, and no toil and hardship,
when he believed duty nailed. No state of the weather
or reads kept hint from the sanctuary, the prayer-meeting,
or the sickroom; and no amides prevented a be Arty and
thaspltable entertainment of Christian Mends in hie own
house. By eminent activity, !barleys devotion, and dili
gence, he seemed to be specially chosen to glorify God:
But "God's thoughts are not as ours" A paralysis lays

HARPER'S WEEKLY.
A FIRST CLASS ILLUSTRATED PAPER.
THE. BEST AND CSESAPEST
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD
EWE CENTS A NUMBER ; $2.50 A YEAR.
The First Number of the Fourth Volume of Houma's
WISELY will appear on the 4th of January,' 1860. This
year over 4,5130,000 numbers of HARPER'S WEEKLY will have
been sold, nearly half of which will be bound for reference.
In commencing the new YOISME, the proprietors desire to
state that it has been their aim to render HARPZR'S WISELY,
in the first place, and before anything else, - a First-class
Newspaper—a pictorial history of current events, equal to
the daily press in fullness of description, and ropetior to
the daily press as combining illustrations with text. How
far they have attained their aim, the three volumes now
published will show. The Illustrations in the Third Vol
ume will bear evidence to -the fidelity with which every
important event of the pent year has been related and
illustrated In the pages of HARPER'S WEEKLY. They would
refer especially. in this connelb,n, to the Italian War, the
Great 'Eastern Stesmehip, the Harper's Ferry Outbreak, the
"Utah Expedition, the Paraguay Expedition, China, etc., etc.
The value of the paper can be beet realized by supposing
that it did not exist, and by trying to canceive how little
people would really know of passing events if they had to
rely on written descriptions alone. In this respect, the
arrangements for the coming year are more complete than
they have been heretofore. HARPER'S WEEKLY has regular
artist correspondents In almost every quarter of the globe,
and command's the pencil of the first artists at home. It
will, moreover, in order to present its readers with a com
plete illustrated history of our age, continue to transfer to
its pages tbe beet -and most generally interesting pictures
from illustrated, foreign journals. In a word, the subscriber
to Hearse's WEEKLY may rely on finding in its pages next
year an accurate, well.drawn, well engraved, and well
printed picture of every memorable event which mews, and
a portrait of every man who attracts the general attention
of the people , of this country.
HARPER S WEEKLY wall continue, as heretofore, to publish
the beet tales that are written by native and foreign authors.
It has already published A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles
Dickens, (with 'original illustrations drawn for Harper's
Weekly;) What will he do with it? by Sir E. Lytton
Dulwer; The Deed Secret, by Wilkie Collins; Lois the
Witch, by Hrs. Gaskill: A Good Fight, by Charles Heade.
It is now publishing The Woman in White, by Wilkie Col.
line, and will shortly commence the publication of a new
serial story - of American Life, by an eminent American
author. This story also will be illustrated by the inimitae
ble pencil of fricLenan. On, or before the conclusion of
these tales, others of equal merit will be commenced, It
being the intention of the publishers to secure every work
of undoubted excellence that is written here or abroad. It
is hardly necessary to add, that the foreign serials which
appear in HARPER'S WEEKLY are pUrchased from their an
thers by the proprietors of Haltrait's WEAKLY, who,in many
instances, give for a mere right of priority what amounts
to a handsome copyright to the author.
In addition to serials, each number of HARPER'S WEEKLY
will contain a short complete tale by a native or foreign
author. in respect to these tales, as with the serials, the
publishers will publish the beet that they. can obtain,
without, regarding their origin.
The 'other departments of HARPER'S Wuxi/ will eon•

lishers.

Aware of the folly which leads certain weak minds to
attacks degree of odium to the life of a single woman, the
writer of this volume has endeavored to depict a character
pnriddd and ehnobled by early trials, not unusual or exag:
Berated; acharater which has its counterpart around us,
in many a happy home.
Slit has endeavored to show that although denied by
Providence those natural ties, so Sweet when hallowed by
trae piety, she may still gather around her a circle of
loving-hearts, Who reverence her name and rejoice in the
sunlight which she everywhere creates.
Let one sister Edith's and Annt Marys learn that there
is no need of lap-dogs and pet cats, to engross their affect
tone, when there are so many orphaned, helpless, or
ignorant children around them; let them also learn that
there is no time for peevishness or discontent, while so
many need their affectionate services. If they would heap
their hearts green, their spirits young and jbyoue, let them
mingle freely, with youth. ministering to their happiness.
soothing their troubles, and directing their youtg atop; if
they would be saved from gloomy discontent, let them
frequent the homes of the poor and sufferingg, arid they
will learn there teams of holy gratitude, wttibh will make
them welcome in every household, as the blessed bestowors
of rich stores of human happiness —[Frout the Prefade.]
