Discharging them in the fear of the
Tiord, and by . his spirit, is to " walk
in wisdom!' Discharging them thu%
:in the full consciousness that we are
'watched by the world, is to " walk in vie,
don toward them that are ~oithout." And
converting , every moment into an opportuni
ty for doing good, -is the "redeeming the
time" of which the Apostle speaks.
What a sinking -of heart there is some.
time% at the close of a life which has been
a sad failure, when sins and misspent time
and neglected privileges come aweeping over
the soul like a deep, dark sea, and the
thought comes up that opportunities are now
gone forever and forever I How some one
will ory then, in his agony, "a thousand
worlds for an inch of time," when ten thou

-such is not your ,otuse. This is a day of
hope and rejoieing, just lumina it offers

fired you. The blank pages lie before you;
write on them what you. will. You can
think over the errors and mistakes of the

Tim PRIITATIOOD ADD rail BOOK or JIMMY&
With an Original and Oopions Critical and
Explanatory Commentary. By Rev. Robert
JAPID6IOII, D.D., Minister of St. Paul's Parish,
Glasgow Scotland. Philadelphia: Wm. S.
.Aged Martien. Pittsburgh : John S. Davi
ton. 18130.
The plan of the anther is to place the Scrip
ture on one page and the Commentary on the
opposite page, for convenience of reference.'
The type used is small, but very distinct, and
the, paper of excellent quality, so that the size
of the type is less objectionable than might be
supposed. The Commentary is an admiiable
illustration of how much learning, criticism, and
rest explanation, may be made to occupy small
limits. The book is well suited for the wants of
the general reader, and will be of great assist-
Ann to the Sabbath School teacher. We would
be pleased to see a commentary of equal merit,
in the same form, on other parts of the Old
Tesilament. At the 8141128 time we would remind
our readers that the author adopts the theories
of the geologists. Thus on Gen. i 1 9, he says,
The world was to be rendered a terraqueons
globe, and this was effected by a-volcanic amp-,
tion on. its surface," To say the leaet, this
immensely doubtful. Again,- his explanation of,
the phrise, "In the beginning;"' is sufficiently
vague, for he says-this is ‘i a period hid, in the
depths of ,eternal ages."'

This Is another of the seasonable publications
of that enterprising-and liberal. firm,- Messrs.
Lindsay Btp3lekistou, whose reputation, as pub
lishers is' ao deservedly high. The 'lectures
contained in this volume were delivered In the
city of taiiimore during the Winter of 18574,
and were subsequently revised and delivered •in
the city of Philadelphia, where they were listened
to with much interest. Their object is a popular
exposition d the Levitical ceremonies, with:their
typical import and relations. In doing this, the
author has - entered a field of popular, i o quiry,
almost unoccupied. The Commentaries of Prof
Bush and A. Boner, to which the author
acknowledges his indebtedness, ,are eomewhaiL in
this direction, but do not meet exactly, the wants
of the general reader.

Many years ago, the author of this work was
invited to deliver a series of lectures to about
one hundred young men, poor and unfriended,
but who bad banded together for the purpose of
self improvement. The lectures were delivered,
and some of these young men rose to stations of
respectability and usefulness. In after years,
one of them, who bad become an employer of
others, urged the author to publish these lectures
to whichhe had been, in the meantime, •making
constant additions, and the result is, the volume
before us. Clearly and. distinctly does the an.
thor set before his readers the need and 'value
of "Self Help," and most aptly , does he illuxtrate
his teaching by noted examples in all depart
ments of life. We would like to Bea this book in
the hands of every young man in the 'United
States.

The Family is the grand fountain of influence,
for Church and state. Character is there 'no
nuked, habits are formed, principles implanted—
it, is there that men and women are made.
Society is supplied with good members from good
families. And to make a truly good family,
religion- I -the true religion—is the leading influ
ence., A,Religions influence is needed not only
to the training of ministers and church members;
it is indispensable to the production of honest
stateemen, sound politicians, and trustworthy ,
eiecutive officers. We, therefore, hail the very
able and judicious work of Dr. Smith, and rejoice
that it bears the imprimatur of onr,own Board.
It is a Prize Essay, and merits a place in every

A New and Desirable Invention.
We understand that an article will be brought
to this city in a few; days,, which bas created con•
siderible sensation in New York*and other East
ern cities, namely an c , Overstring Grand Piano."
It is claimed that one of the most important mod
ern improvements in the Piano Forte, is the
"dierstrings," that is the bees, or thick wires
running over and above the others on a separate
bridge. The tone of moat Pianos has heretofore
been more or less short and dry, lacking that pe
culiar singing and continuous quality of , sound
which has' always been the great desideratum; in
'these instruments. By the application of the
" Overstrings," it is claimed this difficulty has
been obviated in a great measure, and a charatt
ur of tone has been attained more closely resem
bling, the vibrations and the surpassing excellence 't
of, the human voice. This great improvement
has b'ttely been applied to the Grand. Piano, by the

Oneaf the Most starling cases is narrated of
?Mane's Vermifuge, by Dr. John Butler, of
Lowell, ,Trumbull 00., Ohio. The case was that
of a young lady who had been very sick for eight
years, and haft consulted a number of physicians,
who had treated it as one of Prolapsus Uteri.
Dr. Butler was then called in, and for a time be
lieved with his predecessors that it was a case of
ProlaPsus. He was, hewever, 'soon forced to the
conclusion that his patient was suffering from
worms, and after much persuasion, prevailed upon
her to take two doses of Dr. MiLane's Vermifuge,
prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh. This
medicine •had the effect of removing from her a
countless number of the largest ,size. After, she
passed them, her health immediately retained.

THAI PACIFIC lONPOSITOB.
• The power of the Press!! beyond all calculation. Eternity
only can reveal its influence upon mankind. All Beets and
denominations, all eahoola, creeds ' and parties, understand
the neeeesity using the Press to propagate and defend
their opinions and measures. They all have their organs,
from the daily Idlest to the stately quarterly.
It ie not our wish, however, to..interfere by this publics
tioo, with any other, but to supply what seems to us to be
a special and pressing want on this resat. It is believed
there is no portion of oar whole. continent, where a work
of thit kind is so much needed as in California. In pro%
portion to the number of inhabitants, there is hereenore
mind and more capability of reading, and more need of
reading of the right kind, than in any other part of the
globe.
The PACIFIC EXPOSITOR Is to be devoted to the tripe- -
/dams of God's Word,' and the preaching of the Gospel,
according to the Standards of our Church.- We wish to do
by the Preis, for our , fellow•citieene, jest what we do for
Calvary congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound,
explain and preach to them the Word of the Living God.
We would, If possible, furnish 351700P5, to be read on the
Lord's day, In the lonely place of onr valleys and mountains,
where there Is no pastor or evangelist to open his month
and show the way of seivatiou -and into the crowded
vii
,loge of miners, farmers, and travelers, where as yet there
is no bones ef worship, we desire to send the EXPOSITOR, to
open to them the Scriptures, and preach unto them Jesus.
It is well known that a large number of the half million of
souls that are on this meat, do not attend any church, or
meetiog.honee ; many thousands of them never hear a
sermon preached from year to year. We would furnish
them with such reading as would remind them of their
early training—the home of their youth—and cense, them
to seek and serve the God of nair fathers, with a perfect
heart and a willing mind. We hope to embody in our
pages sterling truths; truths calculated to enlighten the
mind, elevate the ?wait, and purify the affections; truths
drawn chiefly trODI the Word of God, and presented in a
gain, clear and foreible style, that they may be suitable
r all classes, and be read by all the members of a family.
We hope to make the .ESPOSITOa a missionary, that may(
preach even , where the colportenr and the evangelist do
not go.
Our own time and brain-toll are cheerfullygiven to the
work, the the sake of trying to preach In this way, from
the Prose, especially to those who are not within the sound
of the voice of the living preacher. The editor and pub
thither do not propose to make money by the work. They
desire only such aid from their fellow-citisens as will meet
the expenses of publication. Not one dollar of the sub
scriptions will be appropriated to the editor's private use.
All that is trnbeeribed beyond the actual cost, will be spent
In extending the circulation of the work among our
miners, cattle-drivers, farmers, sailors and travelera. The
NIPONVIOe will be issued every month, at three dollars per
annum, in advance. It will make an octavo volume of over
six tnnared page's It is very neatly printed, and on good
paper. The postage prepaid to any part of the United
States' is ova my for each number'. Gold dollars, or three
dollar pierce, or drafts on the San Prandeao Repme Oom
, palsies, can be sent at our risk, by mail. lour numbers
have been issued. The work can be furnished to aubecribern
from the beginning.
' To my Mends - and the Christians of "the blessed old
States," I wonid say,• that though California is making
, them rich, we are poor, used in building up Christian
institu
tines, we need not only your prayers and sympathy, but we
need your contributions. As a missionary agency, it is
difficult to see how you can do as much by three dollars in
any other way,,as you can do by entworibing for this work.
By means of the Post Office, you can send it to preach to
thousands, that have been taught toread, but do not attend
church, and indeed have non* to go to.
sir ffilnistera, elders, church officers and others, who are
friendly to this work, are invited to set as agents in pro
curing subscribers. A liberal commission will be allowed.
Life ie short The night oometh soon, when no man can
work. Let us work while the day lasts. Will you

Aware of the folly which leads certain weak mind. to
attach a degree of odium tithe life of a single woman, the
writer of this voluniehas endeavored to depict a character
purified and ennobled by early trials, not .ontuinal or exag•
gusted; a character which has its counterpart around us,
in many a happy home.
. Bhe has endeavored to show that' although denied by
Providence those natural ties, so meet when, hallows& by ,
true, piety, she doay still gather around her .a ,cirele of
'loving hearts, who reverence her name and rejoice in the
sunlight which - she everywhere creates..
Let our slater Edithe and Aunt Marge learn that there
le no need of lap-dogs and pet cats, to engross their affec
tion., '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 aff.otionate eeevices. If they would keep
their hearts green, their spirits young and Joyous, let them
mingle freely with youth, ministering to their happine s s.
•
soothing their troubles, and directing their young steps; if
they would be saved from gloomy discontent, let them
frequent the homes of the poor and suffering, and they
