I stand on life's meridian height,
Behind me lies the past;
Ite lights, its shades, ite smiles and tears,
Upon life's mime oast.
I gaze adown the slope of years
To childhood's sunny day,
When earth was all a pleasure-ground,
And life a pleasant play.
Youth came at hot, and fuller joy—
Life's gladsome, rosy Tune;
And now matnrer years are gained,
Above me shine's life's noon I
Just thirty-five! I'm half way home:—
%, Three score and ten" the span
Which holds intact the circling years—
The allotted life of man !
Just thirty five and yet no pause,
No halt, no break, no rest;
Life's morping eun which rose so slow,
Goes plunging down the West
And soon life's sunset will be here,
All glorious wish its light; .
For, lit by Calvary and the Cross,
Thank God, there is no night I

This is a large and portly volume, written by
one whose parents were `.Baptists, but who, him
self,
,was a skeptic until the age of thirty-two,
but afterwards renounced his infidelity and be
came a Disciple, or Campbellite, in 1840. In
1848,he removed to Oregon, and while tarrying
at Fort'yanoonver, was a spectator, at midnight,
on Christmae, of the celebration of High ideas,
which made a strong impression on his mind.
Afterwards, he, met -with the Debate between
Alexander Campbell and Bishop Purcell, on the
Catholic question, which started him upon 'a course
of reading, inquiry, and reasoning, that at
length led him into the bosom of the Homish
Church. This book profeeses to be a full state
ment_of the considerations and arguments whic h .
led the' author tO . renounce PrittestaraisM and
adopt his present system of faith. The author
is a lawyer by profession, and .was formerly, we
believe, Governor of the Territory - of Oregon.
The reasoning ,
is in forensic style, and gives evi

The Rev. William Seeker was a Disverating ,

an era prolific of great celebrities in the Church.

The style is in general conTormi c ty to the

the seventeenth' Isetitury. Each sentence seems
f

It Is l a book of , practioal godliness, explaining
•andwpplying the Word of God to the heart and
life man. Jesus is deolared to be the Rock
.upon which the soul must rest, while good works
artinsistegi upon 'the only conclusive evidence
that the professed believer can have, that he has
bask(' a new creature. In Bible truth and
Bible illustration it is very rich, while large con
tributions are levied on nature, history, and
poetry. The common reader will value it because
it is so full of practical matter, clearly and vigor

Wilk adm ire it because it furnishes directly so
mattpthoughts, and, suggests so many others.

The "Gospel Fountain " was a discussion of
our fallen and ruined condition by nature, and of
the doctrines of, the atonement, justification by
faith, the agery of the Holy Spirit is renewing
the heart, sanctification, good works, and the
perseverance, of the saints. The present volume
is a continuation of the discussion of what are
commonly termed the " Doctrines of Grace." It
treats of Predeetination, Regeneration, Repent
ance, slraoe Abounding, or Penitent Sinners wel
come to Christ, Adoption, Grose and Comfort, or
the Doctrines of Grace a source of true happi
ness to believers, and Grace consummated in
Glory. Dr. Wood is always happy and successful
in dealing with these audkindre,ll subjects. This
volume, and the one of whichAtts the sequel, are,
Worthy of a wide circulation both in our own and
other Churches.

be considered ttqit for_ nearly,. fifty years
there hive been misrepresentations afloat, in

and practice of the Presbyterian' Churoh.,
Many years ago, th" Rev: Dr.,liiipkins,
of. Rhode, Island,. pithlistied _ TheClogy,
which'differed from old fashioned Calvinism
in some particular points. The Rev. Dr.
Emmons, of Massachusete, improved (as it
Was Naiad still further upon the theo,,ogy of
Dr. Hopkins.
Then it was that opinions were current in
New'England that Old School Presbyterian
doctrine was summed np in the following
items, to wit.: total depravity, limited atone.

the demands of the Gospel. These Were,oll-

while their divergence was tote ccelo, in

taught the same. , Perhaps his views .may

Introduction by Bar. E. N. KIRK, D.D. 12mo. Cloth,
$l.OO.
This volume cannot fail to stimulate religions thought
and discussion. It presents novel, original and startling
views. It places within the Christian fold many Who claim
no place there; cuts off from it many who coneider them•
races entitled to all its privileges. and applies tests of
spiritual character which are vitally distinct from those
welch are current in the popular religion of the day. It
is one of the books to be road, marked and inwardly
digested.

This volume is quite as remarkable for historical scat
racy as for pictorial skill. Critics who hale examined its
authorities with scrupulous care, speak to the highest
terms of its stern fidelity to truth. Mr. Hopkins will take
his place wits the leading historians of the country, Ban
croft, Prescott, and Motley.

Olshausen's Commentary on the New Testament, which
is now offered to the American public in a better form and
at a lower price than the German Original, has taken Its
place, bythe consent of European and American scholars,
among the elaasical works on Exegesis, and commends
itself to the attention of the :Biblical student, eepecially
for Its original freshness, its theological depth, lie spiritual
• unction,; and the happy faciflty ot explaining Scripture
by Scripture, and, of twine the individuality as well ae
teethe unity and harmony of the apostolic teaching.

Neander was learned in pnilosophy, and in the hiatoryo
the . Church beyond any man Of.hls' age, perhaps of any
age. Take up now his Commentary on John's First Epistle
—the beet of his works of this character with which I am
acquainted. The excellence of this exposition is not at all.
owing io his marvelous learning, bat to the childlike aril
loving temper which places him in so delightful harmasy•

MEDICAL.
DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of but few
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last thirty
or forty years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my having been twice, since .1880, aseacieted with
Dr. It. A. Wilson, in the practice of, medicine, (In both a
period of five years,) enables roe to judge fully of the merits
of his Talc
no convenient, so efficient, and yet 80 safe, did I esteem
thole Pipe, that for the last five years In practice, for the
cure of chronic diseases of whatever 'name. and those of
females In particular,/ have need more of them than WU
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fall in some instances, but in my bands there has been less
disappointment and more satisfaction In the administration
of this one remedy than of all others—its good effects
mi n e timee quite astonishing me.
If my patient reqnired a safe aperient medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just this
thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the etomach, combined
with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my patient, the pills were just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated a case requiting an emmenagogno, the Wil
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
if palpitation,headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indic ating a disturbance of the circulatory and
secretory systeme, annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to the name a disease might happen
to wear at the time 1 have had It under treatment, particu
lar indications or sy mptoms arising were always most
promptly' and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so groat a number of diseases; and sometimes
apparentlyopposite ones, in which I have used those pills,
should be cured more readily by then. than by any other
remedy, MEIY at first seem etrange arid' contradictory, bat
is
why it eo, is as ear to ray mind: as that a grest,many
persons s h o uld become thirsty: from as many different
causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, water, to quench their thirst.
-In conclusion, it is dne the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills are the only 'combination 1 bare ever, met
with in my long course of practice that really posses s any
thlngenrative or speciflo tin friek.beadache..
