Mother, Home, and Heaven.-
The words of deepest.meaning
To erring mortals giveml—
pnrest, deepest feeling—
Are Mother, Home, and Heaven!
The magic name of:mother
Revives in every heart
The feeling first awakened
On that dear parent's part;
An,d cold must be the bosom,
pevOid oflove and soul,
that is not moved to goodness
By it mother's mild control.
With%owe we all remember
-Some vision of the past—
A May-day in the morning,
Too beautiful to last ;
When flowers of lowly beauty
Beguiled our youth to tears,
Concealing 'mid the roses,
The thorns of riper years !
Yet when the past is challenged,
Wherever we may roam,
The word that is most eloquent
Is that dear one of home !
Of these three words of beauty,
I know not which is best—
Two speak of love and happiness,
And oncof future rest..
I
I feel that,heaven is , dearest,
And yet I cannot tell,
For mother fills the heart with love
, And home has charms as well.
Then let these three united'e,
Nor shall the tie be riven,
For words of thrilling melody
Are mother, home, and heaven !

The Hornet and the spider.
One bright May morning a hornet left
hjajkist, foll,of life and :vigor, rejoicing in
fds strength of wing, glorying in the com
pactness of his 'form, conscious of a
strength, superior to most of the insect
frilii; he-feared no foe. Darting from place
to place, he was amused to see how the hum
of the blue bottle hushed at his approach,
how the butterfly avoided his path, how the
wasp preserved a respectable distance, and
how the honey bee grew anxious as he ap
proached the hive; in short, he was a re
spectable ,hornet, able to appear with credit
among his equals, and armed with such a
terrible sting, that even superior force hes
itated before it attacked him. He was also
a gay, good natured hornet, not apt to
quarrel, never surly, and the season was so
delightful, that food was easily obtained
without interfering with weaker ones. He
had no previous disputes to settle, and no
disposition to commence any quarrel.
Thus. he flew from field to field, sipping
honey from the flowers gathering from old
rails tbamaterial of his nest—fearing no
foe—asking no favors. He had a jolly
time of it. If he occasional caught a fly,
nieint no particular harm; he needed
food of that sort, and was not unnecessari
ly cruel, so that be might almost be called
a conscientious hornet. He had not been
long, this morning, upon his rambles, be
fore his quick eye detected an insect strug
gling and dangling, in the air; invisibly
:bound by some tie which it could not
brol4,yet most anxious to be free. One
time it would pull in a straight line, then
it revolved round and round in a circle,
every' 'effort proving abortive. At last,
wearied'out, it gave up its attempts to es
cape, and fell, not upon the ground, but
upon a spider's web spread just beneath.
The monster who, from, a deep recess, had
watched the struggle while one mesh only
Waa brokeu, now darted upon his prey, and
i
bore it off n triumph.
gi Ahal" exclaimed the .hornet, "your
establishment is the greatest curiosity I
ever yet beheld. I should like very much
ifitivia , its interior arrangeinents. ' To
which the spider blandly replied, " I assure
youoitir, nothing would afford me greater
pleasiiri than to show you all the attrac
tions of the place; my situation is charm
ing,,and I fancy thatnothinc , can excel the
tastefulness and beauty of a,il my arrange
ments, especially the gorgeous magnificence
of my drapery. These hangings, sir, I as
sure you, were gotten up in the finest style,
and upon the latest patterns, while the cost
was enormous," By this time the hornet
had approached the mouth of the den, and
was somewhat startled by the sight of the
vietiths, who had, from time to time, enter
ed to return no more—but he saw no hor
net there
They were all puny flies, like the one
which he had just seen caught. Weak
creatures; wanting sadly in self-control. So
disguising his momentary alarm, he said to
his host,'" Better play no pranks with me,
lam game of another sort." The spider
protested his• friendship, for his guest; as
sured him that no one ever entered his es
tablishment except willingly, and felt much
betterowhen they left it; and even dropped
a tear,at the idea that such a magnificent
strong-tn . ed,fellew as the hornet 'should
en 'tirftai attSpimon of the,respectabili
ty of the place, or of the unsullied honor
which dwelt Within those walls. " I hope,
sir, you are not afraid, to enter !" Afraid!
Now this was touching ty" hornet in the
sensitive part, and he entered at, once.
What i'!recurred, the. hornet could not actu
ally relate -to. his 'friends when next they
met. nfitis' far as he could recollect, he
said that they had a glorious time of it.
The, spid t er was the most , accommodating
fellewpaci Ryer - The, entertainment
was superb—the host spared no pains, an
swered every call With , alacrity—indeed,
wasgßetiiticusito kfittdt. ' They had fin
ale, dancing, feasting„and drinking. "At
last," said he, " every thing began to grow
indistinct, and drowsy feelings overcame
me. I wanted to come home, but the spi
der;-good feilOw, would not hear to this;
he /laid . ..me down upon 'a soft 'bed. His
tuckingthe.clothes around me was the last
thing I remember, and all was dark, obliv
ion. When I awoke, the strangest feel
ings were within me. I Was as thirsty as
August,:and as numbed as November. I
had somehow got entangled among his cur
tains; every - movement gave me pain. My
'friend, the spider, had gone out, but some
hciw I thought he heard me.shouting. All
around me were dead flies. I distinctly
saw the skeleton.. of the tiny thing he 'last
caught. What was to be done? 'As no
one was near, I exerted my strength, kicked
his ourtainato •pieces, regardless of damage,
and Sieglad to' - be - here. Although, I
must say, we had a good time of it."
His family were much concerned at his
relation, and entreated him to visit such a
dangerous friend no more. Some of them
recollected thateven a few hornets had been
caught in such traps. His wife went .so
far as to entreat him to sign a pledge not 471
go there again.; but here he shook his wings,.
and, : ,with a him, exclaimed, "Sign away
my 'liberty? Never!" " Oh'! no," she
reified "my husband; sign a pledge that

Hornet would' not be warned. He not only
went again-and again to this accursed web,
but introduced othersi flies and hornets, un
til' ittliust' he was missed from his nest.

This speech stung the hornets to maxi

upon him. He made a stout defence in the
recesses of his den, and retreated at last
without much injury, but they demolished
his slaughter house entirely, and passed a

TRANSLATED FROM VIE GERMAN OF .K.RUMMACHER,
A countryman brought home five peaches
from the city, the most beautiful that could.
be'seen. His children saw the fruit for
the first time. On this account they won
dered, and were very much pleased over the
beautiful peaches with the rosy cheeks and.
soft down.
The flither divided them among his four
chikdren, and one was received by the
moCer.
In the evening, as the children were go
ing to their bed-chambers, they were asked
by their father,
"Well, how did those fine peaches taste
to yon?"
" Excellent, dear father," said the eldest.
" It is a beautiful fruit, somewhat acid, and
yet of so mild a flavor. I have saved the
stone, and intend to rear a tree out of it."
"Well done," said the father; "that I
call prudently providing for the future, as
it becomes a husbandman."
[Selected
"I have also eaten mine up," said the
youngest, "and thrciwn away the stone, and
mother gave me half of hers. Oh! it tast
ed so sweet, and melted in one's mouth."
" Well," said the father, "to be sure, you
have not acted prudently, but very natu
rally as children are wont . to do. For
prudence is there still room enough in thy
life."
Then began the second son :
" I picked up the stone which my little
brother threw away, and cracked it. There
was a kernel therein, that tasted as sweet
as a int. But my peach I sold, and have
received'so much money for it, that I can,
when I go .to the city, probably buy
twelve."
The father shook his bend, and said,
"Vise it was, but not in the least child
ish or natural. May heaven preserve you
from becoming a merchant."
"And thou, Edmund?" said the father.
Candidly and openly answered Edmund :
"I took my peach to our neighbor's son,
the sick George, who has a fever. Ile was
not willing.to take it, but I laid it upori
the bed ana•came away."
"..Well," said the. father, "who has; ;then,
made the best use of his peach ?" '
Then cried they all three,
"Brother Edmund has."
But Edmund remained silent; and the
mother kissed him with tears in her eyes.
The Mother's Faith---A het,
"I should like to know what mother
thinks of the Lord now !" exclaimed a lit
tle boy of ten years, as a group of half
starved brothers and sisters were preparing
for school, without a breakfast, one bitter
cold morning.
Well knew each member of that hungry
band of little ones, that through all the
trying scenes of poverty, in their father's
lon. , illness, a firm and unwavering faith
had ' upheld their praying mother. But
now,when , the last fire had -been made, and
the last frugal meal of baked potatoes eaten,
and her own frail form was sinking beneath
its burden of work and sorrow, the climak
seemed reached. " What does mother
think of the Lord now ?" fell upon the
ears of one of the lovliest women I ever
met. It was from the BO of her first-born,
for whose submission to God she had ever
been hoping and striving. The words fell
upon her heart like lead. It was a new
test of her, sorely-tried faith, a new drop
added to her bitter cup.
A long and severe sickness of her hus
band had reduced them to extreme poverty,
and with no resource but the needle, -it had
been difficult to meet, the demands of a
large family, and perform sick-room duties
at the same time. When this eventful
morning dawned, there was no more , food
in the house, and just wood enough to build
one more fire. A slice of borrowed bread'
was toasted for the sickman and
lowed chaii drawn before thee i last fire. He
knew not the • destitution, the toil, the self
sacrifices that oppressed his wife; he saw
only the smiles, the industry, the neatness,
and the patient waiting for brighter days.
When the daring words of the hungry
,boy fell upon that Christain mother's ear,
she just lifted up her heart, in the silent
eloquence and fervor of ejaculatory prayer,
known only to the toil-worn and working
disciple. The answer came, "The Lord is
good, his mercy endureth forever." Her
heart responded, and as she raised her eyes
to the window, two good loads of wood
standing there testified that she had not
thought too much of her heavenly Father,
or trusted to his promises too long. The
sun shone again 'on that household, and
never more did Henry say, "I wonder what
mother thinks of the Lord now?"

The colony of Sierra Leone, and the
Republic of Liberia. on the Western Coast
of Africa, are noble monuments of Eng

tions. They were established and are sus
tained on the true and only principles of
Christian colonization. And they are ful
filling .the , hopes of their founders and
supporters, in l etanding forth as- centres of
light to the surrounding darkness. The
populdion of Sierra Leone is computed to
exceed sixty" thousand souls, and is com
posed of members of some sixty tribes of
Africans, speaking as many different dia
lects. They were mostly rescued by Brit
ish cruisers from slavers, carried to this
asylum, and afforded the advantages of ed
ucation and civilization. Hundreds of
them are now well qualified ministers of
the_Gospel, catechists, teachers, and mer
chants. Several of the latter named class'
have acquired more than one hundred
thousand dollars ;. ethers own vessels of
considerable size, and navigate them them

via by the Colonization Society, and these,
with over two hundred' thousand natives,
have become an independent nation, with a
republican constitution, securing to its
citizens all the privileges of civil freedom.
The industry - of the aborigines is encour
aged, and the resources of the 'land are
being developed. A large, profitable, and
increasing export trade is carried on. In
addition io a considerable number of small
craft engaged in the coasting trade, several
Liberian houses run vessels to New-York
and Baltimore. The Eusebia N. Roye is
the name of a brig which, with her cargo,
is owned by Mr. Rye, a black merchant of
Monrovia, who sails her with Liberian
papers and the Liberian hag. •
The several armed squadrons, organized
and enlightened government, legitimate
commerce, and zealous missionaries, are
doing much for Western Africa. Indeed
the amount of good already secured, is this
portion of th 3 great continent very far ex
ceeds the most sanguine anticipations.
Bishop. Payne, of the Episcopal Mission at
Cape Palmas, and who has labored in, this
part of the Continent for twenty-two years,
recently stated that there was scarcely a
village between the Gambia and the mouth'
of the Gaboon, a distance of -two thousand
miles, where a traveller would not be at
least saluted by a native in the English
tongue. Along this whole extent where,
forty years ago, all was barren and unchris
tian, the language has been written in
twenty-five dialects. There are one hun
dred church buildings, two hundred schools,
and over sixteen thousand children, while
the Gospel is preached to over five millions
of Africans. Truly,'there is hope for Af
rica, and for the elevation of the colored
race'. May all concerned ralize, and act
up to their responsibilities.—Colonizatian

Heat and Cold as, Disinfectants.
At the National Sanitary Convention in
Boston, Dr. Harris, reada paper on "Heat
as a Disinfectant."
It appears that the boiling of clothes
exposed to infection had proved an efficient
disinfectant: The heating , of hospital
wards by common stones, to one hundred
and sixty degrees Fahrenheit for two days,'
had eradicated infection.
Dr. Harris referred to his own experi
ence in the Quarantine Hospital, and
showed that the washerwomen avoided in
fection by boiling the clothes: before Nvash
ing ; when this was not done every wadt.:.
erwoman caught the disease. Heat applied
to clothing , and rooms had produced the
same effects in scarlet fever and other dis
ease.
His observation had shown that nearly
all fabrics would bear a higher degree of
heat than was required for complete disin
fection.
Dr. Arnold of Savannah, remarked that
after the yellow fever appeared in that city
no man was safe till the , appearance of a
strong black frost. Cold killed it.
Dr. Harris mentioned a case where tons
of ice failed to expel infection from a
vessel. Dr. Mather agreed with Dr.- Har
ris.
Mr. Dudd, of' Newark, had known a ship
to be disinfected of yellow fever by steam,
when' =it was intended to kill rats The
attempt to freeze the yellow fever out of
the frimate Susqueltannah, cost $19,000,
and failed at that.
Dr. Bibbins, said that he never knew a
small pox epidemic in the city during dog
days. Heat killed it effectually as cold
did the yellow fever.
The, Land of Huss.
From the land of John Huss, where, for
four hundred years, the blood of Christian
martyrs has cried from the ground, comes
to the Protestants of England and Ameriea
a cry for help. The people are sick of
Romanism,•und the 'reinembrance bit,their
noble martyred leader still clings to their
hearts. Within thirteen years past, a
considerable body, nearly or quite one
thousand in number, have seceded from
the Romish Church and become Pro
testants. Oppressed by the bigoted tyrant
who rules Austria their pastors taken from
them, subject to all sorts of civil disabili
ties denied schools except :with Romanist
teachers, poor and unknown, they have yet
held fast their integrity, and now appeal
for help to-their brethren in more favored
lands. They need aid to support their
pastors, to proclaim -the Gospel to others of
their countrymen, who, in great numbers,
desire to repudiate Romanism, and avail
themselves of the proffered concessions
wrung by fear from Francis . .Yoseph, to
erect schools. They ought not to cry in
vain. In Hungary the fear of revolution,
which was imminent, has compelled the
Austrian tyrant to grant a degree of liberty

they, have not majoyed 'ace 184.8. ~ ';`
Dancing.
. .
The following extract was taken from
the Parish, Visitor,: an excellent little
monthly paper issued by the Evangelical
Knowledge Society of the Epiacopal
Church :
The moral portion of Pagan Rome re
pudiated dancing as disreputable. We
have, an oration of Cicero '
in which he de
fends Mumma, the Consul elect, whom Cato
endeavored to restrain from the office, partly
on the ground that he had been guilty of
indulging in • this effeminate amusement.
Hear Cicero repel the charge; " Cato calls
Murmna a dancer.. : jf. this reproach be 1
true, it is a weighty aecusation ; if false, it
is an outrageous calumny. Wherefore,
Cato, as your authority carries so much
influence with it, you ought neirer to snatch
a charge from the mouths of the rabble,
and rashly call the Consul of the Roman
people a dancer, but to consider . how many
rbther vices a man must needs be guilty of
'before that of dancing can be truly objected
to him ; for no one' ever dances, even •in
solitude, or in a private meeting of his
friends, who is not either drunk, or mad.
Dancing is always the last act of riotous
banquets, gay places, and profane pleasures!'
With us it may be the first act, instead of
the last, in these "places of gaity and of
profane pleasures," and it is, ,shocking :
hear a Christian apologizing for that
has never yet been separated from the most
dangerous associations:; for'. tife proof
the demoralizing tendency of balls, whether
held in public or private houses, is not to
be resisted. . ;
•
That learned skePtio, Peter' Boyle, had
the moral preception to discover the merits
of so plain a case. "The Reformed
churches," he says, "which forbid dancing,
cannot be sufficiently praised for it. The
manner of it (and it does not appear that
the indecency of waltzing was then prac
tised) occasioned a thousand disorders ;
and in the very room where the ball was
held, it •made impressions dangerous to
virtue."

While Judge Turner was in the practice
of his profession, he once conducted a
petty litigation between two very mean
men, about-a very -small matter, and finally
succeeded in promoting his case to the -
County Court, to be heard by a judge pre
siding therein, who shall be nameless.
This Judge, although he had the respect
of the bar for his learning and ability, had
lost their confidence in his integrity, and

The PoliFer of, Conscience.
The Late Dr. David Fordyce, Professor
of Philosophy in the Marisehal College,
Aberdeen,in his "Dialogues on Education,"
relates the following striking incident
A jeweller, a man of good character, and
considerable wealth, having occasion to
leave hoine' on business at some distance,
took with hint a servant He had with
him some ~of his best jewels, and a large
sum of Money. This was known to the
servant who, urged by cupidity, murdered
his master on the road, , rifled him of his
-jewels and money, and, suspending a large
stone round. his neck, threw him into the
nearest canal. With the booty he had
thus gaited, the servant set off to a distant'
part of the country, where ,he had reason
to believe that neither he nor his -master
was known: There he began to. trade ; at
first inut very humble way, that his obscu
rity img}it Screen' him from observation;
and i s rohe course of many years, he seemed
to riae,hYthe natural progressof business,
into. wealth and. -consideration, so that his
goodlortufie seemed at once the effect and
reward of industry and virtue. Of these
he counterfeited the appearance so well,
tfia c t he grew into great credit, married into
a -good ,fatnily, and was admitted into a
share of the government of:the town. He
rose from one post ti:Y another, till at length
hi was chosen 'chief magistrate. In this
office he niaintained a fair character, and
continued,to.fillr it with no small applause,
both as governor and judge.
One day as ihe,, presided on the bench
with some of his` brethren, a criminal was
brought, before him, who was accused of
murdering his master. The evidence came
out fully; the, jury brought in their verdict
thatthe prisoner was-guilty, and the whole
assembly waited the sentence of the court
with Suspense. The president appeared to,
be in -unusual disorder and agitation, of
mind; his color changed .:often; and at
length• he rose from his seat, and, descend•
-
ing from the bench, placed himself cloSe,
to the unfortunate man at the bar, to the
great astonishment of all present. " You
see before you," said he, addressing himself
to• those who-sat on the bench with him,
"a striking`instance of the just award of
heaven, which this lay after thirty years'
concealment, presents to you a greater
criminal than- the man just now found
guilty." He then made a full confession
of his guilty'and of 'all its aggravations.
Nor can , l feel;" continued he, " any re
lief from the agonies of an awakened con
science, tilt by requiring that justice be
forthwith done, against me in the most
public -and solemn manner." We may
easily suppose the amazement of all the
assembly, ,anci especially of his fellow
judges., HOwever, they proceeded, upon
his confession to• pass sentence upon him;
and he died with all the: symptoms of a
penitent mind:
The City of. Nanvoo-:—The Prophet Smith's
Family.
A Chidao•O deleatte returning to, his
home, visited the ruina,of Nauvoo city, and
gives the following description of it :
A., vastcextent of ground is covered by
the ruins ,of this city. Streets, beautifully
laid out', wide' and s'iacious, macadamized
and in goo(L order, afford 'evidence of good
taste and systematic design. Numbers of
large brick_ hanks ' with, doors gone, win
dows broien, and partially unroofed and
u§A9lk,b,. l - every son §P„ ,
very large unfinished brick hotel, with mar
ble eappings,!, is in ,the,,centre of the city,
a very picture bfid'eseiatiOn and destruction.
The site of the town is unsurpassed by any
on the river. It is most admirably adapted
to the wants of large city; • access to it is
easy, by land and Water; the climate is ge
nial, and the. general condition of the place
healthy. Since the departure -of the
French, the• Germans have fioeked , there in
crowds, and nowtthe occupyo. ter p ti n
; ,z,roo or
of the city.
, Young Joe Smith, the SOU of the prophet,
is twentyzsik years of age, and occupies the
house in Which his father first lived. He
believes, as did, his father, in all the Mor
mon dobtrines; except the one which coun
tenances the plurality of wives. He is a ;
justice of the peace, and lives on his prop
erty. His house resembles an old-fash
ioned, gable-ended New England 'farm
house surrounded by a-neat plot of ground,
thickly studded with trees. In the drawing
room hangs a portrait .of the old prophet
himself, which looks •just as he did, scow
licks and all, twenty years ago. Mr. Smith
is highly respected by his fellow-townsmen,
on whom he does not attempt to obtrude
his opinions. He does not hold a great
deal of landed property here, though he has
available means elsewhere.
The relict of Prophet Smith some time
since married a 'Mr. Bailheimer, who, with
her, occupies the house from which the first
husband was driven. He is considerable of
a man, and "knows how to keep a hotel,"
that 'being the present occupation of him
self and all that remains to tell the mourn-,
ful tale of-old. Smith, the defunct. The
hotel in which they entertain the travelling
weary was formerly the headquarters of the,
faithful. 'The alarm bell still hangs, though
ropeless, in the belfry, and the evidences of
the Prophet's love of style are many and
varied. ; :A,fine grapery is in full' growth
at the side of the house, and the only de
cent orchard I have seen since leaving Chi
cago, is in _the rear. The lady is about sixty
years of age. She has a fine figure, portly
and fair, and is evidently a kind-hearted
and benevolent ladyoyho is tinctured a lit
tle with the' spirit' of the traditional Yan
kee, and who agrees with the Scripture that
it is not good for man to live alone.

There s-'no'fact more clearly established
in the physiology of man than this, that
the brain expends its energies and itself
during the hoitrEi of Wakefulness, andAhat
thehe are recuperated during sleep.
.1f the
recuperation does not equal the expendi
ture, the brain withers--this is insanity.
Thus it is that, in early English history,
persons who were condemned to death by
being prevented from sleeping, always died
raving maniacs; thus it is, also, that those
who are starved to death' become insane;
the brain, is not nourished, and they cannot
sleep. The practical inferences are these:
1. Those who think most, who do most
brain-work, require most sleep. 2. That
time saved from necessary sleep is infallibly
destructive to mind, body, and estate. 3.

MARY -BUNYAN, •
The Dreamer's Blind Daughter.
A TALE OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.
BY MRS. 5: ROCRESTEICFORI); of Louisville
1 volume. 18Mo. 488 pages. Illustrated. Price $l.OO.
The gnat' popularity of "Grace Truman," (of Which
thirty thousand copies have been sold,) will , secure, for this
book, thousands of readers.
READ WHAT THE PRESS SAY OP IT.
From the New-York Examiner.
The numerous readers of "Grace Truman" have here
another work on a topic of deep and thrilling interest, front
the authoroif that highly populai•bobk: Itiary Bunyan, the
blind daughter of the immortal dreamer, is referred to re
peatedly in his autobiography and other works, .She was
about twelve years of age when Bunyan was imprisoned in
Bedford jailottul his anxiety on her - behalf was one of his"
principal cattsesof distress in his long imprieonment.
As drawn by Mrs. Ford, her character seems to havo,been
ones of great modesty and loveliness, and the story of her
love for Wilham Dormer, and of his delith'for the cause of
civil arid.religious freedom, has much of the pathetic clement
in it. Mrs. Ford is evidently thoroughly aufait Julius inci
dents of Bunyan's family history, and in the topography of
Bedford'and Elstori. We can safely predict for the work an
extensive Xale. '
From the New-York Evangelist:
The simple incidents of Banyan's life, his protracted im
prisonment, his heroioendrimiace and lofty faith, ardor themi-'
selves full of the deepest and Most thrilling interest. It
needed only the picture of his blind daughter Mary, in her'
gentleness and patience undeasore misfortune, to give com
pleteness to the tragic yet noble scenes in. which Bunyan
figures, so modestly yet grMidirconalifcuous. The author of
the volume before us has carefully gathered up such histori
cal facts,- and they are fortunately numerous and well au
thenticated, as could , throwt light upon the subject, arid .has
employed them with great sagacity and effectin the construc
tion of her Story. - • ' • - •
From the American-Baptist, N. Y. -
,Theannenneement of anewwork front the pen of the accom
plished authoress of "Grime Tyumen'," wilisend %thrill of de-
ligbt ifirough thowsinds of hearts. The book willhe read with
an enthusiasmrarely equalled. There will be many a MlAS
mikeeye over the beautiful pages of touching scenes in the
history of one whom all know only to love. Before it was
out of the press, five thousand copies had been ordered, and
we doubt not it will have an immense sale.
From the l'fttoburgh ChroMcle
This is the last, product 'from the pen of a lady whose
writings are rapidly becoming popular. Her last work,
" Grace Truman," -had a sale of over thirty thousand copies,
and this one is said to be a better and a mare interesting
boiak. It is a very pleasing tale of fiction, the scene of
which is in' " Harris England;" - and the chief character, the
immortal and neverfo•be•forgotton John Banyan,' writer of
the Pilgrim's Progreiss.
