Wood Street. 1861. With no common emotions do we take up this 'Work, which . treats of the genius and art of the land of Lido and Hannibal, of which Homer and• Virgil wrote, and which is now rising from the dust and silence of two thousand years. Not withstanding great defects of style, the student of classic history will find peculiar attractions in this volume, and the general reader will discover hibiself quickly absorbed in its interesting and faiebiating revelations of a people passed away, df a religion upon whose altars the fire no lon ger burns,' of a commerce that'no lonor plows the deep, and of mighty conquerors whose names 'Were once terrors to surrounding nations. The author regards Carthage and Tarshish as 'one and the same, and, the first chapter is taken `up with a discussion to establish this theory. .Among , the, chapters over which the reader will 'linger, and to which his thoughts will often re 'yert, may be mentioned: " The Fall of Car thage," " The Religion of the Carthagenians," "Saturn and his Pictures," "The Gigantic Skel eton," "The African Landing Place of Virgil's Hero," " The City Proper;" and " Battle-Field of the , Second Tunic War." SEASONS WITH THE SEA-HORSES ; SPORTING ADVENTURES 7N THE NORTHERN SEAS. By James Lamont, Esq., F.G. S. New- York: liarper i t Bros. Pittsburgh: Robert S. Davie. Octavo.. , Pp. , 282. , 186/. We have here an account of expeditions to the Northern mai, for the purpose of hunting the Walrus Seals, and bears. Such undertakings are both new and expensive, and consequently the reader accompanies the, author as hadetads adventureS; exploits and dangers, with' an-inter est that knows but little abatement. He de scribes what he saw, underwent, and accom 7 plished, with rare art. And as he carries us along with himself, armed with gun and lance, and ready for any - encounter, we' almost feel that we see and take part in what we are merely perusing. The illustrations are exceedingly picturesque, and the scientific notices must be of great value. Such a book is a rare treat. LIFE AND ADVENTURES IN .THE SOUTH PACIFIC. By a Roving Printer. New-York: Harper ;jr Brothers. Pittsburgh: Robert S. Da vis. 12m0., pp. 361.- 1861. This is the product of a printer turned sailor, who spent five years in the whale fisheries, and who has, from his own_ logLbook and that of a companion, compiled a book of rare and trying, adventure. Localities not often visited are de scribed in a style that cannot fail to interest the the reader; and interesting and bastructive de tails are given of an employment, of which but little is known. The mysteries of whale fishing will be highly enjoyed by the reader. At the same time this book has another recommendation that cannot always be found in works of this kind; its tone is good, and it is remarkably free from every thing objectionable.

Among. the, number of Latin Grammars now before the public, are several of such decided merit; that there seems to be but little opportu nity for a new one to secure a place. But the one now before us has such positive merits that it must receive attention, and will win favor with many teachers. It is the .result. not merely of study, but also of 'a practictiViequaintanee with teaching, and a knowledge of the wants of the learner. The author has•certainly introduced 'a much better olaseifteation than is found in most modern Latin Graminars; and •has avoided the confusionAhat so often disheartens the student at the very beginning. In this particular this Gram mar reminds us greatly of the old Latin Gram mar of Ross, whose memory is so fondly cher ished 'by those who Made theinselves masters of the , valuable work. The rules are shOrt and concise,' the" explanations clear, and the summa ries and Nocabulary are full and complete. THE HOUSE ON THE MOOR.

Presby terian Board of Publication, Philadelphia, and Board'of Colportage, Hand Street, Pittsburgh. We have already favorably noticed this "Ms -weir " of a learned and good man. He was the ;first Professor'in the Western Theological Semi nary. for tly Nitt4 laths “Lovest Thou Me on Do we love Jesus ? Jesus asks it. Three times he asked Peter. Continu ally does he ask us whether we love him. Can. we give the same answer to Jesus as Peter did ? Jesus does•not ask if we can speak for him, ete., but do we love him. They are the closing words of 'Jesus he fore he went to heaven; take heed to them. Consider the love Jesus showed us in com ing into the world to save all who believe.in him. Love Jesus above every thing; above all, parents, toys, etc. The best: prool : ofourleving-him-is to be seen in our walk and conversation : If ye love me, keep my commandments." If we love him, be will take us to heaven, there to dwell with him forever, and ever. Love Your Enemies. The subject is important. An enemy is one that has in some way offended us, and toward whom we have feelings of displeas ure. Have you an enemy ? here, then, is advice what to do—love him Our, nature moves us to the opposite of this. Still We are to love him.. Jesus bids you to do this. Jesus not only bids us to love our ene mies., but he has set us the example by ask ing for the forgiveness of his enemies, Luke xxiii : 34. The disciples must, endeavor to put into practice what he has taught. Example of one, Stephen, Acts vii : 60. Paul exhorts' us to do the same, Rom. xii : 14, 20, 21; 1. Cor. iv : 12. Also, Peter, 1. Peter ii :19, 23; iii : 9. We have an enemy we are not to love— Satan. Let us learn of Jesus to love our enemies, then will this great enemy be hated by us. Jesus Christ will finally des troy this enemy. Take these words individually—Love your enemies. Do you? If God had not loved us when rebels, we should have been lost forever. Think also of his love, which he is now showing us, while we are continually doing that which is displeasing in' his sight. Go to Jesus Christ, and ask him to for give all your past unkindness to himself and to those around .you, and< he will; and seek strength of Him who is able to fill you with love and goodness., Child's Prayer. Hear this simple prayer, I of Help me to be good to-day; May I call right thoughts about me, While I drive the bad away. When I feel the selfish wishes Creeping in my little heart, • May I then, my heavenly Father, Think. how good and kind thou art That Ilion ever givest to me All the blessings that are mine; All the birds,the trees; the flowers, All the clouds and bright sunshine For all I have, 0, let me bless thee; For my own glad, happy heart; • For only when I'm good and loving, Can I know how good thou art. Illy New Bible. An aged convertfrom heathenism; ~a na tive of one of the Hervey Islands, some years ago received as a present a copy of the. Bible. A few pages or chapters only had been given him before this, and he was greatly pleased in becoming the owner of the volume. After receiving it he said, " My brethren and sisters, this is my re solve : the dust shall never cover my new Bible ; the moth shall never eat it; the milldew shall not rot it. : My light ! My joy I" Dear children, is riot this a good resolu tion for you to make? Among the gifts bestowed by kind friends, every one of you has, I suppose, a Bible. Once it WAS your " new Bible," and it cannot be very old now. It would be, a sad sight to, see the dust gathering uuaisturbed upon it day by day, and moths making it their home, as it lay unnoticed in some corner of your shelf. Do you, every day read some part of it, keeping in your mind that it is God's Book ? How sweet thus to become acquainted with Jesus, the children's friend. And then, I am sure it will not be long before you too can say of that blessed: book, " bly light ! my Joy:!",. The Bitterness of Falsehood.

A little fellow came running into the house, exclaiming, 0, sister Mary, I've such a pretty thing. It's a piece of glass, and it's all red ! When i look through it, every thing looks red too--the trees; houses,, ~vveen'grass, and your face, .and even your blue eyes." "Yes, John," replied Mary, "it is very beautiful, and let itie show you that you can learn a useful lesson from this pretty thing. You remember that the other day you thought every body was cross to you. You said father and, mother were all the time finding fault with you. Now Tau were like this piece of glass. Because it is red, every thing seen through it looks red : you wore cross, so you thought everybody around you was cross too. ..When you get up in the morning in a good humor, loving and help ing everybody, they.top will seem ,kind and. loving toward you. Noi remember, and always be what you wish. others to be— kind, gentle and loving; and they, seen through this beautiful color of your dispo sition, will seem more beautiful than ever." Lave hi the Bible: A poor boy who was emplojr.ecl all• the week in 'taking care of cattle, was so anx ious to learn the Virord of God, that he used to take the Bible into the field with him ; and in the course of the year s he committed to tuemery nearly two thousand verses. filr Ike Titbits. Air-Castles. The hum of many voices came through the open .window. The tones were caught by the lily bells and roses that adorned the beautiful garden without, and their echo came back to mo r on-invalid, upon my weary couch. I listened and thought :- "Italy, the land, of vine - s; the.embodi ment of earthly loveliness; shall he my fu ture home," The words came to me in the well-known tones of the 'enthusiastic Kate. ~ "I love to picture a darling little cottage, with vines clambering up its sides, and a noble son of genius standing with easel in hand, where the soft breezes fan his dark locks, and I looking on so proudly." Imag inative girl, I murmured, will the future be true to your dreams? I will seek the wilds of Scotland," said another, whom I knew to be Ellen; so fond of the poets. " Its moors and glens I love to talk of; and the 'Lady of the Lake''shall be my song, as I, with charming company, wind among this land's far-famed natural scenery;, yould one become tired of earth in such a Paradise ? methinks its -hills and dales are strangers to murmuring sounds." "I would not wander far away,"' said the timid. Carrie;. "home has charms to lure me as long as life shall last, and when wealth• shall be mine, I will cause to be reared,' a splendid mansion on the 'spot where during childhood I have sported;,, my parents' silver locks shall be, sheltered by it, their last breath taken with my hands upon their brow?. I wonld -have my last resting-place within the shade of no other trees than the maples that f have ever been my pleasant care." " On the broad,'peaceful Pacific shore, in the very place which commands the widest view of its blue waves, I would dwell, and list to the mournful suiging of its waters when sadness lingers in my heart, for father, mother, and a true-souled brother, rests in its weedy bottom. Do you blame me?" 'said ..Yennie, and I imagined the ea-, ble-clad girl, winding her arm within that of Ellen, her chosen conficlent, and lifting her mournful eyes to her. Who could blame one, for wishing to linger near the graves o I departed loved ones? It remained yet for the thoughtful Mary to picture her • air-castle. " Afrio's wilds, and the sea islands •need• teachers to-point them upward," said she, in > her gentle tones. 4 I will clasp the Bible for, a com pass and go to them." Years fled away. I heard a ringing laugh through a farm-house window ' and stepped in to learn the cause. Our Italy Kate was churning, and her sportive eyes raised, not to a widely-known.painter with easel in hand, but to, a frank, open-faced farmer, with axe in hand; about to fell some of America's forest trees. You ask, does Ellen's tripping feet wan der o'er moor and glen of Scotland? Nay, she has taken the sainted Mary's place, where toil, instead of unalloyed, pleasure, is her lot. Carrie, the_hfup.c, girl, has schpol ed herself , to•a fardistant' clime c :fer youthful choice took her across the broad Atlantic, and she haszlearned - with:wreath ing smiles to say of that place, "My home."

A Scrap of. llistory It may not be uninteresting to read the following extracts, from Irving's Life of Washington, concerning the armies of the Revolution at the beginning of Ahe war: Washington reconnoitered The British posts from various points of view. Every thing about them was in admirable order. The works appeared to be constructed with military science, the tdbops to be in a high • state of discipline. The American - camp, on the contrary, disappointed him. He had expected too find eighteen or twenty, thousand men under arms; there were not much more than fourteen thousand. He had.expected to find some degree of system and discipline; whereas all, were raw mill tia. * * In riding ,throughout the, camp, Washington observed that nine thou sand of the troops belonged to Massachu setts; the rest were from other provinces. Many were sadly in want of clothing, and all, said Washington, were strongly imblied with the spirit of insubordination, which they 'mistook for independence. " One of the encampments, however, was in: striking contrast, with the rest, and might vie with those of the British for order and exactness. Here were tents and marques pitched. in the English style . ; sol diers- well drilled and of equipped,; everything had, an air of diseipline and subordination. It was .a body of Rhode , -Island troops, who were pronounced the best dikiplined and appointed troops in the army?' The Iron Duke and the Connaught Hoye. During the Peninsular war an Irish reg iment from ,Connaught became notorious for the unscrupulous manner in which they plundered the inhabitants of Portugal and Spain wherever the British army marched or•eneatnped, but were also, distinguished for their.pluck. Wellington at last became so eitasperated by their lawless conduct that he' had ;the regiment Raraded for the .purpose Of striking them vvitb. terror by having every tenth man shot. Before giv ingsuch a bloody order, hoWever, he wished to state his reasons for it, anCbegau to ad dress the regiment thus " You are. thieves, , , rebbers, out-throats, vagabonds—everything bit. cowards." This ,compliment, to their courage, although at the expense 'of every other virtue, so pleased the regiment that• they at once gave three 'eligers with such a burnt, of enthusiasm as qiilte' overwhelMed the:lron, Duke, and lookingat them a mo ment in silence he .turned his hdrse and rode away wi hout sayino another word. The Origin of Whittling. Probably-few persons are aware ilist this denuratie, down' eastrecreation is of king ly origin.
