We 'have here a new Dictionary of the Latin
tongtie, compiled from the most approved sources
'by one of the best and most sucessful Classical
teachers in our country at the present time. The
'Grammar and Readers of Dr. 'Bunions have had
'an initnense gale, and have received high com
mendations from the most competent judges; A.
Latin DlCtlOnary from such a source is certain
to receive•attention from educators. • And when
its oharaeter a'nd Merits shall have been made
fully, knikidn, we are persuaded that it will speed
ily, take the place of many of the imperfect die-
Vontiries which still find a place in many schools
aind'Colleges. The ripe soholardhip and long ex
peileride of Dr. Bunions have fitted him to pro
duce the'very work needed by American stu
dents 'of' the'Latin language. Its distinguishing
vitullitrittes are the following: 1. It contains
tlie:words .the Latin classic authors usu
'alli 'teed in schools and colleges. 2. The ;pan
•tity of syllables'is distinctly marked, exeept in a
few proper'names, and words of foreign origin,
in which'it, has not been ascertained. or clearly
deoided'by analogy. 3. The etymology of simple
thnivative words, wherever ascertained, is noted.
4. In compound words formed by the union of
fitti-brlinore`words without change of form, the
component.parts are indicated simply by a by
'pion (-)_betyteen them, as per-suadeo, pro-mitto,
&o. 'Einar reach - word having different class
es of meanings, the Proper or Primary is awlays
given first, distinguished by the itbreviatlon
Prop. or 1. Prop., prefixed. Then follow the
other .meanings properly designated. 6. An im
portant;feature scarbely to be seen in the school
dbitiOuttries in general use, is the Latin Syno
nyms, which are treated with great care apd dis
crimination.
Altogether, this is certainly an important con
tribution in aid of classical study, as will be ap
parent to every scholar upon examination.
Messrs. Eherdon 4 Company have brought out
the work in handsome style. The paper is ex
cellent and the type clear, so that the whole ap
?Carmine is most inviting to the student.

This is a book by an able and experienced

(minuend it to the perusal of all—especially to
parents and young physicians. The errors it

suggestions it makes are Worthy of high consid

et` for lo"wOuld take what suited his
dxkfifeitient6. witilty.t . asking,any AM
tatraiallig Eoiiiit little girl Watoktine'
from school with her cousin. As it hap
pened, no one was in the house when they
arrived, though it was evident that some
one must be near, for the babe was asleep
in the cradle, and the doors were open.
" I am very hungry," said Robert; " and
as good luck will have it, here is some nice
looking- cake just taken from the oven.
Come, Mary, I will give you a piece."
" No, thank you," said Mary ; " pray
do n't cut it, it would be stealing."
" Stealing !" replied Robert with a loud
laugh ; " stealing ! to take a piece of cake
when I am at home !"
"Yes," said Mary, "it is stealing; be
cause you would not do it if mother was
here. You know that she would not allow
you to cut a rich cake, just from the oven."
" Then I shall do it before she comes,"
said Robert; and he buried a knife in the
loaf, which fell crumbling to the table.
His mother was very angry with hirn,.and
called him a wicked, mischievous boy; but
she di¬ tell him that these were the
first steps toward being a thief. Perhaps
that mother would have been greatly
shocked had any one called her boy by
such a dreadful name; yet mothers,• fathers,
children, all, should know that nobody
steals a great thing first. Where is the
little boy who helps himself to what he
likes, because no one is present to forbid
him; who takes little matters fbr his play,
and then, excuses himself by saying that
he did not know to whom they belonged !
Let that little boy beware. It is sufficient
for us to know, that the thing without an,
apparent owner is not ours. Let us be
ware of the first step toward being a thief.
Where is the little girl who takes slyly
from the table or pantry what she would
,not take openly, or before the eyes of her
friends; who watches the opportunity when
mother§ or sisters are absent, to take from
.drawers, workbasket, or cloiet what she
would not venture to take' when they are at
home ? Beware, little girl; beware !'this
is the down-hill path, which, if followed,
'will lead you to infamy, and disgrace. No
matter how small the thing you take—a
pin, a needle, a bit of thread, a lump of
sugar; the smallest matter, if taken slyly,
is a theft. Neither is it any excuse to say
:that we are at home. There is right and
ownership at home, as well as in other
places; and the child who does not regard
the property of parents, brothers, and sis
ters, will not be more scrupulous toward
strangers.
Be honest, children ;_ you need not fear
being too much so. No matter who thinks
you too particular. Honesty is a rare vir
tue, and an honest child will grow into an
honest man or woman. Thus was it with
little Mary. Her mother was a widow, and
;people, called her poor; but it was soda
found that she possessed a treasure in this
trustworthy little girl.
As she grew up, Mary became so noted
for her fidelity and conscientious disposi
tion, that she was placed at' last in a very
responsible situation, which she filled with
great credit to herself, and to the entire
satisfaction of her employers. It was thus
the 'good girl supported her "mother" when
she was old, and educated her younger
sisters. •
Not so with Robert. His habit of help
ing himself was not long confined to the
comparatively small matter of eating and
drinking. It soon became necessary to
furnish the house with a new supply of
locks, and even these were not effectual in
guarding the property of his parents. He
at last left his home with a large _snna of
money which he had purloined from his
father's desk, and has not since been heard
of
What do you suppose will be the end of
this boy, who began his downward race by
helping himself ' without asking leave ?
Would you be willing to take his prospect
of respectability and usefulness in this
world, and of happiness in the world to
come ? No, lam sure that you would not.
Then beware of his first steps !—Family
Treasury.
Little Nay.
Every one seemed to feel very sorry for
little May Norton. Children would stop
in the midst of their merriment when her
name was mentioned, and with tearful eyes
say, " Poor, dear May."
What did it all mean ? If you had
asked one of those little ones, the reply
would have been,"May only a short time
ago had both mother and father—now they
are dead." Then the tears would have
come again into the little speaker's eyes,
and your heart ,would have felt very sorry
for ber, too.
What had the child done that God should
have thus afflicted her? Did not he love
May any longer ? Oh, yes, and it was be
cause he loved her so very dearly that the
trial came. It was to make May's home
happier, more attractive than ever before.
do not mean . that the 'house Nyhere the
child was staying was more joyful. Oh
no; it seemed very sad and loncly since
fathe,r and mother had gone; still May's
home was happier, for her home was:not on
earth, but in heaven. To be sure, she had,
not yet reached it; but there it was, glo
riously bright in the skies, and there both
father and mother mere waiting to welcome
her.
Each day as it passed away would bring
the child nearer home.
Heaven used to seem very far away to
iViay4 . , but now it seemed'nearer. She had
oft ahead of the angels' joyful song; but
now-that the voices of both father - And mother
joinedin that chorus, she seemed to hear
the heavenly music very clearly, ever and
again.
Before her father died, May used to think
of Jesus as far off in liewien ; but now it
made her very happy to know that he was
close beside her, when she felt so sad and
lonely. It was a sweet thOnght to the
little one that He had promised to be " a
" a father unto the fatherless." And= She
could almost. hear the Saviour saying,
" When thy father - and- I .mother = forsake
thee, tgen the Lord will `take th * ei.iip,"' as
kneeling, she would pray God to take her
in his almighty arms, and make her his
own little one : to help her follow in that
angel mother's footsteps, and so to live,
that when life should be ending, "his 'rod'
and his' staff would comfort her too, when
crossing the dark valley.
Shall we. then in pity call that child
" Poor little May ?" Poor in having such
a happy home to go to,! Poor in possess
ing such a loving 'Saviour ! Oh, no;
rather let us call her Rich.little May ;"•
havithg so many treasures la - d up in heaven.
She has /oat - ae4her fattier nor mother.
They have only gone hothe Short4ime
before her, and in that glorious heavenly
mansion they are waiting to welcome their
little May.—N. Y. Observer.-

P RES BYTERIAN lIANNER.---SATU RD AY, AUGUST 2, 1862.
Such vulaar , and profane language I . had
never heard from the lips of- a child. One
day a lady called him to her. -
" Do you go to school, Willie ?"
A gruff "No," was the only reply.
" Can you read?"
" No,, not much : and I don't want to."
The lady pitied the boy. He bad no en
couragement or instruction at home. His
parents were very 'poor, and' what is far
worse, vicious, and the people With whom
he lived saw little to encourage thein to
instruct him. After a few kind inquiries,
" Will you call a minute as you go back,
Willie ? "
Ile assented, with a look of wonder, and
she procured a nice, , new Testament, and
wrote his name in it. In due time he call
ed, seemed pleased at the interest the lady
felt in him, and promised her 'that he
would try to pick out at least one verse a
day in his new Testament; and that he
would go to meeting the next Sabbath.
Now a year has passed. Among those
who worship steadily at yonder sanctuary,
there is not amore punctual or attentive
worshipper than Willie H . I love
to watch him as hp sits, with eyes riveted
upon the minister, seeming to drink every
word he utters. The same little Testament
is seen in the Sabbath School as often as
the week comes round, with his lesson well
learned, and his hair neatly brushed back
from a fine, open brow, and his clean; go-to
meeting suit. You would not recognize
hiin as the ragged, rough vulgar boy of 'a
year ago. He still passes my house with
his daily errand, but the children are -no
longer called 'away at his approach. He is
as modest and respectful as he was formerly
rude and profane.
Give as you would-Take.
My bairnies dear, when you go out
With ,other , bairns-to rash,
Take heed of every thing you d),
Of every , word you say;
From tricky, wee mischievous loons,
Keep back, my bairns, keep back;
And aye to , all such usage, give
: As you woUldlike tO
To twist the mouth and call ill names
Is surely very bad;
Then all such doings still avoid—
They'd make your mother• sad.
To shield the weakly from the "strong,
Be neither slow nor slack,
And aye to all such usage give
As you would like to take.
A kindly word,, a soothing look,
Have ready aye for all;
We are one Maker's
He made us, great and'
We're all the children of his care;
Oh, then, for his dear 'sake,
Be sure, such usage then to give
As you would like to take.

Wind, the Vital Current of the World
[From Chambers' Journal.]
All true power is simple in its grandeur,
and grand in its simplicity; this is espe
ci ally the case with Nature in all, her Work
ings; she moves not with sudden start, but
with calm progression. Even when she
seems most perturbed, her agitation is but
the disguise of her order.
There is none of the forces that rule the
material world which appears so arbitrary
.and uncertain as the wind that bloweth
where it listeth; yet is there none more
clearly subject to fixed laws, or more beau
tifully dependent upon settled causes.
Whether it be the tornado uprooting the
forest, the zephyr just stirring,the leaves,
the simoom of the desert, or the monsoon
of the ocean, all wind is the result of agen
cies directly traceable to their sources. It
does not disturb the harmony of creation
—it preserves it.
There are two propertids- of air -which
combine in producing wind—its capability
of expansion by heat, and its elasticity.
Air sun;
not heated at the top by the rays of
the they pass through it with very
little effect. But when they meet and are
stopped by the earth, they heat the earth so
much that the air immediately over its sur
face becomes much hotter than that above.
Now, because hot air must ex.pand, the
heated poition rises to the top, overflowing
the colder around it; but this creates a di
minished density below, and the surround
ing cold air, by its own elasticity, rushes in
to supply the deficiency. Thus is "caused
wind; an inward rush of cold air below,
an outward rush of warm air above. "'"
This may be.-illustrated and cproved by
the . following simple experiment : Light
a fire in one of two roonis , havin. ° .a door of
communication between them. When the
room has become warm, open the door, and
hold a lighted-candle in 'the doorway. It
will - be found that, on holding the. candle
near the floor, the flame 'wiebe strongly
draWn toward the,teated room by the in
coming current of cold air, while near the
ceiling it will be driven toward the cold
room by the outgbing current - of hot 'air.
In the-middle,at the point exactly between
the two currents, the dame, will be almost
stationary. • -
The power.of the sun'to heat, the earth
is, of course, greater in places under its
vertical than tinder its oblique rays. At
the:equator, therefore, the air is always ris
ing from its heat; consequently, the cold
air of- the poles is continually rushing each
way toward the equator, alongthe surface
of the earth; while at the top of the at
mosphere the hot air of the equator is' con
stantly rushing toward; the poles.
The questionlnaturally arises - here—llow
comes it to pass,- then, that' the winds in
our country and the temperate zones gen
erally, blow often fromthe equator toward
the :poles? - The :reason is simple : The
overflowing current' of hot air from the
equator becomes cooled, in travelling
through apace • by the time it reaches the
thirtieth parallel of-latitude in either
hemisphere, or thereabouts, it is -colder
than the current rollino. 6 in the
rection below, the tendency of which is,
of course, to get warmer in its progress ;
accordingly, the currents change places, and
that which was upper becomes, the'inder,
with, a contrary movement. About the po
lar circle, their relative position is again
changed Ly like causes, and the air which
was uppermost at the equator , resumes its
place above. Warm :air from all points,
converges and descendsupon the , poles, the
cold air of which sinks and spreads . idev
ery direction, giving rise to:the , polangales•
common f in high ;latitudes ;i so gthat at -the ,
poles there is . a' constantly.descending ! cur
rent of hot air, while at, the:equator there
is a constanly ascending stream.
So far as we have ~gone at presentrwb
have accounted only for winds to and from
the equator and poles—that is, for North
and South winds. What, then, occasions,
Bastelly, and Westerly minds 9
These wise from influence of a totally
Mg=
different force—namely, the' earth's rota
tion on its a;..is. The earth is constantly
rolling round from West to East with
great velocity. As the earth is spherical,
this velocity gradually decreases from the
equator, where the speed is greatest, to thd
poles, at' which rit is nothing: Now, when
the colCair iS 'driven' toward the equator
in the manner before etplained, it receives
no increase of momentum Eastward, and,
therefore, the nearer it gets to the equator,
the more it is left'behind in the West by
the quicker advance EaStward of the
earth's surface there; hence its current be
comes a North-east or South-ea,st wind.
The Westerly winds are the converse of
this. The hot air rolling from the equator
toward the poles with a strong Easterly di
rection,•gets far in advance of the more
slowly-moving•earth there, and blows more
and more from the West.
Such is an outline of the general laws
which rule the course of the wind. By
their operation, a constant and wonderful
circulation of currents is kept up in the
atmosphere, purifying and regulating its
temperature. Just as in the human body
the life blood travels through every part,
giving vitality and strength to the whole,
so the air, which may be truly called the
vital current of the world, is in constant
motion: It visits every clime, to bless
mankind with. health and energy, to roll
the 'clouds of heaven, bringing the showers
that raise the blossoms of Spring and the
fruits, of Autumn, and to waft from shore
to shore ships laden with the riches of the
earth.
These general' laws are, nevertheleas,
subject to manv modifying influences; suck
as screening. clouds and-the difference of
seasons, Which decrease the heating power
of the:sun on the earth, and vary the rela
tive. warmth of the, currents in different
places.; .The unequal and irregular distri
bution of land ;and water also exerts a dis
turbing influence; for the surface of the
earth becomes much more rapidly heated
than that of the sea, and cools much more
quickly. Thus the presence of large ,con-
Clients or oceans affects the direction of
thewind.
-To this last influence is due the refresh
jog' sea bre'eze, so ;ardently lotored for by
those condemned to remain in London dun
, log the dog-days. On a hot day, the air
'over the sea is much cooler than that on
land, and so there blows a delicious breeze
from sea to shore;' but, as land cools more
quickly thanwater, after sunset the land
breeze blows - , from, shore to sea. This
may be easily - understood and illustrated by
placing a saucer' of warm water, to repre
sent land, in a dish of cold, to represent
sea. The flame' or smoke of a candle will
be blown from ev9ry side toward thetsaucer
by a mimic sea breeze. If you fill the.dish
With warm, and the saucer with cold water,
au exactly ;apposite „effect will be produced',
corresponding to' the land breeze.
The, great subject of wind has been but
just glanced •at here; a voltune might he
written upon what'is known concerning it,
and much 'remains to be discovered as to
the causes of whirl Winds, 'hurricanes, and
storms of all kinds, as well as local winds,
confined to certain countries or parallels of
latitude. Many interesting ,fields of in
quiry lie open to the student, and many ar
dent votaries of science are eagerly explor
ing' them; but from every fresh discovery
we learn again the old lesson with -which
we set out, that Nature, even in her wild
eit mood, works in harmony. lt was this
lesson which the poetic imagination ot the
old Greeks taught by their legends of the
music of the spheres; and every investiga
tion from their days to ours 'has confirmed
it to the seekers after wisdom.--Sciatiltd

West Point, on the West bank of the
river, and neav the middle of the High
lands, is, perhaps; the most interesting spot
in the whole region. We all have great
reason as American citizens to thank God
that be has located it so far from that un
happy line, on the other side of which hu
man slavery breeds treason •against human
liberty and the American Union. Thus
much- for a hasty glance at , the. historic att.
tractions of the 'Highlands. Let us look
for one moment what the Creative Hand
has done for them. See this most noble
and beautiful of rivers. Now it, spreads
out above old "King's Ferry" into a glo
riously-bordered lake, some two miles wide;
with a bay running into the cozy and pic
turesque village of Peekskill on the East.
There are now 'at West Feint 174 Cadets,
28 of whom comprise the first class, 26 the
second class, 32 the third class, and XBB the
fourth class. About 90 appointments have
lately been made, but are not included in

Zeitung, of May 2cl, there is a de
scription of Lenk's new gun. Up to the
present moment only three kinds of guns
have been made. They are rifled four
pounders, for brigade and cavalry service,
eight-pounders as reserve artillery, and
three-pounders, which can be carried by,
beasts of burden, for use in mountainous
districts. The last-mentioned guns, which
are of bronze, weigh one hundred and
fifty Aultrian pounds ; but trials are now
being made with three-pounders of cast
steel which weigh no more than forty-four
pounds. The range of the three-pounders
is 3,000 paces, and their accuracy is said to
be extraordinary. Before the end of the
next month the army will be supplied with
batteries of four-pounders, and
-it 13 confi
dently expected that Lenk's gun cotton
will supersede powder. The carriages of
the new guns are of iron, and they are so
constructed that they can be taken to
pieces, and, incase of need, carried by the
artillerymen. Some interesting experi
ments have recently been made with gun
cotton at Venice, but their results are not
positively known. It is, however, related
that boats have been blown out of water by
gun eotton which- had been ignited by
means of electricity. Gan cotton steeped
in -water for a month and then properly
dried has been found to have lost none of
its explosive power."
A Suspicious Character.
Some months since a Manchester man,
visiting in the country, strolled into the
village church on Sunday. During the
service he wa.s electrified and gratified by
the sparkling of a pair of eyes which were
riveted upon his face. After the service
he saw the possessor of the shining orbs
leave the'church alone, and emboldened by
her glances, he ventured to follow-her, his
heart beating with rapture. He saw her
look back, and fancied that the fair maiuen
evinced some emotion at recognising him.
He then quickened his pace, and she ac
tually slackened hers, as if to et him come
up with her. " Noble young creature 1"
thought he, " her artless and warm heart
is superior to the bonds of custom. He
had reached'within a stone's throw of her.
She suddenly halted, and turned her face
toward him. His heart swelled to burst
ing. He reached the spot where she stood.
She began to speak. He took off his hat
as if doing` reverence to an angel. " Are
you a. pedler ?" she asked. "No, my dear•
girl,. that is not my occupation," he. re
plied. "'Well, I don't know," she contin
ued, not very bashfully, and eyeing him
very sternly,.;" I rather thought, when I
saw you in the church ? that you looked
like a pedler who passed off a bad shilling
on me 'three weeks ago, and so I determined
to keep an eye on you. Brother says if he
catches the fellow he'll wring his neck for
him ;. and I'm not sure but you're the
good-for-nothing fellow after all !" He left
the village in a hurry and never returned.
His sensitive nature had received a severe
shock.

From the beginning of our present National troubles, this

high and fearless ground in favor of the Constitution and the .

the integrity or the Union. Its utterances have been Stir
