Ey Martin Pairie,'N.7).; . LLD. Seventh Edition. Pp. 1,130, Bvo. New-York: Harper 4 Brothers. For sale in Pittsburgh. This is evidently a learned work ; the produc tion of a philosophical mind. It manifests great industry and unusual powers of discrim ination. , The doctrine of Vitalism is maintained, in opposition to that of Organic Chemistry, Sol idism, and Eiumoralism. The physiological department must be enter taining and instructive to every investigating mind. The pathology and therapeutics belong more definitely to the medical practitioner; though 'even in these branches, the common readermtljind a benefit amply repaying his time • and attention. The Faculty we should suppose would, one and all, desire the volume. Without it the library of the modern physician would be imperfect. ' The work was first published in 1847 ; and the fact that it is already in its seventh edition, is in contestable evidence of its great. value to the medical rprofession. THE RISEN •REDEEMER: The Gospel History front the Resurrection to the Day, of Pentecost. Sy , Dr. Kilts:masher, .D.D., Author of "Elijah the Tishbite." Translated from the German by John T. Betts. 12m0., pp. 298. NeW-York! Robert Carter 4. Brothers. For sale by R. S. Davis, Wood Street, Pittsburgh. The l]indily resurrection of Christ'constitutes one of the cardinal points of the Gospel system. Therepostie emphatically exclaims, ".If Christ be not risen, then is our' presetting - Vain, and your faith is also vain." Knowing the import ance of this doctrine as underlaying the Chris tian's faith„ infidels have for ages made it a spe cial object of assault, but as Dr. }lran:masher Well-remarks, "however zealously the rash work of destruction has been prosecuted, it has, up to the present :Win; been a failure. The miracle of the third day has resisted all levers and engines exerted against it by refined subtility, as com pletely as i k etimikwere no more than the jug glery of a paltry legerdemain." Still, however, the G4Pelaecount of the resurrection and the eventwoonneeted with it, seems to many encom paesed, with grave, if not, insuperable ; and, to such especially we commend the present work as one of the prominent ends for whichit was written was, to clear away the diffi cult* of the ;conscientious doubter in regard to this“ subject. The attention of all may be profitably bestowed upon these resurrec tion' discourses, as, besides the strengthening of the faith of the wavering, they were -writ ten with.e; view also to general Christian edifica tion.; They., will be found rich in doctrinal, practical, and experimental suggestions.

Now, shell tell you what it is The children mostly prize: And how they'll stop their whispering, And open wide their eyes? A story; yes, a story, please! Do tell us, teacher dear: And then they strict attention give, That they the whole may hear. And much I hope that they will learn, Through the instruction given, " To tread the road that leads to bliss; To happinets and heaven. ' Little Milly, who felt very happy sitting in the sunshine, was' anxious to do some °. - thin to please te good God who had made such a beautiful world. So, as she learned her verse—" And if thy rother trespass against the seven times in a day, and seven times in a .day - turn again to thee, saying I repent, thou shalt forgive him "—her gray eyes looked very thoughtful, and her small mouth grew firm with some very important resolution. Pretty soon down stairs she came to the dining-room, and found nobody tbere.but brother Frank, who had two years the start of her in the race of life, but was not so far ahead as you might suppose. He was looking very discontented. " Real mean !" were the first words that jumped from his mouth, though you couldn't have expected anything better from such a pont. " Real mean to spend such a day as this in school !" and the book be held in his hand was trans ferred to his foot and sent spinning in the air, from whence it returned with a broken back and two fluttering leaves. "0 Frank!" cried Milly, isn't that my arithmetic ? and you know I was trying to keep it like a new book." " I declare it is," said Frank, in a tone of real regret. "I thought it was mine; I'm sorry; wont you forgive me ?" "Yes,"said Milly, slowly picking up the scattered leaves, and thinking of her verse, " yes, I suppose so ;" and under her breath she added, " One." Breakfast over, they started for school together. " Milly," cried Frank, suddenly, "here 'comes a big dog—tongue out, red eyes! Look out for hydrophobia 1" ' Poor Milly ran forward in great terror, too frightened to see where she stepped. : Down went one foot into a treacherous hole, and the rest of Milly came tumbling after. This was a serious mishap ; for the skin was quite rubbed from one dimpled elb • and •worst of all, one of the morocco- shoei —bright as a mirror—had a great, white, unsightly gaze. Milly burst into tears, not about the elbow, for she could bear pain like a hero, and she knew that Nature, with the help of that experienced old tailor, Time, would soon set in a patch so nicely, joined that she could never find the seam; but the new shoe, that was hopeless. " 0 Frank ! how could' you ?" cried Milly. " And the dog was only good old Cato that wouldn't hurt a fly !" " Why, Milly, I'm sure. I never thought you'd fall. I only meant to give you a nice little run. It's top bad you're hurt. I'm so sorry ; wont you forgive me ? " Yes," said Milly, swallowing a lump in her throat," I'll try. Two," she sighed softly, to herself. At school Frank was still very aggravat ing, and 'Willy had great temptation to for get her verse. He' borrowed her slate-pen eil, and lost it, and once, when she went -up to her class, his feet grew suddenly long, and Milly, stumbling over them, fell, to her great mortification, amid the laughter of the school. But Frank was so sorry. How could he help his feet being so big? He tried very hard to keep them under the desk, but there was only room there for one. He was so sorry; and patient Milly had to forgive him. There were one or two other grievances in the morning which I haven't time to relate. We will pass on to the time when school was out, and Milly found, to her great dismay, that there bad been a sudden change in the weather, and the rain was pouring -in tor rents, but chivalrous Frank borrowed an umbrella, and tucking Milly's plump hand under his arm, started off as valiant as Greatheart. [Se cc e . "Look out !" cried Milly. You swing the umbrella so, that half the time it drips on my head." " A little water , wont hurt you, will it?" cried careless Frank. But when they reached home, poor Milly found that the -coloring-matter had run from the umbrella, and long dingy streams disfigured the cherry lininof her pretty hood. "Well, now, that is too bad,"* cried Frank, observing her blank look of (Hs may " I declare' Dot,' I'd change caps in a minute with you, if you would like Neat little Milly looked at Frank's bat tared thatching, and mournfully shook her head. • Well, Milly, you know I did n't mean to. I'm sure you'd forgive me if you knew how sorrl I felt." "I do forgive you," said Minh with an effort, and she counted something on her fingers. " Seven," said she to herself, with a great sigh of relief. " What have you been counting all day, Milly ?" asked Frank, curiously. Milly did not answer; but as she ran in to dinner, a very self-satisfied smile was on her face, and she repeated to herself, " Seven times. Well, I hope God has been pleased, for it has been very hard ; and I'm so glad it's over, for I do IA think I could hold out any longer." It rained so hard in the afternoon, that Milly and Frank were allowed to stay at home and study in the play-room.- " 0 dear," said Frank, with a yawn. "Before I begin this 'rule of three which puzzles me,' let's have one little tune out of that music-box Uncle Charley gave you." Milly's eyes brightened. She could not resist the temptation, andrunning from the room, she soon returned with the treasure. Carefully-she put in the little golden key, and turned it with the greatest caution; but mischievous Frank slipped a litge wooden wedge into the delicate works, and when she paused and listened, with smiling lips;'and head turned on the side, the wonderful box was mute. For the Little Ones. " Seven Timcs," PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.--WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1863. "What is it ?" cried she, turning quite pale. • " 0," said Frank, magnificently, "don't be alarmed. I'm a great magician. Just let me put my finger in the box one second, and all will be right." Milly entrusted it to him with trembling hands. In went Frank' confident fingers, but they pulled out the wedge a little too roughly. Snap ! went some delicate spring; there was a dreary noise, as if the whole box were going to fly in pieces, and then all was still. Frank examined the box with a dismayed face. "Milly," said he, at length, with an effort, "it's broke--spoiled ! Can you ever forgive me ?" " No !" said little Milly, stamping her little foot and bursting into vehement tears. "I can't, and I needn't, either. It's the eighth time ! My dear, darling music-box ! You did it on purpose! You're very bad to me! run right to your room and tear your kite, and spoil every thing I can find !" • Poor remorseless Frank offered no oppo sition, and across the hall she ran, with streaming eyes and burning 'cheeks, and stumbled right into Uncle Charley's arms. " Elity tity, what's the matter now ?" But before the words were'out of his mouth ? Milly was pouring forth ber story. - Uncle Charley looked grave when she finished. " And so you think it is right - to ba,an'gry now ?" "Yes,"said little Milly, impetuously. "It is quite right. I've forgiven hint sev en times. This makes eiaitt.' " But didn't you know," said Uncle Charley, " That there is another verse.where Jesus tells Peter not only , to forgive his brother seven times, but until seventy times seven 7" "Seventy times seven !" cried . Milly, looking quite bewildered. "O, I'M sorryJ ever begun. I shall have to-give up trying to please. God , that,way." " I hope not," said Uncle Charley. " But you don't know how hard it is, to, keep forgiving and forgiving," wept " Yes, ,I, think I do," said Uncle Charley, smiling. " And I shouldn't wonder if the disciples knew it, too," said, he, half to him self; " when, as soon as the , command was given, they cried, with one accord. Lord, increase our faith.' Yes little Milly," he continued, aloud, " It certainly is hard', but we must alwayir keep trying, and not count the times, either; for I think`' severity times seven,' means that we should always forgive." " 0, I can't do it," Sobbed Milly; turn ing determinedly away from poor Frank, who stood in the doorway, the image of despair. " I'll give you my new book of travels, 'Milly, and save all my money till ; I can buy you another box," cried Frank, in, doleful tones. But Milly would not listen. " Very well," said Uncle Charley, "I would advise you not to say Our Father,' for a day or two." " Why 7" said Milly, in great surprise. " Why, just think how very sad it would be to have to pray—' And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive Frank, who has trespassed against us.'" Milly's cheeks grew burning red. She hesitated a moment, and then crying " can't give up Our Father '" she ran to the 'sorrowful figure in the door'' threw her arms around his neck, and had a " good on the left pocket of his brown round • 4 out. .

" —Lynde Palmer. fax tl~e jfiroibt. " Your father is coming home," said Mrs. Dunlap, in a constrained voice, up from a letter which she had just taken from an envelope. There was something unnat ural in her manner, and an unusual pale ness in her face. • Three children started from different parts of the room, and crowding around their mother, answered, in many joyful words, to the unexpected intelligence. " I'm so glad ! I'm so glad I" shouted little Andrew, five years old, dancing and clapping his hands. " And I'm so glad," said Alice—grave womanly Alice, who had caught the sun light of just ten Summers in her golden hair. She was standing at her mother's knees, and looking into and reading her face. " To-morrow we shall 'see him." Mrs. Dunlap tried, but vainly, to look joyful. "I hope—" Alice faltered in her words. "I hope, mother, that he is n't—.." She checked herself, and the hue, of her mother's face was reflected in her own--- - - "is n't sick, or—or—wounded P' A momentary shiver ran along the nerves of Mrs. Dunlap, rattling the open letter in her hand. - "He 's been sick, dear," she replied, partly turning away, so that Alice might not read all that she knew was writing itself in her countenance; and, leaving-the children, she went to her own room, and shutting the door, fastened it. • Her face was white as she reilpened the letter Which she bad held .crushed in her Band, and read it for the second time. It was from an officer of the company in which her hus band held the rank of first lieutenant, and stated briefly that he had been wounded in a recent battle, and was on his way hoine in a Government transport. As to the character of the wound, nothing was said: It was almost a year since Mrs. Dunlap had parted from her husband—parted with him in the flush of health and in the vigor of manhood—and what a year of trial and fear it had been 1 He had taken part in many battles, bearing himself bravely al ways, and had passed from the ranks to a first lieutenancy ; but now, after a year's absence, he was coming home. The long and anxiously looked for day was at hand. To-morrow she was to see him again. To morrow I Ah, when the veil of. to-morrow was lifted, and stood face to face with the long absentr—what then ? Mrs. Dunlap had borne up all day as calmly as possible, for the sake of her chil dren; but, as the evening closed down, strength began to fail, and she withdrew to one of the chambers, that she might be alone, and let the pent-up anguish of mind that was almost suffocating her, have unre strained utterance in sobs and weeping. For a little while body and soul were cm; raised. Then the overleaping floods drew; baak.and she felt calmer and stronger. " Mother ?" It was the voice of Alice:. Mrs. Dunlap turned and looked into her child's face, that wore a strange, almost-a stern expression. " 'net is it, dear ?" • Mrs. Dunlap con . trolled her vow°. Coming Homo. " Father is wounded I" The mother started and shuddered. Then asked quickly : " How do you know? Who told you ?" " No one told me; but I feel it mother. Did n't the letter say he was wounded ?" Mrs. Dunlap was silent. Alice could bear the pressure on her feelings no longer. A strong cry as of one in sudden pain, broke from her lips, and throwing herself upon her mother, she wept convulsively. Let us hope for the best. To-morrow we shall see him, and know all." Pale and weak from suffering, Mrs. Dun lap on the morrow was sitting with Alice leaning against her, waiting for the return of her husband's brothers, who had gone down to the landing at which the transport bearing sick and wounded soldiers were ex pected to arrive. Nine, ten, eleven o'clock had come, but they were still waiting in suspense and anguish. For more than half of the morning they had stood at the win dow, eager to catch the first sight of a mes senger, or of him in whom their hearts were bound up. How would he come ? What would be his condition? Would he come at all? The wounded die I How fruitless' questions and paralyzing fears wrought with them, bringing dismay, and terror !'" • Mrs. Dunlap, and.. Alice, who had seemed to grow to womanhood in a few hours, sat thus alone, waiting, hearkening, suffering. Andrew and May, too - young to compre hend the situation, were atiplay in the next room, that opened into a Orden, out of which a gate led to the street. Altat once 'they were still, and then May exclaimed, in a voice of glad surprise? " Why papa 1" and Andrew echoed the word— , "Papa !" It seemed to Mks: Dunlap that she was bound to the chair in which she eat. She made an- effort to rise, but could not stir. A faintness and blindness came over her. Alice had bounded to here feet, and was already half way to the door which she gained an instant afterwards. Stooping to Andrew and May, she saw her father. One arm vies around both, and he was hugging them to his heart. The other arm was bandaged. He arose as' she came forward. How pale and wasted he was ! How bronzed his fine face; ; how deep in their orbits and changed, in expression his beau , . tiful eyes ! " Father ! 0 father I" she , c.ried, giving way wildly to her 'feelings and spnnging toward;him; He had lifted himself from' his stooping posture at sight of AliCe, and advanced to, meet her, but in a weak - way: She stood still,"a pace or two distant, as if some invisible power had arrested her steps ; then'Udvanced, and laid her face gently against him, sobbing, " 0 father ! Dear, dear father !" Mrs. Dunlap heard all this but still she bad, no power to stir. She was in a kind of waking nightmare; And not until her husband entered, with the children cling ing to' hini was the spell or paralysis re moved. And so he had come home to her—come home with a shattered arm, and wasted by hardships and sickness net spoken of in letters; come home a :wreck in comparison with what he was, when, at the sound of danger, he sprang up to his country's defense. Yet, as Mrs:unlap stood tip and looked into his changed face, that bore so many lines of sulfering'and exhaustion, she said, "Thank,God, that it is no Worse!" And again, tis she laid her wet face ,against his bosom, " Thank God !" And yet again, with her hot kisses on his lips, and cheeks, and , forehead, " Thank God'', thank God I" It might have been worse. Alas! In' how, many Ahousands of instances has it not been worse. Ah, these comings home I Once, suggestive of joy; now, of sorrow. From diStant places, after a long sojourn, the beloved turn their faces homeward, and their welcome is in tears instead of smiles. They went forth strong-limbed, and in the full vigor of manhood; they come back sick or maimed, or . dead, bringing shadow instead of sunshine.

This is a Very small number if we compare it with its former greatness, but we must . not for get that Jerusalem has been often devils tated, ruined and burned, and that it is now under a cruel and servile despotism. How long will it be before the day of deliv erance shall dawn on this city where the Son of God was crucified. Among the 20,000 inhabitants, 10,000 are Jews—a degraded and unfortunate race, who are strongly attached to the walls of this city, rendered sacred, by the memories of- their fathers. The Polish or German Jews are a little better educated and more , moral than the Spanish 'Jews; but both are, for the most part, grossly ignorant. They read the Talmud a great deal more than the Old Testament, and imagine that they are performing a meritorious work be fore God 'by studying the rabbinical tradi tions. They live principally on the alms which they receive froth. the Jews in •Eu rope, Asia and America; for -they-believe that the prayers and reading of the Talmud, performed in the city ef David, help to atone for the sins committed by Abraham's posterity throughout the rest of the, world. The Greeks, or Christians of the Eastern Church, number 4,500 to 5,000 within Jerusalem. M. Gobat, after a careful in vestigation, gives a sad account of their religious, moral and social condition. No knowledge of the Word of God among them; the worship of images and relies; the min gling of spiritual things with political and material interests; tyrannical and covetous bishops, ignorant priests, fanatical monks. There are exceptions, and some Greeks, ecclesiastics, laymen, willingly listen :to evangelical preaching ) but the mass of this sect are unenlightened and degraded. The Latins or Roman Catholics in Jeru salem compose a congregation numbering .abeut 900. The patriarch, named Valerga, displays great pomposity in his dress as well as in his pastoral duties, and pretends to control the Christians of other denomi nations. ' .These Papists, who are mostly priests or monks, have frequently quarrels among themselves. The Franciscans pos BOSS large revenues, and are not disposed to obey the orders of the patriarch Valerga and the Italian priests. The Protestants compose a small commu nity-of from 450 to 500 souls. They be long to various nations—Germans, English, Swiss, eta. Several are converted Greeks or Jews. They 'enjoy 'full liberty ins the , exercise of their religion. Lastly, the Mussulinans, 8,000 to 4,000 in number, constitute thel remainder ofthe po&lution of- Jerusalem. • They make up' for,their numerical inferiority by their mil itary 'and social prerogatives. The gov ernor of the city must. be Mohammedan. He has under his command an armed force which maintains public order. The judges and other magistrates are also chosen among • the disciples of the false prophet. These Mussulmans respect the life and property of the Christians, because they fear the great Powers of Europe. But their hatred toward the disciples of Christ is always the same; and if any calamity should come -upon them, they would be ready to imitate the horrible massacres of Damascus and. Mount Lebanon. In the other provinces of Pale,stine, the Mussulmans are more numerous. There are, however,Christians and Jews at Naz areth,Bethleiem, in the remote mountains, etc. There are thirty Samaritan families living at Nablous, the ancient capital of Samaria. They persist in believing that Mount Gerizim is the most acceptable spot' to the Lord for sacrifices. Their priest, or spiritual leader, is' a well=meaning man, who has consented to read the Bible through attentively; but his, hereditary prejudices have as yet prevented him from accepting the Gospel. ender for 18 4D.

B AND IN PHILADELPHIA: PAST -GRADUATE CLASS FOR LADIES. The Rev. Dr. ALDEN, late President of Jefferson College, proposes to give a course of Instruction to a Class of Young Ladies who have finished their School Education. Ile will meet the Class one hour a day, four days in the week, from the first of November to the first of May. No text-books v.;ii be used; but, in connexion with the discussion of topics, references will be made to the best authors , for the benefit of those members of the class who have leisure for reading. The course will be conducted in such a manner, that those who can command one hour daily, can secure all its advan tages. Dr. A. will endeavor, by questionings and oral die- Ctl3Biollo, to lead his pupils to perceive truth for, themselves. An experience of more than a quarter of a century spent in teaching, has convinced bim that he can best benefit his pu pils by placing them face to face with truth, without the agency of books. Words cannot, then, be easily mistaken for things. Special attention will be given to the expression of thought by word and pen. It is presumed that the members of the proposed class have acquired, from the study of books, such a degree of mental discipline and such a knowledge of facts as will ren der them prepared for the higher gnide of instruction suited to the meet advanced class in college, The following subjects will receive attention:. I. .Inyszasertres PIIILOSOPHT. 2. MORAL Parbosorar. 3. nuNan= OF RHETORIC Alm Camotex AND ENGLISH Lrriassions. 4. POLITICAL PHELOEOPRY, including PRINCIPLES OP GOVERNMENT, PRINCIPLES OP LEGISLATION, GONSTITITTION Or THE lINITND STATES, POLITICAL. ECONOMY, INTERNATIONAL LAW. 6. NATURAL THEOLOGY. • 6. - EVIDENCES or CIGLIBTIANITY. On three topics, the pupils will be led, tie 'far as may be, to perceive truth for themselves. At the close of each exercise, will remain to criti cise an essay prepared by a member. of the clam. lie will also be ready, at all time to give advice as to reading and other department's of mental effort.

The above plan and- course eminently deserve and meet my approbation, as -extremely, calculated to propane the young lollies; to whomit infers, larthe highest tuiefulness and the most rational happiness oflife.

Dr. Alden is about to un dertaken the instruction in this city, of a claws of young la-. dies in certain branches belonging to the most advanced stage of education, and involving principles by which 4nes dons relating to the most important interests of society are decided. I have a very high' opinion of Dr. Alden, both as a man and as an instructor. The extent and , eutetness of his attaimnents, his clearness and facility of isimmimication, and his kindly-manners, are' qualificatioirs .Of a high order ; but he adds to these one of inestimable value: that of taking a profound interest in the fairer inatruction, and placing hisambitioninthe aktiful and successful inculcation of knowl alga: The opportunity of being taught by.such. a man—so well endowed, so experienced, and so distinguished in his vocation—is not often. presented to yormg.brdies anywhere, andl cannot doubt that many will make baste to take ad vantage of it It will be a favorable symptoin of the state of intelligence and the love of useful knowledge in this COMMII uity, if this clasi should be immediately filled up. • ' VW: O.
