For sale by Henry Miner, Pittsburgh. Here. are three hundred and sixty-five brief discourses, connected with as many texts of Scripture. The selections are made from the very best of Christian Divines; writers whose works have etood the test of years ; such as Chrysostom, Augustine, Taylor, Baxter, Howe, navel, Leighton, and others. A great deal of the reading, even the religious reading, of the present day, is light. Greatly more of deep thought, of heavenly wisdom, of the pious soul's communing with God, should be the Christian's desire and aliment. We fear that a book such as the one before us, will not be sought for extensively ; but we know that it is greatly needed. It would be well for even ad vanced Christisips to take such a “Daily walk with wise men" as that to which they are here invited,; and for the young it would abound in benefits.

The book before us•is evidently the production of one well acquainted with the French language and literature, and is admirably• adapted to an swer the purpose for which it has been prepared. It may be used to advantage by private students as well as by those who are favored with compe tent instruction. The figured pronunciation ac companying the words in the vocabulary will be of great assistance in enabling the English stu dent to approximate quite closely to the French sounds,: we say approximate, for we are confident that scarcely one Englishman in a thousand can be truly said to do more than this. While we regard Professor Knapp's book as weli.calculated to faailitate the acquisition of a knowledge of the t'rench lairguage, and while we .are pleased with inost of the selectiens givens we must a 1 the same time say that the compiler has net; in our 'opinion, entirely succeeded in his professed effort "to ecluda all expressions or allusions limcompatible with the' lecture-room and with good taste and propriety." In Part Second . especially, we notice expressions which, if they are not objectionable on the score of re nned literary taste, are at least 'grating to the sensibilities. f the religious mind, and unques tionably injurious in their tendencies.

Far up the side of the mountain the na ked rock shot up still higher. It seemed very high as you looked upward. The rock was even on its face, and was full perpen dicular. On its surface were four kinds of lichen growing—from that whose leaf was very small, to the last, which was quite coarse and large. We sometimes see such lichen on an old fence, an old tree, or an old house. The face of the huge rook was almost covered with it. As I sat down under the shadow of the mountain, waiting for my friend, I gazed at the lichen, and began to wonder, in my own mind, what it was created for, and pf what use it could be, when I seemed to hear a small, crispy voice, far up the rock, calling out lother, how old am I 7" " Why, my child, you have but just be gun to live. You are only eighty years old yet !" " And how old are you ?" " I call myself young, for I am only five hundred and twenty years old." I now listened with all my ears, for I knew it was the lichen talking among them selves. I felt sure they would say more, and I took out my pencil to put down what they would . say. Pretty soon I heard tip same little voice say '• Mother, ain't you discouraged ?" " Discouraged ! at what, pray ?" "At your size ! Five hundred and twen ty years old, and how very small you are !" "Not so small, either I I cover six inches square already, while there's my poor grandmother, almost eleven hundred years old, and she covers only five inches, even now ! Very few, lam happy to say, of the lichen family, who have worked harder or accomplish more than I have, though I do say it myself." " Well, mother, of what use is it to cling to this great rock, and hang here Summer and Winter, amid storms, and cold, and winds beating upon us? Here I have clung and been trying to gnaw into this rock for eighty years, and have not yet got my roots in half an inch. What's the use ? We might as well die and drop off. No body would miss us‘ or care. What do we live for ?" " To raise wheat." "Raise what ?" " Raise wheat, to be sure." • "Pray, mother, what do you mean? We lichen, away up here, on this cold rock, raise wheat ! If that ain't funny !" " Listen, my child. This huge moun tain is all solid rock. If it was all pound ed up fine. it would make soil on which men would raise wheat. But it. is now very hard,, and there is nothing to pound it and turn it into' powder. And so God has created us, the lichen, to have our home here, to cling to it, to gnaw it, and with a kind of acid we have; to crumble and dis solve it. Don't you remember that the very last year, you rolled down two little grains of the rock? Well, every grain we make falls down, then the rains wash it into the little brook, and the brook - carries it into the river, and the river raises it up, and as it overflows its bank, drops it just where the old soil is worn out and the wheat needs new. The Nile ~ .thus carries down little particles from the mountains, and makes Egypt so fruitfitl. " Oh I mother, how often can I gnaw off rock enough to raise a kernel of wheat ?" " Perhaps once in thirty years." "Oh ! what a slow work I When will what you dig out this year raise, wheat ?" " Perhaps five hundred years hence. God sees that there will be old men and little children upon earth then, and they will want bread, and so he has created us and placed us here to prepare soil, and get this rook ready to raise wheat. Thus he goes before, and provides, and makes even, the poor little lichen useful; and if we do our duty, his smile will -cheer us ' and though we can do but little, a very little, yet that little will do good to somebody." The lichen stopped talking, but I did not stop thinking. What would my young reader have tliought had he been there ? Sunday School Times. Hints to lothers—Home, Sweet nom While a mother needs to guard her chil dren carefully from the many temptations to vanity which will beset them from the very cradle, she cannot be too choice and scrupulous in having their surroundings those which will refine and cultivate the taste and feelings. Everything which will do violence to good taste and refinement,, and promote coarseness and carelessness of manners should be most carefully avoided,, even in their most secluded hours. Yet there are, homes whose parlors , are • highly adorned, where the private apartments are all in confusion, and, where convenience and tasteful arrangement are the last things thought of. Children take in, with the-at mosphere of such a home, the principle which governs it, and it will run through all their after life. "No matter what we are so that we show off well." Hypocrisy is As foundation,.and it pervades-all,depart merits of the character. It costs little to make a hoind tasteftil and ,cheerful, if only the heart is in Abundant pictures on the nursery walls, be they ever so simple, if they 'only tell. some sweet story; a pot of flowers in the window; a hanging basket or two, even it made of a .cocoanut shell, with graceful vines winding around the , strings that-sus pend it; a few pretty shrubs in the yard, though the space be ever so Beauty; a rose bush or two by the doOrway, and, if possi. ble, trees about your dwelling ; all these are refining agencies, which exert a pow erful influence on the hearts of your chil dren. Let them help you in a little taste ful works, some rainy day when you can spare the time. Teach them to make a little frame of shell-work, or even acorn caps, pine cones,,parti-eolored corn, and the like, and see if a little picture set in it will not" afford them greater enloyment their the most costly, gilded work of art you could buy '"them. . Go out, into the wild woods with them, and help to gather pret ty mosses and old gray lichees for a moss! basket or home-conservatory. All these simple arts which make home beautiful; are well worth • cultivation ;' —a thousand times more valuable than the most elabor ately embroidered skirts and braided man tles. Here, as in every thing else, " wis dom is profitable to direct.' =I do not doubt but that excellent woman Solon:ion: describes, had a beautiful,. tasteful home for those children who " arose up and called her blessed," and the husband who praised her.—/V. Y. Chronicle. Written -Names. " Alice, Nettie, come to the head of the' stairs, won't you ?" called Arthur Lee, as' boys sometimes do call when in a hurry. - `"What do you want?" exclaimed Alice, PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---WEDNESDA.Y, OCTOBER 21, 1863. dropping her doll at the loud summons, and running into the hall " Father will be around with the carriage in a few minutes to take us all to Coney Island, and he says you must make haste, for it is late." " Oh, isn't that splendid ! We'll be ready in half a minute. Let's take our dolls, Nettie, in their new travelling dresses." "You surely do n't mean to take them," called up Arthur. "If there is anything I do dislike, it's riding in a carriage with dolls. Girls make such geeseof themselves talking to them, and some of their traps almost always fall out. The idea of taking pieces of china out riding!" and Arthur walked off wondering how his sisters could be so silly. The little girls, accustomed to Arthur's speeches, hurried on the dolls' dresses, then ran down stairs to wait for the car riage. And after they had started, the horses went so swiftly, and there was so much to be seen, that Coney Island was reached long before they were tired. Still, though not. tired, the children were very willing to leave the carriage, and run down the long wooden walk to the beech, talking of what fun they would have, chasing the waves, and not caring at all when Arthur palled them great babies for proposing to make sand pies with shells for ,plums. At last the 'plank walk was ended, and even their ,father could ,not help laughing when Arthur slipped'off a stone just as a huge wave came up covering him with spray;' and little Nettie ran away so fast that both hat and doll dropped upon an immense sand pie, and her curls were wet with foam. " Suppose we write names with our sun umbrellas," proposed Alice; 'and soon Nettie Lee, Alice Lee, were printed in the sand. " Conic, Arthur, write yours under ours," called Nettie. " I'm not quite such a goose as to waste my time doing that; just wait till that wave comes in," replied their wise brother; and sure enough ,the sea came rushing along sweeping , away all traces of the names. gg Here.'s where I have written mine," and deep in the stone from which he had slipped, the little girls saw Arthur's name. " I should think that would last forever," said Alice. " No, I do n't believe it could, the waves will wear" it away; but not long ago rout my name - on the top of a "mountain, and I do n't believe' that will ever be worn away!' "'People are very fond of writing their names in the world," remarked their father. " I know that," said Alice. " Don't you remember all the names we found on the mountain this Surnmer, and how surprised we all were to see cousin Frank's on the tip-top ?" " Yes, quite well, dear ; but I was think of the many who are willing to toil hard all their lives, considering themselves well re paid- if their names remain long in •the world. Some write them in great con quests, others ~ in grand poems—some on fine paintings, others on wonderful music; but these names will not endure forever, should they last as long as the world does, if they be not also written in a hook. this world does not own. Few can leave great names upon earth, even after years of striving; but names of little children are found on the leaves of this book." "I know it is kept in heaven. Is it not the Lamb's book of life ?." said Ar thur, " and are . not the names of those wholove Jesus, the ones that are written there?" " Yes, my son, and none 13 ha II enter into the holy city but they which are written in the Lamb's book: of life. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue--" " But in deed and in truth," whispered Nettie as she .laid one little hand within her father's. Arthur and Alice, side by side, were looking out on the sea. They heard Net tie's low answer, and resolved to show forth tliteir love for the Saviour by trying more earnestly than ever, to keep his command ments. If you will love Jesus, dear, little read ers, striving with his aid to do his will, your names shall ..be written in " the Lamb's book of , life." Then when the ocean of eternity , shall roll over the sands of time,,sweeping away all traces of many names the world calls great, your names will be read in' heaven, as you enter "the holy 'city" to be happy' forever more.-- Christian Times. isrdiantons. Jules Geraid, the famous lion-tamer, has found his match in that sacrificer of burden, the bloody King of DahoMey.: Gerard, well known to fame, has .written -tile Duke of Wellington an account of his visit to that sanguinary autocrat - of the Af iican slave regions. - The King of Daho mey, despite , his nauxe Which' signifies "Eternal," or the- Infinite, IS more of a• beast than a kilig ) . Gerard' -ssitv this" bloody despot excites the , peoPle with san-- guinary spectacles, so as'to 'be able tooarry 'off the neighboring 'population when a slave-dealert makes- an offer' to- the: King. On the day of Gerard's presentation he was conducted to, the market-place where twelve corpses were, exposed to view on separate " Six were hung up by the feet, the six others, were upright like, men about to walk. Those whom I saw °lobe - were, horribly mu tilated and not beheaded. An enormous pool of blood covered the ground beneath the aciffold giving unmistakable evidence of previous sacrifices, and of the tortures which accompanied, them,. Our reception by ‘ the King was brilliant, very cordial for myself as well as for the French Consul:l but we were aeon able to convince our selves that this was, but - a comedy allays performed by his poor Paladiau to get the presents brought by the, whites. Born and brought up iii•the midst of these spectacles, which would" be - ridiculous if they were not horrible; the present King is actually more fond =of them than , his subjects. I sew him on that-day admiring with the delight of a 'child the grotesque dances and ridictb: ions pantomime of his*Ministersc: and then - of the Princes; and then of all present' for our Amusementc., A most infernal music, which nearly deafened as, delighted the King, who seemed to be in a state of' ec stacy; and this, R. le pile. lasted, for six hours. 'Oil' the follOving ,day his. lilajesty invited tia 'to witness 'a procession' of the King's riches. On reaching the square of `the palace, (feed huta,) an ‘l"grceable our 'prise'had been prepared for us. The en-' trance` gate was ficioded bjr'a pool of 'blood two yards' in width, and on each side a col min ofieeently decapitated heida forming, -two= immense ohaplets. HI& true that'on :.this day the -King wore the' emblem'of BIM The King of Dahomey. =iE Christ on his breast. It must be presumed that it was the cross of execution that he meant to imply by this ornament. As re gards the procession of his wealth, it con sisted of a few old carriages, bath chairs carried by then with figures like Polichinel lo. One thonsand women carried each a bottle of liquor on her head, a brass basin in the shape of a footbath to receive the blood of the human victims on the day of the King's banquet; an image of the Vir iin; various baskets full of human skulls; an image of St. , Lawrence, as large as life, carried by blacks finallythe drum of death. " At another festival the King command ed on foot his Amazons, who manoeuvred with the precision of a flock of sheep. On the market=place already mentioned, each step was ornamented by a dead body; and `the King came and, went in the midst of pools of blood and fragments of human flesh in a state of putrefaction. On this occasion he daubed his face with coal. The ceremony terminated by a mad dance, in which the king took part, dancing vii-a-vis to drunken soldiers and musicians. Such are; k. le Due, the man, the Government and the people whom we have hitherto hoped to turn into a path less contrary to the laws of humanity." i'lation of Pigmies. In the Bay of Bengal, on the very high read of commerce, is - a group of islands thickly covered with --impenetrable jungle, and swarming with leeches• in the rainy, and ticks in the dry season. Except a species of pig, until recently to science, there are no wild animals that offer any molestation to man; but to make up for this deficiency, the lumen inhabitants are amongst the most savage and hostile that voyagers have ever encountered. They may truly be termed a nation of pigmies, being on an average only four feet, five inches high, and weighing from seventy to seventy-five pounds; but, they are well proportioned, and display an agility and. nimbleness truly wonderful. Their skin is dark, though not black as that of the negro, and their faces decidely ugly. They go entirely naked, shave 'the hair off their heads with pieces of bamboo or broken bottle, and further increase their unsightly. appearance , by daubing themselves.all over, with a mixture of red ochre and oil ; or covering their persons toward nightfall with a thick coating of soft mud, to serve as a protection against mosquitoes, with which, in addition to the leeches and ticks, they seem to be tormented the whole year . round. They are excellent swimmers, taking to the water almost before they can walk; and. they rely upon the sea for the principalsip ply of their food—turtles, oysters, and fish. Agricultural. Marketing Fruit. The first thine , '' to be attended to in mar keting fruit, is the picking. Hand pick ing and careful handling—as careful as if the fruit were eggs—is absolutely necessary if we would get good fruit to market in good order. If the trees have been prop erly trained with low branches, most of the fruit may be reached by some kind of a self-supporting ladder, and there are several fruit-pickers which may be advantageously used to reach those otherwise inaccessible. If the fruit is to be disposed of at the nearest market town, it will pay to use Care in picking, but if it is to be consigned to a distant city, it is absolutely-necessary to do so. During the first week or two after it is taken from the tree, fruit loses a consid erable amount of moisture, or " sweats," as it is termed, and- it is necessary that this process should be through with before packing. The. " sweating " may be done upon a harn,floor, or the fruit may be put in heaps in the orchard. and covered with straw if there be danger of frost. Fruit should be kept at an even:temperature, and cool as possible without freezing. From the tirne i that fruit is mature it constantly tends to decay, and that state in which we say the fruit is "in eating" is one step toward decay. The process can be made to go on slowly, Cr ,be retarded almost indefi nitely, by keeping the fruit at a sufficiently low temperature. After the fruit has gone thrOugh the sweating process, it should be barrelled. It is better to' make two grades of quality, separating the finest from those less large and fair. A few poOrAooking apples will injure * the sale of - a barrel of otherwise first-class frith. Never mix sorts, even if they closely resemble each Other, and mark each barrel with the name of the - fruit. =lt is of the greatest importance that the packing should . be% so done that the .fruit will not shake about and-bruise.ens another in,carriage. They use of •packing material is now .generally abandon* at least for,apples, but the fruit is pressed into the barrel so strongly, that shaking , is' pre vented.—American Agriculturist. Ventilation of Stables, While many farmers ventilate too large ly; ethers do not Ventilate enough, and some 'not it all: -"A moments retleetion will een vince andost any one - of the great import ance of furnishing • animala with a good supply of pure air. When ,We ,go into a stable, and the ammonia arising from' the manure, makes our eyes smart, or if the air appears ,at all impure, we may rest assured that there is a deficiency of 'pure air, and the health of animals. will be seriously affected if ventilation. is not more perfect. Impure, air.in stables always lima to the upper side, of them. Therefore, if, there be an, opening overhead, the foul air will escape, and. pure-air. -will take its place; whereas, if -there are nothing' btit small cracks, or other ' apertures _ in the sides of the building, the, air will become very foul in a short time: Let tbe cracks ,be well battened, and let the doors be fitted tight, and then cat a holefrom three to four feet 'square in :the floor Overhead ; and if the building is not 1i- spacious one, there acould be a- ientilator. -at the top of the roof. Stable,s'should have' windows, also, •in the sides, or •behind the • horses, for admitting the light,- which may be. thrown open when the weather is.;nbt•ifreezing cold. When the manger or raoJr.is formed against the outside of the stable,-it is ti, good arrange ment ,to have a small dark window before each horse, .which,will slide open and shut easily, so that each horse. may thrust' his nese, out when, desires, and inhale,the .„ . great caution should . be exercised .in, ventilating litables, that the animals be;npt exposed to a current, of cold air. ,Currents, of cold air should never be allowed to wa t er a stable through laTge cracks in :the . floor,; as horses will,most assuredly contract, cold when thus exposed.. When the We4her, is fiet - freezing cold, windows should be.epened and sometimes the 'ao . ors also. The great Mortality Cocurriug ,amongst the , horses of `the FieUchcivalry hat been 'diininislied by more than one-half by. increasing" the amount of air supplied tq f the stables,.-no otter change in the management having occurred. At the end of the Italian war, 10,000 cavalry were left with no stabling but mere temporary sheds ; but the mortal ity was quite insignificimt, and not a single case of glanders occurred. The French Government are now trying some experi ments with respect to the results of the exposure of horses to even currents of air, some of the results having proved of a most favorable kind. As might be expected, the effects of the improved ventilation of sta bles, have been still more fully exhibited with respect to sick and wounded horses. Reducing the Stock. The short crop of hay, together with the bad condition in which much of it has been secured, will in many instances oblige far mers to reduee their stock to correspond with their keeping. Now we have a word for the ear of all such. Do n't sell your best heifers, nor your best ewes, simply be cause they are fat and handsome, and will bring a . few dollars more than the less like ly ones. Do let do it if you wish to im prove your breeds. The doing of it is one of the most sure ways to ruin your flocks and your herds. , Select the best to keep. Then you will have better cows and larger fleeces. The mere pittance of a •few dol lars should not, be allowed to induce a man to part with his best animals. It is poor economy and never should be practiced by farmers'having any desire for progression. We well remember the practice of twenty five years ago, of letting , the drover go into the flock and select just such lambs as suited him best, and we quite as well re member the effect.. After a trial of a few years, the sheep business was given up as unprofitable. The flocks seemed to kind of " run out," as their owners said, though for the life of them, they could not tell why. The ease was just as plain as the nose on their faces, ` but they " could n't see it." They had allowed the drover, from year to year, to take,the flower of their flocks, and they had, been.breeding from little stunted runts of things that ought to have had their hides taken off as soon as , they saw day light. As "like begets like," the increase of these flocks were 'the meanest specimens of the mutton tribe, and their pro . geny were meaner than they . I Is there any wonder that their _ flocks ." run out ?" These men were breeding the wrong way. They were breeding down, and the result was precisely as we have stated—natural and inevitable.
