itself; the one, zealous and constant in all acceptable kindnesses, in her secluded sphere, which God has given her an intuitive sagacity to invent, the other delighting to communicate all means of improvement, which his different opportunities of education have prepared him to offer; the one, gratefully conscious of a protection as watchful as it will be prompt and firm, the other of an interested love, which, whether in silence or in words, can speak his praises, the most movingly, where he may most desire to have them spoken. Is any thing in the relations appointed by him, who, for wise and kind ends, hath set the solitary in families,' more delightful to witness, than such a brotherly and sisterly devotion? If there be, it is what remains to be added to the picture. It is seen, when they who are thus united, make the younger members of their band a common care, and turn back to offer the gentle and encouraging hand of a love more discreet than that of mere equals, and more familiar than the parental, to lead their childish unpractised steps along that path of filial piety, of fraternal union and religious wisdom, which themselves, walking together in it, have found, throughout, a way of such pleasantness and peace. Yes; earth has no fairer sight, than a company, so marshalled, of young travellers to heaven." pp. 333-335.

On the whole, few volumes of sermons, will be found, we believe, more useful than this, whether we consider the nature of the subjects treated, or the fullness, variety, and importance of the thoughts exhibited. We must regret, that they are not generally characterized by more simplicity of style, because in all other respects they are eminently adapted to do good to all classes of readers. They may instruct those who have yet to learn, and establish those who already believe, that religion is to be exhibited in the most common walks and offices of life; that they, who aspire to be Christians and sons of God, must be good husbands and fathers, good wives and children, good masters and servants; and try to make themselves and their families the better and the happier, by "showing piety at home."

A volume of Discourses, by the late Rev. E. S. GOODWIN, of Sandwich, with a Memoir of their Author, by the Rev. Mr. GOODWIN, of Concord, is announced. We also understand, that the Rev. Professor WARE, Junior, is preparing for the press a volume of Sermons, by the late Dr. PARKER, of Portsmouth, to which a Memoir, by the editor, will be prefixed.

The Christian Connexion have united in supporting a single religious newspaper, The Gospel Palladium, published at Broadalbin, N. Y., under the direction of the Christian Union Book Association, and edited by the Rev. Joseph Badger.

The first volume of a translation of Tholuck's Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, has appeared in the Biblical Cabinet, published in Edinburgh. The publisher gives notice of other translations as in progress, to wit:

Messrs. Manson, Emerson, & Co., of Cambridge, advertise as in press a new edition of the Common English Bible, comprising the Old and New Testament, and the Apocrypha, to be printed under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Coit, of the Episcopal Church. In this edition, the division into chapters and verses is rejected, and one into paragraphs, according to the sense, is substituted, and the poetic portions are printed in parallelisms, after the manner of Lowth's "Isaiah." In other respects, they propose to follow the best and most carefully collated editions, Dr. Blayney's folio of 1769 being taken as the standard. All headings of chapters and column titles are discarded in the new arrangement, but the numerals for the chapters and verses will be set in the margin, so that, for reference, this will be as convenient as any other edition.

Professor Torrey, of the University of Vermont, is preparing a new translation of Neander's History of the Christian Church, the first volume of which work, translated in England by H. J. Rose, was noticed about two years ago, in this journal. The second volume of Rose's Translation has not, we believe, been published.
