most laborers and mechanics, in the

CANTON. At this port the American
Seamen's Friend Society commenced their
operations for the benefit of mariners in
foreign ports, through the labors of the
Rev. Mr.. Abeel, in the summer of the
year 1929, continuing those operations
without intermission, by the very accepta-
bic ministry of the Rev. Mr. Stevens, I'M
til his death, in January 1887. After this,
the American missionaries at Canton,
preached occasionally at the ship anchor-
age. and before stated chaplain could be
found and sent out, the commercial diff.
culties between the English and the ma
tive Chinese, took place, the result of
which is a suspension Of friendly inter-

r He BOOK OF JAsHER.


We shall shortly have literary, or
rather Biblical curiosity, to present to
the American reader, which we feel con-
6dent in predicting will excite great inter-
est among those who take pleasure in
reading and studying the Scriptures. 1t
is the Book of Jasher, referred to in the
Bible in Joshua, and in the second book
Of Samuel, and which has been in the
progress of translation from the Hebrew
for several years in England, and is now
completed, and will be published in few
days in this city, in very elegant stereo-
typed edition. There have been several
simulated Books of Jasher, a notice of
which we find in the Rev Mr.. Homes
Commentaries on the Study of the Scrip
lures; but they bear no analogy to the
present work, which is written in the
purest Hebrew, and translated with an
elegance ant. fidelity highly credtable 10
the eminent scholar who has been so long
engaged in the work. The preface 10
the Hebrew edition speaks of it as having
been brought from Jerusalem with other
sacred rolls and manuscripts, at the de-
struction of that city, and carried into
Spain, where the Jews had their most
celebrated colleges up to the eleventh
century. On the discovery of printing,
the manuscript was copied, and carried to
Venice. where it was printed BY order of
the Jewish Consistory of Rabbins in 1913,
and is now for the first time translated
INTO the English language and Published,
The Royal Asiatic Society had a. copy in
calcutta, and gave orders to the Rev. Mr..
Adams to translate it; but it was aban-
doned on hearing that translation was
already IN progress. 1t is full of inter-
est, and written with a warmth of piety
and sacred devotion worthy of taking an
equal rank with any Of the missing books
not strictly canonical. Il does not differ
with the Bible in single instance, but

made it appeared that more minds, and
minds of higher order, have been bro't
into contact with the cause, in the past,
than IN any previous year; the great sub
ject being change of the laws of the
several States. In Tennessee and Mis-
sssippi, the laws enacted at a previous
year, against tippling-houses and dram
shops, have been sustained: in Massachu-
sets, reversed. In States where the IL
cense question has been submitted to the
people, the action has been favorable
Almost every legislature has been memo

nearly every committee report, all the
principles of the memorials have been

political evils has prevented present
