All these are good specimens of Art; the Scene
on the Hudson peases us best; though '.Ieph-
tbah's Daughter vividly delmeates the meeting
Of the doomed maiden and her stern though low
ing sire. Sabbath Day Point is unequal in its
execution the sky and cliffs admirable, but the
water and figures in the foreground indistinct and
unimpressive. Good Resolution happily Illus
,yatcs Temperance Sketch by Miss Edgarton.
We have as yet found time to read but half the
articles, and these evince depth of thought and
feeling rarely exhibited in Annuals. We have
been deeply interested in The Happy Thought,
by Henry Bacon; Emma by MissL. NJ. Bark
er; Copernicus, by E. H. Chapin; Joan of
Arcin Prison. (poem) by Mrs. IL. B. Case, and
'Jephthah's Daughter, ditto by Miss S. c. Ed
CARTON THE Old School-Room,' by j. G.
Adams is an instructive and pleasing reminis-
cence. A. c. Thomas contributes few lines
where the readers would have chosen as many
pages from his pen Mrs. c. M. Sawyer has
GOOD story from the German, and there are some
twenty more Tales, Poems and Sketches, which
we may speak of when we have read them. As
The work is hardly yet ready for the Trade, we
fOrbear quotation for the present.
FAMILY WoRsHr containing Reflections and Prayers for
Domestic Devotion: By OrIs a. SKINNER. Opp ITO
lSmo) Boston: A. Tompkins and B. B. Mussey
This little volume is the production Of an emil
nent clergyman of the Universalst faith, and we
thence infer, without finding any thing in it that
any Christian would object to, that it is more spe
cally calculated for the use of Universalsts. The
author acknowledges his obligations however, to
the kindred works of Jay, Wyatt Brooks, Fur
ness the Book of Common Prayer, and other
standard works of Churches differing from his
own. The fact that this compilation, first pub
lished in MAY last, has already reached its third
edition, bespeaks decided merit and generous
appreciation.

tise on productive Farming.
