The course Of studies in Pennsylvania College
is as extensive and substantial as that Of any in
stitution in the. country. The Preparatory De-
partment provides for instruction in all the branches
of a thorough English business education, in addi-
ton to the Elements Of the Mathematics and Clas-
sical Literature. The College course is arranged
in the four classes usual in the institutions of this
country.
The government of the students is as energetic
as their circumstances seem to require. They at
tend at least two rectations day, and the Faculty
contemplate increasing them to three, Church and
Bible Glass on the Sabbath, and are visited in
their rooms frequently as to preclude the dam
ger Of any great irregularities. II is believed no
institution in the United States has more exem-
plary young men in connexion with it. They are
all required to lodge in the College edice special
cases excepted.
The annual expenses are-for board, tuition and
rent, during the winter session S6l 81 12 for
the summer session, S4l 81 l2; washing, SlO wood,
S3 90. Total expense, $ll6 IS. Boarding can be
had in town at 81 IS per week
There are two vacations in the year, commenc-
ing on the third Thursdays of April and Septem-
ber; each of five weeks continuance.
The summer session will commence on Thurs
day, the 22d Of May. The annual commencement
takes place on the third Thursday in September.
The Trustees have recently made various ar
rangements which will increase the efficiency of
the Institution. They have increased the number
of Professors and provided for the most ample in
struction Of the students.
Professor Baugher and Haupt are prepared to
board boys and to exercise special supervision
over their studies and department, and Parents who
may perfer placing their sons under their care,
will be secure in regard to their proper manage
ment, under arrangements such as pertain to the

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
OF LAW AND EQUITY, under the direc-
ton Of Francis ]. Troubat, esq, of Philadelphia
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candless, Esq, Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions of Eng
lish law authors withoutregard to priority of claim
on the part of any American publisher. Such books
are now notoriously too dear. The reason is, that
as fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition of
notes of American decisions, the latter claim an un-
divided title to those works. and set burdensome
price on them The publishers of the work now
offered to the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such titles but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions ofthe works
OF such writers as Starkie, the Chittys, Stephen,
and Archibold appear, they shall also be included;
and digests of equity and law decisons--works
which have been studiousy kept out of the Law
Library published at Philadelp lphia,--shall have a
place IN the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
I5P This work will be issued monthly in num-
bers OF l60 pages, printed fine white paper, and
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per
mum, payable half yearly.

sd The following Hymn was sung by the

Islands, on Christmas day, 1919, while
crossing the tropic of Capricorn, on their
way toward Cape Horn. II was composed

of the officers of the vessel, the brig Thad-
deus -
{" We hare seen his Star IN The East and haze come
to ioorship Him"
All hail the bright star that the East once ilumed
And blest with its radiance the shepherds and
seers,
When re igion the emblem Of mercy assumed,
And glory appeared in this valley of tears
1t arose oer the gloom that enshrouded the earth,
And announced, as it burst from the portals Of
Heaven,
That the Savior of sinners, Divine in his BIRTH,
The conqueror of death, to the world is now
given
On this day, from the regions of glory and love,
As the type of salvation, and symbol Of hope,
Gently borne through its beams, see the pure,
heavenly Dove
Appear to mankind, who in darkness now grope.
May Religions blest star, we traverse the ocean,
Illumine our way and its comforts impart,
While our fond lingering tho'ts we cast back with
emotion
To the country that holds the dear friends Of
each heart
Iahou hi At IN tha -fryip
The Mission Of peace to far distant land,
And calm the rude main with thy all-saving power;
Be love, grace, and mercy, the gifts Of thy hand.
When at length on the Isles of the Gentes they
tread,
We pray that thy Spirit may smooth their rough
ways;
By them may the Heathen to Jesus be led,
And receive with fond rapture the Gospels
hF bright rays
BY them may the priests of idolatry learn
That their Morals, and Taboos,* and offerings
/. are vain
Let the nation from idols and violence turn,
And the joy of salvation perpetual reign.
Now swell the loud anthems of praise to the Lord
From whom streams of mercy necessarily flow;
Be the Father, the Son, and the Spirit adored
By all nations and kindreds and realms here

and superstitions, or mysterious rites.

EBEN EZER.
WITH joyful hearts and grateful praise
Our Helper, God, thy name we hail;
Our Ebenezer here we raise,
While round the stormy Cape we sail
Conducted by Thy sovereign hand,
Mysterious, mighty, wise and good,
We left our friends and native land
To toss upon the raging food
When adverse winds our course delayed,
And dangerous currents rolled below,
Thy voice the roaring tempest stayed,
And made the breeze propitious blow.
From want, and pestilence, and death,
Defended by thy care,
To Thee we raise our tuneful breath,
Our Rock Of Help forbids our fear.
This way-mark in the trackless seas,
Fixed by His hand who rules above,
The tempests of six thousand years
Have ne'er been able to remove.
So shall our grateful record stand,
That hither by thine aid we come;
So shall we trust thy constant hand
Will bring our souls in safety home.
