A LAMP TO THE PATH; or, the Bible in

By Rev. w. X. Tweed,e, ID. ID. BoS-
ton: Gould g. Lincoln. 1855.
The object of the author is to show the
necessity of making the truth as it is in
Jesus our guide, in every sphere, and in erss
cry action. Its leading maxim is, "Wha'-
soever ye do in the word or deed, do oil IN
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
to God and the Father by him." That is
the grand medicaling influence for all our
moral ills and with any lower principle
for his guide, man will never be thorough
ly or perma emily raised from moral degra-
dation. Whatever is to benefit man rs a
fallen immortal, must derive its vitalzing
power from Him who is the truth; and
apart from Him all will be found as worth
less as a tinkling cymbal. This and the
work above noticed will be useful for holi-
day gifts, especially to the young.

MESsRS. GALES q OEATON.-lne wash
ington cores ondent of the n. Y. Journal
of Commerce, thus speaks Of Messrs. Gales
g. Seaton, who have been for many years
widely known and respected, as the editors
and proprietors of that sterling Wing news
paper, the National Inleligencer:
"In the sanctum Of that Office may ever
be seen The patient and interchangeable Sea-
ton, preparing matter for its columns, while
his exp rience and ingenuity, like your
own, is often sorely tried to find room and
the right sort Of room !or the articles and
the selections that press Upon him. Ele-
CANT compositions must often b, hopplcssly
deferred, and perhaps writers be disappoinl-
ed-lhough frequently not more SO than
the editor himself. Col. Seaton is man
of singular urban;y OF manners, and well
fitted to gain that popular favor which has
more than once been expressed by his elcc-
ton TO the office Of Mayor OF the city. His
Associate, Joseph Gales, if OF English L.uh,
is American all over. The X. Ms must
not meddle with him. 1t would be to their
own injury. This venerable man, who has
instructed two generations OF select r, aders,
may occasionally be seen in his upper room
at the Office, where he kindly receives his
friends, and where the poor are sure to find
him, and ask their accustomed aims. Eighty
years have imposed lhoir weight OH his ro-
bust form, and spread venerablencss over
his features, but have neither dimmed the
lustre of his dark bright eye, nor impaired
the energy of his well balanced Intellect
AS it was with his father, the friend and
patron of the poet Montgomery, SO it is
with him, Death is not Jealous of his mild
decay If patronage aud power are less
familiar with him than in other years, gcni-
us, talent, dignity-in fine, the impersha =
BILE properties oil true statesman, adorn the
decline OF life. The evening of his days,
if less brilliant than their meridian, becomes
TO him the nurse Of calm, deep and lumir-
Gus thought, always auguring in good
things for the Republic. A POLITICIAN vitr'
out seeking office, and statesman without
holding it, he has taught the former to con
tend without acrimony the latter to rule
without violence. A leading editorial from
his pen has ever been model OF its kind
as much as a piece of sculpture wrought
out i'm the studio OF first rate artist. Since
the departure OF the Revolutionary Presi-
dents, there has been no little violence at
different times flashing from the Washing
ton press. Trucuient articles have created
strong sensation. Poisoned arrows have
been levelled with a kind OF conyulsive
visor at political adversaries, but one OF
them have been spent from the shaft OF
Joseph Gales. One of the testimonies OF
his fellow citizens was his election, too to
the Mayoralty of the city, with whose cx-
istence his own is almost cocval."

GLAD TlplYGs or, the Gospel Of Peace
A series of daily Mediwtons for Chris
tian disciples. BY Rev. w. X. Tweede,
d. d., Free Talbooth Church Edinburgh.
Boston: Gould g. Lincoln. 1854.
This volume is designed to foster godli-
ness as taught to an individual soul by the
Holy Spirit, according TO the Inspired Book
The Inspired Word is at once the standard
and the substance of all that is true in re-
gard to salvation; and for that reason, tie
conscience, the heart, and the soul, are here
kept in close contact with the truth which
the Holy Spirit inspired. Nothing sys-
tematic, as an exhibition of truth, has here
been attempted, though the three sections
of the volume bear reference to the three
stages in which personal religion may be
studied; or, first, as presented "Good II
dings"; second, as attracting the soul bv
its "Wonders"; third, as realized, when
man is under the gracious guardianship OF
the "Shaphard Of Israel.
The work is finely written and will be Il
treasure to Christians.
