tiiui work possesses many and very strong claims
for popular favor, and we do not doubt that it

ono of the most elegantly embcshed and exc
cuted works we have ever soen issued from the
American press containing n large number Of
mighty hnsued engravihgs, Illustrative Of the
ceremonies, superstitions, prosecutions and in
cidents of Romanism, which Often tell most
eloquent tale, and are of real utility well as
highly ornamental. The work itself is Charac-
tcTIZeu Dy great research, ana q comprehensive
and scriptural view Of the nature and history Of
the PoPish system. 1t presents n succinct, but
sufficiently full history Of thD rise, progress, err
rors, cruetios, and present condition OF the Pa
pacy, authenticated by reference to the most
undoubted historic sources, related in 4 spirited
engaging and impressive style, and arranged in
the most lucid manner. 1t abounds in facts and
incidents, and, with lie beautiful illustrations 10
better adapted to furnish vivid and impressive
portraiture of Romanism as it is, than any other

our theological literature; and now that con-
fiict with Rome is forced upon US, and is soon

THE WIDOWS BEAU.
BY MISS oAnoLIsE souLE.


Services had commenced in the neat
little sanctuary which the inhabitants Of
Fairmount had consecrated to the servi-
ce of God. The minister had reached
the psalms and scripture lesson and the
6rst lines of the opening hymn. The
eyes of the people were fixed intently
upon him, for he was not only good, ,
sound, eloquent preacher, but he was a
fne looking one, too, and thus enchain-
ed not only the attention of the true but
the false worshipers The house was
very still; the clear melodious tones of
the speaker were the only sounds that
throbbed on the balmy golden air, which
the midsummer's, Sabbath morn had
breathed into that holy place.
The first syllable of the second line
was trembling on his lips, when a rustic
at the door and the entrance of two per-
sons, lady and gentleman, dissolved
the charm. In second every one turn
ed from the pulpit to the broad aisle,
and watched with more than ordinary
eagerness the progress of the couple. A
most searching ordeal were they sub
jected to, aud when fairly and quietly

tor Of widespread and wonderful re-

restless crowd began to disperss, when
an event happened, to excite afreshI
their curiosity and concentrate them
again denser than ever. A messenger
rushed TO the pulpit in hot haste, and
presented note, which was Immediate
