Il TALUABLE BOOK.

AmaiyticaI Concordance of the
Holy Scriptures; or, the Bible, pre-.
sen,ed under disinc, and classical heads and
topics. Edited BY JOHN EADIE, DID,. LID,
Professor Of Biblical Literature Of the. Uni
ted Presbyterian Church, author Of :" ibli-
cal Cyclopedia,r &C., &C., &c.
Boston: Gould & Lincoln. New York /:
Sheldon, Brakeman s. Co.
This is Concordance on entirely new
plan, and in our view the only plan wh ch is
traly philosophical in itself or adapted to
the greatest practical use among those who
read aud search The Scriptures. II is the
plan Of placing side by side all that is said
in the Bible on particular subject that it
may be viewed in connection, TO assist in
the work recommended by the Apostle, Of
comparing spiritual things with spiritual;
II this idea is not original, we thought of it
for ourselves more than twenty years ago,
and gave il a prominent place in our "Prize
Essay Religious Dissenlions, their Cause
and Cure" which we gave TO the public at
that time. BY finding texts that contain
particular word, in The usual way of Con.
cordances, we gather up set Of passages
that have only wordy connection but by
following the guidance of subjects we secure
related sentiment, and truth, and can thus
easily exhaus, the whole subject-ma,ter of
Divine revelation on faith, for instance, JUS
tifica,ion, atoHement or any other topic. =,
Everything on which The Bible speaks in
the wide range and scope of its contents
from the cedars Of Lebanon to the h, ssop

yia,han TO The fly, from the first 10 the last
named person in lis record, from the infinite
God TO the creatures of a day who are crush.
ed before the moth, is not only noticed, but
all that is said Of il is placed together so
that one can view il q, a glance. Every
text Of the Bible is thus brought TO view on
this principle of reference.
The work Is arranged under forty three
general heads, beginning with agricultural
and ending with water and the author

+ The following pungent article is from the
"Knoxyille Whig." and that there is more
truth than poetry in IL, the conscience OF
many reader will affirm and rsi,erate.--
Though we do not claim all the appliances
of rascality in ourJegon here, at which the
parsqp. levels his artillery, nevertheless that
which is, notorious will be really selected,
with its comment, and be oppre cia,ed by
the reader. The Parson deals plainly:
RASCALIrY ASTOUNDING. The Gospel is
preached TO the people regularly, all over
our country ----religIous papers aud magazines
are circulated in families and many vaua-
BILE persons set good examples before the
world-but notwithstanding all this, aud
more, observation teaches us that rascali,y
abounds IN all classes of society. Petty
theits are daily committed-such as robbing
money drawers, stealing clothes, and dry
goods, chickens, ducks, corn and other ea,a-
bles. Strolling vagabonds, dealing in coun-
terfeit money, and diseased horses, are all
over the country. Gamblers, travelling and
local, and resident roguos are all on the a
len. Pious Williams, with faces Us samctifi.
ed.as the moral law, are Keeping false ac.
counts and swearing 10 them, Tor the sake Of
gam. Whiskey shops are selling by the
small, in violation OF the law....The rich are
expressing the poor, aud the poor are con.
tent TO live in rags and idleness. Country
dealers in produce come to town and exact
two prices for all they have to sell, and
owners OF real estate in town are asking
double rents to the injury of business, and
The growth OF Towns. Banks and Corpora
tons, intended for the public good, have
their lavoriles, and are partial in the distri-
button Of favor Families persecute and
envy each other. individuals SANDER their
betlers. Persons of low origin pu, on airs,
and falsely pretend to be more than they
are. Cheating and Misrepresentation are
the order of the day, generally. In politics
there is very little patriotism or real love of
country, while demagogues seek to mislead,
and build up their own fortunes at the haz-
ard OF running the country. In religion there
is more hypocrisy. than grace. and the big
gest scouEdres living crowd into the Church.
wilha view TO hide their rascally designs,
and more eiiectually to serve the Devil r.
In a word, rascali,y abounds among all
classes, and in all countries. The devil is
stalking abroad in open daylight, without
the precaulion TO dress himself! And if
the present generation of men could see
themselves in the Gospel Glass, they are as
black as he'll. ~

the person giving his name as Kelly, COM
mi,ted to our jail on Thursday last, is the
same individual, as he spoke of having a
muss with Railroad Conductor at Mounds

to Wheeling. In his account he was very
particular, in condemnih ing the conduct Of
the Conductor, not TO speak detrimenally Of
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Company
that he deems entitled to all praise, in the
energy of lis construction and progress
Although ruled TO be insane, he If ce tainly
sound on that subject, Tile Times says:
The evening before last, the Conductor
OF the tain of cars ON the Baltimore and o.
bio Roilroad, bound for this city, was pu, TO
great trouble by an apparently insane pas
senger, who kept moving from one car TO
another 10 the imminent danger OF his life.
The officers Of the train attempted TO con.
tine him 10 one Car, when he drew pistol,
with the evident intention OF making des-
1ructive use of the weapon. Crazy man f.
nally jumped off the cars at Moundsville,
twelve miles below, and walked up TO this
city. when he purchased ticket 10 ST. Louis
