The BlBiE.-How comes it that this
little volume. composed by humble men,
in rude age, when art and science were
but in their childhood, has excrted more
influence on the human mind and on the
social system than all the other books
put together Whence comes it tha,
this book has achieved such marvellous
changes in the opinion of mankind-has
banished idol worship-has abolished
intanticide-has put down polygamy and
d;vorce-cxalted the condition of woman
raised the standard of public morality
created for families that blessed thing,
a Christian home, and caused its other
triumphs by causing benevolent institu-
t ons, open and expansive to spring up as
with the wand of enchantment p. What
sort of book is this. that even the
winds and waves of human passion obey
it? What other engine of social i'm
provement has operated so long. and yet
lost none Of its.virtue Since it appear
ed, many boasted plans of amelioration
have been tried, and failed many codes
of jurisprudence have arisen, and run
their course. Empire after empire has
been launched upon the tide of time, and
gone down, leaving no trace upon the
waters. But this book is still going
about doing good, leavening society with
its holy principles-cheering the sorrow
full with its consolation-strengthcning
the tempted, encouraging the penitens-
calming the troubled spirit--and smooth
ing the pillow of death. Can such a
book be the offspring of humln genius :
Does not the vastness of its effects de-
monstrate the cxcellcncy of the power to
be Ct God

kENosHA q ReCKFoRD r. R.-It
will be remembered that the citizens
Of Rockford, by large majority voted
sometime since to loan the credit of
that city to the Kenosha, Rockford &
Rock Island r. r. in the sum of $50,
900. A few days since application
was made to Judge Sheldon of that
place. for an injunction, restraining the
city from issuing the bonds. The Judge
however,rSfused to grant the injunction.
The Rockford Register says in COM
menting on the subject:
"Whatever may be the private opin-
ion of different parties in regad to the
policy of issuing the Bonds we are
pleased to hear that all now manifest a
disposition to acquiesce in the decision
of Judge Sheldon, without further con-
test, and allow the Company at once
to secure the desired aid. We hope al
so, the Company may now be able to
close their contract for iron, aud pro-
vide for the completion of the Road at
the earliest possible day. We under
stand they have already sub-let the fin.

tractors are now at work.

We learn that efforts are being made
to increase the number Of volumes in the
Library Of the Public School. The pu-
pills Of the High School and some of
the friends Of the institution have do
mated and design to donate still farther,
valuable books. This is an enterprise
worthy OF earnest encouragement on
the part of the public. The evenings
for reading are fully upon us; and were
there good selection Of books, to be
loaned to the young people attending
school, many valuable hours would be
improved, many temptations Of the
street, and the evening party might be
escaped, habit of reading would be
superinduced and much useful knowl-
edge acquired.
Will those who feel sufficiently inter-
csted, in this undertaking to aid it by
donations of books, forward their IA
vors to the Principal Of the School at
their earliest convenience?
