author, of whom it has been truly said " That
dying, he has not writen rord he trould irish 10
erase His graphic pen never tires, and in
this new volume we perceive that he is still
successfully laboring to benefit while he
pIeases, and while he encliains with master
hand the attention of men, to make them bet.
ter This is more decidedly religious than his
other works, though it is not doctrinal nor
sectarian. 1t is work we'll calculated to dc
good, and is designed to show that the beau

developed amid the stern realities Of everyday
life, land not to be put aside at the tranquil
close of Sabbath evening"
