delightful occupation of "codrin5 her to be

full moon, and little twinkling stars, arm aud

glided through the deep, hlae sea; popped the
question; lady said yes, if pa had 40 ebjsc-
tons happy; arrived safely at San francisco;

WINES & LIQUORS
The illustrated Domestic Bible;
By Rev. INGRAM GOBLIN.

Accompanying the text, We have here in
the margin, brief but useful explanatory Notes,
practical reflections, and a few questions at
the end of each chapter, adapted for use after q
chapters reading in the family. The notes
and reflections combine the merit of great
brevity with much sound scholarship and prac=
teal wisdom and piety.
The illusions that SO often occur in the
scriptures to objects in nature and to ancient
usages are illustrated with descriptive engra-
wings, which cannot fail to attract the young,
and will help readers of all classes in gaining
a more precile idea of oriental life. We nos
tice that in this department. a liberal use has
been made of the almost countless illustrations
of antiquity in the line of paintings and mod,
els, which have been disentombed from the
sepulchres and temples of ancient Egypt.
Out OF the ruins of Egypt and Nineyah .
vast accession has been made to the resources
at command for reproducing the outer life of
the ancient world. Whoever examines the
pictorial ftuetratFoneia th;s- Bible will get
some idea of the Value of these DISCOVERIES.
Special attention has been given to chronic
logical dates; chapters are divided with refer
ence to the subject in hand, yet without sac.
rifcing the usual, long-estsblished division;
and finally the poetic portions, viz, the psalms,
proverbs, &C., ere SO arranged as to indicate
the parallelism, SO peculiar to Hebrew poetry.
The preen inent value Of this work is its
adaptation to the wants of the family. 1t win
be a hand book for the Sabbath School Teach
er, a help to every Christian parent, but es-
pecially a fountain of light and pleasure to the
children. We trust it will lead on many
thousands of our American youth to a bettcr
knowledge ofthose scriptures of truth which
make wise unto salvation.
The author is fayorably known in Great
Britain, and this work has already gained q
high place in the esteem ofsBritish christians.
It is republishedq4 this e0aatfy by Ander-
son q Fuller, Toledo. B., aud is brought to
thesdoors oe the citizens of Lorain and Ashland
counties, by their Agent, Mr.. MORGAN MEAs

TIE NIP OE, QUIZ COUNTY,

eral townships already completed, and ready for
public inspection. The Draught of Montgomery he
has been exhibiting through the township for the
past week. The accuracy and neatness of which
has gained him not only general recommend ltiop
but also q largely increased patronage in the TIP.
A County Map if accuracy plotted from reliable
documents is a valuable acquisition to the County
on many accounts, but if executed carelessly and
without reference to the necessary documents, must
necessarily be incorrect and hence entirely value
less. To convince the purlic of the accuracy of
McDonnelIs Map, he intends to submit the Draught
of each township to the inspection of the residents
before soliciting their patronage, by which means
he confidently hopes 10 obtain a numerous list Of
