REVIEW OF BOOKS.

The INSTITUTES OF MEDICINE. By Martyr
Paine, A. NJ, NJ D., LII D., Professor of
Medicine and Materia Medica in the Univer-
sity of the city of New York. 18th Edition
New York: Harper & Brothers, Publish
ers. London: Sampson Low, Son & Co.
1861.
This well known work has been received from
the publishers, through Woodhouse & ParhaW
of this city 1t is an octave of 1870 pages,
beautifully printed, and in all other respects
prepared according to the style of the cele
brated house issuing it.
Not feeling competent to judge of the spe-
cial merits of work of this kind, we can yet
form some estimate Of it through others. If
the testimonials of nearly all the medical jour
mails of the country may be taken as an index,
it is production of vast learning, the result of
immense and long continued labor, and holds
the place Of standard work among medical
men. We find twenty-six journals concuning
substantially in the same views. Having an
elaborate index of about 100 pages, it must be
very convenient for reference. We may safely
recommend it as a volume suited to be very
useful, and an ornament to this laborious pro-
feSsiOn.

The Old Paths The article by Men.
contains an earnest plea for a faithful Obser-
vance of the Sabbath. His view is no doubt
strictly correct, that we are in far more danger
of becoming too lax than too rigid in regard
to this vital matter.
We are sure, however, that the piece in the
Central Presbyterian to which he refers, was
not intended to countenance the course of those
who would weaken the foundation upon which
this great primeval ordinance was established.
The special object of the writer was to give an
account of the discussion in Scotland, not to
enter into it himself Still, it is well to guard
this sacred institution from all improper en-
croachments, and to stand fast by that holy
day sanctioned by the great Laughter from
Eden, from Mount Sinai, and from Mount
Zion

South they would soon go up with it; but now
they will probably go down with the North
too. Do let these considerations be spread
abroad through your paper, and if possible
also through the secular papers.
The deep feeling in Baltimore in behalf Of
Southern sufferers is just now finding express
sion in the preparations making for great
Fair which Is to come off on the I'd Of April
and which is to be great affair." Applicants
for space for furnished tables already exceed
the immense capacity of the Mechanics Insti-
tute Hal, one of the largest halls in the coun-
try;-whilst contributions from a distance are
constantly announced, in addition to the num-
erous and munifcent gifts of Baltimoreans. =
A Boston gentleman (l) presents a pair of car

hood had already given a pair of mules. Some
body gives an immense OK, and a Baltimore

forthcoming with the same spirit as the donors,
it will yield very many dollars for the relief OF
the poor sufferers of the South. | had no idea

Humane Association of Union and
Church Hills-As one of the Directors of
this Association, 1 gratefully acknowledge, in
its behalf, the following donations, viz From
a friend in Louisa county, Va, a valuable con-
tribution of meal and meat; friend in
Brooklyn, $40; another in New York, 800;
and one in Baltimore, $lOO The kind donors
may feel assured that their assistance has been
serviceable to the needy The visitors of the
Association are remarkably diligent and eff
cient, and the relief which they afford is indis
pensable to a large and increasing number of
sufferers, in extensive suburbs of Richmond,
who are not provided for by the Relief Asso-
citation Of the city proper. Other contribu-
tiOns in money or provisions will be thankfully
received, as they are urgently needed.
The Association, having determined to give
employment to a large number of females who
are anxious to work, will receive contributions
of material for clothing. 1t is proposed to
make and sell various kinds of useful gar
ments. p. B. PRICE,

A Paper Well Read.-Many read over
their religious newspapers and then they are
cast away Others keep them on file, and
there are few things which would be more in
teresting to them some years hence, Oh to those
coming after them than bound volumes of a
good newspaper. But if the religious paper
is not preserved, then much good and pleasure
may be conferred at a trifing expense, by mail
ing it to others who do not take it.
A subscriber in the far West, mentions in
letter of business the interesting r0nnd trav-
elled by the copy sent her;
GAS the paper comes every week, feel that
it is not quite as far off as it used to seem. For
the sake of the publishers regret not being able
to secure subscribers to the Central Presbyterian
But the copy which reaches me is first read by
Mrs. Ms family, then Mrs. Q. reads 1t, sending
it to her two sisters. l mail it to a friend in
Cynthianna, Kentucky, who sends it to Grip
pied brother. The families like it very much,
but one is afraid to take it, and the others really

The Church at Culpeper C. HIT seems
hardly necessary to add word to the forcible
appeal of our brethren; yet there are some
passages in the letter which encloses this docu-
ment, illustrating the spirit of the people who
present this case to the Christian public, that
we cannot withhold.
"We are determined, they say, "to make
every effort rebuild our house of worship
We are holding our public services, our prayer
meetings and Sunday School, every Sabbath,
in private houses Weshall have to gothrough
with great deal of labor, but believe that
with energy and perseverance we can succeed.
We must have house built, cost what sacri-
flee of time and labor it may. We are terribly
in earnest about this matter; we cannot afford
to wait We must have place of worship,
and we must have services every Sabbath, and
minister to live with us. Do all you can for
us, and our grateful hearts will pray Gods
richest blessing upon you. :"
Should any one who are disposed to cOntri-
butte to this object find it more convenient to
place their gifts in our hands, we will take
pleasure in receiving and forwarding them

As COPY of the Central Presbyterian has
to be confseated for the inspection of these
military officials, we feel some solicitude that
they should get the benefit of its wholesome
truths. For this end we shall endeavor to give
them their portion in due season, and especial
" in regard to that fundamental right in all
free government, the freedom of the
press "a right never more in peril than at
this day. In the meantime, we beg leave to
print for their special inspection one or two
passages from the same author already quoted.
GAN violence exerted towards opinions which
falls short of determination serves no other pur-
pose than to render them more known and ul-
timately to increase the zeal and number of
their abettOrs Opinions that are false may be
dissipated by the force of argument; but when
they are true their punishment draws to them
infallibly more of the public attention, and en-
ables them to dwell with more lasting weight
and pressure on the mind
"When public discOntents are allowed to
yentthemselves inreasoning and discourse, they
subside into calm but their confinement in
the bosom is apt to give them fierce and dead
" tincture. The reason of this is obvious; as
men are seldom disposed to complain till they
at least, imagine themselves injured, so there
is no injury which they will remember so long,
or resent so deeply as that of being threatened
into silence. This seems like adding triumph
to oppression, and insult injury. The appa-
rent tranquility which ensues is delusiye and
omenous; it is that awful stiffness which ma
ture feels while she is awaiting the discharge
of the gathered euDer.
Instead of the question being whether the
press, and in one part of the country as well as
in the other, shall under responsibility to civil
law, be tolerated in its freedom to comment
upon any and all branches of the government
and upon all subjects The question is before
the country whether this enormous violation Of
principle so dearly bought-a jewel so price
less-whether this shall be tolerated
We may safely predict that should General
Grant live few years, he will rue the day
when he put forth his hand to profane this sa-
cred ark: There as no INJURY ,chich men re-
member so long, or resent so deeply, as that Of
being threatened into silence,

of Missouri, the promptness, heartiness,
number, and character of the responses, tc

SynOds Committee, having convinced those
who had the matter in hand that the need of
such paper was felt throughout the State "
Its editor is Rev Robert p. Farris, whose
manly and Christian salutatery, as well as the
intrinsic merit of his columns commends his
first number to his brethren and the public.
He says:
I'm accordance with the wish which
prompted this enterprise, and which has since
been repeatedly and even DANGEROUSLY ex-
pressed, it is our chief design to be pro6ta-
beguestin the Christian household To those
families who shall bid us welcome, we hope to
come in the fulness of the blessing Of the
Gospel of Christ, bringing refreshment to
the weary, comfort to the mourning, courage
to the timid, warning to the careless, and in
structiOn to those who would know more of
Jesus, and desire to keep themselves in the
love Of Cod looking for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

This is an elaborate pamphlet of seventy-six
pages, Svo., and is evidently the contribution
of highly cultivated mind With regard to
some of the views presented there is a diver
sity of opinion; but whether the reader shall
adopt or reject them, he will find this publica-

consideration. He cannot fail to derive valua-
bic instruction from its wide survey of facts,
and will feel himself under the lead of one who
is familiar with the road he travels. 1t is to

PLEASANT PATHS FOR LITTLE FEET. BY Rev.
Joseph A. Collier Kingston, n. Y. Ameri-
can Tract Society.
We have read this little book with real pleas
ure and approval. If there is any thing objec-
tionable in it we have not been able to discover
it. The style is simple and manly, and the
authors aim, to illustrate passages of Scripture
by familiar remarks and attractive incidents,
seems successfully adapted to awaken thought
while he gives entertainment.

In respect to the tissues now agitating our
own Church, he says;
eve shall, in the fear of God, and without
respect of persons, endeavor to do our part,
not to divide the Church, but to maintain its
integrity. This, we are persuaded, can be Sc
cured only by the reputation of erroneous
policy, the repeal of unconstitutional deliver
ances, and the conformity of utterances on
questions of morals, to the word of God and
former enactments

Questions on Bible Doctrine.-It is graft
flying to know that these questions are highly
appreciated A suggestion has been made to
us in connection with them, which we beg leave
to commend most warmly to the households
where the Central Presbyterian is received
If it were made part of the Sabbath service
to go over one of these lessons with all the
members of the family together, the benefit of
the exercise would soon be apparent. If even
nothing more could be done than to search out
and read carefully the references, the result
could not fail to be most happy. In fact, the
best interpreter of Holy Scripture is Scripture
ITSELF one part casting light upon another;
and whatever tends to form and fix this habit
of investigation must be invaluable.

London is world in itself The last English
census deyelopes the curious fact that there

New York is the most cosmopolitan of cities.
1t has not so many Scotchmen as Edinburgh,

it is probably the third in the world, ranking

bALllhOhH1' -hNf tft lot. lOOO.
Rev. and Dear Brother A friend here who
has shewn his deep interest in the South by
numerous deeds, as well as constant kind and
sympathizing words, suggests that it would
really be matter of beneyolence to Southern
young men, to advise them against coming in
this direction to seek situations. So far as
Baltimore is concerned, that thing is entirely
overdone-the applications being very far be-
yOnd the demand A friend tells me that
there were thirteen applicants at his store yes
terday forenoon, for none of whom was there
place The best friends of the South think
it would be far better if these young men would
remain in their own section, doing what they
can, if it be ploughing or digging. Even if
successful in getting place here, all they could
expect would be bare and meagre subsist-
ence, and that they could get by laboring in
the South There too, whatever change the
future may bring will probably be for the bet
ter. Things have touched bottom. Here and
through the North it is different. A CONNER
cial crash is anticipated and is inevitable, and
when that comes, and expenses must be re-
duced, the curtaiment will begin with dispens-
ing with the Southern young men whom they
have often employed from policy, and who
having come last must so first. The common
feeling among the friends Of the South, both
here and in New York, is one of regret, that
so many Southern young men should be com
ing away: and the conviction is that in the long
run they would have done better to remain
