poety SO rich and so extensive as that
which is denominated " sacred; +" and
especially that which celebrates the
scenes which make up the brief life
of Christ on the earth Architecture,
sculpture and painting have contribu-
ted their richest gifts through eighteen
centuries to the Saviour of men; but
the offering which poetry has brought
is the most costly, and the monument
which it has reared the most beauti-
full and enduring. In this volume,
collected by the good taste and dis
eliminating judgment of DR.. Hol-
land, popularity known to the literary
world by the nom de plume of " limo
thy Titcomb, we have the poetic re-
cital of the simplest scenes in the life
of the humblest of men, the homeliest
facts and features of nature; and
then the grand thoughts inspired by
the sublimest events in history. the
exalted glories of the Son of the
Highest. e'4' E
As compilation, the work appears
to be faultless. The songs of the best
Christian singers and choicest pro-
auctions of the Sacred poets are ar
ranged in order Of time, through. the
life of Christ and His Apostles. Mil
ton, Keble, Montgomery, Heber, Cow
per, Bonar, Willis. Hemans, Long
fellow, Whittier, and a host of others
contribute their separate rills to feed
the tide of song which celebrates the
greatest events of recorded time. The q
work is embellished with finely exe-
cuted engravings, illustrating: The
Vine and the Branches; The Holy
Family; Shilling the Tempest; Jairus'
Weeping over Jerusalem;
and Walking on the Sea. The work
is sold by subscription; and we take
pleasure in cordially recommending
Il to agents. Address III. C. johnson,
