Fausset and Smith on the poetioal Books.

Mr.. Edtor-Permit me to add a word to
your recent notice of this work. 1t is limo
volume of the size of an ordinary Fourth OF
Fifth Reader, numbering some CSC pages.
Within this compass are contained:
lst An Introduction to the Poetical Books
Of Scripture This includes discussion Of
the nature of Hebrew poetry, the character
of these books, and the doctrinal system there
in contained.
2nd. Appropriate Prcfaces to each of the
Books included in the volume job, the
Psalms, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the
Song of Solomon The headings to the first OF
these will illustrate the character of them all.
These are-Job real person; Where job
lived; The Writer of the Book It's Design,
and Its Poetry
3rd. The text Of the books, according to the
common English version
4th. A critical and explanatory commentary
thereon
Certainly here is multum III parro The
commentary is devoted to the one purpose Of
unfolding to the understanding of the ordinary
reader the mind of the Spirit Practical re-
marks, and hortatory appeals are therefore
avoided and the notes strictly confined to an
exposition, in the bricfest possible TERMS Of
the meaning of the words Of the Holy Ghost.
This, we are persuaded, is a true and just ap-
probation OF the proper Office of the Scripture
Expositor. | may be mistaken, but am in
clined to take the ground that the effect of
Commentaries, as commonly constructed and
used, is of very doubtful advantage. The re-
suit is, that the quick and powerful Word is
encountered, and its edge blunted, and when
men open what purports to be the Words of
God, they are bcguiled with the attempts OF
men to render it more impressive and practical.
Let men write and publish whatever the
grace of God may enable them to do, of this
kind. But let it not be inwrought into the
texture of the Sacred volume. Let that be
kept pure and entire, and left to do its own
proper work. as the infallible guide, and the

Rev. Luther Emerson.-The death of this

Rev. Luther Emerson death of this
good man and faithful minister occurred at his
home in Augusta county, Virginia, on the Sth.
He was native of Massachusetts, and was
descended from long line of godly ministers
bearing the name of Emerson, through three
or four generations. His father was the Rev.
Joseph Emerson, who is spoken of as the
Morning Star of improved female educa-
ton in New England, and who, after most
useful life, departed in the triumphs of faith
in 1888 The name of his mother was Rebecca
Hasseltiue, sister of the first Mrs. Judson.
Mr. Emerson's literary education was fin
ished ut Amherst College, his theological at
Audover Seminary He was among the best
scholars in the Synod of Virginia. He came
to Virginia about the year 1887, under in6rm
health, and after spending some time in the
county of Amherst, and (if memory serves, }
Abemarle also, in teaching, his first field of
labor was in the county of Highland, where
his ministry was among three or four churches
established there. From that county he re-
moved to Augusta, and took charge of the

faithful service till the close of his life.
We knew Mr. Emerson long and we'll He
was a sincerely pious man, peaceful, humble,
and devotedly attached to the system of truth
which he believed to be taught in the holy
scriptures. Inheriting a very feeble constitu-
ton from his father, lie labored under external
disadvantages as a preacher, and yet the solid
ity of his matter and the earnestness of his
convictions, as well as his ripe and scholarly
acquaintance with the Bible, made him an in
struetive minister of the word of God. But
his work is done, and he has now entered into
the JOY of his Lord We have not been fur
nished with any particulars of his last days.
His health had been for some years very poor,
but he performed all the labor he possibly
could to the last His departure was sudden;
but he was prepared to enter in where "they

The ingenious dreamer" may not be just
equal to Bunyan, yet We think he will be gene
rally looked upon as one
Gin whose well told tale,
Sweet truth and fiction both alike prevail"
IF the truth conveyed under the fiction may
not, either this week or next, be thought ex-
actly "sweet," by some, it may yet be really
none the less important and wholesome.
As the remaining part of this dream (the
manuscript of which is in our hands, is main
ly concerned with the topic introduced at the
conclusion of what is here published, we feel
ike saying-"The prophet that hath dream,
let HIM tell his dream" If it be objected that
this is not prophet, but woman only
one whom the Apostle does not allow to
speak in the Church, we reply, in their be-
half, that this is no reason why they may not
be allowed to dream, no reason why the dream
may not be published in the Central PresIyte-
rian, and no reason why, if the dream be ac-
eording to the truth, It should not be needed.
Cowper, surely good poetic authority, says of
Of the birds even:
''Tis certain they were always able,
To hold discourse, at least in fable"
We may as well say here, once for all, that
We shall permit no one to assail in this paper
the motives of those who have engaged in the
schemes referred to by the writer. Especially
is a careful avoidance Of such course due to
the Bazaar to be opened in Richmond next
Spring, under the patronage of the Associa-
ton of Ladies who have tin hand We know
their works, and their patience, that emphati-
cally they have labored and not tainted But
we also know that their determination, made,
not originally, when the Association was form
ed, but at 4 late period, has been a surprise
and grief to many, who heartily approve of
the oIjcct-the caring for the graves of our
soldiers buried in Holyvood-but who feel
constrained in conscience now to withdraw from
all countenanee Of or connection with any
Enterprise, - "Gift" or otherwise, which
has upon it in any shape the mcuuaJle faint of
gambling. Alas, that kind hearts and fair
fair hands shOnld be so misled and misdirect-
cd We shall have more to say when this
Dream of Hollywood" is ended.
1t should be distinctly understood that the
Ladies Of the Hollywood Memorial Associa-
ton and this Bazaar, though they have the
same object, are entirely different Societies.
1t is the Bozaor which has recently engrafted
upon it the policy of gambling under the
scheme OF GJt Eaterpri-e."
