A ADVENTURES IN THE WILDERNESS,
or Camp Lie in the AdiIondacks, by
ReY: W ~ II, II; MUERAY. BoS Io1.
ERT CLARKE & Co, Price 81 50.
The author Of this charming book
is pastor of the Park Street Church,
in Boston. He evidently regards
sound body as a. neeessity for the pre-.
scryation of sound mind and proper
moral development. He has been in
the habit of making Summer pilgrim-
ages to the innermost soIitudes of the
Adirondack mountain region of New
York, and now makes the public a
confdant of his hermit devotious;
and while inviting and exhorting 9TH
ers to follow his Christian example, |
gives to those who cannot, as nearly a
realizing sense Of the glad aud heal
ing experience as seems possible. He
has all the enthusiasm of proper
deyotee to the sport Of fisherman
and hunter, and we do not like him
any the worse for his tendency to ex-
aggerate and magnify somewhat in his
narrative. Indeed, we think it very
becoming that he should indulge in
fish story now and then, which he
finds us In no mind to be skepticaf Of
The volume is divided into eleven
chapters OF these. Running the
Rapids" "The Bail, Crossing the
Carry Phantom Falls, and one
or two others, have given us most
pleasant satisfaction. With the hearty
sense of enjoyment and real love of
nature which the aAthor breathes into
his pages. there is also large fund
of humor and drollery that makes
some portions of his book very
amusing. Robert Clarke & Compa-
ny, of Cincinnati, will forward
promptly copies Of the book ordered
by mail.

=" Barnes's Notes have been fer
years the favorite work of the large
majority of Sabbath School teachers,
and the author has occupied place
in the front rank of Biblical expos
itors Of the Christian world. He has
worhily crowned the earnest and
fruitful labors of long life with this
critical analysis and commentary on
the Psalms of David There is no
better and more striking illustration
of the value of time well improved
than in the labors of Albert Barnes.
During nearly half a century, while
he has been the faithful pastor of one
of the largest city churches in the
country, he has devoted portion of
the early hours of each day to the
study of the Bible. and has sent out
volume after volume of valuable COM
mentaries, which have done more
than any other works to aid tho ex-
animation and Interpretation of the
Scriptures with the masses of Chris
tan students. AS he remarks at the
close of these volumes, it has required
some sacrifice to do it; it has de-
handed some resoluteness of purpose
and steadiness of aim; it has required
some discipline of mind to keep him
firm to the purpose. But at the end
of his long task, when the work of
life is nearly over, he can look back
upon it with pride and satisfaction,
and rejoice that he has been permit
ted to do so much to make intelligi-
BILE the great bulwark of the Church
and of civilization-the Bible.

The great traveller and popular au-
thor, o a Familiar Letter to the read
ers of his former works, announces
this as probably the last of his vol
umes of travels-an announcement
which will be received by all his null
titude of admirers with much regret.
During the past twenty-five years he
has written and published ten vol
umes of travel, which have had wider
circulation than those of any similar
character ever published. This elev.
