The prophetic Key" for June, a publ
leation. the merits of which may be
guessed from the following, which we
k from the s~alutatory of the editor:
The following reasons are given for thus
| appearing before the public: First-We
| are urged to the work by able q good
brethren of many denominations. Second
We believe that a large portion of the
prophetic Scriptures, to which We now
| invite especial attention, are very imper-
! fectIy understood, and hence wrongly in
terpreted- Third-We believe a correct
understanding Of the prophetic Word
will rebuke inidelity, strengthen the
Christian. foster the interests of Christ's
kingdom, and promote the eclarative glo-
~ Of our God. Fourth-A burning desire
on our part to promote investigation and
assist to the uttermost of our abilities in
the dissemination ofdivine truth. Fifth
A firm persuasion that God, who gave the
prophecies, will crown an humble, studi-
Gus and prayerful effort on our part with
a proper understanding and a correct in
depreciation of the same.

Mrs. A. T.. Graves, author OF Jephthah's

Publishing Company, lS70.
This is a limo of $50 pages, well printed,

plies, it is controversial, and is devoted to

wrong side of the Catholic Church, espe-
cislly to the mean supposed to be used
BY Roman Catholic officials in order to
induce the PROSECUTING of Protestant child
rem. We doubt the usefulness of such
works, and cannot therefore recommend
this one. 1t will suit those only who are
of the authors way of thinking, and
doubtless will be carefully read by such.
All others will sschew it as calculated to
harase annoy and axcita and IN anCap-
der and perpetuate prejudices it should be
the Office of all religious people to allsy.
GUILTY Or NOT GUILTY. The True Story Of
Manhattan Wei. New York: Carleton,
Publisher, Madison square.
This, like many of Carleton's books, is
well bound but miserably printed. We
find no less thar four shades of white pa
per within its cover, as if the publisher
regarded the authors effort only worthy
the tsg-ends Of his paper room. But the
must not be Judged Of by the
PAPER. "GUilty or Not Guilty" is a do
nestle story of some merit, and will suit
a ceBain class OF novel readers who are
roaming in the border-land of fiction and
not yet aspire TO Dickens, Thackeray
or TrOllop. Wade & Co., Of Main street,
ave it for sale.
tRoro of PT maIbrook" New York: Carleton,
publisher, Madison square.
Better printed than "Guilty or Not
"Honor Bright" is a better told
story. 1t is one hat conveys a moral, and
cannot fail to cave the reader better
than it found him. Wade q Co., of Main
have it for sale.
ROBERT -GREATHoUsE; an American novel.
By John Franklin swift, author of " Going
70 Jericho; OF, Sketches Of Travel in spain
and the East New York: Carelton, pub
Usher, Madison Square.
The type on which this book Of 57S
pages Is printed, is very cleaS, worthy q
paper; the binding is also good
Of the contents, we can only say, after a
nasty glance, that they will afford pleas
ant reading for the lazy hour of u long
days, and convey much that is
rue and interesting of the peculiarities
IF life in the country penetrated by the
railroad. Wade Il Co., of Main
street, have it for sale.
