are ripe, make say three barrels of cider. Then
pare and core four bushels of apples. Then
boil down the three barrels of cider to one and a
half, and set it convenient to the copper kettle,
in which place the four bushels of apples. Pour
on to the apples from the cider enough t" answer
the purpose, and fire up. As the cider bcils away,
add more and more, until it is all up and the con-
tents of the kettle brought down TO a proper
consistency, of which one must he judge. A lit

A PERFECT YEAsT.-Sift pint of -four, pour
boiling water on it till thoroughly wet, stir WELL
and set aside till cooled to blood heat. Then add
a teacupfnl of yeast. In twenty four hours the
mass will all be yeast of the hest quality.
To make this into yeast cakes, work enough
sifted corn-meal into it TO enable the mass to be

remain good for year or more, but is best when

LAGOON. An Essay upon the Limits Of Painting
and Poetry: By Lessing, Boston, Robert Bros.
For sale by Loring, Short and Harmon.
In translating Lessing's LAGOON, Miss
rockingham has accomplished task of no
easy achievement; the rendering into pure
flowing English, of the art criticisms of this
master critic is labor to which lifetime
might be proftably devoted; this will be
realized when we consider the wide differ
ence existing in the grammatical construction
of the two languages. An appendix to the
book contains the translations OF the many
passages from Latin and Greek authors
through which the arguments of Lessing are
Illustrated. In order to reap the rich har-
vest of ideas contained in the work, it should
be thoroughly read and re-read. Upon its
first appearance it created an epoch in art
criticism, and its lessons are as instructive
and weighty to-day as then. The great prin-
ciples developed throughout the book will
help the reader to an ever-deepening appre-
citation of Ithe undying works OF the great
masters of art and literature. A deep i'm
preston made upon the reader of "Laocoon"
is that of the easy and complete mastery OF
the author over his subject. Goethe has
said of it, that in the confused period OF his
youth, it cleared np the whole heavens to
him and made his path plain before him.
"GENEs1s DISCLOSED" New York, G. w. Carle-
ton g. Co. For sale by Bailey s. Noyes.
The author of this work finds himself un-
der the stern necessity of exposing King
James translators Of fhe Bible. For, while
Moses, writing as was instructed of God,
''records the creation of two Adams, viz. in
Gen. 1: 26. Adam, male and female man
and in verse 27, the creation of Ha-Adam,
viz, the Adam whom He placed in the gar
den of Eden; the former being the race
Adam. and the latter the individual-Adam >
the translators aforesaid, have ignored the
race-Adam altogether; thus sinfully, and wan
tonly, suppressing, extinguishing, and practi
cally annihilating whole class of uod's
creatures; burying, withal, in one common
grave the much coveted history of the origin
of races. This, He says, has been done by
wilfully, teloniously, and possibly wish malice
prepense, dropping the very importan
word, And, which in the Hebrew, begins
verse 27, and in place there of, intrnd'ns ".

this is, indeed, all. We humbly acknowl-
edge that we are not an Hebrew of the He

sumo to say how much might be contained
in the Hebrew, And. The Septuagent, We
find, holds on upon the "And," but makes
no point as between Adam and Ha-Adam.
Apparently they didn't see it; and we hope
to be pardoned for like obtusenes5.
We take leave to conjecture, that had 1t
been the intention of the Creator to reveal
IN Gen. 1: 26, 27, the much coveted informa-
tion as to the origin of races, He would have
done something more palpably to that intent
than say Ha to ADAM

WOMEN BEFORE THE LAW. BY John Proffatt L. L.
b. OF the New York Bar. G. P Putpam's SOM,
New York. For sale by Loring Short & Harmon.
This work may contain a good summary of
the law of New York relating to women but IT
certainly states the law of Maine very incor-
rectly. 1t is evidently compiled from other
treat:ses more or less old and the young n
tleman who is evidently very recently ''of the
New York Barr has taken no pains to see
whether the law has since been changed,
This is inexcusable in a work protesting to
be sort of handbook on subject in regard
to which more than any other the law is con-
tinually changing. In fact Law Books for
the Public are the last things on which be-
ginners should try their prentice hands. Un-
less Mr.. Proffat has made up his mind to
more conscientious word work, we hope he
Will not be tempted by kind language of any
body to make his attempt "of greater scope
and reference in future book as is threat
ened in the preface.
