Gen. Joseph E. Johnston says he
owes much of the activity and vigor OF
his old age to an outdoor life, and he
finds the duties of a member of Congress
too combining. Nor has he any taste
for them, though during his brief ser
vice he has been popular with both
parties. He will not accept. a renomi-
nation, and will probably 60 back to his
business in Richmond.
The Boston Post puts a great deal OF
Democracy and sense in short space
when 1t says that Freedom to discuss
all candidates "before the Cincinnati
Convention and absolute, hearty, and
cheerful acquiescence in the choice of
that body after the Convention" is its
motto. 1t is platform wide enough for
the whole Democratic party from Maine
to Mexico to stand upon.

We wish to call your attention to the fact
that we shall discontinue the publication of
the QUARTERLY REVIEW with the next
Issue. which will be for Summer.
Commencing with July, we shall issue the
"Momthly Revieso,"

which will be printed on a sheet 80 46 inches
In size, containing 16 pages, which pages will
be little larger than those of the Quarterly Re
view. This in the year will give so per cent more
matter than is at present contained in the
Quarterly Review for the same time.
The character of the MONTHLY REVIEW will
be similar to that of the Quarterly Review: but
as Its title indicates, it will be issued Monthly
instead of Quarterly, and, as before said, will
yearly contain fifty per cent. more printed
matter than is now given in the Quarterly Re-
view. The MONTHLY REVIEW will have no
cover; nevertheless, it will present an attrac-
tive appearance.
The subscription price for this work will be
SO cents year. A premium in patterns to the
value of Is cents, upon the same plan as the
premium is given with the DELINEAToR.) will
be given to subscribers. The subscription price
will be charged to the Agents, minus the cost
Of the patterns. upon the same plan as with the
DELINEAToR at the present time
1t is our belief that thousands of people will
subscribe to this work who would not subscribe
to the DELINEAToR, owing to the fact of its
greater price. 1t seems to US that an immense
subscription list can be obtained, when we take
into consideration that any lady purchasing a
pattern to the value Of % cents has only to add
Is cents to that amount, to become subscriber
to the REVIEW,
Trusting that you will see the advantages
which will result to your business by assisting
US to obtain subscribers to this work, and hop.

Lutheran Sunday.School Hymns.

In the General Synod in Richmond
on Tuesday last. Rev. Professor 8. A.
Repass, D. D., of the Theological Semi
nary, in behalf of the Committee on
Sunday-School Hymns and Service
Book, reported substantially as follows:
That the manuscript for book is near
completion, and that when hymns and
iturgical portions are placed in the
hands of the chairman of the commit
tee the whole may be ready for the
printer within one month. Oliver Dit
son & Co., of Boston, will issue the
book upon terms liberal to the General
Synod.
After considerable interesting discus
sion upon the detailed report of the
committee, the following resolution was
passed as expressive of the mind of the
Synod upon the general subject; That
Professor Ide, of Staunton. Va, be en-
couraged to prosecute to completion the
Sunday.school music-book, and that he
append thereto such a "Form of Ser
vice" for opening and closing the schools
as the Committee on Revision may ap-
prove.
A resolution of w. E. Craig, of Staun-
ton, provides that all profits accruing
from the sale of the Hymnal and the
Service-Book be appropriated, as per
request, for the benefit of Verona Sun
day school, in Augusta county. Mr..
Craig took occasion to speak in most
complimentary terms of Professor Ide,
who made this request. The work Of
preparing material for the Hymnal has
been done by Professor Ide without
charge and with very great care.
