RECENT LITERATURE.

A REGGMENTAL HISTORY. The 125th New
York State Volunteers. Edited and published
by Chaplain Ezra d. simons, No. Murray ST,
New York.
This is perhaps one of the best regimental
histories ever published and is so full of inter
est to old soldiers that q second edition will
certainly have to be printed. 1t is profusely
illustrated, having engravngs of all the promi-
nent General officers under whom the reg-
ment served, the regimental commanders as
well as company officers and private soldiers.
Chaplain Simons deserves well of the regiment
for the complete book he has given them, and
every man who served in that regiment, who
still lives, or who has left heirs to his record,
will certainly desire this work. 1t tells where
each company was recruited, gives a complete
roster of the officers and men of the field and
staff and of each company, who were wouned,
and what finally became of each individual
soldier, as nearly as could be ascertained
It also contains an a phabetical list of the
battles of the late war, from the beginning to the
close thereof, with the date of each. The book
also contains maps of all the great battlefelds
and has pictures of such notable prisons as Camp
Douglas (where the regiment was taken after
their parole at Harpers Ferry Va, where they
were surrendered with the garrison of that
place, by Gen. Miles, and that of the celebrated
Libby Prison at Richmond, Va, besides many
other historical views which will recall to the
minds of the mon who fought the war to a sue
cessful termination, scenes in which they took
a prominent part. 1t is the best regimental
history yet published that has come to our no.
tiee.

The Lords Prayer as a Model.

Al the prayers recorded in The Bible

for Christians TO take the Lords PRAYER
as a model? The conference room is no
place for long prayers. They should be
confined to the ciossL S)me ministers
never pray over SIX or eight minutes du-
ring their Sabbath service. whilst others
extend their PRAYERS 10 twenty minutes,
and we have sometimes heard a prayer
that was a half an hour long. Some moa
are not aware how much time they con-
sumo in their public devotions. Dat this
is no excuse for them. Three minutes
are long enough perhaps for a conference
prayer. Two minutes would be better
than ten and give better satisfaction %
the hearers. No one IS pleased 20 listen
