dren. By Gardiner Spring, D. D." The author has been long and favorably known to the public as a chaste and powerful writer. The subject of the present work is one of great moment-one in which every parent has a real interest, And we commend this little volume not only to pious parents, but to all who desire to bring up their children in such a manner as to make them an honor to themselves and a blessing to their fellow-men.

HINTS TO PARENTS, on the Religious Education of Children.-By Gardiner Spring, D. D.— New-York, Taylor & Gould. This beautiful little volume, coming out at this time, will be peculiarly acceptable to the congregation of the able and excellent author, and will have the effect of a legacy of his opinions on a most important subject, now that for a time they are deprived of his personal instructions. It is a work that should be in the hands of every parent throughout our country, who has the temporal and eternal interest of his offspring at heart. The few and leading maxims of the Christian Religion are plainly and practically enforced, and the parents' duties

are descanted in a train of pure and beautiful eloquence, which a father's mind, elevated by religion, only could have dictated. We believe that a general knowledge of this little volume would be attended with consequences beneficial to society, since a practice of its recommendations could scarcely be refused to its solemn and affectionate spirit of entreaty.

PLEASURE AND PROFIT, OR TIME WELL SPENT;

being the first volume of a series. Edited by UNCLE ARTHUR. 18mo. Steel plate frontispiece. Price 37 cents.

Says the New-York Evangelist

PLEASURE AND PROFIT, OR TIME WELL SPENT. We have before us the first of a series of volumes just commenced by our young friends, Taylor & Gould, booksellers. The present volume contains a pleasing fancy sketch, called "the Museum; by Charlotte Elizabeth; edited by Uncle Arthur." We suspect that Uncle Arthur is the name adopted by a gentleman whose real

name would give currency to almost anything. He and his brother have a happy faculty not only to make excellent books, but also to edit (or as we say in plain English, make over) the books written by other people, so as to render them more entertaining, less erroneous, more safe, and far more useful. We have tried this little book, by putting it into the hands of a "juvenile reader," and find it to answer very well. The sentiments are correct, the feeling good, the style pleasing, the price reasonable.

PLEASURE AND PROFIT, OR TIME WELL SPENT. Vol. I. The Museum; by Charlotte Elizabeth; edited by Uncle Arthur. Taylor & Gould.

If attractive binding, paper, print and subject, can render a little book the favorite of children, this will be quite popular among them. It purports to be an account of a visit to the Museum; and the different objects are explained in an easy manner, in the form of dialogue. Religious knowledge is judiciously blended with instruction throughout.

FRIEND. Vol. II. By CARLTON BRUCE. Revised by Uncle Arthur. Price 37 cents.

Says the Salem Landmark.

THE BOY'S FRIEND.-This is the title of a series of volumes now in the course of publication by Messrs. Taylor & Gould, of New-York. The second volume, which we have just received from the publishers, is, as the preface remarks, "composed chiefly of extracts from different authors who have aimed to exert a favorable influence in the formation of character. Some parts of the volume are original." The book purports to be by Carlton Bruce, whether a real or fictitious name we know not, and revised by Uncle Arthur. A hasty perusal has satisfied us that this little volume is indeed "the boy's friend." The original
