5 Should poverty's destructive blow
Lay all my worldly comforts low;
And neither help nor hope appear,
My steps to guide, my heart to cheer
Lord, pity and supply my need,
For thou, on earth, wast poor indeed.
6 Should Providence profusely pour
Its varied blessings on my store;
O keep me from the ills that wait
On such a seeming prosp'rous state
From hurtful passions set me free,
And humbly may I walk with thee.

7 When each day's scenes and labors close,
And weari'd nature seeks repose,
With pard'ning mercy richly bless'd,
Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest;
And, as each morning sun shall rise,
O lead me onward to the skies.

8 And, at my life's last setting sun,
My conflicts o'er, my labors done,
Jesus, thy heavenly radiance shed,
To cheer and bless my dying bed;
And, from death's gloom my spirit raise
To see thy face and sing thy praise.

ENGLISH CHURCHWOMEN

OF THE

SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

One Volume.

18mo. 50c.

"This is a small and very neat edition of a most delightful and useful book. It contains the biography of such excellent characters as Viscountess Falkland, the Countess of Car berry, Lady Capel, and Mary Evelyn. We cannot think of a better volume to put int the Parish Library and the Family Circle. Wherever it goes, it must exert a most be nign influence."-Calendar.

"A charming compendium of female biography, of which it must have occurred to the reader there is a lack in our literature. Of course, as the title implies, the memorials ar confined to members of the Established Church of England, but that makes them no les. interesting and certainly no less profitable to the religious reader, since the principles of virtue and religion are subjects for delightful contemplation, and profitable withal, what ever their incidental relation or position. We are glad to possess and commend to other. this excellent publication."-N. Y. Commercial.

"No intelligent Christian can read these biographical notices, without meeting with tra of character well worthy of admiration and imitation."-Southern Churchman.

LATHROP'S APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.

CHRIST'S WARNING TO THE CHURCHES:

WITH AN APPENDIX ON THE

APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.

BY THE

REV. JOSEPH LATHROP, D. D.

WITH AN INTRODUCTORY NOTICE BY THE REV. J. M. WAINWRIGHT, D. D.

"A Treatise on the necessity of external ordination, and of a succession from the Apos ties to constitute valid Orders, from a Congregational minister, is somewhat of an anomaly Yet this is such a one. The author was settled in West Springfield, Mass., and delivered and published these sermons on the occasion of being visited and annoyed by an itinerant preacher who "made great pretensions to piety," and "taught that every saint has a right to preach." The work in its present republished form, cannot fail to be useful in teaching men from whence authority to preach the Gospel is to be derived.-Calendar

"Here we have a defence of the apostolic succession, written by an eminent Congregationalist, the Rev. Joseph Lathrop, and edited by a high Churchman, the Rev. Dr. Wainwright. It is a good book, although something of a curiosity in its way. It is gotten vp in Stanford and Swords's usual neat and tasteful style."—Recorder.

WILBERFORCE'S PRAYERS.
FAMILY PRAYERS,

WILLIAM WILBERFORCE, ESQ.

PRAYERS BY THE REV. JOHN SWETE, D. D.

"Thet the habit of family devotion is not inconsistent with the most zealous and uzre mitted 'scharge of public duty is evinc by the example whien the author of these Prey ers afford. His singular union, indeed, ofrivate religion and public usefulness, may in great measure be attributed to that state of mi! of which this custom was at once a cause and a consequence. The Grecian colonists, whose more polished manners, and the simplicity of whose native speech, were endangered through the contaminations of barbarian intercourse, by assembling at stated seasons, to confess their degeneracy, and revive the thought of porer times, retained as well the language which was their common bond, as the superiority which was the birth-right of their race. Amidst the increasing turmoil of our days, the custom of daily worship may be looked to by Christians for a similar result. It has been shown, indeed, that this practice comes commended by the experience of former times. But if it were needed in a period of quiet and repose, how much more amidst the agitation by which our cities are now convulsed, and which shakes even the villages of our land! In tranquil days, the disciples were comforted by the presence of Christ; but it was amidst the waves of Gennesaret that they learned to appreciate that power which could hush the stormy elements into rest. It was when neither sun nor stars for many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon him, that the captive apostle could be of good cheer, because there was with him the angel of that God, whose he was and whom he served."

"The present volume contains two works, which have been separately published in Eng. and; the Family Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount having appeared there, about a year after the first edition of the Family Prayers. The arrangement now adopted wil it is thought, be found orant for domestic worship; as combining within the same volume a Maun prayer, and portions of scriptural exposition for reading.

"It may som presumptuous in the Editor to say any thing by way of introduction to productions bearing on their title-page the name of THORNTON-a naine, familiar not to England only, but to the world; and indissolubly associated with our thoughts of whatever is enlarged in Christian beneficence, sound in religious views, and beautiful in consistency of daily practice. He will take the liberty, however, of simply saying, that in regard te the Family Prayers, that, without at all detracting from the merit of other works of the same description, they appear to him to preserve, in a remarkable degree, the difficult and happy medium between verboseness on the one hand, and a cold conciseness on the other. It is believed that none can use them, without feeling that they impart a spirit of grati. tude and self-humiliation. They are what prayers should be,-fervent, and yet perfectly siraple.

The Commentary upon the Sermon on the Mount, is remarkable throughout for the profound insight into human nature which it manifests: for its clear exhibition of the fundamental truths of the gospel: and for the faithfulness, honesty, and at the same tinga, the true refinement and dignity of the language in which its instructions are conveyed,"

MEMOIRS OF MRS. ELIZABETH FRY,

INCLUDING

A HISTORY OF HER LABORS

IN PROMOTING

THE REFORMATION OF FEMALE PRISONERS,

AND THE

IMPROVEMENT OF BRITISH SKAMEN,

BY THE

REV. THOMAS TIMPSON,

Honorary Secretary to the British and Foreign Bailors' Society

"An interesting sketch of the life, labors, and death of one who was numbered with the salt of the earth. In works of love, she was most abundant. She toiled with indefatiga bie zeal, for the benefit of her sex, exploring the darkness of dungeons, and diffusing through them the light and influence of her own lovely and tender spirit."-Episcopal Recorder.

"Mrs. Fry was one of those unselfish beings, whose sole object in life seems to be to do good, to the full extent of the means and opportunities with which God has blessed them. Her arduous labors in effecting reform in prisous, were no less earnest and successful than her exertions in behalf of the seamen of Great Britan, a class whose moral and spiritual interests, had been, until her day, shamefully neglected. This volume exhibits the incep tion, progress and results of her benevolent enterprises, and is filled with matter of rare interest to the Christian and philanthropist. It deserves a wide circulation."-Protestant Churchman.

"She lived a life of active benevolence, however, which may be usefully contemplated and copied by those of a sounder faith. By her numberless journies to visit the abodes of the poor, the sick, and the imprisoned, and by her ceaseless efforts to ameliorate their condition, she earned the well-deserved name of the female Howard.' Her useful career is well portrayed in this volume."-Calendar.

"The extraordinary character of Mrs. Fry, and her unparalleled labors exerted to promote the reformation of female prisoners, and the improvement of British seamen, have earned for her a reputation throughout Great Britan and Europe, second only to that of the philanthropist Howard. Mr. Timpson's Memoir is a brief but comprehensive tribute to her virtues and worth, by one who was associated with her in some department of phi lanthropic service."- Gazette & Times.

"Some time ago we announced the intention of the New-York publishers to reproduce this work from the English edition. Their purpose is now fulfilled, and no doubt the phi lanthropic reader will greatly prize this memorial of a lady who, beyond all her female contemporaries, was in labors of benevolence abundant. The American edition, with the exception that it has no portrait, is nearly or quite equal to the English and at a less price. The admirable system with which Mrs. Fry prosecuted her labors is beyond all praise and if the work wrought no other purpose than furnishing such an example of order in the prosecution of multifarious duty, it would amply repay the purchase. But its usefulness is by no means confined to that single feature."-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
