[3]   Dr. Clarke has a very curious note on this passage. He supposes that the "noise" will be occasioned by the action of electric fire, on the watery particles of the atmosphere. These, being divided into their two component gases, the one will ascend into the higher regions, and the other float on the earth's surface. Thus, he says, the account of the apostle is "philosophically correct." Whether this be the apostle, or whether such account is correct in any degree, let common sense judge.

[4]   This passage in its mere outward application, refers to a temporal overthrow in the land of Idumea; it has also, however, an acknowledged relation to the triumphs of the Gospel, and the overthrow of its enemies. Still, it makes little difference in the strength of the argument, to which event it is referred. Such descriptions have been given, they have been fulfilled, yet in no case literally. This is all that need be proved.

"The text is all the more acceptable to the general reader because the birds are called by their popular names, and not by the scientific titles of the cyclopædias, and we know them at once as old friends and companions. We commend this unpretending little book to the public as possessing an interest wider in its range but similar in kind to that which belongs to Gilbert White's Natural History of Selborne."—N.Y.

A Few Friends, and How They Amused Themselves. A Tale in Nine Chapters, containing descriptions of Twenty Pastimes and Games, and a Fancy-Dress Party. By M. E. Dodge, author of "Hans Brinker," &c. 12mo. Toned paper. Extra cloth, $1.25.

"This convenient little encyclopædia strikes the proper moment most fitly. The evenings have lengthened; and until they again become short parties will be gathered everywhere and social intercourse will be general. But though it is comparatively easy to assemble those who would be amused, the amusement is sometimes replaced by its opposite, and more resembles a religious meeting than the juicy entertainment intended. The 'Few Friends' describes some twenty pastimes, all more or less intellectual, all provident of mirth, requiring no preparation, and capable of enlisting the largest or passing off with the smallest numbers. The description is conveyed by examples that are themselves 'as good as a play.' The book deserves a wide circulation, as it is the missionary of much social pleasure, and demands no more costly apparatus than ready wit and genial disposition."—Philada. North American.

The Scriptural Doctrine of Hades. Comprising an Inquiry into the State of the Righteous and Wicked Dead between Death and the General Judgment, and demonstrating from the Bible that the Atonement was neither made on the Cross nor yet in this World. By Rev. George Bartle, D. D., Principal of Walton College, Liverpool. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.

"Appears to be to demonstrate that Christ actually descended into hell after death: that the time intervening between his death and his resurrection was spent there not in preaching to the lost spirits, but in actually suffering their punishment: and that this actual and literal suffering of the 'second death' was necessary to complete the atonement and to make him a true and sufficient substitute for sinners. We shall not attempt to follow the elaborate argument by which the author endeavors to sustain this most extraordinary position.... Giving to the author credit for very considerable research and no little ingenuity in the construction of his argument, we must, nevertheless, rank his book as among the 'curiosities of literature.'"—N.Y. Independent.
