BIOGRAPHY FOR YOUNG PERSONS.

L. C. BOWLES has commenced publishing a series of 'Biography for Youth,' compiled by an experienced person. Each volume will contain from 100 to 150 pages, embellished with lythographic drawings, and issued at irregular intervals as they can be prepared. They will be sold at low prices in order to secure a general circulation. 'It is thought such books would be of permanent interest and great utility. They would fix the thoughts on what is real instead of wasting the curiosity on what is fictitious. They are intended to embrace such notices of distinguished men in every department of mechanics, artst science, literature, philosophy, &c., as shall give to children a distinc idea of the persons, and of the several branches in which they excelled Their great design will be to do good by exciting young minds to feed that hungry appetite of the mind, curiosity, with what has been the substantial aliment of the wisest and best men. They will carefully avoid partiesin politics and sects in religion.'

BIOGRAPHY for Young Persons-designed to illustrate the Triumphs of Genius and Perseverance.

'But if there be in glory aught of good,

It may by means far different be attained-
Without ambition, war or violence,

By deeds of peace, by wisdom eminent,
By patience, temperance.'-Milton.

This No. contains-Lives of Guttemberg and Caxton, or the History of Printing-Lives of Benjamin Thompson, Count of Rumford-John Prideaux, Bishop of Worcester-and Madame de Stael-Embellished with a likeness of Guttemberg and Count of Rumford.

'Excitement and utility are main objects, in these biographies. Fictitious history may produce a powerful effect on the inquisitive mind of youth-but the fact of its being a story,' is constantly present to the Biography, reader, and serves to make the impressions momentary.' when level to the capacities of young persons, addresses that desire of imitation, which often pours the breath of life in their dormant resolutions.'

These pages, though designed for youth, will be attractive and useful, it is hoped to all ages. As materials for such a work cannot be originated, they will be taken wherever they can be found, in such form and in such quantities as will best promote the great object in view. Whether a second volume follows the present, will depend on the patronage this receives-but if a series be published, the numbers will not be connected, and will appear at such intervals as will be most convenient to the Compiler.

Jesus Christ,the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Heb. xiii, 8.

THE name of Jesus Christ is often used in scripture to signify his doctrine. He is, therefore, said to be and to do many things, which are not true of him personally, but only of his doctrine.

This is not a peculiar or unusual mode of speaking. The name of Moses is often used by the sacred writers in the same manner, signifying not the man himself, but his doctrine. Thus, in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus; 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.' Again, in the speech of James before the council at Jerusalem; For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath-day.' Paul also says; 'But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart.' Again, his enemies are
