Roger Miller, whose death caused such universal lamentation in the city
of London, was for many years a wanderer from God, and was at length
converted by means of a tract, given him by the "_way-side_," by an old
and decrepit woman.
"NEWCOMB'S MANUAL"--Is a carefully prepared little volume,
containing Scripture questions, designed for the use of Maternal
Associations at their Quarterly Meetings.
"MARY ASHTON"--Is the title of a little work recently issued
from the press, delineating the difference between the character of the
London boarding-school Miss, and one of nearly the same age, educated
and trained by the devoted, affectionate care of a pious mother. The
influence which the latter exerts upon the former is also set forth
during the progress of the story. Those readers who are fond of
delineations of English scenery and of the time-hallowed influences of
the old English Church, will be pleased with the style of the volume,
while some few mothers may possess the delightful consciousness of
viewing in _Mary Ashton_ the image of their loved ones now laboring in
the vineyard of the Lord, or transferred to his more blessed service in
the skies. But few such, alas! are to be found among even the baptized
children of the Church; those on whom the dew and rain gently distilled
in the privacy of home and from the public sanctuary bring forth the
delightsome plant.
