When she was almost cold, and her tongue stiffened, she motioned me to
put my head near her.

"My dear child," said I, "it seems to distress you to talk, don't try."

"Oh, mother, let me leave you all the comfort I can, it is you who must
still suffer; my sufferings are just over; I am passing over Jordan, but
the waves do not touch me; my Savior is with me, and keeps them off.
Never be afraid to go to him. Farewell! And now, Lord Jesus, come, O
come quickly. My eyes are fixed on the Savior, and all is peace. Let me
rejoice! let me rejoice!"

NOTICES OF BOOKS.


"ROGER MILLER," OR "HEROISM IN HUMBLE LIFE,"--Is the title of a
small "Narrative"--a reprint from a London Edition, by Carter and
Brothers, 235 Broadway, New York.

The field of benevolent action of this holy man, was that great
metropolis--London. His life and character were in fact a counterpart of
our own Harlan Page. The somewhat extended "Introduction" to this
reprint was prepared by Dr. James Alexander. We feel justified in
saying, with his extensive experience, and his keen perceptions of truth
and of duty in such matters, this Introduction is worth all the book may
cost.
