Christian Worship.

SERVICES FOR THE CHURCH, WITH ORDER FOR VESPERS AND HYMNS.

By DRS. OSGOOD and FARLEY.

This new Liturgy is believed to be peculiarly adapted to the demands and needs of our Religious Societies in city or country. It has been prepared with great pains, after a careful investigation of the whole matter, and extensive consultation as to the want of our Congregations and Pastors.

For particulars as to terms, &c., apply, in person or by letter, to the subscribers.

SELECTIONS,

introducing the Service of each day.

1 vol. 16mo. 75 cents, or in bevelled boards, $1.00.

"We cannot too highly praise this manual of domestic worship." — North American Review. The Providence Journal remarks, that "the work, both in thought and expression, as well as in typography, will commend itself to the devout as a valuable help at the family altar."

The Saturday Gazette says: "The present volume seems to meet the requirement of every family where devotional exercises are used, and we cannot doubt but such a book on the parlor table of every house in the city would exercise a beneficial influence. The tone of the volume is healthy, as it inculcates enlarged and encouraging views of the Christian religion."

The Christian Register says: "The selections, whether of prose or verse, are made with taste, and the prayers are brief, simple, chaste, reverential, and tender."

The Monthly Religious Magazine believes "this volume will prove more useful and more successful, if possible, than its predecessor. The Selections add much to the value of the book, the mechanical execution of which is all that could be asked for the purpose."

"We are pleased with the book, its tone, its method, its detail, while the mechanical execution of the work is faultless."- New Covenant, Chicago.

The Hebrew Poets.

A NEW TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE.

VOL. III.

Containing the books of Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Canticles, Lamentations, and Ecclesiastes. With COPIOUS AND VALUABLE NOTES on these books.

The Philadelphia Press remarks: "Here is a new and good novel, breathing poetry and purity, which deserves to be well known and highly regarded."

The Buffalo Express says: "The idea of the work is finely conceived, and it is executed with artistic skill and delicacy of taste."

The Augusta Age pronounces it "a capital story."

The Banner of Light declares, "The Master' is certainly a success, and we congratulate the fair authoress on her achievement."

The Hartford Press says: "The story charms by its simplicity and purity of tone."

The Saturday Gazette speaks of it as "a pleasant, well-written tale, has a good plot, and some well-drawn characters."

The Portland Transcript considers Mrs. Denison "not only a very agreeable writer, but a woman of extraordinary power."

The Chicago New Covenant says: "There is a fascination, a purity and elevation about the whole book, and all its characters, which charm and hold one to the end. The story ends well, and one rises from its perusal with a happy impression."

(UP STAIRS.)

JOHN A. WHIPPLE, PROPRIETOR.

THIS establishment (one of the oldest in the country) is supplied with all the conveniences and instruments necessary to the production of the finest and most accurate representations of persons or places.

The apartments are large and airy. The operators and artists are skilful and experienced.

Daguerrotypes, Photographs, and Stereographs

taken of every size and in all styles.

MR. WHIPPLE gives his personal and unremitting attention at the Rooms, and will spare no pains to satisfy his customers, and no expense in receiving every improvement in apparatus or methods of operating.

The generous patronage he has received for years has so diffused specimens of his work over the country that it is unnecessary to advertise the numerous recommendations his establishment has received. It has made itself known far and wide; and its past performances are, it is believed, a sufficient guaranty of its present ability.

To meet the fashion of the times, particular attention is now paid to

OARD
RD PHOTOGRAPHS.

MR. WHIPPLE is prepared to take fac-similes of buildings and estates, in town or country, machinery, patterns, engravings, -in fact, of any objects of which there is a desire to multiply copies.

He would call special attention to his success in PHOTOGRAPHING GROUPS.

BOSTON, 1861.

The wide-spread reputation of this Machine is eminently due to its peculiar merits, which are acknowledged by the best judges to surpass all others in the requisites for family use. It has become a domestic institution, and is justly looked upon as a household economy. In all the finer qualities of family sewing, on silk, linen, cotton, and broadcloth, in hemming, stitching, quilting, gathering, and all the innumerable ends to which female needlework is applied, the

confessedly occupies a position of pre-eminence. Those who have not hitherto availed themselves of the advantages of this machine are invited to examine its operation, and obtain specimens of its work, at the sales-room.
