The geysers, or springs of boiling-hot water. broken and spreads itself, it is white as snow. Some rise perpendicularly with great force, others are thrown out in spreading curves. Altogether they are wonderful objects, and impress the mind with sacred awe, as visibly displaying, in this singular form of manifestation, the power of the great Creator. Where snow continues all the year, and frost reigns through the chief part of it, here are burning-mountains, and springs of boiling-hot water, bursting out in lofty columns!

"Through all the world how great art THOU!
How glorious is THY NAME!"

OCCASIONAL REVIEW.

The Jerusalem Sinner saved; the Pharisee and the Publican; the Trinity and a Christian; the Law and a Christian; &c., &c. By John Bunyan. To which is appended, An Exhortation to Peace and Unity. With Life of Bunyan, by the Rev. James Hamilton, Scotch Church, Regent-square, London. Foolscap 8vo., pp. xxxiv, 310. Thomas Nelson.

IN taking leave of our kind readers, with whom we have felt that inward communion which produced an earnest and

practical desire to contribute, as far as was in our power, to their intellectual and spiritual benefit, by the various articles of our monthly compilation, we are glad to have the opportunity of calling their attention to a small volume, well deserving a place in the library of the cottager, however limited. There are few of our readers who have not some leisure moments which would be most profitably employed by that serious reading which should bring before them the solemn subjects comprehended in that one important word, RELIGION. They would thus be separated from the outward world of vanity, and their attention would be directed inwardly, in a manner which should at once inform their minds, and place them under steady discipline. In this way, mental wanderings would be prevented; for the mind would have something to think about, and would be, at the same time, accustomed to thought, and enabled to exercise and guide it. There can be no excellence of character without stability, and no stability without self-government; and there is little stability where there is no reading. Let this be remembered. The same causes that indispose the mind for reading, render it unstable. The religious professor who is disinclined for serious readingthat is, for conversing with the mind which lives and speaks in the book is always superficial, generally self-conceited, easily offended, and disposed to find fault. It should be a rule with the Christian to spend some time, more or less, every day, in communion with those who, being dead, yet speak in the works they have left behind, and with God; first, in meditation on his word, secondly, in prayer. The first Psalm should be seriously considered. It shows the only way by which a deep-rooted establishment, a continual freshness of profession, and an abundant and abiding fruitfulness, can be secured.

Every body knows the "Pilgrim's Progress" of John Bunyan. But his more strictly theological works, though numerous, are not so well known. Brought up a wandering tinker, he became a sound, first-rate Divine. He applied himself diligently to the study of divinity, as well as sought the experience of the blessings which divinity unfolded to him. Indeed, his study aided his experience, for a reason analogous to that which explains how our bodily health is aided by eating and digesting proper food. He who does not read and think, starves his soul, and then complains of his deadness, except when actually under the influence of violent excitement. Something is amiss when the stomach refuses wholesome bread and milk, and can only live upon brandy.

The tracts put together in this volume are some of the best which Bunyan published. "The Jerusalem Sinner saved"— a discourse from, "Beginning at Jerusalem"-is brim-full of thought and feeling;-deep thought, rich feeling, and expressed in that homely, though correct, Saxon English, which makes it just a book for cottagers. We advise all who have read John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," by reading this book, to hear, in a manner, John Bunyan preach.

But we must not forget the "Life of Bunyan," prefixed to his discourses. For its size, it is one of the best we ever read. It is a beautiful one. The cottager and the courtier, if possessed of equal piety, might read it with equal pleasure and profit.
