believing that they will cheerfully aid in sustaining ;
a Literary Magazine, in connection with the inter- ;

devoted to the great cause of Temperance, much
will be found in its pages to please the general
reader.

The Social Psalmist:
A New Collection of Hymns for Conference Meet
ings and Family Worship.
BY BARON STOW & S. F. SMITH.
UPIIIS selection has been in preparation nearly 5
A years, during which time it has been subjected
to repeated examination and careful revision. The
object in its preparation lias been to furnish a selec
tion of choice hymns for the Vestry and Family Cir
cle, of moderate size and at trifling expense, exact
ly suited to the various stages and conditions of
the Conference Room as well as in Family Worship.
Hymns, for instance, on topics embracing Prayer,
i’raise, warning, invitation, entreaty, regeneration,
repentance, faith, times of declension, times of revi
val, receiving and dismissing menbers; the Church
iu prosperity, and in adversity, Missionary, Sab
bath School, and maternal meetings; meeting and
parting, sickness and health, opening and closing
year; brevity of time, death, judgement, heaven,
&c. It has been the aim to supply hymns not only
of elevated poetic and musical merit, but of true de
votional spirit. A selection of sonic of the choicest
hymns in the Psalmist, adapted to the design of this
book, will here be found, together with several new
hyms, as well as those long familiar in the confer
ence meeting, and hallowed by early associations of
home, and social prayer. Their familiarity, instead
of being an objection to them, is their highest praise.
That they have expressed the devout aspirations of
those who have passed on to the worship of the heav
enly temple, gives them a charm which compositions
wholly new could not claim. In the minds of differ
ent Christians, we believe that most of the hymns in
this book will summon up some sweet and holy re
collections.
The work contains 350 Ilyms, besides Doxologies
in various meters, not numbered in the list of hyms.
They are the productions of 134 different authors ;
115 are by Watts, 18 by Steele. 17 by Dodridge, 14
by Newton, 9 by Wesly, 5 each by Cowper, Faw
cett, Kelly, and Smith, 4 each by Ueber Beddome,
Stennett andToplady, and others by Swain, Mont
gomery, Hart, Dwight, Barbauld, Hyde, Reed,
Heginbotham, Grant, Cenniok, Oliver, Edmeston,
Kenn, De Fleury, Scott, Dobell, Raffles, Pitt, Noel,
Medly, Cotton, Ryland, Williams, Boden, Cottrel,
Logan, Condor, Collyer, Milman, Kirkham,White,
Collins, Robinson, Duncan, Stowel, Cobbin, Kings
bury, Thoruby, Allen, Grigg, &c. There is a large
variety of every description of meter, embracing 83
Long, 119 Common, 54 Short, and 94 of various pe
culiar meters.
• It was first contemplated having Music in the vol
uiuv, but on consultation a reflection it was deem
@ ® IS 1T ffl S IE S3 & A & S IF ♦
cd unadvisablo, as it must necessarily add to the
size and expense of the book, and music not familiar
enough to sing in social worship without notes is of
little avail, and is seldom used by those even unac
quainted with music, and most of those who usual
ly sing in the conference meeting are entirely unac
quainted with the rudiments of music, and conse
quently are in no way benefitted by this addition ;
and not unfrequently the spirit of devotion is retar
ded, by the use of tunes not familiar to those who
usually join iu this favourite soul-stirring service.
The’ work contains three valuable Indexes; an
Index of First Lines, a General Index, and a very
full Particular Index of Subjects.
The type, and size of the page, are the same as
the 18mo., or pew size of the Psalmist. It is prin
ted on good paper, and strongly bound in sheep, and
is afforded at the very low price of twenty-five cents
per copy, and $2 50 per dozen.
03= Copies for examination furnished clergymen
gratis, on application to the publishers. The work,
in paper covers, can be sent by mail at a trifling ex
pense for postage.

DR. W. W. MARSHALL would respectfully in
form all persons afflicted with Cancer, Fistula,
Wens, and all ulcers and tumors, originating from
whatsoever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Maacou, where he may be found both sum
mer and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public
against false reports, viz: that he had removed from
Georgia—that he was dead, or deranged in mind.
It also appears that some itinerant and other Doc
tors, are making, or trying to make, the false im
pression that they treat diseases precisely as Dr. M.
does, thereby misrepresenting him, and deceiving
their patients, some of whom, of late, have been
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged to
visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only necessa
ry to add, that his former and continued success in
the management of these diseases, is conclusive evi
dence of the superiority of his practice over all oth
ers known in this, or any other country.
Jefferson, Jackson Cos, Ga, Dec. 20,1848.
Dr. W. W. Marshall. —Dear Sir: Justice to
you and mercy to the afflicted, prompts me to let the
public know that some four years, since a small tu
mor made its appearance on my upper lip, near the
corner of my mouth, which preesntly became so
troublesome in shaving. Several friends expressed
concern for me, knowing that iny mother had died
of a Cancer on the breast —and that my appearance
indicated a predisposition towards cancerous affec
tions. But I felt but little apprehension until the
present year, although its size had considerably in
creased. The first of the year the Rev. Samuel
Anthony expressed great fear that it was a Cancer,
and told me that from personal knowledge of your
skill in such diseases, he was sure you could cure
me. But several physicians had cautioned me to he
careful not to irritate it, or let any one do anything
to it least they should make something serious of it. 1
By the latter part of April it had a threatning ap
pearance, and I had to attend the general conference
of the M. E. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and
as you are a citizen of Richmond Va. I determined
to see you when you came on to the Madison Springs,
Geo. In August last, 1 started for the Springs. On
my way thither a very eminent physician examined
it and tol l me it threatened to he a very bad place,
and kindly offered to cut ii; out for me. assuring me
that I would suffer less from the knife than any oth
er method of curing it. But 1 had known many
taken out with the knife and soon re-appear. I
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
ed that an unsightly scar would mark my face. But
1 am happy to say that in about fifteen days you
was successful in removing it and in 1 ss than two
weeks thereafter, the place bad entiri ly healed leav
ing so small a scar, as scarcely to be noticed without
close examination.
I would therefore advise all who are afflicted with
Cancer iu its various character, to call and see you,
for I consider your treatment better and far more
successful than any I have ever known, and I feel
confident in stating you will not undertake witnout
good lnm 0 of success.
With sentiments of high regard, I am yours,
J. W. GLENN
