wider circulation; in a word, to make it all that the Christian portion of our denomination would have it become. We mean to add to the ability, variety, life and scope of its columns, during the year to come; to seek more firmly to seat the Review in the affections of its readers; to stimulate their minds to thought, to elevate their piety, and to make them more practical, as well as more intelligent Christian men and women. On the principles of Congregationalism, on the best methods of increasing the power of the truth, and of reaching the masses non-attendant upon public worship, and making more efficient those departments of Christian labor already occupied and worked, we mean that the Review shall take a leading position. We wish, therefore, to call the attention, not merely of young ministers, but also of the young men and women of our church to our work, feeling confident that if God bless our labors, we shall not be disappointed, and shall not disappoint our readers. It may not be unappropriate to announce that we have in contemplation arrangements, which will be made public in due time, for enlarging and giving new efficiency to the editorial corps. EXTRACTS FROM BUCKTHORNE'S NOTE BOOK. CHAP. DCCLXIX. CONCORDIA, Oct. 16, 1845. There was a heavy frost last night, and my summer squashes have stopped growing. Oct. 19. Walked in the woods to-day, and saw a squirrel. Nov. 3. John Smith and Sally Brown came to see me to-day. Dec. 20. Have much neglected my Note Book of late. I must be more faithful in recording all important items. Jan. 1, 1846. This is a prominent day in the year, for it is the first one. The old year closed yesterday. Tempus fugit. Jan. 18. The trees are nearly all bare, except the beautiful evergreens, and the loose leaves are covered up by the snow. Feb. 13. Rode in a sleigh to-day with Mr. Brown, the brother of Sally, mentioned under date of Nov. 3, in my Note Book. We saw two snow-birds. They were picking up grass seed, the dear things! April 1. The Brahmins from Boston dined with us to day. We had for dinner stuffed gosling, veal, and small potatoes from my own garden. After dinner I read to them extracts from my Note Book, for the Brahmins are a literary family, and they said it was a feast. They wish me to publish when I have written the first thousand chapters. I delight to study nature, and hear the innocent crickets, and record my observations. INDEX. A.
