This Seminary for colored people, was opened in the upper rooms of the African Baptist Chapel building, in December, 1856, and in a few months, over one hundred scholars, were in attendance. But from circumstances which need not be narrated, in 1857, the school was removed away, without any rent having ever been paid for the use of the rooms. A second time a school has been collected of over one hundred scholars, but, up to the present time, August, 1859, the trustees of the building have never received any sort of compensation for the use of the rooms, occupied by the Institute.
Mr. J. G. Goodridge, lately a teacher of a Public School, in York, Pa, has now rented the rooms, and his friends feel great confidence in the success of his labors.
It may be remarked, that the large colored population of Baltimore, now from thirty to forty thousand souls, have no sort of Public School provision made for them, by the city or state governments. They are left entirely to themselves for any education they may obtain.
The above named Institute combines advantages for the education of colored children far superior to any other in the city.

This is an instructive Primer, for children, combining a series of progressive spelling lessons, commencing with the alphabet, and interspersed with simple rhymes and easy sentences in prose, accompanied with many pictures. The Primer contains Dr. Watts' celebrated Cradle Hymn, the verses entitled "Mary and her Lamb," the "Busy Bee," &c. Those who wish to change from the heavy and badly printed "Spelling Books" in present use, will find this to be more attractive to the young beginner, and more likely to coax him a step forward in his first lessons.
This Volume contains the history of One Hundred Conversions, written mostly expressly for this publication, by Christian individuals in the various evangelical denominations. It is, in a word,
AN "EXPERIENCE MEETING" IN A BOOK,
AN "EXPERIENCE MEETING" IN A BOOK,
In which each person relates briefly the experience of his own heart concerning the great salvation. Among the number are about fifty ministers, some of the most able and renowned of the past and present ages. These interesting narratives show some of the causes which lead sinners to become concerned for their eternal welfare,--their resistance to the force of the Truth and the strivings of the Holy Spirit,--their subsequent struggles against their own evil dispositions, or "carnal mind,"--and their final perseverance toward the way of life, by true repentance, and an acceptance through faith in Christ, of the blessings which follow the love of God shed abroad in the soul.

This volume presents several rapid and startling pictures of the career of a man who enjoyed all the pleasures and profits of this world, and neglected to honor God. John Mortal gained the whole world, and lost his own soul. The style of the composition is partly allegorical and partly narrative. It claims no credit for literary excellence, but is published with the hope of arresting the attention of those who neglect to read works of a heavier and more solemn appearance, and impressing their minds with the worthlessness of human vanities and honors.
