sD RHY.Kc; BY L. MARIA CHILD. iano. PIP SIS. c.
Mrs. Child is one Of the few writers who never pu.
pen to paper without leaving the traces Of their own in
dividssity. Not that she aims at the renown of orr
ginsl genius by cratic flights of thought or the use

the balance and harmony Of ts powers and her ttyle

tamey follows in any beaten track, and always trust
less TO memory than to present inspiration Her literary
productions are the growth of wide and deep expert
ence Of earnest contemplation, of high integrity 10 the
pursuit of truth and Of fearers adherence to hard.

interests sotens the intellectual element 10 her
composition, and makes her favorte writer with the

of thinkers. The volume issued consists Of Sc.
lection Of miscellaneous tales and poems, which
not only worthy the reputation of the author. but
which give pleasing evidence that the freshness and
versatility Of her pen have lost nothing amid the tolls
Of her more elaborate researches.

MORMON WIVES. A NARRATIvE OF FACTS STRANGER
THAN FiGTlos BY META VICTORIA FULLER l2nO.
The social condition Of the Mormon population in
Utah is used by the writer of this volume as the mate
rial for high-wrought narrative. The Incidents

accounts from the seat of despotism and centousness
over which Brigham Young presdes in the of the
Lord Indeed it would be difficult to paint in too dark
eoors the f4natca and cruel system under which wo
man becomes than slave, and man scarcely
escape transformation into tyrant and brute. The
competition oil the work shows cOnsderaOie descriptive
talent and its perusa cannot fail to produce vivid
impression of the woes inflicted by superstition and
lawless passion.
