YEARS AGO, by J. R. Orion. j. c. Derby.
Although this betrays evidences OF imitation Of
the style and mode of treatment adopted by Cooper
in his novels it is not the less entitled to the praise
ofbeing an exceedingly happy and faithful picture
Of the times which it treats. The writer has imagi-
nation. is thoroughly permeated with the spirit Of
old colonial society, and is gifted with descrip

have given us more pleasure.
Our COUSIN VERONICA; OR, SCENES AND ADvES-
TUREs OVER THE BLUE RIDGE, by Mary Elizabeth
Wormeley.
This is really charming book. The authoress is
evidently woman Of keen psrceptive powers, has
read much and reflected upon what she has read.
1t is impossible to take up this book without being
struck by the strong good sense and force Of thought
which it displays.

A singular book, not very definite in its object
nor particularly clear in its style. Of all the works

the cloudiest.

PERIODICALS.
HARPER's is a good number, the chief attraction
being the second number Of Little Dorrit," in
which we introduced r. the old Marshalsea, aud
its occupants. Little Dorrt promises thus far to
be equal to the best OF Dickens works; it reminds
one more of Bleak House, and David Copper.
field" than his last novel or his earlier ones, and
will assuredly be favorite in many household.
The leading article in the number is Life Of
Washington" by Mr.. Abbott; badly written, badly
conceived, badly put together. 1t is happily fol-
lowed by an instructive paper on Central America,
with excellent illustrations tale OF marvellous
power called Sentiment and Action" will be read
straight through by every one who begins it. The
other papers" BirchknoHf = Fur Hunting in Ore
gon," &c.-are interesting. The Editors Easy
Chair and Drawer excellent as usual, and the
number winds up with the usual caricatures.
PUrSAM's for February is capital number. The
opening article, :" Washington at Boston," gives us
an interesting chapter Of the "reminiscences Of an
octogenarian lady, tiI living, who in that city
when the hero paid his last visit to it. 1t furnishes
some pleasant gossippng details the fashions OF
the period, which would have found an appropriate
place in Mr.. Grswold's Republican Court" "Owl
Copse' is continued in the present number. 1t In
creases in interest as it proceeds, and is really
charming little tale. High Life at the North
Pole is another of those delightful episodes of ma
tural history for which we are indebted to the pen
of Professor Schele de We're, the charm Of whose
style Lends to scientific exposition all the attraction
of romance. The Philosophy of Pruning" has
more of pedantry than amusement in it. The sub
morous treatment. The Editorial notes and reviews,
az, usual betray great care and impartiality.
