Ell Fureidis is one of the most pleasing hctlons
we have read recently. 1t is an oriental taie.-
The meaning of the title is The Paradise FL
Fureids, the scene of the story, is village III
SYRIA. The hero, Meredith, is an Englishman.
He1trayels; sojourns some months in FL Furei-
d;s. sees there and loves the beautiful Hayilab,
the heroine. The ''course" of their love-that
does not run smooth Of course-is the theme OF
the hook. It is well told, and winds up happily.
There is an atmosphere Of the east about it,
Odors of the orient perfume it. The poetry OF
that land of flowers, embalmed in thousand
holy memories, hallows it. The style is rich IN
the rhetoric of Hafz,-
"Orent pearls at random strung
make it kind of Lalla Rookh without the
rhyme, but with four times the soul. Damascus
is visited The Arab lords Of the desert enter
tain US few days. The pride, the treachery'
the love; the dark guilt and vengeance OF that
wild, free race, come opportunely into our story.

Book-buying
Many of our readers have experienced difficult
ty, We have no donbt, in getting books. Many
books are out of print; many too rare to find
their way to M markets many, published in
Germany or France or England, are never i'm
ported ex,ept to order Readers are often ex-
tremey desirous of getting some such book, but
know no way to do so. In such cases what is
wanted is q trust: worthy and efficient importing
agent in some large cty-one who understands
his business thoroughly, isprompt and honest.
We know such one--one who has direct CORES
pondence and communication with London, Paris,
and Leipsic; who will get any book published
or sold in any of those cities, by the quickest
steamers and at the fairest prices; and will for
ward the same by Adams Express or any other
: Books published in America furnished with cor
responding promptness. We know such firm;
aud we recommend it to our friends as q favor
E to them We do so without dimes profit to
as; and in the hope Of enabling some friend to
enjoy an advantage that, from experience, we
highly prize. The firm to which We refer is in
New York. It is B. Westermann & Co., 44O
BroadDay. -}
We have dealt with several other book-import-
ers, but were never elsewhere half as well pleas
ed. We always find their prices perfectly fair,
and that is Of nc little importance. But their
attention to details of instruction p orders is an
admirable feature in their management. They
leave no effort unmade to get for you exactly
what you want. Such, at least, is our expert
ence; and we have received through them books
in various languages, published in America,
, England, Scotland, France, and Germany.
