sS s....f {. KIT KEkvrHss KERNEzS, with Hlustrationl |s The earth hath bubbles as tie water has, snt these are of them" New York, Rolle, Publish Fer, 1860. s9.
 We will not say of this book in the isual ster eotyped phraze that it is "just the book fol Railway reading for we were never able te discover any particular comfort in any book in { railway car, where we experience nothing but strained eyes, blurred page and hearty, dozy indifference to man, woman and bookish lore to anything in fact, but . newspaper, easy to di gest and hastily scanned, but we would rathel say to our masculine sympathizers in the tweed, that it is just the book for peaceful cigar, and to our feminine admirers and confdantes, just the pleasant interlude to more serious reading or bu- sy housewifery. The papers, most of them, were originally contributed to the Knickerbockes Magazine, sufficient recommendation to entice . purchase and perusal, now that they are col lected and presented in popular and inviting book form. Alternating from grave to gay, from lively to severe pathos and laughter ming led witchingly together; full of romance and overbriming with pleasantly, they afford new sensation to the story reader, tear to the phleg matic, and hearty exclamation to the morose and misanthrope. An attractive title and a still more attractive book. Price $l,OO-Smith will have it, at the County Book Store"
 SWORD AND GowN.-By the author of Grey Livingston.
 Not by any means SO bad book as many stately critics would persuade the romance-read- ing world. A deeply fascinating novel at any rate, from title to imprint, and one that will af ford pleasant hour to the reader, while the moral will take care of itself. Price $l,OO Ticknor & Fields, Publishers, Boston.
 SIR ROMANS GHosr.-A Romance, by Miss Prescott.
 There has been no book of the past season in the novel line. which has won wider fame than this and indeed none ever, in the ghost line of stories, that has created greater sensation. It is written by young lady of Newburyport, Mass an occasional contributor to the Atlantic Mont4 ly-and not only rivals, but easily distances, all that has hitherto been published in it's own fas cinating vein. Decidedly book for the ladies J. F. Munroe & Co.,, Publishers, Boston, Mass
