Price ~. Boston: Lee and Shepard.
Here's adventure for you. Lovers of hair
breadth escapes, startling transitions, and NOV
ing accidents by flood and field, will here find
their taste abundantly gratifed. 1t is true the
story does not strike one as particularly proba-
BILE or true to lfe but as the characters it deals
with are chiefly Australian bush-rangers, mi
ners, ticket-ofleave men and escaped convicts,
persenages with whom our acquaintance has
been necessarily limited, we shall not attempt
to dispute the accuracy of either the incidents
or the portraitures here given. The hero is
dashing Yankee who passes through all sorts
of dangers and adventures, always coming off
with flying colors, falls. in love with bar-maid
who turns into nobleman's daughter and
crowns his felicity in the last chapter inthe APP
proved style of romances. The book is lively
reading for all who like the extreme of the sem
sation school, and as that number is large it
will doubtless find a ready sale.

Patriotic and Truthful.

We clip the following from the st. John
Globe, a journal that always breathes the spir-
it of Liberty and has no sympathy with seces-
sionists or traitors. We can't say as much of
some other papers printed in British North
America, especially the Montreal Telegraph
and the Toronto Leader, two journals whose
columns TEEN with abuse of the North and
slobber over marauders, cut threats and muir
derers even at the risk of stirring up two ma
lions to war against each other which are now
at peace. We have no patience with such
journals. But there is one consolation-they
do not reflect the opinions of the masses Of
Queen Victoria's subjects, and so they can't
do much harm, or set any of the Canada riv-
ers on fire:
As time rolls on and the feelings, passions
and prejudices of our time pass into oblivion
NEw YEARS DAY will become more honor
ed yearly, by the lovers of human liberty, be.
cause it was on that day Mr.. Lincoln issued
his proclamation freeing the most of those
persons held in slavery in the United States.
The event itself is a striking one in the his
tory of cur times; both on its own sccount;
on account Of the extraordinary circumstan-
ces that led to it; and, because, like many
other great events, 1t failed to impress the
majority Of people with its importance and
grandeur. When, however, the struggle now
going on In the neighboring nation shall have
terminated, and the petty feelings of the hour
subsidized, the world will look back to this
event as it does to many others, which at the
time of their occurrence awaked doubt or
gave rise to great discussion. We will recog-
nize it as one of the final results of the great
struggle for the establishment OF the princi
pie of human liberty on this continent, al
though, declared at the time by Mr.. Lincoln,
to be but an act of Justice" on which he in
voked the considerable judgment of man
kind and the favor of Almighty God.
