LITERATURE.
REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

THE SHENANDOAH; OR, THE LAST CoNFEDE.
RATE CRUISER. BY Cornelius E. Hunt. New
York: Carleton. Philadelphia Agent: Duflield
Ashmead.
We doubt if Southern soldiers and South
ern sailors will ever cease to write stupid
books detailing their adventures. The one
before us is more than ordinarily dull. 1t has
nothing to enliven it. The Shenandoah burned
score of whalers, and that was all she did
She never had a fight. Her captain appears,
by the making out of Mr.. Hunt, to be little
better than thief, and Mr.. Hunt himself
seems to be good deal of a coward. The
work has no redeeming quality, and can be of
no possible interest to any but the crew of the
pirate herself. 1t is printed in large type, and
has wood-cut of the Shenandoah as frOntis
piece.

t"THE Rich HUSBAND. Mrs. J. II. Riddell's
new novel, to be published on Saturday next
by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, is by the author
of George Geith," which alone will secure
for it a wide circle of readers. 1t has an in
trinsic excellence, the narrative being we'll
sustained throughout, clear, concise, glowing,
and ladylike, while the dialogue shows great
skill in perception and arrangement. A we'll
known reviewer says:-"The writings of this
lady bear the impress of genius, consecrated
to the noblest purposes. They may be put
into the hands of all classes without the least
hesitation; and no better service could be rem
dered to the age than to inspire it with love
of these productions. We recommend this
book to our readers, and especially to our
female readers"

MEMOIRS or A PARLSL4N BEAUTY.
THE succession of changes in national affairs
which can and do occur during the life of one
individual, is vividly called to mind by the
publication of the Memoirs of Madame Re
camier." The utter instability of thrones,
and the greater permanence sometimes granted
to human being than to a dynasty of
kings, is well illustrated by the fact that while
seven governments were erected in France,
each successfully came to an end while

THE CHRISTIAN HYMNAL Hymns with Tunes
for the Services of the Church. Compiled and
edited by Rev, Frank Sewall.
This is the title of a new and attractive
volume published by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
We consider it as marking an era in the
choir-book literature of this country.
In the first place, almost every hymn in the
collection is welded to its own tune-a great
and decisive improvement. We never think
for a moment to divorce the tunes of our every
day songs from the words for which they have
been composed. We see a propriety in every
patriotic song, every love song, yea, every
child's song having its own definite tune-we
admit that they belong together, and would
deem it preposterous to separate them. Who,
for instance, could sing Home, Sweet Home, "
or the "Last Rose of summer to any other
tunes than those composed for them in the
first place, and to which they have always
been sung But while our sense of the musi-
cal adaptation of words and tunes is so keen
in our secular songs, we never hesitate to tear
asunder any church tunes and church hymns
the law that the music expresses the same
sentiments as the words for which it has been
| composed, does not seem to extend in our
| eyes to sacred tunes and sacred hymns Now,
| if this law is true in the one case, it must be
| true i'll the other; and we do not see any
reason why each church hymn should not
! have its own individual tune, expressing in
music what the hymn expresses in words.
We welcome, therefore, the "Christian
Hymnal" as a move in the right direction,
and we hope that the reconciliation there
effected, of good church tunes with appro-
pirate hymns, will be respected by the leaders
of choirs, and that the example there set will
be followed by the compilers of our future
| choir-b books.

''New America" by William Hepworth
Dixon, has been greeted with marked success.
1t is book which is specially adapted to our
citizens, inasmuch as it graphically describes
life among the Mormons, and travels through
all sections of our country. We made, some
time ago. extracts illustrating the elegant and
attractive style in which the work is written.
So great has been the success Of this book, that,
Notwithstanding the comparatively short time
it has been before the public, third edition
is called for in England, and the very hand
some American edition, from the well-known
publishing house of J. B. Lippincott & Co., is
taken up rapidly. The work is well suited to
please and profit, as it gives interesting de-
lineations, happy "reminiscences, and statistics,
which makes it, on the whole, desirable
book.
