POETRY OF FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE. BY
Phoebe Carey, Hurd & HoughJon. Pniladel-
phia Agent: Dufield Ashmead
MANY of the poems laid before the reader in
the pretty volume just issued by Miss Carey
will give general satisfaction. They none Of
them attempt to rise above the beautiful sim
plicity of the most unaffected narrative; and
by contenting herself with field which is
eminently lady's, the authoress has given
us some really charming little verses. Many
of them contain depth of feeling which is
touching, and all of them have that pleasing
rhythm which proves well-practised pen.
Some of her devotional poems have acquired a
wide popularity. Foremost among them all is
that well-bnown hymn commencing "0ne
sweetly solemn thought comes to me Ger and
o'er." The work is published in that elegant
style for which Messrs. Hurd & Houghton
have acquired so wide a fame, and is of a class
to merit very general perusal.

ton. Philadelphia Agents: I. B. Peterson &
Brothers.
If an immense number of pictures, with
printing in large type on thick paper, could
secure popularity for work, "Woman's
Strategy" would rival Sir Walters happiest
| productions. But we fear that something more
| is required, and that it does not possess. The
story is a sensational one of social life, anG
although not bad in its plot, possesses so many
crudities as to mar all enthusiasm. 1t is o
the stereotyped style of fiction.
