The DIAMOND DICKENs.-DoMBEY
AND SoN.-The diamond edition OF
Dickens-the happy idea of Messrs,
Ticknor and Fields-has excited an
abundance OF competition. Several
other cheap editions of the greatest
of living novelists, have been CON-
menced by New York and Philadelphia
houses. But the Diamond Edition
maintainsits supremacy, both because
it was the first in the field, and be-
cause it best fulfils the purpose of a
cheap, neat and readable reprint of
Dickens works. The volumes are of
such shape that they can be put into
the pocket, taken into the cars, or
carried into the sonntry, They are
of the right size to be perused on a
summer day under a shady tree--to
be read of an afternoon on the breezy
porch of acountry-house. The illus
trations, too, are fresh and striking.
"Domby and Son" is the sixth vol
ume of this delightful edition, and is
every way equal to its predecessors.
The cost of each volume ofthe beau
tiful Illustrated Diamond Dickens is
only $1.50 plain editlon,S1.25. Every
body ought to read Dickens, and
everybodycar afford to own this cheap
and elegant edition. 1t can be pro-
cured Of any bookseller, or will be
sent postpaid by the Publishers, Tick
nor and Fields, Boston.

BOOK NOTICES.

"GooD STORIES. .7-Messrs. Ticknol
and Fields have issued the initial
number Of "Good Stories" under
which title they propose to publish
in cheap and attractive form, yalu-
able collection of Short Stories, Tales,
and Sketches. The need of such a
collection haslOng been felt; for while
numerous collections of poetry have
been made, no general repertory OF
good stories exists.
1t is not intended to limit this col
lection to English literature. 1t will
embrace, by competent translations,
the best and most characteristic short
stories of all languages.
While having in view the idea of
making this collection valuable rs a
repertory of choice fiction, the Pub
fishers have in mind the great need
ofthe travelling public for class of
reading that shall answer for amuse-
ment in the rail-car or on the steam
boat. A large volume or long story
often becomes wearisome to the tray
elsr on account ofthe disadvantages
to which he is subjected, while the
type of many volumes renders the
reading of them impossible to not a
few travellers.
In "Good Stories" all of these diff
culties are overcome. Each number
is a small quaftC,, appropriately illus
trated, and easy to the hand; the
stories are choice, and demand not
too continuous attention; the type is
large and can be easily read, and the
price, Fifty Cents per number, will
place "Good Stories" within the reach
of all.
Number 2 will be issued in August.

He fought his way through the
massive cakes of ice, tern and bleed

At last he caught the plant branch
of willow, which swept far out
over the water, and by its aid drew
himself and his burden to the shore.
Asia looked into his face with wide
open eyes, and glow Of crimson
stealing over the CHASTITY whiteness
of her coantenance.
"Have I won fairly, Asia?"
"Yes, you have wen;" she said,
averting her eyes.

will it. Are ysu mine freely2"
'And what then?" she asked soft

"Asial" their eyes met.
She flung her arms around his

81 give myself to you, oh, SO free!
Verne, did you not know that have

Mr.. Ashe returned to Boston the
next day, without calling to bid Asia
good bye.

until Mr.. Churchill asked her opin-
ion of Boston breeding.
She answered him saucily,-
l am quite satisfied with Whites

Our Lane.


When the grass springs and soft winds blow,
ma hawthorns wear the only snow;
Mhen lads and lasses stop once more
10 play about the school-hoGSe door;
And lambs are white upon the leas.
And stars on the horse-chestnut trees,
And birds begin to build again
'I1s sweet to watch them in Our Lane.
When swallows have their summer made
ana lazy sheep move with the shade;
md the dew loiters on the grass
Mhere sweet-breathed cows gaze as you pass I;
Mhen greedy trout leap by the mill,
w no would not be a lad again,
To meet his lassie in Our Lane.
When gossamer floats everywhere;
And golden apples scent the air;
And round about their ancient roots
tast pear trees shower their tiny fruits;
And red plums blush midst yellow leaves;
And summer friends have left our caves;
men oaks their leaves no longer hold,
And chestnt trees change green for gold;
And wheat is stacked and sown again
Then wondrous tints light up Our Lane.
When cheeks look brighter 'gainst the snow;
And crimson holly berries glow,
And ivy reigns, and yew trees sneer
At oak and elm now sad and drear;
When apples all are pressed or stored;
And ants sit proudly by their hoard;
When pleasant paths look dull and gray;
And old men rest upon their way.
And blaekbirds know not where to feast
And all their pleasant songs have ceased
Let them be thankful in Our Lane,
If hips and haws may yetremain.
Hearken to what wise blackbirds say:
"Our spring saw many merry day;
In summer there were strawberries;
In autumn, we'd the filbert trees;
We tasted all the year could bring,
Tomellow autumn from bright spring.
II nuts and cherries all are gone.
There's something olook back upon;
We deem not life unjust because
1t comes at last to hips and haws"

Medical Notice.

A TTENTION is respectfully called to
n the above mentioned Paint, and the
qualities upon which are based its claims to
superior advantages, established by the most
incontrovertible evidence as to fact, as al
ready fully demonstrated in this and neigh
boring cities by many of the largest Gas
Companies, Iron Establishments, Iron Safe
Manufacturers, Ship Builders, Painters, Su-
gar Refiners, Carriage Manufacturers, Build
ers, Steamboat and Railroad Companies,
Roofers, etc.
II consists of seventy-two parts Oxide Of
Iron, and twenty eight parts Cement Lime
Stone, in the one hundred pounds.
The Ore from which this Paint is manu-
featured is from vein discovered in Carbon
County, Pa which is overlaid with hydraulic
cement lime stone, through which the waters
of ages have percolated, and which in con-
nection with the Iron, gives to it the peculiar
property of withstanding heat and moisture,
which no other of the so-called metallic
paints possess.
1t has much more body than red or white
lead. 1t is warranted perfectly water and
fire proof, and to Withstand greater heat on
metals, without scaling, than any other paint
in use; hence it is unquestionably the
Best Coating euer applied on Steam
Pipes and Boilers,
Where it is prOuen that euen Red Lead Will
not stand.
1t is perfect cover for ships bottoms, of
iron or wood; and all kinds of iron, tin,
brick or wood work, out-houses and canvass
coverings. 1t tprevents and arrests the corro-
sion OF metals, and is not affected by the ac-
tion of salt, gases, acids or ammonia.
1thardens under water, as has been fully
demonstrated by its application to gas hold
ers, by many of the largest Gas companies in
the United States; which companies, have
thoroughly tested its properties as herein
claimed, pronounce in its favor over any 9TH
er paints in the market, even though sold at
double its price.
As coating for patterns of iron or wood,
when mixed with shellac, it is much superior
to beeswax, oil, or shellac alone, as has been
preven at the largest foundries in the country.
For patching boilers and making joints, 1T
is considered superior to red lead, or any 9TH
er preparation.
For cleaning metals 1t takes the placefo
crocus, rouge and emery, being better and
cheaper.
This Paint requires no more oil than dry
lead or zinc, and much less than the ordina
ry mineral paints. 1t is free from any waste,
and possesses spreading and covering pow
er uHequaled.
ALI orders or communications, by mail or
otherwise, will receive prompt attention.

A Beautiful Passage.

The following is from "Reveries
of a Bachelor" by Ike Marvel;
A poor man without some sort OF
religion is at best a poor reprobate,
the oot-balI Of destiny, with no tie
linking him to inlinity and to the
wondrous eternity that is even
wOrse--a flame without hoOt a rain
bow without color, a flower without
perfume. A man may in some sort
tie his hopes and his honors to this
weak, shifting ground tackle, to his
business, or the world, but Il woman
without that anchor called faith, is
a drift and a wreck A man may
clumsily continue a sort Of moral
responsibility out of relation to
mankind but woman in her com
paratively isolated sphere, where af-
feCtion and not purpose is the con
trolling motive, can find no basis in
any other system or right action
but that of faith. A man may craze
his brain or his thoughts to truth
fulness, and such poor harborage MS
fame and reputation may stretch be-
fore him, but woman, where can
she put her hopes in storms If not
in heaven? And that sweet trust
fulness-that abiding loye--that en-
during hope mellowing every page
and scene of life-lighting them
with pleasant radiance, when the
worlds storms break like an army
with cannon-who can bcstow its
all but a holy soul, tied to what isl
stronger than an army with cannon !?
Who has enjoyed the love of al
Christian mother but will echo the
thought with energy and hallow it
with a tear!
