These prosecutions were followed up
by PHILIP Second Of Spain who In
variably compelled all who did not ac-
cept the Catholic faith to abandon the
cities and countries captured by his
armies. The massacre of St. Bar
tholomew occasioned great rejoicing
among the Catholics everywhere.
Medals were struck off at Rome to
commemorate the destruction Of the
" heretics, and picture was painted
for it in the Vatican, which appears
as one Of the illustrations of the pres
ent volume. We suggest to all our
readers who desire to become familiar
with the facts connected with the
most horrible massacre of ancient or
modern times. to send to Messrs.
CLARKE & .Co.,ro Cincipnati, and
order a copy Of the book.

This is one of the most valuable
numbers of the Repiea0 ever pub
lished. The principal papers are on
topics of popular interest at the pres
ent time, and, from the ability dis
played, must attract the attention of
the best talent Of the bar. The pre-
sentation of the question of impeach-
ment IS characterized by great ability,
the points of law being deliberately
argued Another paper Of present
importance is the discussion of the
Iegal-tender acts. The writer argues
the necessity of an act Of Congress
legalizing special contracts for coin,
to give consistency to the laws where
they deal with the currency The
liability of common carriers, a subject
that has been discussed for years, but
which has not reached satisfactory
settlement, is also considered.

This is one of the many charming
books written for children by Miss
WARNER. 1t is about flowers and
the love of children for them, and GER
tainly no more useful and beautiful
occupation can be found for a child
than tending them with loving care.
In the preface, the author says to the
children in her own beautiful Ian
guage: " I want you all to be garden

spend for seeds, take fifty cents, and
if not that ten. Begin with one little

DIR. SMITHS SMALLER HISTORY OF

BRoTHERS. Cincinnati: Robert CLARKE
& Co.
This small volume is a little manual
of English History. intended for or
binary school use, and ranging with
the same authors smaller Histories
of Greece and Rome. The work is
really done by Mr. PHILIP SMITH,
but under the supervision of DR.
WILLIAM SMITH. It will be found
generally reliable, though it cannot
be anywhere minute, for the one
small volume goes from the earliest
days down to 1862. The table Of con
tents gives such an analysis Of the
matter, that teacher can conven-
ieutly ask questions from it. A full
index is another convenience, aud
excellent genealogical tables are
added, which would, however, inter
est the pupils of English schools
more than those of our own. The
illustrations on wood are quite nu-
meroUs, representing coins, portraits,
places and manners of historical in
terest. The authors reputation is
enough to make a book sell well,
though not possessing the merit of
this effort.

ON THE HEIGHTS-A. Novelty BAR.
THOLD AUERBACH. translated bv FANNY
ELIZABETH BUSNETT. Boston: ROBERTS
BROTHERS. ncinnati: ROBERT CLARKE
q Co.
For some time past the Muhlbach
Novels have monopolized the Amer
lean demand for European Fiction
These books have been denominated
Historical, aud by this sugar coating
have been swallowed by a great many
readers, whose literary stomaehs
nauseate at the idea of taking Fiction
pure and simple, whatever may be its
quality. A critic truthfully observes
that the Muhlbach Series are but
a small river of history, meandering
through endless swamps of sentiment
tally, only to be lost at last in any
morass Of misrepresentation, which
the romantic exigences of the plot
may seem to require" On the
Heights claims to be a novel. [ is a
foreign novel, having all the marked
peculiarities regarded as character
istic Of German thought and German
life. Its characters are individual
and piquant; its conversations sparkle
with vivacity or interest, by the value
of the ideas which they express, and
the plot is skillfully but simply de-
veloped. There is said to be in it
something Of the picturesque ele-
ment-which appeared in Miss BRE-
MER's earlier works with the same
primitive simplicity of domestic detail
and relations of peasant life among a
race where agricultural pursuits and
a free open-air existence seem to in-
duce both a thoughtful disposition
and a piquant or poetical form Of ex-
preston when the thoughts reach the
lips"
But we have neither time nor space
to mention the various choice charac-
tiers, each Of which is a study The
book has deeper value than that of
a merely entertaining fiction, and will
repay a much more attentive perusal,
than that which serves to catch the
threads by which plot may be IN
ravelled in ordinary novels. That
must be a careless mind which can at
once dismiss it from remembrance in
turning the last leaf. We trust we
may have more works from the same
pen, according to the promise of the
publishers, who have already deserved
our thanks for making US acquainted
with On the Heights

No historical event ever sent such
a thrill of horror down through the
generations of time as that from
which this book derives its title.
Although it occurred in 1872, nearly /
three hundred years ago, time has
rather than mitigated the
atrocities then committed in the name
Of religion. From the starting Of the
by LUTHER, Protestant
and Catholic waged a war of unre-
lenting cruelty for near two centuries,
with but little cessation. Our own
country is indebted to the persecu-
tons then maintained, for some of
her most illustrious citizens.
Tens and hundreds Of thou
sands of the best citizens Of
France and Germany were driven into
involuntary exile by the cruelty of
