says:-"Unamiable features and character
istics often stamp the proverbs of particular
nations, and such we are shy of reproducing.
Thus the Italian makes a merit of revenge,
and his proverbs TEEN with justification of de-
ceit and guile to accomplish the qualification
of that passion. Archbishop Trench gives us
this instaDce:-'Wait time and place to take
your revenge, fer it's never we'll to be in a
hurry and it may be paralleled by handfuls
of such as these:-'He who cannot revenge
himself is weak, he who will not is cOntempti-
ble;' and who offends writes on sand, who is
offended ON marble.' Perhaps, too, in these
which follow:-'Thanll you, pretty pussy, was
the death of my cat, and He laughs well that
laughs last there turks justification OF gloz-
ing words and of 'bidiDg ones time, for the
evil purpose of comprising the most Jun
ch}istian of triumphs. In Spanish proverbs
the worst feature seems to be tendency to
sneer at wOmankind, the gallantries of his
countrymen having rendered the Spaniard
skeptical as to female worth and virtue. "A
woman and mule, he says, must be made
handsome by the mouth 1. =. with good

REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.

THE MooNsTnNE BY Wilkie Collins. New
York: Harper d Brothers. Philadelphia
Agents: j. b. bippiucott %.
Ever the most startling of novelists, dealing
entirely with the sensational, Mr.. Collins has
at last surpassed himself, and stands forth as
the author of one of the most ultra alarming
werks of the day. The plot of the work Is
the old fable that in one of the temples OF
India was a damond-the moon -stone-whieh
was guarded day and night for many hundred
years by three Brahmins. If it was removed,
these devotees were sworn to give up their
lives to the recovery Of the lost treasure.
The British army took the city in which the
deity had his temple, and an officer took
the moon-stone to England. The three
Indians follow it, and it is their
pursuit of It there that the story tells to US.
The narrative is given in the style of contri-
buttons by various parties, each telling what
he knows of the stone. 1t is consequently dis
connected. The great secret of the whole
work is who stole it 1t seems that the stone
was left by a nervous uncle to beautiful
niece, and on the first night of its being worn
by her it is stolen. The niece, who is in
love with Mr.. Franklin Blake, acts peculiarly,
is thought crazy, and insults Franklin. After
infinite trouble it comes out that Franklin in
has sleep stole the moon stone. What became
of it then ? 1t seems that in his sleep he hid
it, and it in turn was stolen from him by
cousin, who is depicted as thoroughly virtuous.
The cousin is murdered and the stone is never
more heard of until it is reported as such in
the house of the idol in the heart of India.
Blake and the beautiful niece get married, and
the 'Moonstone' is concluded amid the
jlpgling of bells. Such is the plot, and against
it we must utter an indignant protest. In the
first place it is cruelty unnatural. If the
scene had been laid in Barbary, we'll and good;
but in England it is absurd. In the second
place, it is disconnected. There is no want
of plots. 1t lis very loosely put together. In the
last place. we do not have the thread of the
story carried out so as to make a satisfactory
solution of the problem. 1t is in fact, failure
as a literary work, although it has its interest
as novel.

The success which has attended the appear

Mcpherson on the political history Of our
country has induced him to issue the present
work, which is really invaluable. 1t contains
the substance of his previous works, together
with all the proclamations and platforms for

has so arranged all the parts that any of them

with great pleasure by the reading public as
most opportune work.

The edition before us, authorized by a
writer of real merit, is probably the standard
history Of the life of General Grant. Without
detracting from the many and great advau-
tages of other works, we must give to Profess
sor Coppee great credit for industry and re-
search. The truthfulness of the military por
tion is evidenced by General Rawlings, while
the encomiums lavished on it as to the other
portions, attests its reliability. 1t is prefaced
by an excellent portrait on steel.
FARM TALK, by George E; Brackett. Lee &
Sheppard, Boston. Philadelphia Agents:
Claxton, Remsen Hefelhnger
In an allegorical and attractive form, the lit,
tie work before us endeavors to teach to the
young people of the country the great and i'm
portant truths of farming. 1t does not do so
inadry and abstruse style, but by mingling fami-
liar conversations with the instruction, teaches
without the learner having to study. By this
means, to children and the uneduoated, much
more information can be communicated than
by assuming to teach. We do not doubt but
that the work will do good, and be welcome
to many households.
RESOURCES OF CALIFORNIA. BY John s.
Hittell A. Romer d Co, Philadelphia
Agents, G. w. Pitcher.
The compilation of statistics made public by
Mr.. Hittell is useful work for Californians,
and also for all those who take an interest in
the resources of the far west. If it paints in
too glaring colors some Of the advantages Of
the Pacific coast, 1t is on the whole reliable,
and much of its information is new.
PUBLIoATIoNs OF Z. Fl. BUTLER & Co.-As
publishers Of school books of the highest order
Of merit, there is no house in the United
States which can take the palm from Messrs.
Z. FL. Butler & Co. We speak advisedly when
we say that their reputation in this specially
is second to none. In addition to very large
edition of Serial Biographies by Mitchell,
which are already in use in 10000 schools,
they are now engaged in publishing most
valuable series of Spoilers, by Joseph G. Mar
tindale. They consist of three works, the
Primary, Common School, and Complete
speller, and are peculiarly adapted to our
Public Schools. We have examined these
works, and can commend them for the sim
plicity and excellence of system and thorough
graduation from the easiest 70 the most difficult
task.
