Recent Publications.

Harper s. Brothers, New York, have issued,
in handsome octave of 800 pages, The Massd-
ere of So Bartholomew, preceded By History of
the Religious Vars in the Reign of Charles TX,
by Henry White, Tine author has aimed to
describe that long struggle OF opposing beliefs
which devastated France in the latter half of
the sixteenth century, and which finally cul-
minated in the tragedy of st. Bartholomew.
That the reader may thoroughly know the pa-
ture of this struggle, and form just estimate
of its causes, he takes us back to the time of
Francis L., and shows the influences and the
fiery trials which, through the reign of that
monarch aud his two immediate successors,
were shaping and moulding the Huguenot
character. Mr.. White has had access to many
important records and documents not hitherto
embodied in any narrative, and has made lib
eral and discriminating use of his materials.
His style is pleasing, and there is much clear
ness and method in the arrangement of his
work. The book is altogether the most com
plete and perfect record of the important and
interesting events to which it refers which has
yet appeared. 1t was issued in England with
in the past year, and received there with much
favor. The Messrs, Harper are entitled to
credit for their promptness in presenting to
American readers so valuable an addition to
| our sources of historical knowledge. IRE
ceived by II. L. Davis.
Another valuable book published by the
Hapers, is the History of the Thirty-nirtA
| Congress, which the author William III
Barnes, Justly regards as a sequel to the His
tory of the Rebellion. 1t embraces a sketch ol
all the important debates, with characteristic
extracts from the speeches of members; nrlel
biographical sketches OF the members them-
| selves: nictures of the Senate and House; a
history of the struggles over the various bills
! and n statement of the different party posi-
t;ons and aims The author is an ardent par
t;son of Congress, but has written in a spirit
of oandor and with an evident desire to pre-
con, tbe truth oil history. The book is a thick
octave, handsomely printed and bound, and
embellished with eighteen Portraits engraved
on steel, of leading members of the House
and Senate, most of which are extremely
good. (Received by Hall l.. Davis.)
From the Harpers we have also Smaller
Hstoryof England from The Earliest Times e

Now is the time to transplant tire and it
is strange that this work has been o much
neglected in the count as well sin the
cities. In years past the people o. Portland
did well, and but for the good example set
by our first settlers, Portland would never
have been called the "Forest City" How
pleasant it would be if our farmers could
nave the privilege of extracting the delicious
juice from the sugar maple this spring, and
.ney might have had that privilege, if they
nad set out years ago those valuable trees
irue' some farmers have had the foresight to
save maple orchards and are now reaping ben
eht ifom them, while others have given no
thought to the subject and are now compeIl-
ed to buy maple syrup or sugar, or to do
without The luxury. A maple orchard is a
fine addition to farm, and ALWAYS increases
its value. in case the owner is disposed to
sell it, and surely if he intends to pass his
life upon it, maple orchard will always af-
ford him not only luxury but also profit
And what is more ornamental to a farm than
a thrifty maple grove? Then why not en-
gage in this work of transplanting those
trees at once, and not wait for the next gen.
GRAFTON TO do IL? And what charms can be
added to the country by setting ou' naples
and elms by the road side? We know OF
nothing more beautiful to the travellers than
roads thus adorned The work is by no
means expensive, and easily accomplished
Let every farmer then ornament the
roadside in this way, and his child
rem will bless his name. We know
that all will acknowledge that trees
thus transplanted will add much beauty
to the landscape, and yet no one is quite
ready to begin the work. All put it off
from year to year and often regret that they
had not done it years ago. We have often
heard farmers say they were sorry they did
not set out trees when they first came into
possession of their farms, and so they keep
along and every time the subject is talked
over they are frank to confess their neglect
and perhaps promise themselves that next
season they will transplant some trees; but
when next season comes, they don't find time
and again and again the work is neglected.
We hope the good work will be commenced
this spring in earnest. There is no time to
be lost. Trees do not grow like mushrooms
in night. Set out large trees and thereby
save several years growth: for they are more
likely to live than very small ones, if proper
care is taken in the transplanting.
