SUN HINE AND SHADOW IN NEW
YORK. By MATTHEW HALE SMITH.
BURR Y Co. Hartford.
We have already alluded to this
book in a complimentary manner. A
glance over its contents convinces us
that itpossesses all the attractions
claimed for it by its publishers. The
author has made himself thoroughly
familiar with the genes he depicts and
with equal rsadiness and skill he
shows up the bar-rooms, the gambling
dens, the prayer meetings. and the
lecture rooms. Nor does he overlook
the celebrated concert saloons. New
York society in all its phases-from
Fifth Avenue to the lowest slums in
Water Street; from the beautiful
Belle of Broadway to the most hag-
gard street walker, on Canal or
BECKER Streets-is portrayed with a
firm yet skillful hand, and the
shadows and sunshine seem to be
pretty equally distributed. Whether
the opening out of the dark places
in New York to the youth of the
country is best calculated to promote
sobriety and virtue, is a point which
we do not now feel disposed to dis
cuss. 1t is not always best to in
troduee the pure to the impure,
for evil communications may corrupt
through the medium of an
attractive book even more quickly
than by personal contact.
