PLAIN THOUGHTS ON THE ART OF LIVING
designed for Young Men and Women. By
Washington GLADDEN.. Boston, Ticknor &
Fields.
The essays which comprise this volume are
upon the following subjects - The Messen-
ger without a Message y" " Work for Wo-
men -; g Dress y; % Manners -; "Conver-
sation'' g Habits -; g Health and Physical
Culture -; l." Mind Culture g Success y;
g Stealing as a Fine Art -; g Companion
ship and Society; g Amusement =; Re
spectabiIity and Self-Respect -; " Mar
riage'' IS The conclusion of the whole mat
ter These are treated in familiar, inter
esting, sensible way, and contain very much
that is entertaining, and might be profitable
to the young, while older ones may not con-
slider their time wholly wasted, should they
read them. They originally appeared in the
Springfield Republican, and that in itself is
sufficient to give them good name for we
do not find that paper often lending its col
umns to, or boring its readers with, unworthy
matter. Mr.. Gladden's style is similar to
that of Mr.. Holland who first came before
the public in the same Journal.

" Our Mutual FRIEND" The Charles
Dickens edition. This is one of the last
numbers of what we must declare the finest
edition of Dickens works, published by lick
nor Fields. We like the size and shape of
the book. The illustrations are fine, md
what gives it superiority, in our opinion, are
the headings of each page, made by the ,u-
thor's own hand. This makes it the simplest
matter in the world to turn to any part of
the work for reference, and one viii not be
long in finding what he seeks. those buv-
ing . Dickens " are advised carefully TO
examine this edition. Published by Ticknor
& Fields, Boston, and for sale at g. ".
