BUBBLES AND BALLAST. Being a Dissertation
q Life in Paris during the brilliant days Of the
Empire; "A Tour through Belgium and Holland,
Kelly, Piet & Co.
1t is understood that the author of this pleas
ant book Of travels is Mrs. NJ. L. Z. Bouligny,
daughter of Dir. George Parker, of this city.
Mrs. Bouligny visited Europe under very agree
able auspices, and this volume is the daily jour
nal of her life there-being a description of
things seen and heard-and bears throughout
the impress of its author-of a refined, cultiva-
ted and Christian lady. 1t embraces an ex-
tended visit to Paris, when Paris was most bril-
liant under the Empire, and a tour through
other parts Of Europe. The track is somewhat
beaten, but the writer tells her story with so
much freshness and grace that we cannot but
feel an interest in her entire Journey.

HOUSEHOLD BOOK OF SONGS. For Fonr
Voices. Collected and arranged by Frances G.
Bowman and Charles Dana. New York D
The design has been in this collection to select
from the famous composers OF the world songs
combining simplicity Of structure with eleva-
ton OF character and beauty Of expression; and
the arrangement for four voices has been made
with special reference to use in the family and
social circle. 1t is rather odd, just now, to find
the name Of Mr.. Dana, who latterly has been
known latterly only as an acrid and vigorous
journalist, associated with these harmonious,
elevating and tranquilizing songs.
