abate human passion. Mr.. Gushing has

TURNING POINTS IN LIFE, by the Rev. Fred
erick Arnold. New York: Harper s. Brothers.

hearers among all classes Of English speak

the smallest portion of his traditional and
clerical conservatism, yet manages to deal

of modern scientific research so well ap-
piled, that one almost forgets the parson in
the SdUdnt, when he comes to treat of life
as presented to all of us in our nineteenth
century days. Mr.. Arnold explains very
well his intention, and sets forth the mo-
tive and scope of his work, in an open
ing chapter devoted to 'Iutroductory
Thoughts" For sale by W. I. Berry & Co.
THE COMING RACE, by Lord Lytton. New
York: Harper Brothers.
1t is little curious that Lord Lytton
should plant The "coming race" who are to
govern the world n the future, in the
United States. The first sentences in the
first chapter are in these words: 81 am q
native of -, in the United States of
America. Ny ancestors migrated from
England in the reign of Charles Ii; and my
grandfather was not undistinguished in the
War of Independence" What the COM
ing man, the coming woman, aud their
children the "coming race" will do, it is
easy to vaticinate; and Bulwer has as good
right to indulge his fancy and pen in that
way, as any one. For sale by W. 7. Berry
