If all novels were such as the one now be-

folks in their perusal. This one not only in
culcates the purest morality, the noblest senti-

it entertains, the minds of its readers It is an
account of Margaret of Aujou, given in the
journal pages of one of her maids of honor,
and shows us q stormy life" indeed, but one
which at last grew calm beneath the hand of
Faith, and over which fell the sunshine of
Gods eternal peace.

ton. New York Catholic Publication Society.
This is one of the few devotional stories of
Catholic life and practice which is not tedious
or uninteresting. Written in honor of the I'M
maculate Virgin, it is redolent with her purity
and her praise, and may inspire many heart,
| which would not seek in higher books of devo-
ton, with a sincere love and desire of imita-
ton in regard to her who, as Star of the Sea,
is truly our guide across lifes waters to the
port of Heavenly rest.
The Child By Monsei9neur Dupanlonp, Bishop Of
/ Orleans. Boston: Patrick Donahoe.
No subject handled by this eloquent church
man can fail to be interesting to his readers
but when he selects that which is at once the
simplest and yet the most sublime-a child
we can readily understand how he captivates
all hearts, He calls the child " the joy of the
present and the hope of the future;" and while
he explains the duties of parents and teachers
he unfolds the great rewards which q proper
education of youth is sure to bring to those
who are in terested in them. The Bishop, how
ever, has not been as happy in his translator at
Bishop Landriot, whose work on Sins of the
Tongue" reads like an original and we regret
that the same talented hand did not prepare
the work now before us.
