body is unconscious. 1t works without effort
and its impulses are intutively right without
especial attention being directed to the mental
or muscular combination of which they are the
result. eight Cousins is the story of a lit
tie girl who, left an orphan, was committed to
the care of six aunts and an uncle. The aunts
have each her own well-defned ideas upon the
subject of bringing up children, and Rose is
for awhile tossed like a shuttlecock between
the mistaken petting, the gloomy apprehen-
sions, the austere rules, and the fashionable
follies Of these good ladies' until Uncle Alec,
who is an extremely sensible man, though at
times little oppressive in his beaming benev-
olence, takes the child into his care and brings
her up to be little model maiden, not prim,
precise lay figure, but a model for one who
would paint bright, sweet, modest girl, with
full use of hands and feet as well as head and
heart The "clan" of cousinsl will approve
itself to connoisseurs in boys; and Roses re-
lations with them and influence over them are
very freshly and we'll depicted. A good word
is spoken against the too sen sational literature
which is the prevalent sort for boys; "dress
reform" is treated very sensbly and without
any impractical advocacy of costumes which
are ungraceful and consequently unfit. 1t is
but fair to say that the evident purpose of the
book is to lead girls to dress sensibly, work with
al will, and play with vigor-in short to be
genuine girls that will become later, genuine
women. But this moral is the thread upol
which are strung so many bright scenes that
it need not alarm the healthiest distaste to
sugared sermonettes. Miss Ledyard furnishes
most of the illustrations, some of which, no
ticeaby 'Jamie and his Dolly" are good. Her
frontispiece is careless, scratehy, and in the
the manner of a caricature. Miss Ledyard
has proved herself capable of such dainty,
spirited pictures of childhood, that lapse into
pOOr work is inexcusabe

Recent Novels.

The newest novel, In paper covers, from
james r. Osgood & Co., Boston-is "Buffets,"
by Charles H. Doe, originally published as o
serial in the Boston Courier.
The outline of the story is that in New York
city, just before and during our civil war,
family of people-very good natured agreeable
people too-who have wealth and are accus-
toned to the luxuries and elegancies of life,
are suddenly doomed "to suffer the slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune to an extent
which does not place them in poverty by any
means, but still obliges them to change essen
TALLY their mode of living. The only son,
young fellow who has hitherto led life of idle
ness and spent his time and money very freely
upon cigars, billiards and club-dinners, finds
himself forced, at the death of his indulgent
father, to begin at the bottom and work his way
up in the world.
This serves as we'll as anything for narrative,
since the charm Of the book is in the accident
ais as it were, in the sketchings of outside facts
and fancies. The story is the stem, but it is
the little buds and blossoms Of sketch and sug-
gestion all along that have color and fragrance,
The description of the club dinner and the
after homeward sauaterings of the young men;
the picture of Mrs. Vincents boarding house
table; the graphic account of Miss Pulls we'd
ding; the way in which Royingstone's char.
acter is drawn by half dozen strokes of the
pen, all this and much more, the same in effect,
shows that the author has his share Of real wit
and humor and understands men and women
well. The style of writing is careful aud cor
rect, yet not lacking in ease and grace. The
book is such that if it were to be Rad aloud to
party of people, its pages would be found full
of suggestions-there would be frequent in-
terchange of smiles, now and then a hearty
laugh or Interruptions for the purpose of
little mutual chatter on some point or other.
The listeners would feel they were learning to
know the characters, were mingling with these
wide-awake attractive personages.
"Buffets'' is brim full of fun, only:perhaps
too bright to last for the latter portion loses
in force and in fact becomes as little animated
study as face where all expression has died
out. There is as great a difference in the
favor Of the first and last parts of the novel as
in the sunny and shady sides of a peach;
whereas a story and peach should be of equal
good taste Throughout.

A Utah correspondent of the Sacramento
(Cal.) Record exposes some of the imperfec-
tons of Mormon voting which are ludcrous as
we'll as reprehensibe. The father of Mormon
family appears to be an important member in
the body polite, as the wli.er speaks of one
who last year 'voted the ballots Of his three
wives and six children, and for two then un-
born" Mr.. John Lee of Mountain Meadow
notoriety, is reported opsthe occasion to have
"cast three hundred and fifty votes, standing
at the polls more than an hour to do it. He
voted for all his wives, his sixty-four children,
mis- one hundred grandchildren aud all his
known and possible relations" Many of the
Mormons have been excommgpicated for voting
the Gazette ticket. The correspondent adds:
Every ticket is numbered, and the voter s
name bears the same number, which effectually
reveals just how he votes. When the polls
close the ballots are not counted by the in
spectors OF elections, but are sent sealed to the
probate judge, who, with the county clerk
counts them at his leisure, and in some weeks
announces the result"

THE new legislature of Spain will consist
of Cortes and Senate. The Cortes, consist
ing of three hundred members, is to be elec-
ted on the basis of one member for every
$4,000 inhabitants. The Senate is as large,
and consists of three equal classes, one hered-
ilary, one chosen by corporate bodies, and
one named by the King. The power of disso-
luton is with the crown, and either King or
Cortes may at pleasure abolish the constitu-
tional guarantees.

Tilden or Pendleton?

ANOTHER characteristic utterance by Car
lyle is reported. The Chelsea Sage scornful-

and would be very glad to take their part of
work and care if they only knew how to begin.
1t is true that Miss Alcott's vivacity partakes
of the element of ''prance;"- that her later
writings are not equal in literary merit to her
charming "Little Women'-but this want of
artistic finish is partly owing to the fact that as
she is more and more impressed with the sense
of her mission. and her stories are written
with the purpose of illustrating some especial
point, the limitations thus imposed are not
favorable to the graceful development of
the story itself. But to her credit be it
said, she wholly refrans from sermonizing
upon miscellaneous texts, and recognizes
the great conservative principle OF letting
nature take her own way, and not analyzlng
thought and emotion to see if their hidden
springs are in repair or if the delicate ma
chinery needs drop of oil. Such introverted,
farciful studies Of grl-life as very many of
our thoughtful writers for young people con-
scientously offer, are most unfortunate mis-
