ing novel. 1t is fresh and natural in style
and displays in passages remarkable share
of descriptive talent and forcible word
painting The plot is well conceived and
happily matured the interest of the reader
being never permitted to flag. 1t is fully
equal if not superior to other works from

"Wayside Leaves" by J. Luella Dowd,
comprises some poetry OF a graceful tender
and pathetic character, though lacking in
originality and verve. The author evil
IDENTIFY writes from the heart, freely and
freshly, without stopping to retouch or
question the entire adaptation of her out
pourings for the market. There is de-
| lghtful spontanety and simplicity about
| these verses which disarm criticism. Tney
are far from perfect, but they have the ring
of evident sincerity of feeling, and, despite
! all blemishes, will probably find apprecia-
ton in many kindred minds. Published

"Cincnnati Society Blue Book ant
Family Directory" is just issued from the
press of Mr.. Peter G. Thomson, Arcade
publisher and bookseller. 1t is after th'
style of the Boston Blue Book, but is mucl
more complete, comprehensive and con
veniently arranged than that celebrated
volume. The book contains a list of thu
society people OF the city and neighborns
towns first in alphabetical form, and thel
classified by streets, or clubs Of their mem
bers; names of all the writer's on the Gin
cinnati press theatre diagrams, points o
etiquette, etc. Mechanically the book is
most crcdtabe piece of work. and it seem
to pretty thoroughly meet the intention o
the publisher, and will be found useful, in
tercsting and ornamental. The puhlishe
suggests that the lists may be found incom
plete, as some refused the desired informa
ton, and others could not be found wher
the compiler called. Summing up, how
ever, he hopes the volume 'will be fount
valuable as a reference, useful as guide
and interesting as a social souvenir" al
of which and much more will be conceded
after an examination of the work. Every
one who examines this or any similar worl
will be able to criticise it to any exten
that inclination may prompt. The qucs
ton of why any number Of names are no
there, and why many which do appear arr
there will always arise when such a worl
is ATTEMPTED.
