 ''From Madge to Margaret, ''by Carroll Win chester, shows how young woman in whom
 selfshness, willfulness and vanity have been
 fostered by home indulgence has stern ex-
 perience in attaining those qualities which
 should distinguish wife and mother. The
 process that transforms ight-hearted Madge
 into the much disciplined Margaret is inter
 esting in details, and artistic in construction,
 Country life is picturesquely described, and
 pitfalls that lie in the way of an innocent
 young matron on her introduction to fashiona-
 bIe city life are outlined with a graphic pen.
 'sFrom Madge to Margaret will be enjoyable
 to many readers. Published by Lee Shep-
 ard and for sale in this city by H. H. Peck. Memories of. My Exile," by Louis Kos
 suth, will be eagerly read by sympathizers
 with the Hungarian patriot and his cause.
 The '.Memories'' deal principally with the
 Italian war of 1859 against Austria, in which
 the Hungarian refugees took part with the
 Italians, and were temporarily brought into
 closer connection with the then powerful
 Emperor of the French, the ally of the Ital-
 ians. But the armistice concluded between Austria and France put an end to the hopes
 of the Hungarians. Kossuth gives in his own enthusiastic words the history of this struggle, introducing also interesting episodes concerning his visits to England and Amer ica, and his personal interview with Napol- con. The work is valuable contribution to the history of Hungary, viewed from Kos suths standpoint. Published by D. Apple ton & Co.,, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 In "The Undiscovered Country" Mir. How els has worked with deeper purpose than in his other stories, though we do not think it his greatest work. 1.-The Undiscovered Country contains charming love story, but that for which it is chiefly valuable and ad- mirable is the manner in which Spiritualism and the Shakers are dealt with The ''new religion'' receives fair and very discriminating treatment, and in his portrayal of the Shak- CTS and his pictures of Shaker life the author is, if anything, still more happy. Avoiding like caricature, he not only gives 8 photograph of Shaker community, with its peculiarities of dress and speech, as 1t ap- pears to an outsider, but a study of the in- tellectual and spiritual life of these blame less people so faithful, appreciative and loving as to excite the wonder and admira- tion of those who know most about them. Published by Houghton, Miffiin < Co.,, Bos- lon, and for sale here by Judd the bookseller.
 The Spiritual Songs Series of hymn and tune books, begun by the issue of Spiritual Songs for the Church and the Choir, " and continued by Spiritual Songs for Social Worship is now completed by the publica- jon of @ volume for the Sunday school The of the Christian public has of late been earnestly directed to the frivolous char acter of many of the Sunday school songs in vogue, and the pastors generally, with thoughtful Sunday school workers, have ,raved something which should not only in crest the young, but at the same time culti- 7ate their taste in the direction of that which s higher and purer in poetry and music This book does much to meet this want.
