 'tManuela Paredes'' is published by Rob-
 erts Brothers, Boston, in their 'No Name" series. The scene of the story is chiefly in Switzerland and France, and it's incidents are made possible by the chance meeting of the principal personages in their travels. The corner stone of the tale is woman's deser- tion of husband, whose conduct to her is beyond reproach, yet because she does not love him she leaves him to become the un- lawful but true and faithful companion for many years of man who is also entirely faithful to her. The author, acknowledging the many complications which arise from these revelations, certainly does not condemn either the man or woman who have thus chosen to defy the laws of God and man; yet the characters concerned are most pure and lovely, the uncomfortable situations most delicately handled, and the problem of how to treat the various circumstances which have arisen and come to light is managed with much adroitness. For sale in this city by H. H. Peck.

Dr. Beard is 6 professional neurolo- l gist, but he avoids the dry method of the se- l were naturalist, and prefers to write with 1 much imagination, spirit and French vivaei- l ty. He describes nervousness as deficient 1 nerve-force, which may lead to nervous ex- 1 haustion. He then indicates the signs of ! nervousness and it's causes, and in conclusion l discusses the relations of nervousness to lon l gevity, to happiness, and to the future gsner- ation. Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
