Book Reviews.

STRAwBRIDaE & CLoTHIER's QUARTEREY
for Autumn, 1884, has just been received
from the publishers. Its gaily printed cover
is becoming familiar indication that new
season is upon us. The subject selected for
frontispiece for this number will appeal to
the majority of its subscribers, being "The
First Born" To those who already receive
this magazine, it will be superiluous TO say
that the earlier part is made-up of instruc-
tive and interesting articles, well illustrated;
that being the characteristic feature of this
excellent publication; no light or frivolous
matter of any kind is admitted to its col
Nmns Turning oyer the leaves we notice
that the variety of subjects in which ladies
delight, is set before them in the usual
attractive manner. To keep the Eimble
fingers busy, as the evenings are growing
longer, there are articles on Decorated
Towels, ""Embroidere Cushions, ""Knitted
Lambrequins and Counterpanes, "Folding
Screens sold English Embroidery"
GLOW to Applique, ""Home Art Novelties,
and several other equally fascinating topics.
The quarterly review of fashions is supple

many ladies need To learn, and ''Some

sible and practical scheme is given for what
is indeed 'NIodel Kitchen" and if we
were building, we would be more than
tempted to take the advice. The crazy-work
fever that docs not yet ahate, is ipd with an
article on "Quilts." We notice in passing
that "Spatter-work' is described aud illus
trated. Mothers are advised how tn make
clothing for their children arid outfits for
those who have BECOME schoolgirls The
ARTICLE on 'IIow to Paint Miniature" may
lead to good results in branch of amateur
work that is not over-crowded. We notice
that "John's Wife, has varied her subjects,
though not her style we are glad to say; and
we will leave the reader to find ont the
departure. The kitchen page is still ably
conducted by The Caterer. Then come the

EVENING REST. By J. L. Pratt. Young
Folks Library. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co.
Price % cts. A simple, quiet story, whose
character is adequately expressed by the
title. Evening Rest is the name given to a
little hamlet in the Blue Ridge region of
Pennsylvania, remarkable for the beauty of
its surroundings and the lovely character of
It's people. Thither goes young man from
the East to visit an uncle whom he has
never before seen, and his experiences during
the stay make up the contents of the book.
One incident of the story is strongly dram
attic in character. A family party, tne of
the members being the young man referred
to,visit coal mine. While passing through
one of the narrow passages, the guide fires
pistol to show the effects of the echo. The
conclusion of the air starts loose part of
the roof overhead and a portion falls in.
The little company is shut up in the earth
with little chance of ever seeing the light
again. They have lights, however, and
stumble across some tools, and by dint of
many hours hard labor they are at length
able to communicate with their friends out
side who are at last able to rescue them.
The author, through the story, dwclls much
upon the sweet and tender influences of
home. In EDening Rest he creates an ideal
household and community, and strives to
show how much they have to do with the
formation of character.

The Alhambra.

On a hill in the city of Granada, q prin-
eipal town in the Spanish province of An
dalusia, stands an extensive fortress known
as the Alhambra, or "The Red Castle" 1t j.
the old citadel of the town, and was built
by the Moors when they were the masters
of Spain. Designed for warlike and de-
fensive purposes only, it has no pretension
to architectural grandeur or effect. Its
walls, which average thirty feet In height
and six feet in thickness, are irregular in
form, and composed chiefly of loose stones
;emented together, and faced with plas-
ter coat. The area enclosed by this fortress
Is very extensive. 1t is like town in it
self, having its streets, its church, and con-
vent; and is said in its palmy days to have
afforded accommodation to garrison of 40,
900 men.
Plain and rugged as is this structure in
external appearance, it is the casket which
holds one of the richest gems of the arcEi-
lecture of any age or time. Within its
walls are enclosed the remains of the Moor
ish palace to which the name Of "the Al
hambra" is generally applied, although it
belong properly to the fortress ITSELF This
palace was built in the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, and all the beauty
and ingenuity of Arabic art were lavished
upon its construction. Upon the expul.
sion of the Moors from Spain, it OCCASION
ally became the residence of the Christian
sovereigns, and Charles V. designed to
place by its side another palace, which
EhOuld eclipse the glOries of the art of the
infdel Moor. But this building, though it
was commenced, and some very fine por-
tions of it are still in existence, was never
completed. Its fragments were suffered to
decay when Granada grew in disfavor as
residence with the Spanish mOnarchs, and,
when compared with the remains of the
Moorish palace, they now show to great
disadvantage; the contrast between the
two styles of art and the nature of the
workmanship in each is greatly in favor
of the Moors. "The walls of the Christian
ediice," says one writer, "are defaeed, the
paintings faded, the woodwork is decayed,
and festoons Of cobwebs are seen hanging |
from the ceiling. In the works of the |
Arabs, IN the contrary, the walls remained |
unaltered, except by the injuries inflicted |
by the hand of man. The color of the |
paintings, in which there is no mixture of |
oil, on removing the particles of dust, ap- |
pear to have preserved their brightness. |
The beams and woodwork of the ceilings |
present no signs of decay; no spiders, flies,
or other insects are to be seen there. The |
art of rendering timber and paints durable,
and of making porcelain mosaics, arabes-
ques, and other ornaments began and end
ed in Western Europe with the Moorish
eonquerors of Spain"
