THE PROBLEM, NORTH AND 500 III.
Among the vast hordes of immigrants pouring
into this country from every quarter of the civil

italy. They know no trade, but are strong, in

not so much for an equal chance rs for

cause of his race. There have been
more s'negro troubles under one

racial strife at the South TO the promo

wisdom of reserving one day in seven as
a day of rest, that most readers will find
Mr.. Clark s article in the September

from q religious standpoint, but assumes
that there is a PHYSICAL necessity in animal
nature for just such an apportionment OF
rest, and that any setting at defiance OF
this law will result disastrously.

the noble qualities of one of the grand

supreme Judge. His official life is known
to the public, but the deep tenderness OF
his nature and his high domestic virtues
were known only to his closest friends.
Those who have read Judge Marshall s

blended so happily with his sterling quail

Usher, New York. Price 90 cents.
To write story with purpose COM
mends the story to notice, and when that
purpose is steadily pursued and success
fully manifested q discerning public is
not slow to discover merit in its author.
In the introduction to Crooks and

warning the young of the dangers ahead,
and thus preparing them to stem adverse
currents, and prevent if possible the
wrecking or stranding of life barks that

Marguerite, the heroine, is a
truly womanly character and well por-

give variety to the whole. The style
is good, and expression well-chosen.
The book has been most kindly re-
ceived. Governor Hubbard, writing of
