well-knOwn work, "As in LOOking-Glass,'

The HAUNTED FOUNTAIN and Hetty's

York. The first of these stories is Of the
French, the pivot Of the plot being fierce
jealousy, and the climax a duel, between
the rivals, at which the heroine appears just
in time to receive one Of the bullets into her
heart too. 1t is written with some ease and
merit, but not so much as is manifest in its
companion piece, "Hetty's Revenge" This
story is one Of picturesque coloring, the
characters being the dwellers upon fish
ing coast, their primitive, unconventional
loves and hates the theme.

PEsTALoZZI. HIS LIFE AND WORKS. BY
Roger de Guimps.
This is a most valuable translation from
the French, and enlightens a large class
who are ignorant of PestalOZZi, who was
one of the greatest men who eyer lived. He
was the first teacher to announce cOnyinc-
ingly the doctrine that all people should be
hence he should be dear TO every
heart. Pestalozzi, like st. Francis, welded
poverty and lived among the poor, in order
to discover the true and only method Of al
leyisting its mseries. In this work there is
much which is photographed, and a
history of the life of the hero, to-
gether with the motives and aspirations Of
his divine career. II adds a valuable book
to the great library of the reading world.

GIRLS AND WOMEN, by f. Chester.
This is one Of the few guides to the modes
of living our life that is more pleasing than
Drosaic, and more practical than ideal. It's
style of dictiOn is no small charm, and
seems to recommend the advice like a
sugar coated pill-and is as helpful in sug-
gestiOns and mild sermons on health, hap
piness, self-support, &c. Some such
medicine would be published by Houghton,
Mifiin a Co.. New York. For sale by

"IN GODS WAY" a novel, TRANSLATED
from the Norwegian, by Elizabeth Car
michael, published by John W. Lowell \
Co., New York. No yellow back book OF
the summer season has as much beneath
its deceptive binding as this volume. The
story follows the life OF young religious
fanatic, and reveals the varied good and
evil that is wrought by such characters. Its
style is pure and even in tone, and GER
tain bold independence in the treatment OF
some original situations. Ii does not scorn
the details of life, but lets the reader live
plainly and truly with an interesting class
of NOrwegians.
