NEW PUBLICATIONS.

80! Little Town of Bethlehem" is new
composition, words and music by Abbie
Gerrish- Genung of Sacramento, the ac-
| complished author of psalm of Li1e,"
s'Three Pictures on Calvary" and other
music. Mrs. Genung has sent to press
| some very superior compositions, aud
this Is among the number. We notice
augmenting capacity in this composer
and steadily increasing fine taste. The
sheet music before US is dedicated to the
authors brother, Edward l.. Gerrish. 1t
| is written for piano or organ and voice on
four pages, with handsomely litho-
graphed title page, and is published by
| Hammers Music Store, Chlckerlng Hall,
Sacramento. 1t is an odd coincidence
| that in 1890 there appeared piece OF mu-
sic under the title, 'Oh! Little Town of
| Bethlehem" words by Phil Brooks and
music by John Laird. Mrs. Genung's
| composition bears no resem blance in
words or music to the earlier publication.
and is notably the better piece. 1t is cer-
tain that she was unaware Of the prior
use of the title in song.

In 1.-THE Vagaries of Child-Life." which
appears in Home and Country" New
York. for May, some idea can be had of
the progress of the art of illustration.
The subject itself is a happy one-indeed,
childhood is the only really happy period
in our iives-but treated as it is by it's au-
thor, Emil Meyne, heightened and made
pleasing to the sense of sight, though not
improved even by illustration, the ar
ticle furnishes study for people of all
ages, especially mothers, which appeals
to all that is good in our natures. Home
and Country" is a magazine of merit.
We mention but one among many pleas
ing features of the May number. Joseph
