AT SEA AND ASHORE.

Adventures at Sea By f. II. Converse.
John r. Coryall Rear-AdmiraI I. II.
Stevens Maria Louise Pool and others.
Illustrated, Published by Harper q;
Brothers, New York.
These are al sensational stories OF
the sea, including whale hunts wrecks,
fires, storms, casuaways, and gallant res
cues. Most of the stories arc said to
be founded on facts, and the author
justly says, Nothing moro dramatic
than the realities Of the sea is posi-
tion may lend its aid in the telling OF
the tale The peculiar applicability
of such stories TO American boys is
that ours is a seafaring race by in
heritance, by practice, and by the vast
sea coast lino of the United States,
therefore the Americans come naturally
to the use of the sea. The stories of the
whale fishers of Gloucester aud New
Bedford have added many stirring tales
to the history of our country at sea,
and the accidents at sea and along the
coast have been n fertile source Of
perilous tales. The stories in this
book comprise, =" A School of Sharks
{" Messboy, Captain, and Mate" "Our
Ninc.Pounder," How Perry's Kite
Saved a Grew "The Luck of the

This Is the story OF Kythe West and
Wllmot Cunlilfe, and the Supreme Test
is the ability of Cunliffe TO give Kythe
up at the demand of propriety, and to
the burning out of his inclinations, as
we'll rs hers. 1t is a story of British
folk, but with the same old human ma
ture that is manifest everywhere
throughout kythe is charming young
woman who goes to visit in the fam
lily of very respectable, responsible,
stralght-laced pillar of the church She
sets herself to throwing some sunshine
into his repressed nature. and he en-
pands magically under the teaching
OF her womanly grace and beauty, and
in a way that utterly changes his views
OF the relations of life. At first he has
sort OF suspicion that he is being
tempted by the devil, but he gets over
this later on and enjoys his new sensa-
tlons, very much as red -hlooded men do
throughout the world. The hide. bound
traditions of his over.Zealous training
are entirely broken down by the flood
OF repressed humanity which pours over
and ,invigorates him, and he takes to
the broader view of life with his eX-
quisite visitor and enjoys with her the
freer and more vital views that she
offers 10 him. He becomes a wonder TO
himself, yet his soul is racked and torn
by the new experience. he being unable
to enjoy 1t without self torture over the
rules of conscience that are breaking
down. At the last, however, there is
strength enough IN both of them for

story told with great power, and the
lesson inculcated is the old one, that
