The best of lessons are communicated under a guise half-allegorical and half-direct, Jikely to be very attractive to the young: yht the good taste of such a-mixture of styles car ried through a whole volume, may be ques tioned. The three v,plumes above, pamed.are illustrated, handsomely bound, and for sail at the Presbyterian Book-Store “CAntms.” ’ My Days and Nights on the Battle 1, f Abook fpr boys,by «Garleton;» ; Bostftn, 1 n “°pmi f ield i‘ Q *’ or aale b y J * B. Lippincott •aat We are much mistaken if this does not prove the juvenile book, of the season. It describes most graphically the earlier scenes and strue gles of our contest with the rebellion, including the battles of-Bull Run, Fort Donelson, Shiloh and other operations in the West to thb taking of Memphis. The spirit, of fftie patriotism breathes through the volume, which is the work_ of an army correspondent of one of the Boston papers. Its luminous diagrams and explanations' Admirably adapt it to the as fascinating as any of the tales of great, exploits of former days* either of our own or other countries’histories over which they have been wont to pore.

Young readers will part from one who has toiled so conscientiously and acceptably fSr their entertainment and profit as Mr. Simonds, with regret. We trust they will study at>d imitate the simple andeamest piety exhibited in the story of his life. It will teach them quite as effectively as any of his stories what kind of a life they must live to he useful and successful here and to be happy hereafter.
