HAPPY DAYS AT FERN BANK, by Emma Mar lu 11 one of the most delightful of stories for little girls. It teaches the evils of pride, even in little people, and yet the pictures of the sin and its cure are set in a most agreeable frame work of narrative and description. 16mo. pp. 232. HENRY 'Myr has published as one of his -Sunday School Series," .a French story called, 'Louts Mictuatu, or The Little French Protes tant." The hero is an , orphan boy; imbued with Protestant principles and thrown among Rotuish relatives, upon whom he is dependent. His mo desty, fitithfulness and quiet zeal for the truth produce very happy results upon his associates. 6ruo. pp. 174. Illustrated. THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM ; is a very elegant unique little volume in glazed paper covers, sea sonably issued toy the American> Tract Society, N. Y. Each page is decorated with the likeness of a star, •in the centre of which is some signifi cant group of figures or single individual, illus trative of the hymn or poem accompanying, and printed a verse on each page. The poetry is-ex cellent and the whole workmanship• is 'delicate and beautiful and a credit to the Society and its workmen. If one wiblres to see to what lengths men who still remain in the Episcopal Church can go, in the repudiation of Reformation principles, and how much nearer they feel to Romani= and to. the Greek Church than to the Protestant, he need but read Dr. FERDINAND a MVER'S Sermons on the FAILURE OE PROTESTANTISM AND ON CATHOLICITY, lately preached in Christ Church, New York, and issued as a thick pamphlet., by D. Appleton & Co. He teaches that "the inevi table logical result of Protestantism is rational ism," and, though we have not followed him out fully enough to see, would account for the ra tionalism of bishops and divines in this own church from the leaven of Protestantism it contains. So he accounts for the rationalism of Germany, but how of that of Prance ? The discourses are able, ingenious, and have this much of truth, that Christianity itself in none of its branches has yet accomplished the tithe of what it is designed to do. PAMPHLETS AND PERIODICALS. MORAL FORCES MOVING THE WORLD, is the title of the Thanksgiving Sermoe preached by Rev. J. W. Wood, pastor, in the First Church ,of Allentown, Pa., and published by the .request of Thomas C. Brainerd and others. It is a vigorous statement and defence of the great principles of moral progress which have so blessed America and the world during the last few years'. THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for January, com mences Vol.l 23d. T. W. Higginson commences a Serial Romance, "Malbone," Bayard Taylor furnishes a Poem, not without merit, on "The Sunshine of the Gods;" also, one of his admirable descriptive pieces on out of the way places in Eu rope, "In the Teutoberger Forest"; a capital story, "The Good Natured Pendulum," is told by one who knows just how to do it, E. E.'Hale; James Russell Lowell has a Poem, only moderate in quality for him: "The Flying Dutchman," also a prose piece in his best vein, and yet on a topic on which we think there is a growin g in difference in this country, " On a Certain Con descension in Foreigners ; ' "Co-operative House keeping" is in its 3rd paper and is well worthy attention from embarrassed housewives. The First of a Series on 'Consumption in America,' promises something calculated to do no small good to our people. Mr. Parton does not do full justice to himself in 'The Mean Yankees at Home,' although he is very readable and at the last quite spicy. Of course he is supercilious in tone to wards evangelical religion. It is such raw and ill-considered remarks as he is guilty of on this subject, in part of the article,, that forbid our cordial commendation of the ATLANTIC tO our readers. 'After Election by Whittier,' is the only good poem. There is also an historical sketch of 'Gnadenhutten' by W. D. Howells, a good 'chatty piece of boyish autobiography by 0. W. Holmes, an article by E. P. Whipple, on 'the Significance of the Republican Triumph' and the usual book notices. OUR YOUNG FOLKS FOR JANUARY IS quite admirable, and with the Prospectus promises very well for 1869. Gardening for Girls; Airs. Agas siz's Articles on Geology; Declamations; Acting Charades, full page pictures &0., are among the good things promised. THE GALAXY FOR JANUARY contains some fine specimens of magazine writing, but Mr. Ben son's Article "On Some New York JourrMlists," intended no doubt as a specimen of the dashing elegance which seems to be the standard of maga zine writers, is certainly overdone. There is a very wide variety in the articles, and we have at the end "The Galaxy Supplement," four chapters of a story by Mrs. Edwards called "Susan Field ing." New. York: Sheldon & Co. MESSRS. B.
