Mr. Eallantyne is well known as a popular writer for youth, and his present work does not detract from his reputation. It is lound in the usual style of all boys' works, and has an excellent engraving for a frontis pieoe. Til ITkrttaor, andotiibk Pokmi. Br Tai wan. Kowlaud bill. Let poltli dt llult. l'liiladvlpbla Agent: Duffleld Ashuiead. The author who writes the poems before us was unknown to us even by name, until we read it on the title page; but judging from the first volume of Lis efforts, we predict for him a brilliant future. All the poems before us are well written. There is none which we may call a really bad one among them, and in many of them there are traces of real genius. Of course, it will require patieut practice, but we think Mr. Sill has in him a capability of doing much better than he has done In this excellent little work. There is no greatness in his conception, but thure is a fine fancy, and everything runs smooth. Fpace will not allow us to make an extract which would do justice, but the following little verse is a sample of the Binoothuesa of the author's metre, although there is no striking novelty in its thought. It is entitled "Time." "Forenoon aud afternoon and night fore noon, And nfteinoon and night forenoon and what! Tbo empty sodr repeals Itself. No more? Yea, that Is lite: umke tbln forenoon aubllino, 1l)n nlternoon a psalm, this Dlgm a prayer, And time Is conquered, aud lliy course Is run." We trust we will hear from Mr. Sill again TrtK Tusk and thk Greek. By 8. W. a. Ben jamin, liurd & Hong n ion. O. W. J'itciier. Mr. Benjamin has selected a topic already worn threadbare by being written and re written upon for the last two centuries. There are probably no two nations whose manners, customs, religion, aud civilization have been as thoroughly discussed as those of the Turks and the Greeks. We therefore cannot give the present author any particular praise for novelty. All that he says has been said before, and if not in as pleasant a style, yet with every material fact. The work is well written. It is full of just estimates of the various characteristics of the peoples of whom he treats When we say that, we say all that can be said in his praise. lie is unfortunate in the choice of a .subject, and does not by transcendent merit raise what is old into a new atmosphere, in which it will appear with the relish of novelty. The work is issued with great care and excellent taste by 1he publishers. Diary op a Miuiskh. Xiv Belle Otis. New York: UunMt Houghton, i'hllauelpUia Ageul: G. W. rilcner. The diary is a record of the events in the life of a young lady who was unwilling to be dependent, and consequently started a milli nery store. It is a very cleverly constructed Btory, filled with cmious and fresh sketches of charai ter as displayed by her customers, and revealing the various means she resorted to in order to sell an article. We must give Miss Otis great credit for the skill she displayed in inducing a wary and penurious purchaser to invest in her dainty wares. The work is rather too lull of the doctrine of ethics. She talks about "dual natures," and sometimes attempts to imitate Carlyle and Emerson in the astonishing vagueness and depth of her sentiments. Yet, taken all together, it is a thoroughly pleasant little work. The field she selected is a new one. The ground is all to be broken, and she may claim all the credit of being the first. It is a small volume, and Will well repay reading. Published by Hurd & Houghton in their usual tasty style. Bfavknward Kahthwakd. By Harriet B. McKeever. J. C. Uarrlgues St Co., Pliiludol- ptll. In the distribution of the prizes offered by Mr. Garrigues for the best story, we think that discretion was shown in awarding it to the volume before us. It is a well-conceived and happily-executed work, filled with seleot moral teachings, calculated to do good, yet never obtrusive in its efforts to inculcate what is right. It will be a most popular Sunday School work, and most deservedly so. The Story is a natural one, full of animation, and in it the way of good and evil is forciblycon" trasted. It is very neatly published. McFheesom's Political Manual. 1H07. By .Hon. JCdward Mtl'lierhou. flilludelplua Agent: X. B. l'ugu. We are heartily glad to see that Mr. McPherson has d -elded on issuing an aunual digeBt of the politics of the United States. Hia two previous wovks are found by us to be of daily use by way of reference, and the volume brings the whole political history of the last seven years down to the end of May. It is ft compact and well arranged as well as complete compilation, and we hope it will become a regular addition to our annuals, as the Tribune Almanac, or any of our periodical publications.

TRtTK PTORIF.S OF TUB MlHTORY OF SPAIW. TKUK H'lORIKH OF THK HjurOKY OF TUB HWTS. James Mil er: New York. l'UUadelpuia AiifDl: O. W. Pitcher. These two works, the commencement of a series of books of instruction for children, are well written, and promise great success for the rest of the Berles. They combine information with pleasure, and are well calculated to make the reader familiar with historical facts with out hia being aware a desideratum much to be desired in works which attempt to teaoh the young. They are printed in substantial and suitable style by Mr. Miller. Wooucmff, By Harriet B. McKeovor. J. P. Hkelly fc Co. As a continuation to a certain extent, yet at the same time possessing sufficient distinctive ness to render it interesting as a separate work, we hail "Woodcliff" as the sequel to the "Woodoliff Children." On it rests the author's principal claim to popularity, and its sucoess hows that the claim is built upon a rock. It is a thoroughly pleasant story. We do not propose to again treat of its merits, but ooin mend the excellent manner in which the pre sent edition is published by Mr. Skclly. Mr. John Hancock, of Philadelphia, sends us a Commentary on the Constitution of the United States, which is a carefully prepared analysis of the most noticeable features of that iubtrument, and is well fitted for a text-book in schools. It is cheaply published, aud should be generally studied by the masses of the people. We have received a pamphlet entitled "A History of the Great Natteoin Expedition of 1SGG, by Captain Cook." It is intended to be an extremely funny work, but we cannot tell its good points, as we are not familiar with Gloucester county, New Jersey. As a local sketch it is probably an excellent work, and doubtless its hits are telling. But we must take them for granted, as it is all lost on a I'hiladelphian. It is filled with abominable wood-cuts; and if the various names are bona fide, is entirely too personal to be comical! ENGINES, MACHINERY, ETC. -ffft, PENS STEAM ENGINE "TnTi sTT-ttV.V-1-.
