MX VIEW OF JfW BOOKS.
"Crumbs Swept Up" is the title of
book of short essays on familiar subjects by
Iter. T. DeWitt Talmage, which has just
been issued by Evans, Stoddart &, Co. Mr.
Talmage, both as a preacher and as a writer,
has a short, snappy, and rather bumptious
style that must be agreeable to the tastes of a
very large number of men and women of
average intelligence, for he has undoubtedly
multitude of admirers, and innumerable
were the tears that were shed when the "dear
aaan" abandbned his field of usefulness in
this city to take possession of a more ex
tensive one in Brooklyn. The style of Mr.
Talmage, notwithstanding the fact that it is
10 extensively popular, is not one that can
fee cordially admired upon critical
grounds, and the series of papers
in the volume before us are open to the ob
jections of being rather superficial in treat
ment and rather slangy in tone. They are,
however, lively and animated, and here and
there we find a gleam of genuine poetry that
redeems many faults, while some of the de
scriptive passages are so good that they in
spire a wish that Mr. Talmage had carried his
pen a little more carefully in other places and
given throughout as good writing as he was
able. The essays have many of them been
published before in magazines and news
papers, and the fact that they have been ex
tensively copied proves that they appeal to
the sympathies and tastes of a very large
audience. Their general character can be
gneBsed at by such titles as "Cut Behind,"
"Orange Blossoms Frosted," "The Kilkenny
Cats," "Good Cheer," "Hobbies," "Star En
gagements," "Children's Books," "Making
Things Go," "Saturday Night," "Prayer
meeting Killers," "The Right Track,"
"Chills and Fever Vindicated," "Sub
lime Wretchedness of Watering-places,"
and "The Smile of the Sea." The book is
handsomely printed and bound, and is filled
with numerous clever illustrations by the
Bensell Brothers.
The following recent publications of
Fields, Osgood A Co. have been sent us by J.
B. Lippincott & Co.:
"Talks About People's Stomaohs," by Dio
Lewis, A. M., M. D., is a series of brief
essays the character of whioh is indicated
fey the title, but whioh have the merit, rare
even in BO-called popular medical works, of
being exceedingly readable. If good ad
vice with regard to keeping the human sto
mach in order be considered a pill that few
would be disposed to take for its own sake,
Dr. Lewis is entitled to the credit of having
applied a sugar-coating with muoh judgment;
and this little book of dietetics hints is not
only good in itself, but it will be found infi
nitely entertaining to any one who wishes to
beguile a leisure hour with really amusing
reading.
"Vagabond Adventures," by Ralph Keeler,
if a series of autobiographical sketches, of
whioh "The Tour of Europe for $181 in cur
rency," which first appeared in the Atlantic
MonVJy a few months ago, is a fair sample.
In the volume before us are narrated
his wanderings from the age of
eleven, when he ran away from
home, to the age of twenty-two, when he
returned from his remarkable European tour,
and commenced life ia earnest by writing out
his experiences for the benefit of the public.
Mr. Keeler tells his story in a very straight
forward way, and the rich vein of humor
that appears to have enabled him to look
upon the bright side of the most deplorable
situations, and the strong individuality that
marks the book, place the reader immediately
tnrapport with the writer, and although other
travellers have had more important matters
to tell, as entertaining a book of adventures
as this has not been given to the publio for a
long time.
From the same house we have received the
following recent publications of Lee & She-
pard:
"The House on Wheels" is a translation
from the French of Madame de Soltz, by
Miss E. F. Adams. It is a pleasantly written
narrative of the adventures of a little boy
who was stolen by gipsies, and the interest of
the narrative and the clever illustrations
ought to make it popular with the young
people.
"Field and Forest," by Oliver Optic, is the
JLrat volume of the "Upward and Onward
Series." In this series the career of a youth
from childhood to manhood will be illustrated
and described, and the hero will be repre
sented as a young man of high aims and lofty
purposes, which will preserve him in many
temptations and enable him to pass with
redit through many stirring adventures,
The scene of the present story is laid up n
the waters of the Upper Missouri, and it
gives the hero an excellent introduction to
tke reader.
"Who Will Win?" and "Going on a Mis
Sion," by Paul Corbin, are the two first
volumes of the "Beckoning" series. They
endeavor to inculcate sound religious and
moral principles under the guise of pleas
antly-written stories, and can be recom
mended as excellent books to be placed in
the hands of yeung people, whose tastes are
consulted not merely by interesting narra
tives, but by fine paper, neat printing, numer
ous illustrations, and very tastefal binding,
that will make the volumes decidedly orna
mental upon the shelves of a library.
J. B. Lippinoott &. Co. send us of their
own publications a handsome volume entitled
"Good Stories for Young People,", which
contains some of the best short stories that
have appeared during the past year in Gooi
Words for the Young. These are from the
pens of able and popular writers, among
whom may be mentioned Miss Molock, Kath
rine S. Maoquoid, and Hans Christian Ander
sen. The illustrations are by artist! of first
rate ability, and the book is altogether what
its came implies, a collection of really good
stories that both old and young may read
with interest and profit.
CI Alton. Remsen & HafTeluoger send ui
the following new publications:
"Geoffrey Ihe Lollard," by Francis East
wood, published by Dodd & Mead, is a floti
tious narrative based upon the facts with
regard to the persecution of the early re
formers who went nnder the name of Lol
lards, which are reoorded by Fox in "The
Book of Martyrs." Considerable ingenuity
is displayed in the construction of the story,
whioh gives a graphio picture of an important
political and religious era.
"The Castaways," by Captain Mayne Reid,
published by Sheldon it Co., is one of those
exciting narratives of adventure, filled with
the most extraordinary statements with re
gard to beasts, birds, fishes, reptiles, and
vegetable growths for the truth of which the
author vouches most earnestly that Captain
Reid's many youthful admirers find so vastly
entertaining. The best commendation we
can bestow upon the story before us is that it
is written in fully as extravagant a vein as
any of its predecessors, and that its facts ia
natural history would be hard to believe if
they were narrated by any one but Captain
Mayne Reid.
"The Vivian Romance," by Mortimer Col
lins, and "Which is the Heroine?" are a
couple of attractive English stories that
Messrs. Harper A, Brothers have just added
to their "Library of Select Novels. "
"Two Ways of Doing It," by Miss L.
Bates, published by J. P. Skelly fc Co., is a
discussion of some of the subjects relating to
the woman's rights controversy, under the
form of a fictitious narrative, and some of the
views advanced have the merit of being more
sound and sensible than those too often put
forward by the women who talk a great deal
about their rights without apparently having
any very clear ideas as to what those rights
really are.
"The Sunday-sobool Idea," by John S.
Hart, LL.D., which has just been published
by J. C. Garrigues & Co., is an exposition of
the principles which underlie the Sunday-
school cause, and the relation which the Sunday-school
bears both to the individual
Bcho'ar and to the great work of Christianiz
ing the world. Professor Hart has had many
years' experience as a Sunday-school super
intendent and teacher, and the book before
ns is full of hints of the highest value to all
who are interested in the advancement of the
Sunday-school work.
From T. B. Peterson & Bros, we have re
ceived "The Initials," by the Baroness Taut
phoeus. This is one of the most charming
love stories of modern times, and it
fully deserves the extended popularity that
is evidenced by the appearance of this new
edition.
Messrs. Peterson also send us "Captain
Simon Suggs," a series of sketches of life in
Alabama in what we must now consider the
old times. These sketches were very popular
when they were first published, and they have
enough genuine humor in them to repay a
reperusal.
No. 47 of "Zell s Popular Encyclopedia"
embraces the titles between "Pontine" and
"Psalmist." This encyclopedia is entitled to
the regards of the publio on aooount of its
completeness and its cheapness. In no other
work in the language is so much valuable in
formation given at the same price, and now
that it is fast approaching completion a clear
idea of its great value caa be obtained. In
some respects it is the most satisfactory en
cyclopedia published, as it treats of many
subjects not contained in any other work of
the kind, and it is brought down to the very
latest dates.
The Philadelphia Photographer for No
vember has, as usual, an attractive "specimen"
and a variety of interesting and useful infor
mation on photographio subjects.
Van Nostrand't Eclectic Magazine for
November is made up of valuable papers
selected from the best European publications.
The American Exchange and Review
presents several ably written articles on sub
jects of interest and valuable statistics of
mining, finanee, insurance, railroads, com
merce, manufactures, etc.
From J. B. Lippinoott & Co. we have
received the November numbers of TJie Sun
day Magazine, Good Words, and Good Words
for the Young, which contain excellent
stories and sketches by some of the best
English writers of the day, which are illus
trated by numerous beautiful designs from
the penoils of artists of reputation. The
November number of Good Words for the
Young commences a new volume, and it
presents among other attractions the opening
chapters of a new story entitled "The Prin
cess and the Goblin, by the editor, George
MacDonald.
How a JJoa Committed dctcide. l was
walking (says a correspondent) on the banks
of the .Loire, when I discovered a dog, some
thing of a setter, trotting up and down by
the water's edge. He went and came with
uneven steps, sometimes stopping short as if
he were pondering some weighty matter.
nis proceedings roused my curiosity, and.
concealing myself behind some young trees,
I determined to watch him. The door, who
was old, thin, and, to a certain extent, de
prived of the ubo of his hind legs, went on in
the same manner for more than a quarter of
an hour; then approaching the edge of the
river bans at a steep place, be sat down and
looked sadly at the water.
Presently, having finally resolved on his
oourse, he raised nimseii on ms poor para
lvzed paws, made a spring and threw Him
self into the Loire. I ran to the place from
whence he fell, and saw him carried off by
tne stream without making the slightest re
sistance. As he came near the bans I called
him gently, and held out my cane that he
might take hold of it. He made no sign. I
tied my handkerchief to the end of my cane
and threw it to him; he turned his head away
sadly and drifted off. I lost sight of him at
the end of a few minutes. He must no doubt
have fcunk.
Feeling persuaded that this nnfortunate
dog had suddenly chosen death by a delibe
rate act of his will, I mentioned the oiroutn
stance to several persons, and inquiries were
made which elicited the fact that the poor
animal had belonged to a gardener, who, see
ing Liiu ionrin and useless, had pitilessly
driven Liui from his home. He had wan.
1 dered for a whole month in the fields and
about the farms, receiving more blows than
crusts, till he preferred a violent death to his
miserable exiwtenoe.
