LITEUATUan.
HE V I F, V OF KE W BOO K 8.
Claxton, Kemson k HaffelfiDger send us
the following new books:
"Marcella, the Fearless Christian Maiden,"
by Francis Eastbrook, published by Dodd &
Mend, is a story of ll-inim life in the early
days of the Christian Church, in whioh the
trials and tribulations of the believers In
Christ are narrated in a manner calculated to
excite the interest and sympathy of young
readers. The author ha en lnvond, with
success, to give a correct local coloring to the
surroundings of her heroine, and the tale is
oie that is worthy of perusal as a graphic
description of old lloman life, independently
of the value of the religions truths it sets
forth.
"Lawrence's Adventures Among the Ice
cutters, Glassmakers, Coal-miners, Iron-men
and Ship builders," by J. T. Trowbridge,
published by Fields, Osgood & Co., is an at
tempt to combine entertainment with in
a t motion that is more than usually sncoessful.
The various chapters of the book originally
appeared in Our Young Folks as separate
jrticles, and they were highly appreciated by
a multitude of the readers of that popular
juvenile magazine, many of whom will be
glad to possess them complete in a neat
volume that will be an ornament to the shelves
of a library.
"Cinderella and Iler Little Glass Slipper,"
'Little Red Iiidi ng Hood, " and 'Crave Ballads
for American Children," conta'niog "The
Story of Columbus," "Rip Van Winkle,"
"The Story of Putnam the Brave," and "The
Ballad of Abraham Lincoln," are three holi
day brochures, filled with clever designs by
Alfred Fredericks, which are printed in the
most brilliant colors for the gratification of
the peculiarly critical order of taste that pre
vails in the nursery. These attractive pamph
lets are published by Fields, Osgood & Co.
J. B. Lippincott & Co. send us "How
Nelly Found the Fairies," a very pretty little
story that will please the fancy of young
readers of both sexes.
From the same house we have received the
following recent juvenile publications of Lee
fc Shepard:
"Arthur Brown, the Young Captain," by
Rev. Elijah Kellogg, is the first of the "Plea
sant Cove Series," to be completed in six
volumes, the idea of which is to illustrate the
power of kindness.
The "Kathie Stories," by Miss A. M. Doug
las, entitled "Kathie's Three "Wishes,"
'Kathie's Summer," and "Kathie's Aunt
Ruth," are pleasantly written, and are sure of
( appreciative readers. The three volumes are
bound in an attractive style, and are con
tained in a neat box, so that they will make
a very nice holiday gift for some boy or girl
of literary tastes.
From D. Ashmead we have received the
following:
"Love; or, Woman's Destiny," is the title
of the leading poem in a little volume of verse
by Sarah J. Hale. In this poem the ideas in
regard to the sphere and the mission of women
which have been advocated by Mrs. Hale
for many years are set forth in graoeful and
melodious verse, which may win for them the
attention of those who refuse to read didac
tical treatises in prose. The leading poem is
Supplemented by several shorter ones which
have appeared from time to time in Oodey'a
Lady's Book, and have been met with suffi
cient favor to warrant their republication.
"The Mother's Legacie to her Unborn e
Childe," by Elizabeth Jooeline, edited from
the edition of 1G25, by Mrs. S. J. Hale, is a
touching little manual of godly counsel that
Mrs. Hale has done a good service to Ameri
can readers by presenting with an appro
priate introduction explaining its purport and
the circumstances under which it was written.
Among all the beautiful books now before
the public there are few that are better worth
putting into the hands of a thoughtful child
than this, and we commend it to the notice
of those who are searching for appropriate
holiday gifts for the young folks at home.
From Porter & Coates we have received
specimen engravings of "Boydell's Shake
speare," the most stupendous piece of artistio
folly ever perpetrated. Alderman J. Boydell,
afterwards Lord Mayor of London, about the
year 1785 conceived the idea of establishing
a grand Shakespearian gallery and expended
a magnificent fortune and brought himself
to bankrupcy by having a series of paintings
made by the first British artists of the day,
among whom were Sir Joshua Reynolds, Ben
jamin West, Fuseli, Romney, Northoote,
Smirke, Bucby, and Opie. These works were
engraved and were published at two guineas a
copy, or about $1000 for the whole series. The
entire cost of the paintings and engravings
has been estimated at more than $5,000,000,
'and up to the present time "Boydell's Shake
speare" has been a work.to be found only in
the largest publio libraries, or in the collec
tions of the wealthiest connoisseurs. Messrs,
Porter &. Coates have a limited number of
copies which they effer to subscribers at the
very low price of $140 for two magnificent
volumes, half bound in the best Russia
leather. This is an opportunity to obtain
possession of a series of impressions of these
engravings at a low figure that may never
offer again, and connoisseurs should make a
note of the fact. The impressions sent to
ns, if not equal to first proofs, are very satis
factory, and are certainly worth more than
the price demanded for them.
The last few months have been specially
fatal to officers of the United States Navy. The
UiOttality set in with the death of the illustrious
I'sriagut, aBd since then some of the brightest
i. nine 8 have been thus stricken from the rolls.
Taj lor, Stewart, and Breese followed each
ciltr in rapid succession, and now Commodore
Curdner has gone to join tbe "innumerable
caravan." Porter still remains, hale and
lirtirtv; subject only to chronic attacks of cor-
leondenee, which, however much they may
;u j air Lis memory, do not seem to he attended
with any particular danger to his we.

road.
Tbe established character of this road, runamg as
It does through the heart of the most thickly-settled
and richest portion of the great State of Iowa, to
gether with its present advanced condition and large
earnings, warrant ns la unhesitatingly recommend
ing these bonds to Investors as, in every respect, an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the Issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise is
completed, which will be this fall, an immediate ad
vance ever subscription price may be looked for.
The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of the bolder into the stock of the Com
pany at par, and the payment of the prluclpal Is pro
vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause i
them, at an early day, to command a market pfice j
consiaeraoiy aoove pr. u. . f ive-twenties at pre
sent prices return only i per cent, currency lata
rest, while these bonds .pay 9 pur cent., and wa
regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security'
to any Ballroad Bond Issued; and until they are
placed upon the New York Stock Exchauge, ttie
rules of which require the road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these
bonds sold by ns afler this date at the same price as
realized by ns on then sale.
All marketable securities taken in payment free or
commission and express charges.
