LITERATURE.
REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS.
From J. B. Lippinoott & Go. we have re
ceive. Toems," by Lucy Hamilton IIt pir,
a oollf ction of original and translated .oce
'which have many positive merits. Mrs. Hooper
is a graceful and elegant versifier, and the pieces
in the volume be'ora n o n ill ' perused with
pleasure by cultivated readmit. T'.t y ii licate,
however, poetical appreciation and culture
rather than poetical genius in the author, who,
like runny another climber of rarnassu, has
not feeen able to win the best favors of Apollo.
Mrs. Hooper's translations from the German
and French are uniformly well done, and
some of them are exceedingly felicitous. A
fine steel-plate portrait of the author appro
priately fronts the title-page and adds to the
attractions of her book.
J. B. Lippincolt & Co., also send us the
March numbers of The Sunday Magazine,
ood Words, and Good Words for Vie Young,
all of which are handsomely illustrated, and
are filled with stories, sketches, and poems for
old and young, from the pens of some of
the best English writers of the day.
Porter k Coates send ua "From Four
teen to Fourscore," by Mrs. S. W. Jewell,
published by nurd k Ilonphton, and "Out of
the Foam," by John Eaten Cooke, published
by Carleton. "From Fourteen to Foursoore"
professes to be an autobiography, and it is
rather a record of events and reminisoences
thn a connected story. The work is written
in a quiet vein, and is characterized by strong
religious feeling. It is not lacking in humor,
however, and there are some excellent
sketches of character and some fine bits of
doscnption which will commend it to readers
whose tastes incline not to ' the sensational.
"Out of the Foam" ia the work of a writer
of talent, who writes too rapidly for the good
of his reputation. The story ia constructed
with considerable ingenuity, and is written
in lively, animated style which maintains
an unbroken thread of interest. It is impos
sible, however, to read any of the novels of
Mr. Cooke without thinking that they might
have been much better than they are if the au
thor had avoided the mock heroics and placed
his undoubted abilities rather more under
discipline. As it is, his novels lack finish,
and their crudities repel readers of culture,
npon whose approval alone can a writer build
a permanent reputation.
"Checkniate,"which we have received from
Evans, Stoddart k Co., is a new novel by J.
8. Le Fanu, which has been published in ad
vance of its appearance in Europe by a special
arrangement with the author. Le Fanu is
one of the most talented novel writers of the
day, and "Checkmate" is an intensely inte
resting story, which few readers will care to
lay down until it is finished. The plot is very
ingenious, and the leading characters are
sketched in a masterly manner, while the de
nouement is exceedingly efiective.
From Clax'on, Remsen k Haffelfinger
we have received "The Earle'sDeane," bylt.
E. Fruncillon, an elaborate and entertaining
novel of England and French life whioh has
just been issued from the press of Harper it
Brothers.
From W. S. Gray we have received the
following recent publications of the American
Tract Society:
"Short Sermons for the People," by Eev.
William S. Plumer, D. D., contains thirty
five short, practioal discourses whioh appeal
directly to the soul and conscience of the
reader, and which can scarcely fail to effect
much good.
"Life at Threescore and Ten," by Eev.
Albert Barnes, is a revision made by the
author of the discourse delivered in the
First Presbyterian Churoh in this oity on De
cember 8, 18C8. It was originally published
at the request of bis friends, and this revised
edition was prepared expressly for the Ameri
can Tract Society, which undertook to give it
a more extensive circulation.
"The New Life" contains religious counsel
for inquirers and converts, and gives explana
tions of the practical precepts of religion and
encouragement to those who hesitate and
doubt.
T. B. Peterson k Brothers send us "The
Queen's Revenge" and a variety of other
entertaining short stories and sketches by
Wilkie Collins, and "Western Scenes; or,
Life on the Prairie," by John S. Robb
("Solitaire"), a collection of humorous
sketches descriptive of life in the wild
West.

A Story comes from Connecticut that a man.
whose son, being under aire, married airaliist his
Will, took offense thereataad got himself ap
pointed guardian over him. Then, under a law
which permits a guardian to sell the property of
a minor to an amount not exceeding $300, with
out advertising it, he obtained permission of a
Judge of probate to sell his son s half interest
worth 120,000, in his grandfather's estate, aud
without the boy's knowledge, did sell it to a
Sheriff for the paltry sum of 8)275, and by hint
it was transferred to the son's mother at the
same price. And now tbe boy, thus defrauded
of Ms inheritance, proposes to sea If the Court-
A FINANCIAL CRISIS IN TURKEY.
The holders of Turkish bonds are so aoous
tomed to bear gloomy prophecies reapectiug
their investments that they probably will not
be much affected by the observations of the
Levant Jleruld, which would seetn to show
that the Porte is fast drifting into the gravest
financial crisis it has expoiienced since the
Crin.ean war. TLe wholo of the January
coupons will bo paid, but it will be under
presfturo of such diilioulty as no previous
liquidation has over entailed on the Treasury.
During the Inst six or eight jears, including
the conversion of the ouMolides.'iJ 1 20,000, 00)
has been uddtd to the debt of the country,
scarcely a shilling of which has been spent
on reproductive public works. Taxation has
been stretched to its outside limits the
capital alone being now left for a further turn
of the fiscnl screw yet the annual excess of
expenditure ovor revenue has gone' on in
creasing till the deficit of tbe present year
will, it is said, fall little short of
.2".,0()O,0ti0. A portion of this laro
sum muet no doubt be debited to the extra
military preparations necessitated by the ro
cent move of Rusnia, nnd to the Yemen ex
pedition: but the balance is still xuuoh iu cx
cePB of tbo deficit of any recent years, and
can only be explained by tho wasteful ex
penditure which now Neeiiis to have beeotie
a fixed law of Turkish administration. Since
18.-.4 a total of nearly $500,000,000 of public
debt has been incurred; of this it Is true
about $00, 000, 000, has been baid off, but the
balance still entails nn annual charge of
nearly $35,000,000, or little short of one half
of the whole net revenue of the country.
There remain, however, vast material re
sources not only unpledged, but which are as
yet fiscally untouched, and which if utilized
would go far to relieve tho Turkish Treasury
once for all from its embarrassments, and
spare it the necessity of resorting to further
loans. The resources in question are the
almost limitless mineral wealth of the coun
try, and the vast forests which abound
within easy reach of the sea in both halves of
the empire. At the very doors of the capital
the coal-mines of lleraclea might be either
leased or sold for a lump sum which would
tell sensibly on the year's budget, while the
deposits of silver, copper, and other metals
which also abound in both the European and
Asiatic provinces might bo simi
larly turned into gold. There
are also the splendid tracts of forest
fringing the coast on the banks of a score of
rivers which offer easy moans of transport to
the 6ea, in plenty enough to feed a ho3t of
new native industries and supply half the
Western timber markets besides. Add to all
this store of wealth what might be further
realized by tne sale of crown lauds, and the
roughest estimate of the whole will, in the
opinion of the Levant Herald, show that the
Porte is very far indeed from lusolvency;
that it has, on tbe contrary, a reserve capital
which needs only to be made available to
render the Turkish Treasury one of tho
easiest in Europe. On the other hand, it
must be remembered that a natioa whioh
borrows money has many advantages over
one that "utilizes its resources." In the
present temper of the civilized world a repu
tation for poverty is to a certain extent a
safeguard against the cupidity of Christian
neighbors. Debts may as a last resource be
repudiated, but resources admit of no repu
diation. In time of trouble a nation's re
sources, like its sins, are sure to find it out,
and therefore any nation nowadays that has
tbe good fortune to possess resources may
act wisely by keeping them carefully in the
background even at the cost of raising loans
at an exorbitant rate of interest.
