THE BEAUTY OF DISCIPLINE.
By H H B
1 vol 16mo. Price 75 oents; or gilt edges, $l,
[From the Detroit Dally.J
Idotatte is a vivacious, talkative&irl or sixteen, some
thing of a romp, and with an Impulsive disposition,
which Is always leading her into'trouble. Sneis in*
trodneed upon the scene In the act of deliberately dis*
obeying a strict paternal injunction, which she has
succeeded in evading by a little clover manoeuvring.
The conversation with her quiet little friend Jennie, as
the old horse leisurely jogs along upon the forbidden
excursion, is a perfect lac-simile of girlish talk. The
twinges of conscience sadly interfere with her antici
pated pleasure, and she returns home to meet her
father’s reproving words and cloudy brow, For a time
the baidens her heart, and obstinately refuses to con*
fess her fanlt; but she grows very miserable under her
mother’s tearful glauoe and her father’s distant cold*
ness, and at last, after severe with the pow
erful lnitino;of self-will, sheis softened, humbled, sub
dued. v.
This long heart strogg'e marks an epoch in her life,
end hencefotth a change Is perceptible, which gradually
monlda her wayward charaoterioto one of fixed princi
ple and thoughtful consideration for others. She is
subjected to soie trials in her resolute adherence to
the right, but she learnß to accept them as a whole
some discipline, at»d ripens Into womanhood adorned
with toe virtues>hioh render her a blessing to all
who come within her sphere.
The charm of this story is In Us naturalness, and the
effortless ease with which the stream of narrative
hows. There is no straining alter startling effects, no
resort to undue arts to stimulate the earioslty.
In the characteristic sketches, which are the life of
the story, Bring personsgrs have evi entjy sat for tbelr
portraits The antiquated spinster. Betty Trotter,
Dolly Pippin, at whose bouse the ladies’ prayer-meet
ing had been held for twenty years, Jonah Fusttoks
and Polly Fusticks, dealing out candy and nick-nacks
to the juveniles, are capital portraitures.
As a holiday present for young persons, Idoletto
Stanley is one of the most attractive bioks that have
come under our observation

A HISTORY OF NEW ENGLAND,
By Johm Gorham Palhbt, LL. D.
Yol.l. 8 vo. Maps. Cloth, $2.26.
“ Dr. Paffrey.haa written the History of New England
as it has been written before. His offloial po
sition, formerly Secretary of the State of Massachusetts,
and his researches in ail sorts of historical repositories
abroad, have bronght before him all the original docu
ments whitfti are the primary materials of history. His
fidelity, accuracy, thoroughness, and candor in invest!-
gotten, the moeness of his learning and the breadth of
his general culture, are qualities of the highest service
in hts undertaking. There is a freshness in the flow of
his narrative, a terse sagacity in his cursory expressions
of opinion, and a jadlcial summing up on points dis
puted or perplexed, whioh engage alike the liveliest in
terest and the fullest confidence of his readers.**—[Bos
ton Bally Advertiser.
“This is a noble theme; and it is fortunate that its
treatment-baa fallen into the hands of a soholar of pro
found learning, elegant culture, and varied experience
We have had an opportunity to know something
of the extent and minuteness of Dr. Palfrey’s inquiries;
of the conscientious fidelity with which he is pursuing
his labors,; of his untiring pains to attain to that basis
merit in a historian—without which a superstructure
will be valueless—accuracy; and of his earnest desire to
get at the fountain of New England institutions and to
traoa the springs of its progress. He is doing this ton
amort; and hence the public will have no piece of job
work, but each a production as liborand time and the
closest reflection only can produce.’’— [Boßton Post.

property being independent of alooholio power, its

Whilo it strengthens and refreshes the debilitated in
the summer season, it is not less potent during the in
clemency of winter, by warming with its healthy tonic
principle, and enabling the system to resist tie in
