This favorite song of Heine's, which perhaps is surpassed by no other poem either in beauty been set to music by many musicians, has here received a treatment which will bear the test of comparison with all of these former efforts. Its peculiar charm lies in the accompaniment, which is admirably suggestive, first of the lone, drear, wintry surroundings of the sleeping pine, and then of the parched, burning estate of the palm-tree. Baritones and altos who are seeking good music, should certainly procure this capital song. SUMMER BIRDS, 50 cts. By A. Geibel. Author of words not given.

FREDERIC BEECHER PERKINS, (NOT ELI,) Now of the Boston Public Library, is prepared to lecture during the coming season of 1877-8. Knowing how to state facts he will be found a desirable addition to any lecture course. One of his subjects is Wit, Humor and the Laughable. He brings out the real distinction between Wit and Humor; shows with anecdotes and illustrations the various grades of the laughable, from Wit downward through Humor and Fun, and ends by explaining (without being guilty of) the further decline into Nonsense, Absurdity, and mere Flatness.

"We advise all who desire to enjoy a genuine and unalloyed pleasure to read his book, which will bear more than one perusal. We are mistaken if it does not take rank with the best of our English Arctic narratives, and become a permanent favorite with old and young. The well-executed illustrations from the pencil of the author add greatly to the value and attractions of the book."-Times. "Lieutenant Payer has written its story in a style not surpassed in fascinating interest and scientific value by any of those old narratives that are still the delight of all who love to read of the adventures of daring men."-Nature. "No Arctic navigator, since the days of William Barentz, has had a more startling tale to tell, and not one has told it better."-Athenæum. "Cold-blooded. indeed, must the reader be who can study these volumes without a thrill of almost too intense excitement. For literary power the story of the Tegetthoff stands in the very front rank of Arctic narrative."-Graphic. "The result of the voyage is given by Lieutenant l'ayer in a magnificent work. . . . No more stirring chronicle of adventure was ever penned. . . . It is impossible to avoid recording our tribute of admiration to the herole endurance with which, after abandoning their ship, they struggled for months across a treacherous floating desert of ice on their return home."-London Quarterly. "This remarkable adventure, the record of which stands, in many respects, alone amid the stories of Arctic discovery.

GARTH. BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE, author of "Bressant," "Saxon Studies," etc. 1 vol., 8vo. Paper covers, $1.00. Cloth, $1.50. "GARTH' is a book which we feel some hesitation in judging on the strength of first impressions only; but, as far as first impressions are to be trusted, we should say that in power, clearness, and, save for one blot which we will speak of later, artistic completeness, it is a most remarkable advance on any previous work of the author's-an advance, indeed, so remarkable that no height of excellence in him in the future will come upon us as a surprise. The five principal characters-Garth Urmson himself, his father, Cuthbert, that father's half-brother, Golightley Urmson, and the two heroines, Elinor Golightly and Madge Danver-we incline to regard as masterpieces, and we believe that longer study would only deepen our admiration of them. Perhaps the best of all is the last-named, Madge. She has one of those faultlessly beautiful faces which beguile the unwary, as the author says, 'into postulating a beautiful soul to it; but Madge's soul is not beautiful-is not even clean. She is wise with the wisdom that cometh not from above, but is earthly and sensual-we must not finish the quotation by adding ity which Egypt never seems to suggest to any one, yet which no one but Mark Twain ever escaped in the Holy Land.

Price, $2.00. "In the Humorous Literature of France may be found its best literary productions. In whatever the French mind may be deficient, it is certainly opulent in vivacity, wit, humor, and above all, in grotesquerie. No nation has produced writers so droll as Rabelais, so witty as Moliere, so humorous as La Fontaine, so grotesque as Scarron, or so jolly as Beranger. Indeed, no wit in modern literature is compara devilish,' for there is nothing fiend-like in the girl, who does With a New Woodburytype Portrait ble to French wit, taking the word in its largest scope as but seek to enjoy in the only fashion she has it in her to conceive of enjoyment. At times he loves Garth, to whom she is betrothed, with passion; but what she loves in him is the strength and manliness which fascinate her, and the occasional fierce outbursts which thrill her with a delicious fear; the nobility of soul, the deep reverence, the aspiration after an ideal perfection that make up the real Garth she cannot reach up to, and so while sometimes despising her lover as a dreamer and an idler, she sometimes half-despises herself for what she feels is her inferiority in not comprehending him. Garth,' she says to him once, as he lies unconscious in delirium, you suit me on the whole better than any one else. Why won't you be what I want you to be? But you won't, and if you did, I suppose it would spoil you somehow-how provoking! I love him for not being what he must be if I'm to marry him?' And again, He is all that I admire in a man, but he is so much more besides that my part is crowded out of sight.' We have said so much con cerning Madge that we have left ourselves no space to dwell upon the other four characters whom we have named as standing on the same line with her, amply as they all repay | study. We will only say that Cuthbert Urmson, in his wisdom, his gentle and kindly satire, and his keenness of insight into the inmost secrets of everybody, while he is all the time supposed to be a recluse absorbed in his books, reminds us very strongly of Austin Caxton in Lord Lytton's novel. The blot we have referred to consists in this: In Garth Urmson we are to see the man in whom the struggle between the good and the evil influences and impulses that have swayed his race culminate, and are at some crisis in his history to join issue for a decisive battle. Such a crisis should have formed the true climax to the story and been worked up accordingly, whereas when the crisis comes here, it seems to us of such inadequate importance, and to be hurried over so rapidly, that we are unable to feel that we have been through a crisis at all. This is the only serious flaw we have discov ered in the book, and it is likely enough that we should have thought less of that in a book of less excellence. We have made no attempt at giving any résumé of the plot of 'Garth,' as within our limits it would have been almost impossible to give one that would have served any useful purpose."-London Graphic.
