The Boston Traveller (December 22, 1876) says: " An Average Boy's Vacation,' by Mary S. Deering, a little book which bears the imprint of a Portland firm, is the first of a series to be be known as the Forest City Series.' Though an average boy is the hero, it is a little above the average as a story. It is bright, witty, and interesting. The sports of boyhood and the fun of home are mingled here with lots of boy philosophy like this: I shall never keep a store,' said Phil.

You can't tell whether you will make anything. And I shan't be a lawyer; it takes too long to get started in business; nobody is obliged to carry a case to a lawyer. But if I should be a doctor, and there was a baby within two doors sick with croup. nobody would wait to think how old I was. They'd just run and get me, and I should save the baby. Then I'm all right.' It is a capital book, and prettily gotten up."

If we are not mistaken, it will give an even higher idea of the author's powers than is conveyed by his weekly sermons....

"OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC PRINTER, "WASHINGTON, June 14, 1877. "I do not know why Webster should not be regarded as authority in the Government Printing Office, as everywhere else."-John D. Defrees, Government Printer.

In 1873 the Congressional Printer stated: "Webster's Dictionary is the standard authority in this office, and has been for the last four years."

August 4. 1877: "The Dictionary used in the Government Printing Office is Webster's Unabridged."

Is it not rightly claimed that Webster is

Isis Unveiled.

A Master Key to the Mysteries of Ancient and Modern Science and Religion. By H. P. Blavatzky, Corresponding Secretary of the Theosophical Society. 2 vols. royal 8vo, about 1,400 pages, handsomely printed, cloth extra, $7.50.

The recent revival of interest in Philology and Archæology, resulting from the labors of Bunsen, Layard, Higgins, Muller, Dr. Schlieman, and others, has created a great demand for works on Eastern topics.

The author enters the field well equipped. A native of Asia, her childhood passed among the Calmucks, Tartars, Persians, and other Eastern peoples; her maturity among Hindus, Cingalese, Thibetans, and Egyptians, oriental traditions, languages, literature, and mythology have long been her chief study and occupation. The immense fund of information stored up during years of thoughtful study and observant travel in all lands, enable her to throw more light upon the esoteric philosophy of Eastern nations than, perhaps, any other writer who has contributed to the literature of this important subject.

scene, he is associated. Between these two friends there was

shaded by ancient elms, and looking out on a broad meadow and
the winding Charles, with the Brighton hills closing the view.

went to talk of books, of scholars, of friends, of common studies.
Here he sought rest from the weariness of political strifes, the
solace he craved when he met coldness and injustice elsewhere.
The poet has associated him with the scene in an elegiac trib-

Linger and fold him in thy soft embrace

Around the City of the Dead, where lies

And say good-night, for now the western skies
Are red with sunset, and gray mists arise
Like damps that gather on a dead man's face.
Good-night! good-night! as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof at midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone to bed;

I stay a little longer, as one stays

To cover up the embers that still burn.".

While Byron is out of fashion in his own country, the rage for Musset, which for a long time made him appear, not so much the favorite modern poet of France. as the only one, has subsided into a steady admiration and affection, a permanent preference. New editions of his works are being constantly issued, his verses are on every one's lips, his tomb is heaped with flowers on All Soul's Day."
