DEEDS WORTH TELLING.

Logs for the Yule-tide Fire. By
Edward A. Rand. Square 8vo.
Cloth. Profusely illustrated. Pp.
234

$1 50 Mr. Rand is a capital story-teller. His books for boys are among the most popular on our list, In Deeds Worth Telling he turns his hand to something new. Instead of writing about imaginary boys and what they might do, he tells twenty-six true stories of what real boys (and girls and men and women as well) have actually done. The book is

handsomely gotteu up, with over one hundred and fifty illustrations, an illuminated title-page, and a handsome cloth cover.

Miss Norris writes with a literary finish, which is 90 rare in books of this class. She is a close observer of life and a faithful recorder of what she sees

and hears. Phebe opens upon the reader at Newport
when the fashionable season is just dawning, and we
have a brilliant study of "high life' at the great
American resort. From Newport's display we turn
to Killian Hook, L. I., where Phebe Ewing, young,
brave, beautiful. carries on the old Ewing farm and
waits for her brother long absent in Australia. The
characters are typical Americans and are sketched
with great clearness.

REUBEN. A Prince in Disguise.
By Carlisle B. Holding. 12mo. I 00
"Is it worth while to get a thorough education?"
Such is the question, in one form or another, which
boys, and not only boys, will ask. The author here
gives a refreshing and satisfactory answer in the
story of this awkward, easily abashed, but hearty
and manly farmer-boy. The volume is full of the
charm of straightforward, natural narrative, good
fiction, and clean precept.

[blocks in formation]

A rare book. The romance of the tale will hold the attention of girl readers. No boy will go far in it without forgetting himself in the stories of jungle life. Men and women will open their eyes to the wonders of Hindustan which it records. Apart from its purpose to help the cause of missions among Hindu women, Nemorama is one of the most readable books of the year.

BY CANOE AND DOG-TRAIN,
Among the Cree and Salteaux
Indians. By Egerton Ryerson
Young. Square 8vo. Profusely
illustrated.

Mr. Young, with his wife and children, went among the Canadian tribes to preach Christ. His book is a vivid account of the hardships and perils, the adventures and escapes of missionary life among the red men. It is an Indian story of the best illustrations contribute to the value of the book, kind; truthful, exciting, and instructive. The many Every member of the household will find something in it to his taste, and it will be in constant demand in any circulating Sunday-school, or public library. UNDER THE LANTERN AT

BLACK ROCK. By Edward
A. Rand. 12mo.

[ocr errors]

I 25

An ideal book for the thousands of boys who love the sea. There is plenty of life in the story of this group of lads in a small New England sea-port. To hint of the schooner adrift, the camp on the island, the pope-night celebration, the fraud in the lighthouse, is to show the sort of a book this is. It has a serious purpose, too, which these stirring incidents help to bring out. For it proves to any boy's satisfaction that the fellow who sticks to his business honestly comes out ahead of his brilliant rival who blows a big trumpet, but neglects the plain duties of life.

Either of these books will be sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any post-office in the United States or Canada on receipt of price.

NEW BOOKS BY EMINENT EDUCATORS.

Outlines of Physiological Psychology. Principles of Political Economy.

By GEORGE T. LADD, D.D. Illustrated. Crown 8vo, $2.00. The author's larger work, entitled "Elements of Physiological Psychology," met with such universal favor as to warrant the issue of this abridgment, which has been prepared especially for use in academies and institutions of secondary instruction.

By ARTHUR LATHAM PERRY, LL.D. Crown 8vo, $2.00.

This work is devoted exclusively to the principles of the science, treating the history only incidentally to illustrate each topic; and it occupies an intermediate position between the author's "Introduction to Political Economy" and "Political Economy."
