    running through the pages of Longman ' s Magazine , this story is now published in onevolume form . Miss Grerard relates in a charming

    incisive manner how Rudolph von Ortenegg , a lieutenant in the Austrian army , while quartered ^ a ^^ 0 t ^ v Gor h t - ^ r ^^^ a ^ " ^ tyn ^^ i ¦ —f »^^ , — a ^^ v ^ town ^« - — - - in Poland — — — — , falls _~ in — — 'i !¦ love - ¦— < — - - ^ with - - — —

    one Salome Marmorstein ; the daughter of a dealer in skins , and a Jewess to boot , and what lications arose from this disaster . Rudolph

    had comp persuaded his inamorata not only to consent to marry him but to turn Christian as well , and this was very naturally resented by Berish

    Marmorstein , her father . How the latter cunningly prevented the marriage we must leave the reader the pleasure and entertainment

    of finding out . Many of the authors characters are excellently drawn ; notably , Surchen Mar-^ morst ^ S t ^ BV ~ ~ ^^ m ^ W ^ " ei ^^ ^^ ^ n ^ m ^^ , V with » ^ r— ^^ ^^ v her - ^_ - v - insatiable ¦ ** — - ' ^ ' craving ~^^ ' — ' - » t ^^ M after ^^

    geschdft and sharp sordid intelligence . The entire story will abundantly repay perusal . From the same . — ' Our Kin across the Sea' by

    J . C . Firth , with a Preface by J . A . Froude , y i / . This volume deserves very high and true encomiums . That it is eminently readable is ,

    owing to its practical purpose , far from being the most important of its recommendations . An idea is afloat that the union of the great

    English-speaking countries of the world would be one of the grandest political achievements of this or any other age . On this point Mr .

    Firth speaks . As a New Zealand colonist he criticises the mode of life in the United States , and M & opinions are free from the bias which is

    invariably found in books on America written by " English authors . Mr . Firth ' s book ought to do & great amount of good .

    From Messrs . James Macleh . ose & Sons . —At this date it is scarcely necessary to call

    attention to the humour , pathos , and rugged vigour of Mr . Walter C . Smith ' s * Olrig Grange / of which a fourth edition , in neat and well-printed

    form , is now issued . Admirers of the poet will be pleased to renew acquaintance under such favourable guiseand in turning over his pages

    , are sure to iind new causes for admiration . From Messrs- Macmillan So Co . —* A Text Bo ^ jk

    valuable volume with the above title . It is likely to be highly appreciated by all who are engaged in educational work on account of the

    clear method of its arrangement . The authors , as practised hands , have given to the public the

    result of their experience , and their efforfc should meet with unanimous approval . A

    marked feature in the work is the carefully arranged number of exercises that are included .

    From the same . —New editions , in particularly neat bindinghave been issued of « Westward

    , Ho ! ' by Charles Kingsley , and ' The Heir of Redclyffe / by Charlotte M . Yonge . The former

    contains an admirable portrait of the author , and the latter some excellent engravings from the design of Kate Greenaway . Both volumes

    form the first of a new series . From Messrs . Marpon & Flammarion r Paris i . —
