AMONG THE AUTHORS L. BEHYMER Several weeks ago we mentioned a new boo;: coon to appear containing come comic tragedies', written in the early <Uvh by that benefactor oi households, Lonißa M. Alcott, dear Aunt Jo, who ia embalmed in the thoughts and loves of thoueande of little men and womon. Roberts Bros., Boston, have just pub- lished Comic Tragedies, written by Jo and Meg and acted by the "little women." In the good old times, when the little women worked and played together, the big garret was the scene of many dra- matic revels. After a long day of teach- ng, sewing and "helping mother" the greatest delight of the girls was to trans- form themselves into queens, knights and cavaliers of high degree and ascend into a world of fancy ahd romance. Cin- derella's godmother waved her wand and the dismal room became a fairyland. I Flowers bloomed, lorests aroae, music i sounded and lovers exobanged their I vows by moonlight. Nothing was too } ambitious to attempt; armors, gondo- I las, harps, towers and palaces grew as if ? by marjic, and wonderful ecenoß of valor ! and devotion were enacted before ad- miring audiences. Jo, of course, played the villiane, ghosts, bandite and disdainful queens, for her tragedy-loving soul delighted in i the lurid parte, and no drama was per- fect in her eyes without a touch of the demoniac or supernatural. Meg loved the sentimental roles, the tender maiden with the airy robes and flowing locks, who made impossible sacrifices for ideal ; lovers, or the cavalier, singing Boft eer- l enades and performing lofty acts of gallantry and prowess. Amy was the fairy sprite, while Beth enacted the page - ajbr messenger when the scene required eWhoir aid. Yet the most surprising part of the performance was the lengtb of the cast nnd the size of tbe company; for Jo and Meg usually acted the whole play, each often assuming five or six characters, and with rapid change of dress becom- ing, in one scene, a witch, a soldier, a beauteous lady and a haughty noble. Tb.it peculiar arrangement accounts for many queer devices, and the somewhat singular fact that each scene offers but two actors, who vanish and reappear at most inopportune moments, and in a great variety of costumes. Long speeches were introduced to allow a rumen to be- come a priest, or a lovely damsel to dis- guise herself in the garb of a sorceress, while great skill was required to pre- serve tbe illusion and astonish the audi- . esce by these wonderful transforma- tions. Tbe young amateur of today, who can easily call to ber aid all the arts of the costumer end scene-maker, will find it bard to understand the difficulties of tbie little company, ior not only did they compose their, plays, but they were also their own carpenters, scene- painters, property-men, dressmakers and managers. In place of a well-ap- pointed stage, with the brilliant lights and inspiring accessories of a mimic theatre, tbe "little women" had a gloomy garret or empty barn, and were obliged to exercise all their ingenuety to present the scene of their ambitious dramas. But it is surprising what fine effects can be produced with old sheets, bright draperies and a judicious arrangement of lights, garlands and picturesque proper ties; and Jo's dramatic taete made her an admirable stage manager. Meg was especially handy with saw and hammer, end acted as stage carpenter- building balconies, thrones, boats and towers after peculiar designs of her own. Bureaus, tables and chairs piled aloft and arched witn dark shawls made dun- geon walls and witch caves, or formed a back ground for haunted forest and lonely glen. Screens of white cloth fur- nished canvas on which little Amy's skillful hand depicted palace halls, or romantic scenes for lovers' tryst; and Bath's deft fingers were most apt in con- structing properties for etage ornament, and transforming the frailest material into dazzling raiment. For the cos- tumes were a serious consideration. No 'money could bo spared from the slender K urie to supply the wardrobes of these aspiring ectors, and many were the de- vices to clothe tbe little company. Thus a robe in one scene became a cloak in the next, and the drapery of a couch in tbe third ; while a bit of lace served as mantle, veil or turban, aa best suited the turn oi tbe play. Hats cov- ered with old velvet, and adorned with leathers plucked from the duster, made most effective headgear for gay cavalier or tragic villain. (From colore*, cotton wore manufactured fine Greek tunica and flowing trains; and remarkable court costumes were evolved from an old sofa covering, which had seen bet- ter di-.ys, and boasted a little gold thread and embroidery. Stare of tin, sewed upon dark cam- bric, made a suit of shining armor. San- dals were cut from old boots. Strips of wood and silver paper paper were fash- ioned into daggers, swords and spears, 4 while from cardboard were created 1 helmets, harps, guitars and antique lamps, tbat were considered tnaeter- pieces of stage art. Everything available waa pressed into Uervice; colored paper, odds and ends (if ribbon, even tin cans and their bright wrappings were treaoures to the young actors, and all reappeared as splendid properties. At (irst a store of red curtains, Borne faded brocades and ancient shawls comprised the stage wardrobe; but aa the fame of the per- formances spread abroad, contributions were made to the little stock, and the girls became the proud possessors of a velvet robe, a plumed hat adornsd with silver, long yellow boots, and a quantity of mock pearls and tinsel ornaments. Such wealth determined them to write a play which should surpass all former elVorts, give Jo a chance to stalk haught- ily upon the stage in the magnificent boots, and Meg to appear iv a gorgeoua train and diadem of jewels. The Witch'e Curse was the result, and it was produced with astounding eilVct, buite paralyzing tbe audience by ita splendid gloom. Jo called it the "lurid drama," and always considered it her masterpiece. But it coat hours of thought aud labor; for to construct a dungeon, a haunted chamber, a cavern nnd a lonely forest taxed to the utter- most tbe ingenuity of the ectors. To introduce into one short scene a bandit, two cavaliers, a witch and a fairy spirit?all enacted by two people?re- quired some skill and lightning change of costume. To call up the ghostly visions and mysterious voices which should appall the guilty Count Rudol- pho. was a task of no small difficulty. But inspired by the desire to outshine themselves, the children accomplished a play lull of revenge, jealousy, murder, and sorcery, of all which they knew nothing hut tbe name. Hitherto their dramas had been ol the most senti- mental description, given to the por- trayal of woman's devotion, filial affec- tion, heroism and self sacrifice. Indeed, these "comic tragedies" with their high-flown romance and fantastic ideas of love and honor, are most character- istic of the young girls whose lives were singularly free from the experiences of many maidens of their ege. OI the world they knew nothing; lovers were ideal beings, clothed with all the beauty of their innocent imagin- ations. Love waa a blissful dream; con- stancy, truth, courage aud virtue quite everyday affairs of life. Their few nov- els furnished the romantic element, the favorite fairy tales gave them material for the supernatural, and their strong dramatic teste enabled them to infuse both fire and pathos into their absurd situations. Jo revelled in catastrophe, and the darker scenes were her delight; but she usually required Meg to "do the love- part," which she considered quite be- neath her pen. Thus their productions were a queer mixture of sentiment and adventure, with entire disregard of such matters as grammar, history and geog- raphy, all ot which were deemed of no importance by these aspiring d ramatistß. From this little stage library, still extant, has been selected the plays that fill this book; they are fair examples of the work of these children of 16 and 17. With some slight changes and omis- sions, they remain as written more than 40 years ago by Meg and Jo, so dear to tbe hearts of many other Little Women. The Tragedies included Norna or the Witch's Curse; The Captive of Castile, or tbe Moorish Maiden's Vow ; Tbe Greek Slave; Ion; Bianca; An Operatic Tragedy; and The Unloved Wife, or Woman's Faith. No more delightful volume has been issued for the girls of 10 to 16 than this little volume by Aunt Jo, and many pairs of bright eyes will oparkle upon receiving a present of this coveted vol- ume. One of Lee and Shepard's new books in the Good Company'series iB by W. N. Murdock, entitled, "Third Hand High." Sam Hawkins, a New England farmer nearing middle age, falls heir to a mill- ion of dollars, loft by a forgotten uncle who had died intestate. He marries the minister's daughter, a vain, young girl wbo takes him for his money only, thereby playing first hand. The second hand, which plays low, is Hawkins' former housekeeper, wbose husband, however, being the third band, plays high, but is trumped by a benevolent gentleman wbo restores to Hawkins bis imperilled treasure, aiter having ascer- tained tbat Mrs. Hawkins has learned to care for her husband as well aa for his money. A man who can perceive no higher purpose in nature than the evolution of moral intelligence, may well wonder why his life presents co many experiences irrelevant to any apparent needs or results in his own character and aims. The author has evidently written the story to demonstrate thie purpose, end seee'ms satisfied should the public ap- prove the judgment of tbe publisher of thia story, then tbe enigma will in the author's case be solved. Like all copies of the Good Company series, this volume contains a moral so depicted that the reader looks at life thus portrayed with clear and intelligent eyes. Rev. Dexter Bain ie a splendid character of tbe pres- ent day, while Deacon Gleason of Birch- stock and Mrs. Sam Hawkins are inter- esting, each in their way. Windermere is a typical town of the eastern states, quiet and rural, wbose characters, like their conversations, glide along smoothly in the same old rut each day. One pleas- ing feature of the story is the almost human intelligence displayed by the pet horse, Trixy. It is a charming book to read at the seashore, or on the broad piazza in a rocker to paas away the un- eventful afternoons. All of the above books for sale by The Btoll Si Thayer Co., 130 South Spring street. In tbe Arena's list of popular as well as phenomenal books on topics of tbe present time and higher class novels, we find efforts of the younger authors rank- ing equal if not superior to tbe elder writers of thie day and age. One of tha latest publications by this enterprising company ia Where the Tides Meet, by Edward Payson Berry. The young author oi this unique book, which, iftbe public verdict shall not prononnce "brilliant,"will yet eagerly hail for tbe intrinsic interest of its contents, and the subtle charms of ita style, seems destined to carve for himself an early and exalted name upon tbe temple of fame. During bis twenty-first tear he wrote Leah of Jerusalem, a atory of the time of Paul, whose publi- cation was readily undertaken by such a veteran publisher as Randolph of New York, and which haß an exten- sive sale, even Hodder & Stough- ton of Paternoster Row, London, giving it their valuable imprimatur and greatly widened the range of its circulation. Tbe book wag well re- ceived by such periodicals aa the New York Independent and the London Athenteum; indeed, it haa scarcely bad a derogatory word, while one literary divine, in expressing his great surprise over co marked a production from so young a source, declared that he re- garded it for himself aa a text-book upon the life of St. Paul. Everywhere ita minute hietoric accuracy has been unquestioned. Oi this first venture the publisher's "reader" reported: "The style is strong, the story of intense in- terest, the atmosphere of the period well caught. I have read no like book of equal interest since tbe perusal of lien liur." In Where the Tides Meet the author's purpose ia to write a volume of general interest, exhibiting a Bide of life too little known to tbe mass of readara. The work, as the title implies, deals largely with certain phaees of the life and habits of the "lower half" in New York city, and portrays in realistic colors the relatioita which ita members not infrequently sustain to the upper classes. The ludicrous aide of the de- plorable tenement-packing system, as seen in Mr. Silas Slack, the criminal relationship exiatihg between Lawyer Hardangle and Shadow, and Robert Moreland and Recbel Underwood, and the pitiable destitution of poor Memmy, ere by'no means phantoms of this mind. Tbe author works with intense concentra- tion and surprising rapidity. He haa a third book approaching readiness for the press; A Daughter of Philiata. His versatility also reaches into the realm of poetry, where has done some work of uncommon merit. He will undoubtedly be heard from in the near future, and whether in literature or theology, his career should be one of unwonted success. Tbe publishers have produced this story of intense interest in a well printed, well bound volume, furnishing a tasty cover with neat de- sign. Gradually tbe Arena Publishing company are proving to the public that their name is truly c synonym for intel- ligence, enterprise, and marked success in the publishing world.

Macmillan & Co. announce a second edition of Prof. Goldwin Smith's bril- liant sketch of the United States, the first edition of which was exhausted in two weeks. Norman Gale, author of "Coantry Muse," hae given up his Rugby school, and intends to visit this country. He will arrive in January, will remain about a year, and willpublish a book or two while here. George Barrie, Philadelphia, has just issued the first pait of Art and Archi- tecture, the "official" work on the Columbian exposition. The work will be completed in 25 parts, each part con- taining two etchings, one photogravure and one chromo-ty pogravure. M, Jules Jacquet, of L'Ecole dcs Beaux-Arts, has been secured to superintend the art fea- tures of the work. There are 493 volumes uaed in the set- ting of the bookshop in Liberty hall at the Kmpire theater. New York. The shop ie as complete as some of the little stationery and book stores that one sees on lower Sixth avenue. ManagerCbarles Frobman bought out over one-half of a bookshop to stock Todraan's little place. Tbe audience gets only an occasional glimpse of the Bbomabury shop, but its completeness shows the thoroughness with which some managers stage a play even in details that are not intended for public scrutiny. A Hebrew translation of Daniel Deronda is coming from the press in Poland. The translator, David Frish- mann, Bays in his preface that be be- lieves that George Eliot, in writing this novel, was miraculously inspired. "Who," he writes, "taught this non- Jewish woman the lile of the Jews in all its details? Who planted in her heart the law of truth and the spirit of proph- ecy?" His answer is, that such knowl- edge could only be revealed by God. The Clyde and its scenery form the background for Mr. J. M. Barries' new novel, a book which he is writing at Thrums, otherwise Kerriemuir. The natives of Thrums are, it is said, very proud of Mr. Barriee' literary successes, though they do not give him credit for originality. They have a pet theory tbat he gets all his material from a local worthy; and that, having set down in his note-book tbe stories and anecdotes communicated by this gentle- man, he merely makes fair copies and despatches them to his London pub- lisher*.

AMONGTHEAUTHORS

L. BEHYMERSeveral weeks ago we mentioned a new

boo;: coon to appear containing comecomic tragedies', written in the early<Uvh by that benefactor oi households,Lonißa M. Alcott, dear Aunt Jo, who iaembalmed in the thoughts and loves ofthoueande of little men and womon.Roberts Bros., Boston, have just pub-lished Comic Tragedies, written by Joand Meg and acted by the "littlewomen."

In the good old times, when the littlewomen worked and played together, thebig garret was the scene of many dra-

matic revels. Aftera long day of teach-ng, sewing and "helping mother" thegreatest delight of the girls was to trans-form themselves into queens, knightsand cavaliers of high degree and ascendinto a world of fancy ahd romance. Cin-derella's godmother waved her wand andthe dismal room became a fairyland.

IFlowers bloomed, lorests aroae, musici sounded and lovers exobanged theirI vows by moonlight. Nothing was too}ambitious to attempt; armors, gondo-I las, harps, towers and palaces grew as if? by marjic, and wonderful ecenoß of valor! and devotion were enacted before ad-

miring audiences.Jo, of course, played the villiane,

ghosts, bandite and disdainful queens,for her tragedy-loving soul delighted in

ithe lurid parte, and no drama was per-fect in her eyes without a touch of thedemoniac or supernatural. Meg lovedthe sentimental roles, the tender maidenwith the airy robes and flowing locks,who made impossible sacrifices for ideal

;lovers, or the cavalier, singing Boft eer-l enades and performing lofty acts of

gallantry and prowess. Amy was thefairy sprite, while Beth enacted the page-ajbr messenger when the scene required

eWhoir aid.Yet the most surprising part of the

performance was the lengtb of the castnnd the size of tbe company; for Jo andMeg usually acted the whole play, eachoften assuming five or six characters,and with rapid change of dress becom-ing, in one scene, a witch, a soldier, abeauteous lady and a haughty noble.Tb.it peculiar arrangement accounts formany queer devices, and the somewhatsingular fact that each scene offers buttwo actors, who vanish and reappear atmost inopportune moments, and in agreat variety of costumes. Long speecheswere introduced to allow a rumen to be-come a priest, or a lovely damsel to dis-guise herself in the garb of a sorceress,while great skill was required to pre-

serve tbe illusion and astonish the audi-. esce by these wonderful transforma-tions.

Tbe young amateur of today, who caneasily call to ber aid all the arts of thecostumer end scene-maker, will find itbard to understand the difficulties oftbie little company, ior not only didthey compose their, plays, but theywere also their own carpenters, scene-painters, property-men, dressmakersand managers. In place of a well-ap-pointed stage, with the brilliant lightsand inspiring accessories of a mimictheatre, tbe "little women" had agloomy garret or empty barn, and wereobliged to exercise all their ingenuetyto present the scene of their ambitiousdramas.

But it is surprising what fine effectscan be produced with old sheets, brightdraperies and a judicious arrangementof lights, garlands and picturesqueproper ties; and Jo's dramatic taete madeher an admirable stage manager. Megwas especially handy with saw andhammer, end acted as stage carpenter-building balconies, thrones, boats andtowers after peculiar designs of her own.Bureaus, tables and chairs piled aloftand arched witn dark shawls made dun-geon walls and witch caves, or formed aback ground for haunted forest andlonely glen. Screens of white cloth fur-nished canvas on which little Amy'sskillful hand depicted palace halls, orromantic scenes for lovers' tryst; andBath's deft fingers were most apt in con-structing properties for etage ornament,and transforming the frailest materialinto dazzling raiment. For the cos-tumes were a serious consideration. No

'money could bo spared from the slenderK urie to supply the wardrobes of theseaspiring ectors, and many were the de-vices to clothe tbe little company.

Thus a robe in one scene became acloak in the next, and the drapery of acouch in tbe third ; while a bit of laceserved as mantle, veil or turban, aa bestsuited the turn oi tbe play. Hats cov-ered with old velvet, and adorned withleathers plucked from the duster, mademost effective headgear for gay cavalieror tragic villain. (From colore*, cottonwore manufactured fine Greek tunicaand flowing trains; and remarkablecourt costumes were evolved from anold sofa covering, which had seen bet-ter di-.ys, and boasted a little goldthread and embroidery.

Stare of tin, sewed upon dark cam-bric, made a suit of shining armor. San-dals were cut from old boots. Strips ofwood and silver paper paper were fash-ioned into daggers, swords and spears,

4 while from cardboard were created1 helmets, harps, guitars and antique

lamps, tbat were considered tnaeter-pieces of stage art.

Everything available waa pressed intoUervice; colored paper, odds and ends(if ribbon, even tin cans and theirbright wrappings were treaoures to theyoung actors, and all reappeared assplendid properties. At (irst a store ofred curtains, Borne faded brocades andancient shawls comprised the stagewardrobe; but aa the fame of the per-formances spread abroad, contributionswere made to the little stock, and thegirls became the proud possessors of avelvet robe, a plumed hat adornsd withsilver, long yellow boots, and a quantityof mock pearls and tinsel ornaments.Such wealth determined them to writea play which should surpass all formerelVorts, give Jo a chance to stalk haught-ilyupon the stage in the magnificentboots, and Meg to appear iv a gorgeouatrain and diadem of jewels.

The Witch'e Curse was the result, andit was produced with astounding eilVct,buite paralyzing tbe audience by itasplendid gloom. Jo called it the "luriddrama," and always considered it hermasterpiece. But it coat hours ofthought aud labor; for to construct adungeon, a haunted chamber, a cavern

nnd a lonely forest taxed to the utter-most tbe ingenuity of the ectors. Tointroduce into one short scene a bandit,two cavaliers, a witch and a fairyspirit?all enacted by two people?re-quired some skill and lightning changeof costume. To call up the ghostlyvisions and mysterious voices whichshould appall the guilty Count Rudol-pho. was a task of no small difficulty.But inspired by the desire to outshinethemselves, the children accomplisheda play lull of revenge, jealousy, murder,and sorcery, of all which they knewnothing hut tbe name. Hitherto theirdramas had been ol the most senti-mental description, given to the por-trayal of woman's devotion, filialaffec-tion, heroism and self sacrifice. Indeed,these "comic tragedies" with theirhigh-flown romance and fantastic ideasof love and honor, are most character-istic of the young girls whose lives weresingularly free from the experiences ofmany maidens of their ege.

OI the world they knew nothing;lovers were ideal beings, clothed withall the beauty of their innocent imagin-ations. Love waa a blissful dream; con-stancy, truth, courage aud virtue quiteeveryday affairs of life. Their few nov-els furnished the romantic element, thefavorite fairy tales gave them materialfor the supernatural, and their strongdramatic teste enabled them to infuseboth fire and pathos into their absurdsituations.

Jo revelled in catastrophe, and thedarker scenes were her delight; but sheusually required Meg to "do the love-part," which she considered quite be-neath her pen. Thus their productionswere a queer mixture of sentiment andadventure, with entire disregard of suchmatters as grammar, history and geog-raphy, all ot which were deemed of noimportance by these aspiring dramatistß.

From this little stage library, stillextant, has been selected the plays thatfill this book; they are fair examples ofthe work of these children of 16 and 17.With some slight changes and omis-sions, they remain as written morethan 40 years ago by Meg and Jo, sodear to tbe hearts of many other LittleWomen. The Tragedies included Nornaor the Witch's Curse; The Captive ofCastile, or tbe Moorish Maiden's Vow ;Tbe Greek Slave; Ion; Bianca; AnOperatic Tragedy; and The UnlovedWife, or Woman's Faith.

No more delightful volume has beenissued for the girls of 10 to 16 than thislittle volume by Aunt Jo, and manypairs of bright eyes will oparkle uponreceiving a present of this coveted vol-ume.

One of Lee and Shepard's new booksin the Good Company'series iB by W. N.Murdock, entitled, "Third Hand High."Sam Hawkins, a New England farmernearing middle age, falls heir to a mill-ion of dollars, loft by a forgotten unclewho had died intestate. He marriesthe minister's daughter, a vain, younggirl wbo takes him for his money only,thereby playing first hand. The secondhand, which plays low, is Hawkins'former housekeeper, wbose husband,however, being the third band, playshigh, but is trumped by a benevolentgentleman wbo restores to Hawkins bisimperilled treasure, aiter having ascer-tained tbat Mrs. Hawkins has learnedto care for her husband as well aa forhis money. A man who can perceiveno higher purpose in nature than theevolution of moral intelligence, maywell wonder why his life presents comany experiences irrelevant to anyapparent needs or results in his owncharacter and aims.

The author has evidently written thestory to demonstrate thie purpose, endseee'ms satisfied should the public ap-prove the judgment of tbe publisher ofthia story, then tbe enigma will in theauthor's case be solved. Like all copiesof the Good Company series, this volumecontains a moral so depicted that thereader looks at life thus portrayed withclear and intelligent eyes. Rev. DexterBain ie a splendid character of tbe pres-ent day, while Deacon Gleason of Birch-stock and Mrs. Sam Hawkins are inter-esting, each in their way. Windermereis a typical town of the eastern states,quiet and rural, wbose characters, liketheir conversations, glide along smoothlyin the same old rut each day. One pleas-ing feature of the story is the almosthuman intelligence displayed by the pethorse, Trixy. It is a charming book toread at the seashore, or on the broadpiazza in a rocker to paas away the un-eventful afternoons.

Allof the above books for sale by The Btoll SiThayer Co., 130 South Spring street.

In tbe Arena's list of popular as wellas phenomenal books on topics of tbepresent time and higher class novels, wefind efforts of the younger authors rank-ing equal if not superior to tbe elderwriters of thie day and age. One of thalatest publications by this enterprisingcompany ia Where the Tides Meet, byEdward Payson Berry. The youngauthor oi this unique book, which, iftbepublic verdict shall not prononnce"brilliant,"will yet eagerly hail for tbeintrinsic interest of its contents, andthe subtle charms of ita style, seemsdestined to carve for himself an earlyand exalted name upon tbe templeof fame. During bis twenty-firsttear he wrote Leah of Jerusalem, aatory of the time of Paul, whose publi-cation was readily undertaken by sucha veteran publisher as Randolph of NewYork, and which haß an exten-sive sale, even Hodder & Stough-ton of Paternoster Row, London,giving it their valuable imprimaturand greatly widened the range of itscirculation. Tbe book wag well re-ceived by such periodicals aa the NewYork Independent and the LondonAthenteum; indeed, it haa scarcely bada derogatory word, while one literarydivine, in expressing his great surpriseover co marked a production from soyoung a source, declared that he re-garded it for himself aa a text-bookupon the life of St. Paul. Everywhereita minute hietoric accuracy has beenunquestioned. Oi this first venture thepublisher's "reader" reported: "Thestyle is strong, the story of intense in-terest, the atmosphere of the periodwellcaught. I have read no like bookof equal interest since tbe perusal oflien liur."

In Where the Tides Meet the author'spurpose ia to write a volume of generalinterest, exhibiting a Bide of life toolittle known to tbe mass of readara.The work, as the title implies, dealslargely with certain phaees of the lifeand habits of the "lower half" inNew York city, and portrays in realisticcolors the relatioita which ita membersnot infrequently sustain to the upperclasses. The ludicrous aide of the de-plorable tenement-packing system, asseen in Mr. Silas Slack, the criminalrelationship exiatihg between LawyerHardangle and Shadow, and Robert

Moreland and Recbel Underwood, andthe pitiable destitution of poor Memmy,ere by'no means phantoms of this mind.Tbe author works with intense concentra-tion and surprising rapidity. He haa athird book approaching readiness forthe press; A Daughter of Philiata. Hisversatility also reaches into the realmof poetry, where has done some workof uncommon merit. He willundoubtedly be heard from in the nearfuture, and whether in literature ortheology, his career should be one ofunwonted success. Tbe publishers haveproduced this story of intense interestin a well printed, well bound volume,furnishing a tasty cover with neat de-sign. Gradually tbe Arena Publishingcompany are proving to the public thattheir name is truly c synonym for intel-ligence, enterprise, and marked successin the publishing world.
