KATE'S WINTER IN WASHINGTON.

with him hand-in-hand in all his plans and ambitions.”

‘Flirting is your one fault, Lily,” Kate said.

“I confess, fair saint, mea maxima culpa— doesn’t that sound learned? But I can say what few women can now-a-days—it means nothing; and my lord and master knows it.”

‘Then he is never troubled?”

“Only by a ghost! My dear, he has always been jealous of a dead man—the man, of course! Mercy! I dare say, if he had lived, he would not have been half the man Phil is; but, just because he had the luck to die, he is an angel in my eyes.”

‘One never can tell whether you are in jest; or earnest,”’ said Kate.

“Oh, my dear! I am just as much in earnest. as if I pursed a long face, and did high tragedy But, after all, Phil and I get on better than most people; we don’t quarrel, and we have lots of fun together.”

Kate, of course, had known before that there was not much affection between her friends. She was sorry, but it was too common a fact to shock her any more than it does the rest of us in similar cases.

Fond as she was of Lily, she was rather inclined to lay the blame on her. Marsden had posed before Kate in the heavy poetic style which he could so well assume, and she felt con- vinced that at least he was a sad, unhappy man, and pitied him accordingly

He had adopted the confidential dodge with her, too; and his manner was so unlike flirting, that it never occurred to her there could be anything wrong or dangerous in the intimacy into which he had led her. She pitied him, and believed that his life was a disappointment; and he told her marvelous romances, and looked up in her face with those wonderful eyes, that would have sent a thrill to the heart of his own grandmother, if she had been a perfect statue of propriety.

That in any of his schemes he dreamed of making money she never for an instant suspected. She really thought he took all that trouble for other people out of sheer kindness of heart. His own career had been thwarted and blighted; in his stories some powerful enemy, mysterious and ever-present as that diabolical X in an algebraic problem, was; meeting him at every turn, and Philip could not crush him, (though he had the means in his hand,) because the innocent would suffer. Into the bargain, he had no motive for being am- bitious—no home-interest, no one to care! Lily was the dearest woman in the world, but wholly wedded to society, capable of friendship, but not love; and he, oh, bless me! Leander or Romeo never had such gushing hearts at eighteen as this poet of thirty-five, who never put his woes in verse.

It was all delightfully sketchy and vague, and wonderfully interesting to sage eighteen, learned in Owen Meredith, and all manner of modern philosophers—at least the order who put their wisdom and misanthropy into poetry and novels.

Kate was thinking of it all while Lily talked— a little more seriously than was her wont; and loving Lily, and seeing how pretty she looked, she could not find it in her heart to blame her either, so pitied both husband and wife because fate had bound them together, each admirable, but unsuited to one another.

‘‘Bless me! where have we strayed to!” exclaimed Mrs. Marsden, pausing suddenly in the sentimental verbiage she had been talking, which sounded so fine, and in reality meant so little. ‘What Owen says of women, I suppose, is true of men,

‘Those free from faults have beds beneath the willow.’”

She sighed, then laughed in a bewitching way.

‘‘Now let us come back to the actual,” said she. ‘What are you going to wear te Mrs. Hanson’s tonight?”

With all her poetry and political ambitions, Kate was woman enough to be devoted to dress— so the pair plunged into millinery at once, and were happy.

That afternoon Harry Everett saw Kate drive past with Phil Marsden. You can tell how he felt; you know the pain and agony which any human being must endure, who sees one beloved going in direct opposition to one’s wishes and ideas of right.

Harry was not jealous, he knew Kate too thoroughly for that—but he loved her; and though in his solitary hours he could not help acknowledging that he had goaded her on by his ill-timed expostulations and attempts to draw the reins too tightly, he could not keep back the hardness and bitterness which rose in his mind.

He sauntered down the avenue, and passing Galt’s, saw Mrs. Rawson’s carriage at the door,  and just then out of the shop came the lady   herself, accompanied by Circe, and Circe laid  her pretty claws on him at once, metaphorically.

‘‘ He shall go with us, Mrs. Rawson,” said she.

‘My husband has run off with a young woman, and we will have him for cavalier.”

 ONLY A WOMAN AFTER ALL.

BY LILLIAN LOUISE GILBERT.

September 25th.—‘“Is it worth while to live?”

I must have uttered my thought, for a sweet voice behind me answered, ‘Is it worth while to die when youth and health are left?”

I was standing by the window, looking out at the shining river as it melted into the ocean miles away. I watched the reflections of trees and houses in its sparkling surface, and then saw in my own heart the reflections of the present. For the first time I considered my future.

“I am alone,” I said, bitterly, as the great tears fell on my clasped hands. ‘What does it. matter what I do, or where I go?”

Little enough, certainly, to any one; but to me the necessity of doing something for a livelihood is pressing.

I may ponder once more the events of the last few weeks, and then nerve myself to work.

I was an only child, and loved and petted as all only children are. We were wealthy, and all that wealth could do and bring was mine. I was unlike most girls, or I might have had more friends now. I cared little for society, and rarely went into company. My few companions were women, older than myself, who could teach me something, or very young girls, who, trusting me fully, came to me to confide their secrets. My shy and quiet nature I get from my mother, my desire for study and love of nature from my father.

A month ago my parents were brought home to me dead. A terrible accident had made me a penniless orphan. On examination of my father’s affairs they were found to be so much involved, that to cover all his liabilities every- thing must be sold. Our beautiful house, and all it contained, our horses, our plate, our library, our pictures, everything, in fact, that had made our home the pleasantest for miles around. The creditors were most generous in offering to accept much less than belonged to them, and allow me to keep the house. Of course, I could not consent to it; so I furnished a room in Mrs. Lane’s little house, and having a hundred dol lars left after every debt was paid, I am trying to decide what to do.

It was thinking all this made me speak the words with which this day’s record is begun.

The answer I felt as a rebuke, though it was softened by a warm kiss, and my friend, almost the only one I have now, Eliza Greggerson, stood before me.

“«My dear girl,” she said, after our greetings, “why do you despond? I know how hard life seems to you, and naturally, for life is hard sometimes.” The great, salt tears welled up into her gentle eyes, and I knew she was thinking of the two fair children who slept beside each other under the violets and moss.

“But,” she continued, “there is much to make life pleasant, even when it looks most barren. I know you will say, ‘Eliza, you have John,’ and, indeed, I have in him the tenderest, best of husbands; but my heart yearns for my children sometimes as you, who have never had them, cannot guess.

“We all have our trials, which seem greater than those of our friends; though, believe me, my dear child, that life is worth living at any rate.

“And now, dear, I will tell my errand. We have a friend staying with us for a time, and as we are intending to row on the river tonight, we want you to go with us. John said I must insist on it, but I told him you should do as you liked best. Our friend is the gentleman who bought your old home, and if you would not  like to meet him, you shall not. I do not think, however, it will be unpleasant to you. I shall  be disappointed if you do not join us, for it will do you good, I know.”

For the moment I was angry. I hated the man who seemed to have robbed me of my home. I hated my only friends who could be his friends too. I would not meet him, Then I realized how foolish I was to vent my temper  on him who had innocently bought a house, not  because it was my home, but because it was for sale, and he wanted it. I could not be reconciled to any one living there who cared nothing for it, when all associations I held dear were  centered in it. Eliza waited patiently until I said, “I will go.” She pressed my hand. I put on my hat, a light shawl, and, catching up my gloves, followed her from the room.

We walked in silence to the boat-house, where the gentlemen were to meet us.

As we came within hearing distance, the

 270 ONLY A WOMAN AFTER ALL.

delicious notes of the serenade from ‘Don Pasquale” floated up from the river-bank, and, mingling in sweetest unity with John Greggerson’s clear tenor, came the rich, deep bass of his friend. I note this, for it was the first actual knowledge I had of his existence, and it softened my heart as nothing else would have done.

After the introductions were over, we placed ourselves in the boat, and at my request we were rowed up the river to the Pines, that we might drift down with the tide. Eliza sat in the bow dabbling her soft hands in the ripples; the gentlemen took the oars, and by tacit con- sent, I placed myself in the stern to manage the rudder.

We sailed on and on, and at last Eliza began to sing; the others joined her; but I could only sink to the floor, and leaning my head against the seat, weep restful tears. It was the first moment of peace I had known for weeks, cua in its comfort I forgot all else.

The river smooth as any lake; the paling loveliness of the sky; the young moon whose radiance was just mellowing the twilight; the rubbing of the oars against the row-locks; the sweet voices near me; all faded slowly away, and I slept. How long I know not, for I was suddenly wakened by an arm being passed quickly under my head, and the boat twitching violently in another direction.

Mr. Barrington, to whom the arm belonged, said, ‘‘I beg your pardon, but we were nearly on the pier.”

I started up, and discovered, to my horror, that we had only missed running against the bridge by a few inches, and that the fault was mine, for, in my sleep, I had lost my hold of the rudder, against which my head had fallen, and pushed in the wrong direction.

I was mortified, and annoyed, for I prided myself on my skill in steering.

All the way home I was speechless, and brought the boat up to the little wharf in good style. They all walked to Mrs. Lane’s with me—I cannot call it home—as I declined going ‘back with Eliza. We parted at the gate, and ‘since then I’ve been writing these pages. Why I have dwelt so much on the trifles of this evening I cannot tell. Perhaps—but it is of no use to speculate, and I’ll go to bed.

September 30th.—The next morning, after my last writing, brought Mr. Barrington to the door with an inquiry for me. I went down to the parlor, when he said, “I am the bearer of a message from Mrs. Greggerson. As we were going up the steps last night she slipped, fell, and sprained her ankle severely; and she begs you will come over to see her, prepared to stay, if you can. I suppose she thinks John and I are not sufficiently entertaining,” and he smiled.

“Oh! it’s not that, I am sure,” I answered, and blushed at my own earnestness. “But I dare say there are many things about the house which I can attend to for her; and then Eliza is accustomed to having me near her when she is ill. I'll get my hat immediately.”

I was glad to go if Eliza needed me; but it was another day passing without any effort to ‘‘do” something, which I had told myself yes- terday I must begin, or my little stock-of money would soon be gone. Perhaps, though, I would talk it over with my friend and decide the mat- ter; and it would be something to come to a conclusion. I thought I would not go to stay all night, but would leave a bag packed, which I could send for in case I found it necessary to remain. I ran down stairs, and we set out.

Mr. Barrington is a most agreeable talker, and we had reached the house before I realized we were half-way there.

I found Eliza in considerable pain, and spent the remainder of the forenoon in soothing her nerves, and looking after the household. In the afternoon Mr. Barrington came to know if we would be read to, for, John having gone away on business, he was alone. Eliza cried out, ‘Do, by all means. I was just wishing for it; and this poor child, here, looks so tired, I would not ask her;” and she patted my hand affectionately.

Mr. Barrington came in and sat down.

“What shall it be?” he asked. ‘Fact or fiction, prose or poetry?”

“Anything,” Eliza answered. ‘Take the paper, and see if there is anything new in it. I’ve not read it for two or three days.”

He opened the sheet and read for awhile. Very soon Eliza fell asleep. Looking up, he said, ‘You are feverish and tired, and she will rest better if we are not in the room. Suppose. we go into the garden;” and rising, he held the door open for me to pass through.

On the terrace the talk turned on woman's rights.

“I hope, Mr. Barrington,” I said, in answer to a remark of his, ‘‘that you are not one of those narrow members of your sex who believe that woman’s sphere is limited by the four walls of her home; and deny her right to work out- side of it, whether she has the necessity or not. If you are, we must ever be at variance.”

“I am not so narrow as you fear. I acknowledge woman’s right to work, while I deprecate

 ONLY A WOMAN AFTER ALL.

the necessity. I think woman should have all avenues of employment open to her, which she can tread with safety.

"That a sympathetic marriage is the true and happiest condition of any woman, I believe earnestly; but, missing that, I think there are many other things in which she can find satisfaction, and, perhaps, happiness."

"What do you mean by ' avenues which she can tread with safety ? Do you mean that she wouldn't be very well able to carry a hod of bricks up a ladder without falling off?"

"Yes, partly. I mean with both physical and moral safety. Nature has imposed so many restraints on your sex that there are many things you cannot do without injury to yourselves physically; and contact with the world has a tendency-I mean a tendency merely-to roughen and harden you morally. Do you agree with this ?"

I was forced to acknowledge I did. I hate to allow there is anything we cannot do ; but I know there are many roads which must remain closed till we cease to be women.

I answered, " I do agree with you. But don't you think we are prevented from doing many things now, by law and by custom, which it would be better, under all circumstances, for us to do ? Don't you think our employments should be increased in equal proportion to the increase of demand?"

"Yes, I do, most certainly. But is the demand any larger than it has been, or is it only being more generally made known ? For my own part, I think women ought not to work at all in any capacity, or anywhere. We ought to be the providers, you the employers, if I may use the word."

"The demand is increased by one at least. I am trying to decide at this very moment what to do for a livelihood . I presume you know my history, and that I am penniless. I am ready to do something, and am willing to work hard, but I know not what to attempt. I cannot teach, or, rather, my instincts and tastes are all against teaching ; and it would be wrong for me to try to fill a place badly which some other person would fill well.

"I might- but Eliza is calling, and I must go."

So ended the first long conversation I have had with Mr. Barrington. I like him, and I don't like him. He is different from any man I have seen. I have the consciousness that he is trying to make me like him; yet when I endeavor to fix on any word or act which could give the impression, I cannot find one.

Eliza seemed so loth to let me go that night that at last I sent for my satchel, and have promised to remain till she needs me no longer, which will be, 1I suppose, as long or as short as her caprice happens to be.

It is the tacit arrangement now for the gentlemen to join us in Eliza's little sitting -room after luncheon, and we while away the hours till dinner, and then to bedtime with pleasant talk, singing, and reading. I enjoy it all, and find cach day the idea of going out into the world to struggle for myself harder to entertain. I must not let it slip from my grasp, for I doubt if I can bring it back readily. When I try to say to Eliza that I am wasting time, and must go to work, she answers in her pretty, petting way, “ Dear girl, haven't you work enough to do to take care of me? If I'm not sufficient trouble, I can easily be more. Do put those notions out of your head, for you are going to stay here for the present. " And when she kisses me, and looks so pleadingly in my eyes, I cannot say no.

If it were not for her, I would go this instant, though it will be hard to thrust behind me all this brightness, which looks like the last I shall ever have.

October 14th, 10 P. M. - The last time I wrote in this journal was, I see, a fortnight ago. That day Eliza took a severe cold from sitting in a draft. I begged her to let me close either the door or window ; but she would not, for it was very warm. Her cold brought on a fever, and she is now very ill. She cannot sleep, and the doctor says she cannot get well till she is rested. Mr. Barrington proposed to Dr. Marly that I should try to magnetize her to-night, and see if that would help her. I used to put her to sleep in fun, but I never tried in earnest. I am writing to calm my nerves, for Eliza's dear life depends on the sleep she gets to-night. Dare I try such an experiment? If I succeed, all will be well; if I fail, oh! I shall never be free from the shadow of the terrible result! I shall not fail; I will not permit my mind to consider it.

Poor John is distracted, and paces back and forth from his wife's room to the library where I am writing, looking like the spectre of the man he was two weeks since.

Mr. Barrington is very kind, and does more for us than we know. Whatever is needed is always ready, and the servants go to him regularly. When Eliza was taken ill, he proposed to leave the house and go to the village: but I asked him to stay on John's account, and he has been invaluable.

Mr. Barrington has brought me a glass of

CHEAPEST OF THE

PETERSON'S

LADY'S BOOKS.

MAGAZINE.

This popular Monthly contains more for the money than any in the world. It has, every year, nearly 1000 pages, 14 steel plates, 12 double-sized mammoth colored steel fashion plates, and 900 wood engravings- and all this for only TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, or a collar less than Magazines of its class. Every lady ought to take " Peterson." It is em phatically, The Magazine for the Times ! The stories in " Peterson " are conceded to be the best published anywhere. All the chief female writers of America are regular contributors. In addition to the usual number of shorter stories, there is being given in 1869, Five Original Copyrighted Nordlets, viz : MARIA ANTOINETTE'S TALISMAN, by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens ; THE MYSTERY OF BLACKWOOD GRANGE, by Mrs. M. A. Fleming; THE STORY OF MAGGIE, by the author of " Susie L's Diary;" LIFE AND DEATH, by Agnes James ; KATE'S WINTER IN WASHINGTON, by Frank Lee Benedict. In its illustrations, also, " Peterson " is unrivalled. The Publisher challenges a comparison between its STEEL AND OTHER ENGRAVINGS, and those in similar Magazines, and one steel engraving, at least, is given in each number. MAMMOTH COLORED FASHION PLATES Each number coutains a double size Fashion Plate, engraved on steel, and handsomely colored. These fine plates contain from five to six figures each, and excel any thing of the kind. In addition, wood cuts of the newest bonnets hats, caps, head-dresses, cloaks, jackets, ball dresses, walking dresses, house dresses, etc., etc., will appear in each number. Also the greatest variety of children's dresses. Also diagrams, by the aid of which, a cloak, dress, or child's costume can be cut out without the aid of a mantua-maker, so that each diagram in this way alone, will save a year's subscription. The Paris, London, Philadelphia and New York fashions are described, in full, each month. COLORED PATTERNS IN EMBROIDERY, CROCHET, etc. The Work-Table Department of this Magazine is wholly unrivalled. Every number contains a dozen or more patterns in every variety of Fancy-work, Crochet, Embroidery, Knitting, Bead-work, Shell-work, Hair-work, etc., etc., etc. Superb Colored Patterns for Slippers, Purses, Chair Seats, dc., given-each of which at a retail store would cost Fifty Cents. RECEIPTS FOR COOKING, THE TOILETTE, THE SICK ROOM, ETC., ETC. The original Household receipts of " Peterson " are quite famous. For 1869 our " Cook Book " is being continued, Every one of these receipts has been tested. This alone is worth the price of " Peterson." Other receipts for the Toilette, Sick-room, etc., are given.

Luncheon Cake -Two excellent luncheon cakes can be made by following these directions. One pound of flour, four ounces ofbutter, six ounces of moist sugar, a quarter of a pound of currants, a quarter of a pound of stoned raisins, spices and candied peel to the taste ; a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda mixed in half a pint of cold milk ; all to be mixed together and beaten into a paste, then put into the oven without being set to rise ; it will take an hour and a half to bake. Another : Five eggs, leaving out two of the whites, the yolks and whites to be beaten separately, the latter to a froth like snow; five ounces of lump-sugar, dissolved in a wineglass of water ; put it into a sauce-pan to boil, pour the dissolved sugar boiling to the eggs, stirring it well at the time, beat it, and when nearly cold, mix in a quarter of a pound of flour by degrees ; three-quarters of an hour will bake it. French Biscuits.-Three new-laid eggs, the weight of these in dried flour, the same weight of finely-powdered sugar. Beat up the whites of the eggs with a whisk till they are of a fine froth, then whip in half an ounce of candied lemon-peel, cut very thin and fine ; by degrees whip in the flour and sugar ; then put in the yolks of the eggs, and with a spoon mix them well together, drop your biscuits on fine, white paper, and throw powdered sugar over them. Bake them in a moderate oven, not too hot, to give them a good color. When they are baked, cut them off the paper with a knife. They must be kept dry. Derby Short-Cake.-Rub half a pound of butter into one pound of flour, and mix one egg, a quarter of a pound of sifted sugar, and as much milk as will make a paste. Roll this out thin, and cut out the cakes with any fancy shapes, or the top of a wineglass. Place on tin plates, strew over with sugar, or cover the top of each with icing, and bake for ten minutes. Rice Pound-Cake.-One pound of butter, one pound of powdered loaf-sugar, twelve ounces of flour, half a pound of ground rice, and twelve eggs. Mix as Italian bread, and bake it in a papered hoop. If it is required with fruit, put two pounds of currants, three-quarters of a pound of peel, one nutmeg, grated, and a little pounded mace. Spanish Buns -Take one pound of fine flour, rub into it halfa pound of butter; add half a pound of sugar, the same of currants, a little nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon ; mix it with five eggs, well beaten. Make this up into small buns, and bake them on tins twenty minutes; when half done, brush them over with a little hot milk. Half Pound-Cake.—Take a quarter of a pound of butter, half a pound of sugar, five eggs, and half a pound of flour. Proceed in the same manner as for pound-cakes. If currants are required, add about six ounces with the flour. This furnishes a very superior cake.

WARDROBE. Grease-Spots.- Mix powdered French chalk with lavenderwater to the thickness of mustard. Put it on the stain, and rub it gently with the finger or palm of the hand. Put a sheet of clean blotting-paper and brown paper over it, and smooth it with a warm iron. When dry, the chalk inust be removed, and the silk gently dusted with a white handkerchief. If a faint mark still remains, a second application of French chalk and lavender-water will generally remove it. If wax has fallen thickly on the silk, it will be better to remove it first very carefully with a penknife. To Clean Amber Beads.-Rinse them well in cold water, put them on a cloth to drain, and when half dry, rub them with wash-leather to brighten them: leather instead of cloth, because the amber, possessing highly-electrical properties, would, when rubbed, attract all the loose fibrous particles of the cloth or towel, which would stick to the beads, and make them more troublesome to dry and brighten. If the polish should be entirely gone, the beads can be repolished by ajweler or lapidist.

To Clean Feathers.-Dissolve four ounces of white soap, cut small, in four pounds of water, moderately hot, in a basin, and make the solution into a lather by beating it with a small rod ; then introduce the feathers, and rub them well with the hauds for five minutes. They are next to be washed in clean water, as hot as the hand can bear it.

 REVIEW O F

A NEW PREMIUM ENGRAVING.- For next year we shall have another new premium eugraving, " Our Father Who Art in Heaven." The subject is one that will appeal to every true woman's heart. The picture is large-sized for framing, (20 inches by 16 ;) is executed in the best manner; and will, we think, be more generally liked than even "The Star of Bethlehem." Every person getting up a club for "Peterson" will be entitled to a copy of this really exquisite work of art. A very little exertion will enable you to procure three subscribers and earn this beautiful picture. With a little more exertion you can get five subscribers, which secures for you an extra copy of the Magazine in addition to the engraving. Or, a larger club, at lower rates per copy. and, therefore, easier got, will be remunerated in the same way. Be early in the field, before canvassers for other periodicals get arouud. The picture will be sent, carefully wrapped on a roller, postage paid. If, however, you prefer it, we will send either of our old { premium engravings, instead of the new one, viz., " Washington Crossing the Delaware," " The Star of Bethlehem ," "Bunyan in Jail," or " Bunyan on Trial." This is a choice which no other magazine offers. If you get clubs enough you can earn all the engravings. BONNETS are worn higher than ever. The newest way of fastening the veil is with a beetle, or insect of some kind, attached to a pin, and put in the center of the chignon at the back, where the ends meet. REVIEW OF NEW BOOKS. The Horse in the Stable and the Field; his Management in Health and Disease. By J. H. Welsh, F. R. C. S. From the last London edition. With copious Notes and Additions, by Robert MClure, M. D., V. S. And an Essay onthe American Trotting Horse, and Suggestions on the Breeding and Training ofTrotters. By Ellwood Harvey, M. D. Illustrated with over eighty engravings. 1 vol., 12 mo. Philada: Porter & Coates.-This is the best-treatise of the kind which has ever come under our observation. It was written originally in London, bythe celebrated " Stonehenge," author of " British Rural Sports," etc., etc. Prior to it, republication here, Dr. McClure, a veterinary surgeon of eminent reputation, was employed to write notes to it, in order to adapt it to the American market. The result is a thoroughly comprehensive work, in which the diseases of the horse, and the reme dies for such diseases are discussed, so that, with its aid, a veterinary surgeon may, in almost every case, be dispensed with. The remarks on the management of a horse are also excellent. Dr. Harvey's essay on the American Trotter is very able. It compresses, into a comparatively short com. pass, all that can be said on the subject, and is itself worth the price of the volume to any one about to buy a horse, or already owning one. The engravings, illustrating the text, are all good. Famous London Merchants. By H. R. For Boume. 1 vol., 16 mo. New York: Harper & Brothers. - This book will be the delight of boys. Beginning with Whittington, in the fourteenth century, it tells the story of the most famous London Merchants, Crosby, Gresham, Middleton, Coutts, and others, down to our own time, ending with George Peabody, in some respects the best and most famous of them all. The illustrations are numerous and excellent. We have said it is a book that will delight boys, but we know at least one person of mature age, who has been as pleased with its chatty, anecdotical pages, as if he had still been in his teens. Rhetoric: A Text-Book. By Rev. E. O. Haven, D. D., LL. D. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: Harper & Brothers.-A very excellent text-book for use in schools. Its author is President of the University of Michigan.

Papersfrom Over the Water. By Sinclair Tousey. 1 rol. 12 mo. New York: The American News Company.―This is a collection of letters from Europe, in which the practical sagacity, which has made Mr. Tousey so successful in business, comes prominently to the front. Ilence it is that the book is different from, and in one sense fresher than, most works offoreign travel. We would recommend to persons about going abroad, and wishing not only to economize time and travel as much as possible, but to do their work thoroughly as far as circumstances allow, to buy this and one other book, " Latrobe's Six Months in Europe," and study them well before setting out. Mr. Tousey, as well as Mr. Latrobe, have been almost the first persons to realize that travelers, now-a-days, do not so much want descriptions of foreign sights, as they do intelligent hints how to see them for themselves in the best way, and with the least waste of time and strength. Having been over most of the ground which Mr. Tousey traversed, and followed nearly the same route as Mr. Latrobe, we know experimentally of what we speak. Credo. 1 vol., 12 mo. Boston : Lee & Shepard.-" This volume," says the author, "is devoted to those inquiries which now agitate the thinking world. It is committed to the care of the Christian Church. Its truths are God's, and will live forever ; its errors are the author's, and will be over-ruled, forgotten, and, he trusts, forgiven." We can add nothing to this, except to say that the work is a defence, and an able one, of the Christiau revelation. Lamps, Pitchers, and Trumpets. By Edwin P. Hood. 1 vol., 12 mo. New York: M. W. Dodd.-Under this somewhat fanciful title we have a series of lectures on the vocation of the preacher, illustrated by anecdotes, biographical, historical, etc., the result being a rather quaint, but, on the whole, interesting book. Married Against Reason. By Mrs. A. Shelton Mackenzie. 1 rol., 8 ro. Boston: Loring.-A charmingly told story, the scene of which is laid in Germany. Mrs. Mackenzie, if we are not mistaken, is a native of that country, and her novel is full of local color. We commend the tale to all who wish to while away an hour pleasantly and yet advantageously. The Hollands. By Virginia F. Townsend. 1 vol., 12 mo. Boston: Loring.-This popular writer has given us here her best work. Her novels are always true to life. But in this one, the scenery, the characters, the customs of the people, come out, even more distinctly and boldly than usual. Uncle John's Flower-Gatherers. By Jane Jay Fuller. 1 vol., 16 mo. New York: M. W. Dodd.-An agreeably written book, conveying much information on flowers, their structure, habits, etc., told in the guise of a story for children. Love and Liberty. By Alexander Dumas. 1 vol., 12 mo. Philada: T. B. Peterson & Brothers.-This is a new novel, by one of the most popular of the French novelists. It is a story of the Revolution of 1792, and very powerfully written. Countess Gisela. From the German of E. Marlitt. By Mrs. A. L. Wister. Part I. 1 vol., 12 mo. Philada: J. B. Lippincott & Co.- A very charming story, and admirably translated. The second and concluding part will follow speedily. An American Woman in Europe. By Mrs. S. R. Urbino. 1 vol., 12 mo. Boston: Lee & Shepard.-This is a journal of two years and a half spent in Germany, Switzerland, France, and Italy. It is rather above the average of such books. Philip Brantley's Life Work, and How He Found It. By M. E. W. 1 vol., 16 mo. New York: M. W. Dodd.- A ' eligious story, very well told. We think it may do much good.

 EDITOR'S EDITORIAL CHIT- CHAT. A WORD ABOUT INDIGESTION.- Dyspepsia, or indigestion,is a common American disease. We cat too much, as a people, and take too little invigorating exercise, and as a consequence pay the penalty of dyspepsia, as may be seen in our comparatively sallow complexions, and is felt by tens of thousands of us in headaches, nervousness, and other ailments. Every physician knows that indigestion is the canse of half the minor diseases to which he is called to administer. It results from various causes besides those we have mentioned. Grief, anxiety, hard study, indolence, excessive drinking, and smoking, improper food, imperfect mastication from loss of teeth, and over-feeding are the causes which usually occasion dyspepsia ; the most common of all being the use of spirituous liquors, and the habit of bolting the food. When mastication is imperfectly per formed the appetite is not so soon satisfied, and the result is, the patient continues eating, and the stomach becomes distended before he is conscious that he has had enough. Now, however, he regrets his hearty meal, as the organ, from its loaded condition, gravitates downward ; or, as it presses upward, preventing the descent of the diaphragm, and thereby obstructing his breathing, he feels considerable discomfort, and expresses himself at a loss to understand why it is he should feel such a sinking sensation, such a fluttering at his chest, after taking food. " At one time," he will exclaim, " I could eat anything; but now the slightest thing seems to disagree with me." A dilated stomach, in consequence of over-feeding, is the secret of his discomfiture, and accompanying this he may have actual pain at the pit of the stomach; he may suffer from waterbrash, or flatulence, with a torpid condition of bowels, and palpitation. Or, in addition to all this, he may be afflicted with great depression of spirits amounting to melancholy, may have the fear of sudden death, or even be disposed to suicide. Now what is the cure ? In the treatment of dyspepsia medicines can be of but little avail if the patient cannot be induced, in the first place, to depart from the habits which have been the cause of his illness. If mental emotion, anxiety, or close application to study or business be the cause, change of air, fresh scenery, and agreeable society will do much for the patient ; but if his symptoms be attributable to late hours, the luxurious table, the vitiated atmosphere of the theatre and the ball-room, he must forsake these baneful associations, at least in part, ere he can hope to derive any benefit. In a word, he must live according to the laws of nature. So must a woman, too, if she would escape dyspepsia. We say women also, for in this country the sex, perhaps, suffers more from this evil than man.

TABLE. A NEW STYLE OF TUNIC has been introduced that can be worn indiscriminately, no matter whether the dress be high or low. The material of the tunic is China crepe ; the front describes a round tablier, and at the back it forms a double panier, the whole being bordered with black velvet, and either fringe or guipure; a bodice is sewn to the tunic; it is low and square, and a wide band of black velvet replaces the berthe; short sleeves, edged with black velvet; black velvet sash, with a bow at the side, and a large velvet bow fastening up the panier. The same style is also made in white China crepe, with cross-cut bands of white gros grain, ornamented with gimp. TO MAKE LINEN WHITE.-The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, who get up their linen so beautifully white, use refined borax as a washing-powder instead of soda, in the proportion of a large handful of borax-powder to al nt ten gallons of boiling water; and they save in soap nearly half. For laces, cambrics, etc., an extra quantity of the powder is used. Borax being a nentral salt, does not in the slightest degree injure the texture of the linen ; it softens the hardest water, and, therefore, it should be kept on every toilet-table. It is advantageously used for cleansing the hair, and is an excellent dentifrice.

NO ADVANCE IN PRICE.-The Manistee (Mich.) Times says of this Magazine :-" It has steadily adhered to its original price, while a 1 others have advanced." This is true. While most of the other magazines advanced, during the war, from three to four dollars, " Peterson" maintained its old price of two dollars. That it has not declined in merit, but on the contrary, improved, anybody can see by comparing the numhers for 1869 with those before the war. That it is better, at two dollars, than others at a higher price, can be verified by placing it side by side with those others. OUR COLORED PLATES OF THE FASHIONS, remember! are engraved on steel, and not on wood, as are the fashionplates of most other magazines. Compare our plates with these elsewhere and you will see their immense superiority. If we gave colored wood-cuts, instead of these costly steel plates, we could save thousands of dollars annually. But we are determined to make and keep " Peterson" the best Magazine of its kind, in every particular, no matter what the cost.

WE HAVE RECEIVED from Turner Brothers & Co., 808 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, copies of " Pendennis," " The Virginians," " Philip” and “ Esmond," forming part of a new edition of Thackeray's works, published by Fields, Osgood & Co., Boston.
