Lee & Shephard, Publishers, Boston, Mass.,^ “ That wife Of Mine,” “ His Own Mas ter,” and “ J u st His Luck.” These books are of the kind that please every body, and are found at the book stores for 50c. An exchange has the following “ His Own Master,” a story which has already won its way to the favor o f Young America. In the pages o f Ht. Nicholas, as a serial, it made an exceedingly good impression. Its reproduction in book form will bring it within the reach of those who missed it in the magazine, and of that larger number who, having read it once, desire now to preserve it. It is a wholesome and good book, and enforces excellent moral, but it is happily free from that lone of sermonizing which the average boy dreads as he does a dose of castor oil. Mr, Trowbridge enters with hearty sympathy into the spirit o f boy- life, and he is never dull, but always en tertaining. “ J u st His Luck” is an anonymous story, but it is on the approv ed model, and might have come from the workshop of Oliver Optic. A succession of astonishing scenes is kept up untirine- ly from beginning to end. The good boy “ licks” the bad boy, even as he did in the far-off days of the famous Maria Edgeworth, and he is led through a tangle of adventures to a happy and peaceful conclusion.” 8 ^ Pure Wines and Liquors can be had of P ettit & Bonney.
