Red-Letter Days. Anniversary, Concert, and Entertainment Exercises. By May F. McKean. New York: Phillips & Hunt. Cincinnati: Cranston & Stowe. There are tendencies of a return to old-fashioned Sunday-school exhibitions, with some modern improvements. Superintendents and committees who are in search of concert exercises and dialogues for entertainments will find in this pamphlet quite a number of excellent pieces which have stood the test of actual representation.

Memoir of Mrs. Edward Livingston. By Louise Livingston Hunt. New York: Harper & Brothers. The story of one whose life began in the West Indies, passed through many changes of fortune, from the lowest to the highest position, was brought into contact with the leading minds of half a century, and withal was gifted with rare charms of both person and mind, cannot fail of being interesting.

Two Arrows. By W. O. Stoddard. New York: Harper & Brothers. A story of Indian life, and we judge far more correct in its delineation of Indian manners and customs than many of the popular romances. The boys will enjoy reading this book, as they have enjoyed all the stories by this author.

Richard and Robin. By Mattie B. Banks. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. Genuine children are growing so scarce in the story-books that we welcome these in this charming little volume, which tells of the adventures of two brothers, beginning when Richard was six years old and Robin was almost at zero, The story is told in a natural style, and shows that the author is well acquainted with the ways of childhood.

Parables of Christ. By A. L. O. E. New York: Robert Carter & Brothers. Originally written as an aid

to the author's missionary work in India, this volume has a decidedly Oriental flavor. This, however, does not detract from its interest for readers in general, but rather adds to it. The parables are for all peoples.

Historical Lights. Six Thousand Quotations from Standard Histories and Biographies, with Twenty Thousand Cross-references and a General Index, also an Index of Personal Names. Compiled by Rev. Charles E. Little. New York: Funk & Wagnalls. This book is the result of many years' reading on the part of its writer. Originally prepared for his personal use rather than for publication, it commends itself to every man who wishes a ready reference to historical events to enable him to illustrate the subject he is studying. It will be found specially useful to public speakers and to teachers. The Index of Topics with the cross-references is very full, and contains more than two hundred pages; while the number of various topics treated extends to more than six thousand. It is a monument of the compiler's painstaking and careful labor.

Come and drink, thy soul shall live, (shall live,)Come and drink, thy soul shall live, (shall live;)

Come and drink the living water, Come and drink, thy soul shall live.

2 He that drinketh thirsteth never,

For his soul is satisfied;
He shall dwell in peace forever,
And sit down at Jesus' side.
Ho! ye, every one that thirsteth,

Christ can living water give;

You can have it without money,

Only drink, thy soul shall live.-Refrain.

3 To that fountain ever flowing,

Whosoever will, may come;
Endless life on all bestowing,
Whosoever will, there's room.
Pilgrim, haste to Zion's mountain,
Everlasting life receive;

Hie thee to that flowing fountain,

Drink. O drink. thy soul shall live.—Refrain
