It is a bloody and terrible record, and it is curious in reading it to note the alterations in the story which the art of Wagner has introduced while keeping in the main to the original outlines. The Valkys play no part in the drama; Siegmund and Sieg linde are an ordinary king and queen; Siegfried is not nourished and educated by a mythological dwarf in a cave; he does not snatch his bride from a circle of flames. Only the original elements survive — human passion, human misery, retribution, remorse; on these themes the old song-writer and the modern master of music built differently, but with equal security of result. [The Macmillan Co. $2.50.] We give a guess that Glimpses of God, a volume of sermons by Rev. B. G. Newton, were "printed by the author" because no publisher could be found for them. They are of no extraordinary merit. Dr. George W. Clarke's Harmony of the Acts of the Apostles is an interpretation of that book according to the views and principles of the Baptist denomination. It has some ingenuities of plan and arrangement. The Scripture text is first printed consecutively, with a border at the bottom of each page of citations from every part of the Scriptures; and fully half of the book is occupied with notes upon the text and with the epistles in full. The whole makes a convenient and suggestive handbook of the New Testament, minus the gospels. There are no illustrations, but there is a fairly good colored map of St. Paul's journeys. [Baptist Pub. Society. $1.25.] Exactly what Mr. J. B. Yeats's Secret Rose may mean no reader will exactly be able to determine, or, rather, every reader will imagine a meaning for himself, and all the meanings will be different. The book is a collection of short Irish "Pastels" or visionary tales, all weird, uncanny, and subtly framed, many of them having a singular sort of charm, which is half-mystery and half-hint. Mr. Yeats believes that poetry and romance cannot be made by the most conscientious study of famous moments and of the thoughts and feelings of others, but only by looking into that little, infinite, faltering, and eternal flame that one calls one's self. When one looks into the darkness there is always he adds. These little strains in prose are, there-tist Principle in Application to Baptism and the fore, as it were, "looks into the darkness," and the half-seen things which are descried have a formless fascination. They remind one of some of the shorter songs of Franz-a melodious thought, set in a tiny framework of music, ending almost as soon as it begins. As a specimen of these "songs without rhyme" we will instance" The Heart of the Spring," a wild yet simple little "motif" with but two characters in it, which sings itself to the reader's ear as he reads.

Baptists who want to be confirmed in their convictions, and non-Baptists who want to be irritated, will find it worth while to read this keen, incisive, and forcible, if not convincing, polemic essay.

NEW EDITIONS. There is a third edition of Popular Readings in Science, by John Gall and David Robertson, the subjects of which are strictly technical, the style of which is somewhat severe, and the whole of which is addressed to the student rather than the average reader. Science moves so fast now, too, that papers of some years standing are in danger of being left behind. [Longmans, Green & Co. $1.50.] Mr. Edward Arnold has cut down the mar gins, cheapened the paper, and so reduced the size and cost of Slatin Pasha's Fire and Sword in the Soudan, in which form it is likely to enjoy a wider circulation than in the considerably more expensive form in which it was originally published. As readers of last year will remem ber, this is a spirited and graphic narrative of a soldier's adventures in the heart of Africa, and abounds with exciting situations and thrilling experiences. There are maps and illustra tions, and for all practical purposes this edition is as good as the earlier.
