She instantly began king in Ger- man; asked Smith how long he had been here; if he was much acquainted in New York, and spoke of several well known Germans. EVENING STAR, New Books. - ‘We are indebted to Messrs. Taylor & Maury, | booksellers, for the following new books : { Movdern Pircems. Showing the Improve- ments in Travel and the Newest Methods of Reaching the Celestial City. ‘- Thingsthat I write concerning thom that seduce you.’’— St John. By George Wood, author of ‘©Peter Schiemil in America.’’ In two vol- ums Boston: Philli, Sa & Co. New York: J.C. Derby. 1855. Our townsman, in this new work of his, bids fair to add considerably to the reputation as a writer he earned by his first literary bantling named above. This, his second effort, is, in a measure, ® parody on John Bunyan’s great work—the scenes, circumstances, and charac- ters being, however, those by which we are surrounded in this cra. His heroes are two worthy young gentlemen of wealth, evangel- ically reared, and their young wives, to whom they are in all respects suited. The author travels them in all directions—at home and in Europe—in search of knowledge, recreation, and substantial improvement. He handles the follies, vices and cheracters, in contact with which and whom his proteges are thrown, without gloves, and at times not without evinc- ing the prejudices of his own early training, evidently not much softened by experience with that portion of the world that differs widely from him. He has become a man pos- sessing much agreeable and useful informa- tion, as is proved in his every chapter. His book. which is desultory, is very unequal— many of ite paragraphs being é¢loquent, others pathetic, others repicte with keen wit and satire, and still others, again, stupid; yet, theugh few may be able to master it at a sit ting, there is so much in it of interest to the cultivated mind that its cleverness will be en dorsed by all who read to thiak, without doing which, reading, after all, isnext to a very prof- itless expenditure of time.

He told Smith his partner, Brown, was a cross, sickly old man, who had done much injury to the Ses ness by his unaccommodating manner, but that he was now obliged to leave on account of sickness, and would take 2150 for his share ix the stora. Jones then produced bis books and convinced him the concern was making from $175 to $200 per week, that the rent was ovly $700 a year, and that he intended cnlarg- ing the store soon; that there was no mortgages onit, and that all the debts he (Jones) owed was only $9. He consluded by hoping he would purchase out Brown's share at once— that day, as ho was anxious to get rid of for the reason just*given; but if he would not make up his mind to-day, he must do by the next day, as there were several persons who would purchase, if he did not. . Sinith went away in ecstasies. At Secbach’s saloon he met our ineredulous friend, Fenne- berg, and told him he was going into business with an American, and remarked how much easier it was to make an agreement with a Yankee than a German, and Fenneberg gave him a sober warning, with a sorious face, but it was of no more use than the warnings of Cassandra. The next day ho calls againon Jones with a friend. Jones tells him he made a mistake in not purchasing out Brown’s share the day be- fore. Brown, seys he is a very uncertain man, and although he offered to scil last night for $190, he will take nothing less than $260 to-day, and he seems getting out of the notion of selling altogether. Jones recapitulated the same statements to Smith’s friend that he did to Smith the dey before, and advised, confi- dentially, to buy out Brown at once. Smith said he had only $150 with him. It's po use to offer that withont another $50— Brown is an obstinate old fellow, and will not take acent less than he says, said Jones Just then Brown came in—he wasa tall, thin dark-complexioned man, with a Puritanies! face, white ueckcloth and quaker hat. Ho refused to take the $150 in a rough, abrupt way, and remarked, the business was so good he was going to put his son into the store However, he added, he might take $200 if paid down at once Smith goes with a heavy heart to the bank, draws out another $50, blaming himeelf for mt having purchased the share the night be- ‘ore. The money was all paid down. Brown sur- renders his right in the business, and Jones draws out a long partnership agreement in due form between himself and Smith; which was oxecuted with as much solemnity as if it had been a treaty between two nations. The next day an Irish woman came in for a bottle of whisky. Having broke her jug in the street, Smith handed her a corked ie of whicky from the shelf. In a few moments after the woman came in furious; she told Smith he was a cheat, a rascal, and a vile de- ceiver; that he had sold her a bottle of whis- ky, and that it was nothing but a bottle of water, and such bad water that none buta mean looking hound tike himself could have made it. Smith thought she lied. However, he gave her bask the money for the sgke of quiet, and after she left opened one or two other bottles, which, instead of being brandy or gin, were water. Smith now begins to imagine himself cheat- ed, and goes to a lawyer, who informs him there is a mortgage for $8 on the store—he then runs to the person resery bee This is another of the brood of abolition nov- els evolved by the purient excitement among flashy book-makers, growing out of the suc- cessful literary adventures of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. In other words, it is an anti- slavery story, in which ali sorts of “ whop- pers’’ are told; the shrewd writer boing im- pressed with the fact that the more extrava- gant his stories, tho more the anti-slavery folks will ** shell out’’ money for his volume. It is well written, but his descriptions of south ern life, character, habits, institutions, and principlos, are so wholly drawn upon the mod- els of the author’s prototypes, William Loyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Henry Ward Beecher, as to make the work but litile elso than a collection of gross abolition libels Japas, as it Was anv Is. By Richard Hil- dreth, auther of “ History of the United States,” &c. Boston: Phillips, Sampson & Co. New York: J. ©. Derby. We are among those who place little faith indeed -in Richard Hildreth, as a historian, wherein Ly any possible chance his prejudices may be crossed by the facts of which he writes. His history of the United States on all dis puted points, is little more-than a rehash of contemporaneous attacks and slanders on the public men of the early days of the Republic, whose policy Mr. H. does not approve. It is, therefore, not an historical work, but one of partisan warfare disguised under an histori- eal clcak. Not so with the volume before us, which is really more valuable than aught else in the Exglish language concerning Ja- pan, comprised in four times as many pages Thus, it is the result of his reading on the sub_ ject of Japan in several languages and over a series of years, wherein he sought every chan nel of information open to him, and has culled and condensed with great skill and success His book is the history of Japan as known in Europe, with such accounts of the present con- dition of the kingdom, the manners and cus- toms of its people, the history of European in- tercourse with them, &c., as could be gleaned by an industrious and learned reader striving faithfully to obtain all possible knowledge of his subject. Indeed, it is among the most useful and entertaining works that have seen the light in this country for years past, its every page, from beginning to end, (576 in all,) boing a mass—a perfect mass—of solid ia- formation concerning the country and its in- habitants just now apparently of most interest to the Unted States.
