C, THURSDAY; DECEMBER 6,-1555. EVENING STAR. New Books. We are indebted to the publishers, who send us through the hands of Mr. EK. Lundy, of Georgetown, a work with the following title: Grorrrer Moxcron, or the Faithless Guar. dian.” By Susanna Moodie, author of “ Roughing it in the Bush,”’ “Mark Hud- dlestone,’’ &c., &e., &e. This is the last work of a lady who is grow- ing rapidly in public favor as a writer of mod- ern romances. It was published at about the same time by Bentley in London, which fact proves that it is likely to be extensively read on the other side of the water, as here. The story is of the trials and sufferings of youthful loveliness and excellent old age at the hands of a villanous, crafty, and false legal adviser— a not uncommon theme, all general novel readers know—though in this case it is han- dled more skilfully than by most of those who have wrought out works of fiction on it. Mr. Frank Taylor has favored us with the following works, just published by Moore. Wilstatch Keys & Co., Cineinnati, vis : Tax Mercuant Vessev: A Sartor Bor's Voragss to Sez raz Worup. By tho au- thor of ‘* Man-of-War Life.” We kuow not the author of this pleasant little volume, designed principally to be read by youth. We welcome him, however, into the field of literature, as a writer who is des- tined to cheer the family circle in many thou- sand houses on many a wintry night. He writes well—admirably; that is, simply and truthful- ly, and in @ very interesting way indeed. He tells the story of the vicissitudes as well as the pleasures of the life of the boy or man before the mast, so that no youth who longs to be on the “deep blue sea,”’ or may hereafter. in cursing his stars for his ill-luck in the choice of a pro- fession, say that it was out of his power to learn precisely what he would have to en- counter on becoming asailor. The moral of his work is excellent, and its style pithy and descriptive. Man-or-War Lire: A Bor’s Experience is tne U. 8. Navy purixa 4 Vovacm aRowND Tax WoRLD IN A SHIP OF TRE LINE. This is 2 work by the same anonymous writer, av full of interest as the volume noted above, and of kindred charseter. As in the other, the noteworthy incidents of his voyage are told with charming naivete and simpli- city. He is a keen observer uf human netare, as well as of the interesting sights and eizcum- | stances with which one meets in strange lands, Though this work wes designed for the edifi- cation of dboys, we confess to have been so struck with it as that we have laid it dowa, ere completing iis peruzal, with much regret indeed, that our time is not our own, to be de voted to “‘ books which are books.’ Tare Ressian Eyring ; its Resocrces, Gov- i ERNMENT AND Ponicy.

The authoress is evidently well qualified for her task of imparting improving information to children in a very simple, and at the same time, agreeable way. This little volume will make a capital Christmas or New Year's present for boys or girls. Coxscuption.—I think it my duty to warn the heads of families against being easily per- suaded either to banish their children to Madoria or Italy, orto shut them up in warm roomsat home. It is generally a very un- necessary practice, and even worse than use- less. There is often extreme ey in it. We have already stated that Drs. Gourlay. Gordon, and Heineker, each of whom resided at Maderia, discourage us from sending patients thither, the first declaring that whole families have been swept off there by consumption. Itis a far greater consequence how the patients live out of the house and in the house, than where they live; and if poeple would only avail themselves of ail the advantages the’ enjoy in this country, they never need thin of visiting another.— Dr. Graham's Modera Domestic Medicine.
