ture, the provision being t'at th Sisters should raise an equal sum from other sources, Unless this can be accomplished the asylum cannot be maintained; because the fame of its good works, while it will not support it, brings hundreds more destitute waifs of humanity to the door. We hope, therefore, that the good Sisters will be able to raise the required amount, and a great deal more, by this fair. Tie boundless liberality of our citizens, combined with the sweet ministra- tions of th» ladies and the blessing of God, ought to accomplish all that is desired for this most excellen) charity. Tmmigration at New York and Sau Fran- claco. Official returns made to the Bureau of Statistics show that the total number of immi- grants arriving at the port of New York during the quarter en ting September 80, 1870, was 61,197, of whom 29,175 were males and 22,022 females; 12,725 were under twelve years of age, 32,204 were from fifteen to forty years ‘old, and 6,268 were over forty, Great Britain sent 21,529, The immigrants from the German States and from Sweden, Norway and Denmark continue, as for several years past, largely to outnumber those from Ireland. France sent 989, amoag whon it is probable that compara- tively few sought to escape military service, while many, doubtless, belong to that class of experis—s‘illed workmen—who, when de- atroyed by war, cin be replaced only by loag years of peace. Some of this class were induced to come here by American houses, which foresaw how liable their regular supply of importations from France were to be cut off by the war. The majority of the European immigrants were, as usual, laborers, being 10,208 in number ; 1,202 were merctants, 1,000 mechanics, 1,991 farmers, 872 miners (indicat- ing the increased demand created by the development of American mines), 77 clergy- men, 39 physicians, 77 engineers, 42 jewellers, 47 artiss, &e. The occupations of 10,522 men and of! 20,480 women were not specified— an omission of serious statistical importance, While only three immigrants arvived at New York from China and Japan—surely not enough to alarm John Swinton and the other Opponents of Chinese immizration—2,598 of the 8,172 immigrants who arrived at the port of San Francisco during the three months pre- ceding the 30.h of September wera Chinese. They were mostly laborers, and they will- find bnough work to do, | he Beautics of the New Wyoming. Campbell, with a poet’s license, invested “delightful Wyoming” with a thousand charms More accurately attributed by geographers to tropical regions. His imagination made the flamingo disport like a meteor on its lakes, preated ‘‘hilis with high magnolia over- Brown,” and stocked the intermediate valleys, their good savannas, green and odorous woods, with a rare collection, inciuding happy Bhepherd swains and their flocks, lovely flancing maidens, the wild deer, the beaver, the buffalo, the sportive dog, the cougar, ‘‘the procodile, the condor of the rock,” and we know not what else, But Campbell’s most plowing description of ‘fair Wyoming” on Busquehanna’s side pale their ineffectual fires before the surpassing splendor of the picture which Professor Hayden, the United States Geologist, who has lately completed his ex- ploration of the Territory of Wyoming, gives of its Eden-like beauty and fertility. This few Wyoming, in the Rocky Mountains, encloses the beautiful sources of the Missouri, and underlying its rich soil is inexhaustible wealth of coal and precious minerals. Above all, the women of Wyoming having decided the first election of a Congressional delegate from this Territory, and woman suffrage hav- {ng thus been fairly established there, Wyo- ping is also full of enchanting prospecis as She new paradise of woman’s rights, Personal Intelligence.

New York: Harper & Brothers, Tue Saws, New York:: D. Appleton & Co. Death struck a cruel blow to literature when tt took away Dickens before the completion of this novel, In “The Mystery of Edwin Drooa” the great Novelist bad entered into @ new field. We cannot sf; thatin tha fragment vefore us the characters drawn are superior to those which have made his Other Work’ famous; for they are not, perhaps, equal to Buch Conceptions as can be found in “David Cop- pertiela,’’ “Dotubey and Son," “Martin Chuzzlewtt,”? “Nicholas Nickleby," &c, But this novel promised to be more finished and more artistic than any of the bovels in the whole range of Dickens’ works, What itlacks In ease—for it bears undoubted evidence of care and labor—is more than made up in the constructive skill displayed, The hanlof a great artist is seen in every chapter. From the opening scene, Where the opium sinokers are described, to the last lines, written but a few minates before the author died, the story Is of absorbing interest, No person can read the fragment without feeling the deepest regret that the mystery must remain a mys- tery forever, and that we must never know what fate betél Edwin Drood, By Charles LIFE AND ALONE, Boston: Lee & Shepard. “Life and Alone” is a much better work than can be found im the ordinary run of semi-relgious novels, The avonymous authoress—we take the liberty of supposing the writer to be 4 womman—dis- Plays marked powers of depicting character, al- thougn it wust be said that her heroine, Euith Mer- ton, [8 one of those gitis we never saw in real life She ts aitogetier an ldval belag, but still one which whl command the interest of the reader, The ob- Ject of the story Is to inculcate moral prineipies; to demonstrate that punishment Is finally meted to the Wrong doer, no ingtter how many years Justice may permit him to tive janisied, There is nothing in the book, however, Of the stereotyped moral senti- ments and reflections which make most religious novels bores and terrors to all but meiancholy, Puri tanical mortals.

Ris stories abound in inctdents, narrated in clear, simple language, which can- not ve mistaken by chiidren old enough to under- stand the meaning of ordivary English words, In addition, the stortes themselves are excellent as Uterary productions, All the adventures of the imaginary little ones are descrived with animation and contain lessons of morality and self-re.iance which must all the more firmly impress themselves upon the minds of children because they are given in the agreeuble form of romance, and not in the— Wo children—sombre aspect of expected daties, By Jacob Ab- Tae BEckoNING Series. By Paul Cobden, Lee & Suepard, Of this series we have received two volumes respectively entitled “Who Will Win?” and “Going On @ Mission.”” As the titles of the sertes and books indicate, the object is to point out to the young the true path of life for them to pursue, Both stories are well writ- ten and very interesting, but we think that they are somewhat too long for children, We would sug- gest to the author, Wao has already won @ deserved reputation a3 a writer of juveuile books, to make iis tutare works shorter, He must remember that children, as a rule, prefer short stories to long ones. At the same time we must repeat that both these volumes are worthy of praise, Boston: Litr.e Prupy’s FLYAWAY SERins, Boston: wee & Shepard, We have received two volumes of this series, one entiiicd “Prudy Keeping House’ aad tne other “Little Folks Astray.’” Both are good, Sophie May writes as if possessed of an intimate acquaintance with the literary tastes of children, as, from a peru- fal of her entertaining little volumes, we have no doubt she does, By Sophie May.

B.C. Sainue! : Lee & Sheyard, This series contains six stories, entitled Adele,” “Erie,” “Herbert,” ‘Nettie'’s Trial,” “Jonnstone’s Farm” and *f£naisfellen.” Each volume is com- plete 1n itself, and, coliectively, the series forms one of the bes¢ for children that we have seen, The sto- ries are admirably written and possess the important merit of being short and simple, As with most books of the kina, they aim to teach moral lessons, and we think the: well calculated to attain thew end, As literary productions they are also deserv- ing of commendation. Mrs. Samuels writes in @ most agreeable styie, which cannot tail to please the juveniles, for whom her stories are intended, Rou.o AND Lucy Books OF Poetry. Three vol- um : By Jacob Abbott. New York: Dodd & Mead, We have here three volames, handsomely printed and enclosed in chaste and elegant green, black and gold binding, which are entitled, respectively, “B.rst,” “Second” and Third” Rollo and Lucy Books of Poetry, Each contains selections from the works of the most ceievrated poets and from other poetical writers whose proluciions possess merit, The first book ts intended for reading to very young children, tae second for chilaren more advanced in years, who can read and under- stand for themselves, and the third for stil older children. On the whole we think the seiections ex- cellent. They not only enable the young to study poetry in a pleasant manner, but they also give to each reader a Knowledge of the most noted ot the Poets and a clear idea of their several styles of poetry, We Neartity commend the series, Tue House on Wueers; or, the Stolen Child.
