COMMON-SENSE IN THE HOUSEHOLD:

A Manual of Practical Housewifery,

BY

MARION HARLAND,
Author of "Alone," "Hidden Path," "Nemesis,” &c.
Price,

One vol. 12mo, cloth.

$1.75.

The great popularity achieved by Marion Harland as a writer of fiction, will ensure a most cordial reception for this volume, in which she ventures into another and different region, that of plain matter of fact. It is a summary of many years' practical experience in her own home, and her "Fellow Housekeepers, North, East, South, and West," to whom it is very appropriately dedicated, will everywhere welcome it as a hand-book of Domestic Economy, and a guide to proper management of their own homes. A considerable part of the work is devoted to receipts for the preparation of various dishes, a very large proportion of which have been practically tested and approved by the author herself. In conrection with these are given plain, familiar, and spicy talks upon "Company," Servants," the "Sick-Room," the "Nursery," and kindred topics. These chapters are all written with that ease only acquired by long practice as a writer, and the work throughout is inspired by that purpose, which has been the uniform aim and the secret of the success of all of Marion Harland's writings-to show the dignity of needful labor, and the beauty, grace, and sacredness of what is called 'Common Life," as it is developed in our American homes.

NEW BOOKS.

CONDENSED NOVELS. BY BRET HARTE. New and Enlarged Edition. One vol. 16mo. Uniform with "Poems" and "The Luck of Roaring Camp." With Illustrations. $1.50.

This edition contains, besides the matter of the previous issues, Condensed Novels in the style of Charles Reade and Mr. Disraeli. These, like the other parodies, are done with so remarkable skill as to justify the assertion of the Hartford Courant, that Mr. Harte's "power of imitation is a sixth

sense."

THE HOUSEHOLD TENNYSON. The Complete Poetical Works of ALFRED TENNYSON. One vol. 12mo, bevelled edges, and handsomely stamped. With fine Portrait and 60 Illustrations. $1.75. Author's Household Edition.

This popular edition contains all the poems included in previous American editions published with Mr. Tennyson's sanction; also, some poems which he has omitted from late editions, but has consented to have reproduced in this issue; and others which have appeared recently in English periodicals. It is therefore absolutely complete, and is THE ONLY COMPLETE EDITION OF TENNYSON'S POEMS PUELISHED IN AMERICA WITH THE AUTHOR'S CONSENT.

It is embellished with a fine Portrait and Sixty Illustrations, and is far the most desirable of the popular editions of Tennyson.

PIKE COUNTY BALLADS, and other Pieces. By JOHN HAY. One vol. 16m0. $1.50.

"

The dramatic power, picturesqueness, and pathos of "Little Breeches," "Jim Bludso," and 'Banty Tim," have made Mr. Hay's name known throughout the English-speaking world. The other poems in this volume are worthy of the author's fame, and will be welcome to his numerous admirers. OUR EYES, AND HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. By HENRY W. WILLIAMS, M.D., Author of "Diseases of the Eye," etc. One vol. 16m0. $1.00.

A book of practical character, by one of the most distinguished of living oculists, giving important information and suggestions concerning the use and care of eyes. It is intended for the benefit of all who can read, and is simple and popular in its style.

ALFRED THE GREAT. BY THOMAS HUGHES, Author of "Tom Brown's School-Days at Rugby," " ""Tom Brown at Oxford," etc. With Illustrations and Map. One vol. 16mo. $1.50. "Mr. Hughes has indeed written a good book, bright and readable we need hardly say, and of a very considerable historical value."—London Spectator.

TEN GREAT RELIGIONS. By JAMES Freeman Clarke. One vol. large 12m0, $3.00. This book treats the great systems of religious faith which have held, and some of which still hold, commanding sway over the hearts of mankind. The Classic Mythology, the teachings of Confucius, Zoroaster, and Mohammed, the characteristic features of Brahminism and Buddhism, the Mosaic doctrine and ceremonial,-these and other dominant religious systems are described, and their relations to one another and to Christianity are indicated, with the great learning and the remarkable catholicity for which Mr. Clarke is distinguished. It is a work of great value, and written so simply and clearly as to interest all thoughtful readers.

NEW BOOK OF NONSENSE. Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets. With 148 Nonsense Illustrations. By Edward Lear, $2.00.

A TERRIBLE temptaTION. BY CHARLES READE. Part II. Paper, 25 cents.
