LIFE AT PLUMFIELD, WITH JO'S BOYS.

By LOUISA M. ALCOTT, Author of "Little Women," "An Old-Fashioned Girl," "Hospital Sketches, and Camp and Fireside Stories." With Illustrations.

One Volume, uniform with her previous books. Price,

$1.50.

"Professor Bhaer" having opened a private school at Plumfield, Aunt "Jo," who, when a girl was half a boy herself, is now in her element with a baker's-dozen of boys around her.

This book introduces most of the characters in "Little Women," as actors in different vocations of life will be thought by the boys to be bully; by the girls to be perfectly jolly; and all their pa's and ma's will laugh and cry over it in sympathy.

PINK AND WHITE TYRANNY.

By Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, Author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "The Minister's Wooing," &c. With Illustrations.

One Volume, 16mo. Price,

$1.50.

"Pink and White Tyranny" is a crusade against fashion and folly, and the able pen which was one of the moving wedges of emancipation from black slavery, is here enlisted to liberate us from slavery of another color. Mrs. STOWE strikes home, and her thrusts will cause a flutter among the point-laces.

JUST READY.

A NEW BOOK

OF

NONSENSE.

By EDWARD Lear.

Comprising Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets. Profusely illustrated from original grotesque designs by English artists.

Square 12mo, $2.00.

Mr. EDWARD LEAR, the original nonsense man, has recently produced a new volume which outdoes his former efforts, and certainly caps the climax of delightful absurdity. Messrs. James R. Osgood & Co. have just reprinted this comical volume, which is of all books the most triumphantly nonsensical; as the Pall Mall Gazette says: "The alphabets are funny, the stories are funnier, the botany ingeniously comical, and the songs are most ingenious and comical of all. The illustrations are ridiculously clever sketches. Who chooses this book will choose well." Certainly no one will find a more amusing book nor a more humorous companion for a dull hour.

INA.

By KATHERINE Valerio.

I vol. 8vo. Paper, 75 cts.; Cloth, $1.25. "To those who are seeking for pleasant summer reading to take into the country, we heartily recommend Mrs. Katherine Valerio's novel, Ina,'-a cleverly written and highly wrought story of Italian life, of love and treachery, but pure in tone and well sustained to the end. The characters are strongly drawn, but refinement is never sacrificed to force. Its interest is not local but human, 'Ina' being the universal type of the loving and wronged woman, and her base Italian husband the man everywhere who is passion's slave, not passion's master, whose retribution is swift and sure. Refraining from extracts as sips from a glass of soda-water, we say to the American host of novelreaders, read 'Ina.'"-Boston Transcript.
