BY PANSY. Every one who takes up this new story will have an
irresistible inclination to read the next page, and the next, and so on
until the finis. It is a peculiarity of "Pansy's" books that they have
the freshness as well as the healthfulness of the sea winds in June, and
are as natural and acceptable and wholesome. This is the explanation of
their marvellous popularity; and the explanation itself is explained by
the fact that Mrs. Alden derives the inspiration for all of her work
from a cheerful, living, trustful faith in the Master to whose service
she consecrates her best efforts. _Illustrated, 12mo_, $1.50.
Far From Home.
From the German of Johannes Van Derval, translated by Kathrine Hamilton.

By Mary J. Safford, M.D., of the Boston University, and Mary E. Allen,
