GREEN. It is a very interesting document, and contains twenty-six illustrations, ten of which are photographs of interesting portions of the great Park. Two maps of the Park are also included, one showing the locations of all the drives, rides, paths, lakes, tunnels, transverse roads, gates, etc.; the other represents Manhattan Island above 155th Street, including Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and indicating the sites of all the buildings and other objects of note within those limits. The Commissioners continue to deserve-as they will continue to receive-the warmest thanks of all New Yorkers who are justly proud of their beautiful Park.

SILVER WINGS. A New Sunday-school Music Book. Small quarto; pp. 128. Price, 50 cents. Boston and N. Y.: Oliver Ditson & Co. Its appearance is timely, for since the death of the lamented Bradbury there has been a drouth of really good and appropriate Sabbath-school books. "Silver Wings" is a fit companion for his "Golden Chain." We cordially commend it to the notice of every friend of the Sunday-school.

PIANO AND MUSICAL MATTER.

By G.

de la Motte. One vol. ; quarto; pp. 122; boards; tinted paper. Price $250. Lee & Shepard. These enterprising Boston publishers have broken out in a new field. Oliver Optic and his brood of juveniles was not enough. But are they not now treading on the ground of Oliver Ditson & Co. by publishing musical books? We will suppose that a mutual understanding exists between the competitors. This work, however, will be acceptable to all who play the piano.

MENTAL ARITHMETIC; Combining a complete System of Rapid Computations, with correct Logic of the Solutions of Problems, and the Analysis of Processes. By John H. French, LL.D. 12mo; pp. 180; board. Price, 50 cents. New York: Harper & Brothers.

Here are "exercises" to puzzle and develop the minds of little folks. If these lessons were given out in the way of evening entertainments, they would prove vastly more useful to children than fairy tales, romances, and exciting stories. This mental arithmetic will prove a source of profitable instruction where adopted.

HOPEDALE TAVERN. And What it Wrought. By J. William Van Namee. 12mo; pp. 252; cloth. Price, $1. New York: National Temperance Society.

A tale of temptation and woe. Oh, the weakness of poor human nature, that can not say No, when silly woman puts wine to its lips! Let every child read "Hopedale Tavern," and be resolved. NAST'S ILLUSTRATED ALMANAC FOR 1871. Octavo; pp. 72; pamphlet. Price, 25 cents. New York: McLoughlin Bros.

Our American Doré, Mr. Thomas Nast, has made an illustrated almanac which takes the lead of any comic effort before attempted in this country. Those addicted to fits of melancholy should invest twenty-five cents in this laughter-provoking affair. MICHAEL RUDOLPH, The Bravest of the Brave." By Miss Eliza Dupuy, anthor of "Planter's Daughter," "Was He Guilty? or, The Warning Voice," etc. One vol.; 12mo; pp. 481; cloth. Price, $1 75, or in paper $1 50. Philadelphia: T. B.
