The Treasure in the Marshes. By Charlotte M. longs. (National

Society.)—This is a story of treasure-trove." There are two finds. One is made by honest people ; the other by people who, if not exactly dishonest, are certainly not high-principled. The issue of the two incidents is skilfully worked out, with the result of enforcing in a very fresh and lively way the familiar moral of "Honesty is the best policy." The character of Kate, a girl by no means perfect, but disciplined into becoming a useful member of society and a good Christian, is particularly well worked out.
