The Use of Talents, by Mrs. CAMERON, is a religious

tale for young persons. Its object is to exemplify " the use of talents" in contributing to the means and enjoyment of life, and the hollow- ness and instability of worldly pleasures nod prosperity. It is cleverly written, but in too sectarian and exclusive a spirit to re- commend it to general perusal.
