Dear Mr. Ghost. By Mrs. H. M. Clifford. (Dean and

Son,)— This is a short, very prettily illustrated, well printed, and in every way delightful story of the good old Christmas kind, telling how a nice little girl who has been fed too much, perhaps, on ghastly and ghostly stories of her ancestors, stumbles on what she believes to be the spirit of one of them in the watches of the night, and is thereby the means of justice being done to a relative, and also of a poor man being restored to reason. The writer's style recalls to some extent that of the author of "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
