The Apostle of the Alps. By the Author of "Moravian

Life in the Black Forest." (Hall and Co.)-This story, which is, we imagine, designed principally for young readers, is a pleasantly-written version pf the building of the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard, and of the life of its founder. How far there may be legendary or historical authority for all its incidents is a point which we do not pretend to decide ; but, at any rate, the narrative is well told and interesting, and does credit to its author.
