Grace Murray : a Story. By Ella Stone. (Nisbet and
Co.)—Six pretty full-page illustrations accompany. It is a very beautiful tale, powerfully conceived, and powerfully and gracefully told through its two hundred short pages. The story is in every respect worth reading ; and we shall only quote the concluding words as a specimen
of its spirit and expression A solitary pine-tree rears its slender form in perfect symmetry and beauty from a rocky mountain-side.
All around are tokens of storm and tempest The sky is black with heavy lurid clouds; yet, somewhere beyond the clouds, the sun is shining, and its rays have caught the upper branches of the pine-tree, and light it up as with a crown of glory. It has risen above the clouds and tempests of earth into the pare light and sun- shine of Heaven."
