A Loyal Heart. By Marion Andrews. (Gardner, T)arton, and Co.)—Hannibal

Muren is a Cornish lad, who, after many efforts, obtains his grandfather's consent to follow a sea life. The story tells what are the consequences of this change, how weakly Han- nibal behaves, and how Miriam Carnello, whom the lad's grand- parents have adopted, stands loyally by him, and helps him out of the difficulties into which he has brought himself. This is a story with an excellent moral and well told.
