The Well - Spring of Immortality. By S. S. Hewlett. (Nisbet).— This

is a " Tale of Indian Life," having for its subject the diffi- culties which surround the waking of a Christian profession. The chief character -is a fakir, whose history is told in an in- teresting fashion. The slow process by which the old man was brought to accept the truth is well described. The whole is an instructive picture, executed, it is abundantly clear, by a prac- tised hand.
