It was simply impossible to hide any longer the melancholy fact that Miss Alcotts Little Men were growing up; they have refused to remain the charming boys they were when we read about them in said book. Like other boys of the same generation, they were fast becoming men, and we shall soon lose sight of them in the crowded ranks of mature life. It is very pleasant, therefore, to have another glimpse of them in Jos Boys and How They Turned Out. Of course everybody who knew Little Men felt that with such a training and such surroundings they could not but turn out well, but everybody will rejoice to read the record of their growth and progress toward manhood. Their later story will be read by the same readers who were fascinated by the earlier record of their mingled sobriety and mischief, for the very good reason that these readers have grown up with the boys themselves. Miss Alcott has not lost her skill, and she makes her older boys quite as interesting and charming as the younger boys were. Altogether, her last volume, like its predecessors, is pre-eminently natural, healthful, and fascinating. It is one of the books for young people that long remained current at the bookstores.

Miss Alcotts collection of stories for Christmas was called Spinning Wheel Stories. The first story in the book, Grandmas story, relates an incident with wolves which happened in New England. Miss Alcott has become an adroit story teller . As one reads the vivid story of this wild race with wolves, he holds his breath with fear, because it seems so real.

The title of this second volume in the Aunt Jos Scrap-Bag series is imposed upon a record of the authors journeyings in Europe, which might as appropriately have been called " Lunch Box," or " Sherry Flask," so far as the uninformed reader is concerned. In due time, however, he is apprised that the title "Shawl Straps" is supposed to indicate that the travelers for there were three of them abandoned their baggage train and made their campaign with personal equipage as meagre as that of Gen. Grant in his movement against Vicksburg one clean shirt and a tooth-brush. In fact, the three lone females did, at a certain stage in their journey, desert their "Saratogas," and for a season travelled in light order. That this season was a brief one, it is hardly necessary to say; a woman divorced from her trunken voyage, presents one of the most painful exhibitions of anguish that human nature ever affords. It is worthy of note that the chapters of the book which treat of this trunkless we had almost said truncated time, are far less spirited and jolly than their associates which deal with a period of habilimental opulence, and reflect faithfully the serene and self-satisfied condition of the authors mind.

Merely to intimate that are other stories by Miss Alcott than Little Women will be sufficient to set the world of juvenile readers on tip-toe with pleased expectation, and those who are fortunate enough to become the possessors of "Jack and Jill" will surely not be disappointed. If it is not equal to " Little Women," it at least surpasses all other stories from the same pen, in that delightfully real manner of painting child-life which has made the authors name a household word not only in England and America, but in France, where her works have been translated and met with a wide sale. In the days when good juvenile literature is so general, it is pleasant to meet with books of such exceptional merit books which may already be fairly ranked as classics. "Jack and Jill" is undoubtedly one of the best stories for young people.

This is a gathering up into book form of stories previously published in magazines at a time, when the health of the author being such that she was forbidden the work of preparing new ones. There are eight in all, of which only The Barons Gloves has not before appeared in print. To most of the young folks they are new, and will be greeted with the welcome which is always accorded to anything of Miss Alcotts. The demand for childrens stories is not likely to grow less in our day, and though it is needless to speak with approval of this authors work, we will yet say that we may accept the fact of this demand with more ready cheerfulness, when we consider that if any boy can read, in this book, My Red Cap, without getting a better understanding of what it is to be true and manly than he ever had before, or any girl read Psyches Art, and not see, lying right in her path, the way for her to be a genuine woman, they are not fair samples of the boys and girls of the present reading public

Miss Alcott has won a wide circle of readers with Little Women and other famous books. The hero of this story is a circus boy, who escapes from his oppressors and finds a shelter in a manor-house. Here he comes into contact with other children, and with her usual felicity in describing child life, Miss Alcott tells his adventures and those of his dog. It is a clever story, and will take first rank among juvenile as well as adult readers.

The story tells how Rose, who has been recently orphaned and must now reside with her maiden great aunts, one of the most winning heroines in juvenile fiction, and her seven boy cousins, get into scrapes, mischief and all kinds of fun.

This book purports to be a record of the adventures of a spirited maiden, who served her country in the hospital with the same cheerful spirit New England girls are noted for manifesting at home. The sketches are almost a literal reproduction of Louisa May Alcotts letters to her family and were hastily written, and with little regard to literary execution, but they are fresh and original, and, still more, they are true, and they appeared at just the time the public wanted them. Every heart was longing to hear not only from field and camp, but from the hospitals, where sons and brothers were tenderly cared for. The generous, hopeful spirit with which Miss Alcott entered into the work was recognized as that which animated the brave corps of women who answered so promptly to their countrys call, and every loyal and loving heart vibrated in unison with the strings she touched so skillfully.
