BY JAMES HALL, Author of "Legends of the West," &c. We have just risen from the perusal of the Soldier's Bride. The impression it leaves upon the mind is like that which we receive from the sight of a landscape of rural beauty and repose-or from the sound of rich and sweet melody. Every part of this delightful tale is redolent of moral and natural loveliness. The writer belongs to the same class with Irving and Paulding ; and as in his descriptions, characters and incidents, he never loses sight of the true and legitimate purpose of fiction, the elevation of the taste and moral character of his readers, he will contribute his full share to the creation of sound and healthful literature.

By the Author of the Young Man's Own Book. of the size and in the style of the Young Man's Own Book. TALES OF MILITARY LIFE, Second Series.-By the Author of the Subaltern. From the London Literary Gazette." The writer of the Subaltern has an imagination to create, as well as an eye to see; he flings off a picture with equal vividness and effect, whether it be the mere creation of his fancy, or painted from the recollection of what he has seen; on the whole, the work will greatly add to the reputation of the author. The companions of Burgoyne in the campaign of 1777 (if any still survive) will recognise in the tale entitled Sarotaga, the best, perhaps the only readable narrative of that portion of military history."
