The following arc adapted to Sunday-school libraries, as well as for family reading and general distribution. Brewer's Fortune, The, By Mary Bwinell Chellis. 12mo, 425 pp $1.50 This takes up and diecucses the entire beer question; the writer having carefully 3tudied the subject from every point of view, and it is worthy of the widest circulation. It is one of the best volumes ever written by this popular author, and shows that wealth can not compensate for evil-doing, and that the sins of the lathers are olten visited upon tnc children. Brewery at Taylorvllle, Tlie. By Mary Dwinell Chellis. 12mo, 445 pp 1.50 This book shows how much evil was wrought by the establishment of a brewery in a hitherto prosperous town, and how it brought ruin and disgrace upon those who indulged in what are called the lighter drinks. It is one of the strongest books in favor of total abstinence from everything that can intoxicate. Firebrands ; a Temperance Tale. By Mrs. J. McNair Wright. 12mo,357pp.. 1.25 It is the story of an orphaned boy, adopted by a distant relative, and subsequently the inheritor of a small fortune from an uncle, which he is then induced to invest in brewing in a country village, with an unhappy sequel alike to himself and the community.
