Literary Mention. 
Over The World. From the well known publish¬ 
ing house of Bradley & Co, Philadelphia, Pa., we 
have received a handsome volume of nearly 900 fine¬ 
ly printed pages under the above title. It contains a 
large number of most interesting narratives of Cele¬ 
brated travelers and explorers, illustrating hnman 
life, character and ideas among many nations, to a 
fuller extent, perhaps, than has ever before been at¬ 
tempted in a single volume. It is as it were a library 
in itself, as it affords the charm and relief of variety 
in its manner of presenting in its narratives and ex¬ 
periences the gathered knowledge of many different 
individuals in various climes. Among the more in¬ 
teresting exploits may be mentioned, “The first voy¬ 
age around the World,” “A Summer in Scotland,” 
“Sufferings of Austrian Explorers,” “Peasant Life 
in Sweden,” “Five Years an American Soldier,” 
“Arctic Explorations,” from the voyages of the 
Northmen, A. D , 875, to the voyage of the “Jean¬ 
nette.” 1882, “Home Life Among the Japanese,” 
“India, its past and present,” “An American Boy in 
Germany,” “Howitt’s Journey to Bohemia,” “Life 
and Death on the Ocean,” “Life in New Zealand, 
Ac., In fact the manners and customs of nearly 
every people on the Globe are here portrayed. The 
work abounds with numerous full-page illustra¬ 
tions and will give its careful readers a more ex¬ 
tended idea of foreign usages than any one person 
could gather, were he to spend his whole lifetime in 
travel. The volume is to be sold only by subscrip¬ 
tion, and its publishers are advertising for agents to 
introduce it. 
Practical Forestry. By Andrew S. Fuller. The 
subject of protecting and preserving our American 
forests is attracting the attention of our wisest legis¬ 
lators in the land, and every year the best informa¬ 
tion on the subject is sought for by those who fore¬ 
see the destruction of the entire native forests, un¬ 
less protected by law. In this work the author gives 
not only his own ideas as to the value of the forests 
of the country and the necessity of preserving them, 
but a great amount of information of value to those 
who are interested in the subject of tree-planting 
whether for pleasure or profit. The work contains 
some twenty-eight chapters devoted to the following 
subjects: Influence of Forests on Climate,’Charac¬ 
teristics of Trees, Raising Trees from Seed, Budding 
and Grafting, Transplanting, Pruning, Best time to 
cut Timber, Importance of a Supply of Wood, Pres¬ 
ervation and Management of Forests, &c. While 
this work contains some 300 pages and is finely illus¬ 
trated it is published at a price that places it within 
the reach of all. and as the Author says, “will not 
even deter the Summer tourist, wdio is about to spend 
a few days or weeks in the country, from dropping 
a copy into his grip-sack before leaving home.” We 
regard it as an able work by a practical man, and 
one well worthy a place in every farmer’s library.

Major Ben. Perley Poore still continues his farm 
talks in the American Cultivator and always finds 
something new to talk about. His Reminicences of 
Public Men is also an interesting feature. Stock 
Raisers all like the Cultivator and well they may for 
we know of no paper better versed in this particular 
than this.

your pathway. Published at Lowell, Mass.
