The Chronicles of Break o'Day, by E. Everett Howe, is the title of anew story published by the Arena Fublishing Co., of Boston. It has a local interest, since the plot is laid in this vicinity - on a farm bordering on the great swamps between Chelsea and Jackson, while the hero of jhe plot comes to the University hospital for an operation. The story is of a farmer ivlio spends his time inventing, while his farm neglected is passing from him, because of his want of attention. There is plenty of movement given the characters, so that the chronicles retain their interest to the end. "John", the sturdy farmhand, comes through troubles to be a manly hero, saving the impracticable inventor. The author of this book, E. E. Howe, lias contended against obstados that would have discouraged any ordináry man. Through poyerty, sickness and disaster he luis struggled to become an author, and he lias given to the world a book which, althoujjh it will make no sensation or créate no furore, will nevertheless be an addition to any person's library that will be prized for its true worfh. Lfke the Annals of a Quiet Neighborhood, by George McDonald, it interests intensely but does not excite. Mr. JIowe can certaiuly take hope from hia first effort. If he can produce so excellent a work from so little mat travel and preparation, he can certainly make for himself a reputation in time that will beperhaps both brilliant and lasting.
