IN GOD'S WAY.From the Norwegian ofBjörnstjerne Björnson.
Athenæum.—"Without doubt the most important and the most interesting work published during the twelve months…. There are descriptions which certainly belong to the best and cleverest things our literature has ever produced. Amongst the many characters, the doctor's wife is unquestionably the first. It would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined than this charming personage."
PIERRE AND JEAN.From the French ofGuy de Maupassant.
