IN GOD'S WAY, From the Norwegian of Bjornstjern^ BjORNSON. AthetKPum.—"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.

From the French of GUY DE Mau passant.
