LAKE & PRAIRIE. The Red, Red Wine,

TWENTY YEARS OF FRONTIER LIFE IN

WESTERN CANADA.

By REV. JOHN MCDOUGALL. WITH 27 ORIGINAL FULL-PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS, BY J. E. LAUGHLIN. CLOTH,

- $1.00.

MR. MCDOUGALL gives us in the 267 pages of this book a narrative of the first twenty years of his life, all spent on the mission fields of the Methodist Church. Born in 1842, in the then frontier village of Owen Sound, at 17 our author moved with his father, the noble, heroic George McDougall, to the North-West.

Full of thrilling interest is his description of the journey to Norway House. When they landed at Fort Garry, en route, he writes: "I climbed the banks and saw the walls and bastions of the fort, and looked out northward on the plain, and saw one house. Where that house stood now stands the city of Winnipeg." The succeeding chapters are alive with stories of adventure by flood and field, and will be eagerly devoured by the boys.

The illustrations-the work of a clever young Toronto artist-add greatly to the interest.

"This, as its name implies, is a temperance story, and is told in the lamented author's most graphic style. We have never read anything so powerful since 'Danesbury House,' and this book in stern and pathetic earnestness even excels that widely-known book. worthy a place in every Sunday-school and village library; and, as the latest utterances of one whose writings are so deservedly popu lar, it is sure of a welcome. It should give decision to some whose views about Local Option are hazy."-Joyful News.

Poems

"There is not a dull line in the book. of sparkling wit and humour alternate with those of deep pathos and noble thought.-The Ram's Horn, Chicago.

"Motley' comes to hand in a neat cloth cover, gilt lettered. All the gold is not, however, on the outside. The leaves are full of it

. Mr. Bengough is to be congratulated on his clever bit of work. Canada, as well as Toronto, is justly proud of him."-St. John Globe.

"He shows himself a worthy rival of James Whitcomb Riley. He is not simply a humourist; he is also a sound moral teacher. The illustrations from Mr. Bengough's facile pen add greatly to the interest of the volume. It is a readable collection of humorous, pure and elevating verse.”—Evangelical Churchman.
