[SPAM] Lopment on the part of the masses, which shall enable

'fifth thousand,' and will no doubt be eagerly read by all the patriotic
boys and girls in the land. WAX FLOWERS. J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston.
1864. This little book contains somewhat over a hundred pages, and is
gotten up in the attractive style for which the publications of this
firm have become noted. A prefatory chapter sets forth the object of the
work, and the claims of the art. The first part treats of Wax Fruit,
giving the methods of making moulds and casting therefrom, of preparing
the wax, of coloring the fruit and giving it the proper outward texture.
The second part describes all the articles and materials required for
making even the most elaborate of WAX FLOWERS; gives the way of
preparing the wax, including its formation into sheets of any required
thickness, with all the minutiae relating to coloring, &c. The text is
clearly and simply written, and by the aid of ample illustrations
everything is made plain to the learner. It is wonderful how exquisitely
flowers may be imitated--making one wish a device for the secreting of
the appropriate perfumes. The wax once gathered by bees through many a
bower, Glows again in the form of a beautiful flower. The artist in wax
enjoys the best of opportunities for learning Botany, both analytically
and synthetically. A series of models in wax would make the ocular study
of botany possible throughout the year. The taste for wax flowers is
becoming widely extended, and high prices are brought by the finest
specimens of the art. Humanity should heartily welcome an employment
which enables many to escape the suicide of the needle! DENISE. By the
Author of 'Mademoiselle Mori.' In two vols. New York: James G. Gregory,
540 Broadway. There is a strange charm about this book. The story is
common enough, the characters have nothing original in their conception,
and yet we are fascinated by the detailed truth of the portraiture from
the first page to the last. The scenes are laid in Farnoux, a town in
the old Provencal dis
