Menzikoff. Translated from the German of Gustav Nieritz, by Mrs.

Alexander Kerr. (Religious Tract Society.)—This "story founded on fact" narrates the rise of the Menzikoff family. Alexander Menzikoff was not by any means a blameless person, nor does Nieritz attempt to hide his faults, or at least some of them, his insatiable greed of money, for instance. Still, the tale of his rise and fall is a highly picturesque narrative, and well worth the telling.
