LAMBORN CoCK.-A clear and well-arranged Catechism on the Rudiments of Music and Pianoforte Playing, by Ellice Jewell, can be confidently recommended to teachers of music and students, as it contains much useful information conveyed in a simple form.- A group of songs for the drawing-room, of average merit, are: Slumber Song and Consolations, music by W. Maynard; the words of the ...

... THE publication of a new novel by Lady Duffos Hardy is a matter of interest for a very large circle of readers. Beryl Fortescue (3 vols.: Hurst and Blackett) will be all the more welcome by reason of the length of time which has passed since the appearance of her name on a title page. nor will any anticipations based upon the merit of her former works be in any respects dis- appointed. Her ...

... ?? ?? .. ONE thinks so habitually of Fichte as the great Ego, the uncompromising Transcendentalist, that one is startled when ProfessorAdamson, inthenewvolumee of the Philosophical Classics (Blackwood) speaks of him as a man of action rather than of thought. No doubt, at his centenary in 1862, his patriotic Addresses to the German nation were praised far more than his ...

Bentley and Son) adheres to the theory that if probability clash with his inci- dents, or even with his characters, so much the worse for probability. fie does not indeed go to work, even upon his minor details, without very obvious motive and reason; and, for that matter, a man who feels himself strong and able may be well pardoned for ...

It having been announced that a cashier had absconded, leaving a large deficit, an old lady wondered why he didn't take it with him so as to have something to live on during his exile. A man recently had a pair of pants built for hira. When he tried them on he found them very tight, and. he complained to the tailor. Can't ...

... THE PANTOMIME AT THE THEATRE .. ROYAL. . II I It is not only unfair, but it iE absurd, to attempt the criticism of a pantomime on first production. From manager down to call-boy, everybody ia thoroughly worn out with incessant rehearsal, and the demands of nature need attention.

... . CONTENTMENT. What is this life What is it after all? A daily strife In which we rise or fall. Like ocean's tide Our fortunes ebb and flow; We make a Etride Ahead, then backward go. Thus ups and downs, From life's mern till the eve,, We meet; and frowns Sore oft than smiles receive. What is the ain, Of all our daily strife? To make a name That perishes with life? Or is our toil, From youth ...

... The thermometer is one of the few things that can fall without hurting itself. The ticket-of-leave man waits upon the order of his going. A bank is a bad place for delicate young clerks and bald-headed cashiers; so much exposed to drafts, you know. The following epigram, a poetical rendering of a tipsy colloquy between Pitt and Dundas, is as fresh to-day as when first repeated:- Pitt.-I cannot ...
