Pepper and Salt ; or, Seoscning for Young Folk. Prepared

by Howard Pyle. (Sampson Low and Co.)—Mr. Pyle tells various stories in prose and verse, and illustrates them with an abundance of clever, humorous drawings. The prose tales come, with some adapts. ties, from the prolific source of German folk.lore. These are capitally told. The verge scarcely comes up to our standard, which, indeed, we are inclined to fix higher than the writers of verses for children commonly care to aim at. Children, we take it, should have Our best, which, indeed, they are quite capable of appreciating. The illustrations are good throughout.
