Parson's Green. By G. Norway. (Nisbet and Co.)—This is a

short story in which the moral of the harmfulness of idleness is pointedly enforced. A middle-class family and an artisan's come to trouble because the young people think only of enjoying them- selves. The tale is well told, with exaggeration of language, and should do as much good as such writings can be expected to do.
