When I'm a Man ; or, Little Saint Christopher. By

Alice Weber. (Griffith, Farran, and Co.)—This is a story, which has not a little both of fun and of pathos in it, of the adventures of a little boy, Christopher, and a young friend, of his hopes and plans when he should grow up to be a man, and of what happened in the way of hindering or fulfilling them. We cannot say that we admire the pictures. Whatever the merits of the draughtsman, the process by which they are executed does not do justice to it.
