March Hares and their Friends. By" T. A." (Dean.)—This is

a volume of extravagances of pen and pencil which are mere really amusing than such things often are. The artist fairly rises to his subject. There is no arrike-pensde of sense in his fooling, and the result is certainly a success.—Effle's Visit to Cloudland and the 3foon. By Erna:Ices Vescelius Austen (Sampson Low, Marston, and Co.), is an extravaganza of a very different kind. There is something of the allegory about it. When we say that the guide who takes little Effie on her strange journey calls himself E-ma- ji-na-shun, the reader will see how Miss Austen sets to work.— An altogether serious book is The Peep of Day (Nelson and Son), which aims at communicating in simple language, and by the help of pictures, a certain amount of information on subjects sacred and Becular.--The Sunday Friend (Mowbray, Oxford) is an illus- trated magazine for children.
