Poppies and Pansies. By Emma Marshall. (Nisbet.)—" Poppies" and "

Pansies " represent two types of girls, which Miss Marshall describes with her wonted skill. Tbe story is slight, but well told. Now and then a touch of humour relieves its seriousness. Mrs. Montague's dogs, for instance, make a welcome diversion. Pamela, the little heroine, is a very pleasing sketch.
