Sire and Son. By Rev. Amos White. New and Revised

Edition. (Wesleyan Methodist Sunday School Union.)—The startling con- trast is between the father, who becomes a confirmed drunkard, and the son, whose linen are cast in very pleasant places indeed, who is the model of respectability, and finally marries an heiress. The sire,.who is killed in a duel subsequent to a quarrel, occupies most of the volume, and is selected to point the moral, while the son adorns the tale.
