CURRENT LITERATURE. •

The spirited little Scotch magazine, Sunday Talk, edited by the Rev. W. W. Tulloch, has made a new departure with a new aeries, the fourth number of which has now appeared. Its publishing head- quarters seems now to be London. It has been increased in size, the contents are more varied, and the illustrations are very decidedly improved. " Mistress Matchett's Mistake " is the title of an excellent and characteristic story by Mrs. Emma Marshall, containing some useful but unpretentious social teaching. The leading feature of the new series is the publication by instalments of sermons left behind him by the late Principal Talloch.
