A Silver Teapot. By "C. E. M." (S P.C.K.)—This is

an interesting and instructive little story of a village lad who by courage and honesty makes his way up in the world, doing good as he rises to others as well as to himself, a part of an honest man's duty which is not always fulfilled.—Stella's Cup. By May Els- dale. (Frederick Warne and Co.)—This is another story of rising in the world under difficulties, enlivened with the doings and sayings of children whom it is pleasant to read about.
