Namesakes. By Margaret Haycraft. (J. Hogg.)—There is something that we

venture to think even children will think absurd in the plot of this story,—viz., the grave offence which a lad takes when he finds that an old blind man's dog is called by his own name. His pride, of course, meets with a fall. He tries to drown his namesake, and is nearly drowned himself, and so learns wisdom late, but not too late.
