Ten Tales without a Title. By Edith Carrington. (Griffith, Farran,
and Co.)—In some of these tales we have birds and beasts confabulating,—geese, for instance, and butterflies, and starfish,
if, indeed, these can be so called. Then we have in one a delightful description of cats,—how good is the Irish cook, who, forbidden to have a kitchen cat, and having nothing but a trap, laments,— " Sorrer a bit can the maehane sit in me lap and keep me com- pany." "The Real Pond" will be useful to a young reader ambitious of having an aquarium. All the "ten tales" are good, and they are capitally illustrated by Mr. W. Weekes.
Of the Annual Volumes of various periodical publications for the young, we have to mention The Young Standard-Bearer (Wells (iardner, Darton, and Co.) This is the thirteenth volume of a new series.—Sunday-Reading for the Young (same publishers) is on a larger scale, and in the character of illustrations, the quality of the reading, ac., of a superior kind. It is a distinctly good magazine.
