The Sunday at Home. (Religious Tract Society.)—There are two good
serials in the Sunday at Home, "When the Bony-Tree Blooms," by Leslie Keith, and" The Family : some Reminiscences of a Housekeeper," by Evelyn Everett-Green, and the usual col- lection of miscellaneous articles. Some of these are attractive, such as "The Religions of India," which is illustrated ; the Great and Little Balolo of the Island of Fiji, entitled "Harvest of Thorns," "Life on our Lightships," "American Graveyard Curio- sities," "Quaker Women of the Past," and others. Of sermons and discourses we have a series of articles on "The Teaching of Jesus," "Sabbath Thoughts," and a large number of sermons and Bible exercises ; four articles on hymn-writers, and anecdotes of famous divines! Biography figures largely, and is always welcome and, interesting matter for the reader, and poetry accompanies each week's number. There are also a number of "Tales and Sketches," and "Tales with Workers "—an instructive series these—and a few natural history articles. We should not for- get four articles on "Foreigners in London," and an account of some Scotch superstitions. The Sunday at Home preserves a fair level of excellence.
