Ben Miler's Wooing. By Holme Lee. (Smith and Elder.)—A. delightfully

fresh rendering of the "old, old story," quite enough to convince us, did we need it that the theme is not by any means worn out. Ben Milner is the very best of wooers. Could wo suppose that any man, placed in such circumstances, could be advised by any counsel, whether from friend or book, we should recommend him to study the admirable method which Mr. Milner pursued. Such skill, courage, and patience could not fail to succeed. This is one of the pleasantest little studies of love-making that we have ever seen.
