Yours and Mine. By Anna B. Warner. (Nisbet and Co.)—A

pleasant little story this, which has for its moral and purpose the necessary truth, which it is yet one of the very hardest things to learn, which the Christian Church began by asserting when among its earliest converts no one "said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own," but which it is still so very far from having taught to the world. " Mine is a very poor, mean little word, if it fails to go hand-in-hand with Yours." This is the maxim which Mr. McKenzie's children are taught to apply in various ways.

We have received the annual volumes of two useful periodicals, both edited by the Rev. Charles Bullock, and published at the Home Words office. These are : Home Words for Heart and Hearth ; and Hand and Heart : a Family, Social, and Temperance Journal.
