That pretty plaything, The Bijou, comes to us this year

with a tiny magnifying-glass in the case that encloses the trinket- calendar : two years' use of it have, we suppose, tried the eyes of some purchasers, and the assistance of a lens is needed. The publisher, nevertheless, continues to print L. E. L.'s verses sepa- rately in a larger type ; and this year they are enclosed in fanciful borderings, designel very cleverly in the German style, by an English artist, T. H. JONES, and called " Album Tablets."
