Lulu's Library. By Louisa M. Aloott. (Sampson Low and Co.)

—Here are some twelve stories of various kinds, and each, after its kind, very charming, and, as the author knows so well how to do, gently suggesting its moral. Effie, tired of Christmas, is taught better by a dream ; Lely visits the "Candy Country," and learns that bread is better than cake; "Naughty Jocko " amuses us with his tricks (with the moral that one had better not entertain an organ-grinder's monkey, for the guest will hardly be an angel) ; we are charmed with the bravery of "Cocky Loo ;" and, indeed, go through all the stories with a great deal of pleasure.
