Jeannette. By Lucy Taylor. (Religious Tract Society.)—Miss Taylor supplies as

a second title to her story, " The Charity that Encourages a Multitude of Sins," and gives us some lively pictures of the professional beggar. Jeannette is a weakly infant who is hired out as a pitiable object to excite the compassion of charitable people; and Danzy is a lame boy who is forced to follow the same trade. This is a good story of its kind. How far it will effect its object, is another matter. It is a very tangled skein. It seems now that " we are not to give to him that asketh."
