She tO ( jk his toneft * att * t from hi « eheufcler , spread tha table , end Jnroagkt him his supper . " Gemini ! ' sow * Margaret , */ Wiflielra is not luwe yet , I hope no misfortune ha * happened to him . Are there any wolves about ?" •* What of that ? " said father Stilling , and laughed , for so ho was wont ; h » often laughed loudly when he was quite alone , p . 3—9 .
Gracious ia their state who have ever known such a noble of nature as Eberhard Stilling , the old charcoal-burner . The few bold stroke * of outline in t | ie above dialogue are matured into a sketch in the first four chapters ; and the thoughtful , independent , high-minded , tender-hearted , cheerful , devout peasant ; the man , in whom neither inevitable igno ^ ranee , nor confined observation , nor lowliness of condition , nor ceaseless toil , nor his restricted sphere of action , nor advancing age , can
obscure the attributes of true wisdom and greatness , is just displayed to us and then withdrawn from the story and the world , leaving lu * 3 memory honoured and blessed in the mind of the reader as in that of the author . We had purposed to make several extracts , but there is scarcely a
passage which would not suffer materially by being taken from its connexion in the narrative . The above must , therefore , suffice . The work is « tiilcrs ^ ood to be . the veritable autobiography of Jung , or , as he was called in consequence of its publication , Jung-Stilling , 'late professor of tl ^ e universities of Heidelberg and Marburg / and author of several theojo ^ gical and moral works , one of which has been published in English by 4
the translator of the present volume ; namely , a Theory af Pneum * tology ; or the Question concerning Presentiments , Visions , and Apparitions , investigated according to Nature , Reason , and Religion . ' Ooly the first part of the autobiography is contained in this volume ; it consists of the * Childhood of Heinrich Stilling , ' his ' Youthful Years ;' and hU 4 Wanderings . ' We trust the translator will speedily favour uya with the remainder .

Cage Bird * ; their Natural History , Management ^ Habits , Food , D » - eaxes , Treatment , Breeding , and the Methods of catching them . By J . M . Bechstein , M . D .
Dr . Bechstein lovea birds as a Turk loves women ; and shows lu » affection by the accommodations of his seraglio . He is very severe upon umateurs who allow their birds to become diseased from the dirtiness of their cages . * We love birds , " they say . i No , ' I reply ; ' you love yourselves , not them , if you neglect to keep them clean . ' O ! Doctor , Doctor ! de te fabula narratur . If you do not love yourself much better titan the birds , why all this catching and caging ? Why that precious
remark that , although all birck are less at ease in a cage than in a room , yet that some * never sing unless confined within narrow limits , being obliged , as it would appear , to solace themselves for the want of liberty with their song . ' We could find in our hearts to cage the Doctor , that he might solace himself for bis want of liberty by writing books for our amuaemen * . ' Those thai are confined that we may better enjoy the beauty of their 900 $ , should have a cage proportioned to Wiek . rAtoal vivacity : a lark , tor example , requires a large * cage lU ^ tt a pW $ ^ c , p .
