    i as seems so frequentl to find a y safe happens haven , at that last they , and may the be sympathies disappointed of the by reader an affecting are not death : roused -scene in . order We * * warmly approve of * Little Dickie ' s Secret . ' Another story for which we have a word of commendation is Acting on the Square , by Harriet Boultwood—a tale of school-boy life ; and books that possess scarcely inferior claims to notice are Charlie ' s Success , by M « Seymour ; . Tim ' s Treasure , by Alice Lang ; and _Left Behind , an excellently told story by Jennie Chappell . ( ' ' ' We have also received the annual volume of OUr Darlings , a weekly publication . edited by Dr . Barnardo . The contents are such as will readily interest children , and the illustrations , if not original , are numerous and varied . Many of the writers whose works we have noticed above are contributors to its pages , and with such assistance a successful and honoured career for the magazine should result . In Convent Walls , by Emily Sarah Holt , has for its chief character IsabelJe of France , and the purpose of the story is to show how punishment for her misdeeds eventually overtakes that treacherous woman , and thus to enforce the lesson that wicked doers do not prosper . The Shepherd ' s Darling , by Brenda , is the story of a simple country girl , who , being tempted from home by an unscrupulous companion , eventually joins a travelling circus , from which she is only rescued by the zeal and devotion of her friends . Another work by the same authoress is entitled Proggy ' s Zrfttie Brother , of which an illustrated edition is now published . It is a pathetic little story , and reveals much observation of child life and character . A good word may also be said for the engravings , which are bright and _effective . A pleasant little fiction , quietly interesting throughout , has been written by L . Marston . It is entitled Mr . Bartholomew ' s Xiittle Girl , and it shows how a small dame of seven so crept into an old bookworm ' s heart that she brought him to a knowledge of God and completely altered his disposition . It is an affecting story , and is likely , we should think , to be Gate productive , by Maude of M much . Butler health , is evidentl y influence y desi gned The for Story hildre of n of Little early age Hal , and and in the the account Golden of the nursery at Iiyndleigh Manor House , with its _^ _^ outhful inmates , readers are sure to be exceedingly interested . Numerous illustrations , too , of a character likely to rivet their attention , adorn its pages . City Snowdrops ; or , the House of _Howers , shows a very popular writer—M . E . Winchester—almost at her best , and the story carries thb reader along with absorbing attraction from first page to last . A delightful little book entitled Playfellows has been written by Catherine Shaw . Exterior , contents , and illustrations are alike admirably adapted for the gratification of young folk , and we can promise them hearty enjoyment in its perusal . Part of the same work is issued under the title of Puss at Play ; and we have also a word of commendation for a similar production by Grace Stebbing , entitled Somebody ' s Home . i _"noaQiQ _) Qa _) _QQQPc
