      t ^ CfB ^ sk the times and seasons , for , as Wordsworth puts it , ' The world is too much n ^ SS with ua . This may account , in part at least , for the " circumstance that almost

      before we had accustomed ourselves to think of his approach , Christinaslike a welcome , but unexpected guest—is standing on the threshold once more . Indeed , it

      seems after all but yesterday since we were wishing one another , in the home , the church , the market , and the street , the compliments of the season , and it is therefore difficult

      to believe that the one red-letter day of the year , which w & all share in common , with its deep memories of the past , its cheery summons to happy gatherings at which * friends long

      parted grow single-hearted , ' and , above all , its uplifting arid far-reaching hopes , is close at hand .

      Meanwhile , the books of the season , like gaily dressed heralds , are announcing the approach of Father Christmas , and the bright windows of the shops are piled as usual with pleasant

      reminders of the good cheer and good-will which are traditionally ^ associated with the mistletoe and holly . It seems to us that the publishers have catered very successfully this

      season for all sorts and conditions of boys . Of course , the world over , tastes differ ; but grave " or gay , dreamy or dashing , practical or poetical , smart or sentimental , that lad must be hard

      to please who cannot find a volume after his heart amid the now and beautiful books which have been prepared this year for his delectation . Probably a sharp boy would retort that lie

      could easily pick out the books he liked—if the chance was given him . Parents , preceptors , II benevolent atints , and well-disposed uncles , not unnaturally , however , refuse to surrender the I

      right of selection , and for the wisdom of - , this arrangement , though possibly it presses hanl I in some cases , th . o young gentleman aforesaid , and bthers of that ilk , will find there is a good I

      deal to be said when—they arrive at years 6 f discretion . Speaking broadly , books of adven- I ture by land and by water are most in evidence , and if what Charles Kingsley would term I

      muscular Christianity does not distinguish the coming race , the fault will not lie at the do <>* ' I ¦ ¦ of those ~— who at the present -- ... __ time -,. _ - _____ .- _ seek __^ ^ to __ . „ fire ¦ -, _ — the — — imagination ¦ ¦ and ¦ 1 ¦¦ ¦ kindle ¦* the enthusiasm fl > i I
