teresting article, which shows how those la. is
a heavy affliction can yet render essential services tolliem4l
selves and others. We aro told how the best way to
" lighten the darkness" of our afflicted brethren is to teach
'them to work, not to encourage them to sit in idleness, and
indulge in morbid regrets. The best proof of the efficacy
of these arguments is given in the circumstance of a man
called Wilson, blind from infancy, writing accounts of the
"lives of fifty-four blind men and won'en, all of whom had
attained some degree of eminence." Such chronicles are
always interesting and impressive, and serve to illustrate
that there is a silver lining to every cloud. " Country
Gentlemen" gives a graphic sketch of that worthy class,
and "A Day's Pleasure with the Criminal Classes" is an
entertaining paper.

GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Ward's story of "Oswald
Cray" proceeds with interest, but it is of a some-
what painful character. Casual observations, addtd
to the treacherous man servant's malicious hints,
confirm Oswald in his unjust suspicions concerning
Dr. Davenal, and the coincidence of the mystery
hanging over the doctor's head makes Lara herself give
apparent testimony to her father's guilt. Still the conduct
of Oswald is inexcusable, and the authoress apparently
means to point a moral against pride and sullen reserve.
The Editor's "Evenings with Working People" are con-
tinued, and the discourse this month is on the parable of
the Prodigal Son. Dr. Vaughan contributes a paper on
"The Consecration of Common Things," and Principal
Forbes has a second paper on "The Antiquity of Man."
Isaac Taylor gives an account of " Some of the Costs of
War from 1795 to 1805"—a statement which has to answer
for some share in our national debt. Mr. Gosse's " Year at
the Shore" proceeds to reveal to us the marine wonders
discoverable in the month of May, and is illustrated with
three drawings of the author's own. The author of " John.
Halifax" gives us the first part of a new story, " The
Unkind Word," and there are also papers on the " Land
Tax," and "The Norse Country," besides two or three
poems.

CAN You FORGIVE HER ? By Anthony Trot,
lope, No. 7.—An admirable description of a Fox
Hunt opens this instalment of Mr. Anthony Trol•
lope's serial story, and is really, in its way, quite
worthy of the pen of the late Charles Apperley.
The object of it all, is realised—namely, George
Vavasor's selling the Brown Horse : selling it, as he does,
at the end of the hunt, for a hundred and fifty guineas, to
Mr. Maxwell. In the next chapter we hear a little more of
Alice Vavasor's Great Relations—among others, about the
Lady Glencora, now the wife of the nephew and heir to the
Duke of Omnium, the Mr. Plantagenet Palliser, that is, of
the " Small House at Allington." Finally, in the chapter
completing this number, we have a good deal more fun ex-
tracted from the absurd rivalry (in the competition for the
hand of that fair-fat-forty-Widow, Mrs. Greenow), of
hard-up Captain Bellfield, and rich vulgar Mr. Cheesacre,
of Oileymead. The last sentence leaves the reader in ex-
pectation as to there ensuing between them (in the presence
of Mrs. Greenow), of a scene of mutual defiance and recri•
minat ion.
